Absolutely so. My mother was a Narcissist and I was psychologically programmed with lies, about myself, about God and about what was really going on in our family (gaslighting). When I started living by myself it became very clear to me and became my number #1 priority to defeat this dragon by the truth of God's word. He let me come across a book called 'Telling Yourself The Truth' by Backus and Chapian, and although I didn't have a human mentor at the time, the Holy Spirit mentored me through this book and His word. I'd journal and pray as He revealed aspects of truth, and helped me to process the lies. As my mother was a screaming monster behind closed doors, who would detonate rage bombs on a hair trigger, I had a soundtrack in my head on continuous loop of a screaming, spitting, snarling, vicious, antagonistic, lying, spiteful, accusing, attacking voice with teeth, which became deafening when I started living by myself. It took me at least two years of continuous wrestling that dragon to the ground, and was much easier when I was alone, as I could speak the Lord's truth out loud to combat the lies. When I was at work it was more difficult, but when I was in the bathroom without anyone else nearby I'd speak to it out loud, and I kept a few Scriptures in my pocket, especially Psalm 91, that I could read to myself. I was locked in rounds of combat. The Lord has been my priceless Treasure in this life, as who knows what would have happened to me without Him? Others with Narcissist parents turned to drugs, alcohol, or suicide, or suffered without the help of the Holy Spirit reminding them of the truth of God's word, and helping them to know the sterling character of Jesus, and the strength of those arms that hold them. I'd wanted to know God in His power, and during those years He showed me Himself as gentle and kind, melting my heart and bonding my heart to His more deeply. He showed Me that He really is the one who was described in Isaiah 42:3 "a bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish". Such a gentle voice! So patient, so trustworthy! He is that one Who came to "heal the brokenhearted " (Isaiah 61).
I Love you my Brother. I'm 62, been saved over 40 years, but just here lately after losing my two oldest children, I've been looking into the mirror, and taking inventory with fear, and trembling. Daily, in my best feeble way, surrendering to the Potters Hands, and keeping my eyes on Jesus not looking to the left or right. I wish it was easy, but the struggles are coming with peace. I thank my Lord Jesus, and the help of the Holy Spirit. I have a long way to go, but my faith as a mustard seed will keep Jesus as my Stronghold. Amen.
Sorry to hear about your loss. That must be really hard. I agree with all have the remnants of the flesh and we struggle daily against sin. We are all weak and we are all but dust. We have a great saviour.

