(Clip) Curses, Witchcraft and Demon Possession — Zac Poonen

Christ Became a Curse for Believers

Curse, witchcraft and demon possession. Galatians 3 .13 says that Christ became a curse for us, so there is no curse for us anymore. So there is no curse for us anymore. A true child of God can never be cursed.

Protection from Witchcraft Through a Clear Conscience

If the whole world tries to curse me, it won't touch me. No witchcraft can touch me unless I myself go and open myself to the devil and to darkness. But if I keep my conscience clear, no witchcraft, no curse can ever touch me.

Believing in God's Protection from Satanic Attack

It cannot touch my family, it cannot touch my house, it cannot touch my property, because there are fences around me and my family and my house. I must believe that. But the devil fools us. He says, no, no, no, I can attack you.

Declaring Christ's Victory Over Satan

You got to say to Satan, you are a liar. If any of you are being oppressed by Satan like that, here's what you should do. Tell the devil, Satan, you were defeated on the cross by my Lord Jesus Christ.

Speaking Against Demons in Jesus' Name

You must speak it with your mouth. The devil cannot hear your thoughts. Jesus could not cast out the devil by thinking in his mind. He had to speak, then only the demon left. So if you think in your thoughts, the devil cannot hear you.

Christ's Indwelling Power Over the Enemy

Speak to him and say, in Jesus' name, I resist you. You were defeated on the cross by my Lord Jesus Christ. Christ lives in me and I can overcome you. Because Christ lives in me. The one who lives in me is greater than you.

Overcoming Satan Through Testimony

Just like we can speak to God, we can speak to Satan. And the more you speak to Satan, the more bold you will be against Satan. So you must learn to speak back to Satan when he tries to make you discouraged and fearful.

Casting Out Demons Through Faith in Christ

Some of you have never spoken to Satan in your life. Revelation 12, 11 says, we overcome by the word of our testimony to Satan. We must give our testimony to Satan. That means, Satan, you are defeated on the cross and I belong to Jesus Christ.

Satan, you are defeated on the cross and I belong to Jesus Christ. There are many people in the world who are possessed by demons. That is different from mental madness. Mental madness is a sickness. That can be cured with tablets.

But demon possession, the demon must be cast out in the name of Jesus Christ. And if your life is clean and you have faith, you can cast out demons. But if you are not sure about it, don't do it. Ask somebody who has faith for it to do it.
