Mind Reading, Demonic Possession: the Bible on Demons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2020
- The Bible says a lot about demons, but as you read a passage you might have more questions like: Can demons read your mind? What powers do they really have? The truth about demons is far stranger, and more fascinating, than many have been lead to believe. In this video, I interview scholar Michael Heiser, author of DEMONS: WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY SAYS ABOUT THE POWERS OF DARKNESS. We take live questions too.

I am a black South African woman. Had it not been for Dr Heiser's teaching during a very crucial time in my life, I wouldve handed myslef over to ancestral worship and forfeited my salvation in an attempt to save my own life. I thank God for what was revealed to this man, and that he lived long enough to share it with me... my he rest in peace
I'm seeing a revival or something with people wanting to talk to and worship their ancestors
@gandalfstormcrow5434 that is true. the music industry is playing a big part in that. Along with the trend in politics of black people "reclaiming" their identity by rejecting the white people and "their" God
It’s so beautiful to see the lengths that God Himself will go to just to claim his fallen children. I’m so glad he’s won your soul and placed your life in His hands. God bless you!
@@gandalfstormcrow5434 it never stopped. It’s been going on for millennial. We just didn’t see it. We were so preoccupied with the distractions…Satan brings in this world. “Satan is the god of this world.”
~Word
WOW! So you follow the religion of Dr Hendrik Verwoerd?!?!?!?!
Michael Heiser will be greatly missed. One of the greatest theologians of our time
Yes 💔
Till we meet again 🙏🏽
@@orionhart8857 on 2-20-23 he was called home to the Unseen Realm after fighting pancreatic cancer for 2 years. He made shorts from his bed while on hospice during his last month. An amazing man with an amazing legacies.
@@nanadeborah8717 So saddened by this news, Thank you for the update. Our loss is Heaven’s gain
Amen to that. Never met the man... But he's really taught me more in the last 5 years than every pastor I've ever known.
Oh no. I am really sorry to hear of his passing. He will be very missed!
I’m so grateful I found this channel… I was raised in a Christian household and they used the name of Jesus to abuse me. Years later now at ago 58 I have been led to Jesus on my own. I just purchased the Demons audible book. I ask for prayers that I continue on my newly Christian path. 🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I just found this website several months ago myself and had absolutely NO IDEA that Dr. Michael Heiser went on to be with the Lord!!! He was, and still IS, absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!
I ask the Holy Spirit guide your steps and he will expose you to Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding. Seek the Holy Ghost by the evidence off speaking in tongues…He will pray for your needs and request what your needs are. Look up my terms I mentioned on “Google” to give you more details if you don’t understand my encouragement.
He has “The Unseen Realm” & “Angels” too now,..among others.
Uh@@barbaraarmann5698
Thank you for this discussion, I've had several demonic in counteres, even to the point of physical manifestations, they always flee at the Name of Jesus. It's good to know I'm not alone
That obviously wouldn’t have been a pleasant experience, I can’t help but wonder how or why you ended up actually experiencing physical manifestations of Demonic Beings? Non physical Spiritual warfare is bad enough.
RIP Dr. Michael Heiser. The man taught me so much that my church did not.
Teach your church leaders. We have been dumbed down on purpose.
@@leejennifercorlewayres9193 They are not interested in learning any of this. They are too busy pushing their own agenda.
'RIP' is a commonly used phrase by well meaning people however Dr H would be the first to tell you it is scripturally indefensible, not found or implied.
He is correct
@@Icare4uboo which 'he'' is correct? I sometimes read a reply to another's comment, thanks Lori
As an interviewer, I’m so Glad to see that Sean didn’t constantly interrupt or redirect Heiser and gave him the freedom of long form detailed answers and explanations. Good job Sean. When you’re a smart man like Sean, you don’t have to constantly interject to flex your intellect. Nice job, Sean.
Same! Too many people who invite him on never have the sense or grace to actually let him talk, but instead keep interrupting and talking over him. And I just wonder what the point is of having guests if that's the format.
@@HickoryDickory86 Well he as an Apologist expects this...
His interview style is so effective, but so rare these days.
LOL The way Sean sounds, sounds like he would do that. LOL He has a geeky high pitch voice that goes perfectly with the personality we are describing lol... being a humble servant of christ keeps him grounded, this is an example of that.
I have followed Dr. Heiser's work for several years, one thing he cannot do is provide brief answers. 🙂
I listened to Michael Heiser and he had so much knowledge about the scriptures .RIP to a scholarship who taught us alot.
Amen
Breaks my heart knowing he’s not here anymore. He turned my workd upside down in understanding the Bible. He confirmed my suspicions concerning ideas in the Bible.. I know he’s now in the Glory of God
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ it's all I can say to your comment
He is having all the answers to all the mysterious now in heaven
No man except for Yeshua is in the glory of God right now.
Dan 12:4 This dear PhD Professor and Teacher gave a huge help to increase the knowledge both intellectual and spiritual as well of the KOH and the Gospel of God, thanks and praise to the Lord of lords for giveing us such a faithfull Apostole of His Priceless Word. Rest and live in the Joy of your God! We are waiting to see you Doctor at THE MEETING IN THE SKY WITH OUR GOD, SAVIOR AND LORD OF lords JESUS!
I’m sure he didn’t mean it in the way you evidently interpreted it.
