Evil Spirits In The Home
How to get rid of evil spirits
ANSWER:
Your situation is most unfortunate, as the Bible clearly states that evil
powers do exist.
Mark
5 records the incredible miracle of Jesus casting out a group of spirits who
had possessed a man.
These
demonic powers were able to give the person super-human power, such as the
ability to break any chain or shackle put on them.
Jesus
met this man possessed of evil, who lived in a graveyard, right after he got
off a boat on Lake Galilee.
Nobody
could keep him tied with chains any more (the man had MANY evil spirits in
him!); many times his feet and his hands had been tied, but every time he broke
the chains and smashed the irons on his feet. He was too strong for anyone to
control him (Mark 5:3-4).
People
become possessed, many times, by such disobedient and evil spirits because of
some bitterness or resentment THEY hold against God.
Until
they repent of their rotten attitudes, they will continue to have such
difficulties with demons.
Jesus
warns us in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5) that we need to forgive and
love everyone.
In
the book of Matthew chapter 12 Christ revealed He cast out evil spirits by the
power of God's Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:28).
He
told the self-righteous religious leaders, who criticized and hated him, that
it did not make any sense that one demonic being would use or give their powers
to cast out another one from someone.
Jesus
then asked them a very pointed question they were too embarrassed to answer!
“Well, then, who
gives YOUR followers (the Pharisees had their sons and others they trained) the
power to drive them (evil spirits) out?” (Matthew 12:27)
The
implication Jesus is making here (which most people miss) is that the Pharisees
nor their sons or even their students could cast evil beings out of people!
Yet,
somehow, they feel they can rightly condemn Jesus for doing what they would love
to do but cannot (See also Acts 19:13-17)!
In Matthew 10 Jesus gave His disciples
the authority to cast out evil angels from people as well as heal them (Matthew 10:5, 7-8).
In
Mark 9, the apostle John said a man was casting out evil spirits by using
Christ's name (or by Christ's authority).
Jesus'
quick answer was that the person should not stop from casting out demons.
He
also added, in this case, that someone who is able to do this using his
(Jesus') name would not be someone who would be against him (Mark 9:38-40).
When confronted by strange happenings
or evil spirits at home, put these scriptures together, start to pray and ask
God to rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ.
You
should continue to pray until the disobedient spirits leave.
At
times, such evil guests in a house or other places are NOT there because of
you, but because of some previous demented person.
If your house experienced these strange
events before you moved in, then it is very likely the evil spirits came to
your house by someone in the past before you lived there.
Either
way, you and your family can pray to God to rid you of these beings by Christ's
authority.
If
this does not stop the problem, your family should consider moving rather than
dealing with such disobedient spirits.
