God spoke through you in the perfect timing. I've been praying about this because I have wars with my evil thoughts against other people. But Jesus already won the war. He will be my strength and silence them.Thank you.
Wow. God’s timing is timeless. I struggled so much with intrusive thoughts lately and especially today. I know I’m in my breakthrough season and I still let my intrusive thoughts take hold of my mind and regret it so much. I thank God for y’all’s obedience in posting this. I am no longer captive to my intrusive thoughts. I am free in Jesus mighty name. ❤
I sometimes also struggle with intrusive thoughts and I really didn’t do anything when I have them. Only wondering where they came from but now I know that I don’t have to welcome them in and put them under the authority of Christ🙏🏾❤️
This one left me speechless many times, it made me joyful and saddened as well. All while bringing me closer to the wisdom and knowledge that Christ Jesus. While reminiscing of all that one is familiar with by having studied the Holy Writ. My thoughts are running a race against the other all within my mind. And when I feel this I try hard to call on the name of Jesus within my mind and aloud. Knowing that the devil is limited and has no power where he is not allowed. HALLELUJAH! All Glory to God for He has risen, Amen Amen and Amen.
When he said “God was scattered so we could be gathered” Amen 🙏 Former intrusive thoughts person here & since walking with God I fight them with his word so happy God rescued me! It was horrible being a prisoner to my mind , I truly was set free thank you God 🙌❤️
By the Grace of our lord Jesus Christ, I've been delivered from anxiety and dark thoughts that's been around me for so long that I thought they were me. People don't realize but most of the times, those intrusive thoughts comes from opressive spirits and when we let them sit in our minds, the devil makes it home. Of course these thoughts still come and go but now i feel empowered by the bood of my savior that's upon me to bind them all and what's left in my mind, all my own thoughts... all the doubt and insecurities that comes from my weak flesh, I take them to the Lord and the peaceful state of mind that comes with it is indescribable. I would like to go beyond and talk about how I feel like Jesus accepts everybody that's in doubt because He knows that once the Holy Spirit comes upon them, they'll understand everything but He denies and rebuke everyone that rely their own intelligence because this arrogance is what leads them to sin against the Holy Spirit.
@markan2021 first you gotta acknowledge it's a sin, then fight against it... if you're used to it, is going to be easy to backslide again as our mind get used to this mindset but if you pray and fast, always bringing these thoughts to the Lord, he'll definitely set you free from them. May He have mercy upon us!
amen!! this was an amazing message that spoke to me because i do struggle with intrusive thoughts and i always think to myself like where do they come from because it’s not like me to think of these things
Yeah I was just deliberating this last night. A synonym for deliberating is to "think on" or to "think about", to "weigh up". When put on the scale that stone that speaks a better word crushes the unrighteous thoughts🪨. We have to think on the things of God☺️.
Right on time! I've been battling with maladaptive daydreaming and there times I can stop myself from slipping and there are times I cannot. I don't deal with intrusive thoughts as much but maladaptive daydream is a tough battle to fight. Lately, my favorite scrips have been Psalm 139>23-24 and the one about taking every thought captive. When my anxiety flares up or maladaptive daydream tries it's best to hold me captive, those two scriptures are constant reminder of God's goodness.
This is wild I never noticed David was the only one in the old Testament to cast of a demon......wow. so true. So many prophets yet it was David. Thanks for that lesson
thank you so much Alex and Lokelani!! our mind is a battle field and we must aware and active to take thoughts captive! i love y’all’s discussion in breaking down how our thoughts can lead us to dangerous destinations like a lack of belief in the Holy Spirit or even confusion on who Jesus is! reclusive thoughts that are fruitful, quiet, and truthful because they ruminate on God’s Word bring life and freedom! to anyone reading this know that our thoughts that are not from God - selfishness, doubts, lust, pride, discouragement, insecurity - what ever it is … we have the ability IN CHRIST to take those thoughts captive and cast it out in Jesus name. it’s more than mental health, all our life stems from how we think so let’s think on things above… love y’all!!
I’ve been in a horrible fight with intrusive thoughts for years. They create fear and uncertainty and insecurity. ‘I’m not good enough. How could God love me with all of my sin? You’re not sharing enough, etc’ I feel like I’m SO painfully aware of my sin and it makes me fearful. I feel like God won’t love me until I’m better. I know this isn’t true but trying to overcome is extremely hard.
I thank God for you, making this video... the previous one, I did share with you how my mind's been a battlefield over the last months and I asked for prayer as I pray too for the same.. and then this video was posted, How great is our God?!! My intrusive thoughts are around what people that i deeply love spoke words (those are like seeds)to me that have hurt me deeply because they are a lie, and somehow i find myself trying to understand why this happened... the more i try to understand, it is like putting all the focus on them and yet, it does me no good and pushes me away from the very people i love and I cry out to God for I know He sees and knows it all, and He is all powerful... like you said, He can freeze those thoughts I cannot in my own strength... I deeply long for the peace Jesus brings... it reminds me of the passage where Jesus was napping peacefully in the middle of the storm... I pray for all of us that are under attack in the mind... That Jesus fills us with His peace and reigns in our hearts and minds. When you were mentioning the Fear of Men and the Fear of God, it made me stop and think about the differences and ask myself where am i ... I realized that the Fear of Men, enslaves us to others (what they say, do, believe, think, etc...),whereas the Fear of God, leads us to obey and seek God in every situation... Phil 4:8 is so beautiful how you said leads us to think of Jesus because He is all that!! Surely God's word has the answer to all our hearts and minds crave, that is a close relationship with God, Jesus being the way, the truth and the life. Everything falls into place, God's perfectly designed place when we think about Jesus, God's words and whose we are, who we belong to ❤ May God work in our hearts and our minds this week, so we see His mighty power in action and may we remember to praise God and give Him all the glory ❤
Amen Amen and... AMEN! We have a wonderful Heavenly Father indeed and his timing is perfect! You have such a beautiful and deep understanding, very insightful. By the power of Jesus Christ blood you stand victorious! Glory be to God! 🙌 You got this family just keep pushing forward, God is with you always ❤✝️🙏
Wow I love what Lokalani said about looking at the word to judge others rather then yourself! I often feel the need to defend my faith so find myself looking at the word for combat rather then change
I have thought fixated on time recently. Where I am worried about all the things I have to do not being able to fit into my time. I have thoughts regarding me being better than other people because of certain aspects of myself, like being responsible.
