Many people below have said, "We never believe anything a demon says. They can only lie."
Sometimes the demons speak the truth, such as in Acts 16 where the woman possessed with a spirit of divination said of Paul and his companions, "These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation." Was that not the truth? Yet after many days Paul, having become "grieved" as Scripture says, rebuked the demon. This was not for what the demon was saying through the woman, but because of the way it was being done and the effects it was having on the people.
So we see clearly in Scripture that sometimes the demons are constrained to speak the truth about Christ and His saints, about the way of salvation, but with evil intentions.
The letters by Paul are not scripture. They are letters to congregations he started. It is heresy to believe that one man, Paul, could cancel any of HaShem's commands. Paul never quotes Yeshua. I find that a real issue! As an orthodox Jew who follows the Living Torah, Yeshua, I can not accept anything Paul says as he contradicts the very commands of God. So no, I will not trust anything a demon says on the basis of what Paul says in one of his supposed letters. We will have to agree to disagree. Any teacher who denies God's Torah commands is teaching a false message and Satan is testing people to see if they will follow heresy. Shalom aleichem.
@@shoshanahsusanbrenner2224 In that case you'll also need to reject the teachings of Luke, Peter and the other Apostles who confirmed Paul as THE Apostle to ANYONE including you in this current POST STONING of Stephen 'age'.
Yes, you do have the free will accept/reject what Christ THROUGH Paul taught that applies to currently ALL OF US.
What if it was a call from the possessed women for help? The poor woman was exploited and maybe that's how she found a way out. She was delivered. Look at who retaliated? It wasn't the demons, it was the people who exploited her and the demons within her? Some humans are more wicked than demons. I see that story as a clear example of it.
@@MAT-244 "....are more wicked.... " I don't know the answer to that.
Christ THROUGH Paul taught that ANYONE ( in the current POST-STONING of Steven 'age') - regardless of their past/future sin - IS saved the moment they place their complete trust/faith in Christs death/burial/resurrection to forgive/save them.
You have the free will to believe/reject what Christ THROUGH Paul taught.
@@robusc4940 it was a personal opinion, not a belief or fact. Of course, Jesus saves from all sin. Howver, Jesus also said, there is ONE sin that cannot be forgiven and that's blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. When a person crosses that line that the devil crossed, they become CURSED FOR ETERNITY with him. Here is another personal opinion, maybe some demons hope that they might be given another chance so they try to do the right thing. However, this doesn't mean we can sympathize with or believe them. God is clear about that. We should not befriend them. It's a no no. On the other hand, there is no sin that is bigger than God's grace and no power more powerful than his Spirit. I have asked God so many "hard" questions and expressed my insane opinions to him. He was NEVER mad with me and in fact he was always pleased that I'm honest with him even when my honesty can be the most foolish thing. I approach him as a child. I want to know and get rid of what bothers me. Many "christians" would not dare to do that and will rather twist and bend what we say to make us feel guilty. I don't feel guilty and the Lord NEVER got angry or offended by those. On the other hand, I was rebuked by the Holy Spirit a few times. Here is an example of them. I used to use the expression, "go to hell" often. He told me to stop because I have no idea how hell is or input in who will go there.
This video is so true. Many people constantly move to avoid problems and they finnaly realize they are the problem. The Jesus Prayer is very powerful and burns the demons. I find the prayer essential to my life every day.
The first Christians also moved across the world, taking the Light of the Gospel with them to new places & new people... Judge not.
@@mariaashot5648 the first Christians moved around spreading the gospel. This person was trying to escape a problem.
@@mariaashot5648Theres a difference between a mission and/or a pilgrimage and just being a nomad with no end goal or destination. One clearly has a purpose while the other is simply drifting.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
🙋♂️ God bless you and your family dear brother in Christ 🙋♂️ 🙏 🙏 🙏 ☦️ 👨👩👦👦!!!
We ask for and receive His available grace🙏🏾.
We are all sinners I guess just never give up and keep in touch with JESUS
Amen 🙌🩸➕️🔥🕊♥️
a sheep, not a sinner.
The Jesus prayer is an invaluable tool to fight against OCD. Ocd is not cute like the show monk, it's like having a demon whispering in your ear. Glory to God.
Hi godrilla, invaluable comment. Can you elaborate? With gratitude.
