I don't want to hear anybody complain about Christian movies anymore when Hollywood is putting out movies this cringe-worthy. Even kids with atheist parents are about to convert to Christianity, because of how lame this movie looks.
If that's the case so be it. But your pride has got the better of you. This story actually fakes out the audience and has a twist. So while you can still have reservations & issues with such a movie I agree with that. As an actual follower of Christ not afraid to be wrong: I'm telling you, you're at the very least a little bit wrong on this one. Don't give evil more credit than it deserves. If you think something is evil & wrong then you should probably just avoid anything* to do with it even a trailer & talking about it. If however you have faith in God then let only evil fear the goodness in you & the truth of the Lord you believe in you. Only you can relinquish ground to evil. You not only do so with your words but actions. The good thing is we can learn from our mistakes, learn from our assumptions, choose to live only by what we know to be true & be meeker & wiser everyday as the Lord teaches us.
I believe I am a Christian and see this film purely as a work of fiction viewing Christianity as a fictional satirical mythos rather than a theological pillar for personal beliefs which I think has its merits for facilitating creativity. Satan is still depicted as an antagonist from the trailer, so I think it is not necessarily “satanic propaganda” if you have a literary analytic lens to filter its context. However, I do think discernment is important when watching these movies and it could result in youth not filtering these films through a mature biblical filter and not take the devil’s trickery seriously which could definitely be a problem. I think you’re exaggerated/shallow assumptions that atheists will convert due to the existence of this trailer adds to how corny some Christians can appear to secularists. You can contend for the faith by applying biblical concepts to worldy works if you’d like, and probably get success through the Holy Spirit, but insulting atheists criticisms of Christian film wont give you much success. As much as I love the messages in Christian film, the Christian film industry has lately had a problem with corporate saturation, repeated theme usage, lack of accessibility to the general public, and themes that may seem pious to those that may not identify with Christian doctrine. This is not my personal dismissal of all Christian movies as The Prince of Egypt, and Passion of Christ were INCREDIBLE movies even by secular standards. But… you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, and simplifying the enemy and sin then dismissing differences in overgeneralized general tastes without room for nuance wont help people lend their ears when you contend for the faith. Starting conflicts about media wont get disagreers to hear you out. I recommend simply living out the gospel, carrying your cross, and invite people to hear why we believe Christ is so important for our lives. Know your enemy and contend for the bible above it, do not take your enemies and those who succumbed to the enemy as fools, because the devil is a problem for a reason, and it’s not for being more stupid than man.
I have noticed a trend the last 20ish years where Hollywood takes villains and humanizes them to the point where they are heroes, and the real hero’s are the villains. That these misunderstood criminals are just innocent soul that’s dealing with trauma, mental illness or simply not allowed to live there authentic selves. 99% of the time this is done with fictional characters, and there is some level of truth to that storyline. However, it is going to the extreme of being glorified and hating on those who are both mentally and spiritually sound in Christ. To the point where people want to be disturbed because that is how they will be praised.
As someone who loves analyzing writing, this trend bugs me too. Art reflects life, and real life isn't black and white, which is why this trend is OK to an extent. many real life "villains" often are complex people who are misunderstood or a just pushed into their roles. I see this trend of more of an exploration of the why and how a person becomes a villain. But at the same time, this trend has somewhat turned into an excuse of sorts for "villains". both fictional and real. Alot of people irl are obsessed with giving themselves a victim complex because it's a shield used to justify themselves. Same thing with redemption arcs in story telling. I think the biggest problem is bad writers themselves, who see and portray a sad backstory as an excuse. I love a *good* redemption arc, like zuko from avatar the last Airbender, because in these redemption arcs the character has to actually learn, grow and become repentant from their past actions. but alot of modern redemption arcs just boil down to a villain deciding to switch teams with no self reflection or change of heart. it's not only lazy writing but shallow and not reflective of true repentance or redemption. As Christians we know change of character is the fruit of repentance. And I thing bad redemption arcs are a part of the "sympathetic villain" problem. the sad backstory becomes a justification for the villain rather than an explanation for their behavior. The problem with this trend is that some people just don't need a reason to do bad things and just do them because they want to. That is the nature of humanity sometimes. and this trend of every villain needing to be sympathetic ignores human nature and the fact that some people really are selfish and not every bad action has a sad backstory to explain it away. I'm currently writing my own story and while I have villains with redemption arcs, I have villains without redemption arcs, some who are offered redemption, who don't even hesitate to deny it.
