By the Spirit of God- Believe.

Mat 12:28  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 

Luk 11:20  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 

The Kingdom of God… Jesus.

The Kingdom of Heaven… Jesus.

If there is only one door, only one way into a place and absolutely no other way then to enter that place you have to go in through that door.

The kingdom of God was promised to mankind before expulsion from the Garden of Eden, their first home. An enmity would be placed between the evil and man…

Gen 3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 

Jesus stands between Satan and man. 

A way was promised for man to be redeemed, otherwise we would have been left without anything between us and the evil one.

Jesus is the way to the Kingdom of Heaven, without Jesus there is no way to enter into God's kingdom- it doesn't exist.

Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

Devils were cast out by Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit because the spiritual battle is between evil and God. Prior to Jesus' ministry no one had ever been able to heal man from the evil possession of the devil. It was unheard of for someone to go about casting out the evil spirits dwelling inside a man. Yet, Jesus did this and it was witnessed over and over again.

The reality of evil spirits possessing man is something we don't like to think about too much. We make light of it, we make it into fictional stories, television shows, movies but we do not truly take it too seriously and if we do then we are thought to be a little bit crazy. It's an area of life that teeters on belief and unbelief for a lot of people, and it tips over into unbelief more often than not.

If you believe in angels, if you believe in God, if you believe in Jesus you cannot teeter on the edge of unbelief, you must stand firmly on the ground of believing or else you must give up your belief in God, in Jesus, and in angels. You can't believe in the Holy Spirit  unless you believe in the evil the Holy Spirit is warring against.

Jesus cast out evil spirits and announced the Kingdom of God had come to the people.

Mat 12:28  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 

He is the WAY to the kingdom of God! There is NO kingdom of God without Him. The Spirit of God casts out the devils as Jesus called upon the Spirit of God to do so.

The evil spirits, the devils inhabiting people did not simply disappear after Jesus' ministry upon earth. The Apostles also went about casting them out after the death of Jesus. The Holy Spirit was given to the believers of Jesus Christ and that power of the Holy Spirit cast out devils as the believers called upon it to do so. The warriors for Christ fight against Satan's evil minions using the power of the Holy Spirit. They were not given special powers of their own, but rather they were able to ask for the Holy Spirit to work His power upon others in need. They could do this because they belonged to Jesus and Jesus recognized them as being His. And when Jesus recognizes us as belonging to Him, the Holy Spirit recognizes this as well.

We can't forget this--

Act 19:11  And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 

Act 19:12  So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. 

Act 19:13  Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 

Act 19:14  And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 

Act 19:15  And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 

Act 19:16  And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 

Act 19:17  And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 

Act 19:18  And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. 

Act 19:19  Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 

Act 19:20  So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. 

Jesus was known to the evil spirits as an adversary that had power over them. Paul was known as well to have this power through Jesus. Simply using the name of Jesus doesn't mean a thing without the power of faith, of belief in Jesus. The evil spirit did not recognize these supposed exorcists as any kind of threat, they had no power, no Holy Spirit working through them. They sought of their OWN power and the mention of Jesus and Paul's names to expel the evil spirit- it did not work. The Holy Spirit will cast out the evil, we cannot.

The way to the kingdom of God is only through Jesus, not by our power at all whatsoever.

May we believe! This is the work of God that we believe!

Joh 6:28  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 

Joh 6:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 

Believe in the Savior!

Believe.

Lord, I believe- help Thou, my unbelief!
