Great collaboration!

Jesus didn’t shy away from demons, and neither should we! Isaiah brought the truth!

3 years ago, at 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of tic-tac-toe. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctor said id never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU. Nuff said.

Thanks for having me on! It was a good time! 🔥🔥🔥

Love this!! “Make your body a place that demons don’t want to live in”. Amen.

"Deliverance can't be a cop out for discipline." 🔥🔥🔥🔥

To what he says at 37:13, about the flesh doesn’t drag you away but demons do - James 1:14-15 “but each person is tempted when they are *dragged *away* by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”

Isaiah taught me spiritual warfare and it turned my life around , but then the discipline part also came to be apart of it . But I couldn’t be disciplined until I cast all those strongholds off my mind and being .

_“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”_ *-Ephesians 6:11-13 ESV*

His Voice is sooooooooooo necessary for the Body of Christ ! Thanks Ruslan for exposing us to this amazing servant of God !! WOW !!!!!!!! I also loved how you kept highlighting the importance of both the spiritual and practical aspect of freedom . " Deliverance is the vehicle to help you live a disciplined lifestyle." Awesome VIdeo!!!

I was delivered and still had to crucify my flesh and become disciplined. It was much easier after being delivered. Before deliverance I tried and tried but couldn’t do it.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Amen! God delivered me from Severe Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Impending Doom in a Dream. Praise Jesus!

I used to think Christians couldn’t have demons until one day the Holy Ghost took me through several hours of deliverance; Just me and Him and I was AMAZED.

I watch just about every vid Isaiah drops. I rock wit it Ruslan. Very edifying to the body. Especially for anyone who hasnt experienced or understood the POWER we have as believers.

“Deliverance is criticized most, by those that do it the least. The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats” BAR🔥

If the Holy Spirit swells in a believer, He's not going to allow demons to share His temple.

Also love Isaiahs humbleness . He always gives it all to Jesus and shows us we can also do what he does it’s nothing special, or take credit for, it all Jesus

“The only territory that the devil owns is the one that the Christian hasn’t taken yet”🔥

God dropped this on me as I was listening to you guys talk. It’s God’s job to drive the demons out, but it’s your job to keep them out. SHUT 👏🏼 THE 👏🏼 DOOR!

I been a believer my whole life.. fell away from 18yr old to 27yr old, and I'm almost 40 now and I learned so much from this podcast.. Bless you BOTH 🙏

I love when brother Isaiah says that deliverance is to get closer to Jesus! That’s what it’s about, everything else is just an added benefit.

RuslanKD. IsaiahSaldivar. I'm speechless. I shed tears over this video. This is an answer to my prayers. Thank you so much for coming together to discuss a topic that I know has been heavily debated in Christian circles! Thank you Isaiah for staying true to your word to the Lord and spreading the Gospel! Bless you brothers and know your work is not in vain. I will be sharing this video on all my social media so all can know. 🙏

This is like...mind blowing since I follow both and I’m so excited they’ve connected. I can’t wait to watch. Blessings fellas!

I did not see this collab coming ! And couldn’t be more happy , this was so necessary!!

“If you want to be free, make your body a place that a demon doesn’t want to be.” 👏🙌🏻🔥

this was worth the watch, so amazed by you two and the balance you both bring to the body, blessings to you both! I hope this means a revival in CA soon with ruslan’s songs and isaiah’s preaching! I would fly over for sure!

Unity in the body of Christ. Love to see it 🙌🏽😭

Just after we watched this, we cast out a nasty demon from our Christian family member! They are full of joy! Thank you! God is sooooo good!

You two are honestly the reason I have started my journey to get back to God!! I found Ruslan first and started watching his videos then RU-vid started suggesting Isaiah and I started binge watching his videos and then I find this video of you two together!🔥🔥 You two have been a big help! Its only been a week and I’ve been so moved and feel such a difference!! I am so excited for this journey and to see what God has in store for me❤️

James 1 "13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."

_“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”_ *-Matthew 28:19, 20 ESV* So anyone reading that verse would do well to ask: _“What did _*_disciples_*_ of Jesus do?”_ _“What were _*_all the things_*_ that Jesus commanded his disciples?”_ Casting out of demons/deliverance is clearly for today.

