The Truth About Binding and Loosing: HeavenWord 7 - 0291

[@semaj123js]

Jesus said no one can enter a strongman's house to take his goods, unless he first bind the strongman (controlling factor, or spirit). Another account is when Jesus healed the woman who had a spirit of infirmity, Jesus said "Woman you are loosed from your infirmity, and she got better. What this is saying here is that you can't loose the woman unless u first bind (tie up, or restrain) the infirmity that had her bound, then you will (set free) or loose the woman.

Thank you for this! This man clearly don't have have a clue about "Spiritual Warfare!" I pray for the day when God's people will test every Spirit and see if it be from God. This guy is clearly in a "Spirit of Error!" We have to be careful about what we allow ourselves to hear. The Holy Spirit let's us know in our Spirit when someone is teaching a false doctrine. When you feel that check in ur Spirit you know it's not right. So don't just sit there and keep listening! The devil is very crafty. He will speak 99% of truth about God's Word, and include 1% false teachings. I didn't even bother listening to the rest of what he has to say. Please my Sisters, and Brothers in Christ, allow the Holy Spirit to teach you all truths, not Man.

Very interesting simaj I wished you would continue in how this relates To what David just taught in other words close it I'm a salesman lol close it finish the thought make the connection clearer I like where you're going

[@wanesweb]

@@trishahunter5 Tricia you actually even admitted you did not finish listening. The man starts out by making sure you look at the context of the scripture. There's no better way to study the word. You taught us nothing you shared no truth with us. If you're going to contradict a man who studies and shares the truth. Why not give what you consider the truth. Study to show thyself approved rightly dividing the word of truth. I'm sorry to say this but you actually make yourself look foolish by what you said. What you said sounds good and spiritual but it had no truth in it. It was just a misled stab at a very good explanation of a scripture that confuses people. I pray that the spirit guide you in all truth and wisdom. For a few are saved Christ is in you and you are in Christ You're seated in heavenly places. You are blessed with all spiritual blessings. Humble yourself look for the truth that God gives it Don't hang on what you think you know. A person who studies and seeks the truth in God's word who lets go of what they thought they knew and grabs on to what God renews in their heart they will grow. And as I can easily admit I've been with many many many times thinking I knew but you can only grow when you get your pride out of the way and open your heart to the truth. The book of Matthew is all about Jesus trying to save Israel and is not written to the gentile it is not written to you. It is for you to learn what israel is about to go through and how if they count on Christ and endure it to the end then they will be saved. This is the context of Matthew 16 through 18 it's really the context of all of Matthew. He's talking to Jews and his apostles. He's preparing them they're about to go through the tribulation and then Jesus will return and they will rule and reign with him the 12 apostles will sit on throne in the millennial reign of Christ. Of course it did not happen. Because Israel is a nation did not have faith. Those who believed are called the little flock. They will see the kingdom the ruling reign of Christ. And they will be priests in the kingdom on this earth and they will be a light to the gentile. There is a lot that will still be done but eventually the Jews will kill Steven and then God will take Paul and commission to him The gospel of the dispensation of grace. The revelation of the mystery. Which in part is the body of Christ. Those who believe today whether they be Jew or gentile or I should say since Paul started teaching. Are saved by grace through faith not of their own doing but a gift from God not by works though any man should boast. Now you are a new creature in the body of Christ. Now Christ is in you and you are in Christ You are seated in heavenly places You are blessed with all spiritual blessings. Study to show thyself approved. Rightly dividing the word of truth. When you learn to put things into context to ask why when how who the Bible will open up to you a new life it will fill your spirit with truth and knowledge and peace. I will stop now

Exactly you can’t spoil his goods except you first bind it’s spiritual

[@suzannegriffiths4795]

@@wanesweb the kingdom of God is not a matter of intellect. If you require to be 'sold' on every idea, based merely on persuasiveness, you do not love the truth. This is dangerous because God said that if you wouldn't love the truth, He would give you over to the lie. He holds you responsible for what you choose to believe, and says there will be many false teachers. You need to leave your own broken way, turn to God, and trust Him to lead you in truth and love. Otherwise, you are just playing mind games.

