The following excerpts on dealing with evil spirits is from Kenneth Hagin's book 'The Triumphant Church' :
"I asked Jesus, "Lord, how do I deal with the evil spirit in this woman?" The Lord answered, "You just simply say, You foul spirit that is operating and manifesting yourself in the life of ______________ (and Jesus called the woman's name), I command you to stop in your operations. I command you to cease and desist in your
maneuvers, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
I said, "Is that all I have to do?" I thought perhaps I would have to prepare myself and get ready or some big battle or something.
Sometimes because of our religious teaching, we think we have to pray for a week before we can exercise our authority over the devil. Or we think maybe we ought to fast several meals before we could attempt to deal with the devil.
But our authority over the devil is in Jesus' Name based on our rights and privileges in Christ. Our authority over the devil doesn't depend on how long we pray and fast, but we do need to know who we are in Christ. On the other hand, praying and fasting will help make us more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus replied, "That's all you do." "Yes, but, Lord, she's in another state and I'm here," I protested. The
Lord replied, "There's no distance in the spirit realm. You can command a devil to stop harassing, intimidating, or deterring someone who is in another state, and he'll have to stop in his operations against
the person.""