Spot On Angela‼️🔥 People don't realize that opening the wrong doors in their lives can give the devil a stronghold to destroy them. Thank you for presenting Gods Truth. Praise Our Precious Lord For You 🔥💯❤️
Who would let their child be in a movie like this? Oh wait, I know the answer. Parents who think Jesus and Satan are a joke. I pray that kid in the movie has an encounter with Jesus or God, or both, and knows what real Christianity is. And for his parents as well.
@@lexip396able In the case of most movies its poor stewardship to loose 2 hrs of your life and ticket money to boot...There are so many better (and helpful) ways to spend your life and your money...food, savings, gas, tithing.
Even just the name "Wicked" why would parents take their children to see that? If course they don't know any better. It was just 4 years ago I was letting mg son listen too and sing a song called "we live in hell" 🤦♀that was before the lord saved me. Also, Arianna Grande claims to be a witch!!!!! Yikes!!!
@@Smiley35S The Lord saved me a few months ago and I still remember when Ariana Grande used to post on Instagram about filming Wicked. I was super into pop culture and liked her a lot, but something felt soooo off, I couldn’t explain it then. And to be honest, when I saw the trailer I was compelled to watch it at first, but then the Lord delivered me from that desire and made me realise so many things about Hollywood. I feel free now. Nothing that is against Jesus is worth it. It just is not.
The Movie is supposed to be this silly Musical about the Wicked Witch and Good witch in the The Wizard of OZ. It's Disney's new thing making origin stories about It's villains and turning them into Morally grey misunderstood characters that were wronged by the good characters like they did with Maleficent.
Thank you for speaking out on this! This absolutely turned my stomach watching this trailer completely geared toward our children. Those that dont have eyes to see are so deceived. Praise God that my eyes have been opened to protect my children from the devils lies.
Angela, I have not watched your channel in a while - wow - beautiful transformation of your countenance builds my faith! Impossible to describe except the Light of Jesus is a beautiful thing to see. And thank you for listening to His call and unmasking this attempt by the enemy. I will pray for you and your family.
"The Devil is not stupid but he kind of counts on You being stupid, he is so crafty and cunning and wise...this is why Scripture tells us to be as wise as the serpent".
This movie is basically teaching kids and teens that if they want riches, get what they want, have their dreams come true, etc. that satan will give it to them. It’s one way to get them to sell their souls to the devil. 😢
did you listen? you can't sell your soul - satan isn't that powerful' the Soul is defined by Christians as our (mind, body & emotions) Our Body and Spirit belong to God, the Father.
@@thaistompYou can't sell your soul. The scripture says anyone in Christ cannot be torn from Him. The scripture also defines Christ's sacrifice as redeeming, that we are bought out of the spiritual evil and sin.
Very well-put. Not to mention: money talks. If you pay money to see this, your money is telling Hollywood, "Yes. We like this. Make more of this." Plus, you're coming into agreement with it by giving it your time of day to invest into watching it.
I have never had Satan described the way you did. It really painted a picture and helped me to better understand his place in this world. Thank you, as a new Christian it really makes so much more sense to me.
She described him that way because that’s how the Bible describes him. Sister in Christ, please study your Bible. As a new Christian, it is pivotal that you study the Word of God for yourself. Do not rely on others to tell you what it says. Do not assume Christian tradition must be biblical. Don’t assume that Pastor’s know God. Know the Word and you will not be deceived. May God bless you and keep you and may you be obedient to his commandments❤️
I remember growing up believing satan was fake and it was because of how I saw it characterized this way. When I got older and I had a conversation with one who was truly evil, confessed murder to me, terrified me. I wasn't even Christian yet but I knew that the devil was real.
I have a coworker who is a satanist, she is under the great deception. I told her JESUS Loves her and is waiting for her. HIS Joy, Love and Peace will heal her hurts.
So tired of literally every movie being either terrible, or demonic, or just crap...i wish we could get back to good wholesome movies again..at least making a few...this is just ugh...another movie where kids are the victim...
Our society first has to be remade wholesome. There's only a few ways to do that. 1. Remove any of those who seek to use the Lord's land for evil or in anyway support evil & pride against the Lord. 2. The Church stands up to evil, saves and heals the people & the land. 3. Fight fire with fire and start put points on the scoreboard for the Lord. If evil can takeover Hollywood, media & schools what's to say good can not prevale & triumph over it thus taking back what should be the Lord's? The answer ought to be that evil can not prevale forever only the goodness created by the Lord may endure forever! So wholesome is in your hands that He the Lord created.