@@john_ambrose when the intrusive thoughts start, as soon as you can say the Jesus prayer, do it every time they come back.
Lord, Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. I offer my pain and suffering today to the poor soul that is most in need.
Your own pain and suffering is a gift from God. Use it to offer up to the Lord and join Jesus in embracing your cross. I suffer from one condition that is fatal in 2 to 3 years. I also suffer several spine problems and have undergone numerous surgeries. I am in my mid fifties. There are plenty days where the pain would be unbearable if not for Jesus carrying me. Please, pray not for me, but for those that lack the grace to hear Gods calling. And, please realize what a gift your pain and suffering is and share it. God bless you guys.
May God heal you. I pray.
May God bless you
Our Lord is so merciful to his faithful such as yourself. It pains me to think of all those who suffer with their health who do not know our lord. Even I don't struggle with health problems, but before I knew the Lord I suffered through much emotional pain and circumstances without a relationship with God. It was unbearable. Our merciful Lord has carried me through so much since then.
Ive made it a habit to say the Jesus prayer 3 times after each temptation enters my mind. It has been a great help.
Demons leave at the name of Jesus. May our God be glorified and praised. Alleluia.
Elder Ephraim, pray to God for us.
What? Why cant you just pray to God?
Of course, by praying to a saint we are not excluding prayer to God. There are many articles and videos explaining why it’s perfectly normal and justified to ask the saints to pray for us. Here are a couple videos to help get started:
th-cam.com/video/F5pJTz5EA0k/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/ktdUn18Ti1o/w-d-xo.html
“God is wondrous in His saints.” -Psalm 67:36
You have as much access to God as any other mortal body. He is waiting for you to cry out to Him. In Jesus name. The Bible states come unto me all you that are labor and heavy Laden and I will give you rest.
Has he been canonized so quickly?
@@desireecordiceThe saints have ascended to the heavens and are in such ineffable proximity to God, unlike us. Also, don’t forget that the prayer of a righteous man avails much, as it is told in the book of James.
I dont listen to demons they decieve . Listen to the Holy Spirit who teaches the truth in all areas
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us
🙏🙌❤️
Jesus have mercy on me a sinner !
Please pray for the miracle healing of my Heart teeth gums eyes ears stomach lungs and all the organs and parts of my body mind spirit 🙏
Κύριε Ιησού Χριστέ Ελέησον με
There have been times where I too have started to say the prayer and the thoughts come at me like that screaming No, don’t say the prayer, Stop it,, God doesn’t love you, but I keep on with the prayer and sometimes I’ve experienced intense dizziness as well, from the pain and passion of anger.
The Lord Christ Yeshua free you now from the clutches of evil demons who seek the ruination of man.
You are a vessel of God. A holy cup.
Let the filth be washed away from you now so that you may become a clean vessel for the living God to dwell within.
Lord Holy Christ my Lord God please remove all rebellion from this child. Send your Holy Spirit now Lord to reclaim this tabernacle for Himself.
Now in the holy name of our Lord and Saviour Yeshua be cleansed.
So be it
@@patkeohane5005 thank you brother. I read your prayer and started crying tears of pain. Yes rebellion is afflicting me heavily.
I stand in agreement with this prayer for our brother/sister in Christ. In Jesus holy name 🙏 Amen 🙏
I love this being Catholic. I have recently been given the vocation of making wire wraped rosaries and I will now make this prayer rope for All peoples. Pray for my ministry in doing this, thankyou. Amen.
Catholic is a Greek word meaning universal.. just like the true Christian church, universal .☦️.it's even used in our Creed..the Nicene Creed ( 325AD)..." one,holy, Catholic and apostolic church"..yes the true church/ faith..many folks get the word mixed up with papist.. completely different.blessings..
Rosary is not even in the Bible = the word of God.
Neither the 7 sacraments.
Catholicism if full of pagan worship. IDOLATRY
Thank You Lord Jesus Christ, for Your flaming sword. For Your glory. Amen.
you have exposed things so true.this prayer is so powerful and useful. the prayer is vital. let s fight with JESUS PRAYER. BE BLESSED🐈
Amen Lord for give us and have mercy on us amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏😇🛐✝️😌😚
Thank you for this beautiful reading about the suffering of people in our own time.
From my experience, when evil thoughts enter your mind, performing the sign of the cross along with the Jesus Prayer with contrition will always be your tool against the evil one and his minions.
