So if this was of such importance to Jesus, where did this ministry go? Consider... Jesus cast demons out of children. If children are innocent in the eyes of God, then how could they have demons? It is not fair, but it is true, nonetheless. In one such encounter with a child who was grievously vexed with a demon, Jesus referred to the ministry of casting out demons as "the children's bread," (Matthew 15). The casting out demons is called "the children's bread" by Jesus Himself Jesus told the mother of the little girl that it was a ministry only for the children of God. Who are the children of the kingdom of God today? Can a Christian really have a demon? Like being possessed, in a movie? Of all the obstacles to the ministry of deliverance, this one issue has ruled supreme Most theologians who recoil at the thought of Christians having demons are basing on their opinion on mental images formed through watching Hollywood movies, not the Bible. Fear from watching movies is not a valid basis for rejecting the validity of a ministry initiated by Jesus. There was a high frequency and consistency in which Jesus engaged the enemy, through casting out demons, as seen in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Fear is always a tool of the enemy. Fear is what Satan uses to torment us. Fear is in itself demonic. Jesus' "Perfect love casts out fear." Most often, those who reject this ministry have never engaged a demon, ever Lack of knowledge of the enemy, his tactics and his strategies, is not a valid reason to reject a ministry initiated by Jesus But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Matt 12:28