Yes the best Christmas pageant ever is a great movie I took my 4 yr old she liked it a moral movie so very rare many years ago the movie the star came out I love that movie for both of us
Angela, its so great to see a Christian ACTUALLY following most teachings of the bible, I've been watching your videos for some time now & I'm so glad i found it. I've always wanted to see a Christian talk about Halloween, modesty etc and I'm so glad you are trying your best to expose the wrong. Whats also mind blowing is that the more videos I watch of you the more I see similarities in Islam & Christianity and realise the reason we Muslims hold so much respect for Christians. I hope you stay on the right track and ultimately find the truth. May God bless you.
I saw this and was looking forward to seeing it based on the title and actor then saw a preview and was thinking whoa!!! What!!! You're right, geared to kids and inaccurate.
very on point. deception is so real, especially with those that believe their soul is unredeemable after dancing with the devil. through Jesus anything is possible. I pray for all those in Hollywood both believers and those who need saving. 🙏
Yeah my daughter saw the trailer and thought it was funny and wanted to watch it- and I said no way- we do not entertain the thought of satanic being a buddy- and we will not allow that spirit of mockery to be entertained in our minds or hearts. Praying for Jack blacks salvation- have mercy on him Jesus- he doesn’t know what he is doing 🙏🏼✝️
The biggest lie the Devil tells us is how much power he has. He tells atheists and others he has no power or he tells religious people he has too much power. Thank you for pointing out about Hell's true purpose. Also thank you for mentioning about the selling souls. I've mentioned both of those points in one of my videos too. Everyone seems to forget that the fallen are still owned by God. Their souls are not their own. Our souls are not our own. God Bless.
I share your channel to female friends and family who have young kids. Their reply, “this lady is too much. No thanks on the Bible beater. She needs to take a chill pill.” It really saddens me how some so fortunate to have a family disrespect God.
Thanks so much for the vid Angela!! l didn't even hear about this movie until now and I agree with you. Seeing this movie won't send anyone to hell, but it also depicts a false teaching about the enemy, which is what the Devil likes. He is the Ultimate Deceiver, but the Lord sees right through him and is always steps ahead of him. Btw, I'm throwing out my yoga mat today thanks to the Holy Spirits conviction from Isaiah's new book. Jesus is Lord.
Angela, thank you for this video. You did a great job of articulating the insidious nature of entertainment meant to lead viewers down a dark road to destruction
Thank you for bringing things like this to light. I've been convicted recently of different things like this. Why entertain thoughts that will lead you away from the truth the God has? I heard this aspect the other day. If you're not for God, then you are against him. It is black and white. You're either on God's side or your still in the darkness
Angela is right, and God is truth. I have been through this life long enough to have the veil of Satan's lies be lifted from my eyes. He cloaks wretchedness as beauty. I encourage you to seek truth and love through God, because the devil has many good people ensnared and decieved.

This is exactly why, as Christians, this is the first year we are not celebrating Christmas. If you ask any American what Christmas is about, they say anything BUT Christ. Even most Christians get it wrong! The wise men were NOT at the manger when Jesus was a baby! They were at His house when He was a child (probably about 2 years old because of the fact that Herod wanted to kill every male 2 and under). Besides, we all know Jesus was NOT born on December 25th. Jonathan Cahn has a video with some very compelling Biblical and historical evidence that Jesus was most likely born on Nissan 1 on the Hebrew calendar. This year, we have moved from celebrating secular holidays to celebrating BIBLICAL Holy Days (see Leviticus 23). I have found SO MUCH JOY in celebrating the dates and things that God says to celebrate! HALLELUYAH! 💖🙌💖
I can appreciate that sentiment. I still celebrate Jesus for Christmas. It's not historically accurate but it does not have to be. It's a great way to be with people you love and honor God. We celebrate Thanksgiving to honor God as well. I don't care what other people do. We go to church on Christmas. He is holy every day, even on Christmas. Pagans don't get to own everything celebrations, gift giving, or cultural traditions. It's an opportunity to give and where we get days off. That's the reality. We don't know when Jesus was born so December 25 is a good a day as any.
@@dorcasia109 So instead of looking at Biblical Holy days that God actually blessed you want to take traditions from pagans and slap Jesus on it? That’s not how it works. The world keeps showing you how evil Christmas is but you harden your heart because of “tradition.” Pagans understand the hypocrisy of being anti-Halloween but pro other holidays. It’s ALL witchcraft.
I found your channel shortly after seeing someone else react to this trailer, and I’ve been curious what your thoughts were since finding your channel. Thank you for speaking the truth in love!
I’m here to get conviction, I was looking for a video of on a break down on Santa Clause. I did see your reel about your top reasons you don’t introduce Santa clause on your kids. Love to hear you break down the history on Santa Clause.
