I have never seen a ghost, or heard a disembodied voice. I have never seen a spirit or had any supernatural experience happen to me. God protected me for many years as I used tarot cards and many other new aged things and occult stuff. God blocked those things from touching me, and then I was saved at 28 years old. PRAISE HIM THE GREAT PROTECTOR
Wow than your really blessed ❤️ but me you can say I alot of experience in my life with demons ghost and even Satan himself and that was crazy to be honest
@@jollykim3290 I think I've been possessed by certain demons because I was addicted to a lot of things, but never have I seen anything paranormal. Satan was much more subtle with me. In a way, not believing in demons or satan was his biggest lie against me and it almost cost me!!
I can't blame you because Satan is the fathers of lies but I am really happy because you knew about it finally and you got saved so that's a real blessing for God . Even me in some sort of my life I thought I was possessed and stuff because I well see things that no body in my household will see and I was so terrified and the fact that no one in my family believed me I felt like a psychopath and ill or something . Like something will make me wake up in 3 AM at night and I will speak a language that I don't even know what it is . but anyway God is more powerful and I've put my trust in Him God bless you sister prayers for you 💜
@@youbloodybloodworktimejasper Demons are real but be careful not to blame possession for everything. The heart of an unrepentant sinner is capable of doing plenty of evil sinful things on its own. You know your own heart and history I am not trying to tell you definitively what has happened to you, but I have seen many people who blame demons for every issue in themselves or their lives. I think in some cases it might cause people to not repent of their own sin because they see it as something a demon "made them do" not something they did. For me, I have had issues with drugs, and I know for sure it was something I did, no one made me do it but me, nothing resisted God's will that I stop using them except my own mind and body. I am very thankful to God that He protected you from evil forces you opened yourself up to. New Age and magic practices are growing more and more popular, we need Christians who know what that path is like and who can reach the people in that sin and show them the way out through Jesus Christ. If we encounter any evil beings, we rebuke them through faith in the name of Christ.
I use to think satan was "scary" UNTIL I felt the wrath of God (in a out of body experience). Let me just say that satan has nothinggggggg on God. & I mean NOTHING.
I had a dream where I was talking to God. I didn't see Him, but I knew I was talking to Him. I just remember asking Him: What do you want me to call you? Dad, Father, God? And I just remember Him giving a chuckle to my question.
When I was a little boy, I asked my grandmother if God had magic ? She told me “God doesn’t use magic, He has Power “ that’s stayed with me all these years and I am 52
Sorry, but your grandmother was wrong. What God is supposed to be able to do is exactly what the definition of magic is : the power of influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
@@urasam2 Th real answers is: God has magic, but he choses to use something better and different. Which is Love. Thats the most powerful magic that no other magick can compare.
@@mackymoo1329 You don't know that "God" exists, therefore you don't know that "he" has magic, and you don't know that he choses anything. People can't "use love" - love is the description we use for a state of emotion, expericenced by sentient creatures, and caused by the reactions of certain chemicals in the brain - dopamine and oxytocin.
@@mackymoo1329 Saying “God exists” is a claim. A claim must be backed up by solid evidence otherwise should be rejected. Do you know of any such evidence? Because I don’t.
@@IIIRotor A lot. Satan had perverted many people's hearts and led them to be condemned to death. Think of it like this. God is the Judge and you're on trial for sacrificing children to a statue where they are tossed into a fire. Now God condemns you to death and makes your pay for your sins. But WHO was it that led you to sacrifice children to a pagan statue? It wasn't God. God had written morality on the hearts of Man, but we also have the choice to make choices against God's law. It was Satan that perverted your heart and led you astray despite God's multitude of warnings to not revel in sin. Satan conned you into sinning against and denying God, and God is judging you by your choice to follow the Prince of Lies rather than the Father of Love, Righteousness, and Truth. God has written, Satan is the Prince of Earth. He is very seductive. He easily can lead you astray if you are not vigilant. Through God is Light and all that is good. Satan is a perverter of all that is good. There is a reason he is called the Great Corrupter. Every sin is a corruption of something Good. If you are not steadfast in your faith, you can lose your way.
We need to prepare more for these kind of questions. Jesus warned that in the end times, Satan will display great signs and wonders to deceive many. With non-believers, I try to approach the topic of magic/new age ideas by asking questions about why they believe what they do: What do you think is behind supernatural power? How do you discern if an entity is good or evil? What are its goals? Do you think that entity loves, hates, or doesn't care about you? How do you know you aren't being manipulated? The Scriptures say we must "test" the spirits so as to not be fooled, and oftentimes I find that these people have never stopped to ask themselves even the most basic of questions about the forces they are dabbling with. Usually they find it troubling to be asked to explain their own beliefs. At this point, I share that I rest assured in my Savior's love and goodness because of the Gospel and His Resurrection. God bless
@LSmoove 79 If Jesus is casting out demons with the power of satan then satan is dividing his kingdom and a divided kingdom cant survive Mark 3:23-26 So basically it separates the power of Jesus and the power of satan because they cant help each other out they work in a way that is in opposition even if it looks similar satan is just copying trying to lure people with lies it's how the satan works. Satan wants to be God and he cant so he tries to get worship from people so he can say well I am like God I accept worship and that's why there is so many similarities because he disguises himself as an angel of light 2 Corinthians 11:12-15 Here it says how his people act like satan who disguises himself as an angel of light thus putting them actions in line with his. The followers of Jesus and the followers of satan are not and cannot be in agreement. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
I studied some witchcraft, never used it but I did learned some spells. The main difference I can feel and see now I'm born again, is that Satan wants you to believe you can use your spells and magic as you wish and believe you have power, while you have none, and it's all temporary and the more "power" or the impression of it you want, demons also ask for more and sometimes it can lead to sacrifices you don't wanna do. The more you go deep into spells and studying it, the more you feel corrupted while feeling pride and insensitive, but deep inside you feel the hurt of loosing your humanity. While the power of the Holy Spirit, first gives you peace, joy and you don't feel powerful because you don't need to, but you feel someone holds your future, your destiny now and all you need to do is obey and it all goes well, even bad things in the end sort out to create better opportunities or learn and become better. So that's the main difference, one which is magic tricks you to believe you're someone special while you're not, it is borrowed power, limited, temporary and always in exchange of something. Holy ghost power is not yours, it's from God but when you are told to use it, you can see real miracles happening that makes you feel humble, glorify God and be more given to be used. I teached this to a youth group when we went to central amercia and they were all surprised when we prayed for homeless kids and people in need we would ask as Jesus asked; What do you want me to do? People were healed from diseases, an arm that was shorter than the other got extended to it's normal length in front of us, kids in their 12, 13 years old were used to do that, imagine how they felt. Great experience for them but also a lesson of humility and a great lesson that God is still doing miracles today, he will sometimes heal people and sometimes he will not, we don't know why but we are commanded to pray and if God"s power manifest it's because he agrees with your prayer request. Satanic magic is there just to harm people and give the impression to who ever uses it that he or she is in power or in command without knowing your soul is at stake and soon or later without Jesus, you'll get to a point of no return, where your soul will be taken away and from there, there is nothing you can do, you are doomed for the eternity, led to hell and deceived from the father of lies.
Only one thing I would add to his list of four, he cast out demons. After Jesus is accused of using the power of Satan (beezelbub) he goes on to say that a kingdom cannot be divided otherwise it would surely fall.
"a kingdom cannot be divided otherwise it would surely fall." Funny how this is happening to America right now. Left vs right, Liberals vs conservatives, republicans vs democrats, Christianity vs progressive Chritianity
@@robbierobinson3412 youre right Robbie, I do have a rebuttal! Jesus said he came to turn brother against brother, father against son etc. This is in reference to following him that people will hate you for doing so. He then continues to say later on but fear not the world for I have overcome the world, referencing his resurrection. The key difference here is the difference in his power. One is following the fathers will (God in heaven) and the other is being accused of using the devils power.
@@Yue4me no one knows god exists not even you, you just assume and presuppose it with zero evidence. The reason I come here is to try and understand why people would so easily believe in something with no evidence to support it. Christians attempt to put creationist ideas in school with zero evidence then say there is zero evidence for eveloutin when they clearly have not looked at the science, even scientists who are Christians say Darwin was correct. There is zero evidence for god or Satan. People suffered mental illnesses and those were mistaken as possession by people who didn't know any better.
@@Yue4me from the sounds of I have studied clearly more then you. Francis Collins a Christian and minister, a physician and genetasis. He lead the human genome project and says Darwin was correct, most chritiatans that actually know the science say eveloution is real. That is me using your side to destroy your argument. I suggest you go open a book besides the bible and learn something.
Great example! Those 4 miracles - sinless, power over nature, power over sickness, power over death are all which separates Jesus from any other religion. It would be wise to follow someone who can do that than someone who can’t!

