 Yeah, I wanted to go back to Acts 5. Ananias and Sapphira, the text that doesn't show that they were believers. In fact, verse three, but Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart? The word filled is plarao. It means to actually, what it says, to feel, completely feel. So how can Satan fill your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit in chapter five, verse three, but then they were filled with the Holy Spirit in chapter four. Chris. So you're asking me how were they filled with the Holy Spirit, but then they lied? I have a very good, is that what you're asking me? Yeah, according to the context in chapter four. Brother, there's a very good answer for that question. And that's because you're not filled with the Holy Spirit in your flesh. You're filled in the inner man. The Bible said, he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit, not flesh. So the spirit wars against the flesh. So how could they be filled with the Holy Ghost and then lie? The same way all of us who were ever filled with the Holy Ghost and lied were, because let God be true and every man a liar, the tongue is an unruly beast, no man containment. So that's how they lied because they're not, they're not born again. You're not born again in your flesh people. This is the misconception of people who think that Christians can't have demons in the flesh dwells no good thing. Brother Seiko, am I pronouncing that right, Seiko? Yep, correct. Yes, thank you. Yeah. Brother Seiko is saying the Holy Ghost fills your entire vessel. It doesn't, because I know Brother Seiko knows the Holy Spirit's a good thing. So he would, he cannot confess it's in his flesh. Brother Seiko, does the Holy Spirit fill your flesh? Yes or no? Of course not. The flesh didn't get saved. Then you have the answer to your thank you, brother. But you didn't answer my question. That's how they lied. They obeyed their flesh, brother. Brother, they obeyed their flesh. Chris, can we get back to this text real quick? Because you're moving. Come back. Chapter four. Let me go back. Chapter two. We're Ananias and Sapphira in chapter two. Chapter two of the Book of Acts. Of Acts. Yeah, the Day of Pentecost. Were they there? I don't recall. Do you believe they were there? If we read it, I'll give you my opinion, but I don't recall offhand. Okay. So put a record. You don't recall offhand that Ananias and Sapphira were there in chapter two. Right? Yeah. They, yeah. It seems like the same context. So are you saying they were there or they weren't there? From the, from the quick glance, I took over it because I don't read the Bible in chapters. I listened to it, so I don't know chapters well. So I listened to it without numbers. Okay. So in chapter two of Acts, Day of Pentecost, do you believe that Ananias and Sapphira were present when the Spirit came? I'm not going to give, I believe so by what I just saw, but I can't give you a definitive answer by chapter. Well, I mean, I kind of hope that you could give me some kind of answer. Well, if you, let's read it and I'll give you. So now you want me to read chapter two? If you want, look, if you want me to go by chapter and I listened to my Bible by audio and not with chapters. So do you remember, do you remember anything in chapter two of Acts when you were listening to it audibly where Ananias and Sapphira's name were mentioned? No. What about chapter three? Would the name be mentioned in chapter three? No. What about chapter four? Nope. So why are you saying that they were there? Because the end of chapter four described them because of what they did. Where, where does it describe them? Guys, I've read this so many times. He's still listening to it. You didn't read it. You said you listened to it. So I'm asking you, based on your recollection. I read it tonight to you where it describes them. Okay. So tell me where does and you just don't want to hear it because no, no, no, Chris, Chris, that's why I asked you the question. I said, in chapter two was Ananias and Sapphira there. You said, I don't think they, I'm not sure. I want to quote you correctly now. You said you weren't sure if they were there in chapter two, right? Oh, I'm definitely sure that they're there at the end that they're being described at the end of chapter four. Okay. So you're saying they were being described in chapter four? The end of chapter four is describing Ananias and Sapphira. And they're describing Ananias and Sapphira. Even though their name was not mentioned in chapter two. Then there you go right there, Chris. There you go right there. No, no, nice try. You're assuming, you're assuming that they were there. No, I'm not assuming. As a matter of fact, let's go back then. Nice try though, but I'm not assuming. Listen, listen, listen, listen, you're assuming that Ananias and Sapphira are the ones that are believers. But chapter five verse three, matter of fact, chapter five verse one says, but a man named Ananias with his wife Sapphira sold a piece of property and kept back some of the price for himself with his wife's full knowledge. But wait a minute. Chapter four, the Bible says that there was not a needy person among them for all who were owners of land and houses would sell them and pay and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles feet. Right. Did they do that? That's had need. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. You just proved my point. Did they do that? No, they kept back some of the proceeds. No, no, they sold their home and they laid the proceeds. They kept back some of the proceeds. They lied. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't. Because verse three tells us right here that they weren't, they weren't Christians. No, no, no. Why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit? So how can Satan feel the heart of a believer and the Holy Spirit feel the heart of a believer at the same time? A person that saw a lamb with this lamb and all of his glory, did he cloak it too? How much wool did he have? No, no, it was cloaked glory. I'd be dead. I'd be dead if it was full. Okay. And in the devil, if you saw that was actual dragon, red dragon, he was, he was also in your room as well too. Yeah. And you don't believe that's possible? No. Thank you.

According to what we've already discussed and the rules and regulations of this channel, which are, first and foremost, that you all notice in case you have forgotten, the BCV rule is in effect, any and all guests who make disrespectful and or dishonest comments in the chat and refuse to come up upon invitation and request and or request will be banned immediately. I will not go back and forth with you via verbal and text. It will have a face-to-face conversation should the need arise or desire for me to want to see your face. And so if you are in New Zealand with 0.6% of Black folk there and want to talk about how we as Black people over here talk and how we move and you don't want to show your grill or your mugshot, then you will be banned. And any other mob affiliates that choose to fire shots but don't want to show their face as cowards. But if you are so bold to do so and want to make disparaging or disrespectful comments and want to be a troll, then you're going to have to come up or you're going to shut up and be put out. Simple as that. All right, so as you heard and seen and witnessed, those were some of the highlights of yesterday's debate between myself and Chris Lasala. Never met him before. I only had the opportunity of speaking with him face to face on yesterday's live with Brother JP uncut. And personally, I believe it's just me. Not sure if my time was was spent wisely or beneficial to the body. I'll leave it up to you all. But I did come and I did appear in Good Faith to have a dialogue discussion. Even, you know, could have been passionate, could have been barbershop style. I had a problem with that. But I don't believe that what needed to be said was clearly elucidated due to the fact that Chris, he operates on experience. I strive to operate on clear exposition and exegesis of the other word of God, the eternal word of God. Otherwise, your opinion, my opinion, means nothing. You know, if we're going to go by feelings and visions and red devils and white lambs coming into your room, then, you know, then that's going to be the standard by which we judge what is true, what is right. And so not much was accomplished, in my opinion, other than the fact that you, the viewer, saw and witnessed with your own eyes how a person, when they are focused more on how they feel and what they've experienced and then they question whether or not you are a Christian because you are not a deliverance, quote unquote, minister because you haven't cast out any devils. Well, no, I have not cast out any devils the way Chris Lasala has, but actually true deliverance is being transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light, according to Colossians 113. I may have a part to play in that as a means to God's ultimate sovereign end by preaching the gospel to open up the eyes of the blind to help rescue the perishing and care for the dying as the hymn writer says. We all have a part to play in that. So if you're talking about being a deliverance minister by preaching the gospel, by speaking forth the word of God and through the word of God, hearts are convicted, minds are changed, souls are regenerated, then yeah, yeah, I'm a deliverance minister. But I know that's not what Chris meant. He means people who growled and maybe spitting up and all those kind of things. Why does that always have to be quantified as a demon is beyond me. I mean, people can have demons and not do any spitting, any foaming at the mouth. And actually a person who does not have the spirit of God they already belong to Satan. According to the word of God says. But we'll talk about that a little bit in some more tonight, which is the purpose of this live. I wanted to share my thoughts again more succinctly and without interruption to let you all know what I believe and why I believe what I believe. If I would I believe if I can defend it, then that's the position that I hold. You can disagree. I can disagree. But at the end of the day, what is the word of God say? Number one, I do believe that demons exist. I do not deny the existence of demons. I believe Satan is real. But I believe Satan is a defeated foe. I believe that Satan is mighty. But I do not believe that Satan is all mighty. I believe that Satan prowls about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. But Satan is not omnipresent. Satan is not omnipotent. And Satan is not omniscient. Those perfections that I mentioned belong to God and God only. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three persons that make up the true, the one true God that exists in three co-equal, co-eternal persons not made but all three make up the one true God and all three were part of creation and what we see today. That is what I believe about the Godhead. I've already told you what I believe about demons or Satan. I believe man is created in the image of God. I believe man has value, worth, dignity. Why? Because he was created in the image of God. That is why God prior to the law, Genesis 9 verse 6 incorporated capital punishment, i.e. the death penalty for anyone who murders man because every human being every human being from conception to the end of their life are made in the image of God. And so they have value, they have worth, and they have to be treated equally regardless of their social status, regardless of skin color, regardless of societal mores and idiosyncrasies doesn't matter. Every person is born and made in the image of God. That's what I believe. I believe that sin when Adam sinned Adam being our federal head Romans chapter 5 verse 12 that by through one man death came to all men because all sin through one man that one man being Adam death spread to all men and therefore all sin. I believe that redemption comes only and I do mean only by the saving grace and mercy of God which is why Christ came. And before this live is over I'm going to explain to you the purpose why Christ came and for some you're going to be disappointed but for those who have been saved and for those who understand what Christ came for who he came for and what he came to do you and I will be able to say amen. Now with that being the case demons exist. Demons are in this world. We do not see them. Demons have control over that which is not been redeemed by the Holy Spirit. Period point blank. I believe that any person who is saved Christ has died for the sins of those who believe. His blood has been shed for those who believe. He intercedes for those who believe meaning he prays for those who believe those he has purchased with his own blood. Therefore if you belong to God if I belong to God then there is no way that Satan or his demons can inhabit that which the Spirit of God now takes residency. We do not believe in spiritual squatters. Here in Texas there is this uptick of people that don't have a right to occupy someone's edifice someone's home because they don't have the legal right to do so. What they have done they have doctored a paperwork that appears legal and have now come into homes and now it takes the law and a process of law to put them out as Christians that is not the case. When Christ when God when the Holy Spirit because it takes all three to save one center when the divine Godhead enters the human soul there is no other room for any other occupants. The vacancy sign is taken down the residency of the Holy Spirit now permanently lives in the soul and the body of that individual and this is why the Bible tells us we can grieve the Holy Spirit we can quench the Holy Spirit. Why? Because the Holy Spirit lives in us now. It's not the Holy Spirit and Satan it's not the Holy Spirit and demons it's not the Holy Spirit and succubus and incubus no it's the Holy Spirit of God that lives and resides in every born again Christian. Are we going to sin? Yes. But when we sin and we will the Bible says we have an advocate 1 John chapter 1 we have an advocate we have a divine attorney who has never lost the case never. He represents us to the Father we can't represent ourself. This is why Christ came one of the reasons why Christ came because left to ourself we could never represent ourself and if we tried the verdict would be quickly rendered to us. There will be no reason for the Godhead to deliberate and go into the eternal chamber room and decide whether or not we're guilty we'll be guilty by the moment that we decide that we are going to defend our own selves. And this is why he who knew no sin that is Jesus Christ became sin for us. He became that which he never was for those who never was that we had to become like Christ. And so a holy divine exchange had to be made. Christ took our sin and we took Christ's supreme ultimate righteousness. On our behalf he did this therefore anyone that Christ has died for no longer belongs to the devil he cannot possess you but he can oppress you. Me and a brother a brother Darrell was were talking about that briefly. Oh yeah the Satan can oppress he can mess with us his demons can bother us and sometimes we give him a foothold but he does not have legal right to occupy us anymore. Why? Because we have been born again we've been born from above. Ephesians chapter one verse 13 the Bible says that after hearing the message of truth the measures of our salvation we have been sealed once we have accepted we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption until the day that we have now been taken up out of here he is our guarantee he is our earnest he is our eternal earnest he doesn't do like you and I do and put a little something on it no no no no all of it has been given to us therefore there's no reason for us to wonder or to worry or to question whether or not a Christian can be demon-possessed no they can be demon-opressed but they can never be never be demons demon-possessed and unfortunately could not bring all those facts to the table because when you have a person who's more interested and being heard instead of listening the Bible says that's a fool a fool does not delight in understanding but only in revealing is on mind and in Proverbs 18 2 I believe fools don't delight in understanding fools don't delight in learning they think they already know and what can you tell a person who thinks they are already omniscient nothing because they're the fourth member of the Trinity you can't tell omniscient people anything because they think they already know everything and that's why God says he fights the proud but gives grace to the humble now that was just a small introduction if you will but I want to just kind of like go through the text again um and at the end of the live if time permits if time permits and I do mean if time permits if if you would like to show your thoughts about last night's debate I'll put the link up for you to come up I'm only going to accept two guests at a time and it's only gonna be for a short time so after after this live after I present the text and things of that nature and share my thoughts if there's time left I may open up the cam for for guests to come on what you would need to do you would need to email me if the time permits and I'll let you know you have to email me your uh your contact information so I can send you the link and then I'll uh I'll populate you and have you to come on in and we can have a conversation about what was what was said on on last night but for the sake of review for some and others may not be I want to just go ahead and recite the text that I had presented on yesterday so yet where you can see that you can have a flow on why it is impossible for a true follower a true born again child of God to be demon possessed notice possessed or inhabit a demon or have a demon they can't it's impossible so let's see what the word of God has to say about it again Matthew chapter 12 verse 43 through 45 now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man it passes through waterless places seeking rest and does not find it then it says I will return to my house from which I came and when it comes it finds it notice not occupied but unoccupied the same condition that it was is what it is now and when it comes it that is the spirit that unclean spirit finds it unoccupied swept and put in order so outwardly everything looks good but there's nothing maintaining it then it goes verse 45 then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits notice more wicked or more powerful than itself and they enter notice and they go in and live there and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first do y'all see that they go in and they live there they dwell that's what they do so now they're in dwell in this house they're not on the house curse of the house they're in the house and the house would be the the soul or the the spirit because that's what that's what we are we are we have a soul the soul and the spirit are used into changing I know we may have some tripartite people here I'm a bipartite I'm a I'm a I'm a bipartite person I believe that there that there are the body and then the soul and the spirit are used interchangeably and they have the same descriptions and definitions and functions and activities as the as the other regarding the soul and the spirit realm but there may be some that are you know tripartite or trichotomous I'm a I'm a I'm a dichotomist that's what I am but but anyway so that's that's that's the first first text let's look at the next one John chapter 10 verse 27 through 30 my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give eternal life to them there is no one who does not have the spirit of God who has eternal life in Christ yes everyone is going to live eternally the question is where that's the question everyone is going to live eternally somewhere we don't just die and that's it the bible makes it clear the text says Jesus says verse 27 my sheep hear my voice so he is making a the declarative statement he says my sheep he didn't just say sheep hear my voice no he says my sheep hear my voice and I know them there's relationship here and they follow me there's obedience so you have relationship and obedience show me a person who claims to have relationship and no obedience and I'm going to show you a person who's a false convert because Jesus says in Luke 6 46 why call me lord lord and not do the things that I say are y'all following me verse 28 he says and I give eternal life to them and they will never perish and notice and no one will snatch them out of my hand that should be enough right there you would think