“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

I feel like when I try to escape lust, I try and change everything by myself. Yesterday I played Christian music, cleaned the kitchen for my Parents, watched Christian preaching, Worked out, and none of that helped in the end. I really feel the need to just come to Jesus in prayer, instead of trying to clean up everything by myself.
I’ve done this. And after listening to Jerry flowers series fire fighter, I realized that movement and tasks doesn’t mean you are intimate with him. Prayer and vulnerability with him is a great way to really cut to the root of the issue, we have to trust God to lead us and get out his way
Beautiful thought bro, and it’s true. Jesus really is it. He cleans, not us.
Yes bro! He > I
Yes. Our strength is found in Jesus
Philippians 4:13
@@2ndTakeTaethis is my confirmation to watch it because it keeps popping up
I needed this. Self righteousness is scary. When you’re changing your life for the better (or so you think) a self righteous mindset can sneak up on you. It can deceive you into thinking you’re better and silently judging others without even realizing it, and all along you’ve changed on the outside but yet your heart is still empty.
I’m so convicted right now by this reality check
Same. This is HUGE for me. You can do it without even knowing. Doing a bible study with my mum and there’s this part about being critical coming from love, or critical where it’s not from love and how to tell the difference. And then, through God’s grace, you’ll learn and or become more aware just of how judgmental we are. It’s insane. God is GOOD! Loved this podcast, or video. First time listening and might continue. Just hard listening to couples because … maybe I’m negative but you see so many Christian couples breaking up. So sad
I 100% agree it’s very easy to fall into it!! I literally have to check myself and I have to pray about it too
Ya, vvery sad to see couple breakin apart. I have 1 relative who kept fight after e bb is born. But e couple tried to make it work by goin for travels abt 3 times in 2023.
But finally, in nov 2023 brought their little girl of 2.5 yrs to church and they managed to calm the kid down. And from there they also learn more abt the love and goodness of Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻👑✝️⚖🛡🎎🕊🕊🕊💕🦅🎊🎶
This recently happened to me with a man. He judged me and kept saying he wasn’t but he was. Broke my heart. It was the self righteousness that stuck out. I kept trying to force it but it was only going to destroy me at the end.
“Use your words to speak life and not death” wow 😮💨🙌🏽
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Philippians 2:3-4 NIV
Needed to be reminded of this verse. I keep walking from the mirror forgetting what I look like. Lord have mercy on me
@@dreamsaresharedhere_yeah same here, lets do our best
"You can't have reformation without relationship." New subscriber - thank you for this message.
yes I believe so. if I’m being wrong here, please you are free to correct or giving me suggestions. but in what I understand is that simple when you wanted change you need to change. let’s say I would like to lose weight because my knees are getting hurt so the doctor said I should try to exercise, eat more protein less carbs and fat try not be still and active yourself. it means you need to put your energy, attention to what will change for the better of your health. and God is the same he giving us the chance to know him and his grace to free from those bad spirits so we gotta come to him to have a relationship with him so that shows you are willing to step out of the zone you have been captivated by those evils or bad habits that you wanted to change. I am also struggling and trying to get better but for times to times by my own I couldn’t so come back to who can freely give you the authority to change your life. God bless you❤
So so good! After building a deeper relationship with Jesus, I was attacked by so many religious spirits, both physically & just spiritually, it kinda sent me into self-righteousness in trying to prove I belonged to Jesus. This podcast was a beautiful reminder to rest in the finished work of the cross, period & to encourage others to do the same!
Hey everyone we all need to repent to jesus before its too late.. i seen jesus 3 times last year an 4 times this year.. i think i have a calling on my life.. i have a dream every week or two of jesus, My first dream was me seeing the lion of judah through sunlight a week before my bday. And it was an outer body experience so i was able to look through the sunlight, less then a second the lion of judah was in front of me. I felt his presence it was soo peaceful words can't explain the feeling. i can't explain the feeling, jesus the only one who can explain it. the feeling is beyond our imagination.. but he was talking to my mind telling me to spread what i just experienced.
this has described my life in so many ways. before Christ a lot of times i'd be worse off after fasting, i'd stop lusting & watching porn for a while but then eventually the addiction would come back sometimes way worse than before. i also would think i was going to heaven because i wasn't "that bad" whatever that means. i'd compare myself to murderers & such, judging myself on my own scale instead of God's. i needed not just change of action, but a change of heart. finally God opened my eyes to see my sin, & to see Him. I hated my sin & i no longer wanted to be my own Lord because He showed me how empty it all was. the entire world lost it's appeal suddenly & i was no longer interested going about life the same way i had, it's hard to describe, but i've never been the same. i actually wanted Jesus & not just so He could do something for me. these days when self righteousness starts to creep into my life (and it does at times) this scripture comforts me:
“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs."
