Matthew 9:32-34 32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. This person had been possessed of a devil. The devil spirit inside him would not let him speak. When a devil spirit controls a person, he is totally under the control of the evil spirit. This man was helpless, until Jesus came along and freed him. As we studied before, these spirits of demons, or devils, are under Jesus. When He commands them to go, they must obey. What a glorious thing to see anyone delivered from a devil spirit, but to see one who was dumb released to speak, was even more glorious. The multitudes realized this was no ordinary happening. Jesus had super natural power. “Prince of the devils”... The Pharisees had seen enough of Jesus’ power to know it was God’s power. But, in their willful unbelief, they said His was the power of Satan. Just as many churches today proclaim casting out devils is not of God. So did the religion of that day. Churches have a tendency to believe that anything not active in their particular church is not of God, even though it is prominent in the Bible.
