Divine Healing Bible Lessons King James Version
LESSON No. 8 ~ KJV
This Lesson is a continuation of Jesus’ ministry and deals with an area of the healing ministry that is not generally understood by many Christians. It is the ministry of casting out evil spirits. Jesus brought deliverance to sick and infirm people by casting out evil spirits that were possessing them. We have already seen in Lesson No 4 (Matthew 9:32-34) and Lesson 6 (Luke 13:10-17) how evil spirits caused a man to be dumb and a woman to be infirm and bent over. JESUS IS MASTER over evil spirits! Please answer all questions from the Scriptures with the consciousness that Jesus’ blood is your Divine protection. Amen

27. Verse 36 tells us “how the demon possessed man had _______________________________________.”
Matthew 8:28-34 tells us there were two men possessed living in the tombs; they were exceeding fierce – so much so that people were frightened to go near them. Mark 5:1-20 records that Legion was night and day crying and cutting himself. His physical body was in a real mess because of the influence of evil spirits – unclean spirits. But at the Word and command of Jesus the man’s life was completely changed. He became a living testimony of the Gospel and “began to proclaim all that Jesus had done for him: and all marveled” (Mark 5:20).
Because this Lesson has been on two instances in the ministry of Jesus where unclean spirits possessed people, let not the reader think that every case of sickness and disease is the result of spirits. We must be wise and discerning in our judging of “reasons” for physical afflictions and must at all times seek to walk close to the Master Himself, Jesus Christ. A word of advice would be: DON’T stir up troubles that you are unable to handle! If in doubt, consult your minister, elders or mature men of God for further instructions. Walk continually under the protection of Jesus’ blood; otherwise Satan will make a mockery of you and frustrate and defeat you. This brings no glory to God.
