Jesus Commands the Unclean Spirits

Anointed with the Spirit, Jesus launches into his public ministry, astounding the crowds with both the authority of his teaching and the authority he had to cast out unclean spirits. Indeed, setting people free from ignorance and from oppression and enslavement by wicked spiritual forces were among the prominent accomplishments of Christ's Messianic ministry. As the resurrected Lord, he continues by his Word and Spirit to instruct his people and deliver them from the evil powers of the universe.
