Can you please pray for me? 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I didn’t ask to be born into this world . And yet here I am, suffering for as long as I can remember, misunderstood, mistreated or hated by almost everyone I’ve been given to be around. My childhood was miserable, without love, understanding or compassion. I was blamed for almost everything I did or said. I always thought that as an adult things would be different. But yet again I was wrong. I’m a stranger to everyone I know , even those who are the closest to me. I’m the misfit, the rejected, the evil one, yet I’ve never done anything wrong to anybody. I believe in GOD. I love JESUS. But the more I pray, the worst things get. I don’t know what to do. And now I want to get over with everything. I don’t belong to this world, this life or this place. I can’t do this anymore. I’m Lost...

What people fail to realize about this is this: pigs, the filthiest animals, would rather drown than be possessed by an unclean spirit, and yet we who are made in God's image, fearlessly welcome entry to places and things unclean spirits dwell. Its rather sad and pathetic on our behalf that a pig has more spiritual sense than us.
Jesus allowed the demons to go into the pigs and they entered them and then they ran into the water and drowned. The pigs weren’t running away from the demons like they had a choice in the matter!
@@michaelwoolley576 why would demons, who need a body to thrive decide to drown the very bodies theu chose to possess? That makes no sense. Christ knew the pigs wouldn't accept them.
No...I think it's more of a failure of realization of your part. You're going under the assumption that the PIGS decided to do anything at all. Which is likely false. Look at how easily manipulated farm animals are when ordered by mere humans. Imagine something more powerful giving orders. Shocker. They'd do it. And that's assuming they have any control at all. The demons puppeteered the pigs bodies and drowned themselves within the pigs. They chose that.
Hi there, May i share with you a video of Noah's ark located on Mount Ararat as per Genesis 8:4 “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.” czcams.com/video/Vq_Ar33DWTw/video.html (Please note: ignore the animation and concentrate on the real visual evidence presented) Moreover, did you know that Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia as per Galatians 4:25“..mount Sinai in Arabia..." on the mount Jebal Al Lawz and is literally burnt at the top when GOD had descended on it Exodus 19:18 “And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire...".

@Creeping Deth. Hi there, The doctrine of 1 Being playing 3 parts (the Trinity doctrine) is unbiblical. 1 John 5:7 "there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This verse is one that I have come across that is used to back up the Trinity Doctrine just because it states 'they are one'. Oneness here means in agreement and not that it is 1 Being playing 3 parts, but rather 3 Beings playing their parts (3 GODS). Notice in the same verse it states these (3). Notice a conversation between the GODHEAD as per Genesis 1:26 King James Version 26 "..Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." US is plural and not singular, and this was a conversation between them. Notice the same oness used to describe a married man and woman (who clearly are not 1 being, but 2 in agreement) Mark 10:7-8 “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8) And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh." Notice also the oneness or agreement as per John 17:21 "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us..." Moreover, the GODHEAD is in the Bible as per Acts 17:29 "..we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device." Romans 1:20 "..and Godhead..." Colossians 2:9 "..all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" GOD Bless :) Think about it, why would the Being pray to Himself
The bottom line, the absolute foundation of all God's interactions with humanity is this : WORSHIP ME OR I'LL BURN YOU ALIVE. Likewise in the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar the Second decreed that when the music was played everyone must bow to the statue of him or be burned alive in a furnace. The Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abedneggo refused according to the story but ironically the Babylonian king was demanding worship ( just like God ) and threatening to torture with fire ( just like God ) anyone who would not submit. Gee...how could you not love him ? 🤣
@@hellkat2285worship can also mean respect, give attention too, love, cherish and etc. God created you and this is how you behave. That’s like being born from your Father and your Dad tells you to respect him or you’ll be kicked out the house for your disrespect. God created you for a purpose because you’re not an accident and he created you to have a relationship with you. Think about it this way, you create a car and you want the car to drive and the car gets created and it’s like nah I’m not driving or listening to you. What?? Then what’s the point of the car? That’s it’s purpose. God has a purpose for you bro but not many find it or fulfill it. Don’t let that be you. God loves you dearly my friend. I hope you repent and allow Jesus into your heart and you can and will experience the depths of his everlasting love.
