(1) The minister must recognize that authority delegated to him in the name of Jesus.
Jesus himself said. “In my name shall they cast out demons.’ In Luke 10:17 we read, “ The seventy returned with joy saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us through thy name.” In Acts 16:18, when Paul spoke to the spirit of divination in the damsel of Philippi, he said “I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.”
