Thank you Jesus for the life of sister Joy. I was struggling with this issue recently. I don't use to watch theire movies but recently i did. And the Holy spirit was speaking to me about it because i sensed that the atmosphere around me change. I my thoughts was dirty include my words. But this morning i came across this podcast. My husband and i rededicate our life and home to the Lord. I feel good
This convo was very realistic. I once heard someone saying "Anything that we watch or listen to as entertainment is us enjoying seeing someonelse sinning".That changed my whole perspective.
God is so good! Wow, that's amazing! I think I'm also being called to stop tv altogether, just like I've completely stopped secular music. Lord, speak for I am listening!
This video reminds me the Word from Psalm 101:3 where the psalmist says "I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it."
This is so true, when i used to watch Chinese dramas and videos, I thought daily about divorce. I hated my husband and he hated me. We had problems daily! And, i was already born again mind you. I could feel darkness in my home. Sometimes when i lay down to sleep I'll see dark figures moving up and down in my kitchen. No good thing was happening to me. I was drowning in debt. No job. I lost my very good job after just a month. The devil enticed me with these movies and they became an addiction. But the Lord had mercy on me and delivered me. Since then my home has become peaceful and sweet. The Mercy of God is so great! The Lord is beautiful and wonderful. I love Him. I also have a great job now.
Thank you for this video. God has been repeatedly warning me concerning these secular movies, but I felt I was born again enough to resist the messages. Now I know better. God bless you both.
I stopped watching Nollywood movies. They are now porn shows. From the script to the provocative dressing of the women to the kissing scenes to the strong explicit sexual suggestive scenes. My spirit was never settled, I had to stop.
This is something that I've been realizing lately, that I take in too much secular content. Content about the latest Hollywood drama and gossip about celebrities that I don't even know about. I'm glad I watched this.
Nigerian Christian movie recommendations here: 1. Abattoir 2. Power couple 3. Legion 4. Prophet suddenly Infact, Nigerian Christian movie channels on RU-vid to be followed: 1. Damilola Mike-Bamiloye 2. The Winlos 3. Fejos Baba TV 4. Evom TV God bless you abundantly
I wanted to share my experience. Once I have been saved by Jesus and I quit listening to secular music and I was only hearings songs which praise God. Eventhough I hear secular songs played in shops or in buses I will avoid by hearing worship songs. But one time I heard one song being used everywhere in social media and which was popular at that time and it had words in the song like Holy Spirit and all the song was more of like motivational and i thought its a christian song. So I added it to my play list. While I was in travel I started to play the Playlist and when that song played. I immediately saw a vision Leviticus 9:22 text is burning in fire. I went home and I was asking Holy Spirit what's the meaning and I started to look sermon and then I came to know that the song eventhough has words motivational and had Gods name. Still it didn't come from the right Spirit and Jesus doesn't accept that as a worship for him. So from then I carefully choose songs to praise and worship him as Leviticus 9:22 shows when worshiped just like God commands then fire came down from God as acceptance of worship and God blessed the people and in the next chapter when 2 people tried to worship God in their own way were consumed by fire as God is Holy. I hope my experience edify our Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Agree fully with you! I carefully go through even praise and worship songs! Most of the popular ones are not doctrinally sound 🥴 So glad you know these things 🙌
@@benvinda00I didn't mention the song thinking it may lead people to hear it out of curiosity as it's a pop song and it may affect people by opening doors for Satan. Definitely its not Spirit lead me by Hillsong. It's one of my favorite song. When I hear or sing it, I feel I'm driven close to God and it's a perfect song to surrender and seek Holy Spirit to guide through the way.
"The devil will not give you his platform until you are sold. God will not entrust you with his platform until you are sold". Powerful dear sister Joy.
I beg and request everyone here to pray for me so that I get completely free from lust.Everytime i try to follow God and then few days after that lust attacks me and I fail always,its like a rollercoaster.Please don't ignore my , your one small prayer has the power to save me
I pray for you shreenali, that you will be able to lean upon God, like a man with weak legs leans upon his staff. Then you will find the strength to kick this habit. With your own will power you will not be able to. So I pray that each time temptation comes you will fall upon God, His Word and prayer to Him. Even when you fail lean upon the same. You will have deliverance and victory and you will be able to stand where you fell and help others
I'm Nigerian. Do you remember the mixed reviews of Blood sisters? Some Christians said it was demonic. Also they've been putting more nudity in the Netflix movies now. But I didn't know about the demonic aspects before now. Though recently I've been questioning the origins of Nollywood, especially the many occult themed movies.