Thank you for explaining this Bible account. I've been a Christian for many years & this event has always perplexed me. I love the Word of God. May God bless you all ... sending greetings from BC, Canada 🇨🇦
Dear Sister,the demons dont wanted to move into the Pigs,because they need a body to possess.. In a way, Jesus felt sorry for them... They pleaded not to have to drive into the abyss.... Not because they "need" Someone to possess.. Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” He said: “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him. 31 And they kept entreating him not to order them to go away into the abyss. 32 Now a herd of a considerable number of swine was feeding there on the mountain; so they entreated him to permit them to enter into those. And he gave them permission. Its interesting,we are all brothers,but we all cant see everything,if we read the same verse... But we Can Trust Fully the Word of God,forever... God bless you Brothers..
Incredible story, the fact that demons desire any form of physicality over anything else is so telling. It is my belief that we are surrounded by the possessed and may never even know it.
We are constantly fighting against the "powers" of deception and the "principalities" of the air (Ephesians 6,12)... the powers try to seduce us by whispering complements and praises in our ears, filling our minds with prideful thoughts, while the lower-ranked principalities who merely cause havoc hurl hateful insults at us as they fly past overhead. Everyone hears these, and assumes they are just their own thoughts in their own head, their inner monologue, but St John of the Ladder and many other Desert Ascetics have shown the opposite is the truth.
@Mark Bush the urban dictionary is fiction, but based on its definition of your name I’m starting to believe that too. A Mark A person who believes everything he or she hears or is so out of place that they are easily targeted by people that mean harm or fair game for bullies. That person is so easily fooled everyone can tell that they are a mark.
Ah, but still I find the most wonderful part at the end of the story. The man who was freed, worshiped Jesus!!! And asked Jesus if he could come with him! Surprising and interesting, Jesus said it isn’t necessary to come with me…stay with your family and tell them the amazing things God has done for you! This is what we should do as well!
U speak truth, but I'd like to point out some truth. Pigs commited suicide over having demons in them. Owners saw and said to Jesus leave: rather than repent. And lastly, what about the life and where did this guy go spread the gospel. Colleges limit historical Christianity to just Constantine Catholic to Protestant tree. What about the ppl who went out that weren't just of the 12.
@@newhorizon1355 There were many apostles, and to this day there are still churches that have descended directly from the original but you won't easily find them.
@@regsun7947 No church can tell you outside the new testament where & how 11 of the 12 were martyred? except for the Catholics, From what I studied and found out the Catholics and the Orthodox church were one at a time, then after the Catholics became a nation religion (Rome) the orthodox split with them, the Orthodox church would be the closest thing to what the Apostles left behind.
A heard homily alluded the man's situation to family disputes ... and JESUS saw reconciliation and a loving family life the better way/ option. Re.. the pigs, was it just because they were nearby or as a habitation, or is there more to it, namely.... Not to cast your pearls after swine. Forbidden food (now known as diseased). Wallows in mud, esp soon after being cleansed. Point being, the demons are comfortable in/ with pigs, just as any sustainably Unrepentant sinner.
In today's world, there is wickedness, evil on every block, pornography and lust of the fleash flourishing in our young folks minds, I am unafraid, unbridled and stand firm on the word of God.he is our only hope and I pray this country gets it together before all is lost....
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
I’ve been born again as of Nov. 2018. I always believed in God and became a lukewarm Christian over time. I did shrooms, drank, but mostly smoked pot everyday. I look back and can’t believe how patient Jesus has been waiting for me (I’m 40). I have been saved by an angel or Jesus (not sure at the time) at least twice, but possibly 3 times. A voice told me to let off the gas pedal when I was going through an intersection, as soon as I did, a truck blew a stop sign that would have killed me. I also fell asleep at the wheel another time and WOKE up while driving sitting upright and very much positioned like a robot. I ended up on the other side of town somehow! Fell into a pool’s deep end as a child, somehow my mother knew to check on me and pulled me out. I had another experience where I was praying about a relative that was brutally murdered and burned alive years prior. I was HIT like a sledgehammer with unexplainable peace and joy. Instantly tears poured out of my eyes and I had the breath sucked out of me, totally winded. It was like I was experiencing the joy of heaven but my human body could not handle it! I also experienced an interaction with several demons in the basement of a psychic lady’s house who summoned them and spoke to them nightly. The fear and anger I felt as their eyes pierced my soul was like nothing of this earth......,over and over and over Jesus was calling me!!! I was too much of a fool to notice, even though I believed in Him! In November of 2018, after a minor argument with my fiancée, I heard a demon’s voice talk to