Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Matthew emphasizes that this gift to exercise demons was given to these 12 along with another couple of select people that are named later.

Now here's the real question.

Has God extended that gift to people in the church today?

And if so, why don't we perform more exorcisms in the church today?

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Since the Garden of Eden, Satan's been working overtime to bring down believers using tactics like fear and doubt and temptation.

But can Satan's influence really take such a serious hold that exorcism is the only remedy?

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress considers whether exorcism is still a valid and necessary spiritual gift.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress, thanks David and welcome to the Friday edition of Pathway to Victory.

Well, this coming Monday will be the final day in the Divine Defense series, which means it's almost your last opportunity to get in touch with Pathway to Victory.

And request a copy of my book on this important topic. It's called The Divine Defense.

Six simple strategies for winning your biggest battles. My book comes with my thanks for your generous gift to Pathway to Victory.

Let me add a quick word about the importance of your generosity with Pathway to Victory.

We are living in dark and ominous times.

Just about the time we think we're gaining ground on the enemy, such as our recent reprieve from the Supreme Court, something happens to set us back.

Friends, our enemy, the devil, is definitely on the prowl.

Greatfully you and I know how the story ends. In the end, God wins, and we need not walk in fear.

Well, when you give a generous gift to Pathway to Victory, you're allowing us to teach men and women all across our country and around the world how to walk in the light of God's truth, rather than in darkness.

We'll give our contact information at the close of today's message, so be ready to jot that down.

But right now, let's turn in our Bibles to Luke chapter 4. Today we're talking about exercising power without exercising demons.