Hi akka my name is keerthana genesis i am 16 years old i started my journey with christ when i was 13. God always lifted me up when ever i fell down and showed me a way. I see your videos a lot and i can see that god is working through your life and saving many people . Your life is the proof of gods love . May god bless you ❤
Years ago, I watched Vihans video on secular music. I had guilt since watching secular stuff. I tried to reason that if i watch moderately then no issues. But I went on watching and I wrestled on the inside. It destroyed my prayer life, which affected my behaviour and thought patterns. Every single point spoken in this video is true.
So true my life also changed in 2020 after watching that video. I hate secular music from that time onwards. God opened my spiritual eyes to understand the spirit things and discern the spirits before believing them. It was really an eye opener God used Vihan for this purpose. I thank God for what he started in my life from that time onwards.
I`m not a fan on commenting but had to do this. The Holy Spirit has being telling and warning about this and have been doing so coming across this video gives me a confirmation and encourages me to keep up with it. Thank you Holy Spirit once again for the truth and conviction. God bless you Madam Vihan and Madam Joy for sharing with us.
This day I was having a conversation with ma siblings and they were telling me about a GAY, a well known in my country, so while we were talking I quickly search him and guess what after watching him, Swearing words were popping up in my head and I have to stop it with prayers. We believers we have to be careful with what we are watching and listening to. Not every person you must listen to or read their comments unless you are ready for spiritual battle. Hi vihan❤. Keep doing the work of the kingdom
This is very true. We had to stop watching Nollywood film in our house. The world have found a way to subtitle inject seductive spirits into these movies. And most time you have innocent child watching this things and having their mind polluted and corrupted. ! God bless you both for this interview
Wow thank you Vihan for this interview with joy just the same thing Erika Mukisa of Kenya also talked about the entertainment industry.May the Lord have mercy upon us
The Lord keeps giving me confirmation!!! He is awesome! We must be content with Him only! Then these things wont even matter. I rarely stuck to my conviction about watching specifically romance drama movies and i realized that i need to stick to it!! I ought to fill myself up with Him and Him only cause if its not drawing me nearer its taking me away. Im too desperate for Him to have that.
The things she is explaining, the after effects you have watching secular movie and music videos are true , there is something that happens to actions and words which doesn't glorifies God , thank you for this video
@@VihanDamaris God recently taught me this and I have been careful about it secular music and movies really corrupts your spirit and mind in a way that you feel the emptiness inside yourself, please pray for me that I may be careful with the choice of entertainment I watch , coz I am currently 19 years old and still learning how to maintain a relationship with God
Many years ago i enjoyed a YT show called Good Mythical Morning. Over the years the two men on the show, who used to be Christians, have turned away from Christ and embraced the world and their ways. I had such a difficult time leaving that show. I loved the hosts (and still do - and pray for them) but I finally walked away. Thank God. ❤
Oh wow! I've seen one or two vids of them and think they're cool but yea something's definitely off spiritually. It makes sense that they used to be Christians. I pray they find Jesus! Thanks for sharing!
For all those saying the Holy Spirit never departed, please read & understand the following verses- “those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you” Romans 8:8,9 This is a very black and white passage which says we are either living in the flesh (flesh dominating us) or in the Holy Spirit (led by the Holy Spirit). If we are not in the flesh, then we are in the Spirit. If the Holy Spirit dwells in us, we are not in the flesh (we do not follow the flesh in sin). If we follow the flesh (sin), vice versa- we are not in the Spirit, I.e. the Holy Spirit doesn’t dwell in us. You think God will be subject to flesh inside us? He cannot. If you’re still not convinced, Please read about King Saul, Judas, and the rest of the Bible which has this written all over it. We can’t be following God and sin and still expect that He lives in us while we sin. The audacity!
