Your main thought about the mind and Satan's fall and Edenian deception aren't Biblical. You make alot of suppositions that is not backed up with Bible verses. Ellen White explains them differently as well. Our Sabbath School lesson of 2nd Quarter 2018 explains it all differently too. Most importantly, the Bible explains it differently. Beware of non-biblically based thought. Thank you and God bless.
God help me! I am mentally unstable. Help us to know and understand your perfect love for perfect love casts out all fear. Help us to not hide like Adam and Eve but run to you our Father. Thank you for your son Jesus who makes all this possible.
I send that message to a lot of good Adventist no reply we think that mental sick people is only the crazy one when we find out that we are not better because we are not living the gospel the way we should its hard to swallow, the lord has really bless you with a way to bring the word alive that no one cant argue with it keep up the good work pastor pray for my son Nehemiah and my daughter Aurelia please since my husband pass away they had turn their back on God
My biggest take away from this sermon is How connected the whole Bible is and how generous God is to help me overcome my "broken temples". I love the way when God wants to make a point he shows it over and over and over and over. He is the best teacher! I really felt called out but thankful that God would take the time to call me out. He is such an amazing, loving and generous God and he desires for all of us to bring forth much fruit. I was really filled with awe at how awesome Jesus is and how strong his mind is and was to overcome the enemy and it was crazy amazing to see the correlation between the grounds and the temptations in the wilderness. When it said this mind which is also in Christ be in you verse. It was like wow that verse made so much more sense than ever!
This is the first time I am seeing the temptation of Jesus parallel with the sower and the seed. Phototheology right there. Thank you Jesus! Remain faithful Pastor Myers.
The reasoning in this sermon is extremely tactically laid out and is from a reasonably sound mind. Like how many of us want whole food, we need a whole mind, so we need the whole of scripture, and the wholeness of Christ
I have been crying for days because nothing is working out for me in this new country even though God made promises to me that this is the country I’d be blessed in. I have been focusing on the materialistic part of that promise and felt discouraged and like God wasn’t keeping his promise. I have been praying and praying and the Holy Spirit led me here. Thank you so much. May God bless you and may he teach me to read his word, stay grounded in him and heal me and my heart.
Thanks Pr Myers for keeping it 100. We all need to strive to empty self, because our hearts and minds and at war with our spirit. God please make haste in rescuing our souls from the snares of satan!
As the Pastor says do not let him get into your head and remember God has already created a way of escape for you but you must choose to use it. God bless you ALWAYS! No weapon that form against you shall prosper. You can overcome all things through Christ who strength you.
This is the 1st time I've ever had difficulty sitting thru 1 of Ivor's sermons_that fact alone is Noteworthy! I'm at 43:00 and I can feel myself finally relax and embrace this message_Wow.🧐🤯
Work towards it. Or, if not possible currently, study the Word step by step for 1hr per day for a year. You'll be a new creation next January, Barbara.
@@powerofthelamb your sermons are always inspiring but I notice that pastors are shying away from divorce and telling it exactly the way the bible describes it and how serious it is. There are so many divorces in the church and I'm a victim a also. My wife divorced me for irreconcilable differences and the biggest differences was that she was a Christian who didn't believe in all parts of the Bible. She is a sweet woman but the cares of this world is what is choking the word out of her. Houses in certain neighborhoods, certain colleges for the kids at any cost, fashion, social media, and making money. Prosperity gospel basically. Irreconcilable differences is nothing but selfishness.🙏✌
Amen! and Amen! This message has brought much clarity of thought to the Word of GOD. It has brought much clarity to what we have been allowing the enemy to do to our minds, but it has also brought much clarity of how much we all need to ask daily for "The MIND of CHRIST". I tell you I understand and desire to waste no time in pleading with GOD for "THE MIND of JESUS CHRIST". This is also an urgent message I will hear and watch over and over again. Thank you so very much and GOD Bless! 😇😇😇
I love this message! I sorta understood this all along, and have of course experienced it as God has helped me to grow spiritually over the years! You put this into words nicely and have a huge talent of connecting the scriptures. Very strong spiritual eyes!! 🙏🏿Keep allowing the LORD to use you, and I pray that He keeps multiplying and blessing your work🙏🏿. The whole world needs to hear these messages. Everytime we use our talents to glorify Him, the Kingdom of God does come, and it's like the second-coming of Christ draws one step closer as we get closer to Him. I only wished you guys would keep the closing-song section in these videos instead of cutting off before they start singing! I'm a big believer that the hymns have a huge sanctifying effect on us as well!
PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!! I thank You, Lord God for another sobering message!!! Holy Spirit, I ask that You will give me the mind of Christ Jesus!! AMEN and AMEN!!!!!
Wow what a blessing to hear this message. Thank you Lord for a message that is much needed to be heard. Thanks Pr Ivor Myers, always a blessing to hear your messages.
Amazing Sir.... I really Praise God for revealing you such amazing connection of the word of God. I have watched all your sermons and programmes at 3ABN... each time listen to all your presentation I blown off.... the words will fall short of describing the feeling that experience after listening to you. May God give you many more such amazing truth of God. Thank you so much for sharing with whole world
@@powerofthelamb I always knew that Adam and Eve lossed their sanity when they disobeyed God and hid from him. I was not aware of the tactic by which that fear was brought about by the enemy and how he repeated it all throughout earth's history in light of the parable. I believe that faith is sanity and when we lose faith we lose our minds. The only way to restore sanity in humanity is to restore humanity's faith in God. The enemy knows that if the word becomes an offence to us, it will cease to be a defense from him. Unfortunately, the topic of mental health is generally separated from the Great Controversy, but the battle for our minds is the battle for our mental health in the heavenly aspect. To be whole is to behold and you shed a flood of light on this truth. I'm eternally grateful for it. I have new found confidence to face my mental health issues and help others. May God bless you and continue to use you in your ministry. Thank you 🙏
Hi Pastor Ivor, It was very nice to see you and Atonte, under the circumstances l, I wish were different, but praise God always. Hope to see you and the family soon.
Praise God for the obedient and yielded vessel that you are Pastor Myers! What are blessing you are! Truth, truth, truth! Never have I heard the word of God like this, yet my spirit recognizes the truth it bears. The Lord has been using you to connect the dots and putting the missing pieces together, to bring across the word of God as a whole unit! The word of God says, "You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." (St. John 8v32). You have been pouring out the Truth of God! I've recently been led to your Ministry here on you tube and words cant express the blessing you've been. May the Lord continue His good work in you! Thank you!
Hi, Power of the Lamb. I am always blessed by Pastor Meyers' sermons. But whoever is in charge of audio needs to please make it louder, I have my volume cranked and can still barely hear it..
AMEN!! Powerful message! Never heard anything like it! You made a statement that really caught my ear when you said that Eve’s carnal mind was open. I haven’t heard the entire message as I am writing this comment but I had to ask myself when God created man he created them with a carnal mind. Why? Freedom of chose??
And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered (Mark 14:27).
1. Knowing and understanding are not entirely the same. They are similar and connected but not the same. 2. Mentally unstable from this sermon = doubting God 3. Good sermon overall pastor. God bless you!
Lord Jesus what you have done for Pastor Ivor Myers former Rap Star and his wife, please do for my brother Clifford Stanford Raper Radio DJ who uses his program to keep youth off the streets.
Lucifer knew. Don't say he didn't understand, he surely understood. Remember, perfect in all that ways. Listen, even a child can understand. He made a choice, like we all do.
Lucifer was created perfect . That's what the Bible says. If he is perfect , his understanding must be perfect too. He fall and became sinful because of pride.