Thank you Caleb. The context and clarity on the enemy's tactics are very helpful. I appreciate it. Just today I fell in sin and needed this to keep on carrying my cross unto God. I continue in my walk of faith in Jesus through repentance, prayer and reading/doing of the Word.
I have just landed on your you tube teachings - the one regarding scriptures regarding giving money to churches being misused, that is awesome. Also the one on Once Save Always Saved. However as I am listening to Real Spiritual Warfare, I can tell you of a truth that I was truly saved, born again, baptized in Holy Spirit and I still had to be delivered from some evil spirits. I recognize that we as Believers - none of us has the truth on all matters, we need to keep an open mind, listen to others experiences, get to know them for who they are before we judge what they believe and say and have experienced, thus we can all learn from each other, throwing out the bad and keeping the good. But, most importantly of all, on any issues, we need to ask Holy Spirit to give us His revelation on the subject. Bless you, you are doing a good work. Keep up the good work. When I was 11 years old a spirit of rejection and insecurity entered into me when my mother went away on a vacation for two months. I was delivered from that spirit a few years after I was saved. There was a spirit of rage that I was delivered from at one time, as well as a spirit of timidity in my beginning years as a saved Believer. Also a spirit of death when I had been saved for 23 years, this one entered in when my husband and I were having marriage difficulties, after I was saved. Praise the Lord. I am set Free!
We are new creatures in Christ. Old things are passed away, all things have become new. Salvation delivers people from perpetual sin. Thanks be to God! We love you, Caleb. Vital information here. Just need to add that Jesus said, "My Word and I are One." If we don't know His Word, we don't know Him.
I have been looking forward to a women’s conference for weeks! Here I am getting ready for it and I started having awful stomach pains and I don’t think it’s a coincidence! The pain passed but now I just feel exhausted. I was feeling great all day. I just listened to your video and I really appreciate it. I know it’s spiritual warfare
I read The Screwtape Letters many years ago, recommended by my mom, and that book opened up the battle that we face that takes place in our minds. Spot on mate, I am always encouraged and learn from your channel (as I am from some others watch). .
I watched this video, it grieved me and bought a tear to my eye. You see, I'm "a christian" but atm am working through a addiction to pain medications. Before I watched this clip I was in the shower beating my chest in repentance and asking for thr Lords forgiveness and help. To then sit down and see your clip telling me I'm not saved grieved me and bought a tear to my eye. I don't think it's your heart to heap burdens on others shoulders but I wonder how much life you have seen because I don't know anyone, "including christians" who isn't broken and battling. Anyway, maybe you could have worded it differently because I've searched myself and discussed it with my wife and we are faithfulled Christians.
I don’t think I was describing you. I was describing people who blamed all their sins on a demon. You are obviously not one of those people and I don’t even think it’s a sin to be addicted to pain meds.
He's not talking about people like you love, struggling is different, the fact that you struggle and are grieved about your addiction proves that the holy spirit is in you! ❤ he's talking about the people who are not convicted and justify perpetual sin,
Thank you for this teaching sir these false deliverance ministries are really full of the unsaved. They need the gospel not false teacher babble. Prayers for your continued encouragement! You are effective!
Love this!! Thank you for making this wonderful video! I hope you beat out Kenneth Copeland on your subscribed audience as you are a very authentic Christian and I believe many can learn truths by listening to you! ❤️
Would you put food addiction on the list? I don't believe the church talks about this enough. I was delivered from porn addiction, alcoholism, and same sex attraction, but still struggling with food addiction like the typical American. Do you know why we're delivered from some things and not others? Should I just pray and be patient?
I’m very glad that the Lord has delivered you from these addictions. Regarding the food addiction, if the Lord hasn’t delivered you from it, there is likely a reason. I’m sure that if you continue praying and remain patient, he may well respond but he may not as there might be a reason for it that you aren’t aware of. As you said, pray and be patient. Perhaps do some self analysis and meditation on it when reading Gods word. Look at the apostle Paul, he asked the Lord to take his affliction 3 times and the Lord responded that he wouldn’t remove it because when Paul was weak, Gods strength was made perfect. Good luck and God bless.
I definitely understand what you're going through i was delivered from everything but cigarettes he left that one i struggled so hard for so long i ask Holy Spirit why do i keep smoking he spoke one word anxiety so he lead me into healing i finally was able to lay those cigarettes down for good. Seek him for the truth behind the eating its the truth that makes you free , never give up you shall be free whom the son makes free are free indeed
Sometimes u must walk it out and make decisions. I had eating problems and one day when I was about to overeat to comfort me, the HOly Spirit asked me if food was my comfort or He was. He then said make a choice. I chose him and tossed the food. I had to walk out of that sin choice by choice.
@@joelmedina3601 I was a needle user addicted to Meth when I got saved. When I repented I quit all drugs within 2 weeks. Yes we struggle with sin. 1 John 3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not practice sin, for His seed remains in him. And he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Need to explain to them that being saved - talk To GOD and repent acknowledging and confessing your sins to GOD in your prayers and from your heart and continue to seek GOD JESUS CHRIST daily, read HIS WORD, you know what I mean . Everything needs to be explained to Babe's in CHRIST
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
You said that being baptized is a work and not needed? I considered the thief on the cross who believed and worshipped Christ Jesus and was saved yet he wasn't in a position to be baptized.
Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