“DELIVERANCE CANT BE A COP-OUT FOR DISCIPLINE” CMONNNN!!!!

Love that Isaiah mentioned colors being more vibrant after he was saved. I had that too when I was 14 - 2 weeks after hitting my knees and giving my life to God. People thought I was a freak when I told them that! I wish God spoke to me audibly...never has in 42 years. I would love that! Lucky you! Great testimony!

My husband had a similar experience. Radical transformation! Delivered from alcohol and cursing instantly! First time going to church. He said the same thing about the colors etc. like the scales fell off his eyes. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Thank the Lord for people like Isaiah and John Ramirez that speak out on these topics. It’s is definitely something that needs to be talked about in every church.

This is so needed in the church. Time to set the captives free.

I can attest to that, I spent alot of my childhood watching demonic thing especially if it was "werewolves". And on my 21st birthday i began dealing with manifestation of demonization. I'm delivered of that stuff today praise the Lord.

This right here confirms what marcus Rogers has been saying, speaking in tongues is something God has given us you don't have to BUT you should want it, it's an added benefit.... "you go into Starbucks, paid for 3 lattes you don't expect to leave with 2" Isaiah Saldivar

I love how on fire Isaiah is.. he said " I want to die on fire with God" I want that as well .

Yoo Ruslan! I been watching your videos now for about 6mths. I know you have a modern aspect or in touch more with the internet like Joe Rogan’s podcast, reaction to Jordan Peterson etc! Which is very knowledgeable to us Christians. To see your point of view on these topics. But I’m very thankful you brought someone on like Isaiah. Who ministers more of deliverance type preaching like a Derek Prince. I’m glad your audience got to see this type of preaching. And opening more of audience to Isaiah. God bless brother

"I've never been in a room of people where deliverance happens and people say 'praise Satan!'" 😂 Sounds reasonable to me, and funny too. God bless you Mr. Saldivar.

This is hands down my favorite discussion thus far. Spiritual warfare and deliverance are real and they are being choked out in the name of pretty and safe Christianity. I would love to see more interviews like this. This was so good!!!

Ruslan, respect for asking real questions. It was like you were asking all the questions that I wanted to hear responses to. Hoping to grow as a result of this broadening of the power of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for having Isaiah on and thank you Isaiah for coming on!

This is the duo I have been waiting for! C’mon, brothers!

When we get our deliverance it is our responsibility to be disciplined in the Word, coupled with fasting and prayer!

Ruslan...can’t believe you got Isaiah on. Love Isaiah. I fall asleep to this brother. This video was all 🔥. Still want that hoodie bro.

For Christians struggling with the concept of demonic oppression, I’ve found that Katie Souza’s explanation on WHY we have demonic assaults as Christians, I.e. idolatry in the soul which creates a legal right for the enemy to afflict us, Neil Anderson’s book Victory over the Darkness, and Robert Morris’ series on Believers in Bondage finally helped me intellectually accept the concept of demonization for believers. Through their teachings I was finally able to confront many of the oppressive thoughts I experienced and could never explain. I also learned you can actually get free of this stuff. There’s no greater enemy than the one that works in darkness through our own unbelief/ignorance.

This is a Different Level of Teaching! This is what we need right now in this present time This is Revival! Do What Only You Can Do Lord Wake You'r People Up Young and Old No More Slumber This is Raw and Uncut Truth Hallelujah.

I was fighting intrusive thoughts a lot and truly thought I had a demon from something that I watched and I prayed to God vigorously and thank God he delivered me from that.

Never apologize for getting emotional about your testimony!!

His born again experienced is oddly similar to mine. Seeing angels and demons. Not eating for weeks. All that.

Some of the stuff Isaiah says…..verbatim phrases I feel like I’ve been hearing from God. It’s so encouraging.

This was so thought provoking. Coming out of New Thought / New Age, I’ve been inwardly critical of DM, as it sounded a little like the NA. I learned SO much from this interview and am humbled as always when I discover more about God’s word. Thank you both so much.

