Like Mufasa having the power to remove the hyenas, the Savior Jesus Christ can remove devils. Matthew 17:18 "And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him and the child was cured from that very hour." This is and instance of Christ's power over the devil. We can still find other accounts of His disciples casting out the devils in His name. One being named Nephi does so. 3 Nephi 7:19 "And in the name of Jesus did he cast our devils and unclean spirits;"
This is a pretty unique aspect of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Those who hold the priesthood authority can, by the power of the Savior, Jesus Christ, and Heavenly Father, command and evil spirit to leave. Though there are those who would profess and claim they can as illustrated by the Savior, Himself. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.'
"Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in they name, and in they name have cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works?'
"And then will I profess unto them:I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (3 Nephi 14:21-23) We can find the connecting and Identical Scripture int he Bible as Matthew 7:21-23. In a wordl where almost anything can be fabricated we must be careful and aware of the danger. WE must continually be looking to god and Jesus Christ for our salvation and protection.
Much like Simba and Nala looked to Mufasa for their own safety.