people who truely believe in Christ still struggle with sin / addiction it is a constant battle so your comment your not saved if your still struggling i disaggree with
I didn't really say Christians don't struggle with sin. I'm referring to people who think they have a spirit of rage or substance abuse. They look for demons as an excuse for their sin. I was a total drug addict and a junkie (needle user) when I got saved. The addiction was broken very quickly. I do see that sort of lifestyle as being different to a struggle with other things such as lust. Everyone I know who was abusive to his spouse or a drug user was not truly born again.
Well, this explains why we have the compromised modernist church where the 2 Timothy 4:3 enablers fawn over of their Nicolaitin overlords, however, what I have experienced throughout the years of my life, are out of nowhere attack by other human beings....not a physical attack, but rather being accused of something by someone I have not spoken with for years, and this always coincides with me making a conscious decision to do the right thing, or serve and be used by God in some fashion. One thing in common with each of the people I will not identify online is that they are consistent users of marijuana or pharmaceuticals. It is my opinion that the enemy of our souls uses these mind altering substances to create paranoia and all kinds of messed up thoughts to attack others, destroy relationships and ultimately, destroy souls. Edited to add, perhaps this is what is referred to as the "fiery darts of the enemy"....
In Matthew Jesus talks about division this is exactly what is going on in these physical churches they divide and trick and lead our brothers band sisters to hell
What is your interpretation of how to be saved according to the New Testament? I say it that way because different christians have different answers about how to be saved. I disagree with faith alone because the Bible never mentions faith alone. We are saved by grace apart from our works because none of us deserves God's mercy found in Jesus but faith without works is dead. Baptism is like a wedding ceremony. You don't consider yourself married until after the wedding and it is the same with Baptism. We are united to Christ in that ceremony and which side of baptism we are saved is a mute point because we are judged by the whole of our life not just what we did in a single moment of our life. Compared to God our righteousness is as filthy rags and Jesus paid for our sins in his crucifixion but there are conditions on our part according to the new covenant and that is we must repent and then be baptized and have a change of heart and start walking in obedience towards Christ. You can't divide it up it is a whole. We are judged by our deeds, our actions, how we live our life in relation to others not by simply believing for the demons also believe and yet they are lost. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:24 KJV For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelation 20:12 KJV Baptism is just as much a part of coming to Christ as is faith and repentance. It all works together and yet none of it is deserved and it is all God's grace. We have all gone astray and while God has every right to destroy humanity he offers mercy and forgiveness in Christ and if that faith, belief, is not accompanied by actions then it is no faith at all. Every single example in the book of Acts of anyone coming to Christ they were always immediately baptized. The only person in scripture that was saved and not baptized was the thief on the cross and that is because he was nailed to a cross and if a person has a death bed conversion we can rest assured that God shows mercy to all that come to him from a contrite heart but that is not the same as telling people they can skip Baptism or that Baptism doesn't play a role in coming to Christ because it has been ordained by God in and through Christs example and if a person claims Christ without being Baptized into His name then they are under the influence of false doctrine. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13 KJV
I certainly agree with all you said in this video. Amen to it! However, I hope you have clear that after the moment we become saved and until the day we die how much we are all still continually sinners, even if we become redeemed and have repented and become repentant. It seems like once Jesus enters in from us asking Him in by believing on Him, that given enough time he has to try and clean up our hearts and make them more and more pure, as long as we allow Him to do so and as long as we continue to learn the true word in all core areas like all the Bible is meant to reveal to us. Having said that, I would be curious to have your answer on something. Can you explain why to whatever magnitude we are still as much sinners as we are and also retain any besetting sins from certain weaknesses that we always have to struggle a certain degree with as long as we live even after we are born again? Why do we still retain any fleshly weaknesses, whether they be hereditary, learned, developed, etc., to whatever degree that we inherited and learned even after we become born again? Do you know why it's all never just poof gone once we enter in the gate? Why we will constantly still have any of the same weaknesses that we had and continue to give into temptations that come along and take advantage of them or that these weaknesses will every how often look for and why as Christians we will in some cases even backslide enough to have to be called on it and need to feel the remorse again and again? Is all of this because there is still a difference between our flesh and the part of us that is spiritual in the ways that they are able to communicate, though they tend to influence each other in the ways they do, and for some reason do we always have weaknesses in our flesh in whatever forms that find it hard to listen to and tune fully in to the Holy Spirit and what He is always trying to tell us about whatever situations it is, and does our flesh only still tend to dominate too much even after we are born again because we are still malnourished enough in the knowledge of the Holy Spirit in the particular area that we are always still sinning any and making mistakes? As a born again Christian, all of these are the most difficult questions I always struggle with knowing and getting enough sound answers to.
From my limited study of the subject, I think the reason why would be similar to why God allowed the Canaanites to stay in the land of Canaan after it was conquered. Have a read of the first chapters of Judges to get my drift. 1. To test Israel 2. To teach the warfare. That would be the best answer I could give from the top of my head.
Romans 8:7-10 (KJV) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
I love the lord i have asked him.into my life and to change me from within i belive on the lord jesus christ and the debt he settled for me takeing GODS wrath upon himself for my sin and he was reserected after 3 days .