I already miss his teaching. Thank goodness for RUclips. He was an integral part of my journey back to Christ and I will be forever grateful for that!! He broke the bible down in ways that made sense to me and I will be forever grateful for THAT!! Thank you Dr.H!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It hurts my heart that he is gone. God Bless you Dr. H.
@Nathaniel Soderstrom dr h is a great teacher
Amen!!!!
He forgot to point out that Jesus made all this shit up. Yeah he also left promises and what not for people to find comfort but God himself created all this mess and now we are supposed to worship it and feel guilty because we sinned and created all this life horror movie.
This man is a true modern day Berean who spent years and years searching the scriptures. Thank you Dr. for your hard work that has simplified and answered so many questions many of us have had. Shalom!!
Dr Heiser is very much missed, but it is a joy to still be able to benefit from his work. He left a huge body of work for the kingdom ✝️🙏
I have been drifting in and out of the faith over the years, after not being able to attend church, needing to work on Sundays. Dr Heiser really made such theological concepts accessible to us laypeople. Very thankful for all these things he has done online for our faith.
The Lord YAHWE...is beautiful....he laughed at the arrogant....but lifts up the downtrodden. Be modest..be silent....wait upon his wisdom
He will lift you up....on that beautiful mountain...you will worship him....he will send you an angel to cook you a meal
Shabat church is Saturday
Church doesn't teach you anything and the Sabbath is Saturday
@@RenataYeshua Not true. Even the Bible tells us to worship with other Christians.... Church. Sabbath was never considered to be a sat wouldn't that be the 6th day of rest? Are you 7 th day Adventist (cult?)
@@peterorczy9376please post this scripture from the word please.... Especially in reference to the meal
Michael Heiser’s contribution to bringing our attention to an all-but neglected yet fundamentally important aspect of biblical truth is hard to overstate. Sure, he’s not the first to have understood the intersection between the physical and non-physical realms of cosmic reality (he would admit this), but he has brought it out of the shadows of the academy and into the light for the church to benefit. A big shout out to him for responding to God’s poke in the eye and helping the rest of us to see a bit more clearly into the astonishing depths of scripture.
Well said!
Amen and Amen.
Whilst agreeing with Dr Heisers interpretations i just dont see them as fundamentally important. They are secondary issues likely to bedazzle the unstable
It is the glory of YHWH to conceal a thing: But the honour of kings to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2-10
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yvpersonally I disagree, many Christians wax on about our mission, about what Jesus came to accomplish and so on and so forth, not truly understanding the significance of why certain things are the way they are, and if ever slightly pressed on such matters they would surely fall apart.
Many do not even know their own enemy, and so there is much confusion. Many folks don’t know much (what there is to be known) of anything about the New Creation, more specifically that the “New Earth” is VERY important, that the New Heaven and New Earth is speaking to a New Eden, because the folly of both Spiritual Beings in Heaven and Humans on Earth has been a corruption, and so these very creatures Heiser speaks of are going to be held accountable, and we will come to rule with God over all New Creation. Many Christians just have a very simple and misguided view of them just going to Heaven, not realizing the importance of Jesus own Human-Divine body, Heaven-Earth body, we will have such a Body and inhabit such a space, but not because we Humans aligned ourselves with these lesser elohim, but because we did with Jesus.
In my honest opinion, Heiser speaks to a very important missing piece to a forgotten puzzle, that really isn’t much of a puzzle if we were truly loving to our ancient neighbor and read The Bible in context.
I'm a simple man. I see heiser, I click.
Dr. McDowell, I grew up listening to the teachings of your father at Student Venture conferences. My first Bible study as a 16 year old was with his book, "More Than A Carpenter." Thank you for following in his footsteps and bringing us this great content.
My favorite interview of all time. The world is at a loss without Dr Heiser
I’m sad he died but now he’s in a beautiful spiritual place ❤
Yes he will escape what's coming
If God saved him..
Jacob I love Esau I hated...
Malachi 1:3, Romans 9:13
Please explain how you know where he is now . Or are you just saying that to comfort those who were close to him ?
I believe that God brought him home for a reason. He is now dancing with the angels in heaven and looking at us from the other side.
Oh goodness, it's this type of crap always. Why can't he just be gone. Why must there be a beautiful afterlife for you to confront death?
Michael taught us so many things, he will be sorely missed.
The things he taught tickled peoples ears but what practical benifit are they in actually living the christian life?
@PhilipBaker-sf4yv
He made the Bible seem more real and he made it more meaningful to me by acknowledging the spirit world and answering the biblical "contradictions" I thought I had encountered.
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv well just maybe it caused some people to go and study for themselves and get a deeper understanding of who YAHWEH was and how much he loves us .... Look at the beautifully landscaped world he created ...and the unique way he created the human body. ...and how he made it to heal itself if we took care of it ...before man started poisoning our food
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yvUnderstanding the context in which scripture was written(. The 1st and 2nd temple Jewish period. The geography, the ancient time, that the Bible was not written TO us but to the ppl of that time period. And they understood as they lived in that world( era) .The language in which it was written… Hebrew/Aramaic (OT)… Greek( NT). Really helps to read scripture in context. Blessings
@ChildofGod-q7j The Bible is living and active sharper than any 2 edged sword. When the Spirit applies the word it can transform even the most uneducated.
Historical context is of some benefit to those called to be teachers. However the Bible is its own interpreter and a familiarity with the Bible is far more beneficial than familiarity with the historical context.
I find Heisers talks interesting but not uplifting. Some people seem to obsess over these things and count them a mark of spiritual maturity.
