Before I returned to the Lord about a year and half ago, I was practicing New Age, Witchcraft, Eastern Spirituality, etc. Charismatic Christianity and Deliverance Ministries were the very first thing that I was introduced to on my new walk with Christ. After I got saved, I believe that God used it to introduce me to his kingdom because of my obsession towards the supernatural. I even went to several deliverance events by a very very famous deliverance minister. Not once did I get delivered or "manifest" while I was there. I can assure you that I dabbled in the supernatural for 13 years and if anything I should've had demons come out of me during these events. Nope. While I did see others "manifesting", throwing up, and such, It was honestly a huge show. I remember that they tried laying their hand on my head and were trying to push me down, I resisted and didn't fall like most people did lol Anyways, God changed my heart over the course of time. He showed me the value of community, humility, and Love. I was definitely humbled throughout my walk and God showed me that it was my pride and obsession towards miracles that had me attracted to these ministries. While I'm not saying that these people are evil or anything, I do believe that there is a lot of pride, idolatry, and self-delusion involved. Many of times, sin has nothing to do with a demon and has everything to do with ourselves. Also, what we focus on is what we worship. It's a game of attention. If the focus is on demons and not on Christ, then we've lost. The deception is to get you distracted from Christ using things that seem like they are important. The thing is though is that demons are real and while I was in my charismatic phase I did feel a lot "demonic" activity and everything that happened negatively, I placed that label on it. However, when I stopped focusing on those things and shifted my attention on Christ and abiding in his Love, all that fear, and obsession towards the kingdom of darkness went away. Love is the Greatest y'all. It's the way of life that is best of all. Focus on God's Love.
It is so sad how we jockey for who is right and who will follow who.Christ is the only way.Jesus said to his disciples those who are not for me are against me.when does God command a blessing in unity.i personally fooled the church of man by being obedient to its rules of religion,when I met a man of God I manifested and was delivered of evil SPIRITS.thank you Lord Jesus you came to set the CAPTIVES free.let us stop being seekers of MINISTRY followers and walk in Gods Love and forgiveness,the last words on the cross.Father forgive them they don't know what they are doing.we need you Holy Spirit as never before.❤
Deliverance is a blessing. I was delivered and am forever changed. I am now being called attend seminar school. Something I would never have done. I was delivered from being gay. This is the work of God. Dont let the devil keep scales on your eye. The proof is in the testimonies!
I was one of the deceived. My church took this turn toward deliverance/demon slaying and sadly, so many have fallen into this deception, and I was too for a time. I have been to Locke's tent for a revival and Signorelli has been to my church for "deliverance night". It's so heartbreaking to know you we're so misled. I have come out from among so much false teaching over the last 10 years that I am now working towards undoing all the lies I was led to believe. I am praying for those still believing in those lies. 💔 We must know the Word of God ourselves so we aren't deceived. God bless.
Wow this is so needed right now! I grew up around folks who believed this. Sadly, for the longest time I was scared to death that if I sinned any sin I'd need deliverance. We really have to take responsibility for our sins and repent. I started reading the Bible after I was saved and I didn't read anywhere where a Born again Christian can be possessed. We have the Holy Spirit! Thanks so much for the solid teaching. I'm sad so many will believe and live in constant fear.
Says the same person who just told me in another thread that these men cast out demons and at the same time, people have free will. If a person is possessed, how much free will do they have? Please think before you attack another who has commented on my channel.
It was translated wrong. Should of been translated demonized. I was demonized when Jesus left the 99 for me. Had my road to Damascus encounter. Was baptized in the Spirit of Repentance and the word of God came alive. Jesus ministry was and still is casting demons out. This man has religious spirits and needs to be Born Again Spirit filled and delivered of Religious Spirits just like Greg was in Jesus name 🙏🏼❤️🔥
@@angelagrant2943 ma'am a born again Christian CANNOT be possessed by a demon. We can be oppressed and attacked from the outside but the Holy Spirit will never allow His temple to be invaded by a demon. Sadly these deliverance ministries are part of the NAR movement which is steeped in occult practices. It's very sad and super dangerous spiritually. My prayer is that people would take personal responsibility for their sins and repent and not try to blame a demon for every sin they struggle with. We are accountable to God. Can the unsaved be possessed? Absolutely. But a born again Christian can never be possessed.
You can tell how good the tree is by the fruit it produces. The people who follow Greg Locke and others like him are not interested in having civilized discussions about how what they believe is not always biblically supported. They are typically strangely defensive, and resort to insults. I personally know someone who started following Greg Locke and any time I raise an issue with something nonbiblical he has said the response is either “well that was taken out of context” or they accuse me of not being a true believer of Gods power to heal. Completely blows over my concerns. I have an autistic daughter and I can guarantee she is a gift from God and there is nothing demonic about her. I am actually amazed by how many Christian’s are fooled by him. I wish more people would speak out on this. Thanks for doing it!
My beautiful Christian niece , a straight A student and 4 year college degree , so humble and loves people and animals is also autistic . Her dad , my brother is a deacon . My Christian friend watches greg locke . She has a stomach ailment and because of greg locke she thinks she’s demon possessed . Sad . Lets pray . God bless . Peace .
It has been sad to watch Greg Locke buy into this non sense. It seems to me the only people buying into this false theology are shallow in faith and vulnerable. They need to learn about progressive sanctification and not deliverance
This is absolute nonsense!!! Unfortunately, earlier in my walk I was pressured into going to one of these at a couple’s house and quite frankly, it was extremely creepy and disturbing! God has been so good to me, bringing me through so much wrong and lies and deception. God is faithful!! Run far, far away from this garbage. If you are a believer, you can be oppressed but cannot be possessed:)🙏❤️.
THANK YOU!!!! I LEFT A MINISTRY THAT WAS PRACTICING THIS… I knew that something was wrong and I watched people get hypnotized into this belief and I asked the Holy Spirit to show me that I’m not following man anymore I’m not following them show me and that was about two months ago and ever since then God has been revealing to me through pastors like yourself that deliverance ministry is bogus but there’s many people being led to the slaughter thank you so much I honor you I appreciate you with much respect!!!
Just a couple of weeks ago I preached on the lies of Deliverance Ministries. A local pastor in my area that I'm friends with has fallen into Locke's camp and has started holding Deliverance services. It's amazing how so many are being led astray. I gave multiple scriptures to refute what he and Locke and others are teaching and doing. But they are deceived and blinded.
Stand tall my brother. I fear that our Lord has given people with itching ears exactly what they want by sending them wolves like Locke. Keep sounding the alarm.
I was initially going to ignore this video but it prompted me to listen to Pastor Vlad's rebuttal. He confessed that he is following Pastor TB Joshua's teachings and I got chills. TB Joshua is a Nigerian pastor who swept through Africa about 10-15 years ago and anointed lots of pastors in different countries. However, his crusade through the continent wrecked a lot of Christian communities who got sucked in by the miracles. now you will find a church advert talking only of miracle money and deliverance. I pray for America and the rest of the world so that they do not get sucked into these false teachings. I am not saying these American pastors are bad people, but please pray for your country and the world so that they do not get sucked in. I know the rodeo... first deliverance, then miracles mostly about people in wheelchairs, then miracle oil, then miracle money, then miracle weight loss and other insanities. The fact that these deliverance Ministries are shooting in fame after the death of TB Joshua also worries me. I myself believe in deliverance but easiest way to discern who i'snt following the right leaders is anyone who mentions TB Joshua, Pastor Chris Oyakilome, Pastor Bushiri etc.
I totally agree. I had the same thought and announced that I will be teaching this Wednesday evening at church on “How to Study Your Bible”. Thanks for watching.
Pastor, I signed up to the Restoring the Foundations Ministry based out of Tennessee. I didn’t realize but think they are part of the deliverance ministry. They have a program coming up online for dealing with “single issues.” The one issue that keeps weighing on me over this program is the large amounts of money to take the class, but also to receive ministry. It’s very costly. I’m struggling with whether the program is legit or not 😢 God please give me discernment as I approach this issue.
Hey Pastor Buris - I'm in Locke's area and just did a video about he and deliverance last week. I'll have another one up this week looking at his proof texts he uses in support of what he does. We should connect on this!
I sat in a revival under DR and I have to say, him being on an unbiblical path is extremely dangerous, DR is very charismatic and he definitely had me fooled. I had to learn along the way that I was misled by him.
Deliverance isn't just phony, it's very dangerous. The worst sin of all is taking the Lord's name in vain. How do we know? From the Third of the Ten Commandments. This is the only one of the Ten that states God will not forgive a person who violates the commandment. What does this Commandment say? It is most commonly translated as, "Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. For the Lord will not hold guiltless" -- meaning "will not forgive" -- whoever takes His name in vain." Most people understandably think that the commandment forbids saying God's name for no good reason. So, something like, "God, did I have a rough day at work today!" violates the Third Commandment. But that interpretation presents a real problem. It would mean that whereas God could forgive the violation of any of the other commandments -- dishonoring one's parents, stealing, adultery, or even committing murder -- He would never forgive someone who said, "God, did I have a rough day at work today!" Let's be honest: That would render God and the Ten Commandments morally incomprehensible. Well, as it happens, the commandment is not the problem. The problem is the translation. The original doesn't say "Do not take;" it literally reads, "Do not CARRY the name of the Lord thy God in vain." One of the most widely used new translations of the Bible, the New International Version, or NIV, uses the word "misuse" rather than the word "take:" "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God." This is much closer to the original's intent. What does it mean to "carry" or to "misuse" God's name? It means committing evil or deception in God's name. And that, God will not forgive. Why not? When a non-believer commits evil, it doesn't bring God and religion into disrepute. But when believers commit evil or deceive, especially in God's name, they are not only committing evil, they are doing terrible damage to the name of God. In our time, there is an example of this. The evils of Islamists who commit acts of terrorism in the name of God do terrible damage to the name of God. It is not coincidental that what is called "new-ageism" (the immense eruption of atheist activism) followed the 9/11 attacks on America by terrorists. In fact, the most frequent argument against God concerns evil committed in God's name whether it is done in the name of God today or was done in the past in the name of Christ via the Crusades, Protestants killing Catholics for not converting, or the Catholic Church selling people fake "indulgences" for profit under the authority of The Holy Spirit in order to skip the line into Heaven. Deliverance is just the new-age form of taking Jesus' name in vain. People who sin or deceive in the name of God not only harm their victims, they harm God, too. That's why the greatest sin is religious evil. That's what the Third Commandment is there to teach: Don't carry God's name in vain. If you do, God won't forgive you. Scripture: “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” - Exodus 15:26 "Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin." - Proverbs 26:24-28 "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." - Matthew 24:24 "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction." - 2 Peter 2:1 “Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words, thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned.” - Matthew 12:36-37 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil." - 2 Corinthians 5:10
WOW! I was just listening to him here in our town Last Night. (I didn't attend, I was next door and heard him!) He said he can Die and "Knows for sure he's"going to Heaven?! He mentioned how this country is Going to Hell, stuff like that. His sermon was based about Matthew passages.