The Devil and Apollyon are two totally different beings! Satan is NOT bound anywhere! NOR will he be until after the tribulation. the Bible clearly says that Apollyon is locked in the abyss. Satan walks around the world as a roaring lion.
It doesn't address born again people that have addiction issues. It brushes it aside by saying they aren't even born again. How can this man know any such thing? I can tell you he isn't getting it from the bible
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, and you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus by the Spirit of our God.
@@iThinkBiblically such were some of you, indeed. He's talking to saved people. That people can be born again and struggling with addiction is just a practical reality. You do not know if a person is born again because you cannot see into their mind and heart. So to state that a person with addictions isn't born again is simply just not true.
OK my mistake I meant acts 2/38 & Please excuse me I’m blind so I have to go off a screen reader….& Also like to imply i’m not challenging you just trying to get some understanding like the Bible instructs us to do
Isaiah 43.20 The beast of the field shall honor me the dragons and the owls because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to give drink to my people my chosen. Satan don't bow down to know one but God. Psalms 102.6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness I am like a owl in the desert. I am 58 all most 59 I don't go to a natural church they kick me off 99 percent of the preachers lack knowledge the Bible is a spiritual book God is a spirit
Can you show me scripture where it says that? Salvation is an event that takes place in the unbelievers life. It's not a "process". We aren't saved from a process of works. We are saved by repenting and trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour by abiding in Him. All at the same time he's drawing us to salvation. Therefore we don't get saved "in the end". We get saved at the moment of salvation, which is a different time for everyone.

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
You are an ignorant of the warfare Ephesians 6:12 New King James Version 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
"Spiritual Warfare"? I detest that term, we're called to follow Jesus and to continue the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and let The Word have It's perfect work. Paul was trying to give a visual with the armor of God thing but it's been made into a whole doctrine, it's morphed into something almost cultic now. . We are to speak what God has declared, nothing else, because THAT is the ONLY thing anything bows to. Even angels obey when we declare whatsoever our Lord declared, and demons can't resist either. That's it. In the beginning was what? The Word. And when God said "Let there be Light" there was light. Take it from there. But yes, believers can be harassed or taken captive by demonic forces, forces of the adversary but that's because they're not walking in believing the WORD! So much money is being milked from the sheep by complicating things. Odd, Jesus said all He Said and for what reason is it not good enough? We're disciples of Jesus and He continues His Work using us for bringing all things into subjection to The Father. Read the Book. When all things are completed the. Jesus will offer ALL THINGS, ALL KINGDOMS TO GOD THE FATHER. Read Revelation. It's one verse. Not gonna say where it is so everyone will have to read the Bible for themselves.
I absolutely love many of ur videos and consider u a sound biblical teacher but when u said that people that struggle with sin and have addictions aren't saved that's where I'll disagree. There are so many wonderful godly people that struggle with addictions and they are saved. Yes they need to be delivered brother but to say their not saved is way off base. You cannot see someones heart so u can't judge them and say their not saved. Only God can see peoples hearts so please dont be quick to throw stones at those who struggle. Jesus said He that is without sin let him first cast a stone! We will never be sinless as Christians. Can we be set free yes absolutely but just cuz someone isnt set free from a particular sin in their life it doesnt mean their not saved. U can have a new heart as a Christian and been delivered from some things but still need deliverance in another area of ur life. We are progressively becoming more and more like Jesus as we grow in Him and as we submit to Him. As long as we are on this earth we will always need more healing more freedom and have the need to change and become more and more like Christ!
What are you referring to? If you are referring to Christians being demon possessed or generational curses then I've already done videos on those topics recently.

