My two favourite speaker right here. Come back to Melbourne Australia Caroline. How city needs to hear your truth. Amen. I know I need it. Praise Jesus
I clicked on this video because i made the decision to watch something positive to start my day off because i simply wanted to set the course for my thoughts and attitudes for the day and I am so glad i did! It was right on time!
Our thoughts determine our world. If our thoughts are positive, we will live a positive life. If they are negative, our life will become negative. 🔥
Oh wow. Just wow. I'm...fascinated. I really love this.
For anyone who is struggling with life. I wanted to kill myself last year. It felt like I had demons in my brain manipulating my mind. I couldnt think clearly. I couldnt choose my thoughts they were being put into me. Everyday it got worse. I barely ate, barely slept, I was dying. My brain hurt, I was constantly getting light headed. The world didn't look the same anymore. It didnt matter how anything looked even if it was beautful, everything looked like hell but I didnt want it to. I wanted to help people, I always have but there was a constant opposition that wasnt coming from me, I couldn't fix my mind. I was afraid to trust God but I knew if I listened everything would be okay.
I failed two semesters of college because of this. One of the few friends I had died and because of this problem I couldnt be the brother he always was to me while he was alive. Then my nephew got a really bad sickness. If he would have died I would have died. At the time I felt like I failed alot of people, because I did and I felt like I had failed him, I didn't feel like I deserved to live. It didnt feel right. I tried to fix my mind so I could do better in this life but it only got worse. God healed my nephew from a disease that should have killed him. Real authentic bible following Christians prayed in the name of Jesus and my nephew was healed. Even the doctor asked us if we believed in God because he said my nephew was alive by some miracle. I didnt kill myself because my nephew survived. I kept going but my mind was still messed up. I kept letting people down.
Eventually I got fed up with myself. I got to the point that I didn't care what happened to me. I disregarded myself completely for the sake of others. Even though my mind was absolute hell I read the bible, I prayed and trusted God.
The more time I spent with God the less, worry, hate, anger and paranoid I got. I learned to love people that I had no reason to love. I dont want to hurt people.
The only reason I still do mma is for my coach that got killed. The last thing he told me before he died was that he couldnt wait to see me in mma, I feel like I have to fight, I know he didn't die for nothing, it wont be for nothing. Eventually my mind was free from all that hell, it took awhile only because I had a real hard time trusting in God but once I just let go and trusted God no matter what I became free from all that mental hell. I have mental clarity now. I have peace, I can breathe. I know alot of things in life dont make sense sometimes but I promise you there is life in Jesus. All of you matter. Dont listen to anyone who tells you that you dont. You are more than significant. theres a guy named dan mohler on youtube that explains the gosple of Christ very well, Look up Dan Mohler- what is our purpose
God bless you and keep you as you progress in your journey!
Wow, you have really touched me with your story :’) What an amazing transformation 💜
Рикардо Карденас I’m moved by this .
This is exactly what I needed to see. My ex right now is someone that loves me and wants to be with me, yet her demons are in her ear pulling her back giving her the negative thoughts and ruining her life. She feels the exact same way you did, but is trying her best to trust God and him. She told me weeks ago she wanted to die everyday she woke up. Right now I am giving her some time to herself to gather her thoughts and such and to focus on herself. Absorbing all her depression has made me depressed and I'm making the steps to change myself to become a better person myself and with the faith I have in God. Pretty disheartening situation right now between us because we know we are perfect for eachother, but her depression is so severe it pushes her away from me. So reading this, I will relay this sort of information to her because she defininetly needs to hear this. And I just pray everyday that God will be there in her life and guide her on the path that is made for her. Miss her to death, but I know in due time, we will be back together. Love is patient, Love is kind. And im very happy for you that you overcame those struggles to be the best possible version of yourself you need to be! Cheers!
MoaYourLawn don’t give up on your wife this is the time that you need to be by her side and I really would suggest going to a counselor so you guys can get through this together.
If there's anyone still watching this video ,plz pray for me , I have demons in my head im trying to fight them but I can't alone, any prayers would be helpful, I got tired of being an addict a sinner or what you call being part of the world, any prayers would be appreciated , may god bless y'all
Steven Furtick,
I just want to say thank you 🙏
You are a wonderful and truly anointed❤️❤️ I live I WV where people aren’t in the best of situations; hope and faith are scarce because of drugs. My Faith has been all over the place for quite sometime even though I know it’s by God’s amazing grace, love, and mercy that I’m still here. I am not the walking dead and I haven’t been for awhile. Because He lives so do I!! He is my Father and I am His daughter. I believe He led me to you, you teach in a way of wisdom and knowledge which leads me to understand. It is my hope that I can attend a live service and meet you in person. I watch a lot of you Series Teachings and I have learned so much and I am in such a better place. Thank you 🙏 and I hope to attend a service and meet you.
