Casting Out

God taught Adam and Eve they had the power to crush the head of the serpent, or Lucifer, even though he could bruise their heal. By calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, we can cast the devil out from our midst, out of our lives, as often as is needed.

Casting out Satan is as fundamental to Christianity as any other principal Jesus exemplified. We should be well-versed in recognizing the power we have been given to command him, "Get thee behind me, Satan!"

In this podcast, the author describes his learning about this principle, which is not only taught in the scriptures, but also in the temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is one of the most overlooked and underutilized aspects of Christian theology.
