Is there an evil force in the world that is working towards your destruction? You may be surprised to learn that the answer is no. But before you find comfort in that, there is something else you should know. Dr. Sproul discusses what that is in this message entitled “The Battle with the Devil.”
This is the 5th in a series of messages by Dr. Sproul on pleasing God. See other videos in the series: • Pleasing God - R.C. Sp...

My dad when he was just converting to Christianity from pagan tribal religion plus Hinduism in remote NE Indian village he was physically tormented by demons for over a year...he describes demons physically tormenting by shaking bed, tugging on bedsheets and making sounds...it went on for a year and then the demons were defeated by the power of Holy Spirit...it literally screamed out of the room towards the forest below and many house members were able to hear it ascertain it as their tribal God aka demons...Nowadays, the Satan has switched to deception by making people fall for lusts, envy, etc.,...it's important to acknowledge the existence of Satan and never overestimate it's power because it's been already defeated and stomped under our feet by the power of God Almighty...

@tonyschwartz6712 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your Dad's testimony. You are so right that Satan is way more subtle now. He gets a door open to come in through compromise or disobedience. I'm sorry your father went through such a struggle, but wonderful the battle for his soul was won by the power of God. God bless and protect you and your family.

@person6768 7 месяцев назад

Billy Graham actually did end up concedeing on Biblical Issues and they all laughed but my eyes 👀 got big. Edit: A lot if people are sharing spiritual attacks on here. I'd like to share mine. I'm unable to have children and one night it wasn't very late but I felt overwhelmingly tired. I mean I barely made it to my bed and passed out. In my dream was an absolute gorgeous man with beautiful blue eyes sitting at a table. There were great pillars on one side of the room and a cozy fire on the other. I sat down next to him. It felt like I was really there, like I was conscious and he told me if I gave him my soul he'd give me a child. I said no and then the dream became like my normal dreams where I don't steer I just watch. And I woke up. I know it's possible it was just a unique dream but I truly believe someone maybe not satan maybe just another fallen angel, I'm not going to pretend I'm important enough for the devil to show up. I'm sure whoever he's watching is a much bigger problem for him. Someone like R.C. but anyways I do believe that something tried to get me to make a deal.

+Kambole Chituwo..Matthew 6:33.. "Seek Ye First..The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness..and all these things Shall be added unto You.". Seek Jesus..He Gives you everything you Need! Where is there a need for the bible or Paul stated there! Jesus is God and when you seek Him ..He Gives you everything you Need. Why are not Jesus Words good enough for you. In Jesus Prayer.."Give us This Day..our daily bread." (that is what the Father knows we Need) "lead us not into temptation..but deliver us from evil." if we forgive Jesus delivers us from evil. Is not that what we Need? Everything we Need and to be delivered from evil. What more do you want? Than what Jesus Gives you? Seek Him! Paul can give you nothing but his opinion..and his church of titled men..who are NOT Jesus either! Seek Jesus! He is the Only One Who Can Help You!

@kambolechituwo7216 5 лет назад

I am not sure where your "paraphrase" comes from. Please pick one verse and show how it connects with your ideas. Otherwise, the Bible says "Fight the good fight of faith" (1 Tim 6:12) and "Finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil" (Ephesians 6:10-11).

Why is Not JESUS WORDS Good enough for you? if you Seek Jesus..He gives you Everything You Need. Where is there a need for Mens opinions? Paul said the bible was "god breathed" Jesus Did NOT say that! You are making Paul your God..because that is what Christians Do..but Paul is NOT God. Jesus is!

@Amioran 5 лет назад

What are "Jesus words"? You mean those words as related by the same apostles you insist are relying only on their own human means when writing them? If that's so how can you know for sure that "Jesus' words" are, in fact, fully his own words to begin with, or that they are related correctly, without error? Were the apostles outside of human error only when writing what Jesus said? Pretty convenient, is it not? And how can you know for sure that those words, even if correct originally, have not been altered after, through transmission? Fact is that If you don't believe in the inerrancy of Scripture then "Jesus' words" mean anything at all, because you have absolutely no way to truthfully discern on what those words really are to begin with, and it is for this, in fact, that all those that use your own standards sooner or later end up in apostasy (full denominations have done so by treading this route), because such a position is rationally untenable and it will crumble at the first sign of serious scrutiny. An unbeliever knowing Bart Ehrman corpus, for example, or any other liberal academic, would make munch-meat out of your position and you would end up leaving the faith in less than a second (as countless people having your same beliefs have done in the past). As an aside note, do you respect also these words of Jesus? _Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me_ (Luke 10:16). It doesn't seem you do, since you don't listen to the words of the apostles in the same way as you listen to the ones of Jesus, is it not? Or what about how Jesus treated what's written in the Tanakh as God's word?: _“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?"_ (Matthew 19:4-5) _"And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”_ (Matthew 22:31-32) _“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."_ (Matthew 5:17-18) It seems to me you aren't fighting just against rationality, but also against the words of Jesus Himself that you supposedly rely upon. Jesus treated ALL of Scripture as God's word, since He affirmed EVERY word, every prophecy and every historical fact related on it, not just what God stated directly, but everything that the Prophets wrote in it through the Holy Spirit.

It may seem like a joke, but Mr. Graham preached a message of free will and your fleshly, carnal minds ability to come to Christ which your carnal, fleshly mind hates. Benny Hinn, Ken Copeland, Joel Osteen, and many others are puppets of Satan getting wealthy and preaching legalism and free willism. To the Apostles Jesus said, " Ye have NOT CHOSEN ME , but I have chosen you, and ORDAINED YOU, that ye shall go and bring forth fruit (of the Spirit ) " ( John 15:16 ) : how shocked would the great majority of church goers be today if they heard the Lord Jesus say such words unto His own ! In John 17:9 we find Jesus saying, " I pray NOT for the WORLD, but for THEM which thou (Father) has given Me. "

Look up a Tim Keller teaching called “Getting Out”. He talks about the importance of how we look. Whether at ourselves and the subjective worthiness of our actions or thoughts. Or at Jesus: and the objective certainty and conclusiveness of Him, and His thoughts and actions. “Salvation isn’t based on the quality of your faith, but on the object of your faith.” SO MUCH freedom and power within that idea.

I didn't know it at the time, but one of the most notable encounters with Satan that I had was a spiritual attack. I woke up at about three o'clock in the morning, and a few seconds after I woke up I was tempted severely with the unforgivable sin. I didn't want it, yet it was pushed on me greatly. I didn't fall into it and fell back asleep. I later found out that this was Satan attacking me. Satan is real. He may not manifest himself as a physical being, but he is a real person.

It's so hard to convince people. I was gifted the gift of being able to see the workings of Satan and his angelic followings.etc.. but people don't take it serious. Even in the body , when it comes to this subject I get the shrug offs and eye rolls. It makes me sad because they act as if ,by deyning him he won't effect them. I often even feel persecuted because of this gift, but that's ok I can on some level rejoice in this because many believed not Jesus also and he said they would do us the same. But it does hurt when it comes from inside the Church. And it scares me for these Christians, who chose to pretend he's not real I stead of preparing for the enemy's attack. None in a war would turn there backs on the enemy on the battle field and say their not real and expect to survive, yet this is exactly what many many Christians are doing. I also often hear people say , I just ignore him I'm afraid if I acknowledge him he'll attack me a lot more. And that's not so he just won't hide his attack as often. Does anyone think there not going to be attacked, they already are. The things one does has a lot more effect on how their attacked than believing or not does.