Matthew 5:3
i am poor, i have nothing to offer Him - not spiritually or physically, and He still died for me
Hello this video really touch me because I have the feeling that this is the sins that I'm dealing, pride, and I really ask God to help to put away thiis sin, this is why I write this please pray for me I'm sure that he will help me.✝
🤎🙏🏾
I feel like this is the first Christian podcast that felt like Jesus was there too and not just egos and people wanting to hear themselves speak but you could really feel the presence and spirit of God moving thank you both for being willing and giving God your yes!
Wow, this is so touching! Thank you so much. That’s definitely our heart behind sharing!
AMEN
I agree
Every time I escape lust it just comes back later. This is when I feel like I’m not guilty of any sin. That sense of pride I have because I have cleaned my house is the one that makes me think I am invincible. That’s when I fall and start to think that it’s okay to skip one devotion as long as I’m not sinning. It’s okay watch that video because I won’t react to it , 3 days later I find myself back to my sinful habits that make me suffer.
This This This. The timing of this is crazy. Thank u for sharing.
😮😮😮 wow this is soooo good and eye opening and convicting 😭😭 Thank You Jesus!!! God have mercy on me!!!
“Let God transform me in any way” ❤
Please pray for me to occupy my life my heart my time to Jesus and to overcome the addiction of lust and smoking those to really get me down and I’ll will always pray for y’all 😊
Hey friend , I feel like God has told me to pray for you . I’ll pray that we are both set free ❤
Praying for you both. Currently find myself falling into my vice (drinking) here n there. Pray for me plz
Praying for you all 🙏🏽 Please pray for me as well - for the same. To stay close to God, that he would remove the distractions or empty things from my life
I prayed for you brother ❤
Just finished praying for you my brother or sister.
I really sense the Holy Spirit through preaching
Wow guys, I came in search of a deeper understanding about this passage and I found this video, God answered my prayers. He revealed to me that self-righteousness was the occupant in my heart. Thank you so much for sharing and I related SO much to Lokelani’s answer to the question you guys asked us. God is so good and thank you guys for sharing and spreading the truth which is God’s word, Amen! 🙏🏻 ❤
I think this teaching answers the dilemma that true Christians can’t have demons
If we are in God’s Word, studying and seeing how they so disregarded Jesus in was that actually makes you stop, pause in utterly disgust. Then you reflect upon yourself and remember when you/I would do the same thing in a different way. It makes you try harder and want to do what you know is right and in accordance with His Word, His Instructions. We are His and He is ours. Hallelujah 🙏🏾
Yesssssssss!! The way He renews you even if they’re small THEY ARE BIGGGGGGG!!!
Great message! I understand that we need God’s grace, mercy and love. He has already paid the price and we need to acknowledge Him. It’s not by our works but by His grace! There’s a song that comes to mind, “Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord, come and quench this thirsting of soul, bread of heaven fill me till I want no more; fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.”
Blessings from the Philippines, Amen fam! 💕🇵🇭

Was blessed by this podcast in particular ,wow the works of the Holy Spirit,glory to God 🙌🙌🙌
🙌🏼 I am bouncing back in the mighty name of Jesus!
Wow.. last night at the young adults I go to during prayer we were asked to pray and tell the Lord to search us of things we need to repent from. When I asked I heard very clearly self righteousness :( I was like dang okay,(bare in mind yesterday was my 1 year mark of sobriety and I was like if I can make it a year I’m good and my parents were like you need to give glory to God cause you did nothing) the part when you guys talked about living a good life being free and not doing anything wrong but then being completely empty on the inside convicted me so hard! I have forgotten about who saved me and how I can even say “I’m one year sober”. Thank you for your words of wisdom, thank you for breaking down this word, and thank you for allowing the Lord to use you guys :)
Thank you thank you. I’ve always wondered why I felt like a mess and my faith wavered despite good habits like avoiding drugs, gossip, violence and focusing on school and family and nothing would change. I’ve been trying to prioritize my faith lately and I’ve seen and felt the change. I used to try to control everything by myself but now I surrender to him
we should not look to others to feel righteous. we must look towards God to be made righteous 🙏🏽
Very guilty of this. Thank you Amen Podcast for bringing this to light 🤍
If I’m being transparent, yes I have cleaned my life without seeing any true change. I stopped smoking, cussing, fornicating, I read my Bible a lot and even prayed, yet I slipped back into old ways. I didn’t truly change. I was wondering where I got it wrong but this video truly enlightened me. Thank you again.
