The unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, would fall down and shout, "You are the Son of God!". But He warned them strongly not to make Him known
Mark 3:11-12

The Son of Man has power over evil spirits, for He is the Son of the Father, Lord and Creator of all things, and all authority is given Him in Heaven and earth. But the children of the Father must offer themselves to Him in love and trust, and not because of fear or acknowledgement of ultimate power. The world today shows much evidence of the presence and the present power of evil influence and sometimes of possession. Some of the Father's beloved children seek it for the power and self-gratification they believe it will bring them, others because they experience a vacuum (in their hearts and minds) and evil influence prevails. And sometimes the presence is so strong that it flows out into groups and even communities. Love is the antidote to all evil . No evil presence can withstand the power of My saving love. All who are at any time aware of an alien force in their heart, their presence or the company where they are, should call upon My Name Recall that My death on the Cross has put evil to flight for all who call upon its power. My love is stronger than any contagion of evil; by my cross and passion I have banished evil from the children of light. Problems and difficulties, sadness and a sense of loss there will necessarily be until the end of time for all the Father's beloved children. But all who live in Me will triumph through Me.