Totally he not gonna be reigning in hell....he be tortured. Golly yes this is always portrayed in the movies. And we almost believe it....been a Christian for over 30 years. And all the other things you are talking abouy us on point and reminding us. Bless you my sista!
Thank you so much for your post. This is wonderful day. Somebody is aware of some of these awful movies that are coming out. They’re nasty. Thank you for teaching people who care.
I think you nailed it right on point, as usual Angela. I have not watched many movies, hardly anyone at all to be honest and I for sure will not watch “Dear Santa” (2024) either.
Yes spot on! Praise God he is in control and on the throne! Please cover wicked and the wizard of oz and the subliminal messages in it that would be so entertaining and get more ppl to see how evil hollywood is!
In Finnish tradition, Joulupukki as we call Santa "Jule tide goat" Jolly old Santa was actually an evil dude (wearing the horns) who visited from house to house and begged for food. It is a pagan tradition but in my childhood in the eighties we had the regular Santa Clause visiting us (yup, in Finnish tradition Santa comes to visit while we are awake... well it was my dad actually and I gos so scared that I went to my bedroom crying untill mom picked me up to see Jolly ol Santa). Saint Nicholaus was a historical person who existed but he never wanted to wear the "Santa clause" as in hollywood.
The target here is children. He wants the children, so he's trying to make himself appear "friendly", "cool", "fun", "funny", "powerful", etc... Which is why the lead actor is a child. He's targeting children to recruit them into the occult. He's also doing this in that stupid Fortnite video game. He's in there too.
When you mentioned the devil being tortured in hell at 4:20… what is your take on hell testimony’s where ppl say the devil and demons “tortured” them etc… are they not real?? Because they do claim they turn to Jesus bcs of the experience, but idk weather to believe there story on visiting hell
Hell fire is NOT eternal or everlasting, the punishment for sin is an eternal punishment meaning the fire God uses to destroy the wicked will consume them but stop once they turned to ashes. Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. There is no burning fire at Sodom and Gomorrha today, these cities have suffered an ETERNAL PUNISHMENT i.e they have been destroyed/razed to the ground. Genesis 19:24-25 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire FROM the LORD OUT OF HEAVEN The consistent theme is God uses His Fire to destroy the wicked who will be burned up; TOTAL DESTRUCTION Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 The Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

I don't know about such testamonies but I think, people might get tortured by demons. Revelation states the demons are cast into the fire but there isn't any verse about torture, neither of demons nor humans or from demons.
It is my understanding that there are two different places, 1) hell and 2) the lake of fire. People think or describe them as the same place but they are not. Hell is a holding place. Demons can be present in hell and available to torture people there. The ultimate resting place for satan and his demons is the lake of fire. When Angela says satan is destined for “hell” I believe she means “the lake of fire”. People use them interchangeably.
Everyone that has heard of this movie knows that this movie isn't meant to be taken seriously and that some Christians are looking too much into it when in reality it's just another forgettable movie everyone is gonna forget about by literally next week And don't worry kids are smarter and the parents are too to make sure that they won't look at this movie and take it too far Don't worry our world has good people and they ain't going away anytime soon just from a forgettable movie
Just finished watching the movie and it really isn't what everyone is crying abt. Spoiler alert the kid reluctantly sells his soul to prevent his parents from divorcing, we find out that he isn't the real Satan but just a low level demon lying and after an argument with the real Satan he changes and becomes an angel and the kid never sold his soul. They never make you feel like he is your friend throughout the movie and remind you constantly he is a demon and he is a bad person and the kid is aware of that and does everything he can to prevent his soul from being taken. Honestly not that bad and well thought out and this is coming from a devote Christian ✋️
"This narrative, this sinister agenda, is ultimately Satan's way to garner whatever worship whatever grace that he can get and he's gonna do it through you ignorance, so don't be ignorant of it".
Not a coincidence Jack Black is in this movie. He's dark & is definitely showing/shown where his loyalties lie. This is horrible & it's directed towards kids. There will be accountability for this very soon. Thanks for sharing. Probably wouldn't have known about this.
Thank you for what you said. Always see the demons torturing for eternity the damned, that is Hollywoodland and not the truth. God will torment evil and Satan and damned for eternity.
I had a dream with the devil where is asked me for a favor in the future in exchange for everything this world has to offer, the exact words use. I said no but I now understand why my I’m soul was not asked for because it is Gods and not mine to give. But my actions would have led me to hell had I not come to Jesus and our Lord
I have absolutely no desire to see this movie. Not only is it evil, it looks really stupid. Thanks for your video! I'd never even heard of this movie. Remember that God will not lose a single one of His. Not one.
