The Abilities and Activities of Demons
The Christian’s Authority Over Demons
The Christian’s Authority Over Demons
Authority of the Disciples, Luke 9:1
And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases.
During the earthly ministry of Christ, Mark 3:14
And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,
The Seventy-One, Luke 10:1, 17
Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
Has no implications for the Church, Matthew 10:5-6
These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;
but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Authority of Peter and the Other Apostles, Acts 5:14-16
And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number,
to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.
Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.
After the Resurrection of Christ and the Creation of the Church
Used as a sign for the Jews, Acts 5:12
At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s portico.
Authority of Paul
He is the Steward of our Dispensation (The Dispensation of Grace), Colossians 1:25
Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,
Used for a Sign to the Jews, Acts 19:11-12
God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.
Cast out Demons, Acts 16:16-18
It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.”
She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment.
Turn a Saint Over to Satan, 1 Timothy 1:20
Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.
Did Not Have Authority Over All Demons, 2 Corinthians 12:7
Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
Authority of the Church

Used to Justify Traditions of Men, Mark 16:17-18
“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Satan’s Methodology
Satan’s Methodology
Independence from God, James 4:13-17
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.”
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”
But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.
Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Pride, 1 Timothy 3:6
and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.
Disappointment, Job 3:1-26
Afterward Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
Discouragement, Job 10:1-22
“I loathe my own life;
I will give full vent to my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Bitterness, Job 7:11
“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit,
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Doubt, James 1:6
But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
Cowardice in Spiritual Things, Luke 22:31
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat;
Lying, Acts 5:1-4
But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,
and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet.
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?
“While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
Unforgiving Spirit, 2 Corinthians 2:10, 11
so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Stealing, Ephesians 4:27-30
and do not give the devil an opportunity.
He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Corrupt Communication, Ephesians 4:27-30
and do not give the devil an opportunity.
He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Laziness in Spiritual Things, 1 Timothy 5:11-15
But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,
thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.
At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;
for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
Gossip, 1 Timothy 5:13
At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
Busybody, 1 Timothy 5:13
At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

Our Battle is not Physical, it is Mental, Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
We Use This Armor When Under Attack, Ephesians 6:13
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
Our Daily Armor, Romans 13:12
The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Defense against the works of darkness
The Sin Nature, 1 John 1:6
