Stopping Spiritual Attacks—Part Eight

"Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." {Luke 10:17 NKJV}

Once sin issues are addressed, demons usually have to depart when believers rebuke them or command them to leave—in the name of Jesus.

Affirmations of truth are also effective.

These must be audible so that the demon can hear.

Commands and rebukes:

• "Satan, I command you to leave in Jesus' name!"
• Rebuke the devil in the name of Jesus.
• Forcefully rebuke the devil, out loud, in the name of Jesus. Five to ten sentences long.

The word 'Satan' works just fine. You don't have to also say "demons."

Rebuke or give commands to demons with authority. It's more effective that way.

Sometimes, a forceful rebuke of the devil is necessary.

Affirmations of truth:

• To demons: "I'm not afraid of you!"
• "Satan, you have no power over me!"

Affirm with confidence.

I think you'll be surprised how well all of these work.