that would be enough but Jesus goes on and he fortifies it further he says my father who has given who has given them to me is greater than all and he's not saying that the father is greater than the son that's not what he's saying the all that he's referring to is no one being able to snatch them out of his hand my father who has given them to me is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the father's hand and how do we know and how would you know that Jesus is not talking about that the father is greater than him because in verse 30 just let the text say what it says I and the father are one and how do we know that that's what Jesus meant and how do we know that Jesus is not saying that the father is greater than the son because verse 31 says right here the Jews picked up stones again to stone him they tried to stone him in John 8 remember notice the Jews picked up stones to stone him Jesus answered I showed you many good works for from the father for which of them are you stoning me verse 33 the Jews answered him for a good work we don't we don't stone you we do not stone you but for blasphemy and because you being a man make yourself out to be God you being a man make yourself out to be God that is why just have to throw that in there for those who are the Marcus Rogers type the Bryson Gray type the Brandon Tatum type yeah the T.D. Jakes type John chapter 14 look at the role of the Holy Spirit what is the what is the Spirit's purpose verse 16 I will ask the father and he will give you another helper that he may be with you forever does the text say unless or until you are inhabited by a demon quote unquote in your flesh or until you have a demon is that what the text says no the text says I will ask the father that is Jesus will ask the father and he that is that is the father will give you another helper that he may be with you and who is this helper he explains in verse 17 that is the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive why because it does not see him or know him so every person who is not a Christian does not have the Holy Spirit but those whom the father has given to the Son as love gifts they have the Spirit of God and they belong to him and this is why the helper comes the Paracletus comes and he says verse 17 but you know him why because he abides with you and notice and will be in you future tense he's speaking future tense to these disciples to the disciples and telling them this is what's going to happen I'm going to I'm going to pray to the Father the Father is going to send the Comforter the Holy Spirit he's going to be with you and in you forever forever verse 18 then he goes further and makes another declarative statement he says in verse 18 I will not leave you as orphans I will come to you this is a promise this is a promise after a little while the world will no longer see me but you will see me why because I live you will live also and that day you will know that I am in my Father and you notice and you in me and I in you so again ladies and gentlemen we see the Trinity right here in just this passage alone Jesus says he's going to ask the Father right that's two people and the Father is going to send the Comforter the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth that's the third person and all three make up the one true God and will be with one redeemed sinner who has now made a child of God or y'all follow me so far verse 21 he who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me and he who loves me will be loved by my Father and I will love him and will disclose myself to him Judas not as scary it said to him Lord what then has happened that you are going to disclose yourself to us and not to the world verse 23 if anyone loves me he will keep my word and my Father will love him and we notice and we will come to him and make our abode with him it's pretty pretty simple is it not why would anyone argue about this only shows and reveals their arrogance and their pride because the text makes it clear Christ says he will never leave the Spirit will never depart from us God will also send the Spirit to be our guarantor what else do we need what else do we need John chapter 12 I mean John chapter 17 verse 12 Jesus is high priestly prayer notice he's praying to the Father and says while I was with them while I was with them I was keeping them in your name which you have given me and I guarded them not one of them perished not one but the Son of Perdition so that the scripture would be fulfilled he says the ones you gave me he says I was keeping them in your name which you have given me and I guarded them I protected them and none of them perished not one he said except the Son of Perdition so that the scriptures will be fulfilled that's key and that is clear Romans chapter 8 verse 9 however you are not in the flesh notice why does Paul say that let's go up for a second let's go on let's look here this should start from verse 1 therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death for what the law could not do weak as it was weak as it was excuse me through the flesh notice through the flesh do our ability to do it God did sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh not not him being sinful but in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin he condemned sin in the flesh meaning in his body so that here's the reason why so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us why because God had to have a substitute since man sin God had to be a man Christ had to be a man fully God and fully man to fulfill the right the requirement of the law he says so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh mmm let's look at this for a second the flesh the flesh sharks it means the psychological aspect of human nature that's it that's it which contrasts with spiritual nature in other words that aspect of the human nature so in other words you have the flesh and the spirit that's it two there's two words there's two worlds that's it either you're of the flesh or you're of the spirit and notice also it is this and remember I said last night the sinful humanity the unredeemed humanity that never got saved the definition is right there the physical aspect of a person in distinction to the immaterial soul often understood as the seat of sin and rebellion to God that's it for those who are according to the flesh notice the sinful nature set their minds on the things of the flesh but those who are according to the spirit the things of the spirit for the mind set on the flesh is death but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace why because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God so how can you and I be born again be born from God be born above from above have the spirit of God in us that would never leave us never forsake us who is our guarantee of redemption and yet still be hostile to God make that make sense Chris and whoever else supports that unbiblical wacky view the Bible makes it clear because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God for it does not subject itself to the law of God for it is not even able to do so it doesn't want to and it can't therefore and those who are in the flesh cannot please God those who operate and who function and who think fleshly and think according to their sinful nature you can't please God you cannot however he says to the church at Rome you are not in the flesh but in the spirit if indeed the spirit of God dwells in you but if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ he does not belong to him just let that sink in King James says now if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his none none one none if you don't have the spirit of Christ you don't have spirit of God and you have not been born again if the spirit of God is not in you you're not saved and yes now you are open to demonic possession and oppression both but for those who are of the spirit the enemy cannot do anything and I'm going to show you in scripture I'm not going to give you any experience I'm not going to talk about you know blue hearts you know horseshoes and and blue and green clovers no I don't preach a lucky charms gospel and I'm going to give you a lucky charm of experience put that in your bowl but you won't find that in your bible the 6th and Mother's text Romans chapter 8 verse 35 who who will separate us from the love of Christ with tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword just as it is written for your sake we are being put to death all day long we are counted considered as sheep but to be slaughtered but in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer now if you have a demon in you now if you have a demon and you can't con you can't be you can't be overwhelming a conqueror because someone has control of you if it's not the spirit of God verse 37 Paul says but in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us verse 38 for I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels no principalities and remember I asked the question last night I said Chris what are principalities and his answer was demons and I said correct but then if that is true and while we have this conversation while we have this this this back and forth why would there be a debate if Paul says I'm convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor any other created thing and even if he wanted to deny that principalities don't mean demons listen Paul by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said let me let me cover all bases or any other created thing because demons are created they were they're fallen angels prior to them being being cast down by loose because of Lucifer's rebellion they were still created so Paul says nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord questions ladies and gentlemen question question if a person who claims to be born of God now has a demon and dwelling them in their spirit or in their soul forget this body garbage you don't see that in the scriptures if a person claims to have the Holy Spirit of God and now they have a demon then who's doing the separating who's doing the separating ladies and gentlemen if I claim that I'm born again and I have a demon in me either one or two things either God is weak or I am not saved that's it and we know it is not the former we know it is not the former because