Thank you for acknowledging those of us who are Christian public school teachers. We feel our classrooms are our mission field!

[@someguy9519]

Brett's love for God and His sheep is tangible. God bless him with more and more grace and love. Brett kinda sheds the love everywhere. I'm glad I stumbled onto this site a couple of years ago. I feel the same way about Gary Hamrick.

[@MLiving4Jesus]

Me too I love them both!

[@Brendas-tl8jy]

Brett you are a great teacher.

[@AtheyCreekHost]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@donedwards3811]

Great reminder that it's not the open door or window that let the big problems in. It's the cracks & holes left unpatched. The example of Jesus using the subtle approach to get to the root ,& solving/healing of the child. We are all Gods children .🙌❤

Hi Janelle, thanks for tuning in with us from Queensland Australia :)

[@sereniataylor112]

You are one of the few pastors that teach the truth about demons & spiritual warfare. Fathers are meant to be the head as GOD designed them to be but satan has deceived so many people (even the Christian) so it was great to hear you speak about this and to say that now more than ever do we need the Father to step it up by faith & with JESUS! Really enjoyed this teaching today. Thank you so much!

[@AtheyCreekHost]

Hello Serenia, we’re glad to hear this teaching spoke to your heart!

[@Brendas-tl8jy]

Please pray for my alcoholic son William.

[@AtheyCreekHost]

We are so sorry to hear this. You and your family are in our prayers. If you are interested, one of our pastors would love to pray with you. Feel free to call our Pastoral Care line at 971.250.1113.

Hello Bruce! We’re thankful to have you joining us online!

I watch every one of his services. He doesn’t mention it often.

[@danriley5274]

I totally missed that about the Genesis 6 demons special holding place

[@genitagilchrist1864]

YES AND AMEN!!!

[@christiroseify]

On 2 different occasions I have seen the physical manifestation of a demon come over people... Its eye opening to say the least...

[@annettecastellanosguillen9491]

I also, have seen a demon in my former partner, then I became fully committed to my Lord and have changed alot of things even fornication with him, I Am taught Ed and mentally abused verbally daily, I thank the Lord daily for his love and mercy

[@christiroseify]

@@annettecastellanosguillen9491 It reminds me of the movie, "The Firm" Tom Cruise is a young up and coming lawyer courted by a big fancy law firm. His wife is devout Christian and when she begins to interact with the other wives she see the demons that control them... Its a really good movie... the demons torment her and Tom thinks she's going crazy.. But its creepy the way she sees the women's faces contort as the demon face appears... I don't recommend secular movies often but this one is spot on...

[@beowulf7992]

@@christiroseify Isn't the movie you're referencing actually called "The Devil's Advocate"? All Star cast: Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Al Pacino, Lena Heady, and Jeffrey Jones.

[@christiroseify]

@@beowulf7992 Nope... "The Firm".. Devils Advocate was Al Pachino and Keauna Reeves..

[@beowulf7992]

@@christiroseify Check again...pretty sure the film you're referring to is not The Firm.

Mark 8 tells us that Jesus and His disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. Then in Mark 9, Jesus cast the demon out of the man’s son. This demon the disciples could not cast out. The demon had been in the man’s son “of a child”. The primary religion of this area was the worship of the pagan god named Pan. We get the word “panic” from this frightful god, and it’s no wonder why! Pan had a thirst for carnal pleasure. Ever wonder why Disney’s Peter Pan plays a flute?

[@Stoltzy64]

Hi Brett. My husband & I watch you on You Tube a LOT. We live in PA, but I would LOVE to become a member of your church. Would I be able to do that?

[@AtheyCreekHost]

Hello! We don't have church memberships, but there are opportunities to plug into a local Athey Watch Party. You can find more information here..atheycreek.com/connect/watch-parties

[@lornabartlett2744]

Yes ahmein

[@des711]

The commercials in the middle of the sermon is very distracting to the sermon. Especially with the commercials having nothing to do with walking a Christian life.

[@tessag.1079]

They won't know true oppression until they wake up in hell....so sad.

[@inAllllllSeriousness]

I'm not a huge fan of how you didn't finish the verse about John the Baptist being the greatest born to women and not performing miracles. I like a lot of other things though!

[@adamjones4989]

ROFL. I'm imagining what a class with a Satanic Sexuality's teacher from.... MINNESOTA would sound like. It sounds like a bit from a Mel Brooks movie. "Oh yah. Started with the sexuality's degree first and I got into the Satanism. They work well together don'tcha know?" Sigh. I pray that our reality, will one day be returned to hyperbole and parody.

[@joshantonich2930]

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF PASTORS TELLING PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL YET PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO SOLUTION TO DOING SO. I AM SO GUILT STRUCK AND DESPRESSED BECAUSE OF PASTORS, NOT THE WORLD (AS DIABOLICAL AS IT IS) HAS MADE ME FEEL LIKE A FAILURE BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE TIED AS A FATHER. PROVIDE A SOLUTION OR BE QUIET. DID JESUS EVER SAY DON'T DO THIS, BUT THAN NOT GIVE AN ANSWER ON WHAT TO DO??

[@Chonkasaurus]

If your a father it's your responsibility to lead your children. A pastors responsibility is to teach the word of God to the congregation and lead people to Christ. Don't be passive, search the Bible, pray, and see where God leads you. You'd be surprised how many opportunities there are aside from public school for providing your children with a solid Christ centered education. There are numerous remote Christian homeschooling opportunities and Christian homeschooling co-ops.

[@dougtwigg3285]

Well, it reads like you’re very stressed out. I don’t know what your school is doing but if there’s evidence that they are doing it you need to take your kid out of that school. Why would you need someone else to tell you what to do? Why don’t you pray to God and ask Jesus what to do Private schools are very expensive and I can understand if you cannot afford that and you are in a bad situation if they’re doing it at your school if you don’t have anyone to take care of your children if you took them out and left them at home and you had to work. There are gazillion reasons why people can’t do things and this is not the only kind of problems that people have, do you need to pray to Jesus for protection and guidance and I’ll pray for you God bless you

[@jnw729]

Pray for the resources. Look at every option available. Seek grants. Look into GED and community college opportunities. Are you in Oregon?

[@Mb2IseeU]

The alternatives are varied and numerous. But it is for you to research what is available in your area, and choose what’s best. An online pastor cannot speak to your specific solutions, as there are people who watch across the globe. The answer will be there for you, but God cannot do works in your life if you will not get up and move. So get up and move… God will be there and so will the answer you are seeking.

[@tpotts4]

Praying for you to make those hard choices for the good of your children. I have regrets about the choices I made that are affecting my daughter now. She’s immersed in this evil world and living for it instead of for Jesus and His kingdom. If you do one thing, make sure you instill the Truth of who Jesus is to them. If you instill it daily and truly believe it, they will see it and live it out. Pray about it. Talk to your kids and please don’t blame pastors for your guilt over not being able to figure out a way to lead your kids out of the evil. It’s not these pastors responsibility. It’s yours. Praying for you. I know how hard it is to be a parent. It’s the most important job you’ll ever have. Don’t let the guilt stop you! That’s the devil and his wiles. Know how much your children are loved by Jesus and focus on that! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! Get busy!🙏🏻