Religion has killed our Respectful God. We've become a culture of blaming everything on everyone. We blame the devil on any of our mistakes instead of taking responsibility. True perspective indeed. Toxic thought is toxic.
yes indeed
Religion has always been a downfall of men.
Jesus himself said it was a sin to be religious minded, due to the fact that it keeps Man's eyes on the ACT versus keeping his eyes on the teachings of Jesus.
People all over the world still practice religion, thinking that it will be pleasing to God, but in reality it keeps us from truly knowing who He is.
The bible also says that what He did on the cross was enough. When Jesus looked up and said it is finished, that meant that no amount of religious acting, like putting Ash on the forehead or trying to do some odd Act would be pleasing to Him, or get you closer to Him. Religious acting is as good to Christianity as someone doing a touchdown after the football game has been won!! Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, and His only commandment to us was to love the Lord God with all our heart all our soul, and all of our strength! And then to love your neighbor as yourself, thus fulfilling the law!! Praise the Lord that He (Jesus) is the ultimate authoritative figure in our lives!! Otherwise we would be bound to all kinds of crazy religious Acts that would lead us no were.
It is sad that thousands upon thousands of self-proclaimed Christians will apply men's religion over Jesus's teachings thus saying that what Jesus did on the cross was not enough. They acknowledging Jesus with their lips, but denying him by their lifestyle. This is what causes more and more atheists today. If we cannot show love to one another, but think some act that was literally made up by man will be enough, we will be sadly mistaken on our death date. With all the love of Jesus Christ in my heart I hope that whoever reads this would realize, to be a Christian is to be christ-like!! taking up our cross, denying our self, and being the light that He called us to be to one another in His amazing love!
Amen, I stand in agreement with you in Jesus name
You cannot kill god
Thank you, Jesus, take your thoughts captive and put good thoughts in your mind.
Amen
Well said Pastor, you are right 💯% Negative thoughts bring negative emotions negative things in our lives. and same religions put devil in front instead of God. Yes we have to be very careful and wise
I love Steven’s comment section
True. I make a point of not just saying I will pray for you. When someone talks to me and asks me to pray for them, I do it on the spot while I am with them.
Same.
I hate when people say “I will keep you in my prayers, or I’ll pray for you (like you said Rene). Like wtf if you don’t mean it don’t say it because we know most just like to say something that sound nice but are empty words. 2019 is the year of keeping it real for me.
I had watched this video in the past.. and i got so much awareness out of this! I’ve watched this video 3 times now... using it as a bible sermon next week with the Bible class I lead... it’s amazing!! You both were an answered prayer!! It’s great to see how God has no limits as to when and where the message comes from.
I love Dr. Leaf so much! She is such a sweet and intelligent person. God bless her! ♡
Who else could listen to her talk all day??
I love you LORD!!!may blessing and peace honor YOU AND BE A GIFT FROM YOU
God doesn’t see you, he sees how you Feel. Thoughts determine your feelings and feelings determine what you attract. Your vibration (feeling) is everything. Guard your mouth, and what others are saying around you because that will have a direct and major impact on your thoughts which lead to feelings which lead to attraction, either more negative or positive experiences and circumstances and people that come into your life.
Gods not just "love" He hass soooooo much character !!! I do agree though we dont take responsibility and blame it on others or the devil
I just watch the full video it's amazing, thanks for sharing this powerful message so needed this.
The sermon series, Triggered, really helped me and this particular interview is so rich. When it first posted I watched it over and over and took notes to begin to work on if I truly believe what I say I believe. It's awesome!
What a great teaching for those who are trying to tell the "Pre-Christians" they are praying for that "I am not about religion but about Christianity 24/7"
100% RIGHT!
Love will Win at the End. People need to stop having excuses to make people suffer course they have hate in the heart. Love is more powerful than hate💜🙏🇺🇸
A long term memory that will bring change!
Wow! That was so enlightening 💡💁🏻
This is so profound!!!
I love Caroline...
Hello pastor ,am greatly blessed by your many teachings especially Get back to the Gate.Am Julius Kampala Uganda
Great video pastor thank u
Wooow,God bless u,I need more of this..
We have our soul (mind, will and emotions) body (our vehicle) spirit (truly us) God is not moved by emotions he is moved by actions doer of the word! Satan attacks the soul (negative thoughts leads to will doing things in the flesh and emotions that makes us spiral out of control! That’s why we have to know our true power, authority and identity in Christ! How to rebuke satan off , Renew our minds and break generational curses people have no idea how powerful we are through the Holy Ghost within us we can conquer all evil all it takes is Faith and believe in him a relationship with him ,so many churches fail to preach the power within us that’s why so many churches have broken busted people that don’t know there authority in Christ and mix religion to much they never teach them how to overcome the real obstacles in life how to fight in the spirit!
That’s right!
Loved this! Shared this!! Amen sister!
Facts! 💯
Wow!! explained very well!!!
