When Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross and died on the cross and rose from the dead Jesus Christ defeated all evil and He defeated satan .The Holy Spirit lives in me .There is no more powerful name than the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Power and Authority in Jesus's name are all that is needed. I did not have to listen to this but once. John MacArthur is spot on. What I read in the comments most is nothing but foolishness. We make something that is true untrue by our shallow thinking. The truth is what it is. The problem is we take that truth and we add what we have falsely read and or what's been handed to us some nonsense belief creating false doctrine. It's really simple....read your Bible and study it.
Thank You Pastor John Mcarthur I have an insatiable desire to learn from the WORD OF GOD and share it. Bless you and your family today. From a pensioner in South Africa KwaZulu-Natal..a new creation in Christ Jesus my Saviour and King! 🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️✝️🌻🌻😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is encouraging, the absolute truth of God's word. And now we know it even more perfectly, more completely, our focus grows even more on our blessed Lord Jesus, and when we do this all the more then Jesus becomes more preeminent, He increases then we must decrease.
Right on, John MacArthur! It's so refreshing when you break out the word of God and hear all of it to its fullest. In our Hmong people- so many churches have been succumb to this crazy ridiculous movement of deliverance ministry, and also, so many pastors are elevated to how they can cast out demons. We really need to understand what the Bible says about this matter. Thank you for sharing this recording!
The dealings with spiritual warfare is not a joke. I've dealt with demon posession and have cast out/ rebuked such encounters but when we(pastors) get caught up with it and try to elevate ourselves to take the place of the Lordship of Christ, it is not genuine anymore.
@@watchman316ly you cannot drink from the cup of God and the cup of demons. I suggest you have a conversation with God about that perspective. If you have the holy spirit you cannot have demons.
I'm so glad you posted this. I came out of the Catholic church under this misconception of the rites of exorcism and the pagan foundation the church. God is rich in mercy and grace. May He reign forever.
@John Wilson dear friend, I would never call our Lord a pagan. Nor would I be prideful for our Lord's Grace given to a sinner like me. He did found His Church, but a lot of your "traditions" the catholic community holds so passionately on to were all borrowed from practice dating back to Nimrod. Mother and infant, the mass, incense, The rosary, etc. I'm thankful our Lord saved me from a self-indulgent institution like the Catholic Church.
@John Wilson looking at all your previous comments it looks like it's "edgy Atheist comments," rather than looking for answers to legitimate questions about your faith. If it's going to be the latter then I'm not entertaining your patronizing. If you're seeking salvation, I pray our Lord shows you the same love He showed and continues to show me.
@@FreddyA85 as a Protestant you don’t like the Church Jesus built. He gave us His real presence. The Eucharist. You have your pastors. When they die you have plenty more choices of who you decide to worship.
I’m so sick of people acting as if they are so holy when in fact,…you’re just another person trying to take credit for something you couldn’t possibly do without, Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirt. We are Nothing but Filthy Rags!
Apparently you don’t believe cuz you ain’t casting out demons nor doing the same signs of the apostles , are you ? I didn’t think so neither am I You lack discernment my friend- Ask and it shall be given to you by the Lord
The Gospel in a Nutshell: 1. God, infinite, eternal, triune in nature, and Holy, created everything, including man. He made it all good. He is perfect in every way. He made man for His good pleasure and to worship God. 2. God chose to make man, and withheld no good thing from man. He made man rulers over the earth, second only to Him. Man rebelled against God and in doing so fell into "Sin state" and took all creation with him, including all of future humans, which is why we see death, sin and corruption all around us. God's just sentence for man's rebellion and sin is an eternity in hell as they sinned against an eternal and Holy God. Man goes to hell for SIN, not for believing the wrong thing. The Bible says we all sin and there are none righteous. We are not able to respond to God morally and we all deserve hell for our sins (lying, coveting, hating, stealing, lusting, all the 10 commandments). 