I am sharing this in the hopes that the family I share it with won't think I'm being self-righteous! I just want to learn how to become closer to our Lord and I want to share good stuff like this!
There’s some really good points in here. For me the one that stood out was that the house was empty and that we need to put Jesus in it. We most definitely need to realize that if we clean out an area in our life we need to invite the Holy Spirit to come live in that space.
This podcast really helped me understand a lot … smh I really needed to hear this so much. Wow Thank God
So true! Thank you!
O lord do what u know is best for me.i am tired ,to try to change my self 🙏🙏 i feel so down to help myself.encourage me .i am mockful in heart towards God🙏 i am actually carried lot of weight i need help.
My biggest struggle is with w33d. Please pray for me! 🙏🏾
He is greater than I
Very fruitful, Praise God. I truly can relate to this episode
”His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.“
Psalms 147:10-11 NIV
I needed to hear this about self righteousness. I’m guilty of this; but never thought it was that bad. Boy, do I need to repent. 😢
Same here😔
Wow what a word 👏🏼🙌🏼
@24:50 I was raised going to church, so I’ve been working towards cleaning my life, and truly changing my whole life. But throughout my life I’ve been making mistakes. I do not want to sin anymore! 🙅🏽♂️ What is impossible for man is possible for God, hopefully God makes me completely holy in Jesus name AMEN! 🙏🏽
He will make you holy! Whoever seeks will find!
@@BibleMemorywMusic Thank you 🙏🏽
Can't wait
Right! Amen! Watching at 230 am in San Diego💕
100% applied to me today. Incredible
Jesus SAVED US!
Amazing podcast!
I really needed this now more than ever, God bless you both. I have cleaned up my life but not truly changed. I'm working on it. 💗
Amazing episode. Been a while since I’ve listened but truly needed this message ❤️ Thank you for guys
One of the most powerful messages I’d heard you guys give. Thank you guys for your sacrifices
This is what’s concerning about those who just take a Jordan Peterson perspective to order their life and yet Christ doesn’t live there yet. Good word.
That basketball reference about give me my change, really took me back! God bless y’all
This word was so good, i am so convicted and led to repetence. "self righteousness rejects God's power" shuu. So many notes taken, thank you so much
for teaching the word so honestly. God bless you guys !
I’m learning so much by this episode thank you.
New to the channel this was a very good ,smooth yet convicting message . Thank you Lord for Word and for these people
Amen in Jesus Christ name, Praise God✝️🫶🏼🙏🏼
Thanks!
This was so powerful. Felt like I was doing all the right things in my life to clean myself up. Christ came to me at the lowest part of my life. I kept hitting rock bottom over and over until i reconnected with Christ. The self-righteous part is parallel to how I've been feeling. I'll never forget to be grateful for the love from God & be humbled. When I seem to be confused in my misdirection. He is greater than I. When I've been down, reading the word of God, praying, & meditating on the word, Christ lifts me back up. Would love the ability to preach the word as gracious as you two do. This is the first video I've seen from this channel & you already know I'm following. Thank you for preaching. Needed this today & am feeling blessed.
God bless y'all & much love
This is what I get from it Proverbs 24:17-18
I heard in prayer the other day. Nothing changes until change happens… i was just scrolling and saw this video. I haven’t watched it yet but it caught my attention!
I just found your channel really needed this message today thank you.
This was so good, thanks so much for allowing God to use y’all ❤😢
Amen. This is good family 💗.
We must forever abide in Him and He in us…”Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.“ John 15:4 📖🙏🙌🎶
Thank you for this, it spoke to me. It's giving me a lot to reflect on. God bless you two.
Alex, this podcast was so well put together and has put everything I’ve heard within the past couple months altogether so perfectly. Thank you.
Amen❤
So Powerful, Christ working through u
We are the righteousness of Christ.
Praise God. I haven't even watched the video as yet, but I know that I am meant to watch it. This video is for me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. Amen.
Thank you sooo much. 🙏🙏🙏You explained it so well, I really got it. Praise the Lord.I am at the wrong gate.
