Matt. 8:16-17
“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:”
“ He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”
1 Cor. 4:20 says, “For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.”
We can preach, teach, witness, evangelize, sing, but have no power. I can be a motivational speaker like Tony Robbins1 , but not be able to offer salvation, holiness or real power.
In above scripture in Matthew, Jesus did not keep yelling at the demons over and over to come out. They left because they knew who He was and He knew who He was. If we know who we are in Him we can know our authority and power in Him.
