(Luke 4:41 NKJV) And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
The presence of Jesus preceded Him in every village and city He went into. Just the fact that He was there caused the demonic spirits to tremble.
Jesus took the time to lay hands on those who came to Him. All those who came to Him were healed and delivered. But take notice of what happened when the demons came out of the people he had cast them out of.
He did not allow them to speak.
Why? Because He was the Christ, the Chosen One… Immanuel, God with us. His presence commanded submission by those that were under Him.
As His body, with His spirit dwelling in us, we should also exercise this kind of authority when it comes to those things that He has given us authority over.
He has given us power to cast out demons and subdue them. We should be exercising our authority and wreaking havoc on the kingdom of darkness.
Don’t waste another day sitting on the sidelines and living a life of mediocrity and empathy. Do something about it.