Don't forget that Jesus also multiplied food, on more than one occasion even. He actually did something like this for me in my life. My workplace has a potluck on our last day before taking off between Christmas and the New Year, and for about two to three years in a row we didn't really have enough food to go around for whatever reason, until one year I asked God to make it an occasion for joy and plenty, and I heard a voice say "so shall it be", and not only that year, but every year after that there has always been more than enough food to go around. It brings me great joy and awe to think back on what God did on that occasion and what he continues to do.
Magic is the use of chants/spells and sometimes includes concoctions such as potions to entice spirits to perform a specific task. Therefore magic is a enticement/plea to get someone/something (spirit) else to perform a desired thing for a desired outcome. In contrast, The Lord Yahshua (Jesus) has authority to command and the power to create/perform, therefore there is no need for spells, chants, potions or any other type of inducement to get a spirit to perform a task. This can be witnessed in the story of the mad man who was possessed by a legion of demons. The demons were commanded to leave the Man and the demons even attempted to negotiate with the Lord Yahshua. The demons did not have a choice and were well aware of Yahshua's ability to destroy them, claiming that it was not yet their time.
I just walked away from 15 years of new age/occult practice. I’m a Christian now. I saw incredible things and miracles takes place in new age, and that’s why I stayed so long. I saw healing that’s stuck, martial powers, and also people controlling weather. The honeymoon phase wore off and I was left beyond confused and not well. The same church I was baptized in 1.5 years ago started getting into occult practices like enneagram, yoga, and teaching the church how to be “prophets.” They called it all “Holy Spirit.” I started to see that my church was inviting the demonic teaching in and didn’t realize it. I have the same question as the woman in the video. How can you tell if it’s Holy Spirit and not demonic, especially when there are true miracles taking place with these false spirits. Confusing times we are in!
This is an important question you ask and one I also wrestle with. I don't really have an answer, other than prayer and sincerely searching for God no matter what. Would be interested to know more about your departure from new age beliefs since I've been on a similar journey leaving both Vedanta and Taoism behind at various stages.
jean michel The cherry on top was ayahuasca. I drank it with a shaman from Brazil. I jumped ship after that traumatic experience, was tormented by those new age spirits I unknowingly collected over the 15 years once becoming a Christian, and was set free 4 months after accepting Christ through water baptism. It was a crazy year to say the least. I’ll send you the testimony.
@@levirush2426 Thanks for replying, and would love to read your full testimony. In my case, in my teens and early twenties I used to study vedanta, eastern philosophy and practice meditation very diligently. I also practiced yoga and worshiped Hindu deities. Initially, I had a feeling of inner peace and calm -- but overtime I was plagued by depression, sadness, lustful thoughts, and even began hearing voices in my head. At the time I thought it was medical schizophrenia, but now I recognise that I was being attacked by demonic entities. In despair, I abandoned religion in my mid to late twenties and became agnostic/atheist, but I was filled with numbness. I fell back on eastern spirituality around 2015, but depression continued to plague me. I desperately searched for God in the eastern faiths, but in the end, the deities I prayed to turned against me, controlled my thoughts, and I became suicidal in 2018. It was at this point that an amazing Christian woman who knew nothing about me entered my life, and she was able to accurately identify and expose the demonic forces working against me. I surrendered my life to Jesus in 2018 and things have never been the same since. When I surrendered to Jesus, I experienced demonic attacks like never before. I was repeatedly visited by an evil sucubus spirit who would rape me at night and give me bad dreams. But thanks to sincerely seeking God, taking refuge in Jesus, and constant prayer, my life has changed for the better. I still get attacked sometimes, but I know that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
jean michel What a testimony! Have you posted your story on UA-cam yet? I can relate with a few things in your story. When I became a Christian I was attacked for 4 months straight. The intrusive thoughts were unbearable and the nighttime attacks were like something out of a movie. I practiced Flying Phoenix Qigong for several years and I believe those spirits were very difficult to get rid of and they still come knocking at times. Have you been baptized?
@@levirush2426 I haven't a posted a full testimony yet, this is really the first time I've shared part of my testimony. Believe it or not, that was the short version and there was so much more that took place. It was beyond crazy. Like you said, the demonic attacks were like something out of a horror movie. I've not been water baptized yet, and I understand that it's a full commitment that needs to be done and taken seriously. I want to be baptised once I've completed a serious study of the entire Bible which I'm currently studying, and I want my commitment to the LORD to be fully informed by his word. Baptism is definitely something I've been praying for and seeking help with -- I don't belong to any church denomination and have trust issues with large organisations, but I'm craving for Jesus to fully immerse me in the Holy Spirit. I know he will do this when the time is right. I read from the Bible daily and try to remain in a state of grace. I have two amazing Christian friends, as well as my sister who has been helping me grow in faith daily. I'm quite a damaged soul, lots of healing to do, so it's a much slower process for me but I pray and have faith that Christ will take care of me. Just knowing that he is real, and that he cares, takes all the burdens away from me. It's an incredible feeling that I just can't explain.
I am so grateful for this program. Gives me truth to answer those who are believers and unbelievers. God is our ultimate answer, so turn to Him always. Grateful for Cross Examined. 👵
Jesus taught that we know whether a tree is good or bad by its fruit. So we have to ask whether the miracle honors God, bringing praise and attention to his name, or does it somehow distract from God and reinforce the thought that we can do things apart from God.
The fruit referred to is the false teachers word's, are they teaching what the word of God says or adding/subtracting to it. They are wolves in sheep's clothing, the outer appearance is of a Christian, they will have good works and look the part, but inside are ravenous wolves, because they speak heresies and blasphemy against the most high, they bring it in secretly so you are unaware, that's what makes them so dangerous. But your end will be as theirs if you listen to them. Think of the health and wealth preachers...
No. The most amazing is Jesus Christ and not some fallible man, no matter how well-spoken the man is. “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”- Colossians 2:8. All glory is to God only. If you’re a Christian, please read the scriptures daily. Blessings.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 King James Version (KJV) 18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you But let me guess, you don't believe in/follow that part of the Bible do you?
@@somerandom3247 Regardless what you and I think of this, this scripture is referring to the old covenant of moses law that applied to the isrealities in that specific timeline... Are you impying that gods wrong for allowing this because I disagree!
I am a Christian who majored in religious studies, and in college I took classes, and came across the same kinds of questions this young lady brings up. I would explain it this way.. In the sermon on the mount, it says the crowds were astonished, because Jesus did not teach like the scribes and Pharisees, but as one having authority. I think it works the same way when it comes to preternatural/supernatural forces. Sure, for the atheist/agnostic/outsider, there is not an immediately obvious difference between 'miracles' and 'magic' (to put it very simply). But when a sorcerer/medium/witch or other attempts 'signs and wonders', it is always an attempt to control/manipulate something outside of and other than one self (which, when dealing with spiritual forces we cannot see, and have such little understanding of, is precisely why witchcraft and other practices are so dangerous). Whereas for Christ, 'all authority in Heaven and on Earth' have been given to Him. He taught as one having authority - not as one trying to wield/use some other knowledge. And when He called Lazarus forth, or raised the widow's son, or healed the centurion's servant, He did it of His own internal resources, of His own authority, not as one trying to manipulate outside forces.
I've never heard of this guy who's on stage, but he seems to know what he's talking about.... I normally watch a lot of "Give Me An Answer". If anyone is reading this, i strongly recommend it. Its a guy named Cliffe Knechtle who appears on college campuses and answers all the students questions about God and the Bible. He is VERY wise when it comes to explaining biblical things. There are many more than 100 episodes, its very interesting. Look it up, and God bless... PRAISE YESHUA.
My favorite magic trick has the magician sawing in two a volunteer from the audience. Normally that would instantly kill someone but the volunteer not only lived but had her two halves put back together again and she walked away almost as though she had never actually been sawed in two.
Jason Meyers - that is not real magic illusion at best, no one is actually sawed in half. The real magic is when demons and spirits get involved such as in the case of Chris Angel and his magic.
@@williamstanley765 says: *The real magic is when demons and spirits get involved such as in the case of Chris Angel and his magic.* What makes you think that demons and spirits are involved in Chris Angel's magic instead of being an illusion of some kind?
true,both are real but we can see in job and in the temptations over Jesus that God has the ultimate authority where we can see that satan goes to God first and ask for permission.
Frank Turek, there’s a 5th category - time. When Jesus changed water into wine, it would have required him to operate outside of time since good wine is aged and not instant like kool aid or tea.
@Nontobeko Ncube correct, which is why it is unforgivable you can't be redeemed once you've sold your rights to your life. And if you don't think its possible then why did satan tempt Jesus with all of the kindgdoms of the earth if he just bowed down to him (sold out to him).
A great book on this subject is called, *"The Beautiful Side of Evil"* by Johanna Michaelsen (her testimony is also available on UA-cam). She was deep into living for a false Jesus and dealt in all kinds of demonic signs and even supernatural healings of physical ailments, which mostly took place down in Latin America. If anybody is interested, just search the title on YT and watch/listen to her testimony about being saved out from that deception.
chris sonofpear1 - Not sure what you're asking or why you're asking it, but there are lying signs and wonders that come from satanic realm, which are intended to deceive people and lead them away from the true and Living God, Jesus Christ. There is power for signs and wonders in the spiritual realm, which is why we are told to test the spirits and be grounded in the word of God. One example in the bible is when Pharaoh's magicians that mimicked what Moses did with his staff in order to convince Pharaoh that he was speaking for God.
@@lsubslimed And for other religions, and if they are 'lying signs', etc? As well as why these disloyal beings keep any such powers? And did not Moses also learn a lot from the Egyptians?
I would think it was not too obscure, why I was asking - why would God put any souls into jeopardy, at all? Not just of having to choose good from evil (fair enough, if sometimes abstract) but to choose from competing models of good? And trustworthiness? And what if the idea of God sacrificing himself to Himself is inimical, to say, most Jews, and He knew that?
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. Mark 3:25-26
I have seen miracles when doctors say some one may not make it an still is here that’s a miracle to me, I think many people just miss the miracles that happen around them, we all need more miracles theses days thanks an praises to you Christ Jesus
Satanic magic: *has a whole set up & needs worldly/material objects like cards or elixirs or something physical to make work* Godly Miracles: “Be clean. Walk again. You will never bear fruit again.” *Done*
Star of the demon king Ashmedai has 6 points and is made of gold. 1 Kings 11:4 For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David. 1 Kings 11:7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. Amos 5:26 You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols,The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves. Acts 7:43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of your god Remphan, Images which you made to worship; And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’ 1 Kings 10:14 The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, 2 Chronicles 9:13 The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, Rev 13:17-18 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

@@Dominick7 Sorry, youtube doesn't tell me when people comment. You're asking the right question. Their is no Star of David in the bible.. actually, kind of insulting to call it star of David since David wasn't a idol worshiper... its actually the Seal of Solomon, but if we get into that we have to know Solomon went after other gods when he was old.
I honestly have thought for a very long time that the so called Star of David that's on the Israeli flag, is truly the star of the false gods the LORD warned his people of. If you count the points starting from the interior to the exterior, the sum is 6 in each one, there's a total of 3 layers in which you add and it's 666.
Chosen By God Not By Man - That’s right. The star on the Israeli flag is the star of Remphan. You are pointing out a very good observation of the numbers on the star.
this was a good question. it was not necessarily a matter of doubting God's power but of understanding if the Satanists or witches actually perform miracles. I guess the example he gave of Moses and the Magicians in Exodus was pretty good and explained that they can perform miracles but they can only replicate to a limited extent. GOD has the ultimate power, his Sovereign!!
You will all be sorted by the amount of compassion one chooses to have. There are many hell's and humanity will be sorted by the compassion they desire. Believe what you wilt, I will not spend eternity with cowards or pretenders.
Jesus performed miracles that benefited those he performed them for and to prove He was God. They weren't a slight of hand or trickery. Magic is fake and deceives.
Thomas Harp PRESTIDIGITATION - a man makes a playing card SEEM to appear from nowhere. MAGIC - a man makes a playing card appear from nowhere for REAL. MIRACLE - Jesus makes a playing card appear from nowhere for REAL? Anyway, two of the three are non existent. Can you guess which two?
What I like about Tolkien's The Lord of the Ring is that magic isn't like in Harry Potter, moving objects, good and bad magic, and a kind of gnosis per se. However magic in LOTR is more angelic and there is no emphasis on the power of magic and it's owner, like Gandalf isn't powerful because he learnt the secret Magick with a dark lord, but because he is by virtue an angelic being (Mäya).

To a skeptic/athiest satanic miracles or Godly miracles are one and the same and that is because they do not believe in the spiritual world and therefore cannot even began to see the difference. You have to believe that there exists a spiritual realm to begin to see the difference. God's methods and satan's methods when it comes to spiritual manifestations and miracles, are different. Satan uses craft, we use the Word of God in the name of Jesus. God's miracles liberate a person physically and spiritually, Satan's miracles enslave (because they are contingent on you selling your soul to him). God's power is limitless, Satan's power has a limit that is why he uses deception to make himself look more powerful than he really is.
Spirit of God does miracles, not men. I just wish people would actually read the bible once in awhile.. thats why its gone to total crap. John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. 1 Cor 12:7-11 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Michael Hudson, Guess what else they'd learn if they actually studied the bible? Numerous contradictions in the gospels such as the two completely different infancy narratives in Luke 2 and Matthew 2 that had Jesus born at different times. Or Luke 24 which has Jesus first post resurrection appearance in Jerusalem and Matthew 28 which has it in Galilee. Couldn't be both. Someone screwed up. Was it God's inspiration that was incorrect?
@@todbeard8118 Where does it say that Jesus birth accounts on Luke and Matthew are different times though? The authors definitely wrote in different details but none of it contradicts. They actually add to each other on the account of His birth.
@@todbeard8118 Jesus resurrection on Matthew 28 and Luke 24 don't contradict, just additional detail given by Luke. On Matthew 28, the Angel was talking to the women, telling them where they can see the risen Jesus. He doesn't say that it's where He will first appear.
@@nessz885 Have you read them? If you read Luke 2 Joseph and Mary travel from their home in Nazareth to Judea for a census. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. Mary goes through the Rites of Purification and about a month later, they return home to Nazareth. That's it. Matthew 2 has them residing in Judea. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. Joseph takes Jesus and Mary, they flee to Egypt to escape Herod's killing of the newborns. They live in Egypt until Herod dies. Then on their return to Judea, they learn Herod's son Archelaus is ruling Judea so they withdrew to Galilee and went to live in Nazareth. These stories are nothing alike. First Luke 2 has the holy family originally residing in Nazareth. Matthew 2 has them residing in Judea then on their return to Judea from Egypt, since Archelaus was ruling, they went to live in Nazareth. In Luke 2:1-7 it tells you Jesus was born during the census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Quirinius was appointed governor of Syria in 6 AD. Matthew 2:1 tells you Jesus was born during the time of Herod. Herod died in 4 BC. Bit of a time difference for the birth of Jesus don't you think?

