POWER AGAINST DEMONS
After being accused by religious leaders, “He uses power from
the ruler of demons to force demons out of people” [Mk 3:22
ER], Jesus responded first with a rhetorical question, “HOW CAN
SATAN CAST OUT SATAN?” [Mk 3:23] or simply
communicated “SATAN WILL NOT FORCE HIS OWN
DEMONS OUT OF PEOPLE” [Mk 3:23 IC]. Then Jesus used a
logical parable or story example and finally a warning “ANYONE
WHO ·SPEAKS AGAINST [BLASPHEMES] THE HOLY
SPIRIT WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN” [Mk 3:29 EX]. Like
those religious leaders, people often speak against other religions
or people with different beliefs. Remember Jesus teaches us, people
“WILL HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT ON THE DAY OF
JUDGMENT FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD THEY HAVE
SPOKEN” [Mt 12:36 NI]. If a person is concerned about
something, it is better to allow the words of Jesus or God from the
bible to correct it, than stating a personal opinion. Yes, Jesus said
believers “WILL DRIVE OUT DEMONS IN MY NAME” [Mk
126:17 GN] and if a demon is discerned, follow Jesus example and
let God guide you on what to “DO” [Jn 14:31] since the power to
drive out demons comes through God’s spirit. Do you respect God
and His spirit?