me telepathically in my mind- “I hate you, I’ll kill you and tear your family apart.” With the most conviction in my soul I commanded that thing to leave my house in the name of Jesus Christ. Every room in the house I yelled at it. I felt our Lord blast through my house and beat those things down! Whoosh gone! I prayed and thanked him and repented for allowing them to get close to me. He talked to me telepathically asking me questions and made me feel the guilt of my sins. Lots of information as a sort of psychic download into my heart and mind simultaneously. Question 1: “After all I’ve done for you, what have you done for Me, and others?” Question 2: “Am I NOT enough for you?” Then, the weight of my sins lifted, it was incredible. Since that moment, I’ve had no desire to drink, smoke, blaspheme, masterbate, be angry, stressed out or sin at all. Wanting to share love with no other possible explanation. I notice the tiniest signs he puts in my path....I see them right away and chuckle, seeing He really does work in mysterious ways. I fully understand how to have a relationship with him and not need to physically see or hear our relationship. He is incredible people! Let him into your heart! I had felt in my soul the the extremes of joy and sorrow through just some of my life experiences..... Feeling the presence of God and Satan deep inside through strange encounters. For that, I am blessed to KNOW Christianity is the truth, yet I STILL tried to not fully commit. He wants us all to repent and accept Him. He actually told me this! Don’t think you can sin all your life and God will be OK with it. He really will reward you if you follow with all your heart!!

@@RosieEnigma777 Do you think Our Lord lacks a sense of humor? Or maybe you lack it. I was making a joke about how a command might call into question a more polite way of saying it, which would be silly in this case. See, if I may speak about the Theory of Comedy, it's the incongruity of the all-powerful Jesus being polite with demons that makes it funny. Of course, once I have to explain it, it's no longer funny. Do you think God or Jesus is/was so fragile he cannot take a joke? Why are people so frightened of a joke about a supposedly Divine character?
right god atches every tiime a child is abused !! good father? nope , you will say blah blah blah free will!! lol free will of the child or the abuser? the very concept is stupid if god sees all then he is evil or un caring the only other option is there is no sky daddys at all
God is great, God is merciful, God is compassionate, God is loving, God is all knowing, and (not to mention) countless other qualities. If you were God; all knowing, would you subject your children to an excessive torment or abuse or would you take them before it gets worse? What if death(I have experienced death more than I care to relay and I can tell you for certain that it is not unpleasant, maybe for a moment, but it is then overwhelmed by the complete and unconditional love of the one infinite creator) was the most Pleasant thing you could imagine? All this I say is just to bring a different perspective on what God really is, everything that I can explain will never do justice to the real and true nature of God which is unconditional love in its greatest form and more. I don't need to give Credence or even explanation to what you have displayed as your belief system but I would like to relate to those who are willing and wish to know the truth that is this which is presented to you in the form of mere human words; God is everywhere; in everything, in every existential and minut form which speaks to you and only you in every way. That voice in your head that tells you to go for something or not, that is God, that is the existential existence of the one infinite creator that is prominent throughout your life, always.
sherwood smallidge/ you obviously have never read the bible for any length of time, if you had you’d know that He doesn’t save us FROM the world of which He said we WOULD have troubles, He said He would save us IN IT. It’s the hardships that create a useful vessel to do His work, giving comfort to those in trouble with the comfort He gave to us in our troubles. Try maturing enough to NOT think it’s all about your own selfish, self-centred happiness but the higher purpose of showing His compassion and care in the midst of the chaos. Stop thinking like a child and be an adult.
"they begged Him to leave their region" i just read the story this afternoon and i laugh when i read that, they saw Jesus and they begged Him to leave. what?😂 how fool they are to love the pigs more than Jesus, and i start look at myself and realized that those ppl in that story was me, and those pigs are my sins, i used to love sin against God, and i refuse Jesus's mercy to help me😭 but Glory to God, Jesus is so faithful to me, He still give me chance till im 22, and i accept Him as my personal Lord and savior❤❤
@@ethnocentricfun991 amen, we need that prayer everyday. Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
In this world, this happens every day constantly. We know Jesus and yet we reject Him in pursuit of wealth, sex, pleasure, comfort, etc. of fear of losing any of these worldly assets.
Tonya that is so good.... I love that comment. "You know they knew who he was, but that was not what they were expecting." My sheep know my voice. John 10:27,28
This is beautiful! Gracious and merciful Jesus leaves but forbids the man to go with him but to stay and TELL everyone what God has done for him. Even after they had failed to choose him over wealth, he gave them a chance to see his good works in the life of the saved man. This indeed is beautiful.
