Thank you brother Jesse, we all need to reinforce this truth everyday in God's word. Praying for the young man who wrote you 🙏. The adversary to our faith is busy causing doubt. The blood of Jesus already has victory over eternal death. The finished work of the cross ✝️
It is strange that I can't make my own post but I can reply to a post. BUt yeh I am having a hard time the last several months because my dad died in August and one of my brother's died 6 weeks later. We were all prepared to provide care at home and all that and those were the only two helping me bear the family's financial burderns as well. I did not expect to get stuck like I am but maybe I am still grieving and certainly I am trying to adjust to the new reality we live here.But it's been very hard to pray much and about impossible to make a request of God. I have already learned that not making requests of God is a dead end. I still thank God for salvation and providing thus far but I feel like I am pretty well being ignored by God. I know this isn;t true but the feeling i strong like that.
I’ve been going through the same thing ever since I gave my life to Christ. Absolutely wicked, blasphemous thoughts. Spiritual warfare is real and the enemy is angry at you so he attacks your weaknesses. You need to keep reassuring yourself that the Heavenly Father would never forsake you. He knows your heart and knows you do not agree with those thoughts. You need to stay prayed up and in your Word. Stay strong because I know exactly what you are going through and this is a very common thing among believers. You are not alone. Much love! God bless! Shalom!!! ❤
The attacks are to keep you deceived and distracted from the truth which is not being taught. You will have to read the Bible yourself to figure it all out.
I 100% relate to this man who wrote in. You know that passage that talks about it being better for a millstone to be tied around the neck of the person who causes a little child to stumble and for the perpetrator to be cast into the sea? I'm one of those children that was caused to stumble by heresies which have tormented me for years and caused great mental distress such as major depressive disorder and OCD. In 2015, I accepted the truth of the gospel (faith alone in Christ alone); however, those tormenting false doctrines have haunted me ever since and plays out similarly to how this man describes. Sometimes I'm successful at doing battle with the truth of the Word. Other times, I'm not, and it's anguish. I've grown and I've also taken steps back. I have periods where I have such a fervor to speak the truth and shed light on the lies with the Word, the Sword of the Spirit. And then some oppressive spiritual attack pummels me. For those of us who suffered under the weight of doctrines of devils, it takes time to heal from the damage done to our minds. We are saved the instant we place our faith alone in Christ alone; however, unless God decides to undo the damage done to our minds in an instant (and He _can_ if He chooses), we must renew our minds with the truth of God's Word and do so repeatedly until the lies are permanently stamped out of our heads. It's an extremely difficult road to walk but we do not walk it alone. Thank you for sharing this. It's been much needed for me lately.
I've had moments where I've been seized by panic, felt like I couldn't breathe with all these thoughts attacking me. Sometimes all I can do is cry, "Help". And God does. There are times when I've felt too beat down to do battle; however, I know that even in those times that God is still with me. He still has me. This morning, I was in such a bad funk, and I just "happened" to hear the song, Great I Am that Phillips, Craig, and Dean sing. I sang to it, crying, allowing myself to express what my soul needed to express, worshipping God despite the terror I felt and, within seconds, I began to feel better. Sometimes simply praising God through the storm, through the onslaught of terrifying, intrusive thoughts is enough to bring peace for a whole day. I know it's hard dealing with spiritual oppression, but God will always have you, no matter what. He promises us this, and He cannot lie. HalleluYah, He _cannot_ lie and that He is faithful to keep His Word.
Thank you dear Brother Jesse! Eyes up! Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Acts 16:31 “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Colossians 1:14 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” Salvation is obtained by simply believing in Jesus’ death (Blood sacrifice), burial and resurrection for payment of all your sins (past, present and future) with your whole heart. Great video!
Such a timely and sorely needed video i too have been dealing with alot of spiritual warfare lately. Ive been experiencing some very unnerving things and appropriating the full armor of God is the best thing ive heard on how to deal with it im so looking forward to Jesus coming back God bless you all!
Also, I'd like to add that when I was in middle school, I dealt with awful OCD (still struggle with OCD but it's a bit different now than it was then). At it's worst, I couldn't choose which way to turn my head on my pillow at night without fearing I'd go to hell. One day, I couldn't take the agony anymore. I called my grandma who told me, "Brooke, God will not send you to hell for not touching a table when you walk through a room. Any time you get the urge to do something that a thought tells you to "or else", don't do it, and vice-versa. Eventually, those thoughts will leave you alone." I didn't think I'd be able to do it but I was so desperate for relief that I tried it, and it worked. I forced myself not to do what a compulsive thought told me _to_ do and to do what a compulsive thought told me _not_ to do "or else". Eventually, that particular struggle lessened until I was able to finally make my own decisions again. Those intrusive thoughts were lies and what was causing them knew it, too. The oppression I deal with now is a little different but I'm thinking that using this same tactic, such as paying it no heed but also adding the truth to combat it will help lessen the torment until one day it will be gone. And even if I spend the rest of my life battling this kind of thing, God's grace is sufficient for me. His grace is sufficient for you, too. ♥
Just to confirm, as this viewer also wrote. The last 2 weeks have been real torture and agony for me. They really set their sights on me, for example, nothing changes, you see that you are alone, they lie to you that it will get better. It won't nor to heal you, lie to you, etc. I'm holding on for now, thank God. Thank you and God bless you
Thank you , Pastor for this answer and thank you to the person who asked this question. I pray for you that you will overcome this attack for His glory. Amen.
