CAN WE KILL DEMONS WITH PRAYER?

THE CHARISMATIC AND THE PROPHETIC MOVEMENTS HAVE POPULARISED A LOT OF ERRORS THROUGH RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM (going too far with certain truths).

IN THESE MOVEMENTS IMITATION IS COMMON. ONCE A PROPHET OR MAN OF GOD DOES SOMETHING, THE NEXT MOMENT ANOTHER CHURCH IS DOING SAME. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW POWERFUL THE PERSON IS, HE IS NOT SUPERIOR TO THE WORD OF GOD. WE SHOULDN’T FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE IF IT CONTRADICTS SCRIPTURE. YOU CAN BE FULL OF THE ANOINTING AND PREACH ERRORS IF YOU DON’T APPLY YOURSELF TO ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE.
I’M SURE DEMONS KEEP LAUGHING WHEN PEOPLE ARE SWEATING ALL OVER PRAYING THAT WAY. YOU CAN’T KILL DEMONS, THEY ARE SPIRIT BEINGS. JESUS DIDN’T KILL A SINGLE DEMON WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH. IF HE DID, THEN IT WAS NEVER RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE. DEMONS HAVE AN APPOINTED TIME WHEN GOD WILL DESTROY THEM IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Mat 8:29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

WE HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO KILL THEM BUT WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO RESIST THEM, FRUSTRATE THEIR WORKS AND CAST THEM OUT WHENEVER WE ENCOUNTER THEM.

Jam 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

IT MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE IF YOU OPERATE IN THE WORD OF GOD. IF THEY COULD BE KILLED JESUS WOULD HAVE KILLED ALL OF THEM FOR US. THE APOSTLES WOULD HAVE EVEN FINISHED THE JOB SO THAT WE WOULDN’T HAVE TO MEET THEM.
EXERCISE YOUR AUTHORITY OVER DEMONS AND DEMAND THAT THEY CEASE FROM THEIR OPERATIONS.

Mar 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will DRIVE OUT DEMONS; they will speak in new tongues

COMMANDING THEM TO DIE IS SHEER IGNORANCE. YOU CAN KEEP COMMANDING THEM TO DIE WITH PRAYER AND FASTING FOR 40 DAYS AND YOU MAY END UP WITH STOMACH ULCER. THEY WON’T DIE. BUT ONE THING IS SURE: IF YOU RESIST THEM AND CAST THEM OUT, THEY WILL FLEE. HALLELUJAH! 

SINCERELY,