This was excellent. Subbed to you yesterday and subbed to Isaiah right off of this

I am so happy that we are seeing a generation of young leaders understanding and declaring the good news of the gospel. The demonic is real and we can't cast out our flesh and discipline a demon, it's the other way around. Folks need deliverance and we can have it through the power of Jesus. Let's find churches who will not be afraid of getting into the trenches and aid our brothers and sisters who needs a touch from the power of God.

Maaaan I always wondered if you would have Deliverance Ministers like him or Pagani on here. This is dope and love this!!!

This has completely changed my outlook on this topic. Thank you SOOO much!!

MAN! This was a good one. I wish I could sit down with Isaiah. I have SO many questions!

Absolutely love Isaiah!! He has changed my life, the Lord is working through him so much! I completely agree with him! Thankyou Ruslan for having him on! Blessings to you both!! I need a church that teaches this???🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥

Hands down one of my favorites streams from you. God bless!

Isaiah is my favorite 🔥🙌🏾 I’m so thankful for his ministry.

I've been replying to all of this now I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and Jesus set me free completely what a mighty God we serve ❤️

“Didn’t have time for religious people to come and neuter me” perfectly stated. As this is what the enemy has planned and done throughout different secs of churches teaching incorrectly, in order to keep believers from operating in Authority and the Fullness of the Gospel.!!

Shout out to all the continuist, charismatics, and pentecostals 🙏🙏 I never felt so seem. We been getting abused so long by reformed/calvinist type camps and I'm glad Ruslan is bringing on the big dogs from our side to state their case! The OG of Deliverence Derek Prince said "don't come to me if you arent desperate. Deliverence is for the desperate" Ruslan you the goat bro 🙏

5 mins in and I have tears in my eyes and my spirit is resonating with this! Wow!!

Yooo ! This is straight FACTS ! I so glad Ruslan had Isaiah Saldivar on the chat. God uses both these men of God and I’m thankful both of their platforms 💯

🔥🔥🔥👏 AMEN! I have gotten strength from watching Isaiah this year knowing my power and authority over the enemy and recognizing when I'm being attacked or when someone else is.

He says there are no verses in the Bible that say a Christian can not have a demon, but there are no verses in the Bible that say a born again believer in Jesus Christ HAS a demon that needs to be cast out. So there aren't any verses in the Bible either way because the teaching of the Bible is that when you become born again you are transferred into the Kingdom of God and are saved, in other words you ARE Delivered. Deliverance IS Salvation!

I have many many experiences of people being possessed by the devil or a demon. My father was a missionary and my family was a hispanic gospel musical group. We were invited to so many churches. My parents were always available to pray and cast demons out. I've seen the devil say things to my Dad through the possessed person saying that he will destroy my family. It's crazy to see it in real life. It's a real spiritual fight. And yes you could be Christian or saved and still have demons. I have so much to say..

Hey, Ruslan, coming from a Pentecostal backgound, this is the most balanced outlook on deliverance, thanks bruh

Yo! I so love this brother! Pastor Isaiah is the real deal! I’ve known many whom have been healed and set free through his ministry Awakening! My own son was heals of a heart murmur at an Awakening service!

OMG... His reception of tongues is the same as mine! And the skeptic in me prayed a similar kind of prayer 5 years ago that led to that experience...."God if you are real, show yourself to me in the way 'these' people claim you do." Never been the same again! The Lord is beautiful!!

Thank you guys for this content! I started a channel 6 Years ago to and haven't really been on it, but you guys have helped the fire to go hard for Jesus God bless you guys

So encouraging, we can be so hard bitter hatred filled looks like beyond help, drug addicted, narsarcist, etc etc BUT EHOLIM, iam so encoraged, My family my adult children in one second can be saved, delivered, healed restored.. halleluyah

Logic, balance, no guilt, no blame, no shame…PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR WISDOM

Bro, thank you for sharing your testimony and gift with the body of Christ! Praying for you brothers and your work for the Lord!

Man, listening to him speak makes me feel like I need to get my devotion in check! I want that 🔥 fire. Makes me wonder tho if it has anything to do with personality and how God uses us all different. Great video!!

In his question when you got saved when did your demons leave you, it presupposes that an unbeliever automatically has demons. Also, it assumes that once you become a believer and are born again and receive The Holy Spirit that even if you had demons your salvation and coming to Christ isn't enough to deliver you from any demon you may have had. It doesn't make sense!

