Legion - P8 - True and False Spiritual Warfare
True and False Spiritual Warfare - Bob DeWaay • 31m
Jeremiah Johnson uses the Legion narrative in Luke 8 to claim that demons lose power when we call them out by name and that we need to know the names of demons to control the spirit world. This is false spiritual warfare based on pagan beliefs. In this program we refute his teaching by taking a close look at that passage. Luke was not telling us that we need to know the names of demons or that we can have that power over demons; he was showing that Jesus has power over the things that people fear. Jesus has authority over the spirit world and He is the one who can transfer us out of the domain of darkness and bring us into His kingdom. We do not need to know the names of demons; we need to repent and believe the gospel and preach the gospel to others.