On top of everything mentioned in this video: The demons chose the pigs because they were intent on tormenting the people in that area. The demons caused the herd of pigs to be destroyed as a last ditch effort to bring harm to the people in that area. It was allowed because pigs are unclean animals, and from the perspective of Torah, which Jesus completely observed, they weren’t good for the people because it made them unclean, which separated them from God. The people begged Him to depart from them because they attributed what they perceived as their loss to the wrong source. They neglected to see the multiple blessings bestowed, and ultimately rejected the salvation that stood before them. This is a great lesson on how demons work. Even when they’re cast out, they will seek to destroy and deceive as they depart, often taking things that seem to be valuable with them as they go. The trial we face is whether or not we allow that which is lost to separate us from the source of our salvation, or do we chose to cling to Him despite our perceived loss.
@@disguisedcentennial835 Yea, well that could be because this pastor's theory is wrong, convoluted and full of irrelevant stuff not related to why the demons chose the pigs. Seriously, just listened to 6 mins of this pastor rail on about everything but the question someone asked him... it was ridiculous.
Mostly true statement . They had bodies at one time. Pre flood they were the offspring of angels and the daughters of men. Gen 3. They haven’t been judged yet so they are basically in limbo.
Dont quote me on this, but I heard somewhere that demons without a physical body are constantly in pain and torture. That they possess their subjects in order to feel some sort of relief.
When I was a youngling in college and high school, I was sucked into the cult of Atheism, which is essentially an anti-God cult. They pretend as though they don't believe in any gods, but spend 90% of their time bashing our Christian God, Jesus, etc. In those times, I felt no joy or inspiration. I was lost to Earthly desires and cravings of the flesh. My spirit, was dying and on life support. Then, a good Christian friend of mine made an effort. He convinced me to go to church with him. A couple of times. And although I didn't re-awaken yet, I felt the Holy Spirit in that church. And it started my skepticism of atheism. The profound feeling that overwhelms your body, and makes you literally feel the inspiration and love of Christ. For a long time afterwards, I was confused, and coping with that realization. I created a fantasy that God exists, but that He is probably nothing like we expect based on Christianity or any other interpretation. I thought that God was more of an observer with a passive role. About a year ago, I was finally awakened. I started really looking into God. Watching videos from pastors, and reading Bible passages, and I realized the profound truth of the Bible. It's wisdom and ability to convey the state of mind of societies, as well as the message of what it takes to be truly happy are the only path that has worked to ease the hardships of my life, and bring back my spirit. Anyone professing to be happy without God, to me, is a liar. I've lived that life, and I've seen people living those lives, and no matter how much they lie and profess that they are happy, content, and satisfied, I know they lie. There is a fear in them, a fear of death. A fear of losing the material. A fear of losing the earthly and the flesh. Tell me then, how can one be happy or have purpose when one fears the loss of earthly things? When one values their flesh and desires over their values and salvation?
@@FrostyPixelsOG i have a question, if atheist doesn't believe in God, why are they still have interest on asking about God? And they still go and listen to these Christian channels and research more about Christianity?

This was a town on the sea of Galilee. Jesus never spoke to anyone other than Jews and he never left the area around the Sea of Galilee. It wasn’t until after his death that Saul, a gentile, was given the Holy Spirit by the angel who stoped him on the road. He was told then to take the gospel to the gentiles. So these herders and the towns people were Jews. It was not against the law of the Jews to raise pigs and sell them to the gentiles. This was by all the evidence the towns industry. They were pig farmers and legion was a demon that was working with them in their business. The man or men they were possessing we’re terrifying anyone who ventured near the towns herd of pigs and so we can deduce that the town liked the situation as it stood. Now when Jesus saw what was happening he was most likely aware of the whole situation. When Legion came out of the man/men (the scary protector of the herd and toy of the demon) and went into the pigs and stampeded them into the sea off the cliff.... it was the demons revenge on Jesus...knowing the towns people would hate Jesus for causing the demon to come out of the man and destroying their industry along with all their product. The pigs all drowned in the sea of Galilee but legion would not die until it was his time at the end of the last days. Legion would simply go away looking for another Host. The possessed man/men would most likely be the only one(s) to appreciate what Jesus did for them. Thus the angry attitude of the town that forced Jesus to leave or else.