[@IvyMorecare]

Denying the indispensable weapons of binding and loosing, it's like fighting in war without weapons equipment. It was the authority behind the keys of Elijah and Elias to bind and loose the clouds. Even David was victorious (2 Samuel 5) through this method. See more Mark 3:27, Isaiha 61:1 and Luke 4:18. We can learn from these men of faith that the prayer of faith is accompanied by action and declaration. The Sword of Truth is required for the locking and loosing, binding and loosing and shutting and opening. It's called effective prayers and spiritual warfare.

[@Phil-zk8zu]

I disagree with this. Luke 10:19..Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all power of the enemy: and nothing by any means shall hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, for your names are written in heaven. Would the Lord not give his children power of the devil's attacks?? Are we blind to the fact that the true believer is challenged spiritually by demons??? I personally can verify this by my own experience in which I have pleaded the blood of Jesus over something demonic. He has given us victory over all demons and spirits because he knew the devil will come to destroy his children. Ever had an evil thought pop in your head out of nowhere?? Where do you think it came from?? Ever had a crazy circumstance that led you away from the Lord??? If we are ignorant against the devil's devices we will never grow strong in the Lord. Nevertheless, we should never claim anything of our own power but only by the Lord Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters read the Bible, don't be afraid. Greater is he that is within you than he that is in the world.

[@emf49]

I have always felt uncomfortable with the way this phrase has been used in prayer. I recently did a bit more research and found, that according to the Hebrew scholars 'loosing' means 'pernitting' while 'binding' means 'prohibiting'. This lines up perfectly with your interpretation here. However, there are other examples in scripture where Jesus commanded demons to 'come out' (wouldn't that be loosing or releasing) people? He also talked about 'binding' the strong man before plundering his house. As in any war, I suppose we must use different weapons and strategies at different times. I like your explanation but I still have a lot of questions.

Amy B Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 9:1 "Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases." Luke 10:17 "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name." Matthew 17:19 - 21 "19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Acts 16:18 "And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour." Sad to see that people like this man are deceiving so many & fostering a powerless church without authority.

[@elijah5791]

+Kimberly Johnson Why don't you try and deal with the immediate context of the passage? Everyone of the passages you just quoted were spoken directly to the disciples who were being charged with establishing Christ's church on the earth. That's first. Second, the passage in question in this video, in context, as the man says, has nothing to do with spiritual warfare. Whether you like it or not, and regardless of what you've been taught, this passage is not in anyway speaking of binding and loosing demons or angels. The truth is that the phrase "bind and loose" has a more accurate meaning today in the words "forbid and permit." It doesn't mean that we can literally command angels to grab demons and tie them up with heavenly ropes. This passage is describing an authority and responsibility that Christ was giving to the Church leaders to determine what would be forbidden and permitted within her ranks. Christ was entrusting them with this responsibility, and saying He would back their decisions in Heaven. This doesn't make the Church powerless at all. What it does do is give us the correct reading of this text so we don't end up in doctrinal error, thinking we have some mystical powers that God never granted to us, and which could actually harm us if we try to exercise. I had a friend who I graduated bible school with (a Charismatic Bible School), where we were roommates, who was diagnosed with cancer about five years ago. He was taught to exercise his spiritual authority as a son of God, to claim his covenant provision of healing, to stand on the authority of God's word and speak to his mountain, to bind the forces arrayed against him that had laid cancer on him, etc., etc., etc. My friend faithfully practiced all this. His every confession from the day he was diagnosed until the very end was faith in God's word. He wrote down every scripture pertaining to healing, he ate healthy foods, he went to healing services and had everyone lay hands on him, he prayed without ceasing, and he died an agonizing and painful death just like all those ungodly, unbelievers who aren't in covenant with God, but he never once doubted. Now, this was traumatic to a person like me, taught this shouldn't happen. I searched for answers and was tempted to stumble. What I realized was not that God was a fiction, but that I had been taught false doctrine that was utterly foreign and alien to early Christians, and is very novel in Church history. Charismatic doctrine insists that they are walking like the early church did in the book of Acts. This is false. They are actually nothing like the early church, and are riddled with charlatans and snake oil peddlers, many of whom are sincere and earnest believers in Christ, but who are seriously mistaken and misguided theologically. This isn't about making the Church powerless; rather, it's about not believing false doctrine, and rightly dividing the word so we aren't misled by fools.

