Min53.00 dedicating objects. I had a friend who was a butcher at the local supermarket. There was a warlock who came in periodically to buy bones for his rituals. The butcher was born again and didn't want to sell bones to this warlock any more but had to because of his job. SO he would take the bones back into the freezer and pray over them and then sell them to the warlock. The warlock began to complain that the bones were not working anymore in his rituals. Jesus is king!
Moved into a rental home in Oklahoma in the early '80's. - I was a Baptist at the time. I had read previously, to pray and dedicate the house to the Lord. While I was waiting for the moving truck, I did this, unbeknownst to anyone else. Lovely home, lovely landlords. Every time I went to pay rent they would ask "is everything okay" but kind of in a weird way. After about five years they told us there were ghosts in the house. We had never encountered them. I asked around and found out most of the neighborhood had them. (it was supposedly an old Indian burial ground) It freaked me out and I wanted to move but thought, we never had problems and we had cheap rent for a lovely home so I was convinced what I had done had been honored by the Lord.
Just did this in our new home before we spent a single night here. I’m not aware of anything for sure but we sleep well amd know the Lord honors our desire to make this His home for us.
I’m a military brat. We moved every 2/3 years of my childhood. My Dad would always insist to pray a blessing and spend the night in a new home before the fam joined him. The practice was cute, chivalrous and harmless so no one really objected. When we moved into base housing at Wright Patterson in 1979 things got jumbled and became a mess with our household stuff being shipped and we ended up taking possession of the house early. My Mom, siblings and I were in the house when my Dad started ‘house cleaning’. We heard a clanging sound followed by the window breaking from the inside out. It wasn’t a limb falling or a bird flying into it. It came from inside the room we were in. My dad commanded us to pray for the Holy Spirt protection while he rebuked it in Jesus name. It was the first and only time I’ve had a supernatural experience and it was also the day I asked for salvation. That’s my salvation story. Nope, never had a problem in the house afterwards.
About 15 years ago I was reading Derek Prince and I stopped and asked the Lord to reveal anything in our home that was demonic, occultic etc.. About 20 minutes later I remembered a box in the attic that had memorabilia from my high school and college years. I hadn’t touched that box in decades except twice when we moved so I was certain it was the Lord directing me to it in response to my prayer. When I opened the box there were two things I had bought in Greenwich Village, in New York City in the summer of 1968. Back then it was all hippies, pagan spirituality and drugs. One was a container of incense. The other was an amulet with an astrological sign corresponding to my birthdate that I had worn around my neck throughout that summer. I immediately renounced the spirits and practices associated with them, confessed my sin and threw them away. Forty years later God wanted them gone.
This is so cool. I had a very similar experience! I was listening to a Derek Prince sermon where he was describing getting rid of an old tapestry he had been given. I asked the Lord to show me any objects that I had that needed to go. I was immediately shown a dagger that was shaped like dragon claws at both ends with orbs in the claws. I had bought it at a garage sale when I was collecting knives at 14. I was 30 when God reminded me it was In a tote in a closet and needed to go! God is awesome in the truest sense.
We had a house built for us in the early 2000’s and wrote scripture verses on many of the 2 by 4’s before they were covered up. Always felt love and comfort in that house.
In 1966 I visited Hawaii with a friend and bought two ceramic tiki gods about 10 in tall. They were on my book shelf above my bead. In 1971 I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and also went thru a deliverance session. When I returned home the eyes of those tiki gods were glowing red and looking very angry. I immediately put them in a bag and took them to the garage and threw them down on the concrete floor and smashed them to pieces. I have never bought 'innocent' trinkets when travel ing since then.
This is a very good example. In fact, a lot of Western tourists, even Christian, unknowingly buy stuff in India that actually has a lot of Hindu pagan symbolism, but subtle. It's important to run it by an Indian Christian so you don't take back demonic stuff with you.
As a child, I had a pink satin unicorn hanging above my bed. I was having lots of nightmares. My Christian sister-in-law stayed over and slept in my bed. She took down the unicorn stating that she would never sleep with it above her. I didn't put it back above my bed and the nightmares stopped.
@@loucjenk All that I can tell you is what happened. I didn't think that there was anything wrong with them, but if there is it's because they may have been animals created outside of God's creation by the fallen angels or the nephilim.
@@terridolecki8185they were used in Christian symbolism in medieval times, sometimes as a symbol of Christ because they could only by captured by women of pure heart who were virgins.
@@littleboots9800interesting… but then again the Vatican has tons of occultism symbolism and try selling it as good/holy so who knows with the unicorn. It could’ve just been the item itself was accursed/worshipped by someone etc ..
As a missionary, I often work in other countries and we always tell the teams to be very careful about what they buy and also about what they allow native people to give them. In a lot of countries, there is a mix of some sort of local witchcraft and Catholicism that causes many people to say, “I am a Christian“ while they are still practicing, pagan rituals that they just see as part of their ethnic culture. When I was working in Israel, they took us to a store that they told us was “Christian”. Thankfully, the woman I was with warned me to look at all the things in the store carefully because there were things that had the evil eye, the hamsa, And other symbols to do with Kabala. I ended up not buying anything in that store at all because since they had such a mix of things I did not want to buy anything. Sometimes it has been a little awkward when someone has given us something to then turn around and ask an interpreter or a local pastor questions to make sure that we don’t take things home with us that we shouldn’t. Yet, it’s so important that we honor God in all things that even if it was a gift, even if, it’s something that would remind us of someone we got to minister to, or even if it’s just that it comes from a country where we have worked, we must not take those things home if there is any doubt in our mind at all. God has been very faithful over the years to protect me and to give me wisdom even when I didn’t understand exactly , what someone was trying to give me. Just thought I would share that perspective because we have run into many people over the years who did shorter mission work in another nation and brought things home like African mask, and things like that, and had no idea what they were inviting into their house. Thanks so much for all you do! God bless you guys abundantly and multiply all your efforts in building the kingdom for Jesus Christ!
I love what Joshua said at the end this topic may lead folks into fear. No brothers and sisters let us grow and remain confident in Gods power and his love for his church. Pray and ask God what items need to go in your life remain in the peace of the Lord friends
Paused the video at 56:00 to speak towards the 'Burn house to the ground' question. I unknowingly bought a home about 10 years ago and only until somewhat recently did I realize it had a demon or two (truly ignorance on my part). All I know, is that it was a party home and I bought it with the intention of fixing it up as it was very rough and foreclosed. Over the years, I'd have dreams about demons sucking me into the shower or closet and weirdly that's where stuff would fall over constantly and wake me up at night. I once woke up to a demon trying to attack me but...at the same time felt like I had a literal force field around me. During that situation I was pushed a few inches down into my mattress and then it was gone. I'd have very real demonic encounters where I could feel things sitting on my bed and moving the bed (about the weight of a dog jumping off a bed). I have video of my security camera moving on it's own (couldn't re-create that for the life of me) Around the time I started to think I was suffering from pretty bad depression...and not doing so hot I had prayed for help/understanding and thats when I found this channel. Some of the first episodes were on deliverance where Ken Fish was being interviewed and I watched a few other videos here and realized...I think my home has a demon. I prayed over it, prayed for confirmation and shortly after I had a dream in which I essentially tricked 3 demons out of my home and they were so fiercely trying to get back in it felt like the walls were going to come down. A bit of an odd dream I'll admit, but ever since then nothing has fallen over once and the dark oppressive atmosphere is utterly and completely gone. All that to say, and I realize I can't go into crazy detail, from my extremely limited experience it would seem that you can pray over a home and rid it of demons. Also great episode as I've tried to wrestle with how to approach a lot of these questions and yes I realize I sound crazy... For as much spiritual attack stuff as I've gotten over the years I've also seen God heal and do some pretty cool stuff as well, to end on a positive note.
Burning the house was Old Testament, we have Jesus to overcome things buuuut if the house was built as an occultic church then idk 🤷♀️ better to be safe than sorry I guess 😂. Yea you can get rid of them/demonic spirits through Jesus… but you can also be inviting them in with certain sins, like being under the influence of pharmacia , etc .. whether in ur house or following u around. When you have those nightmares you can call on Jesus through prayer in your dreams and it will fix it (sometimes it takes practice to remember in ur dreams but it definitely works.
Love this discussion bc many Christians may entirely reject this topic altogether bc it comes after so many of the things we "like." Harry Potter is surprisingly an area of much contention with Christians. Literally, a fantasy about witchcraft, sorcery, nercromancy, possession, cursed objects, etc seems okay bc it's wonderfully produced. Hard to celebrate or endorse when Galatians 5:19-21 says anyone living this way will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. Very strange. People may have different convictions, but one of the enemy's most effective tools is convincing people, especially God's people, that "it's not that big of a deal." Very similar to the Garden of Eden. The enemy said, "It's just an apple, you won't surely die."
@@kayjay8265 I would be okay with getting rid of both of these, honestly. However, I'd suggest that it is easier to conclude on the surface that a Christmas tree with lights and a cute Easter bunny with eggs are okay. Even though the deeper study suggests that the two have pagan roots, they are certainly less detectable and perhaps plausibly deniable than a literal school of witchcraft & wizardry sponsored by self-professing witches and warlocks.
@JesusistheonetrueGod When I lived I the UK and kids were lining the block waiting for the next Potter book I resolved to never let my kids read it after being told by a Christian lady who used to be a watch tell us that the issue she has is the spells are real spells and many names used are not fantasy but real demons etc. Tried to let other Christian parents know years later with no one bothered to even check it out
I have so many testimonies of the Holy Spirit leading me/ my family of getting rid of objects. Disney, gifts given that came from other countries, also furniture, jewelry,clothes etc from my family where the false religion of Christian Science was practiced for 4 generations. His Holy Spirit will always lead and guide us not in fear but in love to close off any way the enemy can use to attack us.
We have three similar stories as the dreamcatcher story. It might seem crazy until it happens to you or your family! The first time it happened, my daughter started having night terrors. My husband had a dream about the origin of the demon behind the attacks. He described it to me so we could search for whatever the cursed object was in our home. It was a Moana toothbrush from the dentist she received earlier that week. Once we properly disposed of it- no more night terrors. It happened some time later, again, with a kid bracelet from a homemade jewelry store. It had little bears on it. Night terrors, husband had a dream, easily found the source. Third time was a book gifted to us. I didn't feel right about it, but kept it anyway. Night terrors for a few nights, Holy Spirit reninded me of the book, disposed of it, and no longer have had issues. We are extremely careful as to what comes in our home after those experiences! We refuse to let the demonic have access to our children! Thank you for speaking on this, as you don't hear these teachings often enough in the church.
Wow, that's crazy! Thanks for sharing. Just curious, have you ever had any notable issues with clothing brands? Lately it occurred to me that we have some Nike brand clothes (who doesn't, right?) and I realized that the company Nike is named after the Greek Goddess, Nike. Not sure if I should get rid of the clothing just to be safe. Thoughts?
@@nattles345keep it unless you’re worshipping some demonic entity. If you’re a believer in Christ don’t sweat it or soon you will be naked living outside because you’re afraid everything is demonic.