we have a plethora of scriptures we have a plethora of texts that show us the opposite and so-called Christians are giving the devil more credit than what the devil even has and I'm going to show you even Satan knows he don't have that much credit he don't have that much power I'm going to show you that I'm going to show it to you don't worry about it I will show it to you we're just going through the scriptures y'all we're going through the scriptures he says nor any other created thing notice will be able to separate us be able oh thank you lord do y'all see that oh ain't that so beautiful look at it look at it look at that phrase I need y'all look at that look at the phrase look at the phrase will be able ability means power strength might he says they don't have it if something could separate us from God from his love because if I'm demonically possessed or inhabited by a demon I don't love God I'm just I'm just giving you all logic okay now is it possible for you and I to like love for God yeah how do I know because when we sin that's lacking love for God he says if you love me you'll keep my commandments now do we do it perfectly no but when we sin when we sin not if but when we sin in that moment we're not showing love to God okay I don't I don't want you I don't want you to to misunderstand what I'm saying I don't believe nor do I teach that's that Christians can be sinless no no no we should be sinning less we should be sinning less but we're we will never ever be sinless why because we still have the old nature Ephesians 4 you see you have the old nature that we got to fight with you have the old nature the flesh to contend with Romans 8 right now let's continue on second Corinthians chapter 6 and and forgive me for those of you who may be familiar with this but I want to make sure that those who were watching yesterday's debate that they understand my position and where I'm coming from and this is the this is really the reason why I'm doing this reaction live so hope you all are able to you know bear with me on that but second Corinthians chapter 6 verse 15 through 16 we and we all always talk about this text do not be unequally yogurt with unbelievers yeah we got that but that's not all he said he says for what harmony has Christ with Belial or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever or what agreement has the temple of God with idols all of these are rhetorical questions that the answer should be in a negative nothing we have nothing in common with Christ we have we have nothing come with with with with Belial or Satan we have we have nothing in common with an unbeliever nothing we have no harmony there's nothing for us to tune up with the enemy there should be no agreement with idols because we are he says the temple of the living God just as God said notice here it is right here just as God said I will dwell in them notice I will dwell in them and walk among them fellowship the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit of God is in every believer and we have fellowship and we belong to God he says and I will be their God and they shall be my people those who are demon possessed don't have that they can't claim that they cannot claim that wherever God is Satan cannot be it's no it's no different than light and darkness wherever light is darkness has to go wherever light is not darkness has to be simple we see that in Genesis 1 when God said let there be light and there was light darkness didn't say I ain't when God said let there be there was Colossians chapter 1 verse 13 to 14 for he notice for he rescued us from the domain of darkness that is God God God rescued us from the domain of darkness and notice and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved son and whom we have redemption the forgiveness of sins oh my you mean there's a transfer absolutely anytime a person is saved there is a divine spiritual transfer are you following me anytime a person has been saved there's a rest listen talk about rescue operation God's rescue operation is always successful whoever he goes after he gets you don't ever have to worry about a failed mission with the sovereign God of the universe never whatever whoever God wants he will get he rescued us from the domain of darkness and that domain of darkness means exactly that the domain of satan the evil one and all of his authority and all of his power he had to do it why because we couldn't we couldn't which is why I bristle and why I am vehemently opposed to anyone talking about they have the free will to choose Christ you can't choose jack you're dead if you could choose and you would have been able to rescue yourself you can't rescue yourself because you hate God God has to rescue us from the dominion and domain of darkness and of the devil and to transfer us and to bring us to the kingdom to bring us to his kingdom stop being glory hoes and give God the glory Hebrews chapter 13 the B clause in verse 5 he says I will never leave you nor will I ever forsake you never never I will never leave you that's a promise it and either either God is lying or we are and I'll take we are for 500 Alex we're the liars of those who think that a Christian can be demonically inhabited are the liars rather in any shape form or fashion in any shape form or fashion James 4 7 submit therefore to God resist the devil and he will flee from you well why would you resist the devil if you already demonically possessed what sense does that make because if he's in us he's the one controlling us now makes no sense makes no sense but but let me let me go to something real real quick I want to I wanted to scroll down and show you and show you something let's go to chapter five for just a moment and we're going to go down to verse 13 James 5 is anyone among you suffering no notice what notice what the apostle says I mean is there anyone among you suffering then he must pray is anyone anyone cheerful he's the same praises is anyone among you sick then he must call for the elders of the church and and they are to pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick and the Lord will raise him up and if he has committed sins they will be forgiven him what's missing in this equation I'll wait I'll wait do you see the way what James says any among you demon possessed I'll wait is any any among you walking around with a demon in your flesh I'll wait does the text say that no it doesn't and I think we already know why it doesn't but he tells us therefore confess your sins King James says your faults to one another and pray for another so that you may be healed the effective or effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man can accomplish or righteous man avail of much we're to pray we minimize prayer we minimize the power of the gospel that's that's another reason I mean if you want somebody that the demon to come out or somebody met well I mean that is not what the gospel is for because once they once they're saved and let's unless I'm misreading First Thessalonians chapter one because that's what got those people from having those idols that they were worshiping out of their soul because it's always in the spirit and before it's ever in the physical ladies and gentlemen always always but let's continue first Peter five eight be of sober spirit be on the alert your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring line seeking someone to devour verse nine but resist him then say rebuke then say cast it out nothing nothing but resist him firm in your faith knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world your brethren brethren your brethren first Peter one verse three through five notice we're protected we're covered we're flanked he says blessed blessed be the god and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again wait a minute I know I know I'm preaching to the choir I know but bear with me just just just put up with your brother for just a moment please if Peter says that we were born again that means what we were born in sin that means that we were as Colossian said we had to be redeemed that means Satan was our master matter of fact Satan didn't just have control over our flesh Satan had control over us period our mind you know the immaterial this is why Paul when he speaks about and he goes hard in the paint in Roman six because in Romans five he's speaking about how we have peace with God and how we're able to have fellowship with him and how sin has been vanquished or it has no authority over us but then you have some people say well let us sin so that grace may increase he says no no no no no no he said anybody thinks like that their condemnation is just and this is why he says in chapter six and verse one shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound may it never be how we how can you and I how can we who have been born again how can we you and I who have been sanctified or how can you and I be have been delivered from sin still live in it we can't it is impossible for a true child of God to live in habitual sin he says how can you and I do this who have died to sin meaning it has no power over us how can we who have died to sin and it may have no effect on us still live in sin as though it does have effect on us it's impossible it is impossible Paul says but but Peter says who caused us to be born again notice God did God did God caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead verse four to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away reserved in heaven for you who are protected by the power of God those who are the who are the who those that God the Father according to his great mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who has caused us to be born again those those are the ones who are protected by the power of God the enemy has no power over God's children to do anything to to them but we'll continue on let's continue on because I believe he makes it clear and clear as we go through these texts first John four four you are from God you he the you he referred to are the little children the believers not not the world we know that right he says you are from God little children and have overcome them because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world first John chapter two verse 13 I'm writing to you fathers because you know him who has been from the beginning I'm