Chapter 6

THE CASTING OUT OF DEMONS

It was in Brooklyn, New York, on a Sunday morning. I was ministering in a Full Gospel Church. The pastor and his wife were recent graduates of a Bible School in Lima, New York. He was leading a group song service, when suddenly a woman in the congregation was seen to begin swaying from side to side, with a look of contortion and agony spread across her face. She started to bump into those on either side of her, and it was obvious to me that she was in torment.

Turning to the pastor, I said, “Do you see that woman down there? You are seeing a first-class case of a religious demon operating.”

He was startled. “What shall we do?”

It was then that I had to rely on the gifts of the Spirit. The Lord told me to go down and speak to the woman. However, at that point, I did not know what God would have me say to her. But I told the pastor to carry on leading the singing, and I went to the woman and said, “Sister, you are tormented.”

“Yes,” she replied, “I know.”

Then I explained that I would pray for her after the service along with the others, and told her to sit down and behave in the name of the Lord, which she did.

At the end of the service my wife and I approached the lady and asked her if she was willing for us to pray for her. She replied that she was, so I began to rebuke the religious demon in Jesus’ name. Immediately, it started to scream with that unearthly sound that comes in such cases. I had to go around the church, closing every window because it was summertime, and the people were astonished at what was happening. By the time I returned from this chore, my wife had her hands on the woman’s shoulders, and was holding her from being hurled to the floor, so great was the agitation of the demons. After about ten minutes of screaming and violent coughing spells, she was delivered, and then said, “Why hasn’t anyone ever done this for me before?” What a pathetic question—and yet how appropriate. Why?

The ministry of casting out demons, or evil spirits, is one which has long been neglected by the Christian church, probably owing to fear of the unknown. It is, however, a ministry which is coming more and more into prominence in this latter day revival.

Many people have little idea even of what a demon is, or what it can do. Most of us are familiar with the work of angels as ministering spirits to those who are the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14; Psalms 91:11), but we are apt to forget that there are “evil angels” also—those who fell from their previous high estate as the trusted servants of Jehovah and were cast out of heaven with Lucifer, the son of the morning, or Satan himself. “And the great dragon was
