# Know Jesus and Drive Out Demons

### Divised Version Preface

   The spiritual issues that the Bible constantly mentions and teaches should not be left ignored. Jesus cast out demons from the day that He preached the Gospel. He also gave the authority to His disciples to overpower them. We must obey the words of the Lord when He said, “He who believes in Me… In my name they will cast out demons…” (Mark 16:16-17).

   Because the Bible explains much about casting out demons, this book resolutely holds to the claim above without complying to the last 45 years of much persecutions, misunderstandings and maltreatments due to our stance on this subject. There would be much spiritual catastrophe at the end if the Bible and its teachings were ignored because of compliance to theological doctrines.

   Demons are not conceptual, but real spiritual beings; they should not be overlooked. The words of the Lord Jesus should not be forgotten when He said, “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you” (Matt. 12:28). Saints possess the great powers of God, but they have forfeited them because of their negligence of the spiritual issues taught in the Bible. Without God’s power, it is impossible to overcome this evil world.

   For a much greater understanding to the readers, the omissions from the previous versions of this book were unearthed and supplemented in this version through meticulous examination of my past sermons and seminars. To complete the arduous task and finally submit this revised version, Evangelist Ki Taek Lee has given his undying efforts to comprehensively verify and supplement the materials.

   There is a need for saints to become experts in the issue of demons. My desire for all readers is that they would humble read the Bible, learn, verify and execute what they learn so that they would definitely become powerful saints. I also thank Berea Press for their efforts.

### PREFACE 1

   I am delighted to have released the three volumes in the Demonology Series: *What is the Devil? (I), What are Deceiving Spirits? (II),* and *What are Demons? (III).* People often use the word *Devil*, but not so much the word *demon*. However, the Bible makes many more references to the word *demon* than the words *Devil* or *Satan*.

   The operations of the Devil, deceiving spirits, and demons are all different from one another; even their identities are different. Nonetheless, many people confuse their works and fall into foolishness and ignorance. The Devil, deceiving spirits, and demons desire to hide their identities. To them, their exposure means their eradication.

  The Devil is the spirit that originally fell from Heaven to Hades. As the spirit that holds the authority of the air, he constantly travels (Job 1:6) between God and man to cause division (Rev. 12:9). Deceiving spirits are some of the angels that were sent to help the saints but now have turned (1 Kings 22:10-23). Demons are spirits that cause the curses and sufferings that we all experience.

   As Christians, rather than slandering those who know what we do not know, we should be thankful that others have discovered important truths and praise God for His great authority bestowed on us. Knowing the enemy is the road to victory. The sad reality is that rather than discerning the enemy, many are giving him the opportunities to take advantage of them.

   If anyone reads this book and implements the principles, the signs of the Lord will definitely follow them and the demons will leave screaming in fear.

   “O Lord! Rather than slandering one another, help us to be humble and understand one another so that we may possess the power to overcome the enemy. Let your great power be upon those who read this book. Wherever the Gospel is preached, let the enemy be annihilated! Amen.”
