Demoniacal Possession
Acts 19:13-16
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took on them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying…


I. THERE ARE POWERS OF DEMON EVIL WIDELY DIFFUSED AND CEASELESSLY ACTIVE. Look at —

1. Idolatry.

2. Superstition.

3. Infidelity.

4. Dissipation.

II. THERE ARE EXPEDIENTS FORMED TO COUNTERACT AND DEPOSE THEM, WHICH ONLY PROVOKE THEIR CONTEMPT.

1. Education.

2. Legislation.

3. Art.

4. Science.

III. NEVERTHELESS, MEANS OF RESISTING THEM EXIST WHICH THEY COMPREHEND AND DREAD.

(R. W. Hamilton, D. D.)
