Exorcism is not a subject that many want to readily discuss. Today it is quite evident the significant amount of diabolical demoniac influences and activity that persists throughout the universe. There are stories in the Scriptures that show evidence of those tormented by the persistent presence of demons.

When satan rebelled against God there was a host of fallen angels that were in agreement with him. They were cast into outer darkness away from heaven because of their rebellion. We have come to know them as evil spirits. There is ongoing “spiritual warfare” where evil continues to suppress, override and attempt to possess human beings. An exorcism is a ritual or prayer that is done in order to inhibit or cast away evil. In Protestant - non denominational religions it is usually referred to as a “Deliverance Ministry.” The Catholic Church continues to use the rite of exorcism. Both of them are “Fervent Prayer” rituals!

 First let me say that there is no power or authority that is greater than the Lord! He is OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT & OMNISCIENT! The Scriptures tells us; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was GOD, He was with God in the beginning. Through Him ALL things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made . In Him was life, and that life was the LIGHT of men. The Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it…” John 1. Jesus was the WORD made flesh; He was fully man and fully God! He never ceased to be God! The world was spoken into existence through the Word! We all come from Adam and Eve the first earthly parents created by God!

 These evil spirits under satan want to subvert, corrupt and undermine any and every part of God’s creation! God is Love! It is because of His love He designed a wonderful plan of salvation. Upon the profession of one’s Faith we are given the gift of His precious Holy Spirit! The evil wants to destroy or divide anything that is of God in a futile attempt to undermine His Sovereign Authority! As Christians we are in a constant spiritual battle against the evil principalities. We must fervently pray in the “Name of Jesus!” In order to withstand these attacks, God has provided us with spiritual armor! “Finally be strong in the LORD and in HIS mighty power. Put on the Full armor of God so that we can take a stand against the devil’s scheme. For our struggle