Absolutely so.
My mother was a Narcissist and I was psychologically programmed with lies, about myself, about God and about what was really going on in our family (gaslighting).
When I started living by myself it became very clear to me and became my number #1 priority to defeat this dragon by the truth of God's word.
He let me come across a book called 'Telling Yourself The Truth' by Backus and Chapian, and although I didn't have a human mentor at the time, the Holy Spirit mentored me through this book and His word.
I'd journal and pray as He revealed aspects of truth, and helped me to process the lies.
As my mother was a screaming monster behind closed doors, who would detonate rage bombs on a hair trigger, I had a soundtrack in my head on continuous loop of a screaming, spitting, snarling, vicious, antagonistic, lying, spiteful, accusing, attacking voice with teeth, which became deafening when I started living by myself.
It took me at least two years of continuous wrestling that dragon to the ground, and was much easier when I was alone, as I could speak the Lord's truth out loud to combat the lies.

Thank you for bringing up generational curses…I see comments from many people talking about that God bless you
Yeah I did a video on it a few weeks ago :)
@@iThinkBiblically I need to watch it🙏🙏
I just want to say that I absolutely love your videos!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
Thanks Suzi!
I have just landed on your you tube teachings - the one regarding scriptures regarding giving money to churches being misused, that is awesome. Also the one on Once Save Always Saved. However as I am listening to Real Spiritual Warfare, I can tell you of a truth that I was truly saved, born again, baptized in Holy Spirit and I still had to be delivered from some evil spirits. I recognize that we as Believers - none of us has the truth on all matters, we need to keep an open mind, listen to others experiences, get to know them for who they are before we judge what they believe and say and have experienced, thus we can all learn from each other, throwing out the bad and keeping the good. But, most importantly of all, on any issues, we need to ask Holy Spirit to give us His revelation on the subject. Bless you, you are doing a good work.
Keep up the good work. When I was 11 years old a spirit of rejection and insecurity entered into me when my mother went away on a vacation for two months. I was delivered from that spirit a few years after I was saved. There was a spirit of rage that I was delivered from at one time, as well as a spirit of timidity in my beginning years as a saved Believer. Also a spirit of death when I had been saved for 23 years, this one entered in when my husband and I were having marriage difficulties, after I was saved. Praise the Lord. I am set Free!
All Glory to Almighty God in Christ Jesus name through the Power of His Holy Spirit Amen and Amen
👍 great teaching
We are new creatures in Christ. Old things are passed away, all things have become new. Salvation delivers people from perpetual sin. Thanks be to God! We love you, Caleb. Vital information here. Just need to add that Jesus said, "My Word and I are One." If we don't know His Word, we don't know Him.
God bless your heart for other believers bro
Thanks brother :)
I have been looking forward to a women’s conference for weeks! Here I am getting ready for it and I started having awful stomach pains and I don’t think it’s a coincidence! The pain passed but now I just feel exhausted. I was feeling great all day. I just listened to your video and I really appreciate it. I know it’s spiritual warfare
Excellent teaching! Thank you brother!
Thanks mate! Great first name by the way :)