So glad you interviewed Dr Heiser before he went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless you and yours for sharing these interviews with everyone! Maranatha! 🙏🏻❤️💞💖
Thanks for listening
My heart is still broken over the loss of this man! He taught me soooo much. I have devoured every one of his books and even preached a message about the Divine Counsel. Completely opened my eyes of understanding of God's Word!
If you had concentrated more on the clearer passages of scripture you would have realised that women shouldnt be preaching in the first place. This obsession with the mysterious is not edifying. How does what Dr Heiser teaches help you in your daily Christian walk? Knowledge puffs up
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv I will let you talk to the LORD about this one when you are face to face with Him.
@katiemorgan8826 Do you think he will have changed his mind from what he wrote in the Bible regarding women preaching by the time I am summoned before him? Its not me who will be answering him on the matter as i am not a woman presuming to preach
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv I’m a woman, wife, & mother. I agree we need to stop allowing our feelings & opinions to prevent us from obeying. God’s word is enough! Compare all books to Scripture if they don’t align with God’s word it’s rejected. 🎚️🙏🏽
@sallylara1102 thats great i get sad for career focussed women in their forties no husband no children. They have missed out on God's best for them.
I have been binging any Dr. Heiser video I can since finding him last year. He is a true gem to the believer who wants to really know their bible and wants to know what things really mean. I cannot get enough.
Thanks, Sean, for having him on your channel.
Go check out his podcast! The Naked Bible podcast, its incredibly in depth
@@GorrestFummp I've listened to a bunch of it. It's excellent!
How have these things helped you in your growth in faith and sanctification?
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv What do you mean? A better question would be how have they NOT helped me.
@@karricompton please list a few of these blessings. I have listened to him a lot. He stimulates my curiosity in the obscure but as for practical benifits in my Christian walk i dont find any. My question is genuine. I find him interesting but am in no way moved to greater devotion to Christ by the things he says
I've listened to a lot of Mike Heiser interviews and this is one of the best. Both Mike and Sean were on point today .
I agree, solid interview
I saw your name and it reminded me of a young person I knew from a long time ago. Fifty years. He has a sister named Celeste. HCH
TY Sean for having Dr. Heiser. Dr. Heiser TY for all the truth you shared with us. I love to learn. I'm 73 and have studied the Word since age 16. The Holy Spirit has been a great Paraclete! God bless you both and yours always. 🤗
Love ya Mike! Your passing hit me hard! I was all caught up in ancient aliens until I ran across you on the internet debunking Sitchin! I started listening to your teaching and it opened up to me a real understanding of our Bible! Hope to meet you one day!
He was a treasure! I hope you have seen "Ancient Aliens Debunked, " by Chris White, which heavily features Dr. Heiser.
Dr Heiser has me running fast from passage to passage to understand and follow him. I am, at the same time, so overwhelmed and so blown away. I absolute love how Dr Heiser views humans in God's plan. I want more.
Great interview Sean. I appreciate your patience in letting each guest talk, but also your discernment in knowing when to step in to move the conversation along. I also appreciate your ability to summarize points and provide relevant segues. You’re doing a great job. Thank you for the content you’re providing, the respect you show to each guest by your familiarity with their content, and the eloquence and grace with which you carry yourself. It’s a great testament to the person you’ve become in Christ.
Amen!! Well said!!
Thanks. I really enjoy it and am glad to hear they’re helpful!
Well said and tactfully put. I love Dr. Heiser's books and interviews but I suspect he needed a pug on his lap for this one ;)
@@briendoyle4680 Insightful display vitriol, sir. You really showed us Christians. Tip your fedora to eloquence (if you haven't already).
When a well packaged Web of lies has been so gradually poured to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly pre postrace, and its speaker a raving lunatic. We live in the backwards world. Everything you were ever taught is a lie. Everyone on this plane existence grows up under Government. Govern = rule Ment= mental or mind. They have been ruling our mind since birth. The only thing we ever learn in life, is what we are taught by our parents, who were raised under Govern- ment. Then you go to a school, A govern- ment school. I mean you really have to, or your parents go to Jail. You have to be programmed. Next you watch public TV, In which they tell you it is programming, we will return to the programming after these messages. Then you grow up and go to A501 C3 church, a division of the federal government. And no matter what Denomination. They teach you to pray to JESUS. A fake made a name by the Catholic Church, That didn't even exist until the early 1800s. I mean the letter J wasn't invented until 1524. Scriptures clear acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby me must be saved. So by whose authority? Do they get to change the name above all names? And now we have those who know the name, who find out the name, and reject the name, and still use JESUS. When facts, absolute truths are spoken, and the receiving person cannot hear( the truth );they cannot hear his voice. His voice, is the voice of Truth. To deny Yahusha, and call him by a defiled name, when they know his correct name, is Rebellion.1st Samuel 15:23 for Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity, and idolatry, because thou Hast rejected the word of Yahuah, why he has also rejected the. Seek him with all your might, not what your told, or what is easily picked up. Not just the Traditions of men.
Now let's touch on a few more lies about the world you live in. A church, is the last place, you want to go to, you will be indoctrinated into one of the Satanic cult's, Christianity being the biggest. There's only one preacher, or priest if you will. His Name is Yahusha Ha' Machiach. "Little children, let no man deceive you: He that does righteousness is righteous, even as he (Messiah) is righteous."1st John 3:7 He's the only one you go to, for everything. Scripture is clear, Beware the teachings of men. All wisdom comes from the Ruach Ha' Kodesh. Anything that comes from MEN is. James 3:15 This wisdom Descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish.