[@kimberlyjohnson2795]

elijah5791 Mt 18:18 - 20 '18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.' These verses actually talk about our spiritual authority through prayer. The angels are called 'ministering' spirits. A minister according to the Biblical definition actually 'serves' those he ministers to. So, yeah, we have a lot more authority than we believe nor are we being taught the type of authority that Jesus taught. I am very sorry to hear that you lost your friend. It is heart wrenching and trying. One of the greatest deliverance workers of our time: Gene Moody who saw countless healings from diseases and deliverances also lost his daughter to cancer even though they prayed for her till the end. Paul whom God used to heal countless others had a thorn in the flesh himself which God wouldn't remove. So we all must acknowledge that ultimately God is Sovereign and doesn't always do things the way we believe they should be done. However, sometimes healings don't occur because the person 1st needs to go through deliverance in order to remove the demonic spirit's legal right to be there and inflict the disease. Jesus himself sometimes 1st delivered the person and afterward healed them.

[@elijah5791]

+Kimberly Johnson First, thank you for the kind words regarding my friend. I appreciate the sentiment. Please understand, though, that I do not appeal to that as a way to contradict God's word. My appeal is based on God's word, first and foremost. Now, lets just look at a part of this passage quickly, so I can show you something... "Whatsoever ye shall bind on EARTH [...] whatsoever ye shall loose on EARTH..." Even if a person were to accept the prevailing charismatic interpretation of this passage, as you have done, we would have to honestly admit that the "binding and loosing" it is speaking of is restricted to EARTH. We have NO AUTHORITY from this text in heaven. Now, if you listen to most charismatic teachers expound on this passage, it gives us authority over demonic principalities and powers. But, where are those located? "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES." - Eph. 6:12 So, the demonic forces are not on earth, but in the heavens. We have no authority IN THE HEAVENS. I think that it's also very telling that we don't see "binding and loosing" (as it is articulated by most charismatic teachers) practiced by the early church--anywhere EVER. Think about that. We have reams and reams of writings from early christians, we have historical and archaeological data, we even have diaries and other personal records, and NOTHING about binding and loosing demons. In fact, we have evidence to the contrary. I submit this to you for your consideration, and would suggest that the reason is simple--they weren't taught this by the apostles. Kimberly, if you actually look into the historical understanding of this passage from the earliest believers, it was that the disciples (later apostles) were given an authority similar to the jewish priests, religious leaders, and prophets. These men also had the power to "bind and loose" things on earth. You see, the hebrew expression translated as "bind and loose" was actually not used for the first time when Christ spoke it to the apostles; in fact, this expression was in the common parlance of the day, and it had a very specific meaning. It was a legal expression. The leaders had the authority (believed to be backed by heaven) to "bind and loose," which is better translated into English today as "forbid and permit," various things related to everyday life. For example, they could "bind and loose" parcels of land for agricultural use, so that they a person could or could not farm it for a period of time. They could "bind and loose" various practices, such as eating grain on the Sabbath (Matthew 12.) Now, if you just take that knowledge and realize then what the disciples were hearing when Jesus said this to them, it wasn't "You are going to have the authority to bind and loose jobs, money, principalities and powers, healing, etc." NO! He was saying something more like, "I am giving you authority like the religious leaders, the Pharisees and Sadduccess, the Priests and Prophets, have--I am giving you the power to 'forbid and permit' things on earth, as it pertains to the church." That's it, Kimberly. That's the authority Christ gave the disciples. He was establishing them as the leaders of the church he was inaugurating. He was giving them the authority to decide what was going to be "forbidden and permitted" within this institution. It's that simple, and nothing more. And, here's the thing, THIS interpretation is borne out by scripture and history. We see it in operation in Acts 15-- "So, we all AGREED [...] It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to BURDEN you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to ABSTAIN (bound) from [...]" - Acts 15:25-29 Here is a long excerpt (sorry) from the Jewish Encyclopedia on this expression and how it was understood in first century Palestine: "Rabbinical term for "forbidding and permitting." The expression "asar" (to bind herself by a bond) is used in the Bible (Num. xxx. 3 et seq.) for a vow which prevents one from using a thing. It implies binding an object by a powerful spell in order to prevent its use (see Targ. to Ps. lviii. 6; Shab. 81b, for "magic spell"). The corresponding Aramean "shera" and Hebrew "hittir" (for loosing the prohibitive spell) have no parallel in the Bible. "The power of binding and loosing was always claimed by the Pharisees. Under Queen Alexandra, the Pharisees, says Josephus ("B J." i, 5, § 2), "became the administrators of all public affairs so as to be empowered to banish and readmit whom they pleased, as well as to loose and to bind." This does not mean that, as the learned men, they merely decided what, according to the Law, was forbidden or allowed, but that they possessed and exercised the power of tying or untying a thing by the spell of their divine authority, just as they could, by the power vested in them, pronounce and revoke an anathema upon a person. The various schools had the power "to bind and to loose"; that is, to forbid and to permit (Ḥag. 3b); and they could bind any day by declaring it a fast-day (Meg. Ta'an. xxii.; Ta'an. 12a; Yer. Ned. i. 36c, d). This power and authority, vested in the rabbinical body of each age or in the Sanhedrin (see Authority), received its ratification and final sanction from the celestial court of justice (Sifra, Emor, ix.; Mak. 23b). "In the New Testament. In this sense Jesus, when appointing his disciples to be his successors, used the familiar formula (Matt. xvi. 19, xviii. 18). By these words he virtually invested them with the same authority as that which he found belonging to the scribes and Pharisees who "bind heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but will not move them with one of their fingers"; that is, "loose them," as they have the power to do (Matt. xxiii. 2-4). In the same sense, in the second epistle of Clement to James II. ("Clementine Homilies," Introduction), Peter is represented as having appointed Clement as his successor, saying: "I communicate to him the power of binding and loosing so that, with respect to everything which he shall ordain in the earth, it shall be decreed in the heavens; for he shall bind what ought to be bound and loose what ought to be loosed as knowing the rule of the church." Quite different from this Judaic and ancient view of the apostolic power of binding and loosing is the one expressed in John xx. 23, where Jesus is represented as having said to his disciples after they had received the Holy Spirit: "Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained." It is this view which, adopted by Tertullian and all the church fathers, invested the head of the Christian Church with the power to forgive sins, the "clavis ordinis," "the key-power of the Church.'"