Even in "new age" we have these discussions. Thats the ego talking, and its called "soiritual ego"
I needed this thank you both and thank you Jesus ❤️
Amen
Thank you brother for the message. I tried so hard to “clean up” but now I know, I didn’t invite Jesus. I want to turn back to the Lord…
Brooooo! This blew my mind listening to this! I’m definitely about to binge watch all you guys videos. The way you broke this down hit home for me. Helped me see a blind spot in my own life. I love you guys bro! Please keep up this Godly work!

good message, thank you
Enjoyed this- going through this right now
amen!! such a wonderful message. i felt like i did clean up my life. i struggle alot with lust and i have been trying to clean my life. but i feel like i haven’t truly changed.
JUST WOW , i felt conviction and the Spirit of God just speaking to my life ❤🙌🏼
The Word is very effective and encouraging
This was so good! The lord truly spoke to me! Thank you Jesus 😊
This is a great podcast!
I love this
I don’t understand, I’m currently dealing with self righteousness as I’ve had this problem my whole life as I’m now 18, I’ve even rejected alcohol, sex, and I still can’t feel any change in my life, I’m so aware of how empty my soul feels but I think I almost have to screw up my life just to be changed from what I’m hearing because trying to be clean doesn’t work I just wanna give up on this because I don’t know what to do.
Watch the chosen series, sometimes we don’t realise the depth in which Jesus loves us, this along with reading the word will help you. We have to remember that Jesus loved us without us doing anything, he died for us in our most sinful ways. This series really helps you to see his character and how much he loves you. ❤️
Seek Jesus even if there are so many things tempting u or whatever else the more that u seek Him things will be added that kinda surrender of obedience shows that you are going to God's righteousness instead of your own solutions, faith on God over every solution u could ever think of. Those problems aren't you so if u know that truth then don't entertain it even if you did it that's ur sinful nature and that's not u so just repent and turn to God.❤️
I needed this. Thank you
Thanks for the word of God
Amen thank you Jesus for the message
This was so helpful
Uau! Thank God for this podcast, fr!!!
amen.
Thank you for this
Thank you so much this was so beautifully said and taught. This resonated with my struggle and sin in my life. God is good and I’m so happy to be following and listening to Amen podcast. Love all the way from NZ ❤
I saw season four of The Chosen and it addresses just what you are taking about. Those Pharisees really thought when Jesus was teaching on Shabbat was so sinful. But Jesus gave them truth they couldn’t dispute. That scene was so powerful.
Good Word
Great one
This is plain truth, brother. Keep teaching truth.
This had been really good! Sometimes I tend to feel like this man! Just have to keep praying about things and sticking closer to his word! We got this everybody!
I started dating a bisexual girl yesterday after finding out she was bi a couple days before I know I shouldn’t have but I couldn’t deny my flesh and drop her, before I asked I kept seeing the Bible verse “ the prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty” I asked her believing I could help her on her walk with Christ but after I felt so disconnected from Christ like I’ve never felt, I keep feeling condemnation for it, I’m 15 and have never been in a relationship before I’m not sure what I should do. I fully devoted my life to Christ before he saved me from porn a year and a half ago, feeling like I’m letting demons into my life again. Praying somebody gives me a message.
Ive been in a similar situation bruh. You have to make a decision, follow your flesh cause she’s attractive and get the repercussions, or follow the Holy Spirit and retain the fruits. You’re 15 bro, you’re super young & God has a woman better suited for you trust.
@@cphodge thanks for the message mate, just find it hard thinking how I should break up with her after only dating for one day, also being confused on wether or not I should try to help her cause I was planning on taking her to church with me one week and trying to work it out, cause she’s Christian I just think she has some mixed messages on being bi.
@@luketoler5114 just be friends, yall aren’t too serious right?
@@cphodgenot exactly sure what you would consider serious, we are dating now so it’s a bit more complicated to just drop somebody when their now dedicated to be your girlfriend,however I believe it may be necessary I talked to her about it and she told me she didn’t like the lgbtq community and she really only liked a girl, told me she likes guys better and more than likely wouldn’t date a girl for awhile, despite the fact, I feel as if god has made it very clear I’m not supposed to be with her.
Just be friends. If you guys started dating emotions and feelings are probably real high and you guys are attracted to that energy. Id say pray and talk more to god and tell her how you feel about him having him in your life. That together god can heal and give you confirmation. God might also want you to help her to him. Thats left to you and praying and asking if its good should you develop your guys relationship.
HE > me
Pray for me and my family 🤎🙏🏾🙌🏾
A W O R D 🎉🎉 this was deep
❤
Wow that was just beautiful