Next Let's take the education system before you even get into school your taught things through subliminal messages. Cartoons are the worst. All controlled by CIA. But let's take school, your taught that you evolved from a monkey, and that you live on a roundball flying through space. School, Public television, and your parents taught you we live on a round ball, flying through space at 666 million miles an hour, while you're flying around the sun at 550,000 miles per hour, while your spinning at 1069 miles per hour, that's a lot of movements for you to not feel one thing. The Bible is a flat earth book. Their are over 400 places in the King James 66 book cannon bible, that states somehow that the Earth is stationary, and does not move. The Sun and moon were made on the fourth day, what did earth revolve around until then!! Come on! You don't believe Genesis!!! Scripture is the only truth, in this plane of existence. We do not believe our own eyes, and our own senses, or the holy scriptures, we believe what somebody tells us. Nobody can prove curvature, because there isn't any!!
A simple Lighthouse proves there is no curvature, NASA says 66 feet of curvature at 10 miles, 6666 feet of curvature at a hundred miles, how can a 70 foot Lighthouse be seen for 30 or 40 miles, Google it. The stature Liberty is 300 ft tall and it can be seen for 60 to 70 miles at 60 miles it would be under over 2,000 feet of curvature. Water is always level, it doesn't bend. It can't be round guys, no matter how much you want it to be, because you've been taught that. It's a LIE, and if they can make you believe a lie that big, what else do you believe. Again we see rejection without investigation is the epitome of ignorance. But when we present Truth. We are ridiculed. So when you mention, The firmament, or the flat Earth, your instantly A nutcase, when in actuality, they have the disorder of Cognitive Dissonance. And most everyone suffers from cognitive dissonance. Please look it up.
Now let's take the cross, he wasn't hung a cross, The cross is a 4000 year old death symbol, for the sun god Tammuz. He was hung on an almond tree ,on the mount of olives. A sacrifice, is not a sacrifice, unless it's done on an altar, a Roman cross is not a alter.
How about the Rapture, You cannot read scripture, and believe there's a rapture, one verse kills the whole thing. 2nd Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be destroyed with intense heat, and the Earth, and its works there in Shall be burned up. I mean on his 2nd return, the heavens and the Earth are destroyed, where do all the Left Behind people live? Again the wheat and the tares grow together, until the end, read scripture for yourself. The rapture doctrine was invented in 1831 by a man named John Nelson Darby, look it up. The enemy doesn't want you prepared for what's coming.
I could go on for days, because everything in this existence is upside down, And backwards. Stop and return to your childhood, and reprogram yourself, with your own knowledge.
Remember!
The Earth is not for the pleasure of men, but it is a place of instruction for his soul, a man more readily feels the strings of his spirit in the face of disaster, then in the lap of luxury. The tuition of the soul is a long, and arduous course of instruction, and in training, humility is the key to unlocking the door to the kingdom. Obedience unto death allows you to enter in. Also, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear YAH and keep his Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:13.
Father paid for everything, so none would have to suffer if, they only truly believed his word of Truth. But just as we have witnessed ourselves, it was suffering that open our eyes, we all have our Breaking Point, and will eventually see the truth, the longer they deny the truth, only exposes them to discomforts, they hold by stepping on others toes. If a man has nothing to die for, then what does he love, a man is his word, and we either represent his image by walking what we talk, and being true and just, that he controls everything around you, He only needs witnesses to his word of Truth. Everything has already been said none of us can do any better than HE did. No matter how many times anyone misrepresents, if the father did not call them by name, they are not one of his. There are so many demons hiding behind the Flesh, and calling themselves Godly. I only Say what I know to be the Truth. By witnessing to it myself. What I've seen and Experienced. Mankind has been seeking shortcuts since the beginning , but only by death to self, can anyone come to the truth. As Above, So Below, the mind in the heart must become one with the truth, and only fire can refine. This is why only those who love the truth more than anything, can stand in this fire, No matter how hot it gets. This is exactly how we show his love, by sharing knowledge we have witnessed. Not the teachings of men. I know from experience, that this letter will get rejected by 95 to 98% of the people who read it, if they even take time to read it. But if anything in this strikes you, and you have a question. Kdwarner5@gmail.com
Oh how I miss Dr. Heiser. I woke up one morning early this year hearing his name in my head. I had no idea who he was prior to that moment. I just knew at that moment I had heard of him from somewhere. I started researching his name, and I haven't been able to stop listening to his teaching since. Elohim, the most high, called Dr. Heiser home early😢.
Yahweh called him home.
Man, I miss Mike Heiser, I've learned sooooo much from him. Can't wait to meet him in heaven & give him a big hug. Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I left the chirch in my youth to be a practicing wiccan. When I returned to the church gen 6 and jude stood out to me for years and I have always known and mentioned how this explains the egyptian, greek, roman pantheons. Most people think I'm nuts because they ignore the supernatural...
Looks like I have some more books to read.
Glad to know I'm not crazy.
Yes me too. I have so many questions to ask, and I am comforted by Jesus’ promise:
Matthew “11:9 And I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
11:10 For everyone asking receives, and the one seeking finds, and to the one knocking, it will be opened.”
