Before we can cast out a demon we must understand how these things, the works of the flesh, and demonic activity fit together. Error and misunderstanding have hindered the church from effectively ministering to the needs of the sick and brokenhearted.

Recognizing what we are dealing with is essential to dealing with it, that includes recognizing and dealing with demons. In our modern systems of diagnosing, everything has been relabeled a bad behavior, an addiction, depression, etc. Nothing is taken back to its Point of Origin to see what is really going on or where it comes from.
In God's divine order, there are only two kingdoms. Demons are from the devil's kingdom and work to ensnare humans. They are the spiritual parasites that work for Hell and company. Before we can deal effectively with something we must admit it is real. To deny the cancer or the addiction, or to treat it incorrectly will not bring the results we are looking for. Spiritual and physical life and recovery work on these same principles.Error in church doctrine must be corrected. The command given by Jesus to Cast out Demons is clear. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness and spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Eph. 6:12

Believe it or not, we hate sin! We are built by God, created in his image. God hates sin and so do we. Sin separates us from God and His plan to reunite us with Him. The Devil has used sin as a lever to pry us apart from God by using our hatred of sin to get us to try to get rid of it ourselves. He has created all kinds of religions and rituals to deal with it, but the truth is we are freed through the Blood of Jesus.

We are often being affected by other people's demons when we are tempted to go with them to do evil. We don't realize they are being tempted by demons that are now extending their influence through them to us. This is the chain reaction of evil influence that brings us both into bondage. Demons also operate within us. They seek to merge themselves with us in such a way as to deceive us into defending our behavior as being part of who we are. We become offended when other people try to call our attention to our behavior. We take it personally and get defensive. The twist ends up with us defending the demons that are working to destroy us.

A subject most of us live with but no one ever talks about. Life is full of difficulties, most of which come through dysfunctional relationships with others. We are enmeshed, obligated, dependent, controlled, entangles with roped of love and need. If fear is the glue that holds this dysfunctional mess together, then love is the thing that will fix it. But, how do we love the person and deal with their demons in a godly way that pleases God and brings deliverance? Read I Samuel for the story of how David did it.

Having faith implies we believe in something. Having faith in the promises of the One True God, means we believe in God. Faith in God’s Promises is foundational to a believer’s life. Abraham believed the promises God made to him and his faith caused him to follow God. The faith he demonstrated in his obedience to follow God was accounted to him as righteousness.
But, faith can be tricky. How much faith do I need? Do I have enough faith to receive the thing I am believing for? Is our faith measured in the outcome or in obtaining the objective for which we trusted? After all, some who believed were delivered from the lions and some were eaten by the lions. The testing of our faith is the point of all our trials - which reduce down to can I believe God to be faithful to deliver me from the trial according to His Promises.

Joy to the World the Lord has come! The joy of the Lord is our strength. The world is weak and weary and has lost its way. This is a time to remember the goodness of God who sent His Son to bring peace and reconciliation to mankind.
God is not mad at us! He has come to save us from this world that has become unfit for human habitation. He has come to announce through the angelic hosts, His love.
His love and the gift of salvation is not based upon the goodness and good will of men, but is conditional only in our willingness to accept His good will, offered in the Gift of His Son.

Faith is living beyond the natural realm of sight. Jesus said not to make judgments based upon appearance. We are told, “The just shall live by faith”, not feelings. So what do we do with our feelings, reality and appearances of the way things look when we are tempted to base our decisions on what things look like and feel like?
Doubt and double-mindedness prowl on every side as the Word of God admonishes us “to be strong in the power of His might” “that we may be able to “stand against the wiles of the devil.” We stand and prevail through faith, standing on the word and promises of God, who is faithful to complete the work He has begun in us. Reality and appearances and feelings and fear must be defeated by faith in the faithfulness of God and in His compassion for us to finish the work He has begun in us.

Peter describes the devil as an adversary that goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He tells us to reisit him steadfast in the faith. How do we deal with the lions roaring through your life? The pain, the grief over the loss of loved ones, the loneliness and fear, the health issues and the calamities of life are too much. They are threatening to overwhelm us and take us out.
Peter tells us to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. Daniel addressed those lions by humbling himself to confess the sins that had brought his people into captivity - by confessing the sins of his nation.
Now it is our turn. What will we do? Deny we have a problem or humble ourselves and confess our sins and the sins of this nation so we can receive the revelation of God’s forgiveness and good news. There is only one way out of this and that is the way provided by Jesus Christ