@@nattles345 I think everyone has to decide what is best for themselves and their family. There are plenty of gray areas that we don't have clear answers for.
I researched the little golden idol in the Lego Indiana Jones set and it is indeed an actual replica of a ( South American? I dont remember) idol. We passed it through the fire and got rid of it.
Such a great episode! So many people think that the old testament is "old hat" and not necessary for today, but our God is a jealous God!! Yahweh don't share worship space with anyone! He is supreme, and this separation is carried from the OT to the NT. Come out and be separate, touch not the unclean thing. 😊 Loved this episode, guys. Great job 👏
When i was a kid, we were often visited by an east indian missionary who once said that, though he dealt with demons habitually in new delhi, when he was driving the 3 hours from the airport to our house, he sensed a blanket of demonic darkness over our region ( an indian reservation) in a magnitude unlike anything he experienced in all of India.
@@JesusistheonetrueGodmeaning the missionary was from India , the poster lived in America on a Native American reservation (some call them Indian reservations as in North America Indians not Indian from Indian. It’s super common that some tribes are pagan, some have converted to Christianity … just depends on what’s been going on the rez.
My college roommate accepted a Book of Mormon from two missionaries so he would be able to engage better with them the next time they came. I immediately felt spiritual attacks when he came in the house and was led to tear random pages from the book. I didn’t pee on it, but I might have written the word “lies” here and there. The attack stopped and we kept it.
I have so much respect for my Sunday school teacher who is so incredibly well-versed in the Word. But he does occasionally say things like, this probably wasn't really Samuel; we have no idea whether this was Samuel. And I'm looking at the screen with the scripture in literal black and white and saying, it says right there it was Samuel! I take my Bible like I take my God: seriously. And I expect others to do the same.
I imagine you're speaking of the witch of endor. People debate whether or not that was really Samuel because the bible never authorizes witches and warlocks to summon the spirit of God's people anywhere. Imagine that you're with God, and someone is able to snatch you from His presence. But God says this: Psalm 31:5 ESV [5] Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. John 10:27-29 ESV [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. [28] I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. [29] My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. Your teacher is not wrong with his suggestion. What appeared to be Samuel may have been a deceiving spirit.
@@JesusistheonetrueGod God never says that Samuel was snatched by the witch. Yes, Samuel appears to be retrieved because Saul wanted him, but we never get told whether a messenger from God or someone else retrieves Samuel. The witch was shocked to see him. What God does say is that Samuel came up out of the earth and spoke. And since God said it, I believe it. "And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. Then Samuel said to Saul, 'Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?'”
@@EllenSmyth It also says in the same passage that she saw a god coming out of the Earth. Do you apply the same logic of "since God said it, I believe it?" 1 Samuel 28:13 ESV [13] The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up out of the earth."
@@JesusistheonetrueGod I mean that I believe that the Word of God is inerrant and infallible and actually God speaking. So when 1 Sam 28:14-15 says, "And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. Then Samuel said to Saul," God said that. God is saying that Saul *knew* it was Samuel.
I was given some crystals for my birthday from a coworker over a year ago and I wouldn’t say I have noticed anything strange and thought of them as only pretty rocks that are a part of God’s creation . I never thought of them as having any “power” and they help to remind me to pray for my coworker’s salvation. While she does believe a lot of new age things she has been asking me more about Jesus and God and has talked about baptism.
It's only wrong if you're using the crystals like the new age people do. God created them and there isn't anything wrong with having pretty crystals. It's all about your intentions with whatever the object is. Another example would be a rosary or something like that. Wearing a rosary isn't bad, but if you do like some Catholics and make it more than a necklace. Then you've crossed a line
Take the good, leave the bad. Trust in our freedom in Christ and use discernment. Titus 1:15 ESV [15] To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. Jesus lives ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLARITY AND CONFUSION IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS HIM WHO IS THE TRUTH , THE DARKNESS IS THE DEVIL THE LIAR, IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT, MEANING GUIDED BY HIM ALONE WE ARE SET FREE FROM ALL DARKNESS,
I'm looking forward to next week guys! I just became the teaching pastor at a church who bought a building that was formerly an LDS church. It's a cool story where folks had been delivered from the deception and just left the church until it completely closed. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this kind of stuff.
I went to a funeral in a masonic cemetery several years ago, reluctantly. But I went. The ceremony was not masonic at all, but I was slammed physically shortly thereafter.
Agreed! My uncle and aunt had an entire room for their Buddhist statues and prayed to them and my bedroom was right next to that room and I always was scared at night when I was a kid. Also, had nightmares when I slept in my friend’s daughter’s vacant room that had a dream 🛌 catcher on the lamp…
When I lived in Germany around 18/19 I bought 2 “cute” figurines. One was an Angel and the other was a devil. I would put them together or facing each other when I went out to work. Whenever I came back they would be facing opposite directions. I thought it was a fun conversation piece until a friend saw it happened and told me to throw away those demon possessed figurines
It would be funny if it was just magnetic. If you still have the, pray over them and expel anything in Jesus name and ask for discernment. Destroy it if you’re unsure and there’s no strong sentimental value
Wow this is good stuff...had my share of crazy stuff i had to get rid of...a ornate mirror that was part of my grandmas shrine in her home..she had placed a Buddha in front of mirror...even souvenirs from foreign countries can be cursed..i heard a long time ago that curses are placed on objects before they are bought...and i dont want to forget my boys when they were teenagers the nuddie mags under the mattress...needless to say the enemy kept me busy..lol
It’s been like this for the past 4 years! Started watching them in 2020. Always annoying with his volume. Love these guys, but not their sound levels. ❤
We prayed over every house we owned. I felt a death spirit in a public parcel in Basel. I asked the Lord, became the answer it used to be a Jewish graviard and to objective my impression I did research and saw that it used to be a graviard.
I'd like to hear more discussion about what this looks like with regard to modern Western religion. Our gods are not little Buddha or Krishna statues in our culture. Our gods are things like man and Science. Our entire American medical establishment is built on the foundation of godless things like Humanism, Scientism, and baby murder. Our government school system is entangled with Humanism, Scientism, and sexual perversion. And yet few people bat an eyelash -- and certainly no one wants to talk about -- what it means to participate in these things vs. properly separating religion from "neutral" things false religion has abused, vs. utterly destroying them.
Anything can be a false idol if you worship it, and it’s good to recognize when others worship it, however, actual science is biblical and god says to test all things .. similar to how the scientific method also tests things. Scientific journals and the overall community has become super political (I don’t mean dem vs rep but political in the community itself where they suppress the truth etc if it doesn’t align with the current mainstream thing.. instead of being non biased and actually following where the objective truth leads.). The more you know, the more you understand you have to use your own critical thinking skills and actually research stuff before believing … people use stats all the time to skew things so you have to find the actual study and sample size, success rate, who was kicked out/disqualified of the sample along the way and why.. it’s amazing how much nonsense is out there. Many people sell stuff of in vitro results instead of actual testing involving animals or humans. You just need discernment skills
@@DRJoe100 I'm not anti-science. That's not the point. The point is we have a particular *establishment* which is heavily entangled in all things anti-God, and we never talk about things associated with that establishment like we talk about things associated with other anti-God establishments. We don't seem to recognize Humanism as an actual false religion that's demonically driven.
My dad was a Buddhist back in the 80's when I was first born again. I ate an apple he'd put on his altar thinking I'll show him, not understanding then what all these things really are. I GOT SICK! Never did that again. The spiritual world is more solid than ours. We know we're not solid. Just molecules not even solid, really. They can see us, they can enter us. What world is the ghost world?
I was reminded of when my parents took away one of those "magic 8-ball" things that I can't remember how I obtained. Nowadays, I understand that it was wise to for them to have done that. I've heard that Japan produces wooden dolls called Kokeshi which are sold to tourists; are those religious or just a trinket?
Idk.. if you have one pray over it just in case. Looking it up seems to vary on the answer if it’s spiritual or not. Here’s a vague quote that captures it perfectly “The art of Sosaku, (Creative), and modern Kokeshi doll making began in the early 1940s, grew and flourished in the 1950s-60s, and well into the 70s. Kokeshi represent a measure of the spirit-infused status of the wood, and they are believed to retain the material’s original sacred and natural qualities. ‘Kokeshi’ made in other countries, (China, Korea, etc.), are not Kokeshi, and do not represent the spirit from which they were conceived.”
A well-known teacher, speaker, and author, who has even appeared on this program a couple of times, writes in one of his books that going to a chiropractor will cause someone to become cursed, because chiropractic practice had its origins in witchcraft. I go to a chiropractor all the time. Does this mean I am cursed? I would really like to know Remnant Radio's opinion on this, especially since they've had this author on the show.
I was suffering from intense lower back pains for 24 years when a chiropractor fixed my lower back in 2009. Since then, there's no more lower back pain. How is having my lower back fixed amount to being cursed? Is having lower back pains supposed to be the cross I have to bear? I don't think so. Let's get real. Don't believe the nonsense people dish out in the name of God.
I love the Lord and I also go to chiropractor... and it's a Christian establishment. It's just the practice of putting the body back into the symmetry and right order that God designed. I've never heard anyone associate spiritual practices with it (like they do with yoga).
Chiropractic is based on the Palmer method, which was channeled through necromancy -- Palmer receiving instruction from a dead doctor. Research its origin and flee!
This is really good. I do have a question, what do you do with the portions of 1 Cor 8 and 10 where Paul says it's ok to eat meat from the idols in a home?
My sons are now orthodox Christians and they love with me. They have icons all over my place. I told them I don’t like them. They pointed out that I have pictures of my parents on the wall. So I let them put their icons around. Is that wrong?
Thinking through the question you're asking about things being redeemable...and given the passages you pointed out from Paul, I kind of wonder if there's a distinction between an object which is *man-made* , and one which is a natural creation but has been misused. Like...meat is not something people *created* for evil purposes. A naturally-occurring crystal is not something *created* for evil purpose. *Water* is not something *created* for evil purposes. A candle might start out as an ordinary candle and later be dedicated to something. But a candle created *specifically for* worship may be in a different category. A crystal that's cut into a given shape for worship has become a new thing *created* for idolatry. The dreamcatcher was *created for* something. The little idol statue is *created for* something. Having only mused over this over the course of this video, and not studied it more deeply, I'm inclined to think that most likely a thing which was, in its current state, completely acceptable before it was dedicated to evil purposes is likely redeemable (at least in most situations), while things that were created for idolatry or *transformed* into something new for idolatry are not.
Tattoos. A lot of people have tattoos from before they became Christian. Some of them are things like pentagrams, snakes, satanic words or symbols, "protection" runes, etc. What do they do with those? How do we counsel others with these things
