Have you ever commanded a demon to depart/leave a born again demonized Christian?
It sounds like you have had some good results commanding (with prayer) a demon to leave a demonized person that has been inflicted with a disease, illness, addiction, bad habit, or some malady and was completely set free.
Have you come to the conclusion that when you say, "I command you ..." that the demon almost immediately leaves; whereas, before it might have taken you longer to see a person delivered from demonic activity.
I know this question was for Scott,pardon the intrusion.
A born again Christian cannot be possessed only oppressed.
We are a new creature in Christ,we become the sons of God due to the dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians: 4. 6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Sickness and affliction are not always from demonic attack.
Sickness and affliction were the consequences of sin and the curses that sin brought under the law.
We live in a sin cursed earth but have been redeemed from the curse of the law.
Galatians: 3. 1. O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2. This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3. Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4. Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6. Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Healing is a spiritual right by faith,when affliction attacks us we have spiritual authority to deny its right to our bodies,our healing has already been done Christ took on the burden of
The curse in the atonement of our sin.