Jonathan you are so right and so wrong. "Deliverance Ministry" as presented today is a mixture of truth and error. There is too much error which is mainly due to bad teaching and ignorance and it needs to be corrected. However, Jesus gave this to the church as a continuation of his own ministry. Mt. 12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters." This scripture follows, and is in direct relationship to, the healing of a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Mt. 12:22-29 Jesus also said Mk. 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; Mk. 16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mk. 16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Also Jn. 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. Jn. 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. Jn. 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. Jn. 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." Unfortunately, Johnathan, you're ignorance is all too apparent in some of this post. You're more of a baptist than a disciple of Jesus Christ. It is written Mt. 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. If your not preaching the good news of the kingdom what are you preaching? Jesus was preaching this long before he went to the cross and according to Mt. 24:14 Jesus expects this to be preached until the end. So Johnathan, take the time to check this out and adjust your theology accordingly. God bless.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV
THANK YOU! I keep seeing RUclips channels popping up with people creating such dramatic displays of demonic possession and deliverance. I find it not only wrong but incredibly misleading for many people who claim to be Christian or who would have considered turning to Jesus, but now just see this ridiculous spectacle. It seems like a cash grab to me, because of course they have like 10+ ways to donate on in their bio and they are selling merch from the beginning.
There is a criteria that the word of God says a man must possess if he is going to be an overseer within the body of Christ! I don’t say this but The Spirit of the Lord says it is written: Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap. 1 Timothy 3:2-7 Now, we ALL know that Greg Locke meets NONE of these must requirements that the LORD says he MUST! a·pos·ta·sy noun the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief.
This breaks my heart that people are being fooled and missing the gospel. Jesus delivered us on the cross and these ministries are denying Jesus work on the cross and leading people away from the gospel.
I agree with you and have been praying for the Lord to show me wisdom concerning deliverance ministries, because I didn't really know the details that you have shared. Thank you for doing this. My husband pastors, and we are over 55. We have been Christians since childhood and were raised in Christian homes. I said this in the hope that you would accept what I am about to say in love. If you continue reading I Cor. 14, it talks about the gifts. I don't believe that they ceased. I don't believe that we have been taught effectively about them. If you visit with missionaries, they can tell you all about demonic activity. One missionary even told about the woman who began speaking in tongues and was praising the Lord in fluent collegiate English. He knew that she didn't know the language. So, you're onto the truth about these deliverence ministries; just be (prayer)ful. The Holy Spirit is active in believers today. Maranatha!
Well said @karens.5515 it's sad if we go the other way like you say believe that all hurts had ceased, your right Ephesians mention this and Corinthians. Yes witchcraft is real, and deliverance. But when money, fame is in it it's no longer true pure. X Jess typing
This is so sad; I have benefited GREATLY from being delivered from devils that came down the family line and curses/spells cast against me. Like most things, half truths prevail here and there. Being possessed means being under the control of evil spirits, not owned by them. It's not as simple as just quit sinning JB, it's really NOT. IF anyone is struggling with demonic influences, it is sure worth your time to seek deliverance. This video is only partly correct!
I have an Indian friend (from India) who’s wife was healed after praying to a local deity at a rat infested temple. How would you tell that person that her experience was false but yours was real? By what standard do your experiences outweigh hers? I look forward to your answer.
The devil has power to remove sicknesses that were inflicted upon others to bring glory to himself. Johanna Michaelsen wrote a book 'the Beautiful Side of Evil' which documents this perfectly; you should get yourself a copy and learn about evil powers. To claim such as you have that devils do not cause sickness is directly contrary to Jesus ministry as he cast out devils and people were healed. Is it always the case? NO. But sometimes and maybe often times it is. You are willingly ignorant of the spiritual battle that we live in. Voodoo dolls, seances, curses and cursed objects are real. Wicked unrepentant whose father is the devil do have power to curse and send cursed objects to others to bring harm, sickness, poverty and destruction. Witches are real and they have real power, just as we too have been given power over all the works of the enemy, but so few preachers like you REFUSE to believe God's Word on this subject and leave your followers helpless. I did listen to a bit more of some of your teachings and was left with divisiveness of greek geek emptiness. We live in the most evil days since Noah, yet it seems you are more concerned with dividing the divisions. I hope you get that book- The Beautiful Side of Evil and educate yourself on the real battle we are all in. For God has NOT given us the spirit of fear, but of POWER and love and a sound mind. Pray tell, why did God give us power? I wish you no evil, instead I would hope you expand your understanding to the full Gospel of Jesus Christ. Blessings.
As “the body” of Christ, we need to be focused on bringing people to Christ rather than getting in social media and professing to be Christians while bashing others who profess to be Christians. No wonder people are leaving the churches or not even bothering to go at all. This issue is a non salvation issues. Makes me sick the was denominations fight and go after one another all the time. Same thing happens with end time. Ask preachers from 10 different denominations to explains the same Bible verse and you will get 10 different explanation. People don’t want to be a part of the “I’m right. You’re wrong” crowd.
So let me make sure I understand you. You are saying that Christians should not be bashing others while bashing me. Got it. I’m sorry, but that’s just not biblical. We are commanded by scripture to mark false teachers. As a pastor, I must not only feed the sheep, but also fight off the wolves. These two men are wolves who prey on those who are not grounded in scriptural truth.
@@pastorburris this person is right about our call to be united and preaching the gospel to bring salvarion, and freedom in the name of JESUS. In JESUS time, when HE was peeforming miracles, HE was attacked and accused of causing disturbance among people. Where those attacks came from? From those who apparently knew it all about GOD'S kingdon, the religius. Same is happening today. So, pastor, be humble and be prepared, the promise given to us by the very own JESUS said the we would do in HIS name and we would witness even more wonders that back then. All this is new here, I got it, not to me. I have been seeing all this in my country (Colombia), long time ago, and when I came here, always wonder, why the Church was so passive about deliverance that is so much needed. I am finally seeing this happening and it brings so much joy into my heart. We are living at the end of the times and JESUS is coming soon. Lets get ready and help to spread the gospel. Remember that wonders and miracles have the purpose of glorify GOD and convince those who don't believe by the WORD. May the LORD bless you!
No no no. You do not get to determine scripture based on your feelings or experiences. You must judge your experiences and feelings based on scripture. I can take you to India and show you people who practice Deliverance Ministry under a different religion. They will tell you it is real, and there are many people who say they have been changed or helped by that ministry. How do you tell them that you are right and their experiences are wrong? You cannot if you base it on your feelings and experiences.
Leaving the message With John Collins has been showing the Lie's and deception of William Branham he was taught to believe was a prophet in the message cult, with connections to Jim Jones's, Roy Davis & many others & this is why still many teach and preach another gospel and another Jesus. Christ Jesus warned many would come using Jesus precious name and were not to follow them or be deceived, it's sad how many are being lied to and deceived.
Yeah, I’ve seen that some of these “deliverance ministers” are coming out with a movie to promote their various ministries. I’ve watched a few of these supposed deliverance services. One centered on a young child that was reportedly possessed by a mermaid spirit after watching a National Geographic documentary. I remember thinking to myself at the time, surely no true Christian in that church or anyone watching this online would consider this to be a legitimate Christian experience. Boy was I wrong. Multiple people commenting on how wonderful this “ deliverance” was. Another event was a girl manifesting some strange demonic voice. When asked how the demon entered, she said something to the effect of because she was too afraid to step out in her own deliverance ministry. This stuff is beyond the pale. We are not talking about conventional charismatic experiences of tongues, prophecy, etc. much of this seems completely inauthentic. It seems like discernment is hard to find in many of these churches that promote such strange and often unbiblical practices.
The cowardly and diabolical abandonment of exorcisms, spiritual warfare, deliverance and the Godly Holy Spirit infilling has caused all the destructions in the world..past and present..God save us now..
There is nothing cowardly about following scripture. It is dangerous to step outside the authority of scripture. God still does miracles, but the gifts you so want to believe in are no longer given to man and ceased altogether as the canon of scripture was completed.
OK someone requested I give them scriptures bases upon my comment - Here we go: Are you ready? John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. - "The Holy Spirit knows everything" 1st Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues -Discerning of spirits-i.e., the power to distinguish between the workings of the Holy Spirit and of evil and misleading spirits - 1st John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.- Only one time - Jesus asked the demon for his name - the rest of the time - he told the demon to shut up & come out of the person - for an example watch God's Generals - not one time did one of these people ask for the demons name - in fact William Braham said one time he seen a black cloud above the lady & called out the demon of death - so if I were you I would ask God for the Spiritual Gifts of Discerning of Spirits, Gifts of Wisdom & Knowledge -to help you out in your ministry - May God Bless You & Your Ministry!