One day I ask Jesus that I wanted to take his picture, then in Jan 2019 I saw his face in the clouds, I took 2 pictures , with my cellphone, in the picture I could see his right arm above his head, and on his hand the nail print. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer.
As a newly, very young married man, I learned the Power of God's Word and this very passage when our family was demonically attacked one night. Earlier that day, without my knowledge, my wife was prepared to give her life to Christ but didn't. Later that night after we had gone to bed there was an evil, cold presence that entered our room that was not of this world. I began to read this very passage and the presence left. As soon as I closed the Bible and set it on the nightstand, the presence was back with even more displays. This time, we went to Romans 10 and after my wife professed her Faith in Christ, it left for good. The Word became Flesh, The Word is Alive, The Word is Powerful and we have a Saviour Who has Overcome everything that was against us! Amen

@cruz carchevy Yes restored, same earth though When Noah got out of the Ark it was a new earth, same place though he was transported to a different planet 2 Peter 3 5 They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water, 6 through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
@cruz carchevy Again, look at how Peter compares it to the flood-where the heavens and earth perished We didn’t move to a new planet, this planet was renewed Likewise we won’t be moved to a new planet after the coming fire, this planet will be renewed and restored

I like Billy Graham simple version; 'they're were 3 prayer request met that day ---Jesus casted out the demons...Jesus answered the demons request...and 3rd Jesus left that town per thier request'....also, the demons knew the torment of Hell was to great for them
WHY DID JESUS CAST THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS INTO UNCLEAN PIGS AND ALLOWED THEM RUN IN THE WATER? THERE ARE MANY LESSONS HERE. . The fact that men have been possessed with demons, is clearly stated in the New Testament. The persons thus afflicted were not merely suffering with disease from natural causes. Christ had perfect understanding of that with which he was dealing, and he recognized the direct presence and agency of evil spirits. {GC88 514.1} A striking example of their number, power, and malignity, and also of the power and mercy of Christ, is given in the Scripture account of the healing of the demoniacs at Gadara. Those wretched maniacs, spurning all restraint, writhing, foaming, raging, were filling the air with their cries, doing violence to themselves, and endangering all who should approach them. Their bleeding and disfigured bodies and distracted minds presented a spectacle well-pleasing to the prince of darkness. One of the demons controlling the sufferers declared, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” [Mark 5:9.] In the Roman army a legion consisted of from three to five thousand men. Satan's hosts also are marshaled in companies, and the single company to which these demons belonged numbered no less than a legion. {GC88 514.2} At the command of Jesus, the evil spirits departed from their victims, leaving them calmly sitting at the Saviour's 515 feet, subdued, intelligent, and gentle. But the demons were permitted to sweep a herd of swine into the sea; and to the dwellers of Gadara the loss of these outweighed the blessings which Christ had bestowed, and the divine Healer was entreated to depart. This was the result which Satan designed to secure. By casting the blame of their loss upon Jesus, he aroused the selfish fears of the people, and prevented them from listening to his words. Satan is constantly accusing Christians as the cause of loss, misfortune, and suffering, instead of allowing the reproach to fall where it belongs, upon himself and his agents. {GC88 514.3} But the purposes of Christ were not thwarted. He allowed the evil spirits to destroy the herd of swine as a rebuke to those Jews who were raising these unclean beasts for the sake of gain. Had not Christ restrained the demons, they would have plunged into the sea, not only the swine, but also their keepers and owners. The preservation of both the keepers and the owners was due alone to his power, mercifully exercised for their deliverance. Furthermore, this event was permitted to take place that the disciples might witness the cruel power of Satan upon both man and beast. The Saviour desired his followers to have a knowledge of the foe whom they were to meet, that they might not be deceived and overcome by his devices. It was also his will that the people of that region should behold his power to break the bondage of Satan and release his captives. And though Jesus himself departed, the men so marvelously delivered remained to declare the mercy of their Benefactor. {GC88 515.1}
I've wondered about this story also. I'm glad he asked you this. You explained this very well and this does make sense. Thank you for sharing. God bless
I like Billy Graham simple version; 'they're were 3 prayer request met that day ---Jesus casted out the demons...Jesus answered the demons request...and 3rd Jesus left that town per thier request'....also, the demons knew the torment of Hell was to great for them
Also, the delivered demon possessed men begged Jesus to allow them to follow HIM on his ministry. How many times did Jesus beg others to follow Him yet here they beg Him to be able to follow Him. If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed, no more chains to keep you bound.