Matthew 13:21 Offended : σκανδαλίζω skandalizō skan-dal-id'-zo To “scandalize”; from G4625; to entrap, that is, trip up (figuratively stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): - (make to) offend. Eve becomes "offended"
So, are you saying that Lucifer, was not responsible for his actions? Because when we say someone is mentally ill we are also saying that they can't beheld accountable to a certain degree because they lack the mental capacity to comprehend the impact of their actions. It is my humble opinion that this teaching is dangerous. The Angels were created perfect. So, therefore they were without defect in mind and body. However, it was envy and a desire for the worship and obeidence given to Jehovah God that he coveted for himself. He knew exactly what he wanted and how to accomplish it. In fact this is the same tactic he used on Adam and Eve. In another sense you are indirectly giving Athesit fire wood by saying that God punishes those who are mentally ill and that the entire human race along with a host of fallen Angels infected by the mental illness of the one who eventually became called the devil are all psychologically innocent and that a cruel God made Adam and Eve homeless by means of eviction from the garden of Eden for something they were totally innocent of. I think your heart and message came from a good place. I just don't think you connected all of the dots. There is a story of a woman who left her church after a misguided pastor told her that God allowed her baby to die because he wanted another little Angel in Heaven. This made God appear selfish and cruel to her because God has thousands of Angels and this was her only Child. This well meaning man made God look like a monster. This was not the God of love and justice she knew and it turned her heart away. So, Lucifer, Satan, and or Devil is still using well meaning people today to actually distort who God really is and how much he truly cares. It starts with the way he treats those he calls his children. Just some food for thought and encouragement on watching how we preach and we teach. The Bible cautions us this way: do not go beyond the thing that is written. We see in part and then the fullness of the truth will be revealed. I am glad that God has given mankind time to repent this is his love that he has grace and mercy. I am glad that when Satan introduced sin, sickness, mental illness and death to mankind's first family my God put a plan in place and sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ to set matters straight. He came and he walked the earth and he healed the sick, raised the dead and oh yes those plagues with mental illness he made them all whole. He demonstrated for us what God had intended for us from the beginning and what he has in store for those that love him. Tami
We are on the same page. In no way was Satan not responsible for his own actions and in no way does God penalize people with biological mental illness.
I won't be popular for this (until you understand what I'm saying) but alot said here is not Biblical - in fact, the overarching message is contradicting the Bible even though he makes some really great points and parallels. I encourage the Pastor to message me for clarification. Be wary of popular feel good messages that have underlying contradictions. God be glorified always.
😳I did not get a "feel good" message from this...INSTEAD..... I got, "be sober, be vigilant for your adversary the devil goeth about seeking whom he may devour " and that's me... I got: Lord, teach me how to let CHRIST'S mind be IN ME I got: Lord, I NEED A NEW MIND AND A NEW HEART. I got: if satan can get in a little he will take root and steal every seed of truth that is cast. I got: One who doubts GOD'S WORD is unstable in all their way. I got: Since the fall... Every one is born with a carnal mind and only a new mind (Conversion) can fix the problem. Not meaning to be offensive, but did you listen to the sermon..? With Which part did you not agree? Pastor Myers has an email address did you try reaching him there?
Really, TM? Pastor Myers is not into "feel good" stuff!! Unless the good news that standing on God's Word protects us from Satan's getting into our heads is a "feel good " sermon!!

How can you pray for a demon possessed Friend ?
Matthew 17
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Lucifer was created perfect . That's what the Bible says. If he is perfect , his understanding must be perfect too. He fall and became sinful because of pride.
Matthew 13:21 Offended :
σκανδαλίζω
skandalizō
skan-dal-id'-zo
To “scandalize”; from G4625; to entrap, that is, trip up (figuratively stumble [transitively] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): - (make to) offend.
Eve becomes "offended"
So, are you saying that Lucifer, was not responsible for his actions? Because when we say someone is mentally ill we are also saying that they can't beheld accountable to a certain degree because they lack the mental capacity to comprehend the impact of their actions.
It is my humble opinion that this teaching is dangerous. The Angels were created perfect. So, therefore they were without defect in mind and body. However, it was envy and a desire for the worship and obeidence given to Jehovah God that he coveted for himself. He knew exactly what he wanted and how to accomplish it. In fact this is the same tactic he used on Adam and Eve.
In another sense you are indirectly giving Athesit fire wood by saying that God punishes those who are mentally ill and that the entire human race along with a host of fallen Angels infected by the mental illness of the one who eventually became called the devil are all psychologically innocent and that a cruel God made Adam and Eve homeless by means of eviction from the garden of Eden for something they were totally innocent of.
I think your heart and message came from a good place. I just don't think you connected all of the dots.
There is a story of a woman who left her church after a misguided pastor told her that God allowed her baby to die because he wanted another little Angel in Heaven. This made God appear selfish and cruel to her because God has thousands of Angels and this was her only Child. This well meaning man made God look like a monster. This was not the God of love and justice she knew and it turned her heart away. So, Lucifer, Satan, and or Devil is still using well meaning people today to actually distort who God really is and how much he truly cares.
It starts with the way he treats those he calls his children.
Just some food for thought and encouragement on watching how we preach and we teach. The Bible cautions us this way: do not go beyond the thing that is written. We see in part and then the fullness of the truth will be revealed.
I am glad that God has given mankind time to repent this is his love that he has grace and mercy.
