out of a person, it passes through
waterless places seeking rest, but
finds none. Then it says, ‘I will
return to my house from which I
came.’ And when it comes, it finds
the house empty, swept, and put in
order. Then it goes and brings
with it seven other spirits more
evil than itself, and they enter
and dwell there, and the last
state of that person is worse than
the first. So also will it be with
this evil generation.

Gerasenes. And when Jesus had
stepped out of the boat,
immediately there met him out of
the tombs a man with an unclean
spirit. He lived among the tombs.
And no one could bind him anymore,
not even with a chain, for he had
often been bound with shackles and
chains, but he wrenched the chains
apart, and he broke the shackles
in pieces. No one had the strength
to subdue him. Night and day among
the tombs and on the mountains he
was always crying out and cutting
himself with stones. ...

answered him, “Teacher, I brought
my son to you, for he has a spirit
that makes him mute. And whenever
it seizes him, it throws him down,
and he foams and grinds his teeth
and becomes rigid. So I asked your
disciples to cast it out, and they
were not able.” And he answered
them, “O faithless generation, how
long am I to be with you? How long
am I to bear with you? Bring him
to me.” And they brought the boy
to him. And when the spirit saw
him, immediately it convulsed the
boy, and he fell on the ground and
rolled about, foaming at the
mouth. And Jesus asked his father,
“How long has this been happening
to him?” And he said, “From
childhood. ...

will be saved, but whoever does
not believe will be condemned. And

who believe: in my name they will

they drink any deadly poison, it
will not hurt them; they will lay
their hands on the sick, and they
will recover.

One of God.” But Jesus rebuked
him, saying, “Be silent and come
out of him!” And when the demon
had thrown him down in their
midst, he came out of him, having
done him no harm. And they were

scorpions, and over all the power
of the enemy, and nothing shall
hurt you. Nevertheless, do not

prayer, we were met by a slave
girl who had a spirit of
divination and brought her owners
much gain by fortune-telling. She
followed Paul and us, crying out,
“These men are servants of the
Most High God, who proclaim to you
the way of salvation.” And this
she kept doing for many days.
Paul, having become greatly

spirit, “I command you in the name
of Jesus Christ to come out of
her.” And it came out that very
hour.

exorcists undertook to invoke the

who had evil spirits, saying, “I

proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish
high priest named Sceva were doing
this. But the evil spirit answered
them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I
recognize, but who are you?” And
the man in whom was the evil
spirit leaped on them, mastered
all of them and overpowered them,
so that they fled out of that
house naked and wounded.
(Acts 19:13-16)
ESV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and
in the strength of his might. Put
on the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to stand against
the schemes of the devil. For we
do not wrestle against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against
the cosmic powers over this
present darkness, against the
spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly places. Therefore take up
the whole armor of God, that you
may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to
stand firm. Stand therefore,
having fastened on the belt of
truth, and having put on the
breastplate of righteousness, ...
(Ephesians 6:10-18)

God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you.

like a roaring lion, seeking
someone to devour.