I was accosted by demons while saying the Jesus prayer. Never have had a vision before but only when I said the Jesus prayer repetitively in my bed sitting up.
@@hewhohasearstohearlethimhe4284 So you deny the work of Jesus Christ?
Who did Christ send into the swine, per their own request?
God help you. That’s quite the creative interpretation, and yet still doesn’t address the event in history of Christ casting demons out of men. If you ever begin to realize how deceived you are, feel free to reach out. Myself and many others in the Orthodox Church will be happy to help.
@@hewhohasearstohearlethimhe4284 No such thing as Satan? Who does Jesus have an encounter with in Luke 4:1-13? It is the devil/adversary/Satan.
Your comments here can stand but you’re blocked from my channel. Pontificating and insulting for your heretical beliefs, especially in the way you are doing it, isn’t going to fly here.
Demons are thousands of years old many are fallen angels, these demons know the holy books inside out..Some tell the truth others lie,which is why Our Father prayer and theJesus prayer are so important in our life's.. Bless you excellent video and Bless world family...

We can create and form godly thoughts by reminding ourselves of the Promises of God. Learn these Promises by heart and apply these Promises by faith, thereby transcending all forms of human thoughts to that of divine thoughts. Thoughts cannot control us unless we give it power over us. Satan cannot influence you beyond your control, you master Satan by the thoughts you put into your mind. Stay empowered Stay blessed Stay under the protection of the Most Blessed Mother! Pray at all times in the will of the Most Holy Father. God bless you, the reader.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a poor sinner.
So many on this thread line just wanna bicker. Just say the prayer, it works! It has changed my life. And, yes, I'm a convert to the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. It's Christ's Church . . .
Jesus truely i trust in you🙏
Very good!

This is so true.
In the Holy Bible the blind man didn't blame God why he is in this condition rather than he cried out saying :-
*_And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”_*
~ Luke 18:38
What are we doing? Seeking His divine mercy or blaming God with heart full of pride?
Lord Jesus Christ, Have Mercy on me, a sinner.
I wanna build a Orthodox Church inside my city in South America

A follow up comment! I have made 9 days ago my Holy Name of Jesus chaplet to pray on with waxed 1mm cotton & with a small cross.
We have many chaplets in Catholic Faith as you might know, so it comes easy to pray this universal early church prayer.
The wonderful diversity of this 33 knot Jesus chaplet, is that one can alter the short prayer." Lord Jesus Christ Son of The Living God have mercy on me a sinner."
Or "My Jesus Mercy" which I favour, as I engraved these 3 words once into a tree! Or " Most Sacred Heart (Divine Heart) of Jesus have mercy "
One could make a same chant to Mother Mary. As the devil hates Our Blessed Mothers Intercession as you know!
Thankyou for the inspirational story of wonderful history. May the saints prayer for us, urge us onwards
So I will likely make these also from now on, too for other's to pray the Jesus prayer. Its relaxing tieing a knot, easily learnt on youtube. One could make them any place with much blessings.
Please become Orthodox. You have great zeal and I wouldn’t want that to go to waste in schism and heresy.
@OrthodoxWisdom Hi. As I have 2 sisters whom are practising witches, very powerful and under their attacks. It gifts me ( unfortunately) to know Catholic male and female witches in my parish and other parishes, the true church is definitely under attack and I too. I haven't been going to Mass these last 3 months due to this. It might be wise for me to look in Brisbane Queensland Australia for the holiest orthodox church.
Also, I'm wondering about the line of Apostles in the Orthodox churches? As my twin sister and I were baptised as babies in the medium level Anglican Church by a Dean. An Orthodox priest told me few months ago from the phone in Sydney, that if my Baptism is not of the Apostolic line, iam not Baptised than! That was news to me, as I became Catholic in my mid 20's, 30 yrs ago and my Baptism is accepted.
My question is to prove as the two churches broke away, the Apostle lines within the Orthodox churches?
Thankyou for responding as it bought this heavy cross out in my life to speak of it.
Im happy to try and answer your questions but it might be better if you emailed me: orthodoxwisdom1 @ gmail . com
(ignore the spaces, they are just there so TH-cam doesn’t take my comment down)
@@OrthodoxWisdom Thankyou, I will
Amen!
