(KJV) Mark 3:15
And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
AUTHORITY TO DRIVE OUT DEMONS / MARK 3:15
Driving out demons means commanding evil spirits to come out of people whose bodies they have inhabited and to release their control over these individuals’ lives. In coming to earth, Jesus’ purpose was to destroy the works of the devil (Mark 1:27; 1 John 3:8) and release those oppressed and enslaved by Satan and sin (Luke 4:18). Jesus gave His followers His power and authority to continue His battle against the forces of darkness. This truth is verified by the following observations.
1. After Jesus appointed the twelve disciples, He gave them “authority to drive out demons” (Mark 3:14-15; Matthew 10:1). After He appointed the seventy-wo, He gave them “authority … to overcome all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:1, 17-19; Matthew 10:1-8; Mark 6:7, 13).
2. The disciples were not only to go out and preach (Mark 3:14; Matthew 10:7), but also to display the power and authority of God’s kingdom by doing battle against Satan, driving out demons and healing every kind of disease and sickness (Matthew 10:1-7).
3. Mark teaches that after His resurrection, Jesus reminded His disciples again to preach His message and exercise their God-given authority over Satan and his demons.