3. But God being gracious and abundant in mercy decided to inact a rescue plan, even though He didn't have to. God the Father, sent God the Son, Jesus Christ who was 100% man 100% God, to live the life we as humans should have lived but didn't. Jesus perfectly fulfilled God perfect/holy moral/standard and then died on the cross and suffered the Wrath of God we should have suffered in hell. Then 3 days later He rose bodily from the dead proving He was who He said He was, and that He conquered sin and the grave on behalf of all those who would repent and trust in His finished work on the cross. Jesus essentially paid a fine we could never pay to God. 4. So now all we have to do is respond: Repent and trust in Jesus' finished work on the cross, trusting He fully paid our debt, and when we do that, the Holy Spirit will fill us and make us new and righteous before God. We belong to Him and can trust Him no matter what happens in our lives. And we can go to Him boldly as His precious children trusting in His perfect and sacrificial love for us. Jesus sets us free from the power of darkness, and who the Son sets free is free indeed! 1) Genesis 1; John 1:1; Romans 1:20 2) Genesis 3; Romans 1:21& 3:9-18 3) John 8:36; Romans 6:23; Colossians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7 4) John 3:16& 11:25-26; Romans 10:9&13
Jesus will be with His beloved children and cover them, ALWAYS, even in death, securing their way to heavenly rest and union with Him. teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20 ESV In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 ESV
Sigh..........could you 2 POSSIBLY be more wrong!!?? The only lunatics to refer to themselves as apostles are arrogant, selfish, egotistical, power hungry, degenerates who get off on the weak willed, naive "believers" who grovel at their feet (hooves)........
@@gerardovivanco5631 wow, aren't you about judgmental as they get!!! Evil spirits exist among people and with your words, I would do a self awareness if I were you. Just because you agree or disagree, doesn't make you 200% correct nor a saint!! Wow, just wow!
So can we control them like He did too? My wife, one day we got into a 14 year long fight. I stayed faithful but one day, something came to my mind and I spoke the word "narcissist" but I've never heard that word before, I didn't know what it meant. Well, she left the house for two days, came back got her stuff and that was that, here we are today.
@@jonathanlopez5405I’m following Jesus He told us to be Shrewd(skeptical) as snakes..He also told us many false teachers and prophets will come and deceive many and we are told many will come preforming false signs and wonders..please inform us of how we can tell the difference between false signs and wonders and the real ones
@@jonathanlopez5405 oh well the guys claiming to cast out demons are definitely out then..they have bad theology they are incredibly materialistic,egotistical and extremely emotional no self control or sound mind or loyalty to scripture I’ve not yet seen a “demon cast out” that was like that in scripture
He’ll never get delivered if you listen to John mcarthur because he doesn’t believe in it. Listen to studies from Derek Prince, Isaiah Saldavar and the like if you or anyone else needs and wants deliverance.
Repent of cessationism. You don’t need to be an extreme charismatic, but you must not resist the Spirit of God in these last days. Repent while there is time.
Repent while there’s still time? So believing that people outside of the scriptures are able to do the signs seen in scripture is now a requirement for salvation? We can’t listen to Jesus when He tells us to be shrewd (skeptical)? And that many will come preforming false signs and wonders? We can’t just put our trust in the miracles in scriptures and trust that Jesus rose from the dead? We have to be gullible and just trust everyone that claims to be working in the name of Jesus..please tell us how we are supposed to discern the false signs from the real ones please enlighten us
Only those who are not saved need to repent? That's what you believe? You created several more strawmen that I will not address. But I will answer your question at the end. Don't believe everything you see, especially on the internet. Travel the world. Place yourself in the company of true modern day saints. Listen to testimonies from trusted brothers and sisters in the faith. These miracles are all around us. Like the people of Nazareth in Jesus's day, the only thing keeping us from seeing them is a pervasive lack of faith. God bless you brother, I wish you all the best. @@c-qpo
@@solascripturabiblical Agree. Mark 16:17 - this is the authority that remains today and the authority I have operated under. Not mine or yours or John Macarthurs. Demons still submit to the authority of Christ. Of course they do! He is the King! It is actually our duty as a part of the great commission. Saying this authority has expired is adding to scripture. A dangerous thing to do.
@@solascripturabiblical "It doesn't matter whether or not you have done, all that matters is what scripture has to say concerning it." Yep. And this is what the Scriptures say about casting out demons being for the apostles only: nothing. So yeah it does have to do with whether or not he's done it. Because God still uses His children today to cast out demons.
