Demonic History & The Rites of Exorcism

Appendix C: The Promises of Christ

acing the exorcist, the Christian in general, is an army of darkness much more powerful, intelligent and experienced than the human agent. Against this array, the warrior of Heaven has but one advantage. The promises of Yahweh in Christ are “Yea” and “Amen.” (2 Corinthians 1:20) He says of Himself, “So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, but It shall accomplish that which I please, and It shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent It.” (Isaiah 55:11)

The following is a list of some of the most powerful promises Yahweh has given to His people for holding them in purity and faith in the face of temptations, possessions and sin:

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Mat 23:12, 13)

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” (Ezek 36:26 - see also 18:31 & Psa 51:10)

“And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you: and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” (Ezek 11:19, 20)

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” (1 John 5:4)

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank Yah through Yahshua the Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Yahshua, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Yahshua hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Rom 6:1, 2; 7:24, 25; 8:1, 2)

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Gal 5:16, 25)

“If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.” (Isa 7:9b)

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Yah, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” (Gal 2:20)

“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law*. And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.” (1 John 3:3-6 – *anomia: lawlessness)

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might* not sin against thee. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.” (Psa 119:11,67 – *lo echatah: – I will sin not)

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psa 103:12)

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Cor 3:18)

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with Elohim. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared Elohim, and eschewed evil.” (Mat 5:48, Gen 6:9b, Job 1:1)

“And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” (Eph 4:11 - 14)

“All scripture is given by inspiration of Yah, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of

[157]

Yah may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Tim 3:16, 17)

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the El Shaddai; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” (Gen 17:1)

“Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.” (2 Cor 13:11)

“Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect*: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Yahshua. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Yahshua. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect**, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, Yah shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.” (Phl 3:12 - 17 – *teleioo: completed, finished; **teleios: lacking nothing, perfect up to its expected level)

“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4)

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Yahshua, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Yahshua the Messiah; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (Heb 13:20, 21)

“Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Yahshua the Christ. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full

[158]

corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” (Phl 1:6; Mark 4:28, 29)

“And He said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Yahshua. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, ‘Lord, save me.’ And immediately Yahshua stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said unto him, ‘O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?’ And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.” (Mat 14:29 - 32)

“For therein is the righteousness of Yah revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’ Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” (Rom 1:17, Heb 10:38)

“And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, ‘Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before Elohim until this day. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost.’” (Acts 23:1, Rom 9:1)

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Phl 4:11 - 13)

“‘Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba’al, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations?’ Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it,’ saith Yahweh.

[159]

‘But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.’” (Jer 7:8 - 15)

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of Yah, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (1 Pet 1:22, 23)