writing to you young men because you have overcome the evil one wait a minute so how can I overcome the evil one and yet still have the evil one in me makes no sense right if we just let the text say what it says those who are of God who are in Christ we have victory over Satan he can do nothing to us until or unless God allows it but one thing he can never do ever ever do is possess us but he can upon permission and I'm going to show you in scripture he can upon permission sovereign permission by God to oppress to mess to bother to nag us yes he can do that he says I'm writing to you young men because you have overcome the evil one I have written to you children because you know the father first John 5 18 through 19 we know that no one who is born of God sins that's a pattern of life that's pattern habitual sin we know that no one who is born of God sins but he who was born of God keeps him and the evil one does not touch him he doesn't have control he doesn't have authority he doesn't have the right he has no legal right over God's elect are we are you getting this verse 19 says we know that we are of God and that the whole world lies in the power of or in the evil one and we know who the evil one is so although we are in this world we do not belong to the God of this world we know that that is true because 2nd Corinthians 4 says that the God of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving well we're not the ones that are unbelieving we're not the ones who are blind all we need to do is let the text say what it says Jude a bond servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James to those notice who are the called beloved and God the Father and notice kept for Jesus Christ not kept for Satan not kept for the devil and his demons and his imps no no no kept for for Christ and he is a keeper yes he is he's a keeper yes he is we know that song yeah he's a keeper oh he's an he's a he's a excellent keeper notice he says we he says and kept oh I love it perfect passive partisan you know what that means something that happened in time past and it continues on and has continual results today yeah yeah he kept us in eternity past and we still we're still being kept oh glory to his name thank you Lord for your keeping power because if he don't keep you and keep me oh we're done huh we better be glad he keeps us and notice notice notice we're not holding to him he's holding us are you hearing me are you hearing me God is the one who holds us we ain't holding Jack he holds us by the word of his power he keeps us from falling how do I know that okay come on come on come on come on we know the benediction let's go here let's go here let's go here here it is right here Jew 24 now to him who is able he has the power to keep you and I from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of his glory blame us with great joy to the only God our Savior to Jesus Christ our Lord be glory, majesty, dominion and authority before all time and now and forever amen but I'm not done I ain't done I'm not done that's just Jude's doxology he's the one who's able to keep us from stumbling and to make us stand left to our self ladies and gentlemen we can't do Jack okay so get over yourself let's get over ourselves all right let's do that now I want I want to cite I want to cite three more maybe four depending um three more texts because I want I want you to get the gist of what this looks like okay I want you to understand that when we talk about demon possession yes demons are real no no no one that I know who understands the Word of God and who reads the Word of God faithfully will tell you they don't believe demons are real then they're they're lying they're lying demons are real yes they're real demons are in the world right now we just look at look at what's going on TV look at look at the entertainment industry look at look at what's going on the news oh yeah the God of this world is doing his job but you and I have authority over the demonic realm why because we are not of this world we represent a new kingdom we represent a new realm of authority and that is through the kingdom of God so we are his ambassadors so since we are his ambassadors we are under divine orders to proclaim the message of the gospel and that is how people are delivered I was trying to explain it to Chris yesterday but see again when you when you think that your experience trumps clear exegesis then you're the authority and not God's word so uh let's let's go and look at some other texts here again I want to show you another another passage we talked about it a little bit on yesterday but let's go right into it again I want to look at let's go to Mark let's go to Mark chapter five the demoniac okay and we and I touched on just a little bit I thought I did but in case I didn't let's just go through it again notice what he says Mark writes this he says they came to the other side of the sea into the country of the garrisons and when he got out of the boat immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met him and he was he had his dwelling among the tombs if you want to hear my exposition of this passage you can go to my channel and I believe I discuss this the demonic demise of a generation I think I did probably didn't I do that one but I did I did the study on mark five and I actually did the study of and played a video of a young man walking around in the store literally no lie walking around in the store with his butt showing literally walking around the grocery store with his butt showing that's a demon possessed person Chris and he wasn't foaming at the mouth he wasn't convulsing he wasn't gyrating then the little negro was walking around the grocery store and he had his butt so he pulled his shorts down he had on red shorts and he pulled his red shorts down he had the front covered but he was showing his behind literally showing his behind so this wasn't a figure of speech we talking about you showing your butt he was showing his behind in the grocery store and it took one of the employees one of the managers I guess it was to tell him either pull his clothes up or get out that's demonic possession how do we know because we're gonna see in this text this is one of the ways we know that this man was demonically possessed but let's continue verse four I mean excuse me verse three and he had his dwelling among the tombs he was living among the dead that's another example and no one was able to bind him or restrain him anymore even with the chain because he had often been bound with shackles and chains and the chains have been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces and no one noticed so not only is he a spiritual nuisance he is a societal threat because no one is able to bind him no one is able to control him he can't be placed under arrest constantly verse five night and day he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains and gashing himself with stone stones so now we have a spiritual problem we have a societal problem we have a self problem now he's doing harm to himself that's demonic possession verse six says seeing Jesus from a distance he ran up and bowed down before him and shouting with a loud voice he said what business do we have with each other Jesus some of the most high God I implore you by God do not so listen these demons they got better theology than chrysosala Alex Pagani Isaiah Saldivar you know the demon slayers this this man who's possessed by these demons and we know that these are the these are the demons that's doing this because notice he says I implore you by God do not torment me for he had been saying to him come out of the man you unclean spirit and he was asking him what is your name and he said to him the demon said to him through this man my name is legion for we are many a legion is six thousand this man had six thousand demons in him and he began to implore him verse 10 earnestly not to send them out of the country now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain the demons implored him saying send us into the swine so that we may enter them notice enter them it didn't just say it was in this man's flesh this man these demons has the whole of the man Jesus gave them permission and coming out the unclean spirits entered the swine and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea about two thousand of them about two thousand of them it was three to one odds and they were drowned in the sea the herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country and the people came to see what it was that happened here it is verse 15 how do we know that this man became delivered when these demons left verse 15 they came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon notice been past tense been demon possessed sitting down here it is clothed and in his right mind the very man who had the legion let that sink in for effect show me a person who wants to walk around naked show me a person who wants to walk around exposing himself show me a person who wants to walk around showing their breasts and showing everything else that's supposed to be kept in private and this is what they glory in I'm going to show you a demon possessed individual again it don't have to be that deep Chris it just has to be scriptural and based on the divine reveal word of God that's it that's it happy feet to answer your question look up the word legion and you'll find the definition of the word legion is six thousand is six thousand comprised of six thousand so that's one that's one one account but you also have luke's gospel he records it as well too just really briefly notice verse 27 and when he came out unto the land he was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons and had who had not put on any clothing for a long time and was not living any house but in the tombs scroll down go down to verse verse 30 35 and notice same thing happened different gospel account the same situation the people went out to see what had happened and notice and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting down at the feet of Jesus notice cloth and in his right mind cloth and in his right mind let's look at another account let's go to the rich man in Lazarus and and and why am I going to this one ladies and gentlemen because I want to show you something and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna give you the big picture once I read it I'm gonna give you give you the big picture when I read this account on why I believe the word of God must be the final authority it can't just be a cliche it must be the final authority if it is not the final authority in your life then you're gonna be like the chrysalis solace of the world you're gonna base your truth on what you feel and what you have been hallucinating and what you thought you saw and what you think is of God and it is not so let's look at the text Luke chapter 16 verses 19 to 31 there was a rich man and he had habitually dressed in purple and fine linen joyously living and splendor every day and a poor man named Lazarus was laid at the his gate covered with sores and longing to be fed what the crowns which were falling from the rich man's table besides even the dogs were coming and licking his sores now this now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom and the rich man also died and was buried in Hades he that is the rich man lifted up his eyes being in torment and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom and he cried out and said Father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue for I am in agony in this flame but Abraham said child and he's not talking about child of God he's just doing for me child remember that during your life you received your good things and likewise Lazarus bad things but now he is being comforted here and you are in agony and besides all this between us and you there's a great chasm fixed so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able and that none may cross over from there to us when I hear people tell them about if I go to hell I'm having a party you sound so stupid ain't gonna be in a party and inhale you ain't gonna be nowhere near the nearest person maybe chasms away from you verse 27 and he said that is the rich man then I beg you Father that you send him to my father's house if I have five brothers in order that he may warn them so that they will not also come to this place of torment so now he's getting revelation now he's getting understanding now he's getting epiphany of this conscious place of torment that is tailor made for those who refuse to repent but Abraham said verse 29 they have Moses and the prophets let them hear him I mean let them hear them he said look I got five brothers send Lazarus to my brothers let them come back let him warn them he says no they have Moses and the prophets they have the law and the prophets they have the word of God verse 30 but he said no father Abraham but if someone goes to them from the dead they will repent is that true let's see verse 31 but he said to them but he said to him excuse me if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead it doesn't matter look at me it doesn't matter how many exorcisms you have Chris Alex Isaiah whoever else believes in these programmed scheduled demon slaying services and that's another thing I've never seen Jesus or the apostles schedule a demon slaying or deliverance service never never seen one scheduled never seen one advertised never but these people they presume upon the power of God and say that yeah we're gonna have a deliverance service we're gonna we're gonna we're not gonna get we're gonna pay have y'all pay me to come and deliver these people for for a fee nowhere in the scriptures none nowhere no scheduled events nothing like that but knows what the text says he says if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets if they don't listen to the word of God that they have in their possession if they don't believe what what God's word has said to his people he says they will not be persuaded notice not can't I want I want to look at these words now don't don't just just look over them don't read fast over these words he says if they do not listen not can't listen no no no they hear it they don't want to hear it if they do not listen to Moses and the prophets they will not be persuaded do you see that they will not they won't be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead so what is the big picture ladies and gentlemen what is the big picture I want you to see and understand the big picture is this it is the eternal word of God that takes precedence that takes supreme authority over your experience and mine period Chris said last night in his retort saying I bet you haven't cast on any devils and anything like that I don't have to to know that the word of God is true I don't have to to know that you are a liar I don't have to to know that you're a fraud I don't have to know I don't have to do that what I do know is this show me a person who bases their ministry on experience and I'm going to show you a person who has a very low value of the word of God that I can show you now let's look at a couple more texts and then we'll we'll wrap this up now this is going to be Laura help me so I want you to I want you to get this one this this this this here we've read it I know we've read this before I know we've read it I know we've read it but did we read it but did we really read it look what Jesus says and Luke 22 we're going to look at Luke and John's account but I want you to see Luke's account first he says Simon Simon behold Satan has demanded you know that word means literally you know what the word means I'll show you I'll show what it means look he says Simon Simon behold Satan has obtained notice by asking oh listen to me listen to me I just told you did not tell y'all did not tell you that Satan can do nothing to the believer notice the text didn't say let's go back the text didn't say Satan has obtained by asking to endwale you come on look at the text y'all don't play look at the text he says Simon Simon behold Satan has asked he asked permission from me from God yes I do only reason why they mentioned Joe only reason why I mentioned not because it didn't happen only reason why I mentioned Joe because I was just was referring to it you know and in a new text even though technically technically technically technically ladies and gentlemen the new covenant didn't happen until acts two so technically Job and through the gospels are all under the old covenant all under the old covenant but just in case we have some of these people that acted as though hey that was the old testament yeah true but it was under the old covenant so yes you can use Job absolutely absolutely you can use Job and say listen just like Satan had to ask for permission and nothing happens in your life or in mine as a believer listen to me as a believer Job was an old testament saint and he had to have permission Satan had to get permission when he was was going with the sons of God what you were the angels and he had to give an account because remember the text said God asked Satan where you where you been boy he wasn't asking because he needed to get a GPS on the devil no he knew exactly what what satan was doing he says from going to and from throughout the whole earth and walking up and down in it you know what he was saying I'm looking for somebody to get I'm looking for somebody to mess with and guess what God did Lord you said well why are you looking have you considered my servant Job ladies and gentlemen can I also say this as well since we're talking about Job all he could do was oppress Job but he could not possess him even listen oh thank you Holy Spirit even when and if the Holy Spirit did not endure Job quote unquote Satan couldn't even if you don't see any quote unquote record of Job being spirit field or spirit and dwell we know that Satan couldn't do it we know that Satan couldn't end well Job number one Job had to get permission to even touch Job Satan had to get permission to even touch Job that's the first thing Job was definitely looking around because he said that you got a hedger you got a hedger protecting around this man I can't get to me even for one or two and only when God removed the hedge was when Satan had a field day and he told him you can touch anything that he has but you can't touch his life his life belongs to me now if it's true for Job if what God said to Satan is true for Job under the old covenant then how much more true is it for you and I under the new covenant I'll wait I'll wait yeah go run tell that run tell that run tell that he said you gotta get permission bro and notice when he was having a conversation with Job he said have you considered my servant Job my servant not yours not yours mine my servant Job so I want to encourage those of you tonight be encouraged be encouraged although Satan is trying to give you hell know that you still had it for heaven although Satan may be trying to give you problems just know that you are still in the hand of the problem solver and although everything may be going on around in your life and and and you just you you see Satan busy notice Satan has to report to your sovereign Lord and mine every single time I don't care listen to me I don't care what you are going through any haters any enemies any satanic influence that is trying to come at you Satan had to get it signed off Satan had to get it signed off when I was in the military listen to me when I was in the military they they were it was called when you wanted to do something or it was called a request shit a request shit c-h-i-t that form that was used you had to you had to go through stages and to the guy to the to the person who can finally sign off on it brothers and sisters anything that happens in your life that Satan wants to do he can't touch your soul he can't touch your soul he can't touch your soul your spirit because soul and spirit when I say it is are the same and I'm gonna do a I'm gonna do a bible study on that in the coming weeks and why I'm a dichotomist or hold to the bipartite view but anyway Satan has to get permission ladies and gentlemen to do anything to you or I he had to get permission to mess with Joe but he couldn't touch his life he couldn't he couldn't feel him he couldn't indwell him all he could do was mess with him terrestrally all he could do was mess with him superficially I'm talking about on the surface he could not indwell him he belonged to God and that shows you and I ladies and gentlemen Satan ain't no dummy Satan knows he has to get permission to he because he has no legal right listen to me y'all he has no