I did an video where I addressed that question as it relates to homosexuality in the Methodist church. I am not Methodist, but I talked about the need for righteousness. It is a sin. But it is a sin that one may be forgiven and redeemed from. Why are Churches Leaving the United Methodist Church (UMC)? ruclips.net/video/dTRMbf2W5Nw/видео.html
It’s a wicked heart. There is no spirit or demon of homosexuality in the scripture. I specifically addressed that in my video under the section “types of demons”.
This Pastor obviously doesn't understand deliverance and is misinformed and mixed up some teaching about demons, for instance, Derek Prince is not the author of modern-day deliverance, expelling demons is something normal. He talks about the signs following the Apostles as a sign of Jesus, the same is for today. The men doing deliverance ministry on RUclips have just become faces to the ministry but are not the authors of this ministry, the Holy Spirit and Jesus started deliverance and it is still needed today. Sad, that the church doesn't understand the enemies they are fighting
I don't understand Deliverance Ministry? You must not have watched the entire video. Derek Prince is not the father of modern-day Deliverance Ministry? You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. I pasted a video below that speaks more about Locke, Harrison, and Prince. You really need to check it out. Yes, our Lord did cast out demons. So did apostles. But, the apostolic age is over. There are no apostles today. Those gifts have ceased according to scripture. God still works miracles, but he does not give those gifts to men today. It is sad that so many will detract from the focus of the gospel and turn to the entertainment and excitement of this false teaching. ruclips.net/video/zzSXcPUN1-Y/видео.html.
@@pastorburris you are a very passionate man Pastor, I respect you for that, but Im from Trinidad and Tobago, where people do witchcraft and obeah a lot against each other, my ministry has helped a lot of people get deliverance from the powers of darkness through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I myself have been delivered from demons that manifested violently although being a Christian for years now. Derek Prince and others may be popular but God uses any willing soul to cast out devils long before any of the men you mentioned in the video you shared. My wife's grandad as well use to cast out many demons when he was alive and many other men in my country, before they even heard of Derek Prince. Also, deliverance is not entertainment for me but a real need in the body of Christ. However, some people focus too much on deliverance and demons, as Jesus said rejoice not in these things but that your name is in the lamb's book of life.
@@matthewlarode378, where you are in the world does not make your belief more true or false. Truth is truth no matter where on earth you are standing. I can take you to India or Africa and or Trinidad and Tobago and show you people casting out evil spirits in the name of their gods. Many people will say that it is real and that they have been helped by those people. By what standard are you able to say that your experiences are right and their experiences are wrong? Scripture must be our guide - not our experiences. If our experiences do not line up with scripture, then we are wrong. Sir, Deliverance Ministry is witchcraft by another name. You have no biblical authority to do such things. The apostolic age is past. God still does miracles, but he does not give those gifts to men any longer.
Only in the name of Jesus can a demon be expelled, ppl from other religions cannot cast out demons, the spirit only manifests or another spirit is added. You know about the sons of sceva in the book of Acts. I don't know what is your denomination but, I realize you don't believe that christians have the power to expel demons today or have any other gifts of the spirit. All I will tell you again is that I had several spirits afflicting me not possessing me as a Christian walking right and not living in sin and not of my own fault or sin. Jesus delivered me. 🙌 I speak in unknown tongues and have the authority to cast out demons, not in my power but only in Jesus. Being able to do these things are normal it isn't a big deal
Understanding scripture is what qualifies me. That’s why I used the scripture to refute his false doctrine. You have posted two comments within 2 minutes. If I have twisted anything, you should be easily able to point to a specific time in the video where I did so.
Pastor Jonathan, you clearly lack humility and have a religious spirit. You attack or condescend everyone who challenges or questions you. Not someone I would listen to even if I agreed with you.
Brother, You can do the video but you can also edit it(cut parts of the video or add more than one video together), just in case you may stumble with your word or need a break from choosing wiser or more carful word
@@pastorburrisou say according to deliverance ministry as if every single deliverance ministry is the same but there not, and ancestry sins do exist, exodus 20:5-7 and Gods judgment can be his wrath along with Satan to have legal right over you,an example would be just like in the tribulation period, you say the dangers of deliverance ministry and this will lead people away not to be delivered from God’s true people, you choose two people and Judge the rest who are not apart of it, and yes demons can attach themselves to objects, robert the doll is a great example and story, Mind you i’ve only gotten to half of the vid before i did click off, Power is something the church needs, if you do not have power than there is nothing we can do and the evil one will soon take over every single one of us, Jesus came with power delivering who the father wanted to deliver and it was done, so did the apostles, they literally began there ministry by delivering people and healing, the people saw this and believed, not everyone saw this and still believed just by what they preached just as the one who has not seen and has believed is blessed

Sir with all due respect some of your information is false. First, watch John Ramirez testimony and things he has to say. Second, what about the book of Acts? We are the Acts church.
Respectfully, when you tell someone they are wrong, it is expected for you to provide enough information to know what you say is wrong and also to provide substantial evidence to support your claim. You have done none of that.
Time will tell the Story Soon - Be Ready - the Glory of God is coming Soon - Wait & see the Goodness of God will be at your doorstep soon - May God Bless You & your Ministry!
I wasn’t going to see this movie but my friend is rather obsessed with greg locke and she needed someone to go with her so I went . Next morning I woke up feeling embarrassed and almost ashamed that I even went . And I live alone . Man I was so uncomfortable . Something in me is saying be aware of false teaching which I already knew before I watched this movie . I called my friend and told her it’s not biblically sound . Its like initiating speaking in tongues for yourself without the Holy Spirit giving this gift to you .
I can't believe what I'm hearing. It seems as if you don't believe in the five fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11), or maybe you only believe in the part where you could call yourself a pastor. Aside from that, Jesus said in John 14:12 that whoever believes in Him will do the works that he does and even greater works will they do because He go unto the father. This shows that the truth didn't end when Jesus died, after the disciples died, or after the apostolic age. The truth didn't die, the truth has not changed and the devil is still working and so is the Holy Spirit. Possessions happened back then and they still happen which requires deliverance. Also, notice how Jesus didn't limit the works he did/does to only the disciples, he said that all who believe in Him will also be able to do the works of Jesus. He also references that people will continue to cast out demons in His name and it will work (but it also mentions how people also need to live right according to his word - Matthew 7:22-24). The WHOLE chapter of Corinthians 13 paints a bigger picture of what is means by verses 8-10. God is love. When we don't have God, nothing is complete and everything is in part. When we love God and have/exercise our faith,, we become complete and so do our gifts given by the spirit. One of those gifts mentioned is prophesy, which is apart of the 5 fold ministry which is supposed to be the backbone of God's church. Scripture will not contradict itself. Deliverance is still needed in today's times. Even the occult knows what's up with the spirit world and that the spirit world is still moving. Moreover, have you ever heard of what happened with Dave Bryan and Anton LaVey, testimonies and stories from former occultists turned Christians, how Voodoo works, or wondered about how some people commit HORRIBLE acts and don't remember anything at all? I've seen someone be possed, before and after and it happened (I wish I still had the video), I've seen a demon, I've interacted with a spirit guide/familiar spirit (demon), and the veil between the spirit world and the physical realm is thinner than you could imagine. Bless your heart. Y'all, please use your discernment and ask God yourself if his will and word for the church has changed just because Jesus and the apostles passed away. I thank God you haven't seen and heard what I have but teachings like this are dangerous. Allowing demons to remain in people is CRAZY, they already walk amongst us. I've seen one (and I haven't been able to sleep peacefully since), he tried to enter me but God wouldn't let it happen (I was still new to being a real Christian and had radically changed my life).
This is where you need to understand that the occult has entered Christianity and it’s another gospel and another Jesus! It’s not anointing but performance these imitators are portraying that came down from the Pentecostal movements…. Just like Jesus Himself said would happen
Why do people believe GOD took a hiatus??? Did the LORD speak and say in the last days I will pour HIS spirit on all flesh and people will prophecy and have dreams "But", only in the first century???????? As believers we MUST love each other and help one another. The LORD never changes. I have seen miraculous visions and miracles done to myself and others. The LORD never changes people..... My precious brothers and sister.❤❤❤❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 Remember, it's the precious name of JESUS that cast out demons. Luke 10:17-20 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.
It is dangerous to step outside the authority of scripture. God still does miracles, but the gifts you so want to believe in are no longer given to man and ceased altogether as the canon of scripture was completed. I challenge you. Show me one person in scripture that had a “Jezebel spirit”. Show me just one that the Bible says has this demon. Show me one single “Baal” possession in scripture. You cannot. It does not matter what you have seen or experienced. It must line up with scripture. I have an Indian friend who has experienced a real physical miracle that he credits to a faith healer in his religion. How would you convince him that his religion is wrong and that yours is right when he has also experienced a very real miracle performed by faith healers that do not believe in the Bible. Sadly, you cannot. Our experiences must not define our beliefs. Scripture must be our guide and we must measure our experiences based on scripture.
@@pastorburris it wouldn't be stepping outside of scripture because it's in scripture. The LORD said don't rejoice that the spirits submit to you, I'm sure it means then and the present time. In the book of Acts it recalls, Acts 8:6-7 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. Helen Shapiro gave a testimony years ago on when she received JESUS as messiah and said that she couldn't stop smoking, but one day, after prayer she felt this nauseous feeling and felt something leaving her. She said after that experience, the desire of smoking completely left her. I think that's why John told us in 1 John 4:1-2 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, As far as the person who geos out on a crusade to perform the miraculous in JESUS precious name, they have nothing to boast about, All The Glory Is To The LORD and the LORD only. Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! Atheist don't go around in JESUS name performing many miracles, a person would first had to accept JESUS as messiah, now how that person's walk is in the LORD after accepting him as messiah is a different story. I have seen many people with gifts backslide. The LORD is the same yesterday, today and forevermore, of course I know you're aware of this and do not have to be reminded, I just love declaring it.
