1JOHN 1:7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. NLT Bible Good morning👋🏻📖☕! Praying all who may read this, are well🙂, & may enjoy a Safe & Blessed Day, in Christ Jesus our Lord💜🙏🏻! 📖🙏🏻💜🕯️✝️🕊️
Wow really moved by that prayer! Spot on brother Begg to God be the glory. We have so much freedom in Jesus let us walk in Him and shine His truth and light in the darkness. Thank you.
This message is quite interesting; as I have been doing some research on this topic." Demons, Deliverance, Discernment: Separating Fact from Fiction about the Spirit World" by Rev. Mike Driscoll has many edifying points to offer. Despite the controversial material, it is helpful to know one's enemy; ignoring what is truthful will never cause it to be any less true.
I'm loving this encore series. Thank you!! I end up replaying the parts where my mind wanders so I do not miss a word or I have a chance to get my Bible open to the chapter and verse that Pastor Begg is reading. I have been doing that a lot with all sermons that I listen to from the pastors I listen to regularly like Lawson, MacArthur and Begg.
We are saved by grace of Christ! Please pray for me and my children! I’m a sinner in need of Christ!! I trust in God and keep faith even as I struggle to take care of my children and myself. As a single mother things are so hard on me. Both of my sons are autistic I’m overwhelmed. God please hear my prayers. I’m constantly struggling to buy groceries and constantly struggling to pay rent and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m struggling to buy their school supplies. I’m so ashamed and overwhelmed so please be kind. I choose to have faith over fear as christians that’s all we can do. No matter your struggle, we can turn to God. He knows us personally and can give us strength to overcome our challenges. Heavenly and merciful Father, I come before your glorious throne today, in humble adoration please help me overcome my struggles and my constant fear of homelessness. Walking with faith is all I can do! Please pray for me prayers are all I need. ❤
Sister...You are not alone and I stand with you in prayer knowing that God hears you and understands your situation. I pray as we are gathered in spirit together that God will bring about a deeper trust and level of peace to your heart and mind. I also ask our Holy Father to continue to protect and guide your child and instill in her the peace to believe and trust that these hardships are temporary and you have already provided the perfect outcome for her situation. We trust in your word and promise that the Psalmist proclaims in Psalm 37:25 that "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread." And help us all, as Christian your children, to focus on the promise that comes from allowing you to guide our lives as proclaimed in Proverbs 3: 5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths." In Jesus precious name and that he may be glorified, we ask these things. Amen.
@@drivebyquipper Did the Holy Spirit reveal your presuppositions or was it your crystal ball? Quite a cocky lad from most of your comments. Praying the Lord humbles you ever so slightly. 🙏😊🙏
@@drivebyquipper maybe you should gain some life experience before speaking on others hardships. You don't really know until you've gone through these situations personally. Not to mention, there's nothing encouraging about your comment aimed at a believer who is reaching out.
🙏🥰🙏 John 14:1-3 English Standard Version I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life 14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Thank you SO much for this! God is so very intentional with those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. I have had a busy week, and was looking forward to Thursday. A day of rest. Listening to this beautiful message and it is for me. I am called to write a message on sound doctrine for a Bible study. This is beautiful and true an unchanging truth. God of heaven thank you. And thank you for pastors and leaders that speak the truth. And also exhort us to search the scriptures for ourselves. In Jesus name amen.
When Alistair quotes “ and enter Francis the Bondage Breaker to lend a helping hand”… what is that a reference to? I thought it might be Pilgrims Progress but could not find it. Is it a reference to another book or hymn?
Hi, You can find a transcript of the full sermon here: www.truthforlife.org/resources/sermon/the-devil-and-demons/. It looks like Alistair says "And onto the scene prances the bondage breaker to lend a helping hand." Blessings, TFL Staff
In 2019 I was directed to a preacher who claimed, spiritual experience. He had been a drug addict/dealer and was now claiming to be a spiritual guide for other addicts. When I visited with him, he never confessed Jesus as his lord and Savior. First John 4:1 says test every claim to be sure. There are, people, claiming spiritual rebirth, and the enemy is positioning them to gather souls. I tried to warn people who follow this guy, but they refuse to listen. He has other ministers defending him. The devil will use whoever he has to, in order to accomplish his goal.
I once had a dream that felt like more than a dream of a finely dressed bald man who introduced himself as a lawyer for satan and he had to read to me a contract Satan had against me. I couldn’t wake up and get away from the dream until I finally struggled to pray to Jesus to wake me up. The next day I found the ceiling had collapsed from water pipes breaking in the ceiling of a storefront I opened as a Christian ministry as a used bookstore to be evangelizing the neighborhood , my. 11 partners blamed me as one of the 2 leaders for choosing the location and left the work and it closed down.
Wow. Don’t be fooled by Satan. The fact that a demon tried to convince you of ties to Satan, reveals that he is desperate for you to think you should stop or give up. Call on Christ in everything. Resist evil and continue in your good works in the name of the Holy Son. May God bless you!