'Wicked' the movie and white witch Ariana Grande are also cute. And funny. 'Mommy, mommy, when i grow up i wanna be a fairy like Ariana.' 'Yeah baby, everybody loves Ariana. Male or female or inbetweeners.'
If anything , satan’s reign is now. As he’s the “ god of this world.” Let us take a good look around us, brothers and sisters. Anyhow, praise the Lord ✝️
I've really been noticing this theme where media will try to insert satan into any form of entertainment and pass it off as "edgy" marketing. But I this point it's so played out, I'm convinced it's to see how many people they can piss off and have them talking about it. Basically free publicity.
I agree with you, most people will say: Oh Chill Out, it's just a funny movie calm down, but you see, that's exactly how the seed is put into our minds, a seemingly harmless way....and Jack Black? not surprised at all he's in this....and PS those age limits mean nothing, kids will all be watching this over the holiday no doubt...and be indoctrinated with bad behaviors like gambling ...etc
satan comes to do NOTHING BUT steal, kill & destroy. Love your teaching. Great topics ang great Truth
Amen! Come to Jesus to have life and life more abundantly!
So Satan is a MAGA?
Nope it is Kamala supporters she said to Jesus Christ believers that they are at the wrong rally!!!!!!!
Also he has been reborn 3 years ago
RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE. Stand firm and speak truth brothers and sisters!!

did you listen? you can't sell your soul - satan isn't that powerful' the Soul is defined by Christians as our (mind, body & emotions)
Our Body and Spirit belong to God, the Father.
@@jenrich111 You definitely can sell your soul to Satan by using a ritual.
@@thaistompYou can't sell your soul. The scripture says anyone in Christ cannot be torn from Him. The scripture also defines Christ's sacrifice as redeeming, that we are bought out of the spiritual evil and sin.
How do you know that's what the movie teaches when as of this comment, it's not even out yet?
Yeah, because who would make a comedy, shame on them.
This grieves me so much 😢
Amazing job with this video 🫡
This is cultural conditioning of the worst kind
Very well-put. Not to mention: money talks. If you pay money to see this, your money is telling Hollywood, "Yes. We like this. Make more of this." Plus, you're coming into agreement with it by giving it your time of day to invest into watching it.
I have never had Satan described the way you did. It really painted a picture and helped me to better understand his place in this world. Thank you, as a new Christian it really makes so much more sense to me.
She described him that way because that’s how the Bible describes him. Sister in Christ, please study your Bible.
As a new Christian, it is pivotal that you study the Word of God for yourself. Do not rely on others to tell you what it says. Do not assume Christian tradition must be biblical. Don’t assume that Pastor’s know God. Know the Word and you will not be deceived.
May God bless you and keep you and may you be obedient to his commandments❤️
@ I am, again I am a NEW Christian.
I remember growing up believing satan was fake and it was because of how I saw it characterized this way. When I got older and I had a conversation with one who was truly evil, confessed murder to me, terrified me. I wasn't even Christian yet but I knew that the devil was real.
I have a coworker who is a satanist, she is under the great deception. I told her JESUS Loves her and is waiting for her. HIS Joy, Love and Peace will heal her hurts.
His greatest trick is making us believe he doesn't exist
@iheartjbgccb 💯%, also the deception that hell does not exist or that it's one huge party full of what this world offers after death.
So tired of literally every movie being either terrible, or demonic, or just crap...i wish we could get back to good wholesome movies again..at least making a few...this is just ugh...another movie where kids are the victim...
The new movie The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever is getting great reviews. Dallas Jenkins directed
Thank YHWH for Angel studios & the Chosen ✝️🙏🏼💜
Our society first has to be remade wholesome. There's only a few ways to do that. 1. Remove any of those who seek to use the Lord's land for evil or in anyway support evil & pride against the Lord. 2. The Church stands up to evil, saves and heals the people & the land. 3. Fight fire with fire and start put points on the scoreboard for the Lord. If evil can takeover Hollywood, media & schools what's to say good can not prevale & triumph over it thus taking back what should be the Lord's? The answer ought to be that evil can not prevale forever only the goodness created by the Lord may endure forever!
So wholesome is in your hands that He the Lord created.
Yes the best Christmas pageant ever is a great movie I took my 4 yr old she liked it a moral movie so very rare many years ago the movie the star came out I love that movie for both of us
Angela, its so great to see a Christian ACTUALLY following most teachings of the bible, I've been watching your videos for some time now & I'm so glad i found it. I've always wanted to see a Christian talk about Halloween, modesty etc and I'm so glad you are trying your best to expose the wrong. Whats also mind blowing is that the more videos I watch of you the more I see similarities in Islam & Christianity and realise the reason we Muslims hold so much respect for Christians.