The Sipirt of the Lord left Saul. Before Jesue paid it all the HS was not indwelling all who followed God. Thats why Jesus instructed His disciples to wait in Jerusalem untill His Father sent the Helper to them. Judus is the son of Perdition it states and evil spirt filled him and he didnt have the HS yet in the 1st place as none of them did at that time. Where in scripture is it started or impled that the HS leaves us? Rather we leave the Trinity on a shelf to do us, but that's not an absence of presence. Review 1st Corinthians 6:15-18 which provides some insight on why we shouldn't be okay with sin because we belong to God and we were bought with a price and we are no longer our own and we don't need to be joining the the Holy Spirit in such debauchery. Not that the Holy Spirit is joining us in sin by partaking in it but it's like us dragging Him along and further grieving Him as we're doing things He's encouraging us and telling us not to do and bringing scripture to remembrance that we don't need to do it and we don't have to do it because God has made a way of Escape etc.
@@neff02 The devil will convince us anything to not look at the truth for what it clearly says. Judas was given power over evil by Jesus and he cast out demons and healed the sick just like the other disciples. Yet he stole from the treasury and eventually Satan entered him. Or how about Ananias in Acts 5 who was a Christian after the Holy Spirit was given to indwell us? Read this verse - Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?...When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. " Acts 5:3-5 We can never 'drag the Holy Spirit along' with our sin. He's not a wimp who follows us. Either we follow Him and 'have' the Holy Spirit, or we follow the devil and 'have' the devil. Read Revelations - Jesus' letters to the churches for more.
@@VihanDamaris John 14:16-18 KJV 16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;" Forever~* How do you think Ananias was trying to lie to the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit was indwelling with him yet he thought he could lie and not be found out, yet the Holy Spirt reveald to the apostles the truth of the matter. The Trinity is omnipotent and omnipresent. The HS only indwelling thoese who accept the gift of salvation making Jesus Lord of their lives. The scripture states the world can not recive Him, they had to have Him to be guilty of trying to lie to the Holy Spirit. John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless:" Do you have any scripture to support such a belief more ?If the Holy Spirt leaves how can He do His job of reminding us of the truth, comforting, helping us? Isn't that like saying Jesus leaves us,when scripture and He stated we can do nothing outside Him? Vine and branches and He will never leave nor forsake us. You said believing as if it were not scripture, as if believing it is deceit of the devil? The story referenced doesn't state the HS left them, that can be presumed though but not stated nor implied as a warning aspect. Rather not to try and lie to the HS.
This is huge! once you start watching or listening to music the curse words are endless and you won’t even notice it until you begin to pay attention to everything. Only Christ Jesus can save us.
This conversation was so much eye opening. We are made to think it's "just" entertainment but yet again we are being deceived by the devil. Will never look at secular entertainment the same way again.
Just a few days ago only....I listened to a secular song on repeat...and I don't know why I liked it so much despite knowing that I shouldn't be listening to it..and a problem arose in my house which stopped after I stopped listening to that song...😮😮
"But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness" - we need to be more aware and wary of what we see.. i struggle with this as well. Remember first look might be accidental ...second is not !!
This has touched me a lot....I am someone who was told to stop listening to secular music, as well as wear trousers but I don't what pushes me to continue listening to this time of music. And in 2021 angel Michael told me that I should do as I please but the Lord is not happy. I stopped for a few days and continued again but, to my surprise whenever I am listening to music I would ask myself "what am I doing" I could not find an answer. I feel like am being forced listening to the music. On the other hand I thought nollywood was better than holly until I was visited but some of the popular actresses and actors, as well as saw some of them with growing eyes. I was very surprised because these claim to talk about God more even praying.....to cut the story short thanks Joy for sharing and keep spreading the gospel of christ. I have learned alot from your testimony, and I will do my best to change as well.
I Agree with Joy 1000%.in 1997 I became born AGAIN in high school and the brethren warned me about secular music but, I'm a musician so I didn't listen. In 2000, I decided I was going to be bigger than Micheal Jackson and my mentor was Rkelly, spent these years been a Christian and developing into a very good musician but I just couldn't BLOW as we say in Nigeria. The HOLY Spirit has been pressing me all along and I learnt these things and more knowing that you CANNOT BLOW UP without SPIRITS. Secular music can only become famous when impacted by devils , And God won't give a secular musician/artists too fame cause, He will be promoting His Enemies Agenda.
What a revelation! Thank you Vihan for inviting Joy to your channel. I had always wondered why I lose my peace and begin cussing when I indulge in secular movies and songs? Now I know why. I'm going to share this video with my friends. Keep up the good work my friend and God bless.