Yes. That is my own experience. That said, the day I asked Jesus into my heart everything changed. But it is a process of awakening to my own value as He sees me. Truly unique and also comes a testing of my marriage, my kids my friends as I become aware of that ‘new’’ person I never knew I was. So I AM free…more free than in my 69 yrs of life here on this planet. But it has come at a cost that I never expected as my loved ones turned away from my new persona. That said, my spouse is turning to Him more and more. And my life experience as an adult educator is coming back to life as people around me are awakening to the evil threatening their children, their employment. The vax mandates…satan’s massive tool of deception now being deployed to great effect. We are in the End Times. I’ve been very blessed with a lifetime experiences that have led me to be here. In His service, by HIS GRACE!! 🙏✝️❤️
@@gailfagan7579 Amen. As Paul said: For me to live is Christ but to die is gain. Phillipeans 1 I have been studying the whole Evolutionary Theory which l just assumed must be true as they teach it in our universities and schools but came to the reasonable conclusion that it is ALL a lie, every single bit of it just a lie. There is NO scientific evidence whatsoever. Jesus told the Pharisees that their father is the devil, the father of lies. Think how many Professions have based their whole profession on the assumption of the Evolution Theory like the medical profession who tells us erroneously that your Appendix and Tonsils are vestigial organs that they lost it's function millions of years ago. There is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever to prove this, it's just lies. These organs are not vestigial or of no use, they are indeed of huge importance to your health and well being to fight illnesses and deseases, yet Doctors just take it out left right and centre. Ask anyone who has Arthritis whether he had his tonsils removed. Ask anyone who has cancer whether his appendix has been removed. Even in Psychology we are taught that many mental illnesses are as a result of millions of years of Evolution. I wonder whether many of our mental illnesses are not just as a result of demon oppression or possession and that good old prayer will cure or heal people of their mental illnesses instead of the drugs we prescribe. Funny how many Christians have fallen for the covid scam. Jesus said, I am the Light of the world, he who walks in my Light will never walk in darkness. He is the Good Shepherd and that His sheep hears his voice and that none shall EVER pluck us out of his hand. Hang in there Brother, it is worth it all a million times over.👊👌👍
Guys, HERE is Salvation HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH is Who Created “Man (Adam)” YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for the sins OF “Man” NO human female involved WHATSOEVER - Hebrew Book of Isaiah Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. Isaiah 43:11 I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me. Isaiah 45:5 I am YaH, and there is none else.
Luke 8:31: And they begged Him not to command them to depart into the abyss. Since now I know where demons DON’T want to go (the abyss) I have the power only in the name of Jesus Christ to command those demons to the abyss forever!!! 🙌🏻
Main thing the pigs weren't vaccine by dept of agriculture. Cause Bill Gates Microsoft runs our food and Monsanto, and the world health organization. Yikes, and the farm land in America
It was only recently-a few months ago, when I read the last chapter of Isaiah-that the seriousness of God's ban on the consumption of "unclean" animals (animals that were not created for, and are unfit for, human consumption) really hit me, like a ton of bricks, so-to-speak! The setting of that chapter of Isaiah is during Jesus' millennial rein, here on earth, after the Tribulation. Once I fully understood what Jesus is saying and doing in that chapter, well, I gave up eating bacon and ham... and shellfish... and catfish... and... well, you get the idea. My point is that having read Isaiah 66, I now understand why Jesus destroyed the pigs! That question has always been in the back of my mind. I get it now!
God knows our biblical questions and He provides us with an answer. I’ve had this happen a handful of times. Our Father makes ends for us, He is awesome :)
This explanation leaves me with even MORE questions.... would have been more helpful if John's explanation was backed up scripturally...was really looking forward to some clarification and enlightening in this...God bless you guys
ALSO IN BABYLON AT THE TIME OF DANIEL WHEN THE KING WENT CRAZY FOR A TIME AND THEN HIS SANITY CAME BACK SO HE COULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THE TRUE GOD. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR YOU SACRIFICE FOR OUR REDEMPTION AND SALVATION AND MIRACLES AND WORDS AND YOUR DIVINE MERCY SHALOM AMEN ❤️
Blessed be The Name of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Pastor John, Thank you for this interpretation it resonates with my spirit. Hallelujah hallelujah!!!!! To ALMIGHTY GOD, THE FATHER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST be all glory , honour and praise!
