There was a time in my life when I would "bind and fight the devil every day." The major result of that was that I would also have to use the church's carpet cleaner extensively after every service. No kidding... we had this big commercial quality rug sucker and every time we went for the "binding and loosing" stuff we would have vomit and other fluids that had to be cleaned up afterward. A lot of it sometimes.
The shamans of Central America trained their adherents well in the use of fear and torment. When we came against that with our own shamanistic techniques - well, ol' Brother Pelathais would have to spend a lot of time afterward dragging out the rug sucker.
How much better it is to work in the power of the Holy Ghost! People don't suffer as much and there's no messy clean up afterward. The Holy Spirit is a civilizing and educating factor, in addition to His many other wonderful attributes. People are free and in their right minds afterward and not shaking and trembling like they are still bound by fear.
Let the Bob Larsons of the world do the Ringling Bros. type of side shows and carnival. And let the real church of Jesus Christ live in victory.

[19] He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
[20] And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,
straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming
