The timing of this video is definitely Jesus answering a question because I've been getting hit left and right with the craziest thoughts lately. I've been asking God for forgiveness and help and this video just let's me know agian that The Lord hears me!! God Is So Awesome!!!! Love you all!!
I struggle with the same thing; if you need someone to talk to about it, I'm here!! God bless you brother/sister :)
Man you and me both I struggled with this for like a month and it was like God had my back
@@shallot1939 mine is more than a month but months...... I know God will deliver us. God bless you.
Amen! Perfect timing for me too
As well as I. God do hears and answer prayers. Thoughts have being popping in my mind and I pray and ask forgiviness. Then I see this video. Thank you Lord!
I happen to know for a fact from personal experience that Satan can plant thoughts into our minds. Many years ago when I was involved in an inductive verse by verse Bible study, I was growing in my knowledge and my relationship with God. On one side it was a wonderful period because I was so in love with Him and His word and I was growing by leaps and bounds. But then I started having these thoughts that plagued me nearly every waking hour. It brought me down emotionally and mentally. They were relentless and the worst thing about it is that I thought the thoughts were my own. And I believed them. This carried on for two years. During that period I never told a single soul, not even my husband. The only one that knew what I was dealing with was the Lord. One day I was taking a nap and the second I woke up, it was like my mind became barraged with the thoughts like someone opened up a dam and the thoughts started flooding in. That was the last straw. I grabbed my head in mental agony and I cried out to God that I could not take it anymore. It was torturous but still, I thought they were just my own thoughts. A few days after that day I was in church and my pastor’s wife was praying in front of the congregation and she stopped and started saying that someone is the congregation was being attacked by these thoughts and she described in detail what I had been going through for the past two years. She stated that they were thoughts from the enemy and said what I needed to do to overcome this. Knowing that these thoughts were from the enemy made a huge difference to me because I finally understood what was going on. So therefore I don’t agree that it doesn’t matter where the thoughts are coming from. It made a difference to me. And this was during a time when I was in fact drawing closer to God. I think that was the very reason for the attack. He saw my growth and was trying to steal, kill and destroy me mentally and emotionally because of it. Praise God that He pulled me out of it.
Yes! I left my testimony above (or somewhere on here, lol). God let me hear them! Once I was more conscious, I went from devastated to aware & comforted once I knew they weren't my thoughts. They really feel like they're yours, but they aren't.
@La Morena I am also of the same opinion. And even now, after 15 years with the Lord, I'll be watching the birds in my backyard or a great animal program on tv, and a horrific thought/visual will pop into my mind of a bird getting smashed or a beautiful animal getting hurt. I rebuke the devil and ask God to help me with these horrid images. I love people and animals and would never want to hurt them or see them suffering or in pain. But, Satan does. He hates God and His creation. So, I know these thoughts are not my secret desire to harm; they are definitely nasty attacks from our enemy. The devil will do whatever he can to steal our joy, and a big way is through mental anguish. To me, that's the worst. And he sees what we're doing it watching, and he just goes from there.
Your story is amazing and a perfect spot-on example of how Satan can and does put ungodly or destructive thoughts in our minds. The purpose is to rob, kill and destroy. He wants to rob us of the joy that is in our heart and the peace that is in our mind. Satan does not want us to become closer to God, more obedient to God or to spread the gospel message and help others. One biblical proof I can offer to prove that Satan can influence our thoughts is that during the millennium kingdom after the tribulation when Christ will rule and reign for 1,000 years, Satan will be bound for that 1,000 year period and he will not be able to influence people or the world. So if Satan can't influence our thoughts then what would be the benefit or purpose of him being bound up?
@@NallaZsade your story is also a spot-on example of how Satan can influence our thoughts.
@@brimstonebrimstone8617 you’re absolutely right! And he even does so today. Allen says that people are influenced by the world system, which is under the influence of Satan. Well, how does Satan influence the world system? How does he tempt people? How does he deceive the whole world, as the Bible says? He doesn’t audibly speak. If he isn’t planting the thoughts, then how?
For anyone on a purity journey, don't be discouraged by these thoughts. This year I made a commitment to God to get rid of all sexual impurity in my life however small and at first these thoughts were overwhelming. Now four months into this commitment they are fading fast. I was so ashamed to talk to God about this because I had so many doubting, lustful, even blasphemous thoughts just come into my mind, but don't be ashamed. I find it helps to confess and repent as each thought comes in. Lastly, focus on all the small sins. The more little things you take care of like judgemental thinking, swearing etc, the more your overall walk with God will improve. God bless all of you!
Happy to hear this 💪🏼
You are not alone 🙏🏻 stay strong
God bless you 😊
Amen. You are not alone! And don't feel ashamed to talk to God, even if you are in the midst of temptation or even sin. As soon as you are aware, cry out to Him. He is faithful to help us! I know from much experience👍
@@SwissFenyx thank you! God bless you too!
@@gohawks3571 thank you!
So true!
I can't wait for the redemption of our bodies, becoming incorruptible and perfect as our Lord is now. No more fleeing, resisting, or being on the lookout for that roaring lion whom seeks to destroy us day and night.😓😥
Please Lord Jesus, establish your Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven
Amen!
Amen
Amen
Wow, this one spoke to me. Last night I had a battle with lust and ultimately given onto porn. I felt so disgusted and I prayed hard and cried last night asking God for forgiveness and asking why I keep falling into sin. I prayed for over an hour. Begged him to take it completely away from me. Asked him to speak to me in my dream or give me some sign. I felt at peace after that and I praised God before I went to sleep. Then as I was listening to some sermons here at work (I'm currently at work as I write this) I stumbled across this video. What is crazy, is that this video is a couple of hours ago... Thank you so much for this video. You're a true man of the lord.
. who the Son sets free is free indeed.....don't give up on praying...He will set you free
When temptation comes you have to replace it with something else. Go for a short walk and listen to gospel music to restore your mind on Christ. It will be a battle of the mind, but each day you refrain is a victory.
Hello Brother, I've been there before... I used to be a slave of sins but Jesus set me free. Without him I would not be able to win the battle but Jesus holds the victory and he will set you free from your sins. What matters is to always repent whenever you committed a sin and to turn away from your sins and to keep praying 1 thessalonians 5:17, Read the bible and to have alone time with God.
◄ 1 John 1:9 ►
New International Version
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
John 8:32 ►
New International Version
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
( Jesus said that he is the way, the TRUTH and the life )
John 8:36 ►
New International Version
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
You aren't alone! Baby steps, with Jesus of course. We live by faith, and only thru God's strength. I had such a hard time, having had sexual abuse from 4 yrs old. It was very ingrained in me, and I didn't know how to stop. God was gentle with me and strengthened me, step by step, against this. He is ever present, and I know it every second of the day. As soon as you are aware, call out to Him for help. He will help you! Even if you fall, call, call again. He has His hand outreached to you. As long as you reach for Him, He will grab your hand. You will be amazed how, no matter how heavy the darts are being thrown at you, you will be slowly & steadily strengthened against it. Don't let shame stop you; we will not be perfect until we cross over to heaven. Here, we overcome. Have a long distance hug😊💗 It's hard and frustrating. But less so when you understand God is helping you, and not condemning you😇💗🤴
@@originalmix2546 Hi Ted Bundy! Lol
I have no idea where they come from, but ungodly thoughts are immediately met right the of Word of God.. even just saying “in Jesus’ name!”
I'm so happy and joyful I'm free in Jesus Christ, it hasn't always been easy but I'm glad I'm free!
HELLO 👋HOW ARE YOU. DOING TODAY?
GOT SOMETHING BIG TO SHARE*
Amen. If you are a believer Satan can not possess you or live in you. But he certainly can whisper in your ear! Take heart! Satan may be right next to you but the Holy Spirit, Who has already defeated Satan actually dwells in you!! Resist the Devil and He Will Flee!!!!
Sometimes when I had these intrusive evil thoughts I would just keep saying in my mind I take every thought captive to obey Christ as soon as I senses it coming up and it took a little bit but they went away.
It takes a discerning spirit to identify these thoughts an separate them from the Holy Spirit inside us. Good going :)
One thing I’d do that’s helped alot is acknowledging that the thought is heinous and I’m choosing to not even allow the thought, fear or guilt fester bcus it was a distraction.
Awesome!✨
My thoughts are horrible like telling me I should hurt my family and I never would do that to anyone I wouldn't even hurt a fly..but I decided to say a scripture the one that says "sumbit to God, resist the devil and he will flee" and it went away but they keep coming back over and over again I have the Holy Ghost so I shouldn't be afraid of evil which I'm trying to ignore them my parents know and church actually really helps God can do anything!!💜I use to have sucidal thoughts also..
Next time, say out loud and command the demons leave you alone. Command the demons to go to the Pit, stay there and await their judgment.
Show them who's boss. (Jesus gave us authority over demons)
Great point. I grew up w the mentality of "the devil made me do it". Unfortunately, blaming the devil did no help me change. When I understood how thoughts are influenced by inner desires, it helped me look inwardly, search my heart and seek God for areas in my life I needed to change.
As believers we should submit to God then resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. I am ready to get my glorified body in heaven to get rid of this self old sinful nature forever
Amen, protect your ear and eye gates. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you"
John 10:10-11
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundant. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep."

Be careful about the Anias and Saphira verses. The problem was not that they kept some of the money for themselves. Peter even says that when the land was theirs, they had the right to do with it as they saw fit, and after selling it, the same was true of the money. The problem was they claimed they sold it for less than they did, so they could appear more holy in their giving than they actually were.
FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS THIS PROBLEM! thank you brother this was amazing you got right to the real question we need to ask!!

I understand this too Satan doesn't put thoughts in our minds but he can influence us . The thoughts comes from our own desires or other things around us. Just like if I see man an I say he's sent but I'm with someone else
In my mind I start to think thoughts that shouldn't be there. The throught didn't come from the devil it came from us
It's relief to be honest. I'm so glad he made this veido. Now people can stop saying the devil made me do it. God is way powerful than the devil but I don't underestimate the devil. I'm not ignorant to his devices. All devil 😈 do is Play tricks with us. He's a deceiver very cunning full of trickery
May the Lord return!! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!!

Can you make a video about bad temper, anger and abuse.
My ex husband is a believer and reads the Bible, but he has all these things. He still abuses me mentally with his bad temper and words!
I’m so grateful that God parted us he was so horrible to me.
I can't tell you many times Satan has messed with my mind.
It’s your heart messing with you.
"Take every thought captive." I haven't watched your video, and I may or may not, I just know in my own life recently (as in the last three days), this verse has become EXTREMELY important. I also know that, whether Satan plants these thoughts or not, the command is the same: take it captive, and make it obedient to Christ. Sorry if I'm rehashing what you said in the video, but the timing of both this video and what God has been teaching me this week was too much to pass up.
I haven't mastered this area. Sometimes I have total control over myself othertimes I completely fall apart. Praise the Lord who is very patient and kind with me. He incourage me to start living right to him again right after I fall apart.
Hey Allan. I’m 16 and recently started watching your videos. They have been really helpful. I go to a Christian school, but for some reason gossip and slander are rampant in student talking. I’m a bit of a coward, so I was wondering if you could possibly make a video on how to confront it without sinning. Thanks for all the helpful videos.
The best Christian school is home school
@@jenex5608 I used to believe that but our children will eventually go to college a work.learning how to live in the world and not be of the world may start by sending our children to school
Hi there WingedHussar. I just saw your post, and wanted to comment. The best thing you can do as a believer, is take it to God in prayer first and foremost to ask Him how He would want you to handle your schoolmates, then if you're able , request a sit down with your Dad and Mom and tell them what you have been going through, and then if it's needed, bring it before the counselor at your school to have a meeting with your parents, the parents of the students who are causing you strife, along with those individual students. I certainly had my share of bullies throughout my many years of school life, even as a professional student when in nursing school, and I wasn't born again yet at those times. Avoid handling it on your own, because it will only bring more strife. I will pray for you! Hang in there, and rebuke the devil that is trying to prevent you from learning,etc. God bless you!! If you have any steam left, I certainly can use a prayer to help my unbelieving Mom to say yes to Christ so she can have some peace in her every day life as she has a health condition which is just plain awful, and she needs the healing from God's hand! Pray that she accepts Christ sooner than later so we can all be in peace once and for all. Thank you! I really hope all works out for you!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@jenex5608 Amen!! In a Godly home is where God fearing kids should be taught to live under God's rules and regulations as written in His word! Not by worldly teachers who are trying to teach children that there is no God! ❤🙏
@@jenex5608 Not necessarily, I believe that school actually equips you well for living life as a Christian in the outside world as long as you have a sound foundation. Home school may help children avoid the bad things in our world but it won’t train them to show their faith in difficult environments and to be prepared for some of the negative things we encounter as Christians. There are benifits and negatives to both homeschooling and normal school
GOD IS GOOD! ❤️❤️✝️✝️
Satan has been doing this to me for the longest time now! This was perfectly timed! Thank you!
We do it to ourselves.
@@alfredmacias365 how?
no weapons formed against me shall prosper 🙏 🙌
Wow I agree. Because even when satan tempted Jesus, he couldn't implant thoughts into his head but used things around him to try to get Him to sin against God.
This is why the enemy works through celebrities to try and influence the masses. And also, things which makes us sin are now more than ever easily accessible.
The Lord always knows what we need to hear and when we need to hear it. This was an answer to my prayers. Thank you Lord!
Amen
Pray God lifts the scales from the lukewarm and lost eyes, opens their ears and soften their hearts ♥️
Be sure to confess daily for process of sanctification.
I'm watching this again because I thought of a time last year when I was on the phone with a friend in the clergy. While he was talking, a thought so strong popped into my head--"I HATE YOU AND I HATE YOUR GOD!!" that I gasped out loud (my friend didn't notice). After I hung up from him I was so ashamed of myself and felt so guilty! I prayed and asked Yah to forgive me because it wasn't MY thought. To this DAY I still feel bad about it.
Saints, please pray for me against the enemy!
CAST OUT EVERY EVIL THOUGHT AND BLOCK IT WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS THE BATTLE IS IN THE MIND HOLD ON TO POSITIVE WORD AND REJECT EVIL THOUGHT AMEN
This one was for me personally. It’s a mind battle everyday 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I believe from personal experience that Satan can put thoughts into our minds. I went through a period of very dark depression during that time my mind was filled with thoughts about being unwanted, unloved, rejected, everyone being happier and better off if I were dead; worse than any of those thoughts and always when I was alone at night in the dark the thought that God had also rejected me. During that time when I would reach for my Bible I would have thoughts such as I'm so tired I should just skip reading my Bible today and go to sleep or God understands how tired I am He won't mind if I don't read my Bible today. After Jesus healed me He told me that had I given up on reading the Bible I would have given up on Him.
Also during my battle with depression sometimes when I would start to pray the thought "why should you pray to God, look what He's doing to you" would pop into my head. I was also seeing images of me taking my own; whenever these images would pop into my mind I would cry out to Jesus saying either "Jesus help me" or "Jesus I need You". Every single time at the sound of Jesus' name the images would disappear as suddenly as they'd come.
I believe all those thoughts and images were coming from Satan who was trying to get me to give up my faith and take my own life. I also believe that had I listened to him and given up reading my Bible I would be dead today because Jesus told me that I would have given up on Him. If I had given up on Jesus I would have had no one to cry out to whenever I was seeing images of me ending my own life. I'm so grateful to God that He gave me a love for His Word and the desire to make Bible reading a daily rather than a hit and miss part of my life many years before He allowed me to go through the storm on the Sea of Depression.
God bless you
Also, we as born again Holy Spirit filled believers in Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamaschiach should everyday put on the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-20🙏✝️
In my experience...... I used to struggle with intrusive thought..... all changed... when, is ?? Life happening to me? Or is Life happening through me.. to you means becoming a victim to life's ups and downs , life through me means, I get to choose.... choose if I don't like how life is showing up right now... pause... think... wait... breathe...... no it doesn't have to be this way.... then give your request knowen to God.... listen to subtle ideas... feels about... this is the path to take....the next step..
FELLOWSHIP! Having Godly people around you is an extremely powerful influence on your mind and actions. Don’t isolate yourself as a Christian. You’re open to the Devils blows.
If something nasty comes into my mind, I throw it away. Those thoughts come to everyone, it's when you DWELL on it and KEEP thinking about it (like you said) that it becomes a sin.
After I throw it away, I will sing a song to get it out of my head. Better deal if it's worship or praise! 🙂 try it
I also watch what I watch. I am careful with regards to movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc. The eyes are the gateway to the heart (mind). If we watch and hear garbage then that will, at some point, influence our thoughts. King David said it best in Psalm 101:3 - "I will put not wicked thing before my eyes".
Bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5b). In a way, it doesn't matter whether the temptation comes by the World, by your flesh or directly from the devil. Submit yourself to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
I push it out and quickly ask for forgiveness. I think about putting my armor on and also a Bible verse. I also notice it happens when I get anxious about something. I pray for help and call out Jesus’ name. These things help me every time.
This was right on time! I was literally just asking this question to myself yesterday! I honestly hate when I get a dark evil thought, but thankfully, when that happens I pray about it and am able to forget about it almost instantly. So grateful to have you as my brother in Christ! Thanks for all your helpful, insightful, and encouraging content!
ua-cam.com/video/2twUIcpn4fc/v-deo.html
Ananias and Sapphira's sin was lying to the Holy Spirit, not giving half their wealth away. Think about it if I give half my wealth to the poor and admit I only have given half is that a sin? Of course not. They were trying to make themselves appear even more generous than they were. They probably agreed to give all and gave less. If they were just open an honest it would not have been a sin. Peter said to them it was yours freely to give so it was up to them how much they gave. The sin was lying to God.
You are right. There is no contradiction to that fact. What brother Allen is explaing is two points of view regarding evil thoughts that come to our mind and influence our actions. 1) coming from Satan vs 2) coming from our own desires.
@@ivonnegutierrez9744
I agree with him entirely. Satan does put thoughts in the mind, but even if you don't believe that you still have to deal with your thoughts whether they are from Satan, your carnal mind or just your mind remembering evil stuff you've seen. However I think there's a disadvantage to thinking Satan doesn't put thoughts in your mind and to thinking it doesn't matter if you think he doesn't. God's word makes it very clear he has influences over the world which means he must have influence over people's mind which also means it's a given he puts thoughts in there. God's word makes this clear implicitly if not directly. There has to be a reason why God warns us of this and it has to matter. It's complicated because how do you distinguish between a demon in your head or just an involuntary thought from yourself? It must be important though because if it wasn't then God wouldn't even talk about Satan in his word if there were no difference at all.
A way to combat these negative or sinful thoughts, Before these thought commence into action, as believers we NEED TO put on the " WHOLE ARMOR OF SALVATION AND US SWORD OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS GOD WORD Ephesian 6:11/18
Memorizing scripture and reciting it when tempted is another way to fight the works of the devil. "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee"
HELLO 👋HOW ARE YOU. DOING TODAY?
