How to Cast Out Demons (1)

The Offspring Of Woman Will Crush Your Head

** Starting Words
** Scripture reading: <Ge 3:15, Rel 12:1-12, 20:7-21:5, Mat 16:13-28>

1. The history of Earth, is the process by which Christ destroys the [Anti-Christ] eternally and
with it, establishes the eternal Kingdom

1) The eternal plan of God, is to build the glorious eternal Kingdom, through the history of mankind
① God wants to fulfill His final goal through [the history of this earth] = Exalt the King (Christ = God), gather
people <Rel 21-22>: God’s purpose is not in the [perfectly created man, Adam], but the people of the eternal
Kingdom, who have received the newly created life (Son, Body, Temple) through the life of Christ (by dying
and resurrecting with Christ). For that, God created the visible world (Earth) and the invisible world (Heaven),
however, in the new heaven and new earth, there is no distinction between that which has form and that
which has not.
② Therefore, God allows Satan (Serpent, Demon, Evil Spirit) to fall from grace, and temporarily tempt man to
fall <Ge 3:1-7, Rel 12:1-12>
- The fallen arch angel [Lucifer] and one-third of his angels [tens of thousands] <Rel 12:4>, already lost the
battle in heaven <Rel 12:8>, and had thus received the eternal judgment and curse <2 Pe 2:4, Ju1:6>.
There is no more place for them in heaven, and they are hurled to the earth <Rel 12:9>; God wants to
accomplish His eternal plan, thus He allows Satan to rule over the air temporarily, become King of the world
<Rel 12:12, Eph 2:2, Jn 14:30>, lead the whole world astray <Ge 3:1-6, Rel 12:9, 1Pe 5:8>, tempt and
persecute saints <Rel 12:10. Jo 1-2>
- Ancestors Adam and Eve were deceived by him and sinned, Holy Spirit left and they became flesh (state of
spiritual death), bounded by Satan, Adam’s descendants were all born under the authority of Satan, carrying
with them the root sin, born in the state of flesh, following the goals, culture of this world, indulging in flesh,
all living under the law of sin and death <Ep 2:1-3, 1Jn 3:8, Jn 8:44>
③ But God has, from the start, prepared the [offspring of woman, Jesus Christ]. Through the embodiment of
Christ, the word becomes flesh, and teaches and exposes the eternal plan and perfect will of God, the
redemption and love though death and resurrection, and the throne authority in heaven, [all authority and
schemes of Satan] had already been shattered (will crush your head) <1Jn 3:8, Jn1:1-18, Col 1:26, Eph 1:7,
4:8, Php2:5-11, Heb 2:14-15>: For God’s people who are chosen since the beginning of the world, God has
already prepared the [mystery of the gospel of Jesus Christ], sent gospel messenger, to let them hear, and
through the spirit’s conviction, convicted them to believe and accept, going though [repentance (turn to),
baptism (to die and resurrect with Christ = willing to totally demolish and rebuild in Christ), forgiveness of
sins (depart from the law of sin and death), the receiving of a newly created life (Christ life, Christ authority,
Christ living)…]
④ Though Satan’s head is already crushed, God temporarily allows Satan to strike the heel of [Christ and
Christ’s church] in order to fulfil [the redemption of Christ], and to [test Christ’s church, in order for them to
receive crown] = In history, God’s people Israel and Christ’s church continue to be attacked by Satan
(temptations, persecution)
# Abel killed, the days of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Paul
# God’s people bounded in Egypt (God hardened the heart of Pharaoh)/pursued them even after the exodus
from Egypt/The battle of Israelites in the wilderness and land of Canaan/The rise and fall of Israel during the
eras of Judges and 1, 2 Kings/The destruction of North Israel/The captivity of South Judah/The tribulations of
the early churches
- [The yeast of religion] (Worldliness, Legalism, Mysticism, Humanism) sneaks its way into the fellowship of
God, bewitching believers, persecuting believers
⇒ God saves His people (Born again), tests His people (Sanctification), uses His people (glorify men, benefit
men, build kingdom and receive crown) in the dark world dominated by Satan
⑤ When Christ’s gospel is preached to the whole world, and the number of those saved is full, Jesus Christ
will come again, to judge the living and the dead; lastly, Satan and all who belong to him will be cast into the
eternal burning sulphur. Those who belong to Christ will enter new heaven and new earth, and according to

1
the fruits of life they have bore on earth, they will receive the eternal crown, reign as king with Christ
eternally, accomplish eternal new works, serve God and enjoy eternal happiness with Him.