I am so glad to see this collab thank you! watched right through and I feel a call to be bolder for Jesus ❤️

Yussss. His ministry has helped me SOOO much. So glad you had him on!

Hey bro @RuslanKD sorry about bringing up that comment you made in your other video during the live. "I'm charismatic with a seatbelt on" I like what it meant though, when you explained it during the live. Keep preaching the truth and spreading the gospel. God bless

the late Pastor Derek Prince taught on this topic quite extensively. Many CHRISTIANS, including himself, have been delivered from demon harassment and oppression. It's not a Salvation issue with Believers - thank God! But it is a matter of hindrance, loss of joy, a spirit of heaviness, unfruitfulness, ect. DPM-Derek Prince Ministries is still going strong 19 years after Pas Prince's death

Most people who talk fast, do so to bring confusion and not give you a chance to think.

Loved this!!! God is moving in a mighty way!!! Hallelujah the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being spread!! Love you both keep doing what you do!!! God Bless you and your families and your ministry!!

And another 1! Thanks for this bro. You covered some questions I had regarding flesh vs posession, full on posession vs influence. Alot of meat in this. Salute 🙏

Man so many bombs dropped💣💣 I pray God continues to bless your ministries amen

Just listening to u guys brings me comfort and protection and deliverance .. halleluyah

I know the “JV” Christian is a sarcastic line. But man do I feel like a “Freshman” Christian after listening to this. It’s amazing to see how God has used the both of you and your testimonies are powerful. Not gonna lie makes me feel like my testimony is sub par at best. I know I’m not supposed to compare since everyone has their own walk with the Lord. But I’ll say to hear the audible voice of God is a gift that many will never experience on this earth. Anyway, loved the video and appreciate you brothers. God bless!!

the unexpected cross-over is officially here!! I seriously didn't even think this would happen. Love both of these channels, but the nature of the game is that it feels like two Christian worlds that never meet (cuz you all know why) but yet you find yourself living in both.

Brother Ruslan and brother Isaiah what a blessing you two are speaking the word of truth from the Bible. Please Pray for my Mother and I. I am a 71years old man named Marion that has bladder pain and other pain. My Mother has dementia real bad.I have and will continue to Pray for Ruslan-Isaiah Family Friends and Neighbors all around us.We should love as Jesus does and Pray for one another.Amen Hallelujah. Thanks for sharing Jesus loves you two and your Ministry and so do I kind people.

I was about to comment but I exercised self control, thank God I did 🙏🏽 cause he answered all of my doubts and arguments later on in the video. I was ALSO going to put time stamps, but God also told me to let the viewers watch the ENTIRE video cause it is ALL important. Thank you all for this conversation. I came in with one mindset, and with an open mind, left with another. Praise God. I’m glad Satan has no power over me by keeping me in the dark. I have been made aware of his tricks and he is now in trouble! I will be even MORE vigilant so I can walk in the calling God has for me. Also, Isiah knows what he’s talking about. He may sound like he doesn’t because you disagree with him, but he genuinely knows what he’s talking about. Amen brothers, God bless keep doing what you do.

I’ve seen tons of videos about deliverance and this one is the best ...good Q&A

I believe something happens to us deeply maybe even to our DNA when we come to know Jesus. 💜🙏🏾💜

Much of the reasoning behind the demonization concept is the personal experience of seeing someone who was “definitely” a Christian exhibiting evidence of being controlled by a demon. It is crucially important, though, that we do not allow personal experience to influence our interpretation of Scripture. Rather, we must filter our personal experiences through the truth of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Seeing someone whom we thought to be a Christian exhibiting the behavior of being demonized should cause us to question the genuineness of his/her faith. It should not cause us alter our viewpoint on whether a Christian can be demon possessed / demonized. Perhaps the person truly is a Christian but is severely demon oppressed and/or suffering from severe psychological problems. But again, our experiences must meet the test of Scripture, not the other way around.

“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” 1John 4:4

This is such good information!

Great vid. Happy to see Isaiah on here.

Sooooooo good!!!!!!!! Love you both! Gods anointed men!
