But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Matthew 12: 28

Jesus commenced a quite special era for mankind. Those men who served God were looking forwarding to seeing that day coming. They sensed that something more substantial was missing; they knew that the devil was real and that he was the source of all evil, but they did not have access to the divine power to undo those evil works. The work of our Father had its beginning with Christ. He said that those who believed in Him would do the same works He did and greater ones (John 14: 12).

He was the very first One to utilise the power of The Most High to deliver the oppressed by demons. To that point no man of God had been used to cast out evil spirits; to heal the sick and to make people reborn. Yet, with the coming of The Son of God the complete work began being done. The demons reacted by saying that the time had not come yet for that to happen. Today their strategy is quite a different one considering that they say that that time is already over.

The crowds, as they saw the wonders Jesus performed regarding the sick, hurled themselves onto Him because the virtue of The Lord healed the sick and cast out demons. How lovely those days were! – Days which should not have ceased. Yet, Satan wrestled and managed to cause the church to become a “Christian club”, so to speak and not a deliverance arena for the oppressed.

Our Master said that the coming of The Kingdom of God would cause demons to be cast out and it would be known by the deliverance of those who are possessed by demons. Yet, with time, since the death of Montano who lived in the mid-2nd century, the operations of God have ceased to happen. How sad! It seems that The Kingdom of our Father has not been reaching mankind any longer.

Undoubtedly, we can say that the miraculous ministry of The Lord is the only one which will convince multitudes that The Gospel is indeed the power of God. Whenever it is preached the way Jesus did the people will open up their hearts and they will receive the True Kingdom of The Most High with euphoria. A place where there is no manifestation of the power of The Holy Spirit signals that the work of God is not being done, but only sheer belief, a product of reasoning.

Do you really think that those who consider themselves as people of God, yet they do not utilize the authority of The Name of Jesus to heal the sick and to deliver the oppressed are effectively servants of The Lord? Once their eyes are wide opened the fact that they have lost so much for not paying any notice to the firm statements of our Master will dawn on them. If Jesus had not cast demons out by The Spirit of God, The Kingdom of The Heavens would not have come.

Crowds have been seeking the true servants of The Most High and when they get to find one who really serves God, they will join Christ straightaway. Obviously, the Church will neither conquer the lost with the flimsy assistance of Philosophy, nor that of marketing’s, and nor that of propaganda’s.

In Christ, with love,