I would NEVER trust anything a demon says. Satan is the father of lies and his demons are just as deceptive.
The saints had discernment to know what is true and false from the demons. The demon spoke correctly in Mark 1:24 when saying to Jesus, “I know who you are-the Holy One of God.”
How different is everything when the Holy Spirit is present.
“How does an egotist differ from a demon?”
I can hardly imagine. Hence why I do what I can to forgo my ego, this false self of mine which hides the id, my true self.
Praying for julio behaviour to change n be obedient n respectful and responsible n not to waste time in mobile games but to concentrate on studies n have good brain n not to go wrong path help him to pass 12th exam practical n theory exam with good marks n good percentage
Please send me the Jesus Prayer. Thank you.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
Lord, Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner
Wait, are the demons truly incapable of repentance or too proud to?
This is a tricky subject, but I've gleaned a few things from Orthodox literature (sorry, can't remember well enough for citations).
When they rebelled, it was something much clearer and different than when we sin. Our eyes are closed by being primarily focused on the physical world.
The demons are too proud and their "nature" as demons makes them only desire evil.
Also, St. Isaac the Syrian mentions that when one reaches saintly love, he even pities the demons. If a human, who is attaining Godliness, actually even loves the demons, then how could God not also love them? The fathers, especially St. Isaac, say that hell is the rejection of God's love and the incapability to accept it as such.
My own reflection, take it or leave it, is that if they really wanted to spite God or "prove their case", they'd leave humanity alone: "See, we're not doing anything now, but He still condemns us." Instead, they choose to keep going down the path of evil. I've yet to hear in any encounter of a demon saying "well, we have no choice but do do evil now."
I can suggest looking at what Saint Paisos of Mount Athos said about praying for demons.
@@hewhohasearstohearlethimhe4284 idk, that sounds like something a coping demon would say...
@@NoOneInParticular94 Thank you, that's an interesting perspective :)

It's true, demons never lie
Do demons ever tell the truth??
So did father Amorth said...on his own church...
Demons blame God for their own chosen actions. Think about that and how such influence applies in our world and lives.
❤️☦️🙏
He can't bring himself down off the cross. The vinegar drew out out the demon. Don't let this cross conquer you christ. We bow our head and pray come holy spirit fill the hearts of thy faithful departed enkindle in us the fire of thy love Send forth your spirit and renew the face of earth.
Your* thy
Oh most powerful and living father . Be it done according to thy word.
Cool. I remember this prayer.
..but I have lost my faith.
Keep yours.
Not all is lost.. sit in a room and focus your mind in your heart while you say the Jesus prayer. Do not create scenes with your mind even good ones. Just follow the meaning of the prayer linking mind and heart. Thoughts of grief or rage don't let them trouble you just let them fade softly. Ignore. Nothing is lost yet I promise. Keep with this and Jesus will come to your heart 🌸
Someone please post the Jesus prayer!!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
can anyone go to mount athos and stay there for a while ?
Yes,u have to make a deal with them on their site,send them email and they will tell u how and when
Jerimiah 6
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Cut down the trees
and build siege ramps against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished;
it is filled with oppression.
7 As a well pours out its water,
so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence and destruction resound in her;
her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
8 Take warning, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away from you
and make your land desolate
so no one can live in it.”
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Let them glean the remnant of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
like one gathering grapes.”
10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen to me?
Their ears are closed[a]
so they cannot hear.
The word of the Lord is offensive to them;
they find no pleasure in it.
That is the Spirit of Ishtar of Mesopotamia, Ashtorah-Egypt, Aphrodity- Greece.