"Feelings come and feelings go, And feelings are deceiving; My warrant is the Word of God-- Naught else is worth believing. Though all my heart should feel condemned For want of some sweet token, There is One greater than my heart Whose Word cannot be broken. I'll trust in God's unchanging Word Till soul and body sever, For, though all things shall pass away, HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!" -Martin Luther
You can never completely eliminate evil thoughts from entering your mind, we all have evil hearts, Jesus said only God is good, be conscious of the evil you often think, pray always at peace and patiently, God is with you and if there is a way to have only pure thoughts continually, let me know haha, don’t let it become a obsession, thoughts come and go. ❤
Thank you for your ministry. Recently I almost lost hope but your videos helped me keep my head above the water. God bless you, your family and your ministry. ❤🙏
John 3 16 KJV: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Thank You Pastor Jesse ❤ our thoughts cannot even compare to God's Plan, praying for all believers & that He returns soon! I look forward to a sinless body being able to truly experience what Jesus has to offer with many brothers & sisters ❤
I have these intrusive thoughts where I think, what if I am not saved. And I always come to the conclusion that I am saved only by believing on His Name. That, by and through Him am I saved. Nothing else. I remind myself of this and it's all I have to cling to. For I am nothing without Him, my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord. Amen.
This is why trusting your feelings or heart is dangerous. The Bible says the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it? That’s why Gods word is truth. Jesus is truth. We are to go off Gods word not what we feel because feelings change and the enemy can influence them. Rest in Christ my brethren.
I like the way you put the word of God in plain english instead of leaving everyone hanging with the phraseology of two or more millenniums ago. I'm not knocking the word as written in the bible, but to make it palatable and understandable for people today it needs to be translated with context, and you do a pretty good job of that. I know it wont happen, but I do wish the Lord would gift us with an updated version of his word. Not changing the message, just the language so people wouldn't be so intimidated by it. There are many 'preachers and pastors' out there that use the fact that the bible is not written in today's english to twist the word into something profitable for themselves instead of revealing the truth.
Everyone of the pieces is mentioned in the Old Testament, and the apostle Paul had all of this memorized for the Holy spirit to bring to mind for him to write
I view every negative thought, feeling and desire as a spiritual attack. I reject them, I refuse to own them. I only receive thoughts, feelings and desires that are in harmony with scripture.
Roman's 8:35 "who shall be able to separate us from the Love of Christ? Trouble or Distress or persecution or Famine or nakedness or danger or sword?" Notice God's Words Not even TROUBLE or DISTRESS can separate us. God Purposefully used these words. He wants us to Know this. To the man who wrote this I have been in your exact place, but Not even the Distress from your intrusive thoughts can separate you from Him. He knows these thoughts are not of you Some bad thoughts or any mental afflictions are nowhere near mighty enough to "cut you off" from Him. If you've Believed on Him, Jesus Christ as your one and only Savior Trusting Him alone (1st Cor 15:1-4) then by the Authority of God's Word you are a Saved man it doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks. God has the final say and His Will is for us to Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ ❤.
“I am crucified with Christ,” says Paul; I died in my Head; in Him I have died the death due to me for sin by virtue of my union with Him, and by His being cut off, not for Himself, but for me; in Him I died, in Him I suffered the law; “for if one died for all, then were all dead” when he died. And in this sense we were all dead together; the Head and all the members in Him. But there is a voice in the promise: “Thy dead men shall live,” saith God. “With my dead body shall they arise,” saith the Saviour. (Isaiah 26:19) And in our Head we all arose. Ye are risen with Christ; “God hath quickened you together with him, having forgiven all your trespasses;” (Colossians 2:13) His blood has purged your sins; His resurrection is a pledge of ours, and eternal life is in Him for all His members. To let us know this, the law that cast, condemned, and cursed to death the covenant Head, who was made sin for us, that law comes to us, sin revives, and we die; which is a planting us together in the likeness of His death: the Spirit directs the eye of faith to the death and atonement of Christ, and quickens us by His influence; and we rise under the operation of the Spirit of God, and are planted together in the likeness of his resurrection. Now we live no more in the old way; we are dead, buried, and risen with Christ. To the lust of men, to the lust of the flesh, to the will of men, to sin, and to the law, we live no more.
Hello Jesse, your channel has been and always will be a blessing for the body of Christ. ¿Do you have an explanation about the meaning of "cut off" from Romans 11:22? I often see Arminians use this verse to sustain the possibility of "loss of salvation". Thanks
Revelation 16 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the *_spirits of devils,_* working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to *the battle of that great day of God Almighty.*
Having your sins forgiven and absolved through the Sacrament of Penance/Reconciliation is the only way to be at peace with yourself.by knowing Christ has truly forgiven you. Without this sacrament, you are in a dead zone of uncertainty.

That’s why it’s important to walk in the mind of Christ where no evil thoughts are and can enter in
The title of the video is exactly what I'm dealing with.
Very appropriate video for me. God almighty knew I needed the message of this video today. Thank you lord.

Bibleline has been a life line for me. ty please keep keeping on! With love
I think we all struggle with our thoughts. They are so hard to get a handle on because they seem to just pop up.
I have these intrusive thoughts where I think, what if I am not saved.
And I always come to the conclusion that I am saved only by believing on His Name. That, by and through Him am I saved.
