Casting out demons
Casting out demons is a very simple process. It is a matter of knowing and exercising your authority through Christ in faith, and commanding the demons to come out of the person. You may command them by name, or more generally such as, "I command the demonic spirit behind this bondage to come out in Jesus' name!" If you know the demon's name, then I would recommend using it as they seem to respond and take instructions better than if you address them by name. Jesus cast out demons both by name, and by simply calling out the unclean spirit:
Mark 9:25, "When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him."
Mark 5:8, "For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."
And then there was a time when a demon was manifesting and Jesus commanded it to come out, without even referring to it as an unclean spirit... Jesus simply talked to it just as one person would talk to another:
Luke 4:33-35, "And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not."
The actual principal of casting out demons is very simple and strait forward. The basic requirement is that you are a Christian, you know the authority you have in Christ over those spirits, and that you are prepared to exercise your authority through faith. It's that simple!
Demon groupings are also something to keep an eye out for, as in most cases of deliverance there are more than one spirit that must be addressed. For example, a person may have a spirit of anger, but also spirits of hate and rage that are also in that person. Be on guard for the doorkeeper, or the spirit that may have let the other ones in. For example, a person may have been angered one time, which opened them up to a spirit of anger, then that spirit worked the person up to hate somebody (which welcomed a spirit of hate), then the person began to think of how they can get revenge on that person (thus welcoming a spirit of rage). It is important to be on guard for related spirits when doing deliverance. For example, if I found a spirit of murder, I would also keep an eye out for spirits of anger, hate and rage.