Snakes aren’t necessarily evil (they’re really important in nature), nor skulls , etc… but there’s occultic copies , baphomet, pentagram, do what tho will, evil eye/all seeing eye, false gods, etc that a Christian wouldn’t want to keep on their body. Adding Tattoos post being born again in general are up to the individual (there’s valid points on both sides, mostly on the anti side). It has no bearing on if you can be saved but why make life harder before we die by dealing with ones related to occultism. But non occultic tattoos serve as reminders to some (whether good or bad). We don’t live under OT laws like ancient Jews (which is where the anti tattoo stuff is). I’d focus on teaching the gospel and their salvation then teach biblical history and context . If someone is already saved and they’re asking ur opinion, pray for discernment with them
Also Abraham taught me that saying that God’s in specific places and not everywhere is also denying his presence and kingdom upon himself, humanity and the universe, saying God’s breaking the promises he made millions of year ago, you all better start waking up this is coming. I have divine science I was one of the lucky chosen to believe just by following his voice in my heart, Jesus is coming and we are going back to heaven all the full earth that’s what he said.
Is God in unbelievers? 1 Kings 19:11 ESV [11] And he said, "Go out and stand on the mount before the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
I have a gargoyle tattoo on my shoulder from when I was younger I won’t get any more now that im a believer in our Lord but im not going to take a belt sander to get rid of it or chop my arm off. I don’t worship gargoyles never did I’m pretty sure the Lord still loves me because i love him. You can drive yourself crazy worrying about demons behind every stone. Just my 2 cents
My mother had some ivory miniatures she got in Japan at the end of WWII. One of which is definitely a Buddha. She died, but I was left with her belongings that she did not bequeath to anyone. I dont want them in my house but I don't know how to destroy them. Will it burn?
FYI..... As someone who studied languages/ linguistics in college (And a Berean search in scriptures in the original language to see if what is told me is true), I have come to understand and it was mentioned in college- those who are in media and translators let out information or translate according to their own agenda and perspective. Thus in 1 Corinthians 10 where in the Greek it says "everything sold in the marketplace eat nothing questioning for conscience sake." translators wanting to eat whatever they want to eat now insert a comma, after the word "eat". Thus making you feel you can eat everything without questioning. However if they inserted the comma, after nothing, the meaning would be completely. different. you would now be asked to question whether or not this had been sacrificed to a demon which is the whole context of the conversation. The marketplace was right next to the idol Temple who knows what has been sacrificed there, including humans, and to what god. This obviously would be an abomination to eat. However our translators, in a zeal to justify eating whatever they please, Insert a comma after "eat"; now they feel justified to eat whatever they want. I hope you are a Berean & give this time and attention to look through this material in the original Greek and see for yourself how it is laid out in the Greek; see for yourself how translators have done Christianity a disservice. May you study this out and may you make this known in your broadcasts. It is nice to see that other people are questioning this. May you come to know the truth; may you call translations into account for the abomination they have created for Christianity but most importantly for God's Kingdom, in choosing to translate wrongly to soothe their own appetite and agenda.😢. PS if when you read something and it doesn't sync up with common sense of the context of the material then it's time for you to look into the original. This isn't the only place they've changed things to soothe their agenda of non-conformance to the original commandments of God that Jesus said he was coming to fulfill and not abolish and show us how to walk out.
This question may start a whole another episode, I have a Greek Orthodox Resurrection Icon of Jesus since it’s Jesus centered it reminds me of Jesus victorious resurrection. What do yall think about Christian icons?
We tend to lean toward not having any image of God. If you'll notice even in our thumbnails, we don't include an actual face. That said, we'd recommend that you pray to the Holy Spirit and ask for His guidance on whether to keep it.
Great great podcast!! Completely in agreement!! I will say that I don’t believe having a figurine of Mary, the Mother of Jesus is sinful. Mary Loves her Son and worships Him!! Jesus is Lord!! Hallelujah Amen!
With books like the Koran or the Book of Mormon, I have a rule of thumb that I read ten times as much Bible as I do the heresy in question. (Although the BoM is such a wearying slog of invention that I never could get past the first few pages and merely, in the end, took notes from someone else who studied it). I try not to keep physical copies of books like that and trashed the ones I was given. It seemed a natural precaution to hold the filthy thing at arms length for fear of contagion. When my mother dies, her Christian Science literature is going to be a huge bonfire. I just pray that I don't have to take any of it into my own home when I care for her...
What about Joseph having a personal divination cup? Even if he didn’t practice divination wouldn’t possessing it or tricking people with it have demonic repercussions or affect his ability to hear clearly from God? Also there’s the burning of incense with sacrifices, crystal stones in ephods. Anointing oil, laying on of hands, blessed objects, trances, fasting, casting of lots, ect. Are used in many religions and spiritual practices both before and after Judaism/Christianity…To say one practice is Christian and the other is pagan should be boiled down to the heart behind it. Sadly even the Bible can be used for the purpose of witchcraft if the person wielding it is trying to manipulate and control self seeking outcomes.
How about Hezekiah destroying the bronze serpent in 2 Kings? Something that was created to be good, being defiled and used for idolatry. II Kings 18:4 NKJV “He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.”
Really good stuff. Definitely not going to bring in suspect items into my life or knowingly participate in weird stuff…but are we in danger of going charismatic satanic panic crazy? Yes. I think my bent is probably closer to what Michael is saying. That being said, I think the matter of how convenience and conscience interplay and informs is funny too (ie, the house with a good price that we REALLY need to move into can be redeemed but grandmas chair can’t be, so burn it). Definitely need to have some broad (and sometimes specific) boundaries, but this whole thing can go sideways pretty quickly.
Are you worshipping Angels then stop that only worship Jesus. Now if it is an object of evil like a satanic figurine then yes get rid of it but only you can decide how far you should take this.
@@marydbaker The bible would describe you as one with weak faith, but not having a Christmas tree is fine, so is having one. As long as you do not worship trees. Jeremiah is not talking of christmas trees at all.
A Baptist pastor who had just started at a fairly large church in the Baton Rouge area amd one of the first things he put up in his office was a Buddha. That was 1990 and they had 2000 members. The church merged with another congregation and died in 2019. I don’t know if there's a connection, and maybe the Buddha was a symbol of the decay that led to the church's death. It was always creepy being in that guys office with that thing.
I am going to disagree on the mother Mary part though. I think you can buy it from the wrong place and if it part of the Santería. I think, personally, that is what evangelicals get mixed up with Catholics and saints. Catholics don’t worship Mary or saints. But if you practice Santería you do. And Guadalupe she is not Mary. She is something else.
And there are a number of different styles of martial arts; karate, jujitsu, taekwondo, mixed martial arts (MMA). The Marine Corps has a Martial Arts Program that all members are required to take. According to Wiki "the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) is a combat system developed... to combine existing and new hand-to-hand and close quarters combat techniques..." I believe most Special Forces (ie Seals, Rangers, Green Berets, Combat Controllers, Pararescue) are taught hand to hand combat skills probably derived from MMA and jujitsu.
For me, halal food is a nono since I live in London. My question though is, what about Orthodox shrines people make in their homes? I can't help but think to put an axe to those icons and such but I'm not sure since it's in a 'christia' context.
@ChristianPhilosemite I am a recent convert to Catholicism from Pentecostal-Charismatic evangelicalism. Learning the theology of iconography and sacred art helped me understand and appreciate their significance and honor more, as well as to love our Lord and His saints more deeply. Exorcists often note that in cases of severe demonization, an aversion to blessed, sacred objects is often a telling sign that a demonic presence is there. Where I would dispose of sacred Christian art is when it has been compromised and tainted by religious syncretism, like in Santería, Candomblé, etc.
I have items from Egypt that I acquired back in the 90s before becoming a Christian. I got rid of all the papyrus but still have a couple of little sphinx figurines. I've traveled the world, what about paintings, what about all the Mayan textiles??
I’ll be at the conference in October and didn’t realize until now that I’m qualified to lead a breakout session for I am one who pisseth against the wall.
My friends i have talked about objects that were brought home from foreign countries. Some the Holy Spirit guides us by conviction to trash or burn. I have sweet friends that wont drink in front of me because of my past: abusive alcoholic parents. I have never asked them not to. Eating food that offends my Indian friend (no beef). In front of her i would probably choose chicken or fish, to show her love. Knowing scripture inside and out and having conversations with others can lead them into truth. You dont have to know their beliefs. But i still think for some, God has led you to learn about it. Others not so. I hunger for His Word, but I want to know how to show them respect so i looked up Hindu on the internet and did dome studying, because i love her and care about her and her soul. Convictions is an old term nowadays. People have different convictions. Allow others to follow their convictions about food at a wedding. Now that i know about it being dedicated, i personally will say no thank you at the wedding. But I can pray over it andGod can redeem it for His good. We are His ambassadors and we are to take back the land that God gave us in Eden. Take back the land of our Creator.
I’ve never seen a verse in the Bible that says respect false religions or follow their rituals/rules when in front of a pagan so you don’t hurt their feelings. Do you have a biblical example? To me it would be rude to make their food with ingredients they abstain from but you can eat whatever like Jesus says… and the NT mentions not to stop eating meat because someone asks/demands you to or says it’s bad because god has allows you to eat meat. Only abstain if you want to but not because of someone else … like a vegan or if someone says it’s bad for the climate and to eat ze bugs etc 😂.
Question: Is it wrong to take a family trip to Disney World since so much of the parks / brand is based on magic (i.e. the magic kingdom)? What about Harry Potter? I’d like to hear from parents as this was so much of my childhood and even my daughter’s now. As a Christian, I certainly don’t want to unknowingly dishonor God.
So we purchased a dude perfect board game and the goal is to collect a specific amount of "golden boys" to win. The golden boys look a lot like little Grammy award idols. Is that a form of unhealthy syncretism? Do I need to remove the idols and replace them with something else? Do I need to throw out the whole game and burn or bury it?
I think in this case its an innocence and vulnerability issue with your son. Perhaps the demons latched onto an innocent practice that was already there
There are millions of children and adults watching and playing pokemon. They don't all see dark shadows. Either the dark shadows come from somewhere else or your son worships these pokemon or something. But pokemon in itself is not evil or possessed.
Random question but does anyone know what happened to Jeff Gray? I was just curious I love the current setup but I've been watching some older videos and just wondered what the Lord is doing in his life nowadays
Question: Simple Jade Bracelet with no pattern engraved. Okay or not okay? I purchased this bracelet because I loved the beautiful stone it was made of. I had heard that in Asian culture they wear them for good luck but that was not why I purchased it. Is this an object that is redeemable? I only ask because it has lovely memories for me so I’d like to keep it. But I have no desire to invite evil into my life. Thoughts?
If it wasn’t used for a pagan religious ceremony (in which case throw it out), then we’d recommend that you pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you on whether you should keep it or not.
People are redeemed, not objects. God made jade, so unless you know for a fact that the bracelet is dedicated to some demon, don't worry about it. The Earth is YHWH's and everything in it.
How about names. It’s vry common in Latin America to be named after a certain Virgin Mary for example Maria de Guadalupe or Maria de Los Angeles (in Costa Rica the name of “La negrita”) how about that?