Need to be delivered from myself
We all do daily! ❤
Well done brother , you are a true preacher of the Gospel ,very greatful to have come across your channel!
Keep teaching its awesome
God bless you 🙏
You must do a teaching on syncretism! This is big among believers who claim: “we’re doing it for Jesus” to justify doing what they want!
I watched this video, it grieved me and bought a tear to my eye. You see, I'm "a christian" but atm am working through a addiction to pain medications. Before I watched this clip I was in the shower beating my chest in repentance and asking for thr Lords forgiveness and help. To then sit down and see your clip telling me I'm not saved grieved me and bought a tear to my eye. I don't think it's your heart to heap burdens on others shoulders but I wonder how much life you have seen because I don't know anyone, "including christians" who isn't broken and battling. Anyway, maybe you could have worded it differently because I've searched myself and discussed it with my wife and we are faithfulled Christians.
I don’t think I was describing you. I was describing people who blamed all their sins on a demon. You are obviously not one of those people and I don’t even think it’s a sin to be addicted to pain meds.
He's not talking about people like you love, struggling is different, the fact that you struggle and are grieved about your addiction proves that the holy spirit is in you! ❤ he's talking about the people who are not convicted and justify perpetual sin,
Stand against the wiles of the devil with The Word of God.
Clear, well done, and much needed video! Thank you!
Thanks Deanne!

Would you put food addiction on the list? I don't believe the church talks about this enough.
I was delivered from porn addiction, alcoholism, and same sex attraction, but still struggling with food addiction like the typical American.
Do you know why we're delivered from some things and not others? Should I just pray and be patient?
I’m very glad that the Lord has delivered you from these addictions. Regarding the food addiction, if the Lord hasn’t delivered you from it, there is likely a reason. I’m sure that if you continue praying and remain patient, he may well respond but he may not as there might be a reason for it that you aren’t aware of. As you said, pray and be patient. Perhaps do some self analysis and meditation on it when reading Gods word. Look at the apostle Paul, he asked the Lord to take his affliction 3 times and the Lord responded that he wouldn’t remove it because when Paul was weak, Gods strength was made perfect. Good luck and God bless.
I definitely understand what you're going through i was delivered from everything but cigarettes he left that one i struggled so hard for so long i ask Holy Spirit why do i keep smoking he spoke one word anxiety so he lead me into healing i finally was able to lay those cigarettes down for good. Seek him for the truth behind the eating its the truth that makes you free , never give up you shall be free whom the son makes free are free indeed
Sometimes u must walk it out and make decisions. I had eating problems and one day when I was about to overeat to comfort me, the HOly Spirit asked me if food was my comfort or He was. He then said make a choice. I chose him and tossed the food. I had to walk out of that sin choice by choice.
@@markthomas36 Sometimes, I wonder about this myself.
It definitely helps me to be humble.
@@DebbieD7777 Thank you for this reminder❤️
Do you believe a Christian can struggle with addictions?
Sure but they will overcome. I was a junkie when I got saved.
@@iThinkBiblically what do you mean?
He's confusing
@@joelmedina3601 I was a needle user addicted to Meth when I got saved. When I repented I quit all drugs within 2 weeks.

Great needed Bibical commentary
Need to explain to them that being saved - talk To GOD and repent acknowledging and confessing your sins to GOD in your prayers and from your heart and continue to seek GOD JESUS CHRIST daily, read HIS WORD, you know what I mean . Everything needs to be explained to Babe's in CHRIST
This is excellent

Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Corinthians 6:11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
You said that being baptized is a work and not needed?
I considered the thief on the cross who believed and worshipped Christ Jesus and was saved yet he wasn't in a position to be baptized.