How do we do what God through Isaiah 58, Psalm 149 and Jesus did to the bent-backed woman? By speaking binding/loosing terminology into the heavens? I'd really like to know the Biblical Truth about this. Because I see scriptural evidence for both sides of this. I don't see Paul praying like some evangelicals do. I have heard lots of these binding and loosing type prayers for many years now, but I see the OPPOSITE of what was supposedly 'bound' or 'loosed'. Society is worse. Evil flourishes. Christians falling away. In fact, what Jesus said I'd see in Matthew 24 and 25. Where are these big awakenings? Where are the big revivals? What are the current stats of persecuted Christians in the world today? I don't want to pour cold water on Biblical Truth that empowers Christians - but I do want pure truth. I volunteer with Teen Challenge and it takes more than locking oneself in a room and 'binding and loosing'. It takes Love time and energy AS WELL as authoritative prayer (faith), to see the miracles of Isaiah 58, 61, etc. What does Jude say about dreamers railing at celestial beings? If the spirit of say 'gambling' over my city Adelaide has been 'bound', what evidence would I expect to see in the coming days, months, years? Unbeliever hearing that prayer say 10 years ago would conclude that they were in the midst of naive nutcases. Sorry.

Finally someone that 'gets it'. This is all about church discipline. And it's not the only verses that talk about it. It also says when they put them out of the body, it puts them out there in the devil's territory till they repent. Also in the body of Christ if new people see the older members live a life of sin, it makes them think you can just do what ever you want. Other place it talks about how we are supposed to make judgement calls within the body. It says don't go to court out of the body. Guess what this means ? It debunks the fake "don't judge me" movement. We are told to keep each other in check. Instead you have preachers getting filthy rich from the false doctrine. You cannot tell the difference between the world and the church. The great falling away.

