Hi AY Family,

In our world today, there are people and even objects, which are actually being possessed by demons.

     When that happens, Satan is the one controlling them.

     If it's an object that is demonic, then throw it in a dumpster far away from you.

     People try to fight the demon possession in another person by themselves but unless they are earnestly praying that God will remove any evil influences from their life and call on the name of Jesus, their fighting against the demon possession is in vain.

     While Paul was working in Ephesus, exorcists (individuals in various religious or spiritual traditions who perform rituals to expel demons or evil spirits from possessed people, places, or objects) tried to command the evil spirit to come out of the man, but he injured all of them.

     Acts 19:13-20 says: “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.”

Sincerely,

Samuel Reid