You can't prove through Scripture that only the apostles were allowed to do miracles and cast out demons. John Macarthur is really great in many areas of Bible teaching but cessationism is a deception.
If these so called healers are so able to heal the sick why arent they going to chi hospitals and heal the sick and dieing? Not one Charasmatic will answer this question... Not one!!!
Sorry but I find this pretty disingenuous. We do wrestle with spirits and we do need help sometimes because not everyone is spiritually strong enough to successfully fight alone. I don't trust anyone from the NAR, like Saldivar and company, but I do trust Derek Prince. Even though I seriously doubt that spirits have names like "nail biter" or "post nasal drip" (lol) there are ones that cause self harm and chronic illness. Yes, I do realize that a bad habit can just be a bad habit and allergies can just be allergies.
Surely unless one doesn't read the word of God, the only way to heaven is thru Jesus christ not Mary ,anything else is false en promoted by the earliest known denomination
Send a guy who possesses these gifts to where these gifts are needed like a hopital for that matter …. Wait - I guess you don’t him I bet you just heard stories of someone perhaps you just lack discernment
You'll never see a fake "Apostle" perform verifiable miracles, such as clearing out a hospital or healing a blind person. Their selected "victims" are all part of the act. Charismatics think it's some kind of game, chasing a church member around who's pretending to be possessed, then the pastor "casts out" the pretend demon and they all speak in fake tongues and are "slain in the spirit" etc. Deep down you know this is all nonsense, but still perpetuate the lies. Please pray for discernment and truth, the gospel is fantastic enough without embellishing.
I used to like him. He says that a person CAN take the mark of the Beast and still be saved. He is a FALSE TEACHER BEWARE. God can use us to cast out a demon from an unbeliever. He used me to do just this. I have seen it first hand. All glory to God for the name of Jesus is above every name. Be careful listening to teachers that say God doesn't operate in Christians to this day. He has not changed and empowers believers and will continue to do this to the end.
John Mc. Came back admitted that he was wrong that a man can take the mark and be saved He repented of that and said what was in the Bible about taking the mark that you will be lost if you take the mark they are ministers who would not come back and-repented but he did thank you Pastor john macArthur
This is pure heresy. . He gave us all authority over satan. Mark 16-17 Luke 10-19. He said many will do mighty works in his name and he will say “ depart from me THOSE WHO WORK INIQUITY”. That does not mean that doing works in jesus name is bad. If someone does a work in jesus name it’s because the lord did it not the person. We aren’t to rejoice that we have authority over unclean spirits but that are names are written in heaven. Those who run around taking the credit for the lords work will be held accountable. And the “it was given to the disciples” it’s heresy as well we are called to be born again decouples of Jesus Christ. Why do you think Christian’s who don’t believe in praying in tounges run from Christian’s that pray in tounges. It’s because what is in the lukewarm believer is afraid of the Holy Ghost amen
I listened unto many of your sermons and I feel they are among the best I ever heard. I agree with everything that you say except your opinion about Mary, the mother of God. Catholics, of which I am one, do not believe that Mary is a Goddess. We believe that she is the most perfect creature that God ever created, even greater than Satan. We believe that her perfection in God’s eyes is so great that He has granted her certain powers, which she practices in His Name; in herself, she has no power. I realize that this is not explicitly stated in the Bible but Catholics believe there is Divine Revelation outside the Bible, which is done without changing the Bible. After careful study of the Catholic Church bishops, belief in Mary has become dogma.
Which is an addition to scriptures which is prohibited by the Bible. See 9 Bible Verses about Adding to the Bible Most Relevant Verses Revelation 22:18-19 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.

“Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee”. These words are the basis fir Roman Catholic dogma. It is not an addition or a change in dogma, it is part of Scripture. Moreover, Our Lord Jesus Christ has made known His desire to have everyone honor the name of Mary, His mother. This was through an apparition which is not part of scripture but a Divine Revelation made by Jesus Christ to one of the children of Fatima.
What you believe, is not what I and the Roman Catholic Church fathers and all of the saints believe. Also, I caution you to be careful of what you say about the Blessed Mother- Jesus Christ is very protective of her and doesn’t tolerate blasphemies of any kind when people speak about her.