Anyone care to explain what was meant here? *The Seventy Return with Joy* 17 Then the [e]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but [f]rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

You clearly do not understand the spiritual realm which you’re dealing with daily. I don’t believe the keys to the kingdom of heaven will be given for kicking somebody out of the church.

[@trishahunter5]

I agree! Did the Lord not say, "Whatsoever?!" That clearly means somethings more than what this guy is teaching. Once he said binding and loosening has nothing to do with "demons" I didn't even bother to listen to the rest. He is in a complete Spirit of Error! Listen my Sisters and Brothers in Christ, be very careful about what you allow your ear-gate to hear and your eye-gate to see. The Holy Spirit will give you a check in your Spirit when something is not right. Don't sit there and finish listening to false teachings when the Holy Spirit has clearly let you know something isn't right. This is very serious. Binding and loosening is extremely important to Spiritual Warfare when it comes to deliverance. Amen

None of us are 100% followers. We're all imperfect. That's why we bind and loose in Jesus' name, by His authority. We are righteous in Him because He died for us.

PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY AS IF YOUR ETERNAL “LIFE” DEPENDED ON IT In the Book of Hebrews Chapter 10 in context the author was talking to “baptized” Christians (Hebrews 10:22) telling them to not be “neglecting to meet together” in “the Church” - being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Why “the Church”??? ***Hebrews **10:26**-29 “For IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY after receiving knowledge of the truth, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT, AND A FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES………..HOW MUCH MORE PUNISHMENT DO YOU THINK WILL BE DESERVED BY THE MAN WHO HAS SPURNED THE SON OF GOD, AND PROFANED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE HAS SANCTIFIED, AND OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE”.*** What does Sacred Scriptures clearly say “IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY” or willfully break any of the commandments whether the old (10 Commandments) or NEW (Laws of LOVE or refusing to LOVE as Christ commands per John 13:34)??? If “THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT”, then how does one obtain reconciliation with GOD again??? We must examine the old covenant to fully understand the NEW COVENANT. In Leviticus 5:5-6 and Numbers 5:5-9 we can understand what an old covenant Jew had to do to receive GOD's forgiveness. Additionally, GOD in the Books of Leviticus and Numbers any time personal “sin” is mentioned you will read over and over again “THUS THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR A MAN’S SINS AND IT WILL BE FORGIVEN” (Lev 4:20, 4:26, 4:31,4:35, 5:6, 5:10, 5:13, 5:16, 5:18, 6:7, 7:7, 12:8, 14:18, 14:19, 14:20, 14:29, 14:31, 15:15, 15:30, 16:32, 16:33, 19:22 Num. 6:11,15:25, and 15:28). In the old covenant, GOD uses ordained “men”, the Leviticus Priesthood, to administer His forgiveness. Now, does GOD keep His WORD and covenant promises??? GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood per His covenant in Numbers 25:12-13 and Malachi 2:4-7 and has WORDS of “forever” in Exodus 29:7-9, 40:15, and 1 Chronicles 23:13. Then, GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood in Jeremiah 33:14-22 NEW COVENANT PROPHECY. Additionally, in context of “gathering the nations” in Isaiah 66:18 GOD states in Isaiah 66:21 “some of them also I will take for priests” meaning no longer based on Levi tribal lineage in the NEW COVENANT. In John Chapter 13, we see Jesus Christ fulfilling His Father’s Levi Covenant promise and Malachi 3:3 prophecy, when He sits down in the upper room “purifying” the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD with a “washing”. This “washing” was a “forever” priestly liturgical GOD command in Exodus 30:21 in order to perform any altar work or sacrifice. What “same” power does the Son of GOD give to His ONE and ONLY established Church or “the Church” per Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and specifically explained to the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD by Jesus in John 20:21-23??? In 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 St. Paul describes what Jesus Christ did was He “GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION” and concluded “SO WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST”. An “ambassador” wields what kind of power as an “official representative” of Christ or more specifically explained in “the Church” as “persona Christi”??? Please come to your real home and be “reconciled” to “the Church” HIS ONE BODY (Ephesians 4:4-6). What did Jesus Christ create, pray for in John 17:21-23 and die for??? If you really LOVE Jesus Christ, then you will respond to His prayer and join the “ONENESS” that He created. The “Lamb of GOD” wants to unite with you in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) in His ONE and ONLY established Church, so we all can be “perfectly ONE”. May GOD richly bless you on your journey.