GOT SOMETHING BIG TO SHARE*
Indeed. The Scriptures themselves (to recite, think on, quote aloud) & the principles that they plant roots of inside us. That Word is the "sword of the Spirit" (Eph 6)
Somebody pray for me please. ❤️
Needed to hear this today... fighting negative thoughts & depression. Thank you, Pastor Allen. ❤
It is not what goes into a man that defileth him but what comes out - Christ Jesus
Just some thought: Maybe these impure thoughts are the “flaming arrows” being referred to in the verse below.
Ephesians 6:16-18
New International Version
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,(A) with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.(B) 17 Take the helmet of salvation(C) and the sword of the Spirit,(D) which is the word of God.
Bingo. Or at least some of them. We're told that specifically by inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul. Also see: 2 Cor 10, where Allen quotes from. That section deals with specific strategies of our ongoing "war," but also dives into the spiritual nature of it vs. simply being a flesh-only thing. God Bless!
It’s crazy. I was just thinking about this subject. Then, with no prior search about the subject, this video pops us.
This was def on my recommended for a reason. Lately I have been getting a lot of these thoughts when I’m praying
Calling this a great video would be an understatement.
Good to hear a biblically sound brother address the mind.
Thank You
I get thoughts about my pregnancy having miscarriage. This is my first pregnancy and I'm going to be 38 also I'm diabetic. My husband and I pray everyday for our baby to be healthy and strong.
Do not give in to such thoughts and fear. It's all an illusion which is not reality. Believe in the Lord and he'll take everything in the right way
You will have a healthy pregnancy in Jesus name Amen❤️❤️
Next time you get those thoughts. Say out loud. "I rebuke you lying demons. as a child of God, I have authority over you. I command you leave me alone, I command you leave this household. I command you go to the pit, stay there and await your judgment, In Jesus name"
*Repeat* this prayer until the thoughts go away.
On time video !! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 ..I’ve been praying about this whole week..got some answers but this is definitely helpful!! Thanks for sharing . I was reminded that we got 3 enemy : the world, flesh & the devil . 🙏🏾 Please everyone we have to keep praying for other believers & for people to receive Jesus quickly & for the return of Jesus soon. I’ve learnt this week from Philippians 4:8 - that Jesus has all those characters so if I have negative thoughts I would focus my mind on the cross that Jesus died on but also knowing that He’s risen . I also pray for the Holy Spirit to help me as well. I have battled with negative thoughts before in the past but i would also know to go on prayer & fasting for my mind as well .
Such important timing. I was just thinking about this recently. I was recently saved and started going back to church a few months ago. I have been struggling to stop watching pornography. It used to be several times a day with no guilt. Now it is once every now and then, maybe once a week, with immediate regret and shame after. But it’s odd because I’ll be going along not even thinking about sex or porn. For days. Then out of no where I will get these thoughts and the overwhelming urges. Even though I don’t want to watch it, sometimes I give in to the temptation. I feel like Satan is attacking my relationship with God. Don’t get me wrong. I’m the one to blame. It is my sin if I look at pornography or lust after a woman. But I believe the devil tempts me to put a strain on the relationship I have with God.
Walk the walk.
@10:59 is supposed to be James 1:8 NLT also
I'm very thankful for this video. I battle with dark thoughts rising in my mind a lot. I'm learning how to cast them down again and overcome them
I firmly believe he can put thoughts in our minds. I was going through a tough time a year ago and would be thinking or focusing on things like you said in the intro even praying and a random thought would come out of nowhere reminding me what my spouse had done. They were not my thoughts. Local Pastor that was counseling us gave me a piece of advice that worked. Everytime I had one of those random thoughts out of nowhere about what she had done I replied out loud “yea and you had me doing equally as bad and worse but Praise Jesus for taking our sins on himself on the cross and Praise God for that redemption and forgiveness.” Those thoughts almost immediately ceased not just in the moment but in a short time for good. Satan doesn’t like trying to tempt or attack you if his attacks turn into Praise of Christ. He may try a different approach but if the one he’s attacking you with leads to that it will end. He doesn’t want to push you closer to God.
Resist him and he will flee.
This is too true
