Overcome Evil spirits by the Power of the Holy Spirit!

Evil spirits are the enemies of Christ and of man. The Bible teaches that sin originates from the devil (1John 3:8). Only when a person distances himself from God by a sinful way of life and plunges into the darkness of disbelief and the passions he is inviting evil spirit in his life. Scripture speaks repeatedly of Satan being the father of lies and a deceiver (John 8:44; 2 Thessalonians 2:9) and he disguises himself an angel of light. Which means that even if something appears to be good in all aspects of it, yet in the end doesn't glorify God, then it's from the devil disguising himself as an angel.


Evil spirits are from God their purpose is to destroy that which is already doomed to destruction. They have a role to play in accomplishing God's will and purpose in this earth so that as many people as possible can come to know Christ. In Psalm 78:49, God judged Israel "by sending evil angels among them." In Judges 9:23, "God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem." In 1Kings 22:22, God sent a "lying spirit" in the mouth of the false prophets to send Ahab to his death. When God removes His protective hand, he often turns the person over to Satan for destruction or to an evil spirit for torment.

The Bible has many names for evil spirits:

Deaf and dumb spirit (Mark 9:17-29)

Evil spirit (Luke 7:21; Acts 19:12-13)

Familiar spirit (I Samuel 28:7)

Foul spirit (Mark 9:25)

Lying spirit (II Chronicles 18:20-22)

Perverse spirit (Isaiah 19:14; Romans 1:17-32)

Seducing spirit (I Timothy 4:1)

Spirit of an unclean devil (Luke 4:33)

Spirit of antichrist (I John 4:3)

Spirit of bondage (Romans 8:15)

Spirit of death (I Corinthians 10:10, 15:26)

Spirit of divination (Acts 16:16)

Spirit of error (I John 4:6)

Spirit of fear (II Timothy 1:7)

Spirit of haughtiness (Proverbs 16:18-19)

Spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3)

Spirit of infirmity (Luke 13:11-13)

Spirit of jealousy (Genesis 4:5-8; Numbers 5:14)

Spirit of slumber (Isaiah 29:10, Romans 11:8)

Spirit of the world (I Corinthians 2:12)

Spirit of whoredoms (Hosea 4:12, 5:4)

Unclean spirit (Mark 6:7; Luke 11:24-26)

An evil spirit can be cast out of a person through the name of Jesus and through his Blood . Jesus gives us a wonderful promise in John 14:16-17, 26, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and moves in the life of the believer to equip him or her in the service of God. We repent and take a decision to turn away from our sins and walk towards God. ‘The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (meekness), self-control against such things there is no law’ (Galatians 5:22 , 23).

The holy spirit is also known by many names a Comforter , Counselor , Advocate, Convicter of sin, Indweller of believers,Intercessor,Spirit of Truth,spirit of God/Christ/life,teacher,witness etc. Romans 8:9 tells us that if a person does not possess the Holy Spirit, he or she does not belong to Christ: “You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.” Ephesians 1:13-14 teaches us that the Holy Spirit is the seal of salvation for all those who believe: “Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession to the praise of his glory.”

When one becomes born of God and surrenders their life over to Jesus Christ, they are sealed with the Holy Spirit and become a child of God. We can conquer the Evil spirit through the precious blood of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, prayer, fasting, by the whole armor of God and By the Name of Jesus Christ.

All believers have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and are permanently indwelled by Him.

In Charismatic meetings, groups of people whipped up emotionally and coaxed into an emotional fever. They are told to repeat phrases over and over as fast as they could in order to get the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. YET, NONE OF THIS IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE! NOWHERE DOES THE BIBLE INSTRUCT A BELIEVER TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. No-where in the Bible does it say or infer that it is a "second blessing" or that the proof one has experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, is that they speak in "tongues" (known languages). However, Galatians 5:22-23, says "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Note that "tongues" is not mentioned as a fruit of the Spirit.


Further you must have the Spirit in order to have the fruit of the Spirit. All of these "fruits" do not come from our carnal nature, but from one's submissiveness to the spiritual nature only which the believer receives when he is saved and receives the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. If God says these are the fruits of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life, then the believer must have the indwelling and presence of the Holy Spirit in order to have such fruit. Never in the New Testament is there even a hint of a class of believers, who have not had the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, but yet can still serve God and have the fruits of the Spirit in their lives.