[@Johnwillbegone]

Awsome.. thank you so much for devastating my faith. Just learning about binding and loosing doing all I can to fight these demons of the flesh. Just getting ready to teach this to my kids and B A M I click on your video. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart from one who is about to give up.

[@emf49]

John Don't give up brother. You can call upon the God of Heaven to send His warring angels to do battle for you and your loved ones. You can claim the Power of the Cross, the Power of the Blood of Jesus and the Power of His Glorious Name to destroy the forces of wickedness assailing you. You can also "submit yourself therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee." James 4:7. I always felt weird using the "loosing and binding" phrase because I didn't really know what it meant, but it hasn't stopped me from praying. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to pray in every situation. That is much more preferable than using 'formulaic' terms. Just my opinion of course and I could be wrong about this phrase. Bottom line though, it isn't the words we use that tear down strongholds but the Power of Jesus BEHIND the words!! Blessings and hope to you and your little ones!!

[@iersejounge]

Maybe..... he's totally wrong

[@qwertyqwerty3133]

Don't take everything you see on YT as confirmation one way or the other, go to God in prayer on things. Could be a distraction to make you take wrong advise. Research it biblically and discern for yourself, with the Holy Spirits guidance.

[@wanesweb]

Hey John God bless you brother. Please read the reply that I did on this video that way I don't have to say those things all over again. You're dealing with children and that can be very difficult. The giving up part there's much strength that you can get from the word. You must realize though God deals with us differently than he did with the Jews. We are in the dispensation of grace. What I recommend you do is to read Ephesians there's six chapters in Ephesians. Read it and claim it because it was written for you the apostle Paul is your apostle. We are under a different gospel than the Jews they were being taught the kingdom gospel. You are being taught the gospel of Christ. The gospel of the dispensation of grace. You are in the body of Christ right now. Read Ephesians this is who you are in Christ You will draw much power from understanding who you are in Christ. You will be in his rest You will know that you never have to give up because Christ is in you and you are blessed with all spiritual blessings. And more keyword is spiritual. You reap what you sow. If you sow to the spirit you will reap spiritual things. If you sow to the flesh if you will reap carnal things. Staying in the word sharing the word seeking knowledge in the word is sewing to the spirit walking in the light is sewing to the spirit. There is so much more to share on who you are in Christ but you have to be in the right part of the Bible to understand who you are in Christ. When you know who you are in Christ you will never feel like giving up again. Have a blessed day if you ever want to join a study with me I would be glad to have you if you ever want to talk I would be glad to talk. At this point I know nothing about what this man David teaches or what he believes. But I do know that his explanation of this verse is very very accurate. The people who are speaking against him are not giving any alternative they're just taking stabs without backing up their rhetoric

[@wanesweb]

I think I want to make a response to John's comment on the demons of the flesh. It makes me think of the time when Paul is asking God to remove the thorn from his body. I've heard people twist this scripture around to ridiculous things. But I really think what Paul is complaining about is the flesh not demons we have power over all this he's complaining about the flesh the sin that we can't help but to do the words that fly from our tongue the thoughts that go through our mind. I imagine Paul must have faced many ill feelings they tried to kill him all the time he was trying to save his kingsman the Jews and it was preaching a new gospel to the Jews and the gentiles he was hated and if you're hated imagine the feelings you could have and the thoughts you could have I believe this is the sin the fleshly desires or reactions that Paul is referring to when he asked God three times to remove the thorn from his side. And God's response was. My grace is sufficient for you. Wow this is a very powerful statement we all have to deal with the flesh remember you reap what you sow. So to the spirit and you will reap spiritual rewards so to the flesh and you will reap carnal. When Jesus told Paul that my grace is sufficient for you. Remember the grace is the gift the grace is undeserved the grace is the forgiveness You're forgiven. A believer will hate sin he does not want to sin but it will happen. And I speak for myself I cannot speak for you. When I slip up I say oh Lord please take this away from me I don't want to be this person. And it happens I am sowing to the spirit. I am not walking around trying to be perfect I am walking around with Christ in my heart and trying to share the truth everywhere I go every conversation I have Christ finds his way into it. That's just who I've become I am in no way perfect and I am not walking around seeking to be perfect I am walking around with Christ in my mind and in my heart when this happens you just become a different creature That's how God words it You're a new creature You're in the body of Christ. So God's grace was sufficient for Paul. It is also sufficient for you. You are not possessed by demons and demons do not control you. Ephesians Philippians these letters are written to you these letters are easy to understand because they are for you they are for your doctrine they will give you peace. Corinthians Romans 13 letters from Paul to you. But in Ephesians alone you will know everything you need to know to know who you are in Christ and that you are saved and that you have a power and unbelievable power in Christ to walk in the light to grow and knowledge and understanding

