Opis

"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils " warned the widely respected C. L Lewis. "One is to disbelieve in their existence "The other is to believe and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them " Father Juan Cortes was a psychology professor at Georgetown University This was where The Exorcist was filmed He said that all cases of possession he's studied can readily be explained away in modern scientific terms Today's science can also explain, according to Cortes, the old Biblical accounts of "casting out devils " Reverend Donald Basham, an ordained Disciples of Christ minister and others vigorously disagree Basham claims a full one-fourth of Jesus Christ's ministry was solely devoted to casting devils out of possessed people This man is a long-time counselor. He's able, "by taking authority over a demon," to achieve quickly what months of counseling failed to accomplish Taking this authority over a demonic spirit is quite simple The exorcist must only do it "in the name of Jesus " Or "on the blood of Jesus " In Acts 16:16, the Apostle Paul was on his way to prayer when he met a psychic, "a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination " Paul couldn't seem to rid himself of this pesky girl She continued following him for days In Acts 16:18, Paul finally lost patience with the diviner He became quite upset over her persistent antics Paul promptly turned on the girl He unhesitatingly cast out the evil spirit of divination, or fortune-telling How did Paul execute this deed? He simply said: "I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her " And the spirit was expelled Almost instantaneously Most theologians agree that Jesus Christ believed in demons In Mark 1:21, Jesus drove evil spirits out of a man in the synagogue of Capernaum Billy Graham supports the view that Jesus acted as God's exorcist He offers Matthew 12:28 as evidence Philip performed numerous miracles while he was in Samaria. This man of God is known to have exorcised quite a few evil spirits. These "unclean spirits" came forth from the possessed people "crying with a loud voice." The evil entities are believed to have been both baffled and enraged at being deprived of their dwelling place. "Many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed" by Philip's elementary act of forcing the demonic spirits to leave their human vessel "It is possible to cast demons out of physical bodies " declared the late Kathryn Kuhlman, noted television evangelist and healer."Young people have a right to be frightened of the possibility of possession "Demons are a highly organized system of evil spirits hostile to God and men," charged Evangelist Leighton Ford, a long-time member of the Billy Graham team. "Demons are messengers of Satan "Wholly given over to evil A youthful Holiness minister, a dubious Catholic priest, and a skeptical Southern Baptist evangelist formed an unlikely trio of exorcists They'd come together in an effort to try to help young, pitiful Karen Kingston They would temporally lay aside their theological differences They would join hands in mortal combat against the raging forces of Satan Ten people experienced a horrifying three days in contact with a dangerous group of evil entities Ten people came away from the chilling experience with a strengthened faith in God Ten people witnessed a miracle