@@tomadrianaariannachristian7465, can you show me one person in scripture who had a “Jezebel spirit” cast out of them? What about a “Baal spirit”? Can you bake one New Testament character who had one of those named demons cast out? If you cannot support it from scripture, it is not of God. Can you tell me of one miracle that takes place in scripture chronologically after Publius’ father is healed in Acts 28? Give me one miracle that Timothy or Titus did. When Paul gave instructions to Timothy and Titus, where did he tell them to cast out demons? When others were healed by touching a totem that Paul had touched, why did Paul tell Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach instead of healing him or sending him something to touch that would heal him?
@@pastorburris In regards to where 🧐 in the Bible does it talk about Jezebel Spirit being cast out? It doesn’t, you are right. But this is written in the Bible, “There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written. -John 21:25 Well the verse speaks for itself, it’s not my words. In regards to miracles it’s said in the New Testament 1 Corinthians Chapter 12:7-11 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. Gods gifts are still given and very present today, because Both Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 declare that God is the same always and never ever changes. He is always good, always loving, always all-powerful. No matter how this world changes around us, we can trust God is consistent. I honestly don’t see why God wouldn’t give us gifts to help us. The Spirit of God works through the spiritual gifts in ways that can be perceived by both believers and unbelievers. Believers are encouraged through the manifestation of the spiritual gifts because they are reminded that God truly is near and is actively, diligently, carefully, and thoroughly carrying out His will in the earth. Unbelievers come face to face with the reality of the living God as He displays His power, His love, and His wisdom through His people. So, yes unbelievers will also see the works of God. -The Word of God
@@pastorburris In 28 it doesn't say casted out any demons, it says healed the father and the people on the island that came to him, ( both curing the sick and casting out demons are both miraculous acts). The instructions were given to us from JESUS, "its in the scriptures" Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; The LORD said those who believe in his name. In 2 Corinthians 12:6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. GOD ultimately has the last only word. ( so sorry for addressing your post backwards ) Why only Baal and Jezebel??? Baal was worshiped along with Asherah, right? In Mark 5:1-20 They came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gerasenes. And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain; for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him; and he shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.’ For he had said to him, ‘Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!’ Then Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He replied, ‘My name is Legion; for we are many.’ He begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding; and the unclean spirits begged him, ‘Send us into the swine; let us enter them.’ So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned in the lake. The scriptures says "immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. "an" unclean "spirit", singular. Then JESUS asked him his name and the spirit said Legion for we are many. Then the scriptures say" Then the spirits begged him" "Spirits", Plural. Legion is supposed to be like 5 thousands? After Baal and Jezebel, what other names can we mention for the other 4,998 unclean spirits? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your points sound logical, but your a pastor, how about some scripture background on your comments because right now I am not sure who to trust. How do I know your not a demon trying to mislead us?
I wonder if you watched much of this video at all. In the beginning I presented the texts Deliverance Ministers use for the basis of their ministry. After I explained their position, I have an entire section titled, “Refutation of Foundational Arguments” where I addressed each of those scriptures. I strongly suggest your question is not sincere. If you had watched the video, you would not have asked me for scripture to support my position. You would have seen it and perhaps challenged it.
Those guys are the real deal they cast out demons with the help of the holy spirit but it's up to the person to have intimacy with the holy spirit afterwards. People have free will
They are false prophets according to the Word of God. They blaspheme the Holy Spirit by crediting to Him those things that He has not done. Your comment is pointless and meaningless. People have free will? Tell that to someone who is demon possessed. Did you even think about that statement before you typed it. Sir, repent of this sin and foolishness.
@@pastorburris I really pray your eyes open. Especially because you are leading many people from the truth which is Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. Why do we need our Armor on if we are not going into battle as Christians? Deliverance is real, and so is mocking other believers. You are reading the Scriputres blindly. Jesus is still here today, he sent his holy spirit to the believers and miracles do follow. My heart hurts seeing you leading people the wrong way, you think you are being wise but you are being foolish.
@@midnightoil8940, I noticed that in your comment you provided no references to any specific thing in my video you disagree with and you also presented no scripture to support anything you said.
@@tmgeske, great question. Each of those instances are demonstrations of apostolic authority. Do you have an example that does not include an apostle that you would like to present? There are no apostles today.
@@tmgeske, the gifts of casting out demons has ceased. It was apostolic. Do you have a non-apostolic example? The Spirit still works miracles, but that is not a gift given to men since the completion of the canon. The purpose of those sign gifts were to affirm that those who spoke in the name of Jesus and preached the same message of Jesus had the same power as Jesus. Now that that which is perfect has come (the Word), those gifts have ceased according to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10.
You do know that The Screwtape Letters are allegory, right? It’s a great read, but we should no more formulate doctrine on it as we would The Chronicles of Narnia or Vegetales.
@@pastorburris thank you, for using scripture to go against all of this craziness. It's causing so much confusion, error, and taking people away from the bible to distract them.
You need to read the ministry of Jesus amd be careful who you bash. You are full of confusion and God help you for your mockery of the Bible and men of God! I will pray for You to see the truth and stop fighting God!
I read it in English, Hebrew, and Greek. And, I referenced it many times in the video as I refuted the false doctrine of these false prophets. Would you like to try to point out something specific that you think is incorrect? If so, state what I got wrong and then proceed to provide scriptural evidence and commentary as to how I got it wrong. Then, we can discuss. Else, thank you for the reminder to read my Bible. Guess what’s missing in it. A Jezebel spirit; a Jehu spirit; a Python spirit I would love to debate anyone on Acts 16:16 and the meaning of the Greek).
@@pastorburris You sound just like them, full of unbelief and skepticism. I know the spiritual realm is confusing and sometimes scary but that doesn't justify you coming against it. You know God is a spirit does that scare you? The last person I cast a demon from believed Christians can't have a demon, boy he was surprised to be proven wrong.
The only thing that is scary is the fraudulent men and women who deceive others through an unbiblical deliverance. The only thing confusing is the false teaching and distortion of the scripture by these charlatans. You Sir, have cast out no demon no more than Copeland cast out the demon of COVID. I do find it ironic that your profile and title, “Put on these glasses” refers to the fictional movie, “They Live”. It’s just sad that you also pattern a ministry after fiction. But kudos for being consistent.
Rowdy Roddy Piper, I have a question for you. Have you ever or have you ever seen anyone cast out a demon of cancer? Do you believe there is a demon of cancer?
We do not determine doctrine by our experience. We must measure our experience according to scripture. God still does miracles, but he does not give those gifts to men since the canon of scripture is complete. You may have had an experience, but if a man healed you or cast a demon out, it was not of God. I have an Indian friend who is living proof of a true miracle, but it was performed by someone who did it in the name of other gods. How would you explain to him that his very real miracle was not biblical when the idolatrous experience was “real” to him?
If a person is TRUELY filled with the Holy Spirit we can discern,2 Corinthians 11 he comes dressed up as an angel of light.delve into the last books of revalation see if we can be deceived,if we follow mans doctrine instead of the messiah.
Some sicknesses do come from demons. Remember the legion ? The 7 more worst demons coming into an empty swept room ? Dear Bro...u need more research to do.
I never said there are no demons other than Satan. I said there are no NAMED demons other than Satan in the Bible. Before you try to correct me, I will remind you that “Legion”, “Beelzebub”, and others are not necessarily proper names in Greek. No, I cannot cast out demons nor can I discern with absolute certainty one who is demonic. That is my point in the video. No one can - biblically.
Before I returned to the Lord about a year and half ago, I was practicing New Age, Witchcraft, Eastern Spirituality, etc. Charismatic Christianity and Deliverance Ministries were the very first thing that I was introduced to on my new walk with Christ. After I got saved, I believe that God used it to introduce me to his kingdom because of my obsession towards the supernatural. I even went to several deliverance events by a very very famous deliverance minister. Not once did I get delivered or "manifest" while I was there. I can assure you that I dabbled in the supernatural for 13 years and if anything I should've had demons come out of me during these events. Nope. While I did see others "manifesting", throwing up, and such, It was honestly a huge show. I remember that they tried laying their hand on my head and were trying to push me down, I resisted and didn't fall like most people did lol
Anyways, God changed my heart over the course of time. He showed me the value of community, humility, and Love. I was definitely humbled throughout my walk and God showed me that it was my pride and obsession towards miracles that had me attracted to these ministries. While I'm not saying that these people are evil or anything, I do believe that there is a lot of pride, idolatry, and self-delusion involved. Many of times, sin has nothing to do with a demon and has everything to do with ourselves. Also, what we focus on is what we worship. It's a game of attention. If the focus is on demons and not on Christ, then we've lost. The deception is to get you distracted from Christ using things that seem like they are important. The thing is though is that demons are real and while I was in my charismatic phase I did feel a lot "demonic" activity and everything that happened negatively, I placed that label on it. However, when I stopped focusing on those things and shifted my attention on Christ and abiding in his Love, all that fear, and obsession towards the kingdom of darkness went away.
Love is the Greatest y'all. It's the way of life that is best of all. Focus on God's Love.
Wonderful and well said. Thank you.
It is so sad how we jockey for who is right and who will follow who.Christ is the only way.Jesus said to his disciples those who are not for me are against me.when does God command a blessing in unity.i personally fooled the church of man by being obedient to its rules of religion,when I met a man of God I manifested and was delivered of evil SPIRITS.thank you Lord Jesus you came to set the CAPTIVES free.let us stop being seekers of MINISTRY followers and walk in Gods Love and forgiveness,the last words on the cross.Father forgive them they don't know what they are doing.we need you Holy Spirit as never before.❤
Deliverance is real. Everyone is not a fake.