Prior to watching this video tonight, I hadn't listened to John MacArthur since the 90's. I quit at that time, because I saw no point in listening to any preacher with such a harsh tone, when there are many good ones who can get their point across without being so loudly strident towards their audience and critics as if they are all a bunch of dumb human mistakes. My thought is always, "Why did you become a minister, if you dislike people so much?" You can be verbally authoritative, without raising your voice. Godly preachers who emulate Jesus that way, do it all the time. Aside from that, his argument here - based on effectively adding to Scripture his own OPINION that gifts, miracles, tongues, have ceased, is ridiculous, not to mention being outright disrespectful to The Holy Spirit. This is why: the passage in scripture that says all these things (tongues, prophecy, etc) will cease "when that which is perfect has come," does NOT refer to the Bible as the object of "that which is perfect." (The Bible IS perfect, but that doesn't mean it is what Paul was talking about in that passage.) The reason it logically cannot mean the Bible is because it also says that at that same time (when that which is perfect has come), knowledge itself will cease. The Bible was canonized well over a thousand years ago. But knowledge is not even close to ceasing. Just in the last 150 years, cars and airplanes have been invented. Computers, too. Antibiotics and other medications and our understanding of the workings of the human body have essentially increased exponentially. We have put people on the moon. We have split the atom, and put it back together. We can change lead into gold (though it is not financially cost effective to do so). All of this has taken knowledge. There are countless examples proving that knowledge has not ceased, And again, since knowledge is lumped in with tongues and prophecy, etc. as only ceasing when that which is perfect has come, it only proves the point that the perfect thing about which Paul was speaking, still is yet to come. It is a huge stretch of Scripture (and imagination) to try to "make" that passage be about the Bible. On the other hand, the return of Christ, and/or the new Heavens and new Earth, are each perfect, and still yet to come, thus being good candidates for the "perfect" mentioned in that passage of Scripture. Nonetheless, Mr. MacArthur preaches his illogical opinion, and with a nice argumentative tone, for good measure. How lovely. Only God and any given person knows what is in their heart, but Jesus says we can know people by the fruit they bear, and when I watch John MacArthur speak to people like they are both annoying and dumb, all I can see is a terrible witness. The Apostle Paul stated that no matter what we gifts we have or what we know or can do, etc., if we don't have LOVE, we have our priorities screwed up. Based on his visible "fruit", I struggle to imagine John MacArthur loving sinners while hating their sins. He may genuinely do so, but I cannot start to imagine him giving a hurting, yet repentant, sinner a hug. Or encouragement. Or even just kindness. Why become a minister at all when you speak to others (each of whom was also created in God's image) of a different mind like they are annoying morons. Yet God can work wonders with anyone. Maybe someday, he will meet someone miraculously healed, or exorcised (and shows him a video of the event) and admit that he doesn't have all the answers. Other, humbler, preachers are frequently able to do this. Apparently, he is also unfamiliar with the passage where the disciples told other people - strangers to the disciples - who were casting out demons in Jesus' name to stop because they (the disciples) did not know them. What did Jesus say? He told them that if they were not against us (Jesus and His cause and followers), then they were FOR Him. Yet here we go again, with John MacArthur joining ranks with others in catering to the spirit of division, trying to make brothers and sisters in Christ sound like idiots, when at least they are trying to help people through the very same ways that a great many clearly Jesus-loving pastors have believed and taught them to do so. And there are plenty of testimonies of present-day healing miracles, etc., happening. If you don't believe God still does miracles, or healings, of course you aren't going to see any of those things, because the Bible says that without faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to please GOD. If God is unpleased with a person's lack of faith, why would HE reward that lack of faith by doing a miracle or healing? So, for those people, He doesn't do those things, and then they use that as "proof" that God doesn't do miraculous things anymore. And then, thinking they are spreading truth, these unbelieving, people who have displeased God with their unbelief, get on RU-vid and criticize their own brothers and sisters in Christ, who ARE able to do healings, etc, because they have faith that God still wants to heal people (at least at times; He is not a vending machine, and if He did heal everyone we wanted healed 100% of the time, we would be at risk for becoming so puffed up with pride that we would be useless for Kingdom Work. Just like Lucifer became useless for serving God once we succumbed to pride. God loves us too much to risk endangering us in that way. But the critics see that certain people aren't healed, and they jump on it and say that this person is a fraud or that one is a charlatan, etc., without ever realizing that there may be specific reasons for that, such as the possible reason I just mentioned. Dear Mr. MacArthur, if you are not going to lead in helping people, please stop being a misleading obstacle to those in need of help, and those who are earnestly doing their best to provide that help.