The Father is the mind I think, Jesus is the very flesh of God, and the Holy Spirit? The very soul of God. What a gift it is to have His Spirit!
Regarding miracles, I think it is incredibly important to note a couple points people often forget: 1. That since miracles are by definition finite occurrences, we cannot infer an infinite/omnipotent power from them. The most we could reasonably infer from them is the existence of some kind of spiritual entity/entities with some degree of power. 2. If the harmony of nature's laws is evidence for the existence of God, then miracles, or the disharmony of nature's laws, count as evidence against the existence of God. Those who argue both both that the harmony of nature proves God and that the disharmony of nature proves God are trying to have their cake and eat it. They are forced to abandon at least one of those arguments.
Magic is the art and science to cause change according to one's own will. Their motto is "do what you want". Christianity is all about obeying and doing God's will. Very good question she asked. Also, we need the Holy Spirit and gift of discernment. I was a bit precautious about a certain ministry where we went. Prayed and thought a lot about it. At the event I saw a person with bad teeth and a deformed mouth growing teeth and mouth being reshaped under the power of Jesus Christ. I saw a video of a woman who couldn't hear becayse doctors took out her eardrums and other essential parts in her ear. After prayer her ear was restored. I believe these kind of creative miracles can only be done by God, the creator of the universe. Satan can copy and deceive a lot.. but he is not able to grow teeth or restore an ear. This can only be done by the Creator of the heavens and the earth.. and His Name is Jesus Christ, Alpha and Omega. Hallelujah!
The devil and his demons must be dumb if they use their magic to direct people to the truth rather than away from the truth (and I know that they are not dumb because they are ancient beings that know what humans desire).
Both Jesus and sorcerors use the power of Spoken Words to affect their surroundings. The only differences are that Christ works within the divine morality of Love while evil people do not limit themselves to righteous means and ends.
Interesting that you call other magic "hocus pocus" because that phrase came from the latin phrase, "Hoc est corpus meum" which means "This is my body." It was first used by the Church during Mass or Communion as they really believed that they could turn the wine and bread into blood and flesh. It wasn't until the 1600s when the word started being associated with "dark magic" due to the mass witch hysteria at the time.
Music by A.D: Jesus also mentioned that we will have the same power that he has and more through the Holy Spirit, this is written in the New Testament.
And this is this type of stuff that happens when you start ignoring the scripture and making up your own stuff... Something the Catholic Church has been known for doing for centuries.
Hello Frank, loved your videos for years now. In this video you mentioned 4 things were miracles of Jesus But Satan hsa can control over death and the weather according to scripture... Any thoughts on these verses? The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:10-11 KJV The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 1 Corinthians 15:26 KJV And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord . And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Job 1:12-19 KJV I also believe that in the old testament when fire came from heaven this was Satan's doing... Trying to receive worship as God. What leads me to believe this is that the people all fell down to worship after this sign. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. Luke 9:54-56 KJV Let's study this sometime God willing
While Satan has those abilities, they arent constant and omnipotent, he is still restrained by God, and allowed to use his power where God ALLOWS him to.
Right off the bat a scripture came to me about Jesus, when He cast out demons from someone and was accused of being in league with Satan. And Jesus said something along the lines of "Satan cannot cast out Satan. For any kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is surely upon you." Therefore, I do not believe that Satan can do ANYTHING that will work against his goal. Casting out a demon is not much different than, say, healing someone. Especially when the Bible states that there are demons which cause physical illnesses and suffering.
hmmm yes ... tis the time when Jesus cast out the demon (Beelzebub) .. Jesus was accused as a practitioner of black arts and such consider his works as work of the devil... tis the basis of exorcism today ... many Priest ( particularly who specializes in exorcism ) use the name of Jesus Christ to expel these evil ... (for all evil are scared of his name e.g. belzebub (talks between satan and belzebub)) ... I have a real life experience about exorcism .... when I was at high School at that time ... it was night or at dusk at that time . Fr. Toni was our parish priest at that time ... I cant believe what I saw .. a woman levitating (horizntally at least 1-2 feat in the air) - it was almost after the mass ended when it happened ... how it that even possible ? (I said to myself )... Its a good thing that me and my Mother were a bit far to that possessed woman ... Fr. Toni was shocked of what happened ... then after that he began to exorcise the devil. ..he spray holy water then said some latin verses ... and said in Jesus Name! the woman began to slowly going down.. after the possession Fr. Toni talked to the woman what she experienced ...
Many pastor dont believe such thing as possession and evil spirits (white lady and such) like the Pastor in our neighbor (Southern Baptish Church ) until he sees one for himself ... it was night at that time ... he was laying down on a bamboo bed ... while thinking of what he ll say for tom. mass .. he saw a floating white lady in the sky that pass through .. he was startled and quickly sits down and then go inside his house ... lol it made me laugh a bit (and thought about those kind of things in my head - e.g. vampires ghoul, etc and pitied them a bit and hope that God would forgive them for their sins even if they become an incarnation of evil .. for God s mercy is boundless and infinite... and also thought about satan that he should stop being prideful and doing all those evil things and go ask for God s love and mercy (my thoughts when I has in high school ) when he told that story to my mother and my mother to me... for God created all and said it was good. Jesus I trust in thee ...
@@matthewhavemercyonmeimasin1500 An interesting experience. I don't know much about Catholicism, but there is definitely power in His name. In fact, I do not think you can expel demons without invoking the name of Christ. But you have to ask yourself: how did the unclean spirit enter her in the first place? Did she dabble in the occult, partaking in seemingly innocent things like reading horoscopes? You must find the root of the issue, or else it will surely come back. The occult is like a door into our souls, and it allows many unclean things to enter. But when you repent and trust in the Lord, and this door will be slammed shut. Or, in tough cases, only prayer works. Probably because the individual is unrepentant.
@@matthewhavemercyonmeimasin1500 Also, I prefer to call "demon possession" demonize. It's the closest translation to the original Greek word, δαιμονίζομαι (daimonizomai). Demonize means to have a demonic influence. For example, a Christian cannot be possessed by a devil, since we are essentially the property of God. He, and He alone, possess us. However, we can all be influenced by demonic forces, or demonized. Although the word "possessed" can also be a figure of speech. Anyways, if somebody does not believe in being demonized, then they do not believe in Jesus. They do not believe in His ministry.
But how about all these "alternative" healing methods (e.g. by witch docters, eastern medicine) which a lotta people claim to have been really healed by? Can someone explain this to me please?
ExcitingOnion not if it’s Reiki or some other satanic power. If people are preaching the Gospel and telling people about Jesus and healing the sick like Jesus said we would do as disciples, then it’s God.
When Satan reanimates the "Beast," he's not reanimating a living being, but restoring a religio-political system as a "Beast" is a Biblical symbol for "kingdom."
@Manifest-Easy I agree that the man of sin/son of perdition is a single man. I think of the first beast, the beast out of the sea, as the empire. The second beast I think of as a man - the antichrist. Not only does the false prophet match the description of the antichrist given in 2 Thessalonians 2, but also consider that when used symbolically, you'd understand the sea to be the multitudes, nations... Daniel 7 has the four beasts rising out of the sea just as the beast of Revelation (which is the same as the little horn of Daniel 7) does. When I think of the Earth being used symbolically, I think of God's creation of man - dust of the Earth. Curiously, the mark of the beast, which is the number of his name, is called the number of a man.
If it is a real person, I bet that Satan being the greatest scientist ever could probably make something to help substain the beasts life after a horrific injury, kinda like a Darth Vader suit
Spells and miracles rely on the same logical supposition that we aren't meant to understand. Her qualms about spells vs. miracles was a very honest moral issue. Good for her. Sad he is compelled to have an answer for the issue.
indeed. What we need to know about satan and his tools of deception is found in the bible and thats enough. God dont want us to even "sniff" around demonic stuff. Its better to just leave it alone.
Always Honest ok...I’m not since my last surgeon is also a magician that can perform over 50 magic tricks...how do you know Jesus did anything you claim?
Not everyone is practiced at standing in front of a bunch of strangers to ask a personal spiritual question to a well-known scholar. I think it’s best to give the girl a break
Idk? what I am, but I like the whole philosophy of being the righteous ones all while being outnumbered , as the Bible says or predicted. It's soothing to know that , when I feel: outnumbered , and attacked or accused of things or being compared to others. I tell myself that and it helps "sometimes".
The occult has power to bring it to pass but in the long run you will not like the final outcome. One place I consulted they went to a psychic that said they would all get raises and they did but eventually the place they all worked went out of business. Also I did a prayer and visualization that healed but the problem was keeping me from a worse problem and I got into worse trouble but I do not even do visualization which is like hypnosis ever again. The Lord eventually healed the worse problem. I thank God he had mercy on me a new believer.
I guess the answer demonic signs are real and the bible in the Old and New testament reveals this , but the demonic signs can not be as signs of Christian miracles in the Quality and Frequency , it can not heal the sick or cast out demons (as they accused Jesus of) or resurrect someone from the dead even if it claimed falsely but demons are liars its bot true healing or casting demons in its essence its deception, Check the evidence for Christianity and i mentioned the most popular miracles but seriously miracles occurs daily with believers and non believers , check this : ⬇️ Some Evidence for Christianity 📜Ancient (1st and 2nd Century) Non Christian Sources confirmed Jesus' Crucifixion and that he was worshiped as (Josephus , Cornelius Tacitus , Lucian , Gaius Sueotenios , Pliny the younger , Babylonian Talmud and Celsus ..) all of them in there writings were against Christians and Jesus though they mention his Crucifixion under pontius pilate (Tacitus) and he was worshiped as GOD as the bible says. 🌈Evidence for resurrection of Jesus that his Tomb is empty thats a big question mark and the agreement of the disciple of Jesus that they get killed and be martyrs for their testimony that they saw that Jesus resurrected from the dead so if they made up this lie (about The Risen Jesus) then when it comes to give up their own lives i guess some of them will confess that they lied and won't die for it !! even Saul of Tarsus who was persecuting Christians converted to Christianity after seeing Jesus vision and got beheaded in Rome under Nero another one of them is mentioned in Josephus Jewish antiquities he is James brother of Jesus that get stoned by the Jews for testifying for Jesus' resurrection. 🌈Prophecies that is historically proven aside from Isaiah scroll of dead sea scroll (150 BC) chapter 53 that predicted the death and refusal of Jesus and that on him God laid upon him our iniquities (Cross) ... Check Psalms 22:16 they pierced my hands and my feet they found this fragment in Qumran (BC) and in Nahal hever 50-65 AD and it was they pierced my hands and my feet not like a lion , this prophecy is fullfiled historically outside the bible as we said esrlier that there are 10 non-Christian ancient sources at that time that proves Jesus Crucifixion, so what more evidence than that. 🌈 if Miracles r true then Jesus Christ is the only true God search modern day miracles as 1) Our Lady Of Zeitoun (Apparition of Saint Mary above the church of Zeitoun, Egypt this Miracle occurred in 1968 (when there were no laser or hologram used) millions of people witnessed this from many religions all over the world , newspaper in Egypt and America published many miraculous healings of Muslims and Christians in this event (you can check) , white doves flying at night above the church which is unusual that white doves fly at night and they were luminous , this was the greatest event and apparition of Saint Mary that really proofs Christianity and it was above the cross of the church many other apparitons of St.Mary in Egypt as 2)Our lady of Warraq to more than 200,000 Muslims and Christians (you can see the video on youtube how Mary appeared as her icon blue cloak and inner white dress and yellowish halo) 3)Apparition of Saint Mary in Shubra 1986 also all over the world Mary appears as in 4)Our Lady of Fatima,Portugal 1917 5)our lady of Lourdes,France (5000 miraculous healings and 67 authentic) 5) Our Lady of Guadalupe 1531 and the Miraculous image on the Tilma 🌈Also one of the greatest events that occurs every year in Jerusalem in the Church of Resurrection since the early centuries and it's the MIRACLE OF HOLY FIRE bright white light emanates from the empty tomb of Jesus and it doesn't burn for few minutes you can go and check it by yourself some said it's white phosphorus but if we read about white phosphorus in Wikipedia you will find it burns severely and the history of this miracle Muslims wrote about it there were no match or chemical invention . 🌈check also icon of Saint Mary in port said Egypt that streams Oil that has fragrant aroma and made many miraculous healings with many people believers and unbelievers occurs every year in February for 29 years till now also you can go and witness as the Holy Fire , many many other things check the saints that their body remained incorrupted without any chemical intervention , check Pope Cyril Vl of how he was a pope known for his miracles in Egypt and all Muslims agree with that same with St. Charbel in Lebanon.... Thats just some of it , again Christian teachings and the gospel message the only one fits my mind and the reality of life , so by exclusion Christianity wins
Watching Frank Turek is like watching William Shatner at a Star Trek convention answering questions on who would win a fight between a Vulcan and a Romulan.
Excellent question, and very good answer. There's also, for those signs and wonders that can be done demonically, a test - what is the sign or wonder trying to do? Does it point to God? Jesus? The Cross and Empty Tomb? Or, does it point to 'man being god' or some other deity or power? What is the message. Weigh the source of the wonder by the message being given with it. That is also useful and should help us discern what is happening and from whom.
Sorry, and why did Satan keep any angelic powers, or access this world, to begin with? Was he intended to keep such powers? Also, concerning the message, which denomination most accurately Discerns the will, and intent, of the Spirit?
@@chrissonofpear1384 I'll answer these in reverse: the gift of discernment is a gift of the Spirit, and no one denomination gets exclusive rights to it. It requires that a believer stay close to Jesus, in reading the word and in prayer, and to walk with the Spirit, being filled by him. Denominational issues are not a factor, although some differences in teaching could make such a process easier or harder. In regards to Satan: when God made us, we were sinless. We had yet to make a choice. Neither had Lucifer at that point. Jesus said of Satan that he was "a liar from the first" and "the father of lies". Satan's first sin was the lie to Eve "You will not surely die." In being the father of lies and the first to sin, Satan became the head over all sin. When Adam and Eve followed after him, they came under his headship and would suffer the exact same fate as him. Therefore, if God had immediately thrown Satan to hell he would have had to do the same to mankind. (Hell is not a place ruled by Lucifer, but rather a place of punishment FOR him) If God were to do it to Satan NOW, most of mankind would be sent right along with him. God's patience with Satan is not for HIS sake, but for OURS. It allowed for God's plan of salvation to be set in motion. It allows more and more time for each of us to make a choice for Jesus. Why was Satan allowed to keep his powers? Why was Adam allowed to keep both his arms? Why was Eve allowed to keep her legs? Whatever is intrinsic to a person or being will remain so. Why was he allowed to sin and thus tempt us to do so? Love requires a choice. If you programmed someone to love you, it wouldn't be love and you couldn't take joy in it. If someone chooses to love you, however, it is beautiful. But the choice to love carries with it the choice to hate. Both must be allowed for either to be meaningful.
J B lol, right? Just casually watches stuff that is apparently pointless? Frank I was led to Christ by experiencing the power of Satan and Demons (Sleep paralysis) and was delivered by the power of Christ. (Never had it ever again)
There’s a difference between a Mystic = using spirits to effect reality and a Magician who uses their Subconscious Mind to effect reality. One uses spirits and the other doesn’t. Is the Magician still wrong because they just use Faith, Affirmations, and then let it go expecting change... isn’t that what christians do? Have Faith, repeat the word of God as affirmation and then believe God to intervene.
I may have misinterpreted his answer but Satan does have power to control climate, as Jesus “rebuked” the wind. Jesus wouldn’t rebuke that if it was of God, but he would rebuke Satan’s work.
Most people who respond as you are doing, have a very limited knowledge of not only Jesus Christ, but the supernatural world and how things operate in that sphere. Sometimes we see statements like you wrote here because you have never had a personal experience or a personal relationship with the Saviour. You wrote "probably," meaning that you are leaving your thinking open; that's a good thing. There is so much evidence for God, the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ, that to try and refute all of it would be a waste of your time. It just can't be done. History, science, our bodies, nature, animals, trees--all living things--were and are proven for thousands of years to have been created by Someone much more intelligent than any of us, who is not bound by our reasoning. Since before time--as we finite humans know it as being--began, a "greater power"--and I use that term apologetically, since I DO believe in God--has created all things we see, way beyond our understanding and reasoning. A simple example is how our bodies work: one minute part of us--be it a neuron, a proton, DNA, RNA, cellular structures, or anything else--receives a foreign substance introduced to it--and it throws our entire body's mental and physical balance off, BUT--we cannot duplicate EXACTLY to the smallest nuclei--the "cure" for it. If we could, then we would eradicate ALL diseases, ALL deformities in and out of the womb, ALL infections that cause things such as MS, Downs syndrome, autism, encephalitis, strokes, heart disease, cancer...and so on. We have scientists who are continuously working towards eradicating these things, yes, but in all the CENTURIES that they have been working, not one of them has been able to completely eradicate these things and the things that befall our bodies and PERMANENTLY remove them from the earth. They just can't do it. Things they thought were gone are back; polio and smallpox for example. They cannot even eradicate the common cold, so how are we to expect that these "experts" can dare compete with the One who created the human race? If we could, then we would be as gods...and we're not. We cannot create life as we know it; we can REPLICATE it, but we cannot create it, for creating something implies that it was created out of nothing. To "make" something implies that the materials were already there to make a thing, but to create? That is from nothing and in God's case, He took thought--and it was. You will then say to me "we have the ability to clone another person;" while that may be true, or not--what we cannot do is instill within that clone a spirit being that is instilled in all of us by our Creator, Who is God. We can replicate a person via cloning--hair color, eye color, height, shoe size, and so on, but we can NEVER instill in a clone or another human being a spirit--our personal spirit, that is instilled in every single human being on earth. That spirit, my friend, is from God and thus is it HIS choice in instilling that spirit into us. No scientist, no magician, no doctor can do that.
Pentecostal Believer S-R - I was christian for 30 years and took it very seriously. I read bible, attended church and prayed regularly. I knew I had a relationship with jesus and god. Through apologetics I got answers on common doubts. And at some point, I was also very convinced about evangelical ideas around spiritual warfare. Then in my 30s, the answers of apologetics, asking religious leaders and online sources just didn’t cut it anymore. The more I investigated and dug, the less likely it seemed to be true and the more questions I got. Eventually after reading books on neuroscience, genetics, cosmology, archaeology and doing some logistics on bible stories, I came to the conclusion that the bible is severely faulty. It took 5 years. And then I knew, the bible is an unrealiable source of information and we simply can’t trust it. I said “probably doesn’t exists” simply to be polite. If there is a god, its certainly not the abrianic god, and neither any of the other religions practiced past or present. IF there is a god, its probably something spinoza’s god, which is essentially the laws that govern the universe. It would take something like the rapture to convince me that god is real.
My Question is Hope to see your answer . I am from India and now our country is suffering from Covid 19 second wave and many of our loved ones church members have died and recently I saw my pastors and elders cremating our member instead of burying as per government order.