I hope you stay on the right track and ultimately find the truth. May God bless you.
That's nice of you but, you seem to be confused about what the quran actually says about Christians
Can you elaborate please? Genuinely curious as i was also under the impression that islam believes in tbe bible and in jesus? @@jonathanguyot624
I saw this and was looking forward to seeing it based on the title and actor then saw a preview and was thinking whoa!!! What!!! You're right, geared to kids and inaccurate.
very on point. deception is so real, especially with those that believe their soul is unredeemable after dancing with the devil. through Jesus anything is possible. I pray for all those in Hollywood both believers and those who need saving. 🙏
You are correct 👍 salvation through Jesus is always necessary even for all our souls
Thank you for saying something about this. Yes, please do the movie Wicked.
Yes, thank you for ruining this movie because of the religious agenda you want to push.
Yeah my daughter saw the trailer and thought it was funny and wanted to watch it- and I said no way- we do not entertain the thought of satanic being a buddy- and we will not allow that spirit of mockery to be entertained in our minds or hearts.
Praying for Jack blacks salvation- have mercy on him Jesus- he doesn’t know what he is doing 🙏🏼✝️
Released the week of Thanksgiving too! Ugh
I love your message here! Such an Angel . God bless you mama❤
Come on!! Beautifully done Angela. I pray this message gets to exactly every person it needs to.
Amen sis praise God 🙏💯🔥🙌
You’re a very eloquent speaker Angela ❤
The biggest lie the Devil tells us is how much power he has. He tells atheists and others he has no power or he tells religious people he has too much power. Thank you for pointing out about Hell's true purpose. Also thank you for mentioning about the selling souls. I've mentioned both of those points in one of my videos too. Everyone seems to forget that the fallen are still owned by God. Their souls are not their own. Our souls are not our own. God Bless.
Preach the gospel to the ends of the earth ❤
Thanks for playing the trailer so we all can see whats really happening.
I encourage all believers to pray and fast
" The devil isn’t stupid, but he counts on you being stupid. "
I share your channel to female friends and family who have young kids. Their reply, “this lady is too much. No thanks on the Bible beater. She needs to take a chill pill.” It really saddens me how some so fortunate to have a family disrespect God.
Or some will say, “I don’t care what your buy bull says.”
What matters is you tried. May they open their eyes one day or they will have to answer to God one day
Amen sister God is mightier and stronger than the devil 😂❤
Thanks so much for the vid Angela!! l didn't even hear about this movie until now and I agree with you. Seeing this movie won't send anyone to hell, but it also depicts a false teaching about the enemy, which is what the Devil likes. He is the Ultimate Deceiver, but the Lord sees right through him and is always steps ahead of him. Btw, I'm throwing out my yoga mat today thanks to the Holy Spirits conviction from Isaiah's new book. Jesus is Lord.
Of course it's Jack Black! Ngl, me from a year or so ago would've gone to see it.. feel kinda dirty saying that 😅
Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.
Angela, thank you for this video. You did a great job of articulating the insidious nature of entertainment meant to lead viewers down a dark road to destruction
Thank you for bringing things like this to light. I've been convicted recently of different things like this. Why entertain thoughts that will lead you away from the truth the God has? I heard this aspect the other day. If you're not for God, then you are against him. It is black and white. You're either on God's side or your still in the darkness
It is wild to see how bold everything demonic has become and how even some Christian's think it's "not that deep"
Oh it's deep alright. Wake up Christians
Think the way the devil thinks so we can victory over him..wow! Thats is so profound!!! Thank you for sharing the truth! 🙏✝️
Angela is right, and God is truth. I have been through this life long enough to have the veil of Satan's lies be lifted from my eyes. He cloaks wretchedness as beauty. I encourage you to seek truth and love through God, because the devil has many good people ensnared and decieved.
Beautifully said

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW 😮
This is exactly why, as Christians, this is the first year we are not celebrating Christmas.
If you ask any American what Christmas is about, they say anything BUT Christ.
Even most Christians get it wrong! The wise men were NOT at the manger when Jesus was a baby! They were at His house when He was a child (probably about 2 years old because of the fact that Herod wanted to kill every male 2 and under).
Besides, we all know Jesus was NOT born on December 25th.
Jonathan Cahn has a video with some very compelling Biblical and historical evidence that Jesus was most likely born on Nissan 1 on the Hebrew calendar.
