I don’t talk to demons or ask them their name, but to call forth the person whom Jesus desires to save. The result is that demons take a back seat while Christ takes the driver’s seat.
For example, I was taking to a neighbor who had been heavily drinking. Looking into her eyes, I saw a spirit gazing at me. Addressing her name with authority, I said, “Roberta, how are you doing today?” In response to her name, Roberta became present and we had a conversation.
Although I may bind a spirit, my main focus and purpose is to lead the person to Jesus and get them filled with the Holy Spirit. In doing so, the demons will flee for in Christ presence, the captives are set free.
In His amazing grace,