Seems unreasonable that an idolatrous object hidden in a believers house unbeknownst to them has the power to oppress them. Doesn’t make sense. Does that mean that an adversary can hide idols in your front yard bush to spite you? What if they’re mini idols the size of a grain of salt sprinkled all over the yard with a drone? See the point? 1 Cor 8:4-7 suggests that a person’s attitude towards the idol is what is the driving factor.
Seems unreasonable until it happens to you and your whole household is getting attacked by demonic entities. We got severely attacked until we fasted, prayed and cried out to God what in the world was going on and he showed us things in and around our home. When I got rid of them, demons would visit me that night.
What is the main message of Habakkuk? Trust the Lord, no matter what. That is Habakkuk's message for God's people around the world today. Believers can, and must, trust in God no matter how tumultuous outward circumstances may become. Habakkuk is unique in that the prophet is not speaking to God's people but rather to God himself. I myself had talked to God myself and it almost killed me but Jesus keeps me alive and take me every night to be judged by my Father and tell em what’s going on and they are pretty aware who is the real dragon Ezequiel preached about we’re not even half way Jesus comes through worship nobody is worshipping people are trying to feel safe on their own, we are following his word either we like it or not. God rules everywhere, everything and everything starts with him and will finish with him for those who really knew him, not those who pretended to.
Thanks for sharing the video. It's very deep, and so many people do not realize what they're talking about. All I can say is pray for the younger generation.
Yeah, curious about where Christian iconography and statuary falls in this discussion. I know there are syncretistic cults like Santeria that use Christian artwork in their rituals, but strictly speaking, from a Catholic or Orthodox perspective, Christian icons and statuary are consecrated to God and for holy use.
@@brandongreen4303 once again. You can interpret that however you want. I see it differently. It seems pagan to many, no matter what they called it at that time. Christmas at saturnalia seems pagan. Mistletoe ? Yule log ?
Yes. You can have a Koran for the purpose of witness prep. You can't answer intelligently if you don't understand the argument. Why should we fear anything the devil throws out. We take authority in Jesus' name.
For me, if it's not an obvious item like the ones mentioned, I'll ask the Holy Spirit. Usually if it is, when I look at it, my stomach will knot up. I'm not sure how other people discern, but that's my experience. For my kids, I teach them red, yellow, and green light. A green light they will feel peace, a red and yellow light they will feel yucky. Anything other than a green light is a no. This helps them practice discernment. I hope this makes sense!
This episode seems inconsistent to me. On one hand you’re saying don’t take it too far; and then don’t take a chance on anything; the next is use your discernment. It really seems that for many examples y’all just don’t know. It seems very subjective. I personally wouldn’t have a Budda or something in my house, why? I’m not sure why, whether it’s discernment or superstition I can’t tell. I would be more convinced if you could offer more New Testament examples about objects being cursed. But it seems more about people and practices that are evil. A lot of your view point seems to be based on anecdotal experiences, which aren’t as verifiable nor biblically confirmable as I would like. I can just envision a whole lot of 1990’s burning of cds, movies, books (some of which would be good to do), but you haven’t drawn a clear enough line for most people. Imo
For some things, like objects used in worship to a false god or demonic activity, the answer is easy - get rid of it. For other items (which can be used for good or bad purposes), the answer could be yes or no. We’re saying you need to ask the Holy Spirit.
Instead of communicating with Justin cordially and in the background, you're supposed to make a response video, and then he makes a response to your response, and then you guys continue the trend to boost each others' total watch times.
I have a comment that maybe you all can answer. I worship YHWH. That is the name of the "Old Testament" GOD. I also worship HIS Son, Jesus(who is also Yehoshua). I also worship the Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit(two forms of the same being as well). I worship the 3 in ONE, but you all say to worship Jesus only. According to the Bible, it says to pray in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whom I intuit as YHWH, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Is this blasphemy against Jesus? Or is it doing well according to the Word of God?
The Bible does not depict inanimate objects being possessed by evil. Isaiah 44.9-20 ridicules idols but says nothing about them being imbued by evil. Jeremiah 10 speaks against the use of idols but says nothing about them being imbued by evil. Ezekiel 8 is one of the best ones. Ezekiel has a vision, given to him by the Holy Spirit, which involves him "flying" into the Jerusalem temple where he sees idolatry being practiced and lots of idols... but no evil spirit is seen possessing these idols. If inanimate objects could be possessed by evil, the Holy Spirit would've shown this to Ezekiel.
Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance on Exodus 20:4-6. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Halal (permissable) vs haram(forbidden), it's just dietary laws for Muslims similar to kosher (but not identical). If you think halal is idolatrous, never plan on going to the middle east, even as a missionary. You will starve.
It's not idolatry unless you personally believe it is. This is why food sacrificed to idols is brought up in the NT. Romans and 1 Corinthians are good books for this.
There are deliverance ministers (often husband & wife) who travel the world looking for demons under every rock, photo, amulet, ring, lamp, painting, toy, vehicle, tree, bench, desk, tomb stone, grave, altar, ect., and they find what they are looking for and far more. They and their family become possessed and need to constantly have the demons cast out of them. Thank God that I was DELIVERED FROM DELIVERANCE.
@@damaygo1742 Yes. I left the hyper deliverance move of the 80's because I had lost my zeal for soul winner. I still believe in deliverance, but I don't go looking for demons to cast out.
@@damaygo1742it’s kind of like becoming a heresy hunter. You can get so wrapped up in not being wrong that the process itself becomes sinful. I think this is what OP is referring to.
As American Christians, we most often err on the other side. Not enough attention to what demons practice against us using what message, medium, or object.
@@marydbaker totally agree. People in the west tend to default to an anti spiritual worldview (even Christians). So that danger should be considered on this topic. But again it can consume people in an unhealthy way, so it requires awareness.
Min53.00 dedicating objects. I had a friend who was a butcher at the local supermarket. There was a warlock who came in periodically to buy bones for his rituals. The butcher was born again and didn't want to sell bones to this warlock any more but had to because of his job. SO he would take the bones back into the freezer and pray over them and then sell them to the warlock. The warlock began to complain that the bones were not working anymore in his rituals. Jesus is king!
Interesting!
😂 that’s awesome
Moved into a rental home in Oklahoma in the early '80's. - I was a Baptist at the time. I had read previously, to pray and dedicate the house to the Lord. While I was waiting for the moving truck, I did this, unbeknownst to anyone else. Lovely home, lovely landlords. Every time I went to pay rent they would ask "is everything okay" but kind of in a weird way. After about five years they told us there were ghosts in the house. We had never encountered them. I asked around and found out most of the neighborhood had them. (it was supposedly an old Indian burial ground) It freaked me out and I wanted to move but thought, we never had problems and we had cheap rent for a lovely home so I was convinced what I had done had been honored by the Lord.
Just did this in our new home before we spent a single night here. I’m not aware of anything for sure but we sleep well amd know the Lord honors our desire to make this His home for us.
I’m a military brat. We moved every 2/3 years of my childhood. My Dad would always insist to pray a blessing and spend the night in a new home before the fam joined him. The practice was cute, chivalrous and harmless so no one really objected. When we moved into base housing at Wright Patterson in 1979 things got jumbled and became a mess with our household stuff being shipped and we ended up taking possession of the house early. My Mom, siblings and I were in the house when my Dad started ‘house cleaning’. We heard a clanging sound followed by the window breaking from the inside out. It wasn’t a limb falling or a bird flying into it. It came from inside the room we were in. My dad commanded us to pray for the Holy Spirt protection while he rebuked it in Jesus name. It was the first and only time I’ve had a supernatural experience and it was also the day I asked for salvation. That’s my salvation story.
Nope, never had a problem in the house afterwards.
Possibly demons. Dead people don't visit us
About 15 years ago I was reading Derek Prince and I stopped and asked the Lord to reveal anything in our home that was demonic, occultic etc.. About 20 minutes later I remembered a box in the attic that had memorabilia from my high school and college years. I hadn’t touched that box in decades except twice when we moved so I was certain it was the Lord directing me to it in response to my prayer.
When I opened the box there were two things I had bought in Greenwich Village, in New York City in the summer of 1968. Back then it was all hippies, pagan spirituality and drugs. One was a container of incense. The other was an amulet with an astrological sign corresponding to my birthdate that I had worn around my neck throughout that summer.
I immediately renounced the spirits and practices associated with them, confessed my sin and threw them away.
Forty years later God wanted them gone.
This is so cool. I had a very similar experience! I was listening to a Derek Prince sermon where he was describing getting rid of an old tapestry he had been given. I asked the Lord to show me any objects that I had that needed to go. I was immediately shown a dagger that was shaped like dragon claws at both ends with orbs in the claws. I had bought it at a garage sale when I was collecting knives at 14. I was 30 when God reminded me it was In a tote in a closet and needed to go! God is awesome in the truest sense.
Greater is He that's in us, that he that's in the world.
We had a house built for us in the early 2000’s and wrote scripture verses on many of the 2 by 4’s before they were covered up. Always felt love and comfort in that house.
In 1966 I visited Hawaii with a friend and bought two ceramic tiki gods about 10 in tall. They were on my book shelf above my bead. In 1971 I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and also went thru a deliverance session. When I returned home the eyes of those tiki gods were glowing red and looking very angry. I immediately put them in a bag and took them to the garage and threw them down on the concrete floor and smashed them to pieces. I have never bought 'innocent' trinkets when travel ing since then.
This is a very good example. In fact, a lot of Western tourists, even Christian, unknowingly buy stuff in India that actually has a lot of Hindu pagan symbolism, but subtle. It's important to run it by an Indian Christian so you don't take back demonic stuff with you.
Even if they look cool I just think of the verse that mentions behind every false idol is a demon.
As a child, I had a pink satin unicorn hanging above my bed. I was having lots of nightmares. My Christian sister-in-law stayed over and slept in my bed. She took down the unicorn stating that she would never sleep with it above her. I didn't put it back above my bed and the nightmares stopped.
😊😊pppp
What's wrong with a unicorn? What scripture are you talking about which says Unicorns are a bad animal?
@@loucjenk All that I can tell you is what happened. I didn't think that there was anything wrong with them, but if there is it's because they may have been animals created outside of God's creation by the fallen angels or the nephilim.
@@terridolecki8185they were used in Christian symbolism in medieval times, sometimes as a symbol of Christ because they could only by captured by women of pure heart who were virgins.
@@littleboots9800interesting… but then again the Vatican has tons of occultism symbolism and try selling it as good/holy so who knows with the unicorn. It could’ve just been the item itself was accursed/worshipped by someone etc ..
As a missionary, I often work in other countries and we always tell the teams to be very careful about what they buy and also about what they allow native people to give them. In a lot of countries, there is a mix of some sort of local witchcraft and Catholicism that causes many people to say, “I am a Christian“ while they are still practicing, pagan rituals that they just see as part of their ethnic culture. When I was working in Israel, they took us to a store that they told us was “Christian”. Thankfully, the woman I was with warned me to look at all the things in the store carefully because there were things that had the evil eye, the hamsa, And other symbols to do with Kabala. I ended up not buying anything in that store at all because since they had such a mix of things I did not want to buy anything. Sometimes it has been a little awkward when someone has given us something to then turn around and ask an interpreter or a local pastor questions to make sure that we don’t take things home with us that we shouldn’t. Yet, it’s so important that we honor God in all things that even if it was a gift, even if, it’s something that would remind us of someone we got to minister to, or even if it’s just that it comes from a country where we have worked, we must not take those things home if there is any doubt in our mind at all. God has been very faithful over the years to protect me and to give me wisdom even when I didn’t understand exactly , what someone was trying to give me. Just thought I would share that perspective because we have run into many people over the years who did shorter mission work in another nation and brought things home like African mask, and things like that, and had no idea what they were inviting into their house. Thanks so much for all you do! God bless you guys abundantly and multiply all your efforts in building the kingdom for Jesus Christ!
Thanks for sharing!
I love what Joshua said at the end this topic may lead folks into fear. No brothers and sisters let us grow and remain confident in Gods power and his love for his church. Pray and ask God what items need to go in your life remain in the peace of the Lord friends
Paused the video at 56:00 to speak towards the 'Burn house to the ground' question.
I unknowingly bought a home about 10 years ago and only until somewhat recently did I realize it had a demon or two (truly ignorance on my part).
All I know, is that it was a party home and I bought it with the intention of fixing it up as it was very rough and foreclosed.
Over the years, I'd have dreams about demons sucking me into the shower or closet and weirdly that's where stuff would fall over constantly and wake me up at night.
I once woke up to a demon trying to attack me but...at the same time felt like I had a literal force field around me. During that situation I was pushed a few inches down into my mattress and then it was gone.
I'd have very real demonic encounters where I could feel things sitting on my bed and moving the bed (about the weight of a dog jumping off a bed).
I have video of my security camera moving on it's own (couldn't re-create that for the life of me)
Around the time I started to think I was suffering from pretty bad depression...and not doing so hot I had prayed for help/understanding and thats when I found this channel.
Some of the first episodes were on deliverance where Ken Fish was being interviewed and I watched a few other videos here and realized...I think my home has a demon.
I prayed over it, prayed for confirmation and shortly after I had a dream in which I essentially tricked 3 demons out of my home and they were so fiercely trying to get back in it felt like the walls were going to come down. A bit of an odd dream I'll admit, but ever since then nothing has fallen over once and the dark oppressive atmosphere is utterly and completely gone.
All that to say, and I realize I can't go into crazy detail, from my extremely limited experience it would seem that you can pray over a home and rid it of demons.
Also great episode as I've tried to wrestle with how to approach a lot of these questions and yes I realize I sound crazy...
For as much spiritual attack stuff as I've gotten over the years I've also seen God heal and do some pretty cool stuff as well, to end on a positive note.
Burning the house was Old Testament, we have Jesus to overcome things buuuut if the house was built as an occultic church then idk 🤷♀️ better to be safe than sorry I guess 😂. Yea you can get rid of them/demonic spirits through Jesus… but you can also be inviting them in with certain sins, like being under the influence of pharmacia , etc .. whether in ur house or following u around. When you have those nightmares you can call on Jesus through prayer in your dreams and it will fix it (sometimes it takes practice to remember in ur dreams but it definitely works.
Love this discussion bc many Christians may entirely reject this topic altogether bc it comes after so many of the things we "like." Harry Potter is surprisingly an area of much contention with Christians. Literally, a fantasy about witchcraft, sorcery, nercromancy, possession, cursed objects, etc seems okay bc it's wonderfully produced. Hard to celebrate or endorse when Galatians 5:19-21 says anyone living this way will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. Very strange. People may have different convictions, but one of the enemy's most effective tools is convincing people, especially God's people, that "it's not that big of a deal." Very similar to the Garden of Eden. The enemy said, "It's just an apple, you won't surely die."
Christmas trees and Easter bunnies....How many Christians have and still do believe God is OK with this?
@@kayjay8265 I would be okay with getting rid of both of these, honestly. However, I'd suggest that it is easier to conclude on the surface that a Christmas tree with lights and a cute Easter bunny with eggs are okay. Even though the deeper study suggests that the two have pagan roots, they are certainly less detectable and perhaps plausibly deniable than a literal school of witchcraft & wizardry sponsored by self-professing witches and warlocks.
@@ddjjj33 Reading something that has witchcraft is one thing. Reading something that makes you want to practice witchcraft is another.
@JesusistheonetrueGod When I lived I the UK and kids were lining the block waiting for the next Potter book I resolved to never let my kids read it after being told by a Christian lady who used to be a watch tell us that the issue she has is the spells are real spells and many names used are not fantasy but real demons etc. Tried to let other Christian parents know years later with no one bothered to even check it out
I was taught how to use a pendulum like muscle testing. I've had that hanging in my house for over a year now, and I finally got rid of it today.
I have so many testimonies of the Holy Spirit leading me/ my family of getting rid of objects. Disney, gifts given that came from other countries, also furniture, jewelry,clothes etc from my family where the false religion of Christian Science was practiced for 4 generations. His Holy Spirit will always lead and guide us not in fear but in love to close off any way the enemy can use to attack us.
We have three similar stories as the dreamcatcher story. It might seem crazy until it happens to you or your family!
The first time it happened, my daughter started having night terrors. My husband had a dream about the origin of the demon behind the attacks. He described it to me so we could search for whatever the cursed object was in our home. It was a Moana toothbrush from the dentist she received earlier that week. Once we properly disposed of it- no more night terrors. It happened some time later, again, with a kid bracelet from a homemade jewelry store. It had little bears on it. Night terrors, husband had a dream, easily found the source. Third time was a book gifted to us. I didn't feel right about it, but kept it anyway. Night terrors for a few nights, Holy Spirit reninded me of the book, disposed of it, and no longer have had issues. We are extremely careful as to what comes in our home after those experiences! We refuse to let the demonic have access to our children!
Thank you for speaking on this, as you don't hear these teachings often enough in the church.
Wow, that's crazy! Thanks for sharing. Just curious, have you ever had any notable issues with clothing brands? Lately it occurred to me that we have some Nike brand clothes (who doesn't, right?) and I realized that the company Nike is named after the Greek Goddess, Nike. Not sure if I should get rid of the clothing just to be safe. Thoughts?