legal right to mess with God's children so since Satan has no legal right to mess with God's children why are some of these so-called demon slayers giving Satan more credit when Satan himself ain't giving himself that kind of credit he's like bro I do I can possess I can indwell the flesh of a redeemed child of God even though they're battling with the flesh with their spirit man oh wow thank you Chris I didn't know that let me let me get with God and find out because that ain't what my Bible said he said let me let me touch let me touch his his his his stuff and God said yeah you can touch everything he has except his except his life if that belongs to me that belongs to me he couldn't even mess with the man's stuff y'all listen maybe I'm just the one encouraged I am I'm encouraging myself because I need I need some encouragement nowadays I do men and misses we need some encouragement because the things we've been going through by some of these so-called professing Christians and some of these Johnny Gil fair weather friends listen Satan is definitely busy but he's only busy because God gave permission to be busy as a test how do I know that let's go back to Luke let's go back to Luke look look Simon Simon behold Satan has obtained let's what the word means literally he has obtained by asking he has obtained by asking to sift you or demanded permission to sift you like we not possess you but to sift you to shake you up to to mess with you bruh but notice what verse 32 says but I have prayed Lord Lord Lord I'm trying out to run in this dog on studio I'm trying out to run listen listen to me listen to me listen to me it's one thing that I pray for you it it's it's one thing if I prayed for you if if Lady satin prays for you my wife prays for you if if if the Facebook family prays for you what's up y'all if the Facebook family prays for you if if if everybody prays for you on the chat that's good and we should and we should and we should And we should We're commanded to pray for one another. We were supposed to When we go out to spirit to warfare Paul even said in the infusion six and pray for me y'all He said pray for me that I may be both. It's good for us to pray for one another. It's good It's not only is it good. It's a command. It's golly. It's all that but let me tell you something ain't nothing like Ain't nothing like this gentleman praying for you and I Whoo, he said but I prayed for you I've interceded for you. I'm not gonna take I'm not gonna take the struggle away I'm just gonna give you the power to withstand and Maintain in the struggle This struggle is sovereignly induced. Yes. Listen. It ain't listen because but listen It's one thing of having issues that are self-induced that we do it because we do a lot So we that we think in the devil. No, it was you. It was me. We did that. It's a self-induced trial So self-induced consequences of self-induced struggle, but it's another thing when it's sovereignly introduced It's sovereignly induced. Look at the text Satan has demanded permission by Asking he had to ask Permission to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you I have What did you pray about Jesus that your faith may not fail that you don't fall away And notice, huh, how do we know he ain't gonna fall away? He says and and you when Notice and when once you have turned when you repent When you when you return when you come back Strengthen your brother tonight yet now you can help them and knowing what not to do now You can help them because you know how it feels to think that you're not gonna do something and you find yourself doing the Very thing that you said you weren't gonna do and I told you was gonna do it But you so confident in yourself And I have to use this to humble you Pete and that's what God does He humbles us He humbles us He humbles us through trials and and and be encouraged be encouraged because we know what we're going through It may feel like we can't go through it anymore But we have to maintain a hold to the promise that the Bible says in 1st Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 that there is no temptation there is no trial That has overtaken you But such as this common to man, but God is faithful Who will not not might no no no who will not Who will not allow you and I to suffer To go through anything Beyond our control, but will with the temptation notice will with the temptation make a way of escape Why that we so we have to be able to bear it. That's why He says but when you return When you return he says strengthen your brothers strengthening your brothers When you come back strengthen your brothers Now interestingly He said I prayed for you right notice what he said that he said he said that I've prayed for you And listen, can you show me a demon possessed person? that Jesus has prayed for I Can't and I know the Bible can't because Jesus says here in John chapter 17 verse 9 He says I have he says I ask on their behalf. I'm praying on their behalf. I Do not ask on behalf of the world. I Do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom you have given me for they are yours Verse 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one He says he said I'm not praying for the world The world you didn't you didn't give the world to me. You gave those that you chosen and elected out of the world to me Yes, yes, that's who he gave that's who he gave John chapter 13 Different writer John writes this same account different writer. He says In verse 21 Jesus has said this he became troubled in spirit and testified and said truly truly I say to you that one of you will betray me The disciples began looking at one another and a lost to know of which one he was speaking There was reclining on Jesus's bosom one of his disciples whom Jesus loved he's speaking in third person talking about himself So Simon Peter verse 24 gesture to him that is to John and said to him tell us of whom Who it is that he's speaking he leaning back thus on Jesus's bosom said to him Lord, who is it? Jesus then answered That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him So when he had dipped the morsel he took and gave it to Judas the son of Simon is scary it and after the morsel Satan entered into him and how do we know that Judas was not a true believer because Jesus just said and John 17 that he kept those that God the father gave him and They did not perish Notice he said Except the son of perdition so that the scriptures may be fulfilled, but notice the text says that the that Satan entered into him You know that means pretty simple Erkham I it means it means to come into to dwell into That's what it means to move into He says after the morsel Satan entered him. It's different account from what he said To Simon Peter, right? He says Satan has has asked for permission to sift you Like we but he didn't say that about Judas. He didn't say Judas say this ask permission to to to and dwell you why? Because he already belongs to Satan Christ didn't die for He didn't die for Judas Jews already belong to the to the demonic realm. He's a son of perdition Son of destruction Just want you to see that now Remember I had told you all and we by the raptors up. I had told you all That I'm going to share with you what was the purpose on why Christ came What was the purpose? Why? Christ came if you are a demon slayer like Chris LaSolla who I see in the chat I don't know how you slay a demon. How do you kill a demon other than if you're not if you're not God, but anyway If you are a demon slayer and hold to to that to that that mythical belief that you have the power to Do these things and the scriptures don't teach that but nonetheless And you think that that's what Jesus came to do fine Fine on the problem with that is is that? He won't have any biblical basis for it now. I Want to show you I Want to show you two passages of scripture. I Want to show you two passages of scripture where Jesus is Described with his ministry purposes and then he explicitly states what his purpose is on earth to do so now Let's go back to the screen And we want to look at let's look at I guess Let's see I was gonna read this one. Let me go here real quick Roman 714, you know the the infamous text that mr LaSolla tried to use For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am a flesh sold into bondage to sin For what I am doing Paul is writing. He's he's he's given this that you notice the natures nature of the flesh and of the spirit he says For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am a flesh sold into bondage to sin for what I am doing I do not understand for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate no one who is demon possessed says this no one who is controlled by demons says this No one no one only those Who are not born again would say This is who I am Now Paul says look, I'm a flesh. I still I'm still contending with this flesh I'm doing the thing that I hate to do verse 16. He says, but if I do the very thing I do not want to do I agree with the law. I agree with the law Confessing that the law is good. So Now no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me Notice he doesn't say He's possessed by Satan nowhere Let's continue For I know that nothing good dwells in me that is that is in my flesh in my Unredeemed nature as we says why for the willingness present in me, but the doing of the good is not For the good that I want I do not do But I practice the very evil that I do not want This is a clear sign that this man this apostle Who has been saved is telling us clearly when you and I have been born again The flesh never got saved the flesh never was redeemed and it's still the principle Of sin by which we express our sinful desires Because we can't do it through the spirit. This is why the spirit in the flesh war with each other Now notice He says For I know that nothing good dwells in me that is in my flesh for the willingness present in me But the doing of the good is not for the good that I want I do not do I do not do But I practice the very evil that I do not want But if I'm doing the very thing I do not want I am no longer do the one doing it But sin which dwells in me. He's talking about the flesh. He's not talking about Satan He's not talking about demons. He ain't say nothing about demons in his flesh nothing nothing I find then verse 21 Notice the principle