This is as great and wonderful message. Authority doesn't beg; authority doesn't ask; authority orders! We are not told to request that God cast out demons, we are told to do it without anyone's help! We are not told to ask demons to turn out, we are told to CAST them out. Authority is exercised when there is a RIGHT to exercise it. They weren't supplicating and requesting that God heal individuals, they had the authority to heal , and they were doing it with a spoken word, similarly as Jesus did. Jesus has been given power over everything: Matthew 28:18, "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. When we have been given authority to cast out demons, however rather we pray that God brings the devil out rather, we are fundamentally requesting that God accomplish something that He gave US the tools to do ourselves! Jesus instructed US to cast out demons! No place in the Book of scriptures does it instruct us to request that God cast out demons. Thanks for sharing