people who truely believe in Christ still struggle with sin / addiction it is a constant battle so your comment your not saved if your still struggling i disaggree with
I didn't really say Christians don't struggle with sin. I'm referring to people who think they have a spirit of rage or substance abuse. They look for demons as an excuse for their sin. I was a total drug addict and a junkie (needle user) when I got saved. The addiction was broken very quickly. I do see that sort of lifestyle as being different to a struggle with other things such as lust. Everyone I know who was abusive to his spouse or a drug user was not truly born again.
Well, this explains why we have the compromised modernist church where the 2 Timothy 4:3 enablers fawn over of their Nicolaitin overlords, however, what I have experienced throughout the years of my life, are out of nowhere attack by other human beings....not a physical attack, but rather being accused of something by someone I have not spoken with for years, and this always coincides with me making a conscious decision to do the right thing, or serve and be used by God in some fashion. One thing in common with each of the people I will not identify online is that they are consistent users of marijuana or pharmaceuticals. It is my opinion that the enemy of our souls uses these mind altering substances to create paranoia and all kinds of messed up thoughts to attack others, destroy relationships and ultimately, destroy souls. Edited to add, perhaps this is what is referred to as the "fiery darts of the enemy"....
Amen 🙏🇿🇦
How to get saved ? How to be Born Again ? 😞
In Matthew Jesus talks about division this is exactly what is going on in these physical churches they divide and trick and lead our brothers band sisters to hell
May God bless all my brothers and sisters resist the devil so he will flee
What is your interpretation of how to be saved according to the New Testament? I say it that way because different christians have different answers about how to be saved. I disagree with faith alone because the Bible never mentions faith alone. We are saved by grace apart from our works because none of us deserves God's mercy found in Jesus but faith without works is dead. Baptism is like a wedding ceremony. You don't consider yourself married until after the wedding and it is the same with Baptism. We are united to Christ in that ceremony and which side of baptism we are saved is a mute point because we are judged by the whole of our life not just what we did in a single moment of our life. Compared to God our righteousness is as filthy rags and Jesus paid for our sins in his crucifixion but there are conditions on our part according to the new covenant and that is we must repent and then be baptized and have a change of heart and start walking in obedience towards Christ. You can't divide it up it is a whole. We are judged by our deeds, our actions, how we live our life in relation to others not by simply believing for the demons also believe and yet they are lost.
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2:24 KJV
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10 KJV
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:12 KJV
Baptism is just as much a part of coming to Christ as is faith and repentance. It all works together and yet none of it is deserved and it is all God's grace. We have all gone astray and while God has every right to destroy humanity he offers mercy and forgiveness in Christ and if that faith, belief, is not accompanied by actions then it is no faith at all. Every single example in the book of Acts of anyone coming to Christ they were always immediately baptized. The only person in scripture that was saved and not baptized was the thief on the cross and that is because he was nailed to a cross and if a person has a death bed conversion we can rest assured that God shows mercy to all that come to him from a contrite heart but that is not the same as telling people they can skip Baptism or that Baptism doesn't play a role in coming to Christ because it has been ordained by God in and through Christs example and if a person claims Christ without being Baptized into His name then they are under the influence of false doctrine.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 24:13 KJV
I certainly agree with all you said in this video. Amen to it!
However, I hope you have clear that after the moment we become saved and until the day we die how much we are all still continually sinners, even if we become redeemed and have repented and become repentant. It seems like once Jesus enters in from us asking Him in by believing on Him, that given enough time he has to try and clean up our hearts and make them more and more pure, as long as we allow Him to do so and as long as we continue to learn the true word in all core areas like all the Bible is meant to reveal to us.
Having said that, I would be curious to have your answer on something. Can you explain why to whatever magnitude we are still as much sinners as we are and also retain any besetting sins from certain weaknesses that we always have to struggle a certain degree with as long as we live even after we are born again? Why do we still retain any fleshly weaknesses, whether they be hereditary, learned, developed, etc., to whatever degree that we inherited and learned even after we become born again? Do you know why it's all never just poof gone once we enter in the gate? Why we will constantly still have any of the same weaknesses that we had and continue to give into temptations that come along and take advantage of them or that these weaknesses will every how often look for and why as Christians we will in some cases even backslide enough to have to be called on it and need to feel the remorse again and again? Is all of this because there is still a difference between our flesh and the part of us that is spiritual in the ways that they are able to communicate, though they tend to influence each other in the ways they do, and for some reason do we always have weaknesses in our flesh in whatever forms that find it hard to listen to and tune fully in to the Holy Spirit and what He is always trying to tell us about whatever situations it is, and does our flesh only still tend to dominate too much even after we are born again because we are still malnourished enough in the knowledge of the Holy Spirit in the particular area that we are always still sinning any and making mistakes?
As a born again Christian, all of these are the most difficult questions I always struggle with knowing and getting enough sound answers to.
From my limited study of the subject, I think the reason why would be similar to why God allowed the Canaanites to stay in the land of Canaan after it was conquered. Have a read of the first chapters of Judges to get my drift. 1. To test Israel 2. To teach the warfare. That would be the best answer I could give from the top of my head.
Romans 8:7-10 (KJV) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