This video is much needed. Thank you for making this video and for the courage to put it out. Praise God. Thank you so much Vihan for encouraging me to be radical for Jesus. Have been blessed by your videos. ✨
It's always helpful to share our testimonies- we learn so much from each other's experience to the glory of God! There is something contagious about the spirits of swearing and lust. There is something more powerful in sharing our faith in Christ.
Wow this is what I need to see and hear i have been repeatedly hearing in my spirit not to be hoodwinked by devil i kept wondering what was that and then i came across this praise God cOz sometimes i too consume secular stuffs in the name of entertainment. We should not be conformed with the patterns and of the world
So amazed how God has been pulling your heart towards this already, and that He confirmed it through this video! It’s an answered prayer. Thank you for sharing it to our encouragement, and inspiration for others. 🫂
Thank you Vihaan ..for making this video..God truly directed you wisely...it is the need of the hour a burning issue..iam glad u brought it up. How good that the Lord made u meet Joy . God bless you and your ministry
The Holy Spirit grieves us, but he doesn’t leave us. He’s the one the fills us with conviction to not see these things. If he left us we wouldn’t have that guilt or conviction.
He( Holy spirit) can leave especially when He had made us aware of the sin and then we still do it..David had said when pleading with the LORD in psalms "Take not thy Spirit from me"
@@Bemy-hs8odThe Word says he will never leave you nor forsake you and no one can take you out of his hand. When we grieve the Holy Spirit with sin, he gets quiet, but never leaves. Repentance of sin then makes your relationship right again.
@@Bemy-hs8odit was the Holy Spirit of God and His anointing upon David. As the Spirit of the Lord left Saul when he went against the Word of God the Holy Spirit was not indwelling all followers of God, that's why Jesus told his disciples to wait until the Helper was sent to them the "Holy Spirit". Now through the blood of Jesus, those who accept are sealed with the Holy Spirt. He doesnt leave us but we can leave Him. Also think of scripture where it speaks on sin and how we should not practice such grieeving the HS within us with our sins.(joing the body/"temple" with a harlet/sin) 1Corinthians 6:16-18

@@Jesusandcoffee3382 very true..the Word does say that..God will never forsake the sinner's genuine repentance and will come everytime we earnestly call Him..but darkness(sin) and light can't dwell together..but to better understand this then can u explain why Jesus Christ said when He was on the cross "Father why have you forsaken me" ?
O dear, you picked up such an important topic to discuss. Secular media is big time de-sensitivizing us. This needs to be shared. May God bless this video and make it reach to many many people who are called to be God's holy people.
Vihaan you are really gem in Kingdom of God in times like this because only youth can be game changer to youth your efforts on RU-vid video is most important thing in this generation and so rare I pray I could be influencer to Christain youth like you❤
Thank you for your encouragement! If we’re influenced by Christ we will definitely end up influencing anyone God brings us to, all ages! Even Jesus and His disciples were pretty young but they went to everyone! 🙌
It even goes beyond movies and music now. I ve seen one or two things in skits and I believe its in skits too. Skits you may think are just innocent comedies etc.
Thanks for the eye opening message I have realize that in the past like 4 or five months I have been so emersed in Nollywood movie and I watch them more and more download more on my phone to watch later and intern my my prayer life has been affected and gone down I don't commune with God as much as I did for longer hours to know the plans and purposes he has for my life. This message is timely last Sunday but one one of our pastor preached and Joy has made it so real, thank you so much
Thank you for this interview with Joy, it is indeed profound. I wish God would open people's eyes especially that of believers who think that we are called to part of the world including secular media to reach to the people. In my old life I've tried to do that with my infamous attempt in becoming a dj and playing for God... I tried to take God along with me to places where they worshipped the enemy and I was just fooling myself into believing that God's with me. I'm grateful God opened my eyes and saved me. Since my returning back home to the Father I just naturally stopped watching secular media. I used to watch sitcoms thinking it's harmless but the message and the language is no better there. I sometimes sigh and ask God what can I watch for entertainment lol. I only binge something during my food break and I try to look for something and trust me it's so frustrating that there's none absolutely nothing that I can watch without hurting my soul. Pleasantly surprised to see this interview. God is calling His children to guard their eyes and ears and hearts and we need to prioritize God over entertainment. Everyone scrolls through insta and facebook and some random porn stuff pops up... you don't even have to be deliberately searching for it. So yeah we need to be deliberate in protecting ourselves as Satan is working overtime to pervert our souls. Well in the beginning it seemed crazy to me to quit movies, series and I didn't know what to do but few years later now I no longer need it and feel absolutely fine. Praise God for it!