I was very far away from God by my own pride. I was hateful towards Christianity and I called it weak/a slave religion. A friend introduced me to Orthodoxy and I began to realize, my way of life is evil and wrong. A dread seized my body and I felt terrible. I'd cry randomly, or right before work almost every day. I was seeking oblivion with alcohol and distractions. Finally a little voice started saying so sweetly "It'd be okay to kill yourself." "It'll be so quick and then it's over." "Your family will be fine." "Your wife can find someone new." but something hit me. That was not how my internal voice sounds. I became increasingly depressed, people on the streets turned on me, my bosses turned on me, I felt alone. I almost got there. Then finally, I started walking around at night "on the rocks" like this man did saying the Jesus Prayer over and over ashamed, feeling unworthy of Christs love ever again. "Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner." the voice came back to my mind. "Stop this! You're embarrassing yourself. You don't need anyone's help!" "Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, have mercy upon me a sinner." "You don't nee-----". Silence. All of the dread/anxiety/pain/depression/suicidal thoughts were blown away from me. I had a great sense of peace for the first time in so long. When I got home from work I grabbed my (now Orthodox wife) and told her "We have to go to Matins" she was obviously surprised and not happy for a 5am church visit but inside I felt good. I'm fully baptised for a few years now, so is my wife and my friend who also came with me out of the same dark/hateful material worship and self aggrandizement. Thank you God for all things. Thank you Holy St. Michael my patron and my hero. That you my Holy Guardian Angel. Christ is King, Satan is defeated. All demons flee from his name and presence. Christ is king, his prayer is a sword that cuts all evil away.
They should pray for stopping upcoming Yellowstone explosion if it works .
I have a honest with respect question that is why to pray for mercy repeatedly when father God shown his mercy already by the crucifixion of his son Jesus on the cross. And what if we pray 'thank you father for your mercy upon us through your son Jesus.'
I really want to know with my respectful approach. Thanks🙂
why didn’t the elders or other priests cast the demons out? The orthodox have a rite of exorcism do they not?
Just thinking.
How does the constant saying of this prayer fit with Christ’s teaching on prayer in Matthew 6:7.
“And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances..."
@@eduardsusai559
Thanks; if the word ceasing is literally interpreted in that way I could see a tenuous reasoning. Although scripture should not contradict itself.
@@Mercyme57 Thank you for your understanding. The Jesus prayer is only vain repetition if you aim to say it as much as possible or if you think by saying it a bunch of times it will grant you heaven. When orthodox say the Jesus prayer, we aim that God may just hear us. One Jesus prayer isin't any better than 100. God bless you
Why the priests didn’t pray on him to cast out the demon?
Jesus tells us 43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
@@onlyjoshingwhy didn’t you also quote the passages where Jesus casted out demons?
@tylerdavis520 so essentially. The empty house a man without the Holy Spirit. The monastery thought the man how to silence the demon with the power Christ gives us. If they ast it out and sent him away, it may have just cane back. Also, even some monks are not strong enough to cast out strong demons. There was an example where the disciples had to come and ask Christ Himself to do it.
@tylerdavis520 it's like giving a man a fish vs teaching him to fish and giving him fishing equipment.
why couldn’t the elder cast the demon out?
The spiritual life is not magic. Christ is still Lord and we should not presume to know exactly how He will act in each situation. Maybe it was better for the man to remain as he was until a later time. We need not be scandalized.
Are You people american orthodox?
Why did the priest not call an exorcist?
Jesus prayer is a type of exorcism.
Why didn’t you priests cast the demon out of the man in Jesus name, then baptism him?
I don't want you to be afraid of anything. You are already afraid of death as it is. Do not be afraid of what comes after. Be a better person because you will live a better life. It is not fair to use the threat of afterlife harm because that is a way of controlling people through fear. There definitely could be a hell tho, but if I were God I would pardon every soul upon death. Sin is in the body, it is our flesh that gives us all the deadly sins, lust, anger, jealousy, envy, gluttony, sloth, and worst of all pride. The body pays the ultimate price for sins. The death penalty. The soul does not return with human emotions or behavior. Souls are not to be punished. Your soul is safe with me. But you are definitely going to die.
Body and soul are connected. If we completely dive into our passions, they become part of our soul. When the soul leaves the body it loose its object through which it can satisfies these passions and thus suffers, is not able to receive the God's love. He wants us to make a free choice in this life to partake and cooperate with Him in liberating our souls through our bodies. That theory you're mentioning is a common temptation to create our own God, from our disabled perception of how should love and mercy be like and is in its essence just a seek for permission to sin.
How is this title to be understood? Do you think demons are trustworthy? I dont think so.
We aren't strictly relying on a demon, we are relying on the saints, of which St. Joseph the Hesychast is one and some members of his brotherhood are, including Elder Ephraim of Arizona, who perceive the truth or falsehood of what the demon is saying by the indwelling guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Yohusha said unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
YO'UCHENUN (JOHN) 14:6
Breaking down the wall of lies.