I researched the little golden idol in the Lego Indiana Jones set and it is indeed an actual replica of a ( South American? I dont remember) idol. We passed it through the fire and got rid of it.
Such a great episode! So many people think that the old testament is "old hat" and not necessary for today, but our God is a jealous God!! Yahweh don't share worship space with anyone! He is supreme, and this separation is carried from the OT to the NT. Come out and be separate, touch not the unclean thing. 😊
Loved this episode, guys. Great job 👏
When i was a kid, we were often visited by an east indian missionary who once said that, though he dealt with demons habitually in new delhi, when he was driving the 3 hours from the airport to our house, he sensed a blanket of demonic darkness over our region ( an indian reservation) in a magnitude unlike anything he experienced in all of India.

My college roommate accepted a Book of Mormon from two missionaries so he would be able to engage better with them the next time they came. I immediately felt spiritual attacks when he came in the house and was led to tear random pages from the book. I didn’t pee on it, but I might have written the word “lies” here and there. The attack stopped and we kept it.
Did you try just praying over it? NT we can cast stuff out in Jesus’ name
I have so much respect for my Sunday school teacher who is so incredibly well-versed in the Word. But he does occasionally say things like, this probably wasn't really Samuel; we have no idea whether this was Samuel. And I'm looking at the screen with the scripture in literal black and white and saying, it says right there it was Samuel! I take my Bible like I take my God: seriously. And I expect others to do the same.
I imagine you're speaking of the witch of endor. People debate whether or not that was really Samuel because the bible never authorizes witches and warlocks to summon the spirit of God's people anywhere. Imagine that you're with God, and someone is able to snatch you from His presence. But God says this:
Psalm 31:5 ESV
[5] Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
John 10:27-29 ESV
[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. [28] I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. [29] My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
Your teacher is not wrong with his suggestion. What appeared to be Samuel may have been a deceiving spirit.
@@JesusistheonetrueGod God never says that Samuel was snatched by the witch. Yes, Samuel appears to be retrieved because Saul wanted him, but we never get told whether a messenger from God or someone else retrieves Samuel. The witch was shocked to see him.
What God does say is that Samuel came up out of the earth and spoke. And since God said it, I believe it.
"And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. Then Samuel said to Saul, 'Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?'”
@@EllenSmyth When you say that God says it was Samuel, what do you mean?
@@EllenSmyth It also says in the same passage that she saw a god coming out of the Earth. Do you apply the same logic of "since God said it, I believe it?"
1 Samuel 28:13 ESV
[13] The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up out of the earth."
@@JesusistheonetrueGod I mean that I believe that the Word of God is inerrant and infallible and actually God speaking. So when 1 Sam 28:14-15 says, "And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. Then Samuel said to Saul," God said that. God is saying that Saul *knew* it was Samuel.