Priceless 💯🚀
This was so educational 🖤
Yes true is people they own churches read the Bible 3 times a Day but not practice what they preach they criticize, harm,bullying,bragging about they rich and have power but they going to see god power he will put them in they place 🙏🙏 god knows what I’m said is true from my own experience I trust god he’s going to uncover everything the hold world is going to see he’s power and justice Amen
Finally!!!! Somebody said it! 💕
My God, thank you Lord!!
Just a bit of her powerful knowledge, and knowledge is powerful if you know how to apply it. Much more on Dr. Caroline Leaf channel
Amen!!
GOD IS PUSHING YOU TO THE ONE YOU ALWAYS BEEN WITH AND THE MORE YOU LISTEN THE MORE YOU NOT GOING ANY WHERE. HERE WITH ME YOU CAN. BELIEVE ME
She's South African!! Yay!!!
So uh, that was Brilliant 😅🙌 is the whole segment coming out? This Fascinates me. To fix the toxic taken opinion, from a silly proposed comment.
@Brett Marshall - I am glad you found this helpful. You can watch the full interview here: ua-cam.com/video/Ea8pHeetkgo/v-deo.html ^SF Team
Yessss! I totally agree!
This is solo good.
A real conversation about a real "major" issue. I've heard some preaching that would drive me insane if I followed some of the punch line verses.
They ain't lying
Wow
So what do I do to help me believe the scripture so it wont cause brain damage when I have thoughts of worry or complaint?
GOD IS THE LORD OVER MY LIFE IM TRUSTING HIM TO FIX ME AND COMPLETE ME THANK YOU LORD!!!
💯
where can I watch the full interview?
Our body is full of sin because of choices we've made and experiences we've had. Jesus helps us to change into God's alignment & purpose. Blaming is not right which most learned early in life. We are responsible for our choices.
How am I suppose to feel when someone tells u that theres a demon in me? Its a really scary feeling and I just try to block it . any advice besides praying?
Toxic thoughts are toxic. but to say that it causes brain damage without an explanation is uncool. i loved this talk but it should not have ended there. please bring her back and continue the dialogue!! Abd thank u for what you've provided online. i listen daily!
❤
Holy crap shes good
Wow! where can we watch the full interview?

@@stevenfurtick thank you!
@@lavenderhazel thank you
The point here seems to me that we must not contradict ourselves when we confess the scriptures. We must "call things that be not as though they were" and stick with it, not be double-minded because that will cause cognitive dissonance.
I felt like she was talking to me
I have a lot of unlearning to do
Quit with the blame game. Walk the way you talk ..amen.. With the Lord. ..
Hmmm...when i hear criticism of the church i think of other churches. Like the catholic one...the united one...etc. Or people who view the footprint the church makes as the basis for its success or failure. I would never think of MY church. We have amazing holy spirit filled leaders who put out what needs to be said and after saying it, offer many many classes to help those who are willing to walk the talk in any area of their life. Heres one we should all take...Genesis...amazing! According to Paul, why do i do the things that i do when i hate those things? The lymbic system is the cause for this poison thinking. Not Christianese. We have had Caroline leaf at our church to speak a few times and she is a very talented women and speaker with a heart for God. I would like to hear her address the lymbic system.

This comment will make you real, enough to - be welcomed by angels at home. Do you understand, Steven? The SYNERGY of PRAYER.
In my travels I've noticed that Americans that call themselves Christians, are sometime only Christian by name not action. Many countries outside of America hold on to their faith and beliefs in Christianity closer than we Americans do. Just my experience.
🤔 all I can say is ( Lord God Jesus please help me to understand what they are saying in this video please help trying to understand 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔)
Kendra Finally I caught about half of what she was saying. Her accent is very unique. I got the gist of what she was saying though. Be careful with your thoughts. If you want to hear someone more comprehensible, listen to Joyce Meyer. She will tell it all in layman's terms. Very easy to understand. Blessings to you!!
@@Silver-cl2bd okay cool I watch Joyce Meyer to. But I found the whole video of this and now I understand a little bit more of what they was both saying. I got to get her book thanks
Kendra Finally battlefield of the mind was the very first book from Joyce that I read. Amazing read!
What I got from this message is we are actually damaging our brains when we say these "Christian-ese" terms, but don't really believe or practice what we preach. Ultimately, we're creating a disconnect within ourselves.
@@Aja1222 🤔
Have I had a enlightened experience listening to this, no its complete crap, now I must be guilty of a toxic thought.
Religion is works. Works is something of man. Man is of the world. Satan is a ruler of this world. God is amazing and He said what we do for Jesus counts for an eternity!!!
God is loving but he is also jealous judging to all but don't follow his ways. God is beautiful but he wants us to change sinful ways.
Hehe. They’re matching. But anyway we need to take responsibility and stop blaming
Our God
If you don't mean it, don't say it.
she sounds south african
How bout Jesus Christ teaches religion of Christianity?
Wow