God said many things straight up as did Jesus that are always changed by folks like this. umm well God really meant to say was this...! come on man he made everything. Do you think not he could put in his word what he really meant.... in fact Bible says cursed the man that adds to or changes any word of God. This is also why few find the truth and the narrow the road to heaven. sadly not alot of ppl are going to heaven.

[@jasondenney5298]

this is part of the problem God and Jesus are not cupcakes.. and that's why he is willing to put ppl who in hell forever. does that sound like a cupcake God to you. ? so if he says throw them out of the church then that's what he meant be careful making others fall out of Grace by trying to change God's word.

A month before at a church in Bixby, Ok.

What does "whatsoever" mean? This is not the only occasion Jesus gave the disciples this promise. Jesus asked us to pray that Gods will be done on earh as it is in heaven. The Sovereign will of God is revealed in His word, in Christ Jesus. Everyone, who is a new creature in Christ, is a partaker of the vicory over the prince of the power of the air that the world is lying in his lap. There is only one born again family in heaven and earth in Christ Jesus. The Greek word aiteo,translated as "ask" in 71 accasions in the new testament should be translated as demand. Christians should, in prayer, demand that ever situation conform to all the promises, promised in Gods word. 2Peter 1:3,which Jesus purchase for the Church on the cross. Beware of the doctrine of demons that would steal a believers power, promised by Jesus before the he left for heaven. The words of Jesus shall not pass away, even if heaven and earth pass away. Satanic unbelief doctrines has robbed millions, of the power of the Holy Spirit. Our enemy, satan has succeeded in removing the power of God to evangelize all the world by robbing the ability to demonstrate Gods power of love in healing and deliverance to the world.

Oh ooh! And another 1. (Ahem) Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. The bibles quite interesting because when Jesus spoke to some Jews He said they weren't really Jewish or when He was talking with people like Do you remember The Roman man. And He needed Help and Jesus in His kindness because He was going to go feed the Jews first, isralites (quick thought to self, hey whats the difference between a jew and a isralite?) Anyway And Jesus spoke saying Truly, (i think He likes this Word) Truly I say I have not found as much faith in all of Israel. And they weren't Jewish. Isn't He Amazing!!! Like He can just make anything new. Do you like singing? Or play piano? Or writing? Maybe could make Him a new song. Call it umm...Truly Maybe? Anyway bless you really appreciate the video and nice to meet you. Keep growing in Christ praying for you please pray for me too. Accommodation, other believing Jesus friends, a job, finances, a real family, yeah pretty much everything I think right now, oh and to get driving I think that would be great. Bicycles are healthy but not as a main means of transport. And it's not the most attractive means of transport if you wanted to take a lady out for a meal. Seriously though spiritually for wisdom, discernment, vision, grace, courage, love and strength and to make Father God proud. Sure would be nice to accomplish something, thought maybe writing a book might be good get a testimony out and might He a way to generate some finance. I don't really know how to make tents and even if i did everyone else seems to of made one that you can pop in and buy in a shop. I have basic skills. So maybe let's pray for ability to. Anyway let's pray for Jesus Joy and may His will be done and may we be pleasing to Him and bring Him Joy for breakfast, love for lunch, with lots of peace for pudding and faith for afternoon tea and lots of hope for supper to have before tomorrow God bless Jesus is Alive!!! ⛪️💕🏃‍♂️💨🌍