Thank you for blessing us today with this word. The power of thought can be so beautiful when used in accordance to Gods will. A question this sermon brought to mind is how should I go about relationships with people who were once walking with Jesus but now say they don’t need him, and how can I communicate the hope of Jesus if they are believe they are unforgivable by their blaspheming?
I know now for future reference. The reason my comments kept getting deleted was because I added a link that would lead you to a website with information about Martin Luther... Just a heads up.
i get a bad feeling about alex sometimes.. he seems like he’s fighting some demons with some of his facial expressions.. but then once he speaks, i am reminded that God is speaking through him.. i try not to judge so i do apologize, but i can’t help but feel a way sometimes when watching his face.. i’ll pray that God leads me from this judgment.. thank you both for your work..
@@moorpreciousthanrubiez i don’t know if that’s necessarily true, but i understand why you would say that.. i believe you absolutely can be free from any and ALL turmoil once you truly let go, and allow God to have dominion over your entire life.. you let go of any and all worry and doubt, and you truly allow God to flow.. no demons are allowed in that sanctuary, especially when you’ve let go of all of your past demons.. i speak only from experience, but i know everyone is different.. but we aren’t ALL fighting something.. and that’s okay.. some people are just here to help those who are..
Biblically speaking the male should be the spiritual leader, the head and the host, with the woman in a more supportive role. It seems like in this case the wife is dominant and the husband is submissive. Just my take. God bless.
Okay so I have a question. Is being stubborn about receiving God's help different than saying they don't need God. That's very scary. I know there was a time in my life where I was really lost and this was like 4 years ago. I've been through a lot of scary things but I was led back to the Lord. I have a lot of faith in the Lord but when I watch this I'm so scared and worried of blasphemy against the holy Spirit. Please help
Perhaps someone could answer better than myself but I would like to give my thoughts.. As long as you continue to trust in the Lord with all your heart you have nothing to worry about. He will protect you. The fact that this is a big concern for you is telling of how important this is to you. As it should be. I don't think being stubborn is the same as saying you don't need God's help. The more and more time you spend with God, the less and less stubborn you'll be
I use to struggle w/ being afraid of blaspheming the Holy Spirit n my frienddd my friend it’s not u who has u worry the Enemy tries this trick w/ so many believers. If ur worried abt blaspheming him he’s still with u n u haven’t blasphemed him. I, too, become worried abt sinning or grieving the Holy Spirit and I watch videos like this too but 1 John says EVEN wen OUR HEARTS condemn us God KNOWS Everything n he is greater than our hearts n feelings n worries 1 John 3:20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything Roman’s 8: 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. I hope I wasn’t off topic n that this helped ❤️ Shalom Shalom
God is love. We all fall short and sin. Love is just and merciful. Because God is loving He must judge sin, we all stand judged. Because God is merciful He provided a way out from under the weight of the law and for us to be regenerated. If we trust Jesus shed His sinless blood, died and rose from the grave He forgives us of our sins and gives us a new heart that wants to look God as our Father genuinely and delight in Him, freeing us from being slaves to sin. The rest is our mind catching up with that reality and taking hold of His teaching and truth until He returns, or we die. We aren't saved or kept saved by obedience. We can only be lost through unbelief (trusting in our own righteousness, to be or remain saved) or blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (attributing clear works of God, healing/deliverance, to demons and Satan). Commandments aren't have to's, they are what we do because we actually want God's direction and It's what fulfills us. You can't be born again without the desire to honor God. (Works based salvation "Christians" and "lawless Christians" are both wrong.) We love because God first loved us. Jesus is God, the Son, "the first and the last", God along with God the Father "the Lord God", this title is mentioned with being tied to God in Isaiah 44:6-8, and that same is sent along with the Lord God's Spirit in Isaiah 48:11-16. Jesus further claims this title also in Revelation 1:8-17. Leave catholicism/orthodox/protestant churches that preach strife, or inform them.
For the record on your topic of blasphemy I believe you are wrong if what your claim its true then did peter 90 for say to me commit blasphemy when he denied Christ 3 times? Making it that peter can't go to Heaven? Blasphemy its Define by speaking evil of the Holy Ghost! Which brings me to another conclusion If Jesus and the father and Holy Ghost are one of you speak evil of one you speak evil of all! I heard someone here on youtube call Jesus Birthday paganism due to us celebrating his birth! I believe according to the word is considered blasphemy!
My thoughts are filled with a girl who I like, I know how dangerous it is for her to proceed Christ and they come so randomly, I. needed this video so thank you, Godbless✝️🫂