Thanks for sharing...i had a similar situation, in my own walk to discovering TRUTH...former Witch, had demons talking to me all the time, and was very curious about Genesis 6 and how the angelic hybridization program brought the pagan deities into being. Jesus is Real, and He set me straight about Who the Creator is. And i don’t have those evil beings talking to me now....you aren’t crazy, you just have very sound reason to trust the Bible is true, because you realize the dark ones are real, but so then, are the Beings of Light. You and I know it Firsthand by experience.
@Karl Jansen Jude6. Genesis 6:4 i don't know about any myths you spoke of. I do read about unholy unions in the Holy Bible. Believe what you want. But the modern trend to Further the Evolution of Humanity with genetic tampering started in the minds of the Fallen.
How many people who claim to belong to Messiah believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and celebrate the Celtic festival of the dead, Halloween? There's plenty of myths taken out of other cultures and held dear by Believers, with absolutely No Scriptural reason to believe such things. Do you cling to these spurious traditions, friend? If so, you have some Silly Myths without Biblical support
@Karl Jansen i never said it Makes Sense. But angels can materialize and look like men, and eat. Lot fed the two angels. I don't claim to understand how it happened. But you have many more people who like me, accept it, because not all ancient texts are mythology. You believe in the Virgin Birth, or not? Explain it.
I dont think they can read your mind but they can influence your thoughts. When i was demon oppressed and called out to Jesus i heard the voice say dont do that. When i said leave in the name of Jesus Christ i had a sound mind. Many occultist also talk about having conversations with these entities in their mind. Its very real. God bless you all
I think its frequency, if you go into sin, you go into a lower frequency, and thus may open or hear "those thoughts" more, and vice versa, "If there is anything honorful, anything pure, anything good, praiseworthy, think about these things" - Says St Paul.
Bless you
I completely agree. Anyone can do this Through Jesus and the gifts of understanding.
@Donna di Lode Thank you! I don’t think many understand this. They have watched you for a long time. They have watched humans in general a long time. They can’t read thoughts but can read you and influence your thoughts if you let them.
@Donna di Lode Took me a while to figure this one out myself cause I've had quite a few dealings with demons in my days. Before finding Jesus and getting saved, I was really into drugs and the occult, so I guess my mind was already opened up to that world. They can't read your mind, but they sure do go through painstaking effort to try and convince you that they can. It's also worth noting that they can only influence your thoughts if you're unsaved or saved and still living in error. A born again Christian that's living "the life" cannot be influenced by demonic power (and by consequence any form of witchcraft or magic). Even after getting saved I used to be tormented by demonic interlopers in my sleep, then I stopped living a double life and fully committed myself to Jesus and haven't had anything close to one since.
@Donna di Lode I can't speak on your walk with Christ, but as far as mine goes, I know I'm saved when I received God's Spirit [The Holy Spirit]. Being saved (according to scripture) isn't supposed to be something you have to wait to find out in the hereafter, you know when the Spirit comes inside of you. The night I was born into the Spirit, I literally sang Jesus' name for what felt like an hour cause He [The Spirit] testifies internally to your Spirit that you belong to God, your home is Heaven, and everything that Jesus promised us is true. So, when I say "I'm saved" I don't speak from a state of ignorance, nor do I confer this designation upon myself, God Himself through His Spirit professes this designation to my spirit internally. You seem to be focused a lot on "your" efforts and "your" capabilities, but salvation is effectuate by God through the power of His Spirit. No one who is without the Spirit belongs to God or can do anything to please God.
Second time I listened to this video. So good to hear these details. God bless this wonderful scholar. Sad he has left us. Grateful for all his books, podcasts and these very helpful video discussions. Thank you, Sean for keeping these interviews available.
The way you listen and show a desire to understand, wether you agree or not, is inspiring. It opens up the opportunity for honest conversation with whoever you interview. God has given you grace and patience that is so evident in your interviews. Thank you for serving Him through this channel.
Mike makes me proud to be a child and follower of Yeshua. I can and do FINALLY enjoy my Bible. I love his books and his Godly wisdom . He dispels all my doubts and inspires my spirit to be all Yahweh desires me to be. Thanks for having him on.

As much as we all grieve Dr. Mike’s passing, we are blessed to have his teachings in book and social media. Do not forget, God is sovereign and it pleased Him to call Dr. Mike home. His purpose was fulfilled in his life, he ran the race well and he glorified God in doing so. He was a gift to us from God and I am thankful for the tremendous blessing that was Mike and his obedience to carry out God’s will in his life. May we all be mindful of this in our own lives. Looking forward to meeting Mike in Heaven one glorious day!
All this bs. You really think that is amazing, to come to this existence without ever asking for it and then live a life glorifying the one who sent you here against you will and then call that a beautiful life?
Profoundly & well said.
Indeed, our spirit, soul & lives are not our own but given to us by God.
So, we have to return these to our Lord, when He calls us to sleep in Christ, until we are raised with glorified bodies & taken to our Heavenly Home.
God knows & has numbered our hair & God has numbered our days in this life.
When God calls us, we submit to the sleep in Christ, He gives us until He raises us up to our Heavenly Life & see God's face.
Sincere thanks for sharing the truth, expressed beautifully.
God bless & reward your faith.
✝️🕯️💐
@madelynnohernandez7453 I know exactly how you feel. I was raised catholic but I didn't want a relationship with God and Jesus until just recently. Keep going, be diligent, keep reading. Maybe try even praying. I hope this horrible lonely feeling leaves you
❤❤❤
Great interview. Thank you so much for posting this interview.
