Show Notes

Demons and demonic activity have become cool. But Jesus didn’t think so. As we find in the Gospels, Jesus spent a good amount of time in his ministry talking about and driving out demons.  In today’s top ten list, we explore ten times Jesus took demons seriously–and why we should also! This list is not at all exhaustive, but should serve to illustrate that Jesus saw the great torment that resulted from demonic activity. He did not play games with demons; He rebuked them and drove them out.  Demons and the occult are not fun; they are dangerous.  But the Gospels also reveal that Jesus is stronger.  Demons flee at His very name. 

 

Scriptures referenced include 1 Peter 5:8; Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:21-28; Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39; Matthew 12:22-32; Luke 4:41; Mark 9:14-29; Matthew 17:14-20; Mark 7:24-30; Mark 16:9; Luke 8:2; Luke 22:31; Mark 6:7; Matthew 10:1, 8; and Luke 9:1.