I was given some crystals for my birthday from a coworker over a year ago and I wouldn’t say I have noticed anything strange and thought of them as only pretty rocks that are a part of God’s creation . I never thought of them as having any “power” and they help to remind me to pray for my coworker’s salvation. While she does believe a lot of new age things she has been asking me more about Jesus and God and has talked about baptism.
It's only wrong if you're using the crystals like the new age people do. God created them and there isn't anything wrong with having pretty crystals. It's all about your intentions with whatever the object is. Another example would be a rosary or something like that. Wearing a rosary isn't bad, but if you do like some Catholics and make it more than a necklace. Then you've crossed a line
Take the good, leave the bad. Trust in our freedom in Christ and use discernment.
Titus 1:15 ESV
[15] To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.

I'm looking forward to next week guys! I just became the teaching pastor at a church who bought a building that was formerly an LDS church. It's a cool story where folks had been delivered from the deception and just left the church until it completely closed. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this kind of stuff.
Don't you mean pastor? All pastors are teachers.
I went to a funeral in a masonic cemetery several years ago, reluctantly. But I went. The ceremony was not masonic at all, but I was slammed physically shortly thereafter.
Agreed! My uncle and aunt had an entire room for their Buddhist statues and prayed to them and my bedroom was right next to that room and I always was scared at night when I was a kid. Also, had nightmares when I slept in my friend’s daughter’s vacant room that had a dream 🛌 catcher on the lamp…
Prophets we are all here, we have a bigger mission from what you think or believe and we all know it collectively that’s your sign.
When I lived in Germany around 18/19 I bought 2 “cute” figurines. One was an Angel and the other was a devil. I would put them together or facing each other when I went out to work. Whenever I came back they would be facing opposite directions. I thought it was a fun conversation piece until a friend saw it happened and told me to throw away those demon possessed figurines
It would be funny if it was just magnetic. If you still have the, pray over them and expel anything in Jesus name and ask for discernment. Destroy it if you’re unsure and there’s no strong sentimental value
It is so interesting about our bodies being used as weapons of warfare.
Wow this is good stuff...had my share of crazy stuff i had to get rid of...a ornate mirror that was part of my grandmas shrine in her home..she had placed a Buddha in front of mirror...even souvenirs from foreign countries can be cursed..i heard a long time ago that curses are placed on objects before they are bought...and i dont want to forget my boys when they were teenagers the nuddie mags under the mattress...needless to say the enemy kept me busy..lol

I felt a death spirit in a public parcel in Basel. I asked the Lord, became the answer it used to be a Jewish graviard and to objective my impression I did research and saw that it used to be a graviard.
I'd like to hear more discussion about what this looks like with regard to modern Western religion. Our gods are not little Buddha or Krishna statues in our culture. Our gods are things like man and Science. Our entire American medical establishment is built on the foundation of godless things like Humanism, Scientism, and baby murder. Our government school system is entangled with Humanism, Scientism, and sexual perversion. And yet few people bat an eyelash -- and certainly no one wants to talk about -- what it means to participate in these things vs. properly separating religion from "neutral" things false religion has abused, vs. utterly destroying them.
Anything can be a false idol if you worship it, and it’s good to recognize when others worship it, however, actual science is biblical and god says to test all things .. similar to how the scientific method also tests things. Scientific journals and the overall community has become super political (I don’t mean dem vs rep but political in the community itself where they suppress the truth etc if it doesn’t align with the current mainstream thing.. instead of being non biased and actually following where the objective truth leads.). The more you know, the more you understand you have to use your own critical thinking skills and actually research stuff before believing … people use stats all the time to skew things so you have to find the actual study and sample size, success rate, who was kicked out/disqualified of the sample along the way and why.. it’s amazing how much nonsense is out there. Many people sell stuff of in vitro results instead of actual testing involving animals or humans. You just need discernment skills
@@DRJoe100 I'm not anti-science. That's not the point. The point is we have a particular *establishment* which is heavily entangled in all things anti-God, and we never talk about things associated with that establishment like we talk about things associated with other anti-God establishments. We don't seem to recognize Humanism as an actual false religion that's demonically driven.

