2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. -- notice it says branch in me.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. --- This is Jesus its not my opinion (fire)

Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art (converted), strengthen thy brethren.--- Peter you must not cut off people ear --

John 18:36 if my kingdom were of this world my servants would fight

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

We make mistakes, but a Christian stops lying, steeling, killing, adultery, + the other commandments

Leland Kendrick md's comment on 2021-12-01 07:30:49:

Yes you are right

Our preamble to the constitution

Is what defines us the peopl

This is our country

We are the masters

And all elected officials are our public servants from president own down

We the people are 325 million people

Yes we have to take back control

Our constitution says that when Washington DC

Try's to become socialized

Dictators or ever what you want to all them

We the people militia etc not only have the right but duty to remove them from office

I am not talking about bloodshed

That is the last thing we Christians

Would want

Remove them peacefully

We have the tight to peacefully assemble

And redress our greviences

Some would say our military would obey government and shot we the

People

I say that would not

The military would not because they are there to protect the people not Washington DC

Asking the military to fire on us

Would require they shots their mothers

Fathers

Brothers

Sisters

Spouses

Children

Not a chance

That would only happen in a communist markist

Dictator country

That is not who we are

We can do it without bloodshed

God bless America

We do need to return to God

The most important thing we have to do

God never blessed a country

That rejects him

I'm not understanding your question/statement. I'm not sure which pastors you speak of. Riots that happened early 2020?

Anti mask? Antivax? These five you've quoted Can't, in truth, be lumped together. Let's address the first 2.=

GOD made us in HIS image, we reflect HIS glory, HE didn't create humanity with masks. HE created us with an immune system. We are to go about with unveiled faces. We are to live by faith & not fear. Many discussions have been had on this site about these issues.

Revelations 21:8,

Ecclesiastes 37:11, John 2:13-17

USA We The People are the Governing Authority & by Duty, are required to right the "government" when they usurp their authority.

The last 3 labels Antilove,- charity, ect, clearly are not of Christ.

1John 4:18, 2 Timothy 3:15-17,

Isaiah 26:3,

Hopefully these are helpful in the heaviness you feel

Glenn Brooks's comment on 2020-12-02 03:02:02:

Andrea has indeed received a correct reply from Mishael on Spiritual Warfare; demons are the cause of many problems. For many years I was always curious about how the devil works. Yet I was wise enough not to play around with it. Several things influenced my mind and made me much wise. The devil is not to be played around with. In the end he will get the best of us. About 27 years ago I was so tired of being a christian that was filled with doubts. So finally after listening many times on tape to a Salvation Army preacher stop a song right in the middle and then quote a bible verse that I decided to use that verse and challenge God. Yes challenge , because I believe God can not lie. The bible verse was Jeramiah 33.3 "CALL ON ME AND I WILL ANSWER THEE AND SHOW THEE GREAT THINGS THOU KNOWEST NOT" God answered after 6 months. Led me to a Church that has the most truth. Now thru a correct study of daniel and Revelation I see clearly. All doubts are taken away. However to further increase my knowledge I bought a book for $20 and the man who wrote the book can also be watched freely on youtube. This book describes a man who was starting to dance with the devil but God intervening and thru bible study the man was saved . The book is ; A TRIP INTO THE SUPERNATURAL BY ROGER MORNEU. Another great book , not so much a trip into the supernatural but amazing just the same was written by a German Officer during ww2 . Amazing how God protected both him and his wife/children who were at home.

A Thousand Shall Fall: The Electrifying Story of a Soldier and His Family Who Dared to Practice Their Faith in Hitler's Germany.

Mishael's comment on 2020-07-16 17:20:08:

Listen to some Charles Capps too: Authority of the believer. We have to know we have authority over demons.

Every time they start to manifest; if you're not alone get in the parked car and start binding by using their names. Speak out your authority. Mention the holy blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

There's a demon that masquerades using Jesus's name. I'll try to find that list of demon names in the Bible.

I don't know if many doctors would have knowledge of this. You can make calls and try to find a deliverance minister affiliated through a church.

Andrea McCallum's comment on 2020-07-16 15:18:26:

Thank you Mishael for your advice .

I used to listen to Derek Prince a few years ago , very calm personality

with power in his words.

You have confirmed what i have always thinks about schizophrenia " there's indeed a demon behind it "

I therefore make my believe known to the healthcare here in Paris they think I myself may needs help.

I do read the Bible a lot , it so strange i realised that I'm forgetting all that i read , most times as soon as i start praying

I started yawning and tattering can't find my words .

Something seems very wrong to me.

I am now listening to Derek.

Have a Blessed night.

Mishael on Spiritual Warfare's comment on 2020-07-15 18:12:58:

Go on YouTube and watch some videos on spiritual warfare, that's all you have to type in. Listen to some by Derek Prince. He's very calm but he can sure make the demons run!

Sounds like you have more than one person ought to have. Read Ephesians chapter 6. Principalities and Powers are invisible but they manifest in mean ways. That's how you know they are around. You need to get more Bible into you to win against these things that afflict the children.

Schizophrenia is a demonic spirit. It may be working in sync with a familiar spirit (infiltrates and follows families). Learn from Derek how to run these demons off. It's the Holy Name of Jesus they must bow to.

You have to learn this. Jesus cast out demons every day of his ministry. Read the Gospels and see how Jesus did it.

Write me back later and tell me how it goes.

Enduring Hardships with Family's comment on 2020-07-15 17:57:59:

You may have a move in your future...

Even good Christians oppose themselves and people they love. (Mom)

You take over your Christian walk. Can't anyone else do it for you. Just say "I appreciate your concern" and then make your exit.

Did you do as described in John 3 ? If so, then you are born again; and the Holy Spirit came alongside to be a daily part of your life. He...is your Teacher; Comforter. If you're veering off course, He will alert you.

Any voice that accuses you and attacks your faith in God; is Satan. You must put on your armor, Ephesians 6, pick up your "Sword" which is scripture you have hidden in your heart; and run Satan out of your life. If you need a bigger sword...keep adding Bible into your armory every day. The demonic are invisible but you can tell when they're around: they accuse, they tear at your personality and any way they can, tear you down. You have no need that anyone teach you but The Holy Spirit: which is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He will undertake your learning if you ask Him to. Give him all the confusion and the wounded spirit and ask Him to heal you completely.

Generally I suggest you would watch Charles Stanley videos on YouTube; but I'm going to add to that, videos by Charles Capps. He teaches on the Authority of the Believer. Both are fatherly Teachers. You'll enjoy the sermons. Greg Laurie teaches a lot of younger people. You might check out his sermons too.

You have suffered a breach but you are healed of that NOW in the Name of Jesus! Receive it now.

Every time you hear the Accuser; cast him out in Jesus name. Pray for the Lord to undertake your mom's comments. Forgive always! This releases God to be at work in her life. You don't have to do a thing. Give it to Him.

Find some Christian friends to Bible Study with. It makes for a lot of joy and fun. :D

How's your spaghetti skills? Mishael
