The Triumphant Church
command an evil spirit to come out, and it doesn't come
out, then you need to ask the evil spirit his name or the
number of evil spirits involved. That is the only case in
which Jesus spoke further to an evil spirit—and it was
only to demand its name (Mark 5:9).
In the vision, I commanded the evil spirit in the
man to be quiet in the Name of Jesus. On the inside of
me I knew by revelation of the Holy Spirit what kind of
evil spirit was possessing the man and talking to me. It
was a deceiving spirit. So I said, "You foul deceiving
spirit, I command you to come out of this man in the
Name of Jesus." Nothing happened; the evil spirit didn't
come out.
Then in the vision Jesus emphasized again to me,
"When you know the kind of evil spirit it is, and it still
doesn't come out, then you need to know its number."
So in the vision, I asked the evil spirit possessing the
man, "What is your name or number?" Deceiving wasn't
the name of the spirit; it was just its kind.
The evil spirit in the man answered, "There are
nineteen more in here besides me." Once I found out its
number, that's all I needed to know. I said, "I command
you and all nineteen others to come out of the man in
the Name of Jesus." Then in the realm of the spirit, I
saw those evil spirits leave the man.
Where Do Evil Spirits Go When Cast
Out?
You remember in Mark 5:13, the devils went into
the swine and the swine ran off the cliff and perished in
the sea. The Bible also says evil spirits “... besought him
[Jesus] that he would not command them to go out into
the deep" (Luke 8:31).