I just noticed it was posted 2 years ago, yet it lives on and continues to bless others. Timing is everything and God always wins.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Heiser is missed.
I just found this today popped up in my RUclips suggestions. Very happy to have found it
Being delivered out from generational occult I've always thought I was way behind the 8 ball as far as cleaning out the lies I grew up with and replacing it with truth...but seeing the Bible as being supernatural was never an issue. Another blessing to be grateful for.
This is amazing-the church of America’s doesn’t ever touch this. We need this! Please give us more, Sean. After 50 years of being a believer, I feel like I’m just now waking up...
A great pastor Isaiah Saldivar is rly amazing on this topic look him up if u havent alrdy God bless u
@@karenqueen9524 HI KAREN ! Could you supply a LINK to this PASTOR Salvidar ? ThNX
Charles Lawson. Gene Kim. These preach and teach about the demons...
@@barbarasmith134 I wouldn't follow those 2 if you paid me
@@aaronknight4800 why? Not being mean...
I love Dr. Michael Heiser! I have so much respect for this gentleman for digging in and doing the hard work to educate those of us who long for answers and the truth. I listen to The Naked Bible frequently and have learned so much. His videos help me to understand the Gospel and he does it with love and humor. I can't wait to receive his latest great read. Thank-you for the interview!
I’m now a subscriber because I saw Dr. Heiser on your site, that is all I needed. I have been a fan of his since I read his fiction book, The Unseen Realm, in 2015. He's certainly in a better place and I can see him getting all his questions answered. I look forward to seeing more of your videos! This one was over the moon… All God's Blessings ✝️
Wonderful job Sean. Dr. Heiser and I were the same age and we got diagnosed at the same time. I’m still here and have a sort of survivor guilt. The Lord knows all, but my sense of loss over this man is profound.
Bless you and be encouraged brethren. Allow the Holy Spirit to cover you with peace, comfort and protection.
Survivor guilt??
Leaving this earth kingdom given to satan is GOOD, and what we fairhful ones WANT. No "sorrow" about it.
An important talk. Many pastors avoid controversy or anything that would stretch the mind of their parishioners. Likewise, churches avoid eschatology even though the prophecies demand analysis.
Thank you so much to Dr. Heiser and Dr. McDowell. Very good work to both of you, to the glory of God!!!
Pastors also tend to preach on subjects that will be of practical benifit to their congregation such as the way of salvation and sanctification rather than secondary and dubious issues which just tickle itching ears but are of little benefit in living the christian life
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv pastors teach mostly feel good messages and prosperity...they hardly teach the true gospel Like repent and live GODLY lives ..they don't want to lose their tithe..
@camile6289 the type of 'pastors' you are mentioning are described as hirelings. I should have put the word 'true pastors' at the start of my post.
I find Heisler interesting but fail to see what great benefit in terms of building up the Christian in faith and sanctification his topics are. Listening to his talks is no substitute for personal Bible study and prayer. However it's a lot better than watching the TV. Do you publically worship God with a local gathering of his people on a weekly basis?
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv not lately .I've been doing online with a few different churchs and groups ..have you heard of Jentzen Franklin...he had a church in Georgia...? And I've been rewatching David Wilkerson 's old videos ..and also Derek Prince .
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv I don't have a car anymore .so I'm kinda stuck with home online worship for the time being
I THANK GOD FOR HAVING ACCESS TO BIBLE SCHOLARS FROM MY EASY CHAIR AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH. THANKS FOR YOU BOTH FOR YOUR GOOD WORK.
Dr. Heiser is great. Read nearly all of his books and couldn’t put them down. I know he’s getting a kick out of heaven right now.
The dead sleep in the grave until Christ returns, no?
@@tanyabaja9180 No. 2 Cor. 5-8: To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Heiser was a good fella. Opened my eyes on mysteries in scripture, especially the supernatural.
God bless this man for sharing his knowledge.
How do you know that? This man has no knowledge. All he has are the same idiotic points that EVERY true expert in the ancient world said were wrong and even satanic. He's relying on his own extremely limited IQ and knowledge (when compared to God), and he's saying everyone who actually lived through the Biblical events were wrong, as well. But he say he's right.
Do yourself a favor. Believe what the Bible says, and stop listening to idiots and false prophets like this guy.
@Hee Kim Agreed 👍
@@jamesaritchie1 I think you need to calm down and I be careful who you call an idiot, you have got it wrong he has never said he was a prophet, so either you didn’t listen to him at all or your just making things up , which is wrong if you read your bible.
what knowledge
@@jamesaritchie1 he has false earth degrees and honors
Nothing new here, but entirely new. This is life-changing work. Thank you, Michael!
In what way does this talk of nephalim devine council and demons change your life?
I have had the same experience, as well; a seminary grad; a Dr. of Theology, and I missed it as well. In the past, I always read Psalm 32 in the conventional way and saw the elohim as earthly judges. I thank the late Dr. Heiser for setting me straight. He is missed. What I can truthfully say about him is, he accomplished the Mission God had for him and now he is in paradise.
Just a secondary issue not life changing
Thank you so much for keeping this video on air...it was very helpful to me
Amazing the things you learn on the internet. As a Pentecostal I never knew other Christians were unaware of the demonic realm. Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places
Pentecostals teach false demons, though, like there is a Jezebel spirit or other nonsense. Jezebel was just a woman. Period.
Yes, but sometimes we give them too much attention and we're looking for a Boogeyman behind every bush.