This year, we have moved from celebrating secular holidays to celebrating BIBLICAL Holy Days (see Leviticus 23).
I have found SO MUCH JOY in celebrating the dates and things that God says to celebrate!
HALLELUYAH! 💖🙌💖
I can appreciate that sentiment. I still celebrate Jesus for Christmas. It's not historically accurate but it does not have to be. It's a great way to be with people you love and honor God. We celebrate Thanksgiving to honor God as well. I don't care what other people do. We go to church on Christmas. He is holy every day, even on Christmas. Pagans don't get to own everything celebrations, gift giving, or cultural traditions. It's an opportunity to give and where we get days off. That's the reality. We don't know when Jesus was born so December 25 is a good a day as any.
@dorcasia109
I still celebrate Jesus every single day. ❤️🙌❤️
@@dorcasia109 So instead of looking at Biblical Holy days that God actually blessed you want to take traditions from pagans and slap Jesus on it? That’s not how it works. The world keeps showing you how evil Christmas is but you harden your heart because of “tradition.” Pagans understand the hypocrisy of being anti-Halloween but pro other holidays. It’s ALL witchcraft.
So glad someone else understands that Satan is NOT in hell... He's the little "g" god of this Earth, and THIS is where He dwells.
Don't forget he had to quit his music group tour because his partner promoted Trump getting shot at saying, "don't miss next time."
SATAN=SANTA
I'm surprised it took everyone this long to get it.
I found your channel shortly after seeing someone else react to this trailer, and I’ve been curious what your thoughts were since finding your channel. Thank you for speaking the truth in love!
I’m here to get conviction, I was looking for a video of on a break down on Santa Clause. I did see your reel about your top reasons you don’t introduce Santa clause on your kids. Love to hear you break down the history on Santa Clause.
I live you girly❤❤
Totally he not gonna be reigning in hell....he be tortured. Golly yes this is always portrayed in the movies. And we almost believe it....been a Christian for over 30 years.
And all the other things you are talking abouy us on point and reminding us.
Bless you my sista!
Thank you so much for your post. This is wonderful day. Somebody is aware of some of these awful movies that are coming out. They’re nasty. Thank you for teaching people who care.
I think you nailed it right on point, as usual Angela.
I have not watched many movies, hardly anyone at all to be honest and I for sure will not watch “Dear Santa” (2024) either.
YIKES.
Definitely geared to desensitizing. “It’s just a kids movie!”
Sad thinking of all the parents who will take their adolescent children to go see this “comedy”
It's on stream
Thank you for this
Yes spot on! Praise God he is in control and on the throne! Please cover wicked and the wizard of oz and the subliminal messages in it that would be so entertaining and get more ppl to see how evil hollywood is!
In Finnish tradition, Joulupukki as we call Santa "Jule tide goat" Jolly old Santa was actually an evil dude (wearing the horns) who visited from house to house and begged for food. It is a pagan tradition but in my childhood in the eighties we had the regular Santa Clause visiting us (yup, in Finnish tradition Santa comes to visit while we are awake... well it was my dad actually and I gos so scared that I went to my bedroom crying untill mom picked me up to see Jolly ol Santa). Saint Nicholaus was a historical person who existed but he never wanted to wear the "Santa clause" as in hollywood.
My mom started saying that she doesn't believe hell is real.
The target here is children. He wants the children, so he's trying to make himself appear "friendly", "cool", "fun", "funny", "powerful", etc... Which is why the lead actor is a child. He's targeting children to recruit them into the occult. He's also doing this in that stupid Fortnite video game. He's in there too.
When you mentioned the devil being tortured in hell at 4:20… what is your take on hell testimony’s where ppl say the devil and demons “tortured” them etc… are they not real?? Because they do claim they turn to Jesus bcs of the experience, but idk weather to believe there story on visiting hell
Hell fire is NOT eternal or everlasting, the punishment for sin is an eternal punishment meaning the fire God uses to destroy the wicked will consume them but stop once they turned to ashes.
Jude 1:7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
There is no burning fire at Sodom and Gomorrha today, these cities have suffered an ETERNAL PUNISHMENT i.e they have been destroyed/razed to the ground.
Genesis 19:24-25 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire FROM the LORD OUT OF HEAVEN
The consistent theme is God uses His Fire to destroy the wicked who will be burned up; TOTAL DESTRUCTION
Malachi 4:1
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 Thessalonians 2:8
The Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

I don't know about such testamonies but I think, people might get tortured by demons.
Revelation states the demons are cast into the fire but there isn't any verse about torture, neither of demons nor humans or from demons.
