  • What do the Jezebel spirit and Target have in common? The same demonic spirit that led Jezebel to have an innocent man killed in 1 Kings 21 is working in our day in places like transgender designers selling children's clothing at Target. Ultimately, the good news for the believer is that God's sovereign justice always reigns supreme over fleeting, temporary attempts at social justice.

I really hope that Mark Driscoll's ministry is received and a blessing to the whole body of Christ in his later years. There aren't many preachers around like this: Bold, biblical, speaking the truth accurately and with passion , and a phenomenal knowledge of the scriptures. Well done sir.

    So if demons introduce people. Then how does one discern a demon vs God or the holy spirit introducing people with biblical examples? What about when someone says you seem or look familiar? Next question how does God introduce the right spouse then that is not an ahab or jezebel spirit?

    Been listening to your series and my husband I plan to read the book.
    But I have some questions you mentioned syncretism.
    Isn’t the celebration of Christmas and Easter also syncretism? Easter stems from the worship of Ishtar and why bunnies and eggs are incorporated into the celebration which should be about the Jesus our Passover Lamb who is our Bread of Life and the Resurrection because He is the first fruit raised from the dead.
    Secondly, Christmas celebration evolved from Sol invictus/Saturnalia and was established by Constantine and pope Julius about 336 years after Christ
    Jer 10:1-4. Also Christmas was not a holiday in early America. From 1659 to 1681 it was actually illegal to celebrate the pagan Christmas celebration.
    Isn’t the same also true of Keep the Sabbath holy vs our current Sunday Worship. From the beginning God commanded to keep the Sabbath Holy.?

    l 100% disagree with the comment you made about, 'if a 40 year old lives with his parents, he's an Ahab':
    there could be many reasons as to why
    an adult child is living at home,
    for example:
    it could be that the parents are handicapped, and can't do certain things for themselves.
    Our world doesn't think it's important
    to obey God's command of
    'Honor your parents'

I’m not sure of the “lingo”, however, it was a man trying to be a woman. My baby grandchildren were in this bathroom too! She’s little but also protects her children and voted for TRUMP. Also, I feel like I’m watching these videos out of order, please if someone can guide me through the order, I would appreciate it greatly! ❤

The devil is deceitful, and a liar, so he even lies to those who join his church.

    As much as I liked most of the sermon, How can a pastor JUDGE a man or woman as worthless without knowing their past history first????? I know millions of men who were taken to the cleaners through divorce court (80% of divorces are initiated by women) that literally put men in poverty, homeless, living with parents at age 40 or dead by suicide. I worked with children for 17 years and you would not believe the amount of abuse that I witnessed the children going through from their parents. You would have to be completely ignorant to not see what is happening to both genders in this world, from pharmaceutical drugs, abuse, rape, false rape allegations, divorce, parental alienation, contaminating our food with endless supplies of soy and other chemicals, children being used as you know what on certain islands and across the world as well as the millions of children in foster homes, with some being abusive. How many millions of people are brought up in the wrong religion with false doctrines, teachers or pastors???? Yeah let’s not open that ugly can of worms. We are not at war with the flesh. Ephesians 6:12. Even Jesus Christ had to cast out countless demons. Belittling anyone does not help and goes against Jesus Christ.

    “When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). The first time Satan appears in the Bible in Genesis 3, the first words on his lips are suspicious of the truth (“Did God say, You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?”). And the second words on his lips were a subtle falsehood (“You will not die”). John says that Satan “has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him” (John 8:44). We are dealing with the essence of falsehood and deception.

    OH MY GOODNESS! Your opening about Ahab and Jezebel sounds strikingly familiar. I must have read a story that was very similar our something it's hard to remember. OOOOH! For heavens sake WE'RE LIVING IT! 😊

    The bad guys are NOT winning. This guy does not know what is really going on. If he said their is an illusion of the bad guys winning, then he would be correct. Another pastor that is clueless. Amazing.

      He's certainly not clueless is he, he just gave a very insightful talk which exposed loads of truth at work behind world events. It's a matter of perspective. I agree with you and he probably does to he is just emphasising how things appear

    This is horrifying what has happened to our world. Truly, we are living in Sadam and Gamorah. God destroyed Sadam and Gamorah for their perversion!!!.

    Just love how you point out the parallels between Ahab/Jezebel and our political system today. It's so eerily similar. You really brought it to light beautifully. It also gives us hope that we are still on the winning side despite how it seems.
