Luke 11:14-26
About the next group of questions
Here we read about who has power over Satan and demons. We also learn about our need for God to fill us with the Holy Spirit.
Pray
Ask God to protect you as you study about Satan.
11:14 How did the demon affect the man that he was in? What happened to the man when Jesus threw the demon out of him?
11:15 By whose power did the people say that Jesus was driving out the demon? Who is Beelzebub?
11:16 How did some of the people try to test Jesus?
11:17 In some families, there may be groups that are fighting each other. What happens to a family like that?
11:18 What would happen if Satan’s kingdom was like those families?
11:19 Were Jews also able to drive out demons?
11:20 How did Jesus drive out demons? What happened because Jesus drove out demons?
11:21 What happens when a strong man guards his own house?
11:22 What happens if a man with more strength attacks his house?
11:23 What does Jesus say about a person who is not helping him?
11:24 What happens to a demon when it leaves a person?
11:26 Perhaps a demon may return to someone whom God has not filled with the Holy Spirit. What will happen then?
Final remarks
Satan can send demons into people, but Jesus is more powerful. Jesus has authority over Satan and he has given his authority to his followers. When God has filled us with his Holy Spirit, then we are free from the power of Satan. Jesus is stronger. Jesus is Lord over all.
Pray
Lord Jesus, I know that you are stronger than Satan and all his evil deeds. Satan may use evil people to frighten me or to try to make me do evil deeds. But you are stronger than those evil people. Fill me again with your Holy Spirit so that I too am able to stand against Satan’s attacks. Amen.
