Mark 9:25 NLT‬ When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, He rebuked the evil spirit. “Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak,” he said. “I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again!”

Jesus didn’t just heal the boy because He loved Him. He healed the boy to show us what we’re capable of. Remember, in Luke 10:19 ‭He gave us authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing will harm us.

A lot of us read and have head knowledge of this authority, but it’s rarely being applied. Let’s be honest, a lot of us would be frightened if we saw a boy being possessed by a demon. We wouldn’t know what to do. Some of us wouldn’t have known it was a demon. Some of us are so intellectual and not sensitive to the Holy Spirit until we would intellectually deduce the situation as a mental illness. Meanwhile, the boy’s life would be ruined by being sedated and sent off to a mental facility.

When we see strange unusual things out of people, consult with the Holy Spirit on what you should do. He may have you speak to that evil spirit from afar. He may have you walk up to that person and cast that spirit out of them. He may have you remove that spirit by laying hands on that person. Whatever He instructs you to do, do it with boldness and without fear knowing you have the authority over every evil spirit. Don’t just wait for a pastor to deliver them. This authority has been given to every born-again believer. Now, use it.