Hmm, what did what you say Paul the principle? Oh the law is not a demon. I Find then that the principle the principle that evil is present in me the one who wants to do good not a demon Not a demon Paul No, he says for I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man in the inner man the inner man the inner man the spirit Paul Yeah, yeah Yeah But I see a different law verse 23 in the members of my body waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of The law of sin which is in my members Wretched man that I am Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ. I will lower so then on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God But on the other with my flesh notice with the whip my flesh The law of sin Notice that notice that He's telling us clearly. I'm serving the law of God with my mind But on the other hand on the other side of the flesh The flesh and this is the interesting thing Paul never mentioned demons But Chris LaSolla did but it's nowhere in the text Nowhere Now Let's continue on these last couple of verses I had mentioned to you I wanted to talk about The The the purpose of Christ, why did he come? Why did he come? What about the final? Why did he come? In Matthew chapter 1 verse 21 He says it clearly why he came Angel Lord is speaking verse 21 She will bear a son that is Mary. She will bear a son You should call his name Jesus. Why for he will save His people from their sins. That's the purpose. That's that's that's one of the purposes that he came Matter of fact the main purpose to be honest with you the main purpose the main purpose now interestingly Another reason That people want to say that Jesus came that his ministry was to you know cast our devils like like Chris would say Well, we'll see because if his whole purpose is to do deliverance and have deliverance services for his For three and a half years that he was on this on this earth doing ministry rather 33 years he lived but for three and a half years. He's doing ministry then We're gonna have to explain this because he had plenty of opportunities to to do deliverance ministries and Conduct deliverance services, but they find if there seems to be some discrepancy here and Mark chapter 1 verse 29 through 39 Let's see what the text says and Immediately after they had come I have there came out of the synagogue They came into the house of Simon and Andrew and James and John now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick With a fever and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her Notice and he came to her and raised her up taking her by the hand taking her by the hand and The fever left her and she waited on them when evening came After the Sun had set they began bringing to him all who were ill and those who were demon possessed and The whole city had gathered at the door. That's that's a lot of people young. That's a lot of people That's a lot of people Notice and he healed many who were ill with various diseases and Cast out many demons and He was not permitting the demons to speak Because they knew who he was Now noticed with verse 34 says we don't we have to go in the first but I am but notice Verse 34 says and he healed many that he said all of them. The whole city the Bible says came And gathered at the door but notice what the text says and he healed many who were ill with various diseases It didn't say all Notice that he didn't say all he healed many. That's still a lot He healed many who were ill with various diseases and cast out many demons and he was not permitting the demons to speak because they knew who he was Verse 35 Verse 35 in the early morning while it was still dark Jesus got up Left the house and went away to a secluded prey to a secluded place and was praying there He gets up Goes away to a private place And he's praying there Simon and his companions searched for him They found him verse 37 and said to him everyone is looking for you verse 38 he said to them Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby Notice let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby so that I may oh so that I may cast out more devils Is that what the text says in verse 38? Demon slayers is that what the text says it did Jesus say let's go somewhere else so I can do a delivering service Let's go somewhere else. I can cast out some more devils. Let's go somewhere else. So I can perform exorcisms. Is that what the text says? Hmm. Don't think so. Look what it says verse 38 Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby so that I may preach there also For that is what I came for Yeah, yeah Jesus didn't come To be casting out devils that was those were signs to attest of his power Yes, he healed people that were afflicted and who were possessed of the devil. We see that We see that he said the purpose that I came was to deliver people from sin Because when I'm delivered from sin, I won't have to deal with demonic possession oppression yes, but But possession no When a person is delivered by the gospel of Jesus Christ the works of the devil are destroyed you want to see a sign Chris Lasala You want to see a sign Marcus Rodgers you want to see a sign Alex Pagani When a person has truly been born again, that's the greatest sign you will ever need to see and it doesn't come From your man-made so-called Scheduled delivering services it comes by the sovereign power of God through the preaching of the word of God To the heart of those that God has called to save To God that God has called to save that's it Now that is the issue and that is the only issue that I believe separates people like myself from people like Chris Lasala he claims that I'm not a Christian. That's fine But I believe anyone who knows the word of God anyone who knows what the Bible says regarding these issues and these topics Let them By the spirit of God make the truth known to them and you tell me Who's the one? Who's preaching the gospel Jesus Christ, who's the one that is explained what the Bible says about individuals or persons who have been born again born from above Versus those who have not and then you'll be the judge by the spirit of God and The poll question and I'm wrapping this up In the poll question I said who defended their position biblically regarding Christians having demons or demon possession 82% said me 18% said Chris Lasala 18% we pretty much know who they are But knows what I said Biblically Biblically You don't find Christians being demonically possessed. You don't Oppression and possession are two different things ladies and gentlemen, and I know most of you know that I Know most of you know that and those who know praise God those who don't I pray that you will But if you believe a Christian can be possessed and you don't believe in the God of the Bible You have a different Jesus and most likely possibly a different a Different different gospel so Anyway Sorry two hours in some go ahead and go ahead and cut it But I probably will maybe tomorrow. I was thinking about doing something else, but we'll see we'll see Email me if you would like to Come on maybe tomorrow and then I'll I'll open up the floor for those who would like to come on and have a conversation about this or or the Or the so-called debate I'm gonna try to keep my I gotta keep my time under two hours now For the sake of airtime because this stuff costs Yeah, this stuff costs everything basically every time I Go live I have a have a time limit that I have to maintain other than that I'll be have to pay for extra time So this is the stuff that I have to do to maintain the channel. So you said what study Bible that use? It's my software early tomorrow study Bible. I mean, I don't really use study Bible as much I mean, I have a job across the study Bible. I had years ago, but the software I have is a logos So, but yeah Exactly Christina oppression and possession are two different things and I and I hope and pray That I made that clear. Do y'all did y'all do y'all see? Do y'all see the difference that I did I make it clear about what? But what I was trying to communicate didn't have again didn't have the opportunity the last night But I wanted to make sure tonight that it was clear I didn't I don't want to I didn't want to go the rest of the week and you all did not hear a biblical Response to this to this issue. I believe it is important I believe that we need to be on the side of the word of God Anytime you have a person talking about they got devil, you know red dragon is the devil in their room and a lamb Okay You want to sit under that then? Hey, I'm gonna do is pray for you Praise your eyes be open And that you truly get delivered so But yeah, Chris, I did I sure did I sure did I what I do is I ask people questions. That's what I do I Ask people questions But yeah, but welcome to the channel Welcome to the channel But yeah, that's a That's the That's the issue that we see right now ladies and gentlemen these people These people don't believe in the in the word of God. They think they do but they don't it's misapplied is miss it's misstated and And people are believing Believing lies instead of believing the truth. So but anyway, yeah We always always ask poll questions by the way Chris always ask poll questions always so Yeah, I mean Chris you got 18% what you what you're mad about You get 18% mean you should be good So but anyway, that is it ladies and gentlemen, Lord willing Tomorrow depending on what I May want to address to discuss I do have something I wanted to talk about but we'll see but anyway email me if you would like to be a guest on the The live if we go to if I go live tomorrow Seiko was a yahoo calm shoot me an email and If you want to discuss the situation here, I mean discussed the debate here as far as as far as Crystal solid I had nothing to say to this guy. I mean he's he's he's done. He's done He can't even have a sensible conversation and you saw that yesterday So he basically is it's pretty much Set his own in his own in his own mind. I've already had a conversation with him y'all saw how that went so Proverbs 18 to will be my would be my treatment of him and And but those who would like to have a biblical conversation and a sensible conversation Reasonable conversation. Yeah, we can come up. We can definitely come up We can definitely come up Yeah, yeah, Chris that that was why yep. Yeah, that was why Chris sure.