2) Therefore, the earth’s history is the process of [Christ]’s battle with and victory over [anti-Christ]
① In the whole revelation of the book of Revelation, we will see: the battle and victory of the [Lamb of God,
Christ] (Israel, church, saints) over the anti-Christ (Satan, all kings and nations on earth, people of darkness,
dark world).
=> Christ and 7 churches <1:1-3:22>
God's eternal dominion and glory (God's throne, Lamb Christ,
ministry of holy people, the serving by angels) <4:1-5:14>
Open up seven seals (the revelation unveiled
by Christ) <6:1-8:6> -> Sound seven trumpets (Evangelism of the church of Holy People) <8:7-11:19>

Pour out seven bowls (eliminate anti-Christ) <16:1-18:24>
Christ totally triumphed over and judged Satan
and all those who followed him <19:1-20:15>
New heaven and new earth <21:1-22:21>
② In the whole history of mankind, we will see: the progressive exposure of the mystery of Christ revealed
by God, the fulfilment of Christ, the word, becoming flesh, Christ’s death and resurrection, Christ’s throne
dominion, the calling, blessedness, and refining of holy people Abel, Noah, Abraham, descendants of Israel,
and Christ’s church, and also the process by which they battled and triumphed over the anti-Christ in this dark
world, continually building the kingdom

2. All the holy people who belong to Christ, cannot reject [the sacred mission] or avoid [the
glorious spiritual battle]

1) All the holy people who belong to Christ, have to accept [the sacred mission] and take part in [the
wonderful spiritual battle]
① The main character of the whole history [Jesus Christ], for 33 years of His life on earth, completed the
[sacred mission], broke all schemes and authority of the [anti-Christ]; established the foundation of the
Kingdom, i.e. the foundation on which the holy people can receive life, victory and crown.
② All holy people who belong to Christ, in their [days on earth], have to individually accept [the sacred and
unique mission prepared for them by God], rely on Christ’s victory, take part in the [wonderful spiritual battle],
receive the eternal inheritance, and pass on this sacred inheritance to the generations to come → Abel, Noah,
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, apostles…
③ Today, what is the lifetime mission God has prepared for me and my descendants (spiritual descendants)?
= Christ, through my life, time, conditions, relationships, want to multiply the branches of the vine, gather the
people continually, expand Kingdom = restore Christ’s glorious image, bless family and descendants, bless the
saints and churches in the region, bless the gospel ministry in this era = For this sacred mission, [for Christ’s
body, i.e. the church, I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions] <Col 1:24> ,
thereby willingly [carry own cross, rely on the Lord, follow the Lord]

2) Satan never rest, but keep on attacking Christ’s body continually (saints, church); the entire focus of
Satan’s schemes lies in [preventing men from knowing Christ] <Ge 3:15> = blinding the eyes of unbelievers
<2 Cor 4:4>, father of lies <Jn 8:44>, masquerades as an angel of light <2 Cor 11:14>, cults with all kinds
of spirits which do not acknowledge that Jesus has come in the form of flesh <1Jn 4:2-3> = All of man’s
problems, are not about the problem itself, but the problems arise from man’s ignorance toward Christ →
When we study the areas in which the worldly people cannot comprehend most, cannot have breakthrough
most, and are most easily bewitched, then we’ll know the schemes which Satan are most concerned with/the
content which God most values and emphasizes in His word, then we’ll know where the focus of Satan’s
schemes is:
① Prevents men from understanding the complete divergence between [Religion and Christ’s gospel], prevent
men from understanding the truth of born again
② Prevents saints from understanding the [eternal promise in Christ], and thus disabling them from receiving
the lifetime goal and Immanuel living
③ Prevents believers from understanding [relying on Christ’s blood] to be cleansed of sins, enjoying the
mystery of full freedom.
④ Prevents saints from understanding how to fulfil the [4 gospelizations], to receive the eternal inheritance.
⑤ Prevent saints from understanding how to carry the cross, [filling up in their flesh what is still lacking in
regard to Christ’s afflictions] in [all kinds of problems] to receive crown.

