Our Faith is Real

(Luke 8:26-39)

Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim

God
is the living Lord.
He
gave the Gospel to the world
and gave Christ’s name (which works by the Gospel).
He gives whatever we ask in Jesus’ name (Jn 14:13-14).
Firstly, He gave repentance for the forgiveness of sins
and the baptism and hope of regeneration (Acts 2:38).
He put the Holy Spirit in our hearts. This is real (Jn 16:7-14).
If the Holy Spirit enters our hearts, power will be shown (Acts 1:8)
and demons will suddenly be driven before it (Mt 12:28).
Worldly people deny the existence of demons
and are afraid of them (Mk 6:13-16).
There is no science denying demons, even in this civilized age (Mk 5:25-29).
But the Bible teaches that the cause of all disease, misfortune and curse
are demons (Mt 8:14-17).
Demons cannot hide their identity before Jesus’ name (Mk 16:17-20).
The root of disease disappears when they are exposed and flee.
We are saved by believing the Lord’s word.
Only the Lord Jesus taught the power to eradicate demons.
This appears for real (Heb 13:8).
〇 If demons flee from people’s bodies, they suffer pain (Mt 12:43-45).
When they flee, they even seize animals’ flesh (Lk 8:29-33).
Demons finally enter the abyss.
〇 If the demons lied,
the Lord will have shut their mouths.
But He acknowledged that they still had time left.
〇 Demons cannot hide from the Lord’s word.
Demons are the spirits of dead unbelievers. They are persons without flesh.
Since the word is living, demons know and treble (Js 2:19).
※ Demons are not frightening.
They must be cursed in Jesus’ name.
Believers must drive out demons by God’s word (Mt 8:16).