My dad was a Buddhist back in the 80's when I was first born again. I ate an apple he'd put on his altar thinking I'll show him, not understanding then what all these things really are. I GOT SICK! Never did that again. The spiritual world is more solid than ours. We know we're not solid. Just molecules not even solid, really. They can see us, they can enter us. What world is the ghost world?
I was reminded of when my parents took away one of those "magic 8-ball" things that I can't remember how I obtained. Nowadays, I understand that it was wise to for them to have done that.
I've heard that Japan produces wooden dolls called Kokeshi which are sold to tourists; are those religious or just a trinket?
Idk.. if you have one pray over it just in case. Looking it up seems to vary on the answer if it’s spiritual or not.
Here’s a vague quote that captures it perfectly
“The art of Sosaku, (Creative), and modern Kokeshi doll making began in the early 1940s, grew and flourished in the 1950s-60s, and well into the 70s. Kokeshi represent a measure of the spirit-infused status of the wood, and they are believed to retain the material’s original sacred and natural qualities. ‘Kokeshi’ made in other countries, (China, Korea, etc.), are not Kokeshi, and do not represent the spirit from which they were conceived.”
Paul never converted to Gentile Christianity ; he kept the Shabbat, observe the feasts and kept Kosher. Thank you for the well balance teaching❗️.
A well-known teacher, speaker, and author, who has even appeared on this program a couple of times, writes in one of his books that going to a chiropractor will cause someone to become cursed, because chiropractic practice had its origins in witchcraft. I go to a chiropractor all the time. Does this mean I am cursed? I would really like to know Remnant Radio's opinion on this, especially since they've had this author on the show.
I think they touched on that in a recent show. I too have gone to a chiropractor in the past for my back problems.
I was suffering from intense lower back pains for 24 years when a chiropractor fixed my lower back in 2009. Since then, there's no more lower back pain. How is having my lower back fixed amount to being cursed? Is having lower back pains supposed to be the cross I have to bear? I don't think so. Let's get real. Don't believe the nonsense people dish out in the name of God.
@@papabear66 nonsense aside, do you believe in God?
I love the Lord and I also go to chiropractor... and it's a Christian establishment. It's just the practice of putting the body back into the symmetry and right order that God designed. I've never heard anyone associate spiritual practices with it (like they do with yoga).
Chiropractic is based on the Palmer method, which was channeled through necromancy -- Palmer receiving instruction from a dead doctor. Research its origin and flee!
This is really good. I do have a question, what do you do with the portions of 1 Cor 8 and 10 where Paul says it's ok to eat meat from the idols in a home?
My sons are now orthodox Christians and they love with me. They have icons all over my place. I told them I don’t like them. They pointed out that I have pictures of my parents on the wall. So I let them put their icons around. Is that wrong?
Thinking through the question you're asking about things being redeemable...and given the passages you pointed out from Paul, I kind of wonder if there's a distinction between an object which is *man-made* , and one which is a natural creation but has been misused. Like...meat is not something people *created* for evil purposes. A naturally-occurring crystal is not something *created* for evil purpose. *Water* is not something *created* for evil purposes. A candle might start out as an ordinary candle and later be dedicated to something.
But a candle created *specifically for* worship may be in a different category. A crystal that's cut into a given shape for worship has become a new thing *created* for idolatry. The dreamcatcher was *created for* something. The little idol statue is *created for* something.
Having only mused over this over the course of this video, and not studied it more deeply, I'm inclined to think that most likely a thing which was, in its current state, completely acceptable before it was dedicated to evil purposes is likely redeemable (at least in most situations), while things that were created for idolatry or *transformed* into something new for idolatry are not.
Tattoos. A lot of people have tattoos from before they became Christian. Some of them are things like pentagrams, snakes, satanic words or symbols, "protection" runes, etc. What do they do with those? How do we counsel others with these things
After praying over it, Remove them or cover them up if it’s occultic … how is that not common sense?
Snakes aren’t necessarily evil (they’re really important in nature), nor skulls , etc… but there’s occultic copies , baphomet, pentagram, do what tho will, evil eye/all seeing eye, false gods, etc that a Christian wouldn’t want to keep on their body. Adding Tattoos post being born again in general are up to the individual (there’s valid points on both sides, mostly on the anti side). It has no bearing on if you can be saved but why make life harder before we die by dealing with ones related to occultism. But non occultic tattoos serve as reminders to some (whether good or bad). We don’t live under OT laws like ancient Jews (which is where the anti tattoo stuff is). I’d focus on teaching the gospel and their salvation then teach biblical history and context . If someone is already saved and they’re asking ur opinion, pray for discernment with them

Also Abraham taught me that saying that God’s in specific places and not everywhere is also denying his presence and kingdom upon himself, humanity and the universe, saying God’s breaking the promises he made millions of year ago, you all better start waking up this is coming.

Is God in unbelievers?
1 Kings 19:11 ESV
[11] And he said, "Go out and stand on the mount before the LORD." And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
I have a gargoyle tattoo on my shoulder from when I was younger I won’t get any more now that im a believer in our Lord but im not going to take a belt sander to get rid of it or chop my arm off. I don’t worship gargoyles never did I’m pretty sure the Lord still loves me because i love him. You can drive yourself crazy worrying about demons behind every stone. Just my 2 cents
My mother had some ivory miniatures she got in Japan at the end of WWII. One of which is definitely a Buddha. She died, but I was left with her belongings that she did not bequeath to anyone. I dont want them in my house but I don't know how to destroy them. Will it burn?
FYI..... As someone who studied languages/ linguistics in college (And a Berean search in scriptures in the original language to see if what is told me is true), I have come to understand and it was mentioned in college- those who are in media and translators let out information or translate according to their own agenda and perspective. Thus in 1 Corinthians 10 where in the Greek it says "everything sold in the marketplace eat nothing questioning for conscience sake." translators wanting to eat whatever they want to eat now insert a comma, after the word "eat". Thus making you feel you can eat everything without questioning. However if they inserted the comma, after nothing, the meaning would be completely. different. you would now be asked to question whether or not this had been sacrificed to a demon which is the whole context of the conversation. The marketplace was right next to the idol Temple who knows what has been sacrificed there, including humans, and to what god. This obviously would be an abomination to eat. However our translators, in a zeal to justify eating whatever they please, Insert a comma after "eat"; now they feel justified to eat whatever they want. I hope you are a Berean & give this time and attention to look through this material in the original Greek and see for yourself how it is laid out in the Greek; see for yourself how translators have done Christianity a disservice. May you study this out and may you make this known in your broadcasts. It is nice to see that other people are questioning this. May you come to know the truth; may you call translations into account for the abomination they have created for Christianity but most importantly for God's Kingdom, in choosing to translate wrongly to soothe their own appetite and agenda.😢.
PS if when you read something and it doesn't sync up with common sense of the context of the material then it's time for you to look into the original. This isn't the only place they've changed things to soothe their agenda of non-conformance to the original commandments of God that Jesus said he was coming to fulfill and not abolish and show us how to walk out.
This question may start a whole another episode, I have a Greek Orthodox Resurrection Icon of Jesus since it’s Jesus centered it reminds me of Jesus victorious resurrection. What do yall think about Christian icons?
We tend to lean toward not having any image of God. If you'll notice even in our thumbnails, we don't include an actual face. That said, we'd recommend that you pray to the Holy Spirit and ask for His guidance on whether to keep it.
@@TheRemnantRadio …casually looks for a Remnant Radio episode on your thoughts of Michael Koulianos’ Jesus Image ministry… 👀 is there one?
Great great podcast!! Completely in agreement!! I will say that I don’t believe having a figurine of Mary, the Mother of Jesus is sinful. Mary Loves her Son and worships Him!! Jesus is Lord!! Hallelujah Amen!
With books like the Koran or the Book of Mormon, I have a rule of thumb that I read ten times as much Bible as I do the heresy in question. (Although the BoM is such a wearying slog of invention that I never could get past the first few pages and merely, in the end, took notes from someone else who studied it). I try not to keep physical copies of books like that and trashed the ones I was given. It seemed a natural precaution to hold the filthy thing at arms length for fear of contagion. When my mother dies, her Christian Science literature is going to be a huge bonfire. I just pray that I don't have to take any of it into my own home when I care for her...
What about Joseph having a personal divination cup? Even if he didn’t practice divination wouldn’t possessing it or tricking people with it have demonic repercussions or affect his ability to hear clearly from God? Also there’s the burning of incense with sacrifices, crystal stones in ephods. Anointing oil, laying on of hands, blessed objects, trances, fasting, casting of lots, ect. Are used in many religions and spiritual practices both before and after Judaism/Christianity…To say one practice is Christian and the other is pagan should be boiled down to the heart behind it.
Sadly even the Bible can be used for the purpose of witchcraft if the person wielding it is trying to manipulate and control self seeking outcomes.
How about Hezekiah destroying the bronze serpent in 2 Kings? Something that was created to be good, being defiled and used for idolatry.
II Kings 18:4 NKJV
“He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.”
Really good stuff. Definitely not going to bring in suspect items into my life or knowingly participate in weird stuff…but are we in danger of going charismatic satanic panic crazy? Yes. I think my bent is probably closer to what Michael is saying. That being said, I think the matter of how convenience and conscience interplay and informs is funny too (ie, the house with a good price that we REALLY need to move into can be redeemed but grandmas chair can’t be, so burn it). Definitely need to have some broad (and sometimes specific) boundaries, but this whole thing can go sideways pretty quickly.
I am hoping for more explanation on the prohibition on angel figurines. What could be wrong with an angel figure, say, on top of a Christmas tree?
Are you worshipping Angels then stop that only worship Jesus. Now if it is an object of evil like a satanic figurine then yes get rid of it but only you can decide how far you should take this.
Jeremiah 10. You can interpret that however you want but I no longer have a Christmas tree. I’m not a legalist. I just see these verses as is.
It would be a question of whether you are praying to the angel.
@@TheRemnantRadio thanks for the clarification!
@@marydbaker The bible would describe you as one with weak faith, but not having a Christmas tree is fine, so is having one. As long as you do not worship trees. Jeremiah is not talking of christmas trees at all.
What if you live with a relative who's unbeliever who has horror movies & possible unclean items? How do you block that stuff?
Great question! I would like to hear others opinions on this as well.
A Baptist pastor who had just started at a fairly large church in the Baton Rouge area amd one of the first things he put up in his office was a Buddha. That was 1990 and they had 2000 members.
The church merged with another congregation and died in 2019. I don’t know if there's a connection, and maybe the Buddha was a symbol of the decay that led to the church's death. It was always creepy being in that guys office with that thing.
And no one ever brought up the first commandment to him?
I did. He just dismissed me - "all things are permissable".
I am going to disagree on the mother Mary part though. I think you can buy it from the wrong place and if it part of the Santería. I think, personally, that is what evangelicals get mixed up with Catholics and saints. Catholics don’t worship Mary or saints. But if you practice Santería you do. And Guadalupe she is not Mary. She is something else.
What is your understanding of martial arts? Is it the same as yoga?
And there are a number of different styles of martial arts; karate, jujitsu, taekwondo, mixed martial arts (MMA).
The Marine Corps has a Martial Arts Program that all members are required to take. According to Wiki "the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) is a combat system developed... to combine existing and new hand-to-hand and close quarters combat techniques..."
I believe most Special Forces (ie Seals, Rangers, Green Berets, Combat Controllers, Pararescue) are taught hand to hand combat skills probably derived from MMA and jujitsu.
This is a topic we’re planning to discuss. Stay tuned!
For me, halal food is a nono since I live in London. My question though is, what about Orthodox shrines people make in their homes? I can't help but think to put an axe to those icons and such but I'm not sure since it's in a 'christia' context.
@ChristianPhilosemite I am a recent convert to Catholicism from Pentecostal-Charismatic evangelicalism. Learning the theology of iconography and sacred art helped me understand and appreciate their significance and honor more, as well as to love our Lord and His saints more deeply. Exorcists often note that in cases of severe demonization, an aversion to blessed, sacred objects is often a telling sign that a demonic presence is there. Where I would dispose of sacred Christian art is when it has been compromised and tainted by religious syncretism, like in Santería, Candomblé, etc.
Why does halal food bother you?
I have items from Egypt that I acquired back in the 90s before becoming a Christian. I got rid of all the papyrus but still have a couple of little sphinx figurines. I've traveled the world, what about paintings, what about all the Mayan textiles??

