In My Name You Will Cast Out Demons
Mark 16:17 (NKJV) "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues."

There is Authority in the Name of Jesus
Luke 10:19 (NKJV)
"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
As believers, Jesus has given us authority over every form of evil. His name carries power, and through it, we can overcome every spiritual force that stands against us.
My first encounter with casting out a demon happened when I was about 16 years old. I was with a couple of friends, playing my guitar and singing a song called “Take My Healing to the Nations.” While singing, I looked to my right and saw that one of my friends, who was sitting on the couch next to me, was manifesting a demon. His eyes had rolled back into his head, and his hands were clenched like claws. The demon had taken control of his physical senses.
Another friend from school was with us, and together, we began to pray for him, commanding the demon to come out in Jesus' name. We didn’t fully know what we were doing, but we knew enough to declare, "In Jesus' name, we command you to come out!" We prayed for about twenty minutes until he returned to normal. He was delivered from a spirit of witchcraft that had entered his life through involvement in occultic activities.
There is deliverance power in the name of Jesus, and when you call upon His name, He will come and set people free from every demonic spirit that seeks to attach itself to their lives. Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered! (Romans 10:13)
The Power of His Name
Philippians 2:9-10 (NKJV)
"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth."
The name of Jesus holds supreme authority. When we use His name in faith, demons must flee, and every force of darkness must submit. There is no greater name in heaven or on earth.
