And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. Luke 6:18


Luke was a Greek physician, therefore it is natural for him to be interested in the work Jesus did to relieve human suffering. Since the time of Luke we have come to a greater understanding of not only physical ailments but psychological maladies. It is interesting that Luke tells us that Jesus healed the sick and cured those troubled with unclean spirits.


Over the years I have counseled scores of people who suffered from unclean spirits, many of them were cured by coming into contact by faith with Jesus. I’m not talking about demon spirits, rather about those subconscious foundations and attitudes that create “unclean” spirits of negativity, anger, depression, fear and feelings of inferiority.


Once we let the Great Physician cure us of these spirits then we are liberated to begin living lives of inner peace, joy, confidence and power. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