Wow! Using these very vague verses to justify his theology is REALLY stretching things. It sounds like he forms theology based on what is currently happening in a powerless church, rather than truly basing it on scripture. How does he get around Jesus' Great Commission: Matt 28:20 "...teaching [their converts] to observe all things that I have commanded you". And Jesus had "commanded" the disciples to (Matt 10:8) to "cast out demons". It sounds to me like John MacArthur has a "form of godliness but [he] denies its power." (2Tim 3:5)
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ..." Matthew 28:18, 19 ...
Are you an apostle of the lord? They had the power to cast out demons but nobody has that power now days. We can hardly deal with sin and some stupid and ignorant bible people think that they can go face to face with the devil. Come on!!! Let's be real
Pastor MacArthur misquotes Hebrews 2: 3, 4. HEBREWS 2: 3, 4 says, "how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?" 2 CORINTIHANS 12:12 Truly, the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. MARK 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. None of these passages indicate that the supernatural gift of casting out demons is solely for the apostles of the New Testament. Jesus said, 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." JOHN 14:12 (NKJV). I like many of MacArthur's preachings, but this is one I cannot subscribe to.
Are you doing or have you done greater signs than Jesus like it’s stated in Scripture ? By the way these signs would accompany those who Believe . You probably use this verse a lot to prove your point on the gifts and it raises a valid question ; why haven’t you done these signs yet ? Apparently we both could Assume you don’t belive …. Or perhaps you should listen to your elders and learn something valuable or just be DUMB - it’s your choice
Brother, you are so clueless about our power and authority over the enemy in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. You are teaching and misleading others, and you will be accountable for that. This ignorance is why the church is such a mess, and they never or rarely see miracles or people get delivered from the power of darkness. I am praying the Lord will show you the error of your ways.
I would surely hope, those that are demonically possessed can be healed as I have witnessed a loved one being possessed by a demonic spirit and it exposed itself to be after this man went to the alter to give his life to Jesus, yet went home and began mocking what he had done to his best friend, insulting and offending his friend who accused him of his mockery. The friend left and it was then that the spirit spoke to me, directly. I thought that type of experience, what I heard and seen, only happened in movies and was fake. Not anymore, it is VERY real indeed. Evil spirits are very real and can show themselves if you associate yourself around people who have or still dabble in witchcraft or make a mockery of God or serve the wrong gods. I grabbed my bible and ran, praying to God, this man would stay far from me. Unfortunately, it was my 1st husband who was a drug addict at that time, who later got off the drugs only to trade it for alcohol and he only lived to be 47 years old. I worry about his soul and our son who loved his Dad very much. My son claims he can talk to him and that worries me greatly as I know how deception can be very real when great love is involved. But loving our Father God should always trump over any love we have here on this earth and in the spirit being. Praying... Hollywood and the illuminati are GREAT example of demonic examples as artist are filled with demonic spirits and it shows through their performances and even their words. Learn and teach yourself, for all those who think I've lost my mind.... the information is out there, especially here on RU-vid.
Why do you protestants worship pastors like MacArthur? Protestants go to different churches because they like how the pastor thinks. Not because Jesus is there. He is only in the Catholic Church. Wake up.
@Albert Trombino sounds like you think Jesus was crazy when he said “Unless you eat my body and drink my blood you do not have eternal life in you”. Others thought like you and left Jesus. Ask MacArthur what Jesus was referring to. Maybe a floured wafer. Jesus said it not me. But you are smarter than Jesus.
@@davidgarcia7140 Protestants believe that because it is the only church Jesus built. You should tell Jesus what you think of His church. Come back to the church of your ancestors. Remember what His Mother said ALL NATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED. MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORD and when Jesus performed His first miracle at Her request she said DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU. Are you wanting to be my student also?