I have a friend with the question: how do we KNOW that Jesus’ works and acts actually happened? Also how do we know which religion is “right” or correct to follow and is it even necessary to subscribe to a religion because it seems that the personal relationship with God is more important? Also, my friend would like to know why we have all different religions in China, South Am. USA, etc. and if God knows about these religions? I need support on answering his questions. Help?

I can't blame you because Satan is the fathers of lies but I am really happy because you knew about it finally and you got saved so that's a real blessing for God . Even me in some sort of my life I thought I was possessed and stuff because I well see things that no body in my household will see and I was so terrified and the fact that no one in my family believed me I felt like a psychopath and ill or something . Like something will make me wake up in 3 AM at night and I will speak a language that I don't even know what it is . but anyway God is more powerful and I've put my trust in Him God bless you sister prayers for you 💜
@@youbloodybloodworktimejasper Demons are real but be careful not to blame possession for everything. The heart of an unrepentant sinner is capable of doing plenty of evil sinful things on its own. You know your own heart and history I am not trying to tell you definitively what has happened to you, but I have seen many people who blame demons for every issue in themselves or their lives. I think in some cases it might cause people to not repent of their own sin because they see it as something a demon "made them do" not something they did.
For me, I have had issues with drugs, and I know for sure it was something I did, no one made me do it but me, nothing resisted God's will that I stop using them except my own mind and body.
I am very thankful to God that He protected you from evil forces you opened yourself up to. New Age and magic practices are growing more and more popular, we need Christians who know what that path is like and who can reach the people in that sin and show them the way out through Jesus Christ. If we encounter any evil beings, we rebuke them through faith in the name of Christ.
I use to think satan was "scary" UNTIL I felt the wrath of God (in a out of body experience). Let me just say that satan has nothinggggggg on God. & I mean NOTHING.
will you elaborate on this experience?
Just reading about the white throne judgement and hell, and also through the old testament makes me shake in my boots.
I’ve seen visions like this as well. Very interesting.
I had a dream where I was talking to God. I didn't see Him, but I knew I was talking to Him.
I just remember asking Him: What do you want me to call you? Dad, Father, God?
And I just remember Him giving a chuckle to my question.
Maaaaan you ain't lying.

the power of influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.

Satan is the most powerful, beautiful and intelligent being in creation. That is why he fell, pride.
@@IIIRotor A lot. Satan had perverted many people's hearts and led them to be condemned to death. Think of it like this. God is the Judge and you're on trial for sacrificing children to a statue where they are tossed into a fire. Now God condemns you to death and makes your pay for your sins. But WHO was it that led you to sacrifice children to a pagan statue? It wasn't God. God had written morality on the hearts of Man, but we also have the choice to make choices against God's law. It was Satan that perverted your heart and led you astray despite God's multitude of warnings to not revel in sin. Satan conned you into sinning against and denying God, and God is judging you by your choice to follow the Prince of Lies rather than the Father of Love, Righteousness, and Truth.
God has written, Satan is the Prince of Earth. He is very seductive. He easily can lead you astray if you are not vigilant. Through God is Light and all that is good. Satan is a perverter of all that is good. There is a reason he is called the Great Corrupter. Every sin is a corruption of something Good. If you are not steadfast in your faith, you can lose your way.
We need to prepare more for these kind of questions. Jesus warned that in the end times, Satan will display great signs and wonders to deceive many. With non-believers, I try to approach the topic of magic/new age ideas by asking questions about why they believe what they do: What do you think is behind supernatural power? How do you discern if an entity is good or evil? What are its goals? Do you think that entity loves, hates, or doesn't care about you? How do you know you aren't being manipulated?
The Scriptures say we must "test" the spirits so as to not be fooled, and oftentimes I find that these people have never stopped to ask themselves even the most basic of questions about the forces they are dabbling with. Usually they find it troubling to be asked to explain their own beliefs. At this point, I share that I rest assured in my Savior's love and goodness because of the Gospel and His Resurrection. God bless
This helped. Thank you and God bless!
Thanks
Ask them about Jesus if they deny him they not from God
I am glad there still are people who know what is going on. Most of them are blinded by Satan.

@LSmoove 79 If Jesus is casting out demons with the power of satan then satan is dividing his kingdom and a divided kingdom cant survive
Mark 3:23-26
So basically it separates the power of Jesus and the power of satan because they cant help each other out they work in a way that is in opposition even if it looks similar satan is just copying trying to lure people with lies it's how the satan works. Satan wants to be God and he cant so he tries to get worship from people so he can say well I am like God I accept worship and that's why there is so many similarities because he disguises himself as an angel of light
2 Corinthians 11:12-15
Here it says how his people act like satan who disguises himself as an angel of light thus putting them actions in line with his. The followers of Jesus and the followers of satan are not and cannot be in agreement.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
@LSmoove 79 matthew 12 Jesus basically said that if He was casting out demons by demonic powers that its illogical; satan destroying his own kingdom.
@LSmoove 79 they accused Jesus of being beelzebub that His miracles were from dark powers they were wrong!

Yes, something here is greater than Solomon...
I studied some witchcraft, never used it but I did learned some spells. The main difference I can feel and see now I'm born again, is that Satan wants you to believe you can use your spells and magic as you wish and believe you have power, while you have none, and it's all temporary and the more "power" or the impression of it you want, demons also ask for more and sometimes it can lead to sacrifices you don't wanna do. The more you go deep into spells and studying it, the more you feel corrupted while feeling pride and insensitive, but deep inside you feel the hurt of loosing your humanity. While the power of the Holy Spirit, first gives you peace, joy and you don't feel powerful because you don't need to, but you feel someone holds your future, your destiny now and all you need to do is obey and it all goes well, even bad things in the end sort out to create better opportunities or learn and become better. So that's the main difference, one which is magic tricks you to believe you're someone special while you're not, it is borrowed power, limited, temporary and always in exchange of something. Holy ghost power is not yours, it's from God but when you are told to use it, you can see real miracles happening that makes you feel humble, glorify God and be more given to be used. I teached this to a youth group when we went to central amercia and they were all surprised when we prayed for homeless kids and people in need we would ask as Jesus asked; What do you want me to do? People were healed from diseases, an arm that was shorter than the other got extended to it's normal length in front of us, kids in their 12, 13 years old were used to do that, imagine how they felt. Great experience for them but also a lesson of humility and a great lesson that God is still doing miracles today, he will sometimes heal people and sometimes he will not, we don't know why but we are commanded to pray and if God"s power manifest it's because he agrees with your prayer request. Satanic magic is there just to harm people and give the impression to who ever uses it that he or she is in power or in command without knowing your soul is at stake and soon or later without Jesus, you'll get to a point of no return, where your soul will be taken away and from there, there is nothing you can do, you are doomed for the eternity, led to hell and deceived from the father of lies.
Great testimony and experience. So glad Jesus has rescued you 🥰
So good!! Thanks for sharing!! God bless!
I imagine it takes a bit of bravery to ask that kind of question in front of a public audience. Kudos
Only one thing I would add to his list of four, he cast out demons. After Jesus is accused of using the power of Satan (beezelbub) he goes on to say that a kingdom cannot be divided otherwise it would surely fall.
"a kingdom cannot be divided otherwise it would surely fall." Funny how this is happening to America right now. Left vs right, Liberals vs conservatives, republicans vs democrats, Christianity vs progressive Chritianity
Funny how he also says that he himself (Jesus) came to divide. Luke 12:49. But I'm sure you have some rebuttal for this.
@@robbierobinson3412 youre right Robbie, I do have a rebuttal! Jesus said he came to turn brother against brother, father against son etc. This is in reference to following him that people will hate you for doing so. He then continues to say later on but fear not the world for I have overcome the world, referencing his resurrection.
The key difference here is the difference in his power. One is following the fathers will (God in heaven) and the other is being accused of using the devils power.
Magic will summon demons to carry out a spell. Prayer will call the Holy Spirit and angels.

Don't forget that Jesus also multiplied food, on more than one occasion even. He actually did something like this for me in my life. My workplace has a potluck on our last day before taking off between Christmas and the New Year, and for about two to three years in a row we didn't really have enough food to go around for whatever reason, until one year I asked God to make it an occasion for joy and plenty, and I heard a voice say "so shall it be", and not only that year, but every year after that there has always been more than enough food to go around. It brings me great joy and awe to think back on what God did on that occasion and what he continues to do.