Whoa, what?! Satan has never tempted me or someone I know?! Was that sarcasm or irony?! I commented what I wrote below because I had not come to the end of your sermon yet. How can you leave this excellent sermon presented in 2 parts with a big blob of ambiguous poop?! Not all of us are as witty or advanced as you are. Peter was tempted. Even Christ was tempted but Satan was NO match for God. Standing 16 feet away from Satan does not mean Satan cannot still snarl and bite or worse, act pathetic so some person who has sympathy for the devil, reaches out to the devil's wiles. Some Christians cannot identify evil and are stuck in infantile Christianity. You told us to seek out a real church and my stubborn self finally did just that and I found a real Bible based church with a very good expository preacher and teacher, and I thought everyone at the church was going to be very advanced in the Word, Will and Way of God and I would be able to learn from so many people, not just the pastor. Almost 3 years in, and I am sad to say that I was wrong in my thinking. I have come to understand the wheat and the tares, and also to understand many not properly prepared for solid food and still once a week Sunday sucking on the milk bottle and marking time for years. So what was that flippant end that we cannot be tempted by Satan? I'm sitting here holding a collection of Spurgeon's writings on Prayer & Spiritual Warfare in one volume after your sermon to recalibrate and get my bearings after that disorienting ending of up in the air intrigue. Only God's grace and mercy protects us and delivers us from evil including our own evil. When I pray to God to be delivered from evil, I pray that God delivers me from every evil including my own evil. You were so strong throughout the sermon but end with that weak and bitter end. You need refreshment and rest from cynicism which is a temptation for those who see so clearly. God does not grace people with eyes to see and minds of wit in order to confuse children.
1 Peter 5:8 ...if the devil is chained to the cross , he was defeated at the cross yes but ....what about 1Peter 5:8... PS Alistair please explain this????
I also found this commentary from Matthew Henry - The whole design of Satan is to devour and destroy souls. He always is contriving whom he may insnare to eternal ruin. Our duty plainly is, to be sober; to govern both the outward and the inward man by the rules of temperance. To be vigilant; suspicious of constant danger from this spiritual enemy, watchful and diligent to prevent his designs. Be stedfast, or solid, by faith. A man cannot fight upon a quagmire, there is no standing without firm ground to tread upon; this faith alone furnishes. It lifts the soul to the firm advanced ground of the promises, and fixes it there.
so if satan is chained to the cross how can he temp us at all? how can he "come knocking" that visual is a bit confusing, so are you saying he become chained at Jesus death on the cross to the cross therefore are you saying God wont use him anymore to temp/sieve or try His people like He did Job and Peter,??
A person can only be possessed by Christ or the devil. Either you are the possession of Christ or the devil. In the same way, you belong either to Christ or Satan. We all belong to the evil one until Christ comes and delivers us from the bondage or slavery of sin, the world and the devil. So when you are born again, you become a child of God and the possession of Christ. Wow, do you desire to belong to Christ? If Christ is in you, the desire to do God's will, will be strong, maby not strong at first but it will grow. I must follow Christ because He alone can bring me to God and save me from my sins!!
Good morning brothers and sisters God bless you all today! 🙏✝️🌄

Do The Alamo (2004)!!
Why do ads keep interrupting the message
Zechariah 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in His Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore, came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.
Softening the Stone
Prehistory reveals stone surfaces
once received the mark of footprints.
Presently, hearted-stones refuse
entry or invasion by what is meant.
The flagstone and weight we carry
wears on us, wears its constant shell.
When heavy, hurt, or broken,
it pinches, it lays harder and still.
It lurks within the dark cage,
held centered and regal.
This stone only protects to defend
it's corrupted impression of legal.
This stone heart, dependent on dark,
That hard patina is unique.
Yet, with the light of Christ beaming,
fierce ice melts gradual, unseen.
Inflated, it's not really a stone.
More like dead casing.
Overprotective, useless, casting dark.
Falling to death, outpacing.
Christ is the perfect living substance,
the needed medicine, the easy knowing.
Invited, He can enter a stone
of obsidian, even glowering.
Pride, righteousness, vanity, fall away,
though the shell is tough in place.
One thing will create a cave opening.
Christ's presence, by teaching The Way.
His way, to lay the across that cross
to cross a shell with tenderness.
Our hearts, dead stones, absorb His mercy.
In relief, they respond with relevance.
Inhale deeply and open to pray
that softened by the Father's great mercy,
your stone becomes in-glowing by that effect,
that Christ make an entry in a hurry.
His light within hearts, seen glowing
within cracked broken covers,
will increase in number, by His mercy,
lighting the way for others.

The swine that jumped off the cliff in the Bible turned into deviled ham...
A christian cannot be possesed by their NEW nature. Being washed in the blood and knowing your scripture is the way
A person can only be possessed by Christ or the devil. Either you are the possession of Christ or the devil. In the same way, you belong either to Christ or Satan. We all belong to the evil one until Christ comes and delivers us from the bondage or slavery of sin, the world and the devil. So when you are born again, you become a child of God and the possession of Christ. Wow, do you desire to belong to Christ? If Christ is in you, the desire to do God's will, will be strong, maby not strong at first but it will grow. I must follow Christ because He alone can bring me to God and save me from my sins!!
