Luke 4: 31-38

English Standard Version Chapter 4

And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath, 32 and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm. 36 And they were all amazed and said to one another, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” 37 And reports about him went out into every place in the surrounding region”

Context surouding this passage

Jesus just had come out of the wilderness being tempted by Satan.

Demonic spirts were in the temple. What does this have to say about to say about Christians though? How am I to know if Christians can have a demon there are no verses that give clear guidelines.

Luke: An Introduction and Commentary 1. The Man with an Unclean Spirit (4:31–37)

Jesus’ teaching caused astonishment, because he taught with authority

I know that Jesus can set people free but I just dont know if he can set Christrians free.

Luke: An Introduction and Commentary 1. The Man with an Unclean Spirit (4:31–37)

The demon recognized the opposition between Jesus and all of his kind. The Holy One of God

James 2:19 look up later :))

English Standard Version Chapter 4

Be silent and come out of him

Why did people allow me to be on the ground that long? If they had authoirity why did they let it be that chaotic?

Luke: An Introduction and Commentary 1. The Man with an Unclean Spirit (4:31–37)

comments that the demon’s knowledge was ‘unaccompanied by faith, or hope, or charity’.

They have so much head knowledge

Luke: An Introduction and Commentary 1. The Man with an Unclean Spirit (4:31–37)

Jesus added, come out of him! The demon threw him down (Mark says it convulsed him). But that was all. It came out having done him no harm.

Luke: An Introduction and Commentary 1. The Man with an Unclean Spirit (4:31–37)

The people were amazed at this word and proceeded to comment on the authority and power with which Jesus commanded the spirits. Their tense implies that he did this habitually; they are not commenting on this one miracle. Not unnaturally reports went out into the surrounding region. Jesus was becoming a public figure

There is not an easy scriptural path.

English Standard Version Chapter 10

Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man

Saul a man who later is tormented by the evil spirit had experienced being filled with the holy spirit

There is some interesting language in the Lords Prayer see Matthew 6:13

Matthew 6:13 ESV

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

The language of deliver is really interesting

He is the father of lies I see so many holes in the theology of the Rooneys with the dark side of things. You need to understand both the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness to get a full picture I believe. I was afraid by looking into these things I would become obsessed but you need both. In a battle you need to be prepared. You need genuien prepartion.

Ask Tim to explain possesion and why it is not biblical again and his take

We are called to prepare to walk in preperation. It is naive and prideful to think he will not come after you. It is comanded for us as belivers to put on the full armour of God to clothe ourselves in truth. It is our resposibility to walk in stewardship as believers in this.

The śāṭān thus functions to test the fidelity of God’s subjects. This is likely the primary function of at least one, and perhaps multiple, angels. We might understand the serpent to have performed that role first, and to have done so in an unacceptable way, warranting his curse in the garden. As the first śāṭān to sin in the biblical literature, and by causing death to come to God’s chief creation, he would certainly warrant the distinction as śāṭānpar excellence.

Demonic oppression can be caused by our intentional sins as well as sin done to us correct? Trauma, intentinal sin. Generational curses what are those? How do those work 4th and 5th generation? Is that a legitamite number for how long they can inhabit family lines? Or is it untils somone goes in and heals those wounds?
