I can fight demonic oppression in Jesus' name

There is power in the name of Jesus to shut down demonic manifestations!

During one of our breaks at the conference I attended, I decided to go outside for a stroll.

After some time, I walked back to the building where the conference was and noticed a man near me who started walking in my direction.

He was rapping and I almost joined in to freestyle with him until I discerned that there was something demonic about this individual’s behavior.

Once I got to the door to head back into the building, the man got even closer to me. He looked directly at me, kissed at me without physically touching my face, and spoke something strange to me.

My first reaction was to look directly at him and tell him, “Jesus loves you!”

The guy started speaking profanities loudly. He looked visibly confused as if he was not in his right mind.

We were now in the building and there were multiple witnesses. People were looking at us and these people who spectated looked visibly afraid. Nobody tried to jump in to help.

I looked at this guy and gently told him that there was no need to curse. I made it super clear that his behavior was unacceptable. He looked back at me and pretty much said: “Oh, that’s not something I should do here, huh?”

In that situation I remembered a minister’s testimony about binding up demonic spirits in a situation she was in. Well, that’s what I did. I felt like in that situation that I was to pray against the demonic activity right in front of him.

I looked directly at him and started vocally binding up the demonic activity in Jesus' name. After I did this, I started to tell this guy that Jesus wanted his soul and all of him.

Weirdly, after I prayed against the demonic activity witnesses around me started to break out in prayer.

What I learned/am reminded of from this situation:

1. Jesus is Lord.

2. If not for the 1 Corinthians 12 discerning of spirits and what I have read in Scripture, I could have easily seen this as mental health situation. This was clearly spiritual!

3. This is not the first time I have encountered demonic stuff while I was out and about, but this was the first time that I thought to just pray that way in front of the individual that was clearly dealing with the demonic oppression. We need more people out on the streets witnessing God’s love to individuals who are demonically oppressed.

4. God didn’t give any of us a spirit of fear and when we see something wrong spiritually we are to shift the atmosphere through prayer. When we invite the Holy Spirit into every situation, He can give us a strategy and show us exactly how to pray.

5. God is good all the time.

Please lift up a prayer for this individual and anyone else out there who is dealing with spiritual oppression. Jesus is a deliverer and He heals the brokenhearted.