Sooo...God made a way for you to celebrate a pagan holiday that has nothing to do with Christ?
I dont mean to offend you but how do you know that God really spoke to you? What if it was just your imagination?
Magic is the use of chants/spells and sometimes includes concoctions such as potions to entice spirits to perform a specific task. Therefore magic is a enticement/plea to get someone/something (spirit) else to perform a desired thing for a desired outcome.
In contrast, The Lord Yahshua (Jesus) has authority to command and the power to create/perform, therefore there is no need for spells, chants, potions or any other type of inducement to get a spirit to perform a task. This can be witnessed in the story of the mad man who was possessed by a legion of demons. The demons were commanded to leave the Man and the demons even attempted to negotiate with the Lord Yahshua. The demons did not have a choice and were well aware of Yahshua's ability to destroy them, claiming that it was not yet their time.
"Let there be light" magic words
I just walked away from 15 years of new age/occult practice. I’m a Christian now. I saw incredible things and miracles takes place in new age, and that’s why I stayed so long. I saw healing that’s stuck, martial powers, and also people controlling weather.
The honeymoon phase wore off and I was left beyond confused and not well.
The same church I was baptized in 1.5 years ago started getting into occult practices like enneagram, yoga, and teaching the church how to be “prophets.” They called it all “Holy Spirit.”
I started to see that my church was inviting the demonic teaching in and didn’t realize it.
I have the same question as the woman in the video. How can you tell if it’s Holy Spirit and not demonic, especially when there are true miracles taking place with these false spirits.
Confusing times we are in!
This is an important question you ask and one I also wrestle with. I don't really have an answer, other than prayer and sincerely searching for God no matter what. Would be interested to know more about your departure from new age beliefs since I've been on a similar journey leaving both Vedanta and Taoism behind at various stages.
jean michel The cherry on top was ayahuasca. I drank it with a shaman from Brazil. I jumped ship after that traumatic experience, was tormented by those new age spirits I unknowingly collected over the 15 years once becoming a Christian, and was set free 4 months after accepting Christ through water baptism.
It was a crazy year to say the least. I’ll send you the testimony.
@@levirush2426 Thanks for replying, and would love to read your full testimony.
In my case, in my teens and early twenties I used to study vedanta, eastern philosophy and practice meditation very diligently. I also practiced yoga and worshiped Hindu deities. Initially, I had a feeling of inner peace and calm -- but overtime I was plagued by depression, sadness, lustful thoughts, and even began hearing voices in my head. At the time I thought it was medical schizophrenia, but now I recognise that I was being attacked by demonic entities.
In despair, I abandoned religion in my mid to late twenties and became agnostic/atheist, but I was filled with numbness. I fell back on eastern spirituality around 2015, but depression continued to plague me.
I desperately searched for God in the eastern faiths, but in the end, the deities I prayed to turned against me, controlled my thoughts, and I became suicidal in 2018. It was at this point that an amazing Christian woman who knew nothing about me entered my life, and she was able to accurately identify and expose the demonic forces working against me. I surrendered my life to Jesus in 2018 and things have never been the same since. When I surrendered to Jesus, I experienced demonic attacks like never before. I was repeatedly visited by an evil sucubus spirit who would rape me at night and give me bad dreams.
But thanks to sincerely seeking God, taking refuge in Jesus, and constant prayer, my life has changed for the better. I still get attacked sometimes, but I know that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
jean michel What a testimony! Have you posted your story on UA-cam yet?
I can relate with a few things in your story. When I became a Christian I was attacked for 4 months straight. The intrusive thoughts were unbearable and the nighttime attacks were like something out of a movie.
I practiced Flying Phoenix Qigong for several years and I believe those spirits were very difficult to get rid of and they still come knocking at times.
Have you been baptized?
@@levirush2426 I haven't a posted a full testimony yet, this is really the first time I've shared part of my testimony. Believe it or not, that was the short version and there was so much more that took place. It was beyond crazy. Like you said, the demonic attacks were like something out of a horror movie.
I've not been water baptized yet, and I understand that it's a full commitment that needs to be done and taken seriously. I want to be baptised once I've completed a serious study of the entire Bible which I'm currently studying, and I want my commitment to the LORD to be fully informed by his word. Baptism is definitely something I've been praying for and seeking help with -- I don't belong to any church denomination and have trust issues with large organisations, but I'm craving for Jesus to fully immerse me in the Holy Spirit. I know he will do this when the time is right. I read from the Bible daily and try to remain in a state of grace. I have two amazing Christian friends, as well as my sister who has been helping me grow in faith daily.
I'm quite a damaged soul, lots of healing to do, so it's a much slower process for me but I pray and have faith that Christ will take care of me. Just knowing that he is real, and that he cares, takes all the burdens away from me. It's an incredible feeling that I just can't explain.

I am so grateful for this program. Gives me truth to answer those who are believers and unbelievers. God is our ultimate answer, so turn to Him always. Grateful for Cross Examined. 👵
Loved hearing of this new question and new answer.
Jesus taught that we know whether a tree is good or bad by its fruit. So we have to ask whether the miracle honors God, bringing praise and attention to his name, or does it somehow distract from God and reinforce the thought that we can do things apart from God.
The fruit referred to is the false teachers word's, are they teaching what the word of God says or adding/subtracting to it. They are wolves in sheep's clothing, the outer appearance is of a Christian, they will have good works and look the part, but inside are ravenous wolves, because they speak heresies and blasphemy against the most high, they bring it in secretly so you are unaware, that's what makes them so dangerous. But your end will be as theirs if you listen to them. Think of the health and wealth preachers...
Spoken with true heavenly wisdom!
There are many pointless priests, pastors, preachers, worshippers etc, and finally, then there's this amazinging dude
No. The most amazing is Jesus Christ and not some fallible man, no matter how well-spoken the man is. “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”- Colossians 2:8. All glory is to God only. If you’re a Christian, please read the scriptures daily. Blessings.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 King James Version (KJV)
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you

@@somerandom3247 Regardless what you and I think of this, this scripture is referring to the old covenant of moses law that applied to the isrealities in that specific timeline... Are you impying that gods wrong for allowing this because I disagree!
I am a Christian who majored in religious studies, and in college I took classes, and came across the same kinds of questions this young lady brings up. I would explain it this way..
In the sermon on the mount, it says the crowds were astonished, because Jesus did not teach like the scribes and Pharisees, but as one having authority.
I think it works the same way when it comes to preternatural/supernatural forces.
Sure, for the atheist/agnostic/outsider, there is not an immediately obvious difference between 'miracles' and 'magic' (to put it very simply).
But when a sorcerer/medium/witch or other attempts 'signs and wonders', it is always an attempt to control/manipulate something outside of and other than one self (which, when dealing with spiritual forces we cannot see, and have such little understanding of, is precisely why witchcraft and other practices are so dangerous).
Whereas for Christ, 'all authority in Heaven and on Earth' have been given to Him. He taught as one having authority - not as one trying to wield/use some other knowledge. And when He called Lazarus forth, or raised the widow's son, or healed the centurion's servant, He did it of His own internal resources, of His own authority, not as one trying to manipulate outside forces.
I've never heard of this guy who's on stage, but he seems to know what he's talking about.... I normally watch a lot of "Give Me An Answer". If anyone is reading this, i strongly recommend it. Its a guy named Cliffe Knechtle who appears on college campuses and answers all the students questions about God and the Bible. He is VERY wise when it comes to explaining biblical things. There are many more than 100 episodes, its very interesting. Look it up, and God bless...

Ikr cliff is so good too
My favorite magic trick has the magician sawing in two a volunteer from the audience. Normally that would instantly kill someone but the volunteer not only lived but had her two halves put back together again and she walked away almost as though she had never actually been sawed in two.
Jason Meyers - that is not real magic illusion at best, no one is actually sawed in half. The real magic is when demons and spirits get involved such as in the case of Chris Angel and his magic.
What a miracle!!!
Do you really think it's a random person in the audience?
@@williamstanley765 says: *The real magic is when demons and spirits get involved such as in the case of Chris Angel and his magic.*
What makes you think that demons and spirits are involved in Chris Angel's magic instead of being an illusion of some kind?
@@danielblair4413 lol have you seen him do magic? Illusions is to easy of an answer it has to be demons that help him.
One obvious difference is the authority, no? Both are, too an extent, real.
true,both are real but we can see in job and in the temptations over Jesus that God has the ultimate authority where we can see that satan goes to God first and ask for permission.
Both authorities are real. The only way to deal with Satan is with the Word of God. Like Jesus shows us in the gospels.
Frank Turek, there’s a 5th category - time. When Jesus changed water into wine, it would have required him to operate outside of time since good wine is aged and not instant like kool aid or tea.
The holy sprirt was mistaken for this. It's why it's the only sin that can't be forgiven is to mock the holy ghost
The unforgivable sin is selling your soul.
@Nontobeko Ncube correct, which is why it is unforgivable you can't be redeemed once you've sold your rights to your life. And if you don't think its possible then why did satan tempt Jesus with all of the kindgdoms of the earth if he just bowed down to him (sold out to him).
A great book on this subject is called, *"The Beautiful Side of Evil"* by Johanna Michaelsen (her testimony is also available on UA-cam). She was deep into living for a false Jesus and dealt in all kinds of demonic signs and even supernatural healings of physical ailments, which mostly took place down in Latin America. If anybody is interested, just search the title on YT and watch/listen to her testimony about being saved out from that deception.
Okay - and again, why do they RETAIN any of these powers?
chris sonofpear1 - Not sure what you're asking or why you're asking it, but there are lying signs and wonders that come from satanic realm, which are intended to deceive people and lead them away from the true and Living God, Jesus Christ. There is power for signs and wonders in the spiritual realm, which is why we are told to test the spirits and be grounded in the word of God. One example in the bible is when Pharaoh's magicians that mimicked what Moses did with his staff in order to convince Pharaoh that he was speaking for God.
@@lsubslimed And for other religions, and if they are 'lying signs', etc?
As well as why these disloyal beings keep any such powers?
And did not Moses also learn a lot from the Egyptians?
I would think it was not too obscure, why I was asking - why would God put any souls into jeopardy, at all? Not just of having to choose good from evil (fair enough, if sometimes abstract) but to choose from competing models of good? And trustworthiness? And what if the idea of God sacrificing himself to Himself is inimical, to say, most Jews, and He knew that?
Thanks for the book recommendation.
Sooo good preach it Frank ✝️💜🔥

@@Dominick7 Sorry, youtube doesn't tell me when people comment. You're asking the right question. Their is no Star of David in the bible.. actually, kind of insulting to call it star of David since David wasn't a idol worshiper... its actually the Seal of Solomon, but if we get into that we have to know Solomon went after other gods when he was old.
I honestly have thought for a very long time that the so called Star of David that's on the Israeli flag, is truly the star of the false gods the LORD warned his people of. If you count the points starting from the interior to the exterior, the sum is 6 in each one, there's a total of 3 layers in which you add and it's 666.

