MEMORISE: When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: Matthew 8:16

READ: Mark 5:2-15 Open Heavens 31 March 2026

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked him, what is thy name? And he answered, saying, my name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand; ) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 28-31

MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 31 March 2026 Tuesday Daily Devotional

Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the word of God is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. In today’s Bible reading, Jesus spoke a word to a man who was possessed by a legion of demons, and immediately, the demons left him. In Acts 16:16-18, Paul did likewise. When a girl who was possessed with a spirit of divination kept following him, he commanded the demon to come out of her in the name of Jesus, and it obeyed. Your words can also carry power when they are backed up by the word of the Almighty God.

If you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ, demons will recognize who you are and be afraid of you because they know that you have the power to cast them out. In Acts 19:13-17, the seven sons of Sceva saw a demon- possessed man, and they commanded the demon to leave him in the name of Jesus whom Paul preached. The demon knew that they had no relationship with Jesus, so it disobeyed and attacked them. The devil knows that Jesus is the Light and that He has also made His children light. This is why he will obey you if you are a true disciple of Jesus Christ.

A young man once attended a meeting and returned home loaded with demons. His case was so bad that he couldn’t stand or sit; he could only lie on the floor. When he was brought to the church, I said, “I command you to kneel because I want to pray for you.” With a fiery look, he responded, “I can’t go on my knees.” I repeated my command, and he asked, “In whose name?” I replied, In the name of Jesus.” He obeyed immediately, and I prayed for him. Then, I said, “Stand up,” and he asked again, “In whose name?” I replied, “In the name of Jesus.” He then stood up immediately. Thereafter, I told him, “Go now. You are free in the name of Jesus.” He left, and that was the end of his problem.

Beloved, if you are a child of God, your words will be backed by the power in His word. When you tell a problem to leave in the name of Jesus, it has no choice but to obey you. Be conscious of the power in God’s word, exercise your authority in it by speaking it boldly in the face of challenges and oppositions, and you will always emerge victorious.

2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have doubted the power of Your word, spoken words of fear instead of faith, or failed to exercise the authority You have given me, in Jesus’ name.

3. Father, let Your word be alive and active in my mouth. When I speak, let demons recognize the authority of Christ in me and obey, in Jesus’ name.

4. Lord, just as You cast out the legion of demons with a word, give me the faith and boldness to command every contrary situation—sickness, poverty, stagnation, and oppression—to bow to the name of Jesus, in Jesus’ name.

5. Father, I receive the grace to be a true disciple of Jesus, one whom demons recognize and obey because of my relationship with You, in Jesus’ name.

6. Lord, deliver me from being like the seven sons of Sceva—using Your name without a genuine relationship with You. Let my life be so rooted in You that demons tremble at my voice, in Jesus’ name.

7. Father, fill my mouth with Your word. Let every word I speak in faith be backed by the power of the Almighty God, bringing deliverance, healing, and victory, in Jesus’ name.
