Deliverance is the Kingdom way
Pattern of Jesus
No Old testament record of driving out evil spirits
Jesus spoke with such a glory and power emanating from him.
Jesus taught from inner knowledge of God
The demon knew Jesus’ true identity before the apostles did.
The demonized man was apparently comfortable in the presence of the religious teachers, but when Jesus stepped into the room, the demon spoke out and couldn’t resist the power of Jesus
Demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits - different kinds of spirits
Jesus dealt with the spirit in the man
Daimonizomai (Greek) - to be demonized, not possessed
Expel - will and physical action
Jesus wants us to proclaim who He is, not demons
Mark 1:39 So he continued preaching in their synagogues and expelling evil spirits throughout the whole of Galilee.

Continuing Ministry
Until His work of perfection on the cross

A man brought his son who had a mute spirit - disciples couldn’t - unbelief
