Luther Always Taught the Efficacy of the Word. The Pan-Lutheran Synodical Corporation (ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC sic) Never Does

The Book of Concord, too!
Graduates of the Lutheran Seminary Franchise - ask for your money back. They taught what Luther did not, replacing sound doctrine with what Luther and Holy Spirit opposed.
Hint - NIV.


“We are to learn from this report of the casting out of a devil the most consoling truth that Christ is the Lord over the devil and his realm; and, further, that this work, then begun in the body, did not terminate, but still continues in the Church of Christ, and will continue until the judgment day.
For the accomplishment of this work Christ has instituted the necessary means; namely, Holy Baptism, the Lord’s Supper, the Word and Absolution, also other offices pertaining to the ministry, whereby the devil is to be cast out from the people, so that they may become free from his thralldom and that his kingdom may be destroyed.


For it is plainly written in this respect: Verbum meum non redibit vacuum – My Word shall not return void. As the rain which falls upon dry land produces vegetation and blossoms, thus does the Word of God, most assuredly, produce fruit in some hearts. The Holy Spirit is connected with the Word to illumine, incite and purify the hearts, that they may be set free from the tyranny and oppression of the devil.
Luther. House Postil. Oculi. Luke 11:14-28

 Yes, yes. Building and correcting, like UOJ and Church Growth.