It’s just hypnotism and not everyone can be hypnotized
Deliverance is a blessing. I was delivered and am forever changed. I am now being called attend seminar school. Something I would never have done. I was delivered from being gay. This is the work of God. Dont let the devil keep scales on your eye. The proof is in the testimonies!
Agree
Amen, Praise God!! God bless you in Jesus name 🙏🏼❤. I was delivered of ALOT of demons when Jesus left the 99 for me . He Restored My Soul 😀
I was one of the deceived. My church took this turn toward deliverance/demon slaying and sadly, so many have fallen into this deception, and I was too for a time. I have been to Locke's tent for a revival and Signorelli has been to my church for "deliverance night". It's so heartbreaking to know you we're so misled. I have come out from among so much false teaching over the last 10 years that I am now working towards undoing all the lies I was led to believe. I am praying for those still believing in those lies. 💔 We must know the Word of God ourselves so we aren't deceived. God bless.
Praise the Lord you were able to escape. Thank you for sharing that testimony. We pray more will be rescued.
@@pastorburris Yes, I am so grateful to God who revealed the Truth to me. Thank you, Jesus.
Wow this is so needed right now! I grew up around folks who believed this. Sadly, for the longest time I was scared to death that if I sinned any sin I'd need deliverance. We really have to take responsibility for our sins and repent. I started reading the Bible after I was saved and I didn't read anywhere where a Born again Christian can be possessed. We have the Holy Spirit! Thanks so much for the solid teaching. I'm sad so many will believe and live in constant fear.
I pray Jesus will remove the religious scales that's blinded your eyes that Paul the apostle had
Says the same person who just told me in another thread that these men cast out demons and at the same time, people have free will. If a person is possessed, how much free will do they have? Please think before you attack another who has commented on my channel.
Demons cannot possess what Christ possesses.
It was translated wrong. Should of been translated demonized. I was demonized when Jesus left the 99 for me. Had my road to Damascus encounter. Was baptized in the Spirit of Repentance and the word of God came alive. Jesus ministry was and still is casting demons out. This man has religious spirits and needs to be Born Again Spirit filled and delivered of Religious Spirits just like Greg was in Jesus name 🙏🏼❤️🔥
@@angelagrant2943 ma'am a born again Christian CANNOT be possessed by a demon. We can be oppressed and attacked from the outside but the Holy Spirit will never allow His temple to be invaded by a demon. Sadly these deliverance ministries are part of the NAR movement which is steeped in occult practices. It's very sad and super dangerous spiritually. My prayer is that people would take personal responsibility for their sins and repent and not try to blame a demon for every sin they struggle with. We are accountable to God. Can the unsaved be possessed? Absolutely. But a born again Christian can never be possessed.
You can tell how good the tree is by the fruit it produces. The people who follow Greg Locke and others like him are not interested in having civilized discussions about how what they believe is not always biblically supported. They are typically strangely defensive, and resort to insults. I personally know someone who started following Greg Locke and any time I raise an issue with something nonbiblical he has said the response is either “well that was taken out of context” or they accuse me of not being a true believer of Gods power to heal. Completely blows over my concerns. I have an autistic daughter and I can guarantee she is a gift from God and there is nothing demonic about her. I am actually amazed by how many Christian’s are fooled by him. I wish more people would speak out on this. Thanks for doing it!
My beautiful Christian niece , a straight A
student and 4 year college degree ,
so humble and loves people and animals
is also autistic . Her dad , my brother is a
deacon . My Christian friend watches
greg locke . She has a stomach ailment and because of greg locke she thinks she’s demon possessed . Sad . Lets pray .
God bless . Peace .
It has been sad to watch Greg Locke buy into this non sense. It seems to me the only people buying into this false theology are shallow in faith and vulnerable. They need to learn about progressive sanctification and not deliverance
Thank God for you. I'm a baby Christian and was nearly fooled. These dudes are getting rich off this fakery
This is absolute nonsense!!! Unfortunately, earlier in my walk I was pressured into going to one of these at a couple’s house and quite frankly, it was extremely creepy and disturbing! God has been so good to me, bringing me through so much wrong and lies and deception. God is faithful!! Run far, far away from this garbage. If you are a believer, you can be oppressed but cannot be possessed:)🙏❤️.
THANK YOU!!!!
I LEFT A MINISTRY THAT WAS PRACTICING THIS… I knew that something was wrong and I watched people get hypnotized into this belief and I asked the Holy Spirit to show me that I’m not following man anymore I’m not following them show me and that was about two months ago and ever since then God has been revealing to me through pastors like yourself that deliverance ministry is bogus but there’s many people being led to the slaughter thank you so much I honor you I appreciate you with much respect!!!
Just a couple of weeks ago I preached on the lies of Deliverance Ministries.
A local pastor in my area that I'm friends with has fallen into Locke's camp and has started holding Deliverance services.
It's amazing how so many are being led astray.
I gave multiple scriptures to refute what he and Locke and others are teaching and doing.
But they are deceived and blinded.
Stand tall my brother. I fear that our Lord has given people with itching ears exactly what they want by sending them wolves like Locke. Keep sounding the alarm.
I was initially going to ignore this video but it prompted me to listen to Pastor Vlad's rebuttal. He confessed that he is following Pastor TB Joshua's teachings and I got chills. TB Joshua is a Nigerian pastor who swept through Africa about 10-15 years ago and anointed lots of pastors in different countries. However, his crusade through the continent wrecked a lot of Christian communities who got sucked in by the miracles. now you will find a church advert talking only of miracle money and deliverance. I pray for America and the rest of the world so that they do not get sucked into these false teachings. I am not saying these American pastors are bad people, but please pray for your country and the world so that they do not get sucked in. I know the rodeo... first deliverance, then miracles mostly about people in wheelchairs, then miracle oil, then miracle money, then miracle weight loss and other insanities. The fact that these deliverance Ministries are shooting in fame after the death of TB Joshua also worries me. I myself believe in deliverance but easiest way to discern who i'snt following the right leaders is anyone who mentions TB Joshua, Pastor Chris Oyakilome, Pastor Bushiri etc.
Yes, I was concerned about that, too. Pastor Vlad seemed solid for a while, but I was concerned when I heard him endorse that.
Tb Joshua was found to not be true of God. Witchcraft abuse, was his legacy. 😢so sad
Jessy typing
So many are deceived because they ether don't study God's word.. or they don't know HOW to study their bible.
I totally agree. I had the same thought and announced that I will be teaching this Wednesday evening at church on “How to Study Your Bible”.
Thanks for watching.
Amen
Keep speaking the Truth
And don't let those who don't know the truth irritate you
Thank you for the encouragement!
Do you realize, that there are men behind the pulpit. THAT AREN'T EVEN SAVED? These deliverance ministers never talk about the SIN NATURE!!
Pastor, I signed up to the Restoring the Foundations Ministry based out of Tennessee. I didn’t realize but think they are part of the deliverance ministry. They have a program coming up online for dealing with “single issues.” The one issue that keeps weighing on me over this program is the large amounts of money to take the class, but also to receive ministry. It’s very costly. I’m struggling with whether the program is legit or not 😢 God please give me discernment as I approach this issue.
Locke will fall
Hard as he is sadly out of control in the flesh.
Thank you for posting this!!
Hey Pastor Buris - I'm in Locke's area and just did a video about he and deliverance last week. I'll have another one up this week looking at his proof texts he uses in support of what he does. We should connect on this!
My contact info is in the description of my videos. Reach out via Facebook Messenger or email. Thanks for sounding the alarm.
Enjoyed this very thorough and well documented refutation of deliverance ministries! Thank you!
Finally someone said it !
I sat in a revival under DR and I have to say, him being on an unbiblical path is extremely dangerous, DR is very charismatic and he definitely had me fooled. I had to learn along the way that I was misled by him.
Deliverance isn't just phony, it's very dangerous. The worst sin of all is taking the Lord's name in vain. How do we know? From the Third of the Ten Commandments. This is the only one of the Ten that states God will not forgive a person who violates the commandment. What does this Commandment say? It is most commonly translated as, "Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. For the Lord will not hold guiltless" -- meaning "will not forgive" -- whoever takes His name in vain."
Most people understandably think that the commandment forbids saying God's name for no good reason. So, something like, "God, did I have a rough day at work today!" violates the Third Commandment. But that interpretation presents a real problem. It would mean that whereas God could forgive the violation of any of the other commandments -- dishonoring one's parents, stealing, adultery, or even committing murder -- He would never forgive someone who said, "God, did I have a rough day at work today!" Let's be honest: That would render God and the Ten Commandments morally incomprehensible.
Well, as it happens, the commandment is not the problem. The problem is the translation. The original doesn't say "Do not take;" it literally reads, "Do not CARRY the name of the Lord thy God in vain." One of the most widely used new translations of the Bible, the New International Version, or NIV, uses the word "misuse" rather than the word "take:" "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God." This is much closer to the original's intent.
What does it mean to "carry" or to "misuse" God's name? It means committing evil or deception in God's name. And that, God will not forgive. Why not? When a non-believer commits evil, it doesn't bring God and religion into disrepute. But when believers commit evil or deceive, especially in God's name, they are not only committing evil, they are doing terrible damage to the name of God.
In our time, there is an example of this. The evils of Islamists who commit acts of terrorism in the name of God do terrible damage to the name of God. It is not coincidental that what is called "new-ageism" (the immense eruption of atheist activism) followed the 9/11 attacks on America by terrorists. In fact, the most frequent argument against God concerns evil committed in God's name whether it is done in the name of God today or was done in the past in the name of Christ via the Crusades, Protestants killing Catholics for not converting, or the Catholic Church selling people fake "indulgences" for profit under the authority of The Holy Spirit in order to skip the line into Heaven. Deliverance is just the new-age form of taking Jesus' name in vain.
People who sin or deceive in the name of God not only harm their victims, they harm God, too. That's why the greatest sin is religious evil. That's what the Third Commandment is there to teach: Don't carry God's name in vain. If you do, God won't forgive you.
