Authority Over Evil Forces
We are nearing the end of our “With Authority” series. Today we look at “Authority Over Evil Forces.” As Christians, we recognize the reality of the demonic, of evil forces, and of things that cannot be seen. There are things that “no one” (Mark 5:3,4) can grasp, let alone have authority over. Mark in particular highlights Jesus’ authority over “demons” and “unclean spirits.” What does this mean for modern day Christians?

Transference of spirits
You will learn one of the most powerful and influential strategies used by Satan. Recognition of this strategy will answer many questions you have had in the past as you witnessed negative changes in your family, friends, and church fellowship...perhaps even in yourself.

Devils and Demons
Just outside the bandwidth of human sight lies a dark spirit world. Ancient civilizations have assumed its existence. Some even courted its powers. The Judeo-Christian faith is no stranger to its existence. It is led by a fallen angel once called Lucifer, now called Satan, the Hebrew word for adversary. In the New Testament accounts, he is called the Devil, diabolos, the accuser. He is the murderous enemy of mankind, the vowed foe of God and the hopeful destroyer of the church. Who is this guy? Who are the demons? How do we fight what we cannot see? Devils and Demons is a brief overview of who and what we are up against.

Better Days Ahead
In the middle of difficult times, it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Even the strongest in faith are sometimes given to doubt or disillusion. It can be easy, in the midst of unjust suffering, to think that God has forgotten or that he is not interested in helping us. Yet the story of the gospel—that Jesus suffered unjustly, died, rose again, and now is in heaven—reminds us that unjust suffering is not in vain. Though it might look bleak and hopeless, there are better days ahead. Today, in our teaching from 1 Peter 3:18-22, we see Peter reaching back thousands of years to the time of Noah to remind us that unjust suffering is not in vain. No matter how bleak the present conditions may seem, it will be worth it to follow Jesus in obedience. And if you doubt that, remember that Jesus who suffered is now exalted victorious over all his enemies. Like Jesus, and with Noah, our faith in Christ will ultimately be vindicated. In the midst of unjust suffering, remember the gospel, remember that Jesus wins, and take heart that he will win for you.

Demonic Possession
Demonic Possession: Many people today are possessed by evil spirits just as in Jesus’ day. In the book of Luke Chapter 8 Verse 26 through 28 is says: 26: And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 27: And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. 28: When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. The demons know all about Jesus; do you?