It is my understanding that there are two different places, 1) hell and 2) the lake of fire. People think or describe them as the same place but they are not. Hell is a holding place. Demons can be present in hell and available to torture people there. The ultimate resting place for satan and his demons is the lake of fire. When Angela says satan is destined for “hell” I believe she means “the lake of fire”. People use them interchangeably.
Have mercy
Everyone that has heard of this movie knows that this movie isn't meant to be taken seriously and that some Christians are looking too much into it when in reality it's just another forgettable movie everyone is gonna forget about by literally next week
And don't worry kids are smarter and the parents are too to make sure that they won't look at this movie and take it too far
Don't worry our world has good people and they ain't going away anytime soon just from a forgettable movie
THANK YOU
Please make a video of AGATHA ALL ALONG of MARVEL… It is very important to raise awareness
that whole show is witchcraft stuff and there's a whole bunch of lgbtq stuff too
@ yes they say.. it is by far the most gay show of marvel
@@dr.asherjoneja925 yep
Just finished watching the movie and it really isn't what everyone is crying abt. Spoiler alert the kid reluctantly sells his soul to prevent his parents from divorcing, we find out that he isn't the real Satan but just a low level demon lying and after an argument with the real Satan he changes and becomes an angel and the kid never sold his soul. They never make you feel like he is your friend throughout the movie and remind you constantly he is a demon and he is a bad person and the kid is aware of that and does everything he can to prevent his soul from being taken. Honestly not that bad and well thought out and this is coming from a devote Christian ✋️
Excellent explanation!
"This narrative, this sinister agenda, is ultimately Satan's way to garner whatever worship whatever grace that he can get and he's gonna do it through you ignorance, so don't be ignorant of it".
At least this movie does us the service of letting us know who is on what side, like Post Malone.
Not a coincidence Jack Black is in this movie. He's dark & is definitely showing/shown where his loyalties lie. This is horrible & it's directed towards kids. There will be accountability for this very soon. Thanks for sharing. Probably wouldn't have known about this.
Thank you for what you said. Always see the demons torturing for eternity the damned, that is Hollywoodland and not the truth. God will torment evil and Satan and damned for eternity.
Can you make a video on the Wicked movie? tysm Angela!
I had a dream with the devil where is asked me for a favor in the future in exchange for everything this world has to offer, the exact words use. I said no but I now understand why my I’m soul was not asked for because it is Gods and not mine to give. But my actions would have led me to hell had I not come to Jesus and our Lord
This is really sad
He hates also because, we were created in HIS image.
I have absolutely no desire to see this movie. Not only is it evil, it looks really stupid. Thanks for your video! I'd never even heard of this movie. Remember that God will not lose a single one of His. Not one.
Well, it’s out now. Time to watch it and form an opinion for ourselves.
Jack black constantly promoting the enemy lately
Every time i know he will be in a movie i just don't watch it
For a while I thought Chris Pratt had crappy agents but I’m now under the impression jack blacks agents are even worse
the thing that it says, From the minds That Brought You Dumb and Dumber? They are no match for that movie. Dumb and dumber is a classic.
'Wicked' the movie and
white witch Ariana Grande
are also cute. And funny.
'Mommy, mommy, when i grow up
i wanna be a fairy like Ariana.'
'Yeah baby, everybody loves Ariana.
Male or female or inbetweeners.'
The movie called Red One is highly demonic too. Very frightening scenes for children
I just want to pray for that kid in the movie and I hope he truly does encounter Jesus. I pray for him to be saved. I will pray for his family too.
If anything , satan’s reign is now. As he’s the “ god of this world.” Let us take a good look around us, brothers and sisters. Anyhow, praise the Lord ✝️
Soon as the music started playing it was like, I'm out. Going to listen to Sailor Mars sing Last Christmas after the video.
Looks like a good movie to watch. Thanks
Great Job with this video
I've really been noticing this theme where media will try to insert satan into any form of entertainment and pass it off as "edgy" marketing. But I this point it's so played out, I'm convinced it's to see how many people they can piss off and have them talking about it. Basically free publicity.
I agree with you, most people will say: Oh Chill Out, it's just a funny movie calm down, but you see, that's exactly how the seed is put into our minds, a seemingly harmless way....and Jack Black? not surprised at all he's in this....and PS those age limits mean nothing, kids will all be watching this over the holiday no doubt...and be indoctrinated with bad behaviors like gambling ...etc
No way, run for your dear life. Satan continues to use his pathetic strategies
Everyone please pray for the devil to be gone and removed from me forever!!
Hii Angela! 😊