Scripture:
“If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” - Exodus 15:26
"Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin." - Proverbs 26:24-28
"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." - Matthew 24:24
"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction." - 2 Peter 2:1
“Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words, thou shalt be justified, and by thy words, thou shalt be condemned.” - Matthew 12:36-37
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil." - 2 Corinthians 5:10
WOW! I was just listening to him here in our town Last Night. (I didn't attend, I was next door and heard him!) He said he can Die and "Knows for sure he's"going to Heaven?! He mentioned how this country is Going to Hell, stuff like that. His sermon was based about Matthew passages.
Jonathan you are so right and so wrong. "Deliverance Ministry" as presented today is a mixture of truth and error. There is too much error which is mainly due to bad teaching and ignorance and it needs to be corrected. However, Jesus gave this to the church as a continuation of his own ministry. Mt. 12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters."
This scripture follows, and is in direct relationship to, the healing of a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute. Mt. 12:22-29
Jesus also said Mk. 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; Mk. 16:18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will
place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mk. 16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Also Jn. 14:11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles
themselves. Jn. 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. Jn. 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. Jn. 14:14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
Unfortunately, Johnathan, you're ignorance is all too apparent in some of this post. You're more of a baptist than a disciple of Jesus Christ. It is written Mt. 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. If your not preaching the good news of the kingdom what are you preaching? Jesus was preaching this long before he went to the cross and according to Mt. 24:14 Jesus expects this to be preached until the end.
So Johnathan, take the time to check this out and adjust your theology accordingly. God bless.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV
THANK YOU! I keep seeing RUclips channels popping up with people creating such dramatic displays of demonic possession and deliverance. I find it not only wrong but incredibly misleading for many people who claim to be Christian or who would have considered turning to Jesus, but now just see this ridiculous spectacle. It seems like a cash grab to me, because of course they have like 10+ ways to donate on in their bio and they are selling merch from the beginning.
There is a criteria that the word of God says a man must possess if he is going to be an overseer within the body of Christ! I don’t say this but The Spirit of the Lord says it is written:
Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.
1 Timothy 3:2-7
Now, we ALL know that Greg Locke meets NONE of these must requirements that the LORD says he MUST!
a·pos·ta·sy
noun
the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief.
This breaks my heart that people are being fooled and missing the gospel. Jesus delivered us on the cross and these ministries are denying Jesus work on the cross and leading people away from the gospel.
Oh, my! Calling prayer a game!
I agree with you and have been praying for the Lord to show me wisdom concerning deliverance ministries, because I didn't really know the details that you have shared. Thank you for doing this. My husband pastors, and we are over 55. We have been Christians since childhood and were raised in Christian homes. I said this in the hope that you would accept what I am about to say in love. If you continue reading I Cor. 14, it talks about the gifts. I don't believe that they ceased. I don't believe that we have been taught effectively about them. If you visit with missionaries, they can tell you all about demonic activity. One missionary even told about the woman who began speaking in tongues and was praising the Lord in fluent collegiate English. He knew that she didn't know the language. So, you're onto the truth about these deliverence ministries; just be (prayer)ful. The Holy Spirit is active in believers today. Maranatha!
Well said @karens.5515 it's sad if we go the other way like you say believe that all hurts had ceased, your right Ephesians mention this and Corinthians. Yes witchcraft is real, and deliverance. But when money, fame is in it it's no longer true pure. X Jess typing
This is so sad; I have benefited GREATLY from being delivered from devils that came down the family line and curses/spells cast against me. Like most things, half truths prevail here and there. Being possessed means being under the control of evil spirits, not owned by them. It's not as simple as just quit sinning JB, it's really NOT.
IF anyone is struggling with demonic influences, it is sure worth your time to seek deliverance. This video is only partly correct!
I have an Indian friend (from India) who’s wife was healed after praying to a local deity at a rat infested temple. How would you tell that person that her experience was false but yours was real? By what standard do your experiences outweigh hers? I look forward to your answer.
The devil has power to remove sicknesses that were inflicted upon others to bring glory to himself. Johanna Michaelsen wrote a book 'the Beautiful Side of Evil' which documents this perfectly; you should get yourself a copy and learn about evil powers.
To claim such as you have that devils do not cause sickness is directly contrary to Jesus ministry as he cast out devils and people were healed. Is it always the case? NO. But sometimes and maybe often times it is.
You are willingly ignorant of the spiritual battle that we live in. Voodoo dolls, seances, curses and cursed objects are real. Wicked unrepentant whose father is the devil do have power to curse and send cursed objects to others to bring harm, sickness, poverty and destruction. Witches are real and they have real power, just as we too have been given power over all the works of the enemy, but so few preachers like you REFUSE to believe God's Word on this subject and leave your followers helpless.
I did listen to a bit more of some of your teachings and was left with divisiveness of greek geek emptiness. We live in the most evil days since Noah, yet it seems you are more concerned with dividing the divisions.
I hope you get that book- The Beautiful Side of Evil and educate yourself on the real battle we are all in. For God has NOT given us the spirit of fear, but of POWER and love and a sound mind. Pray tell, why did God give us power?
I wish you no evil, instead I would hope you expand your understanding to the full Gospel of Jesus Christ. Blessings.
As “the body” of Christ, we need to be focused on bringing people to Christ rather than getting in social media and professing to be Christians while bashing others who profess to be Christians. No wonder people are leaving the churches or not even bothering to go at all. This issue is a non salvation issues. Makes me sick the was denominations fight and go after one another all the time. Same thing happens with end time. Ask preachers from 10 different denominations to explains the same Bible verse and you will get 10 different explanation. People don’t want to be a part of the “I’m right. You’re wrong” crowd.
So let me make sure I understand you. You are saying that Christians should not be bashing others while bashing me. Got it.
I’m sorry, but that’s just not biblical. We are commanded by scripture to mark false teachers. As a pastor, I must not only feed the sheep, but also fight off the wolves. These two men are wolves who prey on those who are not grounded in scriptural truth.
@@pastorburris this person is right about our call to be united and preaching the gospel to bring salvarion, and freedom in the name of JESUS. In JESUS time, when HE was peeforming miracles, HE was attacked and accused of causing disturbance among people. Where those attacks came from? From those who apparently knew it all about GOD'S kingdon, the religius. Same is happening today. So, pastor, be humble and be prepared, the promise given to us by the very own JESUS said the we would do in HIS name and we would witness even more wonders that back then. All this is new here, I got it, not to me. I have been seeing all this in my country (Colombia), long time ago, and when I came here, always wonder, why the Church was so passive about deliverance that is so much needed. I am finally seeing this happening and it brings so much joy into my heart. We are living at the end of the times and JESUS is coming soon. Lets get ready and help to spread the gospel. Remember that wonders and miracles have the purpose of glorify GOD and convince those who don't believe by the WORD. May the LORD bless you!
No no no. You do not get to determine scripture based on your feelings or experiences. You must judge your experiences and feelings based on scripture. I can take you to India and show you people who practice Deliverance Ministry under a different religion. They will tell you it is real, and there are many people who say they have been changed or helped by that ministry. How do you tell them that you are right and their experiences are wrong? You cannot if you base it on your feelings and experiences.
Leaving the message
With John Collins has been showing the Lie's and deception of William Branham he was taught to believe was a prophet in the message cult, with connections to Jim Jones's, Roy Davis & many others & this is why still many teach and preach another gospel and another Jesus.
Christ Jesus warned many would come using Jesus precious name and were not to follow them or be deceived, it's sad how many are being lied to and deceived.
Yeah, I’ve seen that some of these “deliverance ministers” are coming out with a movie to promote their various ministries. I’ve watched a few of these supposed deliverance services. One centered on a young child that was reportedly possessed by a mermaid spirit after watching a National Geographic documentary. I remember thinking to myself at the time, surely no true Christian in that church or anyone watching this online would consider this to be a legitimate Christian experience.
Boy was I wrong. Multiple people commenting on how wonderful this “ deliverance” was. Another event was a girl manifesting some strange demonic voice. When asked how the demon entered, she said something to the effect of because she was too afraid to step out in her own deliverance ministry.
This stuff is beyond the pale. We are not talking about conventional charismatic experiences of tongues, prophecy, etc. much of this seems completely inauthentic. It seems like discernment is hard to find in many of these churches that promote such strange and often unbiblical practices.
Amen
The cowardly and diabolical abandonment of exorcisms, spiritual warfare, deliverance and the Godly Holy Spirit infilling has caused all the destructions in the world..past and present..God save us now..
There is nothing cowardly about following scripture. It is dangerous to step outside the authority of scripture. God still does miracles, but the gifts you so want to believe in are no longer given to man and ceased altogether as the canon of scripture was completed.
OK someone requested I give them scriptures bases upon my comment - Here we go: Are you ready? John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. - "The Holy Spirit knows everything" 1st Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues -Discerning of spirits-i.e., the power to distinguish between the workings of the Holy Spirit and of evil and misleading spirits - 1st John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.- Only one time - Jesus asked the demon for his name - the rest of the time - he told the demon to shut up & come out of the person - for an example watch God's Generals - not one time did one of these people ask for the demons name - in fact William Braham said one time he seen a black cloud above the lady & called out the demon of death - so if I were you I would ask God for the Spiritual Gifts of Discerning of Spirits, Gifts of Wisdom & Knowledge -to help you out in your ministry - May God Bless You & Your Ministry!
You need to keep reading past 1 Corinthians 12 and get into Chapter 13. Those things have ceased according to the same author.
@@pastorburris the gifts has not ceased wow
It is true pastor what your saying, we can't demonize everything 😊
Shalom Pastor, thank you for your information here. May I ask you something? What do you think about LGBTQ? How someone could be LGBTQ? Thanks.
I did an video where I addressed that question as it relates to homosexuality in the Methodist church. I am not Methodist, but I talked about the need for righteousness. It is a sin. But it is a sin that one may be forgiven and redeemed from.