@@TheRemnantRadio never mind, that part was chopped from the video
My friends i have talked about objects that were brought home from foreign countries. Some the Holy Spirit guides us by conviction to trash or burn. I have sweet friends that wont drink in front of me because of my past: abusive alcoholic parents. I have never asked them not to. Eating food that offends my Indian friend (no beef). In front of her i would probably choose chicken or fish, to show her love. Knowing scripture inside and out and having conversations with others can lead them into truth. You dont have to know their beliefs. But i still think for some, God has led you to learn about it. Others not so. I hunger for His Word, but I want to know how to show them respect so i looked up Hindu on the internet and did dome studying, because i love her and care about her and her soul. Convictions is an old term nowadays. People have different convictions. Allow others to follow their convictions about food at a wedding. Now that i know about it being dedicated, i personally will say no thank you at the wedding. But I can pray over it andGod can redeem it for His good. We are His ambassadors and we are to take back the land that God gave us in Eden. Take back the land of our Creator.
I’ve never seen a verse in the Bible that says respect false religions or follow their rituals/rules when in front of a pagan so you don’t hurt their feelings. Do you have a biblical example? To me it would be rude to make their food with ingredients they abstain from but you can eat whatever like Jesus says… and the NT mentions not to stop eating meat because someone asks/demands you to or says it’s bad because god has allows you to eat meat. Only abstain if you want to but not because of someone else … like a vegan or if someone says it’s bad for the climate and to eat ze bugs etc 😂.

So we purchased a dude perfect board game and the goal is to collect a specific amount of "golden boys" to win.
The golden boys look a lot like little Grammy award idols.
Is that a form of unhealthy syncretism?

Do I need to throw out the whole game and burn or bury it?

Pokémon is a cause for concern. After playing Pokémon Go, my young son started seeing dark shadows.
I think in this case its an innocence and vulnerability issue with your son. Perhaps the demons latched onto an innocent practice that was already there
There are millions of children and adults watching and playing pokemon. They don't all see dark shadows. Either the dark shadows come from somewhere else or your son worships these pokemon or something. But pokemon in itself is not evil or possessed.

Question: Simple Jade Bracelet with no pattern engraved. Okay or not okay?
I purchased this bracelet because I loved the beautiful stone it was made of. I had heard that in Asian culture they wear them for good luck but that was not why I purchased it.
Is this an object that is redeemable? I only ask because it has lovely memories for me so I’d like to keep it. But I have no desire to invite evil into my life. Thoughts?
If it wasn’t used for a pagan religious ceremony (in which case throw it out), then we’d recommend that you pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you on whether you should keep it or not.
People are redeemed, not objects. God made jade, so unless you know for a fact that the bracelet is dedicated to some demon, don't worry about it. The Earth is YHWH's and everything in it.
How about names. It’s vry common in Latin America to be named after a certain Virgin Mary for example Maria de Guadalupe or Maria de Los Angeles (in Costa Rica the name of “La negrita”) how about that?

Seems unreasonable that an idolatrous object hidden in a believers house unbeknownst to them has the power to oppress them. Doesn’t make sense. Does that mean that an adversary can hide idols in your front yard bush to spite you? What if they’re mini idols the size of a grain of salt sprinkled all over the yard with a drone? See the point? 1 Cor 8:4-7 suggests that a person’s attitude towards the idol is what is the driving factor.
Seems unreasonable until it happens to you and your whole household is getting attacked by demonic entities. We got severely attacked until we fasted, prayed and cried out to God what in the world was going on and he showed us things in and around our home. When I got rid of them, demons would visit me that night.

What is the main message of Habakkuk?
Trust the Lord, no matter what. That is Habakkuk's message for God's people around the world today. Believers can, and must, trust in God no matter how tumultuous outward circumstances may become. Habakkuk is unique in that the prophet is not speaking to God's people but rather to God himself.
I myself had talked to God myself and it almost killed me but Jesus keeps me alive and take me every night to be judged by my Father and tell em what’s going on and they are pretty aware who is the real dragon Ezequiel preached about we’re not even half way Jesus comes through worship nobody is worshipping people are trying to feel safe on their own, we are following his word either we like it or not.
God rules everywhere, everything and everything starts with him and will finish with him for those who really knew him, not those who pretended to.

It's very deep, and so many people do not realize what they're talking about.

So not even angel pictures or statutes?
Yeah, curious about where Christian iconography and statuary falls in this discussion. I know there are syncretistic cults like Santeria that use Christian artwork in their rituals, but strictly speaking, from a Catholic or Orthodox perspective, Christian icons and statuary are consecrated to God and for holy use.

A green light they will feel peace, a red and yellow light they will feel yucky. Anything other than a green light is a no. This helps them practice discernment. I hope this makes sense!
Yes, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you
This episode seems inconsistent to me. On one hand you’re saying don’t take it too far; and then don’t take a chance on anything; the next is use your discernment. It really seems that for many examples y’all just don’t know. It seems very subjective. I personally wouldn’t have a Budda or something in my house, why? I’m not sure why, whether it’s discernment or superstition I can’t tell. I would be more convinced if you could offer more New Testament examples about objects being cursed. But it seems more about people and practices that are evil.
A lot of your view point seems to be based on anecdotal experiences, which aren’t as verifiable nor biblically confirmable as I would like. I can just envision a whole lot of 1990’s burning of cds, movies, books (some of which would be good to do), but you haven’t drawn a clear enough line for most people. Imo
For some things, like objects used in worship to a false god or demonic activity, the answer is easy - get rid of it. For other items (which can be used for good or bad purposes), the answer could be yes or no. We’re saying you need to ask the Holy Spirit.
Instead of communicating with Justin cordially and in the background, you're supposed to make a response video, and then he makes a response to your response, and then you guys continue the trend to boost each others' total watch times.
They said they would send him an email. What’s your issue?

I have a comment that maybe you all can answer. I worship YHWH. That is the name of the "Old Testament" GOD. I also worship HIS Son, Jesus(who is also Yehoshua). I also worship the Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit(two forms of the same being as well). I worship the 3 in ONE, but you all say to worship Jesus only. According to the Bible, it says to pray in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whom I intuit as YHWH, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Is this blasphemy against Jesus? Or is it doing well according to the Word of God?
The Bible does not depict inanimate objects being possessed by evil.
Isaiah 44.9-20 ridicules idols but says nothing about them being imbued by evil.
Jeremiah 10 speaks against the use of idols but says nothing about them being imbued by evil.
Ezekiel 8 is one of the best ones. Ezekiel has a vision, given to him by the Holy Spirit, which involves him "flying" into the Jerusalem temple where he sees idolatry being practiced and lots of idols... but no evil spirit is seen possessing these idols. If inanimate objects could be possessed by evil, the Holy Spirit would've shown this to Ezekiel.
Off topic but could you do a prophetic review of John Paul Jackson’s Perfect Storm prophecy?
What about crucifixes?( not crosses...crosses that have Jesus on them...Catholic)?
What about statues of mary?
Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance on Exodus 20:4-6. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Genuinely asking about halal foods. Is it idolatry if I buy lamb from a Persian store where all meat is halal.
No
Paul said pray over your food and eat. You only sin when a weaker christian sees you eating and stumbles because of you. 1 cor 12-13 and romans 14:22.
Ken fish teaches about this. If you know it is Halal stay away.
Halal (permissable) vs haram(forbidden), it's just dietary laws for Muslims similar to kosher (but not identical). If you think halal is idolatrous, never plan on going to the middle east, even as a missionary. You will starve.
It's not idolatry unless you personally believe it is. This is why food sacrificed to idols is brought up in the NT. Romans and 1 Corinthians are good books for this.
At 4 minute mark, why are y'all interested in catering to Justin Peters? Leave him be.
There are deliverance ministers (often husband & wife) who travel the world looking for demons under every rock, photo, amulet, ring, lamp, painting, toy, vehicle, tree, bench, desk, tomb stone, grave, altar, ect., and they find what they are looking for and far more. They and their family become possessed and need to constantly have the demons cast out of them. Thank God that I was DELIVERED FROM DELIVERANCE.
Delivered from deliverance?
@@damaygo1742 Yes. I left the hyper deliverance move of the 80's because I had lost my zeal for soul winner. I still believe in deliverance, but I don't go looking for demons to cast out.
@@damaygo1742it’s kind of like becoming a heresy hunter. You can get so wrapped up in not being wrong that the process itself becomes sinful.
I think this is what OP is referring to.
As American Christians, we most often err on the other side. Not enough attention to what demons practice against us using what message, medium, or object.
@@marydbaker totally agree. People in the west tend to default to an anti spiritual worldview (even Christians). So that danger should be considered on this topic.
But again it can consume people in an unhealthy way, so it requires awareness.
