Jesus cast out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit. He said so Himself.
But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. (Luke 11:20, NLT)
Much like healing, deliverance does not come by special procedure, a specific prayer, some superstitious ritual, or any man-made gimmick or technique. Quite simply, it’s the power of the Holy Spirit. There’s no complicated method to apply - that power is found in surrender. The more surrendered you are to the Holy Spirit, the greater will be the flow of God’s mighty power through your life.
It’s no contest. In all the talk of principalities, strong demons, and curses, I think we sometimes forget that no matter how strong a demonic spirit is, there is no spirit on earth more powerful than the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t deal with demons; the Holy Spirit dominates demons. By His mere presence, the forces of darkness are exposed, overcome, and expelled. Just as quickly as light dissolves the shadows, so the Holy Spirit rids one of demonic influence. Like sand castles under a roaring ocean wave, the bondages of the enemy are destroyed.
Can you imagine the Holy Spirit being resisted by a demonic being? Do you imagine that a demon is powerful enough to struggle with or fight with the Holy Spirit? No way.
That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. (Matthew 8:16, NLT)
So if you’re a believer, rest assured that you carry within you the power to instantaneously overcome or expel any demonic being. Light is no match for darkness. Demons are no match for the Holy Spirit.
