We see exorcisms sensationalized in movies and on television today. Perhaps some are genuine; we can’t be certain one way or the other. Here’s the problem, though: They likely are doing more harm to the person than good. Jesus taught (twice) that a demon who has been cast out doesn’t merely get mad. He gets revenge. Jesus explained: When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, “I will return to my house from which I came.” And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order (Luke 11:24-26, Matthew 12:43-45). Unless a greater strongman—namely, the Holy Spirit of God—indwells that person, then that demon will rage, retaliate, and re-inhabit with greater reinforcements. The latter end of that person is worse than the first.
The demon-possessed person’s only hope is the gospel: believing that God’s Son perfectly fulfilled God’s law for him/her, died in his/her place for sin(s) (original and actual), was buried, and rose again the third day for his/her justification. As that message is proclaimed, the Holy Spirit looses the bonds of the demon (Rom. 8:2), which before held his/her heart captive (Eph. 2:1-3). As the Holy Spirit frees them, He also indwells them (Rom. 8:9-11), seals them (Eph. 1:13-14), and, thus, prevents the demon from re-entering them. This is why most Christians believe a demon cannot possess a genuine believer, although the NT does indicate that demons can tempt believers. Demon-possessed people, therefore, desperately need the gospel.
So, should you (and I) be casting out demons?
Absolutely, we should! But, not by saying incantations or commanding them in the Name of Jesus, but by preaching the glorious gospel of grace. God’s chosen method of exorcising demons is shining the gospel’s light into the sinner’s heart, awakening him/her to their sinful condition, and sending His Holy Spirit to indwell them. This is done through the preaching of the gospel. Within the gospel proclamation—that Jesus Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day—there is Holy Spirit power to break the stronghold of demon possession, cast them out of the sinner, and seat the redeemed sinner in heavenly places with Christ Jesus: fully, finally, and forever.