Educate yourself once in awhile with God's Bible, you might not believe in Jesus, but you better believe in what im telling u
To a skeptic/athiest satanic miracles or Godly miracles are one and the same and that is because they do not believe in the spiritual world and therefore cannot even began to see the difference. You have to believe that there exists a spiritual realm to begin to see the difference. God's methods and satan's methods when it comes to spiritual manifestations and miracles, are different. Satan uses craft, we use the Word of God in the name of Jesus. God's miracles liberate a person physically and spiritually, Satan's miracles enslave (because they are contingent on you selling your soul to him). God's power is limitless, Satan's power has a limit that is why he uses deception to make himself look more powerful than he really is.
Spirit of God does miracles, not men. I just wish people would actually read the bible once in awhile.. thats why its gone to total crap.
John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
1 Cor 12:7-11 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

@@nessz885
Have you read them?
If you read Luke 2 Joseph and Mary travel from their home in Nazareth to Judea for a census. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. Mary goes through the Rites of Purification and about a month later, they return home to Nazareth. That's it.
Matthew 2 has them residing in Judea. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. Joseph takes Jesus and Mary, they flee to Egypt to escape Herod's killing of the newborns.
They live in Egypt until Herod dies.
Then on their return to Judea, they learn Herod's son Archelaus is ruling Judea so they withdrew to Galilee and went to live in Nazareth.
These stories are nothing alike.
First Luke 2 has the holy family originally residing in Nazareth.
Matthew 2 has them residing in Judea then on their return to Judea from Egypt, since Archelaus was ruling, they went to live in Nazareth.
In Luke 2:1-7 it tells you Jesus was born during the census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Quirinius was appointed governor of Syria in 6 AD.
Matthew 2:1 tells you Jesus was born during the time of Herod. Herod died in 4 BC.
Bit of a time difference for the birth of Jesus don't you think?

I am never impressed by any magic or miracles.
Whether someone's words match scripture is what impresses me
Regarding miracles, I think it is incredibly important to note a couple points people often forget:
1. That since miracles are by definition finite occurrences, we cannot infer an infinite/omnipotent power from them. The most we could reasonably infer from them is the existence of some kind of spiritual entity/entities with some degree of power.
2. If the harmony of nature's laws is evidence for the existence of God, then miracles, or the disharmony of nature's laws, count as evidence against the existence of God. Those who argue both both that the harmony of nature proves God and that the disharmony of nature proves God are trying to have their cake and eat it. They are forced to abandon at least one of those arguments.

Magic is the art and science to cause change according to one's own will. Their motto is "do what you want". Christianity is all about obeying and doing God's will.
Very good question she asked. Also, we need the Holy Spirit and gift of discernment. I was a bit precautious about a certain ministry where we went. Prayed and thought a lot about it. At the event I saw a person with bad teeth and a deformed mouth growing teeth and mouth being reshaped under the power of Jesus Christ. I saw a video of a woman who couldn't hear becayse doctors took out her eardrums and other essential parts in her ear. After prayer her ear was restored. I believe these kind of creative miracles can only be done by God, the creator of the universe. Satan can copy and deceive a lot.. but he is not able to grow teeth or restore an ear. This can only be done by the Creator of the heavens and the earth.. and His Name is Jesus Christ, Alpha and Omega. Hallelujah!

That was a great response by Frank but he never answered the question of, how do you know if it comes from God or evil if evil can be deceiving.
The devil and his demons must be dumb if they use their magic to direct people to the truth rather than away from the truth (and I know that they are not dumb because they are ancient beings that know what humans desire).
It comes from God if the signs direct people to Him, it does not come from God if the signs direct people away from Him.
Both Jesus and sorcerors use the power of Spoken Words to affect their surroundings.
The only differences are that Christ works within the divine morality of Love while
evil people do not limit themselves to righteous means and ends.
Lot of reaching on her part, but she was playing “devils advocate “...
Exactly
Interesting that you call other magic "hocus pocus" because that phrase came from the latin phrase, "Hoc est corpus meum" which means "This is my body." It was first used by the Church during Mass or Communion as they really believed that they could turn the wine and bread into blood and flesh. It wasn't until the 1600s when the word started being associated with "dark magic" due to the mass witch hysteria at the time.
Music by A.D: Jesus also mentioned that we will have the same power that he has and more through the Holy Spirit, this is written in the New Testament.
And this is this type of stuff that happens when you start ignoring the scripture and making up your own stuff... Something the Catholic Church has been known for doing for centuries.
That really sounds a lot like the hocus pocus the Catholics teach. Funny how you brought that up.

Hello Frank, loved your videos for years now.

But Satan hsa can control over death and the weather according to scripture... Any thoughts on these verses?
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:10-11 KJV
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:26 KJV
And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord . And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Job 1:12-19 KJV
I also believe that in the old testament when fire came from heaven this was Satan's doing... Trying to receive worship as God. What leads me to believe this is that the people all fell down to worship after this sign.
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
Luke 9:54-56 KJV
Let's study this sometime God willing
While Satan has those abilities, they arent constant and omnipotent, he is still restrained by God, and allowed to use his power where God ALLOWS him to.
Thank You God
Right off the bat a scripture came to me about Jesus, when He cast out demons from someone and was accused of being in league with Satan. And Jesus said something along the lines of "Satan cannot cast out Satan. For any kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is surely upon you."
Therefore, I do not believe that Satan can do ANYTHING that will work against his goal. Casting out a demon is not much different than, say, healing someone. Especially when the Bible states that there are demons which cause physical illnesses and suffering.
hmmm yes ... tis the time when Jesus cast out the demon (Beelzebub) .. Jesus was accused as a practitioner of black arts and such consider his works as work of the devil... tis the basis of exorcism today ... many Priest ( particularly who specializes in exorcism ) use the name of Jesus Christ to expel these evil ... (for all evil are scared of his name e.g. belzebub (talks between satan and belzebub)) ... I have a real life experience about exorcism .... when I was at high School at that time ... it was night or at dusk at that time . Fr. Toni was our parish priest at that time ... I cant believe what I saw .. a woman levitating (horizntally at least 1-2 feat in the air) - it was almost after the mass ended when it happened ... how it that even possible ? (I said to myself )... Its a good thing that me and my Mother were a bit far to that possessed woman ... Fr. Toni was shocked of what happened ... then after that he began to exorcise the devil. ..he spray holy water then said some latin verses ... and said in Jesus Name! the woman began to slowly going down.. after the possession Fr. Toni talked to the woman what she experienced ...
many people were shocked on what theyve seen .. first hand to see a floating lady (horizontally) ..
Many pastor dont believe such thing as possession and evil spirits (white lady and such) like the Pastor in our neighbor (Southern Baptish Church ) until he sees one for himself ... it was night at that time ... he was laying down on a bamboo bed ... while thinking of what he ll say for tom. mass .. he saw a floating white lady in the sky that pass through .. he was startled and quickly sits down and then go inside his house ... lol it made me laugh a bit (and thought about those kind of things in my head - e.g. vampires ghoul, etc and pitied them a bit and hope that God would forgive them for their sins even if they become an incarnation of evil .. for God s mercy is boundless and infinite... and also thought about satan that he should stop being prideful and doing all those evil things and go ask for God s love and mercy (my thoughts when I has in high school ) when he told that story to my mother and my mother to me...
for God created all and said it was good.
Jesus I trust in thee ...
@@matthewhavemercyonmeimasin1500 An interesting experience. I don't know much about Catholicism, but there is definitely power in His name. In fact, I do not think you can expel demons without invoking the name of Christ.
But you have to ask yourself: how did the unclean spirit enter her in the first place? Did she dabble in the occult, partaking in seemingly innocent things like reading horoscopes? You must find the root of the issue, or else it will surely come back. The occult is like a door into our souls, and it allows many unclean things to enter. But when you repent and trust in the Lord, and this door will be slammed shut. Or, in tough cases, only prayer works. Probably because the individual is unrepentant.
@@matthewhavemercyonmeimasin1500 Also, I prefer to call "demon possession" demonize. It's the closest translation to the original Greek word, δαιμονίζομαι (daimonizomai). Demonize means to have a demonic influence.
For example, a Christian cannot be possessed by a devil, since we are essentially the property of God. He, and He alone, possess us. However, we can all be influenced by demonic forces, or demonized. Although the word "possessed" can also be a figure of speech.
Anyways, if somebody does not believe in being demonized, then they do not believe in Jesus. They do not believe in His ministry.
The thief comes *only* to steal kill and destroy. Healing is always from God.
Not true
But how about all these "alternative" healing methods (e.g. by witch docters, eastern medicine) which a lotta people claim to have been really healed by?
Can someone explain this to me please?
ExcitingOnion not if it’s Reiki or some other satanic power. If people are preaching the Gospel and telling people about Jesus and healing the sick like Jesus said we would do as disciples, then it’s God.
Jesus also drove out bad spirits.
When Satan reanimates the "Beast," he's not reanimating a living being, but restoring a religio-political system as a "Beast" is a Biblical symbol for "kingdom."
I think the second beast, though, the Beast out of the Earth is a man. He's the antichrist.
@Manifest-Easy I agree that the man of sin/son of perdition is a single man. I think of the first beast, the beast out of the sea, as the empire. The second beast I think of as a man - the antichrist.
Not only does the false prophet match the description of the antichrist given in 2 Thessalonians 2, but also consider that when used symbolically, you'd understand the sea to be the multitudes, nations... Daniel 7 has the four beasts rising out of the sea just as the beast of Revelation (which is the same as the little horn of Daniel 7) does. When I think of the Earth being used symbolically, I think of God's creation of man - dust of the Earth.
Curiously, the mark of the beast, which is the number of his name, is called the number of a man.
If it is a real person, I bet that Satan being the greatest scientist ever could probably make something to help substain the beasts life after a horrific injury, kinda like a Darth Vader suit
The beast in revelation is not a literal creature, it’s the earthly political system.
It could also be A.I. We must be prepared. Let us live like today's the last day of our earthly life ❤🙏✝️
Spells and miracles rely on the same logical supposition that we aren't meant to understand. Her qualms about spells vs. miracles was a very honest moral issue. Good for her. Sad he is compelled to have an answer for the issue.
Also "Jesus has power over nature" is a terrible argument if you consider Satan as ruler over the world in the old testament

Idk? what I am, but I like the whole philosophy of being the righteous ones all while being outnumbered , as the Bible says or predicted. It's soothing to know that , when I feel: outnumbered , and attacked or accused of things or being compared to others. I tell myself that and it helps "sometimes".
The occult has power to bring it to pass but in the long run you will not like the final outcome. One place I consulted they went to a psychic that said they would all get raises and they did but eventually the place they all worked went out of business. Also I did a prayer and visualization that healed but the problem was keeping me from a worse problem and I got into worse trouble but I do not even do visualization which is like hypnosis ever again. The Lord eventually healed the worse problem. I thank God he had mercy on me a new believer.
the devil is a liar