Why are Churches Leaving the United Methodist Church (UMC)?
ruclips.net/video/dTRMbf2W5Nw/видео.html
@@pastorburris so pastor, we have the same thing here. But, where the sin came from? Just those human who is LGBTQ, or something else?
It’s a wicked heart. There is no spirit or demon of homosexuality in the scripture. I specifically addressed that in my video under the section “types of demons”.
well said...Pastor......
This Pastor obviously doesn't understand deliverance and is misinformed and mixed up some teaching about demons, for instance, Derek Prince is not the author of modern-day deliverance, expelling demons is something normal. He talks about the signs following the Apostles as a sign of Jesus, the same is for today. The men doing deliverance ministry on RUclips have just become faces to the ministry but are not the authors of this ministry, the Holy Spirit and Jesus started deliverance and it is still needed today. Sad, that the church doesn't understand the enemies they are fighting
I don't understand Deliverance Ministry? You must not have watched the entire video. Derek Prince is not the father of modern-day Deliverance Ministry? You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. I pasted a video below that speaks more about Locke, Harrison, and Prince. You really need to check it out.
Yes, our Lord did cast out demons. So did apostles. But, the apostolic age is over. There are no apostles today. Those gifts have ceased according to scripture. God still works miracles, but he does not give those gifts to men today. It is sad that so many will detract from the focus of the gospel and turn to the entertainment and excitement of this false teaching. ruclips.net/video/zzSXcPUN1-Y/видео.html.
@@pastorburris you are a very passionate man Pastor, I respect you for that, but Im from Trinidad and Tobago, where people do witchcraft and obeah a lot against each other, my ministry has helped a lot of people get deliverance from the powers of darkness through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I myself have been delivered from demons that manifested violently although being a Christian for years now. Derek Prince and others may be popular but God uses any willing soul to cast out devils long before any of the men you mentioned in the video you shared. My wife's grandad as well use to cast out many demons when he was alive and many other men in my country, before they even heard of Derek Prince. Also, deliverance is not entertainment for me but a real need in the body of Christ. However, some people focus too much on deliverance and demons, as Jesus said rejoice not in these things but that your name is in the lamb's book of life.
@@matthewlarode378, where you are in the world does not make your belief more true or false. Truth is truth no matter where on earth you are standing. I can take you to India or Africa and or Trinidad and Tobago and show you people casting out evil spirits in the name of their gods. Many people will say that it is real and that they have been helped by those people. By what standard are you able to say that your experiences are right and their experiences are wrong? Scripture must be our guide - not our experiences. If our experiences do not line up with scripture, then we are wrong. Sir, Deliverance Ministry is witchcraft by another name. You have no biblical authority to do such things. The apostolic age is past. God still does miracles, but he does not give those gifts to men any longer.
Only in the name of Jesus can a demon be expelled, ppl from other religions cannot cast out demons, the spirit only manifests or another spirit is added. You know about the sons of sceva in the book of Acts. I don't know what is your denomination but, I realize you don't believe that christians have the power to expel demons today or have any other gifts of the spirit. All I will tell you again is that I had several spirits afflicting me not possessing me as a Christian walking right and not living in sin and not of my own fault or sin. Jesus delivered me. 🙌 I speak in unknown tongues and have the authority to cast out demons, not in my power but only in Jesus. Being able to do these things are normal it isn't a big deal
Amen!
Would not trust either one of them!
Smart
So a person can’t have demons yet Jesus cast out demons. You’ve only left us all confused
I never said a person could not be demon possessed. Watch the video again. You missed something.
what qualifies u to determine who is right who is wrong about this subject
Understanding scripture is what qualifies me. That’s why I used the scripture to refute his false doctrine. You have posted two comments within 2 minutes. If I have twisted anything, you should be easily able to point to a specific time in the video where I did so.
Pastor Jonathan, you clearly lack humility and have a religious spirit. You attack or condescend everyone who challenges or questions you. Not someone I would listen to even if I agreed with you.
@@aubrie_morgan, did you really just criticizing me for criticizing someone?
Brother, You can do the video but you can also edit it(cut parts of the video or add more than one video together), just in case you may stumble with your word or need a break from choosing wiser or more carful word
What point are you trying to make? You don’t like my editing?
@@pastorburrisou say according to deliverance ministry as if every single deliverance ministry is the same but there not, and ancestry sins do exist, exodus 20:5-7 and Gods judgment can be his wrath along with Satan to have legal right over you,an example would be just like in the tribulation period, you say the dangers of deliverance ministry and this will lead people away not to be delivered from God’s true people, you choose two people and Judge the rest who are not apart of it, and yes demons can attach themselves to objects, robert the doll is a great example and story, Mind you i’ve only gotten to half of the vid before i did click off, Power is something the church needs, if you do not have power than there is nothing we can do and the evil one will soon take over every single one of us, Jesus came with power delivering who the father wanted to deliver and it was done, so did the apostles, they literally began there ministry by delivering people and healing, the people saw this and believed, not everyone saw this and still believed just by what they preached just as the one who has not seen and has believed is blessed
@@pastorburrisand you regarding jezebel, just as there are multiple mary’s in the bible so are jezebel, she was a real person in the bible and it is a spirit, although i do not know much about her other than her being a wicked person because i haven’t gotten in that part of the bible yet
@@pastorburrisyou actually said there are no names other than satan in the bible but Jezebel is mentioned in revelation and in the original text there is also another called lilith
regarding what you said at time 10:29 here is scripture Matthew 12:43-45
Sir with all due respect some of your information is false.
First, watch John Ramirez testimony and things he has to say.
Second, what about the book of Acts? We are the Acts church.
Respectfully, when you tell someone they are wrong, it is expected for you to provide enough information to know what you say is wrong and also to provide substantial evidence to support your claim. You have done none of that.
I absolutely agree
Time will tell the Story Soon - Be Ready - the Glory of God is coming Soon - Wait & see the Goodness of God will be at your doorstep soon - May God Bless You & your Ministry!
Amen!!
I wasn’t going to see this movie but my friend
is rather obsessed with greg locke and she needed someone to go with her so I went .
Next morning I woke up feeling embarrassed
and almost ashamed that I even went . And I live alone . Man I was so uncomfortable .
Something in me is saying be aware of false
teaching which I already knew before I watched this movie . I called my friend and told her it’s not biblically sound . Its like initiating
speaking in tongues for yourself without the Holy Spirit giving this gift to you .
I can't believe what I'm hearing. It seems as if you don't believe in the five fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11), or maybe you only believe in the part where you could call yourself a pastor. Aside from that, Jesus said in John 14:12 that whoever believes in Him will do the works that he does and even greater works will they do because He go unto the father. This shows that the truth didn't end when Jesus died, after the disciples died, or after the apostolic age. The truth didn't die, the truth has not changed and the devil is still working and so is the Holy Spirit. Possessions happened back then and they still happen which requires deliverance. Also, notice how Jesus didn't limit the works he did/does to only the disciples, he said that all who believe in Him will also be able to do the works of Jesus. He also references that people will continue to cast out demons in His name and it will work (but it also mentions how people also need to live right according to his word - Matthew 7:22-24). The WHOLE chapter of Corinthians 13 paints a bigger picture of what is means by verses 8-10. God is love. When we don't have God, nothing is complete and everything is in part. When we love God and have/exercise our faith,, we become complete and so do our gifts given by the spirit. One of those gifts mentioned is prophesy, which is apart of the 5 fold ministry which is supposed to be the backbone of God's church. Scripture will not contradict itself. Deliverance is still needed in today's times. Even the occult knows what's up with the spirit world and that the spirit world is still moving.
Moreover, have you ever heard of what happened with Dave Bryan and Anton LaVey, testimonies and stories from former occultists turned Christians, how Voodoo works, or wondered about how some people commit HORRIBLE acts and don't remember anything at all? I've seen someone be possed, before and after and it happened (I wish I still had the video), I've seen a demon, I've interacted with a spirit guide/familiar spirit (demon), and the veil between the spirit world and the physical realm is thinner than you could imagine. Bless your heart.
Y'all, please use your discernment and ask God yourself if his will and word for the church has changed just because Jesus and the apostles passed away. I thank God you haven't seen and heard what I have but teachings like this are dangerous. Allowing demons to remain in people is CRAZY, they already walk amongst us. I've seen one (and I haven't been able to sleep peacefully since), he tried to enter me but God wouldn't let it happen (I was still new to being a real Christian and had radically changed my life).
This is where you need to understand that the occult has entered Christianity and it’s another gospel and another Jesus!
It’s not anointing but performance these imitators are portraying that came down from the Pentecostal movements…. Just like Jesus Himself said would happen
Thank you for the detailed explanation! I am seeing so many of my friends get caught up in deliverance ministries. It’s very sad!
Thanks so much for watching and for the encouraging comment. Bless you Brother.
True believer's can be oppressed not possession.
Chapter and verse?
Amen Jacob!
Amen! Great message. Thank you.✝️❤
Thanks for watching! You are such a blessing!

Why do people believe GOD took a hiatus??? Did the LORD speak and say in the last days I will pour HIS spirit on all flesh and people will prophecy and have dreams "But", only in the first century????????
As believers we MUST love each other and help one another. The LORD never changes. I have seen miraculous visions and miracles done to myself and others. The LORD never changes people.....
My precious brothers and sister.❤❤❤❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Remember, it's the precious name of JESUS that cast out demons.
Luke 10:17-20
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.
It is dangerous to step outside the authority of scripture. God still does miracles, but the gifts you so want to believe in are no longer given to man and ceased altogether as the canon of scripture was completed. I challenge you. Show me one person in scripture that had a “Jezebel spirit”. Show me just one that the Bible says has this demon. Show me one single “Baal” possession in scripture. You cannot. It does not matter what you have seen or experienced. It must line up with scripture. I have an Indian friend who has experienced a real physical miracle that he credits to a faith healer in his religion. How would you convince him that his religion is wrong and that yours is right when he has also experienced a very real miracle performed by faith healers that do not believe in the Bible. Sadly, you cannot. Our experiences must not define our beliefs. Scripture must be our guide and we must measure our experiences based on scripture.