The name "Jesus" is a counterfeit and "The Lord" is Ba'al.
We know that The Meshiychuk (Messiah) had the same name as so called "Joshua";
EXODUS 17:10
First in Hebrew;
ויעש יהושע כאשר
אמר־לו משה להלחם
בעמלק ומשה אהרן
וחור עלו ראש
הגבעה׃
Hebrew reads from right to left.
Second word is Yohusha, (יהושע).
(Yo)d (h)e (u)au (sh)in (a)yin, Yo h u sh a.
EXODUS 17:10 in English:
So יהושע Yohusha (Joshua) did as Meshih (Moses) had said to him, and fought with Amelaq: and Meshih, Ahren, and Chur went up to the top of the hill.
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Yoshir'al, that by the name of יהושע Yohusha The Meshiychuk (Messiah) of Natsareth, whom ye crucified, whom Alahym אלהים (Alef lamed he yod mem, A la h y m) raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
ACTS 4:10-12
And it shall be at that day, says Yohuah, that you shall call me Yishiy (Husband); and shall call me no more Ba`aliy (Lord). For I will take away the names of Ba`aliym out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
HUSHA (HOSEA) 2:16-17
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Ba`al (Lord).
The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that has my Word, let him speak my Word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says Yohuah.
YIRMEYOHU (JEREMIAH) 23:26-28
The Meshiychuk's (Messiah's) name is Yohusha;
(Yo)d (h)e (u)au (sh)in (a)yin.
Facts are facts and acts are acts;
Fact - יה=Yoh The True Alahym.
Act/Masquerade - יעה=Yah the moon alahym.
The Ayin does not belong in The True name יהוה/𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄/Yohuah (The Father), (Yo)d (h)e (ua)u (h)e.
Why put "a" where it shouldn't be?
Placing letters where they don't belong is what the Jews did and still do.
There is no Ayin after the Yod without Massoretic vowel points or planting it there!
I Yohuah have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the other nations;
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
I am Yohuah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
YOSHA'YOHU 42:6-8
Yohusha said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Yorushilym, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for yoshua (salvation) is of the Yohudym. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Ruach (Spirit) and in Truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
Alahym is that Ruach: and they that worship him must worship him in Ruach and in Truth.
YO'UCHENUN (JOHN) 4:21-24
So will I make my qudash (set apart) name known in the midst of my people Yoshir'al; and I will not let them pollute my qudash name anymore: and the heathen shall know that I am Yohuah, the Qudash One in Yoshir'al. Behold, it is come, and it is done, says Adaniy Yohuah; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
YITZAQ'AL (EZEKI'AL) 39:7-8
Now will I point out a mystery: Many sinners shall turn and transgress against the Word of uprightness. They shall speak evil things; they shall utter falsehood; and create a great creation; and compose scrolls/books in their own words.
But when they shall write all my Words correctly in their own languages, They shall neither change or diminish them; but shall write them all correctly; all which from the first I have uttered concerning them.
CHENUAK (ENOCH) 104:7-9
I Yohuah have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the other nations; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
I am Yohuah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
YOSHA'YOHU (ISAIAH) 42:6-8
Why did you not drive the Demon out?
The person speaking is the narrator. Not the original writer. It's certain that they either did exorcise the demon, or did not, because they were not qualified ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably by accident cause no demons want us to know the power of the Jesus Prayer.
Sounds like demons are narcissists.
Prayer is the opening up of the heart to God as a friend. Useless repetitive phrases are not how you communicate with people, and it shouldn't be how you communicate with God. The bible does not endorse any kind of rosary and it compares those who repeat prayers to the pagans, who also have repetitive prayers and prayer beads.
Point of this prayer and what monks do is to descend Jesus name in the heart (literaly) , so your soul can unite with God which is in heart,but God will not let u descend if you are not humble and do 10 commanmends,only humility opens door of the heart.
@@Borivoje-rr4ym ''so your soul can unite with God which is in heart,''
I can do that with a simple, sincere prayer. By the way, monks and nuns are not a Christian concept, they are a pagan concept. Nowhere in scripture do you have celibate men and women secluded in ''monkeries'' or nunneries.