He doesn’t really give good answers I just come up with more questions.
I guess the answer demonic signs are real and the bible in the Old and New testament reveals this , but the demonic signs can not be as signs of Christian miracles in the Quality and Frequency , it can not heal the sick or cast out demons (as they accused Jesus of) or resurrect someone from the dead even if it claimed falsely but demons are liars its bot true healing or casting demons in its essence its deception, Check the evidence for Christianity and i mentioned the most popular miracles but seriously miracles occurs daily with believers and non believers , check this : ⬇️
Some Evidence for Christianity 📜Ancient (1st and 2nd Century) Non Christian Sources confirmed Jesus' Crucifixion and that he was worshiped as (Josephus , Cornelius Tacitus , Lucian , Gaius Sueotenios , Pliny the younger , Babylonian Talmud and Celsus ..) all of them in there writings were against Christians and Jesus though they mention his Crucifixion under pontius pilate (Tacitus) and he was worshiped as GOD as the bible says.
🌈Evidence for resurrection of Jesus that his Tomb is empty thats a big question mark and the agreement of the disciple of Jesus that they get killed and be martyrs for their testimony that they saw that Jesus resurrected from the dead so if they made up this lie (about The Risen Jesus) then when it comes to give up their own lives i guess some of them will confess that they lied and won't die for it !! even Saul of Tarsus who was persecuting Christians converted to Christianity after seeing Jesus vision and got beheaded in Rome under Nero another one of them is mentioned in Josephus Jewish antiquities he is James brother of Jesus that get stoned by the Jews for testifying for Jesus' resurrection.
🌈Prophecies that is historically proven aside from Isaiah scroll of dead sea scroll (150 BC) chapter 53 that predicted the death and refusal of Jesus and that on him God laid upon him our iniquities (Cross) ...
Check Psalms 22:16 they pierced my hands and my feet they found this fragment in Qumran (BC) and in Nahal hever 50-65 AD and it was they pierced my hands and my feet not like a lion , this prophecy is fullfiled historically outside the bible as we said esrlier that there are 10 non-Christian ancient sources at that time that proves Jesus Crucifixion, so what more evidence than that.
🌈 if Miracles r true then Jesus Christ is the only true God search modern day miracles as
1) Our Lady Of Zeitoun (Apparition of Saint Mary above the church of Zeitoun, Egypt this Miracle occurred in 1968 (when there were no laser or hologram used) millions of people witnessed this from many religions all over the world , newspaper in Egypt and America published many miraculous healings of Muslims and Christians in this event (you can check) , white doves flying at night above the church which is unusual that white doves fly at night and they were luminous , this was the greatest event and apparition of Saint Mary that really proofs Christianity and it was above the cross of the church many other apparitons of St.Mary in Egypt as
2)Our lady of Warraq to more than 200,000 Muslims and Christians (you can see the video on youtube how Mary appeared as her icon blue cloak and inner white dress and yellowish halo)
3)Apparition of Saint Mary in Shubra
1986
also all over the world Mary appears as in
4)Our Lady of Fatima,Portugal 1917 5)our lady of Lourdes,France (5000 miraculous healings and 67 authentic)
5) Our Lady of Guadalupe 1531 and the Miraculous image on the Tilma
🌈Also one of the greatest events that occurs every year in Jerusalem in the Church of Resurrection since the early centuries and it's the MIRACLE OF HOLY FIRE bright white light emanates from the empty tomb of Jesus and it doesn't burn for few minutes you can go and check it by yourself some said it's white phosphorus but if we read about white phosphorus in Wikipedia you will find it burns severely and the history of this miracle Muslims wrote about it there were no match or chemical invention .
🌈check also icon of Saint Mary in port said Egypt that streams Oil that has fragrant aroma and made many miraculous healings with many people believers and unbelievers occurs every year in February for 29 years till now also you can go and witness as the Holy Fire , many many other things check the saints that their body remained incorrupted without any chemical intervention , check Pope Cyril Vl of how he was a pope known for his miracles in Egypt and all Muslims agree with that same with St. Charbel in Lebanon....
Thats just some of it , again Christian teachings and the gospel message the only one fits my mind and the reality of life , so by exclusion Christianity wins
Watching Frank Turek is like watching William Shatner at a Star Trek convention answering questions on who would win a fight between a Vulcan and a Romulan.
Praise the LORD all you creature on earth how great He is using His people in different ways.
Excellent question, and very good answer. There's also, for those signs and wonders that can be done demonically, a test - what is the sign or wonder trying to do? Does it point to God? Jesus? The Cross and Empty Tomb? Or, does it point to 'man being god' or some other deity or power? What is the message. Weigh the source of the wonder by the message being given with it. That is also useful and should help us discern what is happening and from whom.
Sorry, and why did Satan keep any angelic powers, or access this world, to begin with? Was he intended to keep such powers?
Also, concerning the message, which denomination most accurately Discerns the will, and intent, of the Spirit?
@@chrissonofpear1384 I'll answer these in reverse: the gift of discernment is a gift of the Spirit, and no one denomination gets exclusive rights to it. It requires that a believer stay close to Jesus, in reading the word and in prayer, and to walk with the Spirit, being filled by him. Denominational issues are not a factor, although some differences in teaching could make such a process easier or harder.
In regards to Satan: when God made us, we were sinless. We had yet to make a choice. Neither had Lucifer at that point. Jesus said of Satan that he was "a liar from the first" and "the father of lies". Satan's first sin was the lie to Eve "You will not surely die."
In being the father of lies and the first to sin, Satan became the head over all sin. When Adam and Eve followed after him, they came under his headship and would suffer the exact same fate as him.
Therefore, if God had immediately thrown Satan to hell he would have had to do the same to mankind. (Hell is not a place ruled by Lucifer, but rather a place of punishment FOR him) If God were to do it to Satan NOW, most of mankind would be sent right along with him. God's patience with Satan is not for HIS sake, but for OURS. It allowed for God's plan of salvation to be set in motion. It allows more and more time for each of us to make a choice for Jesus.
Why was Satan allowed to keep his powers? Why was Adam allowed to keep both his arms? Why was Eve allowed to keep her legs? Whatever is intrinsic to a person or being will remain so.
Why was he allowed to sin and thus tempt us to do so? Love requires a choice. If you programmed someone to love you, it wouldn't be love and you couldn't take joy in it. If someone chooses to love you, however, it is beautiful. But the choice to love carries with it the choice to hate. Both must be allowed for either to be meaningful.

There’s a difference between a Mystic = using spirits to effect reality and a Magician who uses their Subconscious Mind to effect reality. One uses spirits and the other doesn’t. Is the Magician still wrong because they just use Faith, Affirmations, and then let it go expecting change... isn’t that what christians do? Have Faith, repeat the word of God as affirmation and then believe God to intervene.
I remember some time ago, when Castro was still alive, he stood on a beach and 'ordered' a hurricane to turn and leave Cuba unharmed. It didn't work.
I may have misinterpreted his answer but Satan does have power to control climate, as Jesus “rebuked” the wind. Jesus wouldn’t rebuke that if it was of God, but he would rebuke Satan’s work.
I find it endlessly interesting how serious the conversation is, and the amount of conviction one can have in something that probably doesn’t exist.
Most people who respond as you are doing, have a very limited knowledge of not only Jesus Christ, but the supernatural world and how things operate in that sphere.
Sometimes we see statements like you wrote here because you have never had a personal experience or a personal relationship with the Saviour.
You wrote "probably," meaning that you are leaving your thinking open; that's a good thing.
There is so much evidence for God, the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ, that to try and refute all of it would be a waste of your time. It just can't be done. History, science, our bodies, nature, animals, trees--all living things--were and are proven for thousands of years to have been created by Someone much more intelligent than any of us, who is not bound by our reasoning.
Since before time--as we finite humans know it as being--began, a "greater power"--and I use that term apologetically, since I DO believe in God--has created all things we see, way beyond our understanding and reasoning.
A simple example is how our bodies work: one minute part of us--be it a neuron, a proton, DNA, RNA, cellular structures, or anything else--receives a foreign substance introduced to it--and it throws our entire body's mental and physical balance off, BUT--we cannot duplicate EXACTLY to the smallest nuclei--the "cure" for it. If we could, then we would eradicate ALL diseases, ALL deformities in and out of the womb, ALL infections that cause things such as MS, Downs syndrome, autism, encephalitis, strokes, heart disease, cancer...and so on.
We have scientists who are continuously working towards eradicating these things, yes, but in all the CENTURIES that they have been working, not one of them has been able to completely eradicate these things and the things that befall our bodies and PERMANENTLY remove them from the earth. They just can't do it. Things they thought were gone are back; polio and smallpox for example. They cannot even eradicate the common cold, so how are we to expect that these "experts" can dare compete with the One who created the human race? If we could, then we would be as gods...and we're not.
We cannot create life as we know it; we can REPLICATE it, but we cannot create it, for creating something implies that it was created out of nothing. To "make" something implies that the materials were already there to make a thing, but to create? That is from nothing and in God's case, He took thought--and it was.
You will then say to me "we have the ability to clone another person;" while that may be true, or not--what we cannot do is instill within that clone a spirit being that is instilled in all of us by our Creator, Who is God.
We can replicate a person via cloning--hair color, eye color, height, shoe size, and so on, but we can NEVER instill in a clone or another human being a spirit--our personal spirit, that is instilled in every single human being on earth. That spirit, my friend, is from God and thus is it HIS choice in instilling that spirit into us. No scientist, no magician, no doctor can do that.
Pentecostal Believer S-R - I was christian for 30 years and took it very seriously. I read bible, attended church and prayed regularly. I knew I had a relationship with jesus and god. Through apologetics I got answers on common doubts. And at some point, I was also very convinced about evangelical ideas around spiritual warfare.
Then in my 30s, the answers of apologetics, asking religious leaders and online sources just didn’t cut it anymore. The more I investigated and dug, the less likely it seemed to be true and the more questions I got.
Eventually after reading books on neuroscience, genetics, cosmology, archaeology and doing some logistics on bible stories, I came to the conclusion that the bible is severely faulty. It took 5 years. And then I knew, the bible is an unrealiable source of information and we simply can’t trust it.
I said “probably doesn’t exists” simply to be polite. If there is a god, its certainly not the abrianic god, and neither any of the other religions practiced past or present. IF there is a god, its probably something spinoza’s god, which is essentially the laws that govern the universe.
It would take something like the rapture to convince me that god is real.
