This is a wonderful healing ministry of Jesus that any of us can do with a little training and practice. Billions of people need this. You could help them! No doctor or scientist could do what a Christian can do to deliver people from demons that make them miserable. What a privilege to imitate Jesus in this ministry of His! The sermon slides are below.
Also, here are some really good video's the Lord led me to on YouTube where a guy confronts demons in people on the street while preaching. He delivers one guy on camera ( The guy spits up a little. sometimes happens when a demon comes out--not too gross).
I recommend you watch these to get a quick overview of what happens when demons feel threatened and when we shine the light of jesus on them to set people free.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN9-zvDLO1E Here an obviously demonized man threatens the preacher. Demons only do that when they are really scared of us.

2. Two Kingdoms
Two Purposes
John 10:10: “The thief comes only
to steal and kill and destroy;
I came that they may have life, and
have it abundantly.”
3. The Deliverance Ministry
of Jesus
“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the
works of the devil.( 1 John 3:8)”
!
Is. 61:1: Jesus came to “to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners…”
!
Acts 10:38: “He {Jesus} went about doing good and healing
all who were oppressed by the devil…”
!
A major part of the ministry of Jesus was to cast demons out
of or away from people. No one in the Bible did more
deliverance from demons than Jesus—obeying the Father!

Twelve ( Luke 22:3)”
Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham,
whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be
set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her? (Luke
13:16)”
8. Christians Need