@@danielcristancho3524 u dont understand what am saying to you,u can be sincere how much u want,if u are not humble u cant enter heart,God is radiant light (literally) that Goes from bottom of the heart uniting with your eye of the soul.There are no thoughts or emotions in that realm,and your mind is not in the head anymore,its in the heart(literally).God is firing love,He purify your eye of the soul and all sins from the heart.Study about Jesus prayer what it really means,only one in couple of millions can enter heart realm.
@@Borivoje-rr4ym God is radiant light (literally) that Goes from bottom of the heart uniting with your eye of the soul''
You're right, I don't understand any of that. I don't know how one can be arrogant and yet sincere. Sincerity implies you are not only true in your quest for answers, you are humble enough to listen. I don't worry about the rest of it. I know that if my words are not adequate, the bible tells me that the Holy Spirit is there to make my words more than adequate. But I would never dream of breaking into a mantra while talking to my Savior.
No deliverance/ exorcism?
A common woman ???
If you want to delivered from demonization you can be set free unlike this illustration that didn’t come a resolution.
Look up Win Worley Deliverance or Derek Prince Deliverance and be delivered in Jesus’ Name if you don’t have a leader in your church or you don’t know anyone who can help you. You can be set free from these unclean spirits and you need to be in order that you live your life as intended. Be blessed
JESUS said unless a man is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3.3, 33-34)--You must be Sealed w/the HOLY SPIRIT! You must "Call out to Jeus now" Mr E E, you never cast out the demon!? Your orthodoxy is w/out substance. #1==NEVER GET INOT a discission; rather, command him to 'come out of (person's name) & never enter again!
...so wrong

So you have a person that has a demon....and you are with priests...and they did not do a exorcistsam..... 😭 for this poor man....
Why didn't they cast the demon out?Jesus said in mark 16:17,18 These signs shall follow them that believe... In my name they shall cast out demons... They shall lay hands on the sick and they will recover.... These poor brothers were never taught the power that they have in jesus name... How sad.
I wondered the same
is this the prayer children 4-17years old should say when they are being raped by their kidnappers?? this is the one that jesus or god will listen to or what?
What happened? Why are you reading brother in theatrical way now?
When I listen to my old recordings I wish I had more vocal landscape as I often sound flat. I also had a number of people encourage me to put more emphasis into my voice, and I agree with them. Most recordings, like today's new one, don't have an intended change in tones between different characters, but I still try and avoid a monotone reading.
No. I don’t agree. You should stay neutral. That’s western idea . As you know how we chant and read in the church. It can’t be theatrical.
Keep it simple brother.
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us.
@@VITAMINOZA1976 not sure if this is western Idea.. cuz when you tell stories you dont sound flat. No story teller is flat. Even if you read a book, in your head is not flat sound all the time. When you hear some tribes telling stories is never flat.. I guess also apostles or Jesus were not really flat when they talked.. and this is a story.. not a chant and liturgy :) just my humble thinking...
John 5:43
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
If our Messiah comes in the Father’s name. Then why are their names different? 🤔 It's impossible for Jesus to come in God's mame. Because God is a title, not a name. Our HEAVENLY FATHER has a Name, and it's YAHUAH! The name above all names! And our MESSIAH'S name is YAHUSHA HA’MASHIAC. YAHUSHA means YAHUAH is our SALVATION. I ask and pray that you come out of religion and the church. Scripture says study to show you are self approved unto YAHUAH. Don't take my word for it research on your own. Scripture also states that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Remember, the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
In the Bible, Baal is the name given to several different deities who are designated as false gods or idols. However, it is most often used to describe the specific Canaanite-Phoenician god of fertility and rain. Additionally, Baal is associated with Beezlebub, demons, and the devil.

Does not Yeshua / Jesus, command us to *not* call anyone “father,” except our only Father in the heavens!??
Does not the Apostle Paul say, “For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.” -1 Cor 4:15
Not in a supreme way, Father as God, but in a simple human way, father - someone that leads you (with God's, the only Father, help).
@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767 I used to think the same way when I was a protestant.. I'm no longer a protestant, I'm on a journey to seek God's truth by the power of the Holy Spirit... looking into the first centuries of church history will definitely open your understanding if you're honest and sincere about seeking truth!
And also you're taking those verses of Jesus out of context because by your logic, that would mean that you cannot even call the man that your mother married to help conceive you.. father😅
That was one ugly rolling stone.
Orthodox is a fancy name for protestant.
But it's Rome who began to protest.
