Full of The Holy Spirit
"The Holy Spirit is not forcefully making people accept Him, but the kingdom of God is advancing, and the demons are being driven out. The Holy Spirit does not want anything to do with these demonic spirits."

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. —Matthew 12:28 (KJV)
DISCUSSION:
It is so vital in these last days to be full of the Holy Spirit and full of His oil, just like the wise virgins. Being full of the Spirit means that you're going to be full of the Word of God and the will of God. You're going to be full of the understanding and discernment of God. Every ready person has oil in their lamps and trimmed wicks so that the light is brightly defined. The oil is the Holy Spirit and within the Spirit of God is everything you need. There's something about the anointing oil that many people don't talk about, and that is that the spirit anointed Jesus. The Holy Spirit came upon Him. Jesus came as a man, and John the Baptist had to baptize Him. The Holy Spirit anointed Him to preach the good news. Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah, which said that He was anointed. He said the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news, to proclaim Jubilee and to drive out devils, to heal the sick and raise the dead. All these things that Jesus said and did were from the heart of the Father.
THE HOLY SPIRIT’S ANOINTING DRIVES OUT DEVILS
The first time I ever drove out a devil, I felt this surge beyond anything that I could explain. I felt the Holy Spirit come up within me. It was earth-shaking. It was a power like I've never felt before. It felt like if you take the full authority of God and the full power of God and put them together. My eyes started burning, and it caused this man’s eyes to become snake eyes. I could see entities inside. He became just like a screen that projected what was inside of him. His face and His voice changed. Multiple people were talking to me. I started praying in tongues and building myself up to yield to the spirit of God. The power of God drove out the spirits. When doing this, you forcefully push a dark entity out with the intent of doing damage. A boldness came out of me to speak to him and ask him what he had done to let the devil into his life. Then the actual entity came up.
• There are demons and angels all around you.
• Wars and battles are going on around you.
• Some people are fighting for their life.
• They’re fighting to resist the devil, and the devil is trying to overpower them.
• The devil is trying to break through to their lives, into souls, minds, and bodies, and you’ll have to stop that.
• When you yield to the Holy Spirit, His spirit will come upon you.
• When the spirit of truth comes upon you or comes up from within you, the truth will confront the lie, and light will face the darkness.
• The Holy Spirit of truth is strong, and He will manifest Himself through you to drive out evil. He will want to drive out the devil.
• Jesus was who He was because He yielded to the spirit. He was very bold.
• Jesus wouldn’t have been asked back to many churches because the devils would leave people when He was around. Paul wasn’t invited back to many churches for the same reason.
How does the Holy Spirit cause boldness to rise up within you to defeat the enemy?
THE DEMONS FEAR GOD TAKING OVER
The demons in a girl who was a witch feared Paul when he taught the message of Jesus Christ because they knew the authority he had over them. The demons were trying to figure out how to manage the situation because Paul could take over the whole territory. He was driving out devils everywhere he went. The devils thought they could become his advertising agency and walk behind him, and he wouldn’t be able to discern or cast them out.
The demons were hoping to merge with Paul and stay with him so that the city he was in would think they were of the same team. Paul caught on and cast the demons out of the girl. Everyone was mad at Paul because of what he did, and now the city would lose their revenue through her. They were making a lot of money from her, so they wanted to drive him out and kill him when it hit their pocketbook. He was not allowed back there. The same thing happened with Jesus. The Pharisees were trying to control Jesus, and they didn’t want Him around because He was driving out devils everywhere He went. When Lazarus, who was dead for four days, came back to life and was walking around, they thought, “what can we do, because there's no way we can control Jesus.” Now the people will all go to Him, and we're going to lose all of our money. We're going to lose our interest in the temple, our religion. They're going to follow Jesus, and that’s when they planned to kill Lazarus and Jesus —to get rid of the evidence and the person who is working the miracles.

There was a man that was sitting in a synagogue. Everything had been fine. He had been there every week according to scripture, but then Jesus showed up, and all of a sudden, the demons start manifesting because Jesus is there. He then has to cast the devils out of that person.
How long has a devil been sitting comfortably in a person in the church until confronted? The Holy Spirit wants to confront this situation because He is enforcing the Kingdom of God; its light, truth, and goodness.
A KINGDOM DIVIDED
Matthew 12:26-28 (NKJV): If satan casts out satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
The Pharisees accused Jesus of being the head demon. They said You cast out the devils by the devil, and Jesus said, well, that doesn't work because that would mean he's over. After all, his kingdom is divided. But if I, on the other hand, drive out devils by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. When He said the finger of God, He was referring to the finger of God that wrote the Ten Commandments. Moses received the tablets on the mountain with the Ten Commandments, and it says the finger of God wrote them.
The Pharisees freaked out because He was claiming to be the same God that gave them the commandments. Jesus said, if I drive out devils by the finger of God, by the power of God, the spirit of God, then the end of satan's kingdom has come. • The same spirit that rose Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you. That spirit is the power of God.
• If that's how you drive out devils, then the end of satan's kingdom has come.
• Jesus came to drive out devils. According to what Jesus is saying here in this verse, the Holy Spirit drove them out.
Luke 4:41 (NKJV): And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.
• The demons knew that Jesus was the anointed one.
• The Holy Spirit anointed Jesus of Nazareth, and He went around doing good and healing everyone that was oppressed of the devil. (see Acts 10:38).
• The demons shouted while coming out of the people saying, you are the Messiah, the son of El Shaddai. Jesus rebuked them and commanded them to be silent. He didn't want their testimony; He didn't want them to testify about Him.
• Not only are you born again if you're a Christian and you believe in Jesus Christ that He rose from the dead, and you confess it with your mouth that what you believe in your heart, you shall be saved, but you are anointed to cast out devils and to heal the sick.
• It says in all the Gospels that the believing ones —these signs will follow them. (see Mark 16:17)
• There is a fundamental disconnect between what we're called to, who we are and how we see people.
• Have we embraced Jesus as a person, or have we just mentally agreed with Him?
• The Holy Spirit is Holy and is God Himself. He wants to push forth the truth into people's lives.
• He's not forcefully making people accept Him, but the kingdom of God is advancing, and the demons are being driven out.
• The Holy Spirit does not want anything to do with these demonic spirits. He can't live where they live. Therefore, He's constantly checking and confronting them.
1. Talk about how we tolerate a lot of things that the Holy Spirit doesn't. Maybe it's time to put your foot down and say; you know what, not in my house, not in my neighborhood, not in my region.
2. Have we embraced Jesus as a person, or do we mentally agree with Him?
PRAYER:
Father, I thank you that we have boldness, and we have not only discernment from heaven but that our eyes are open. We understand. We have boldness to proclaim your Kingdom, to proclaim the deliverance of the captives, and we are anointed. We are set apart to do the work of Jesus and even greater works. And I thank you, and I receive this for all of our friends all over the world. Thank you for the Warrior Students, the Warrior Disciples. Thank you, Lord, for Warrior Fellowship. And I thank you, Lord, that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ shall prevail and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it in Jesus name.
