Where does it say we have to speak to demons?

[Guest Zayit]

I keep hearing about this deliverance ministry, and how we are to cast out demons after finding out their names. I can't find scriptural back-up for this.

Can anyone help?

Finding out their names??

Why would they need to do that?

[yomotalking]

I'm afraid Charasmactic Churches do not do that, at least not here in Britian.

That is a little harsh, don't you think?

Have you ever seen this happening?

This is pure speculation because i know nothing about that ministry. But the only scripture I know of is when Christ asked legion what it's name was.

Mr 5

9 Then He asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

Are you American?

That must be a strange Church.

I have never seen, or heard of that in England.

Maybe it is an American thing.

[yomotalking]

Well, that's not the English Charasmatic.

I've seen churches where folks wave penants and so forth, but I've never heard that the individual colors are supposed to 'allow the Spirit to operate' or any such thing. As far as I know, it is just a way of offering praise. If they think the colors allow God to work, they're out of their ever loving minds!

[yomotalking]

If you belive that, then you are missing out on so much good things that are in that certain denomination.

Yes, it is just a way of offering praise. The colors represent things like: green - life, purple - royalty. I have never, ever heard of people waving them to make the Holy Spirit move. The Holy Spirit does not need help, and, the Holy Spirit will move when and where He wants. Banners are tools of worship and sometimes tools of the prophetic, kind of like how the sword represents the word. Know what I mean.

Zayit, it has been several years since he died, but I believe that I have heard Malachi Martin discuss this as part of the method that the Catholic Church uses.

I don't know where it came from unless it was experienced from doing it for so many years. I don't remember reading anything in scripture expept the Leagon thing.

I could be wrong, but if you need to know, he wrote several books concerning this subject.