Not everything is caused by a demon. We make our own bad choices. And sometimes what we think is bad is actually God moving the pieces for our good.... Such as Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt that enabled him to become the viceroy to save the Line of Messiah.
Many Christians are aware. The following Priests are active Exorcists: Father Chad Ripperger; Father Vince Lampert; and Father Carlos Martinson.
Isaiah Saldivar is a Christian. He does deliverance work.
There are many Christians aware of demons. Sadly, there are many Apostate Christian Churches who ignore the evil beings.
Pente...yea sure...glad I got out of it ..bye...will not come back here...bye..bye
@@eliara-thevoice8430 Nothing Catholic, thank you...bye..bye....
During my prayer this morning I asked God exactly this question (1:03:25) and whoaaa He answered me right away! I opened youtube and one of the recommended videos was this! Thank you for clarifying!
Knowing that God has hope in us and has introduced us to his heavenly council is a heavy revelation that should bring tears every time we sin.
I hope that whoever has taken over Awakening School of Theology is even half as diligent and persistent as Dr. Heiser was on the subject matter. Nobody can replace him but maybe the new torch-bearer can come close to it. May the Lord reign.
Thank you both very much. This starts the process of connecting the dots for verses I never had a clue about but have always wanted to understand!
WOW. WOW. WOW. Since finding Michael H's teaching, my mind has blown up and now is growing up!! I will listen to this again and again. Thank You GOD for opening up this teaching for us.
Has his teaching been of any practical benifit in living the Christian life or has it just added to your knowledge?
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv
And here you are again
@zenyattamondatta7757 yes and asking the same question. By the way in what practical way do you find these messages a blessing?
I'm gobsmacked how the Holy Spirit has used Dr. Heiser to help you and me open our hearts and minds to these glorious truths, which have been overlooked due to theological laziness 🎉➕️🙏❤️
A glorious truth is that demons exist? Oh yeah and their creator aka.God can save us from them? What is glorious about that?
@@madelynhernandez7453 you sound like you're offended. May I ask why?
He was a blessing to all of us bible Students. Thank you God for revealing yourself
Accept the whole bible . Paul said we fight not man
the bible is nonsesense, how can someoen immortal die? how can some one mortal become eternal, the crucifiction is just that - fiction.
@HarryNicholas I pray that God will open your eyes before He return.
@HarryNicNicholas Jesus is fully God and fully human. He is eternal, He existed before He became Human. The reason He became human so He can die to pay for the penalty of our sins. The flesh died but not the Spirit. He was Spirit before He became flesh. Keep reading the Bible. It will make sense especially If you acknowledge that you are a sinner and Jesus is the Savior
RIP Dr. Heiser. You have a fabulous mind, I am grateful you left us so much of your work to explore.
This was a great interview. God bless Michael Heiser!
Sean is a great interviewer and always thinks about what he's saying in an interview.
An awesome topic, not to be focused on but not to be ignored either!
it's a topic for the stupid. still what can you expect from people who worship the giant elf in the sky.
So interesting. And how gracious of Dr Heiser to sit through all the promos for future guest, etc.
I just learned of Dr. Heiser this week. I had already started digging into the Bible by researching the culture and original languages. He shows an even deeper level and I so appreciate his desire to make the academic available to the layman. May his memory be for a blessing. Thank you.
Excellent interview! I read a draft of Unseen Realm years before it was published and it blew my mind. I've since read many of Heiser's works and some of the scholars he cites in his books. Solid stuff! It's helpful to have so much of that stuff touched on in this brief (compared to reading all the books) interview. For those who doubt this, you really should read his more scholarly stuff AND the works he cites - even if you disagree on some particulars, the view he presents as a whole is very hard to argue with. Well done Sean!
I started a journey trying to make sense of a number of things that don't generally make sense, and I'm glad someone has already done the groundwork.
I'm so thankful that God has brought Dr. Michael Heiser teaching into my life and that I have ears to hear and eyes to see ❤🙌❤️
I love this, now subscribed! Great interview! I love Dr Heiser, I'd say I miss him but how can I say that when I watch everything I can with him, and I know he's with Jesus & he's happy as can be.
The church IS capable of content and it should be content driven. Discipleship suffers without it. Thank you for your work Dr. Heiser. I have thoroughly enjoyed your books, podcast(s), blogs, and videos. Thank you for facilitating this interview and having a desire to be loyal to the text Dr. Sean
I will have to listen to this a couple times more. There are so many details, and concepts I have never heard before. I need to make notes and do research. I am thoroughly blown away by the amount of knowledge this gentleman has, and that you understand what he is saying, Dr. McDowell!! Thank you for challenging me to broaden my mind, even in things I have been shocked that any one could date to suggest about the Bible.
Its normal to repeat, think over Heiser's work, then listen again, rethink and on. It took me a good two years to get my head wrapped around Reversing Hermon. First the old false assumptions and opinions masquerading as true doctrine had to be wiped out. Then understanding the events of the HUGE backstory of the rebel angels and Mt Hermon. One thing among many things learned is there's a backstory behind every detail.
I really appreciate how McDowell let Heiser rant a bit.
Very cool material interesting subject that would be worth an hour podcast.
Thanks for your time and effort.
By far one of the best interviews and presentations of second temple Judaism theology in your channel, it belongs in the exceptional interviews category.
He's correct... We better understand we fight demons and spirits ...
Have Faith
We fight against principalities and wickedness in high places.