3) Therefore, the grace and inheritance received by every saint on earth is different.
- The comparison between Abraham and Lot/the different inheritance received by Israel (Jacob)’s 12
sons/The Israelites who fell in wilderness and those who could enter the land of Canaan to receive their
inheritance (Joshua, Caleb and new generation)
- Today, we also see different grace among believers
⇒ Every believer shall not escape the [mission] and [battle], and should not compromise with the devil (flesh,
world). To escape or compromise cannot bring us [peace], but will in fact cause us to face greater attacks
(like how Goliath went against Israel, like how King Assyria went against King Hezekiah). The Bible teaches us:
[Resist the devil and he will flee from you] <Jam 4:7>, Resist him, standing firm in the faith (roaring lion,
prowls around, looking for someone to devour) <1 Pe 5:9>

3. The battle of saints is a battle with guaranteed eternal victory. And the mystery of fighting the
battle itself lies in [relying on Christ]

1) Christ’s promise, is [God is eternally with us] <Mt 28:20>, [absolute authority and victory] <Mt 28:28, Jn
16:33>, [absolute peace] <Mt 11:28-29>, [absolute fulfilment] <Jn 16:24>, [great works] <Jn 14:12, Ac
1:8>, and [blessings in all things] <Jn 15: 7-8, 3 Jn 1:2>

2) Saints’ only secret to all victory lies in relying on Christ = Before battle, must first grasp the [absolute
answer] bestowed by Christ
- Christ, through His whole life, and through blessed saints like Abraham, David, Paul, has revealed His
answers to us
- The absolute perspective and answers towards death, illnesses, possessions, fame, children, family,
interpersonal relationships, as well as persecutions and insults faced amidst ministry

3) Always receive the grace that is manifested through Christ and His fellowship
- Always receive Christ’s message, help one another, intercede for each other, co-work with one another,
testify to one another, expand interpersonal connections

4) Love the glorious and limited time given us on earth, in all things learn from Christ’s example, receive the
most wonderful evidences, preach Christ’s gospel in and out of season, receive the most beautiful inheritance
- See the fulfilment of the promise in all our days on earth <Ac 1:8, Isa 60:1-22>

Closing Words

Prayer topics for this week:

1) All the holy people who belong to Christ should accept the [sacred mission], and take part in the
[wonderful spiritual battle]: Today, what is the lifetime mission God has prepared for me and my
descendants (spiritual descendants)? What stage has it reached now? Where are my battles everyday? Are
those battles for the growth of Christ’s body (for the church, for filling up in my flesh what is still lacking in
regard to Christ’s afflictions)?

2) Every believer shall not escape the [mission] and [battle], and should not compromise with the devil (flesh,
world). To escape or compromise cannot bring us [peace], but will in fact cause us to face greater attacks
(like how Goliath went against Israel, like how King Assyria went against King Hezekiah). The Bible teaches us:
[Resist the devil and he will flee from you] <Jam 4:7>: What experience do I have with regard to this
mystery? (In small group meetings, testify to one another and encourage everyone).

3) The battle of saints is a battle with guaranteed eternal victory. And the mystery of fighting the battle itself
lies in [relying on Christ]: Have I received the absolute answers of Christ in my perspective towards death,
illnesses, possessions, fame, children, family, interpersonal relationships, and ministry? How is my relationship
with the fellowship that belong to the Lord, how do I complement my gifts and talents with the fellowship and
how do I share the inheritance with them? Reflect: Through the fellowship of Christ, what are the grace I
have received?