All believers are exhorted to have the fruits of the Spirit in their lives. Galatians 5:16 says Christians are to ". . . Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." Would God tell us that the way to overcome our sinful flesh was to "walk in the Spirit" when we are not able to? The answer is "of course not". The command of God is based on the fact that we have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and can absolutely "walk in the Spirit." Further, one cannot partially receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person. You can not partially receive a person. The Holy Spirit can only be fully and permanently received. Once He is received in salvation we can obey and let Him lead . . .or we can walk in the flesh. That is why Paul said, in Ephesians 5:18, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit." In other words...let the Holy Spirit control us. Again, He cannot control us if He does not indwell us.


Jesus said He would send the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, and two things are clear. One the Holy Spirit would abide with them forever and two He would abide in them.

'And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." (John 14:16-17)

Jesus just prior to returning to heaven as Acts 1 records told His disciples "And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." (Acts 1:4-5)

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God" (Romans 8:14).

"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God" (Romans 8:16).

"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own" (1 Corinthians 6:19)

"Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a deposit" (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).


"This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain? - if indeed it was in vain. Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" (Galatians 3:2-5)
"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:13-14).

"Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit" (1 Thessalonians 4:8).

"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." (1 John 2:20)

Colossians 2:9-10, "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."

Further Jesus explained what would happen after they received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:8)


In other words the disciple were not to begin their ministry in preaching the Gospel until they had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit which empowered them to be Christ's witnesses.

Jesus told the Pharisee Nicodemus, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)

In Verse 5, Jesus further explained that, ". . . unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." There can be no mistake that Jesus was saying a person, in order to be saved, must be born again of the Holy Spirit. These verses do not say that being born of the Spirit and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit are the same. However, in verse 6, Jesus said that, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." He is saying what the Holy Spirit produces is Spirit.

John explained that the Jesus spoke of the coming indwelling of the Holy Spirit in John 7:33-38; John says, "But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified." (John 7:39)

Paul explained further in Romans 8:9-12 saying, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh." (Romans 8:9-12)

What is born again?

Being born again means born of water and of the Spirit, born of God, begotten of God, born of the Spirit, regeneration, washing of regeneration, renewing of the Holy Ghost, making all things new, being translated out of darkness into God’s marvelous light , conversion, God’s beginning a good work in you. Actually Jesus says, "You must be born from above" (John 3:3).


God's word says that all believers in Jesus Christ have been "baptized in the Holy Spirit," whether or not they have "spoken in tongues." The Apostle Paul plainly states: "We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body" (I Con 12:13). Every believer in Christ has been born again by the baptism of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. But then Paul proceeds to indicate that not all believers have received the special gift of the Holy Spirit that once enabled some people to speak in foreign languages they had never learned. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again" (John 3:1-7).

There are TWO BIRTHS. The "first" birth is the PHYSICAL BIRTH when you were born into this world from your mother and father. When the Bible speaks of being "born of water," it is speaking about the physical the "second" birth is a SPIRITUAL BIRTH, which means to be born of the "Spirit" (God's Holy Spirit). A roman 8:9 tells us that the Spirit of Christ dwells within every believer. We are born again by the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1,14: Revelation 19:13).

In Romans 6:4 in which St. Paul says: "We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."

And here we can see that a person who is born physically alive but spiritually fallen and dead can be regenerated into new life. How? By being baptized INTO the death of Christ - by being mysteriously joined to Him in death - so that by the power of the Father through the working of the Holy Spirit - when Christ is raised from the dead we too will rise WITH Him into "newness of life."

Newness of life = born again. Some people who claim that we are born again ONLY by a conversion experience BEFORE we are baptized. why? "He who believes and is baptize will be saved..."

Faith AND baptism are both necessary, no matter in what order they manifest themselves.

Let us look two verses ahead at John 3:5. In John 3:5, Nicodemus is confused about being born again. Jesus clarifies what He states to Nicodemus stating:

(John 3:5) - Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Here we see that born again means the sacrament of baptism! The man who is baptized may not “feel” any different after baptism than before. But once he is baptized, he has received the Holy Spirit in a special way. He has been regenerated and made a child of God through the divine son ship of Jesus Christ in which he shares. He has been buried with Christ and raised to new life with Him. He has objectively and publicly identified himself with Jesus' death and resurrection.