@@pastorburris it wouldn't be stepping outside of scripture because it's in scripture. The LORD said don't rejoice that the spirits submit to you, I'm sure it means then and the present time.
In the book of Acts it recalls, Acts 8:6-7
When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.
Helen Shapiro gave a testimony years ago on when she received JESUS as messiah and said that she couldn't stop smoking, but one day, after prayer she felt this nauseous feeling and felt something leaving her. She said after that experience, the desire of smoking completely left her.
I think that's why John told us in
1 John 4:1-2
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
As far as the person who geos out on a crusade to perform the miraculous in JESUS precious name, they have nothing to boast about, All The Glory Is To The LORD and the LORD only.
Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!
Atheist don't go around in JESUS name performing many miracles, a person would first had to accept JESUS as messiah,
now how that person's walk is in the LORD after accepting him as messiah is a different story.
I have seen many people with gifts backslide. The LORD is the same yesterday, today and forevermore, of course I know you're aware of this and do not have to be reminded, I just love declaring it.
@@tomadrianaariannachristian7465, can you show me one person in scripture who had a “Jezebel spirit” cast out of them? What about a “Baal spirit”? Can you bake one New Testament character who had one of those named demons cast out? If you cannot support it from scripture, it is not of God. Can you tell me of one miracle that takes place in scripture chronologically after Publius’ father is healed in Acts 28? Give me one miracle that Timothy or Titus did. When Paul gave instructions to Timothy and Titus, where did he tell them to cast out demons? When others were healed by touching a totem that Paul had touched, why did Paul tell Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach instead of healing him or sending him something to touch that would heal him?
@@pastorburris In regards to where 🧐 in the Bible does it talk about Jezebel Spirit being cast out? It doesn’t, you are right. But this is written in the Bible, “There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written. -John 21:25 Well the verse speaks for itself, it’s not my words.
In regards to miracles it’s said in the New Testament 1 Corinthians Chapter 12:7-11
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Gods gifts are still given and very present today, because Both Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 declare that God is the same always and never ever changes. He is always good, always loving, always all-powerful. No matter how this world changes around us, we can trust God is consistent.
I honestly don’t see why God wouldn’t give us gifts to help us. The Spirit of God works through the spiritual gifts in ways that can be perceived by both believers and unbelievers. Believers are encouraged through the manifestation of the spiritual gifts because they are reminded that God truly is near and is actively, diligently, carefully, and thoroughly carrying out His will in the earth. Unbelievers come face to face with the reality of the living God as He displays His power, His love, and His wisdom through His people. So, yes unbelievers will also see the works of God.

@@pastorburris In 28 it doesn't say casted out any demons, it says healed the father and the people on the island that came to him, ( both curing the sick and casting out demons are both miraculous acts). The instructions were given to us from JESUS, "its in the scriptures"
Mark 16:17
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
The LORD said those who believe in his name.
In 2 Corinthians 12:6
Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
GOD ultimately has the last only word.
( so sorry for addressing your post backwards )
Why only Baal and Jezebel???
Baal was worshiped along with Asherah, right?
In Mark 5:1-20
They came to the other side of the lake, to the country of the Gerasenes. And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain him any more, even with a chain; for he had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and bowed down before him; and he shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.’ For he had said to him, ‘Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!’ Then Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He replied, ‘My name is Legion; for we are many.’ He begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. Now there on the hillside a great herd of swine was feeding; and the unclean spirits begged him, ‘Send us into the swine; let us enter them.’ So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned in the lake.
The scriptures says "immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him.
"an" unclean "spirit", singular.
Then JESUS asked him his name and the spirit said Legion for we are many.
Then the scriptures say" Then the spirits begged him"
"Spirits", Plural.
Legion is supposed to be like 5 thousands?
After Baal and Jezebel, what other names can we mention for the other 4,998 unclean spirits?

you are twisting everything Pastor Greg Locke teaches 😢
I used the scripture to refute his teaching. And I twisted nothing. I presented all of his teaching in context.
Your points sound logical, but your a pastor, how about some scripture background on your comments because right now I am not sure who to trust. How do I know your not a demon trying to mislead us?
I wonder if you watched much of this video at all. In the beginning I presented the texts Deliverance Ministers use for the basis of their ministry. After I explained their position, I have an entire section titled, “Refutation of Foundational Arguments” where I addressed each of those scriptures. I strongly suggest your question is not sincere. If you had watched the video, you would not have asked me for scripture to support my position. You would have seen it and perhaps challenged it.
Those guys are the real deal they cast out demons with the help of the holy spirit but it's up to the person to have intimacy with the holy spirit afterwards. People have free will
They are false prophets according to the Word of God. They blaspheme the Holy Spirit by crediting to Him those things that He has not done. Your comment is pointless and meaningless. People have free will? Tell that to someone who is demon possessed. Did you even think about that statement before you typed it. Sir, repent of this sin and foolishness.
@@pastorburris I really pray your eyes open. Especially because you are leading many people from the truth which is Blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. Why do we need our Armor on if we are not going into battle as Christians? Deliverance is real, and so is mocking other believers. You are reading the Scriputres blindly. Jesus is still here today, he sent his holy spirit to the believers and miracles do follow. My heart hurts seeing you leading people the wrong way, you think you are being wise but you are being foolish.
@@midnightoil8940, I noticed that in your comment you provided no references to any specific thing in my video you disagree with and you also presented no scripture to support anything you said.
@@tmgeske, great question. Each of those instances are demonstrations of apostolic authority. Do you have an example that does not include an apostle that you would like to present? There are no apostles today.
@@tmgeske, the gifts of casting out demons has ceased. It was apostolic. Do you have a non-apostolic example? The Spirit still works miracles, but that is not a gift given to men since the completion of the canon. The purpose of those sign gifts were to affirm that those who spoke in the name of Jesus and preached the same message of Jesus had the same power as Jesus. Now that that which is perfect has come (the Word), those gifts have ceased according to 1 Corinthians 13:8-10.
I disagree mostly with you. Have you ever ready the screwtape letters?
You do know that The Screwtape Letters are allegory, right? It’s a great read, but we should no more formulate doctrine on it as we would The Chronicles of Narnia or Vegetales.
@@pastorburris thank you, for using scripture to go against all of this craziness. It's causing so much confusion, error, and taking people away from the bible to distract them.
You need to read the ministry of Jesus amd be careful who you bash. You are full of confusion and God help you for your mockery of the Bible and men of God! I will pray for You to see the truth and stop fighting God!
Calling out false teachers like Locke and Harrison is not fighting God. These men are pawns of the enemy and mock God.
Read your Bible.
I read it in English, Hebrew, and Greek. And, I referenced it many times in the video as I refuted the false doctrine of these false prophets. Would you like to try to point out something specific that you think is incorrect? If so, state what I got wrong and then proceed to provide scriptural evidence and commentary as to how I got it wrong. Then, we can discuss. Else, thank you for the reminder to read my Bible. Guess what’s missing in it. A Jezebel spirit; a Jehu spirit; a Python spirit I would love to debate anyone on Acts 16:16 and the meaning of the Greek).
You would make a good atheist.
Why do you say that?
@@pastorburris You sound just like them, full of unbelief and skepticism. I know the spiritual realm is confusing and sometimes scary but that doesn't justify you coming against it. You know God is a spirit does that scare you? The last person I cast a demon from believed Christians can't have a demon, boy he was surprised to be proven wrong.
The only thing that is scary is the fraudulent men and women who deceive others through an unbiblical deliverance. The only thing confusing is the false teaching and distortion of the scripture by these charlatans. You Sir, have cast out no demon no more than Copeland cast out the demon of COVID.
I do find it ironic that your profile and title, “Put on these glasses” refers to the fictional movie, “They Live”. It’s just sad that you also pattern a ministry after fiction. But kudos for being consistent.
Rowdy Roddy Piper, I have a question for you. Have you ever or have you ever seen anyone cast out a demon of cancer? Do you believe there is a demon of cancer?
@@pastorburris Preach it atheist!
Demons are real what your doing is called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I’ve had demons cast out of me and feel a lot better.
We do not determine doctrine by our experience. We must measure our experience according to scripture. God still does miracles, but he does not give those gifts to men since the canon of scripture is complete. You may have had an experience, but if a man healed you or cast a demon out, it was not of God. I have an Indian friend who is living proof of a true miracle, but it was performed by someone who did it in the name of other gods. How would you explain to him that his very real miracle was not biblical when the idolatrous experience was “real” to him?
If a person is TRUELY filled with the Holy Spirit we can discern,2 Corinthians 11 he comes dressed up as an angel of light.delve into the last books of revalation see if we can be deceived,if we follow mans doctrine instead of the messiah.
How is that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit??
Some sicknesses do come from demons.
Remember the legion ? The 7 more worst demons coming into an empty swept room ?
Dear Bro...u need more research to do.
I do not reject the teachings of scripture. The scripture refutes that you or anyone else have the ability to fully discern or cast out demons.
@@pastorburris what about you ? Can u fully discern ? If not what give u the right to ?
Watch the video again. I have already addressed this.
@@pastorburris can u discern & cast out demons ?
U even said there no demons other than satan !! Plz Read more Bible.
God bls u 💖
I never said there are no demons other than Satan. I said there are no NAMED demons other than Satan in the Bible. Before you try to correct me, I will remind you that “Legion”, “Beelzebub”, and others are not necessarily proper names in Greek. No, I cannot cast out demons nor can I discern with absolute certainty one who is demonic. That is my point in the video. No one can - biblically.