I have been sick for two years and was also used as a sacrifice at my job. I felt like a person who didn't have water and blood .but whenever I went to hospital they said said everything was well but man I felt like I had no spirit in side of me .and whenever I went to pastor's to pray for mi they told mi the cause was from my job and I worked with a money transfer company. Mi and my family were saved and really started building up a prayer alter and that's how my dear I started regaining energy and my appetite back. I was a person who could not even bath my self just being fed even walking was a problem..but I thank God that he is good a never fails us and am alive.
Such a wonderful and blessed interview! Im in the process to cut all secular entertainments of my life and all those juicy dramas with love etc. im fighting it. Make sense i always felt bad after watching it. Praise the Lord!
Thanks Vihan for another amazing spirit filled expose of darkness through the light of Jesus Christ by bringing Joy to the video and telling us more about God's purpose and devil's atrocities. So true what joy said I can relate it in my life what I was going through while listening to secular music and secular movies.
Oh wow I will have to look for that as I love Randy Kay ❤️ I was just selected as a winner of one his books yesterday during a live Q & A Blessings To You 🕊️
Thank you so much. You just deliver me from Nollywood. Those days I even forgot my bible committing my time watching Nollywood movies. God just deliver me. Thank you so much
Shalom my loving sisters in Christ. I want to thank you for being servants of the Lord. For doing the work that has lead you to making this video. The Lord lead me to this video after I prayed for wisdom on a personal matter, and I think this video gave me the wisdom I prayed for. Because of this video, I have gained a better understanding of my situation. I have been battling sexual sin all of my life. Through the Holy Spirit, I've been able to trace it back to the beginning of this sin. He made me remember a movie I watched as a child. I didn't fully understand how that movie lead me to battling lust and committing so many disgusting acts. Your story has revealed to me, that I was under a demonic spell after watching that movie. The movie awakened my sexuality too early in life. I was only about 7 years old. I've been battle sexual sin and rejection my whole childhood. Thank you so much. The Lord says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge". Today, I've gained knowledge that will help me in my journey with Christ. God bless you both! Please keep going the good works as it is saving your brothers and sisters. You are indeed producing fruit, and my the Lord reward you for your good works. Amen.
This is the best news we could hear back! Thanks for taking the time to share. God bless you and deliver you from every demonic spell in Jesus name. I'm sure you believe in Jesus and have repented of your sins, then you may rebuke everything you've been revealed by the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ. And fully expect that God would answer and deliver you from this day onwards. Keep following Jesus by His Holy Spirit! He will guide you in all the ways of righteousness, leading to everlasting life ❤
This has given me an ASSIGNMENT as a Christian/believer. We MUST OCCUPY the media sector. If the world doesn’t create space for us, we create our own. We won’t leave the lives and convictions of our children and the generations to come to the world! 📌 I’m doing that with @heystarta
Hey Vishram, thank u for this. I feel like nowadys most movies are labelled Christian but yet they are not. Maybe u can share a list of great Christian movies, and channels like urs
My dear Joy, I can understand what you mean when you say it felt like the Holy Spirit left you, He didn't leave you, the Holy Spirit never leaves you, what happened was that virtue left you, I often have same experience when I deviate too

Joy you are saying the truth when i came to the LORD i used to love watching Nigerian movies but the Lord told me to stop so i stopped now i watch mount zion christian movies and fejosbaba tv. The devil does try to tempt me tho and tell me its not a big deal when it actually is. THE EYE IS THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL
There was a 3 hr interview that came on a channel PrayerStorm.... with an african pastor.... its very similar to the interview you have shared... but please do test every spirit...
I'm so glad I found your channel!! I was having this conversation recently with someone about movies and why it is dangerous for Christians to watch movies and listen to secular music. So this video really helps in convincing them about this. Thank you for the Christian music and movies playlist! God bless!
It's really an eye opener for me personally as a servant of God. We have to choose between Hot or Cold, Life or Death, Jesus or Devil we can not be in middle. Thank you Vihan and Joy, I strongly believe this video going to change the lot of Young 🌱 ones. I am praying for you both.