@@barbarasmith134 indeed
there is no such thing as demons or spirits, what is it with you people? dropped on your head as children? YOU are the crazies in this.
@@HarryNicNicholas ... Hahahahahaha
I'm sorry the concept scares you so bad that you felt the need to comment to a stranger about your own unbelief...
Belief is a funny thing it is our choice entirely that is what free will is about...
Just because you don't believe in them doesn't mean they don't believe in you...
One can deny reality literally their whole life but they can't deny the outcome of reality...
If I'm wrong then I just become worm food when I'm dead...
But if you're wrong...........
Well we all know how that works out...
Good luck
“How you are fallen from heaven,
O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;

Yes thank you. it's so frustrating day in Day Out. People cut you off. Can't listen for very long. Can't dialogue, can't do critical thinking. How can one learn this way?
Thank you so much for this teaching... thank you for stretching my thinking and taking me deeper into the Word of God
Many things I learned from Dr.Mike have helped a lot. When I have questions about some Bible topics, I try to understand what the people of that date and place likely knew and did not know.
Wow nice thanks for the perspective 🤠
❤ This was a great interview. ❤ Getting all of Dr Heiser's books. Praise Yahusha Jesus for using him to spread all these wonderful teachings. Miss him, but looking forward to seeing all my brothers and sisters in the kingdom Along with the King and Bridegroom ❤
Great interview with Mike, he’s so interesting to learn from.
Great interview, packed with deep info.
Awsome interview . Thank you Dr Michael Heister and Hoste Sean McDowell.
RIP Dr Michael Heister. 😢
😊Sean, the best interview i have heard with Dr. Heiser. Thought I would be bored. I have heard and watched him so much. Dr. Heiser brought out "data points" here that he has not mentioned in other interviews on the same topic. They say it is your interview style. If so, great job and Thank you
As an Orthodox Christian, we have not lost sight of this Biblical perspective. Reading the early desert Fathers of the first few centuries of Chistianity teaches one the reality of how things really are. The battle for each precious soul. Jesus Christ be praised!
AMEN TO THAT.
Precious souls?
Thanks a lot Sean for this interview!!!
He’s still teaching us! I’m so thankful for Dr. Heiser’s gift! 22:20 makes me think of how David used to play music for Saul.
I agree with Denton's comment completely! This interview is bulked down with content. I came late to Dr. Heiser's mission. I have been so blessed by his work. I will see my brother in heaven.
Very cool. I also own most books Dr. Heiser has written, extremely eye opening and it has been there all along.
I love seeing Sean McDowell having aha moments! My own moments were an experience I won't forget. Nothing would have enabled me to join the dots to get the framework except for those eye openers he put out on his website for beginners.
@@RM-fs8ub try ykykķulll6kl

interesting that you say eye opening ;)
Jesus is spot on when he saids that everything that has happened in 2020 and everything going on this. Year you can see Satan at work full force
@@EnlightenedHeart01 yes, you can now see it its no longer hidden under a bushel. They’re screaming from the rooftops. Which I am not surprised. Soon The Lord is coming!
Such a woefully neglected essential subject re living as a Christian! So grateful for my learning with Ellel ministries - the first time in 30+ years of hearing teaching about the supernatural world. My life was completely transformed and along with it, liberated in a fresh way.
If Dr Heisers teachings are so essential in living the Christian life how is it that God allowed the vast majority of Christians over the centuries to be ignorant of these things?
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv maybe it has something to do with discernment and why don't people who are scoffers a d skeptics pray and ask The Father what is truth If these people on here are saying they learned from Michael Heiser and they are enthusiastic either seek out what they say they scriptures and pray for truth ...just stop acting Jealous ..cause that what I see happening . Bless you
@@camile6289 are you saying the church for the first 2000 years before Heisner lacked discernment?
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yv absolutely NOT .I don't know what they taught ..unless your talking about the pharisees and Sadducees I'd say they lacked something...wouldn't you ?? Their actions led to Our MESSIAH being crucified and they accused him calling him beelzebub..lol. Caused he cast out a demon on Shabbat....But No I have nothing to say about the early churches ?do you? I wasn't there .. and I take it you were mocking me when you said demon of Automobile less....maybe you have a spirit that's telling you to mock or scoff...You must not be familiar with Eph 6vs12" "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities of spiritual wickedness in high places
God Bless Michael Heiser, his family and his ministry! What a blessing he was. He opened my eyes and truly led me to Jesus. I will never forget him...
A profound survey of the origins of it all. Thank you.
Thank you x bringing in Dr. Heiser. That was a lot of pearls. I bought the book! ✊
I have listened to this in interview and sent it out many times. I so respect and appreciate Dr M H and this program is so great. Thank you
Every single time I listen to Sean, always a pure joy. Never ever been disappointed or bored. Always learn much.
Excellent session!!! 👏
Thank you so much, Gentlemen!!! 🫡
What an interesting and worth while Biblical discussion.
Yay!! Dr. Heiser is in the house!
I've been following Dr. Heiser for a month or so, and, boy! Does he shake your tree or what?! His teaching is revolutionary and an extreme eye-opener.
No it's not. All he is telling you is that demons are real.
I So Miss his teaching🤍 The LORD Blessed us by giving us Dr Michael Heiser .
I love Heiser he is so through, He was a research engine and was never satisfied with a scripture untill he had completely dissected it !
Excellent interview which challenged some of my thinking regarding this topic. I will be buying his books.