It doesn't address born again people that have addiction issues. It brushes it aside by saying they aren't even born again. How can this man know any such thing? I can tell you he isn't getting it from the bible
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, and you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus by the Spirit of our God.
@@iThinkBiblically such were some of you, indeed. He's talking to saved people. That people can be born again and struggling with addiction is just a practical reality. You do not know if a person is born again because you cannot see into their mind and heart. So to state that a person with addictions isn't born again is simply just not true.
@@ELishaJesus1980 So, you agree that he is talking about people who are no longer living that way? Or are they still living that way?

hi
Salvation is a process and no one is saved until told so by Jesus Christ Himself upon seeing Him face to face.
True! We are saved "in the end".
Can you show me scripture where it says that? Salvation is an event that takes place in the unbelievers life. It's not a "process". We aren't saved from a process of works. We are saved by repenting and trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour by abiding in Him. All at the same time he's drawing us to salvation. Therefore we don't get saved "in the end". We get saved at the moment of salvation, which is a different time for everyone.

"Spiritual Warfare"? I detest that term, we're called to follow Jesus and to continue the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and let The Word have It's perfect work.
Paul was trying to give a visual with the armor of God thing but it's been made into a whole doctrine, it's morphed into something almost cultic now. .
We are to speak what God has declared, nothing else, because THAT is the ONLY thing anything bows to. Even angels obey when we declare whatsoever our Lord declared, and demons can't resist either. That's it.
In the beginning was what? The Word. And when God said "Let there be Light" there was light. Take it from there.
But yes, believers can be harassed or taken captive by demonic forces, forces of the adversary but that's because they're not walking in believing the WORD!
So much money is being milked from the sheep by complicating things.
Odd, Jesus said all He Said and for what reason is it not good enough?
We're disciples of Jesus and He continues His Work using us for bringing all things into subjection to The Father. Read the Book. When all things are completed the. Jesus will offer ALL THINGS, ALL KINGDOMS TO GOD THE FATHER. Read Revelation. It's one verse. Not gonna say where it is so everyone will have to read the Bible for themselves.
I absolutely love many of ur videos and consider u a sound biblical teacher but when u said that people that struggle with sin and have addictions aren't saved that's where I'll disagree. There are so many wonderful godly people that struggle with addictions and they are saved. Yes they need to be delivered brother but to say their not saved is way off base. You cannot see someones heart so u can't judge them and say their not saved. Only God can see peoples hearts so please dont be quick to throw stones at those who struggle. Jesus said He that is without sin let him first cast a stone! We will never be sinless as Christians. Can we be set free yes absolutely but just cuz someone isnt set free from a particular sin in their life it doesnt mean their not saved. U can have a new heart as a Christian and been delivered from some things but still need deliverance in another area of ur life. We are progressively becoming more and more like Jesus as we grow in Him and as we submit to Him. As long as we are on this earth we will always need more healing more freedom and have the need to change and become more and more like Christ!
I probably could have worded it better.

Lots of opinions brother. Your estimations in your opening remarks you have not proficiently, biblicaly qualified why you have such beliefs.