It makes no sense the way it was explained... the only reasoning the guy gave for the demons entering pigs was that there were no other animals around... well there was a bloody ocean right next to the pigs, you really think it was empty and void of animal life?
Also, the fact that the evil spirits are real, they travel from a living being to another. They are very real entities, with real intelligence and knowledge. Have that in mind.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
They are have you ever sit in your house and all of a sudden you see something go across the floor real fast or you see like maybe something past you by are you ever been asleep and feel like something sitting on your bed they are real and they knows the one who knows Jesus and they knows the one who knows authority and how to use that authority they know that's why Jesus said I give you power and authority over all powers of the enemy to trade up on the serpent and scoffings and by no mean nothing should hurt you

Now you can tell me. ¿What kind of living thing, or human being, can have the power to lay it down and take it again? Only His body died, for the lack of blood in it: "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death IN THE FLESH, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also HE WENT AND PREACHED unto the spirits in prison;" He went and preached, He was alive all the time, except His body.

Friend - Read what I just posted beginning with Chapter 104. Here, a first hand account is given from your Saviour. May YOU grow with greater excitement in TRUTH. Amen!!!
@Dion Pryor Friend - A True Christian will stand against evil and call out when evil is called good and good called evil. If the Govenment of the land is operating in an evil manner whereby the possession of the Spirit of Truth is no longer in their authority, then it is time to turn from such authority who are no longer inspired from above. You should also take into account the placement of a counterfeit Christian, one who is known as a plant. You my friend can be easily deceived. One is not to judge another but one can surely judge the sin. Please be more specific when the word judgmental is easily thrown out, person vs action.
They repented with water and needed a body . So they run in the sea with a body of animals . They were forgiven , just like his sinfull children were forgiven if they believe who God sends as his right hand. They ask why he came before the time . It was to forgive all who believed , dead ore alive till the generation of Jesus. This is for the first death of water and repentance, known as Noah's flood. Nothing to do with the second death Genesis 6:5-7, 12-13 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Two deaths , two baptisms. The baptism of John with water and repentance The baptism of Jesus Christ with the Holy Ghost and fire
Adam C. It is just not fascinating but it's a deliverance prayer ( Gospel ). Pray it in your house and feel the changes taking place in your house. Amen to that. ❤
I just saw this video & was blessed with the Biblical explanation. Thank you for that full explanation, it was wonderful. God Bless you & your channel I truly wish there were many more channels like yours. We know the Tribulation is near & these kind of uplifting messages are a blessing for many. Thanks again.
This is a spot on analysis. Having recently re-read the Gospels, I was overwhelmed how throughout most of Jesus's ministry, just about everything he did had the explicit purpose of declaring his divinity. I hadn't considered specifically this passage from Matthew, but after hearing Pastor John's explanation, it concurs completely with my renewed understanding of Jesus's ministry.
The deeper lesson here is what sin can do to the sinner. The demons sinned (probably soon after their creation) in a manner with a certain kind of terrible finality, separating themselves forever from God. As a result, not even the loving Jesus had the slightest pity for them. People should take this lesson to heart. Sin separates us from God. Who knows when that separation may become permanent? As Jesus said to a man whom He had healed, "...sin no more, lest something worse befall you." We must each of us stop knowingly committing sin, and instead work out our salvation in fear and trembling as St. Paul instructs us to do. When we each become perfect, perfect love will cast out fear. In the meantime, we should greatly fear to sin.
It's not true that Jesus had no pity or simpathy for Lucifer & his followers, as the heavens wept over the angels who fell & were cast into hell for sin & pride. It's because there is no place in any of the heavens for unrepentant sinners to be able to mingle with the saints. A sinner could not stand in the presence of a holy God & not feel Hot.🔥🧯
One could argue that Jesus was in fact being merciful. He granted them their wish. He did not "torment," either. However, I do agree with on your other points. "Sin no more," is rarely preached these days.
I like Billy Graham simple version; 'they're were 3 prayer request met that day ---Jesus casted out the demons...Jesus answered the demons request...and 3rd Jesus left that town per thier request'....also, the demons knew the torment of Hell was to great for them
Amen brother! I know this is true because it has also happened to me....different but the same. In 2014 God and Jesus began my transformation for no reason. I went from an unrepentant Luke warm Christian-sinner on many levels to a man after God's heart. It's been amazing! I also feel we MUST be close to the end because of this coupled with all the historically strange events taking place on this fallen world. Spread the gospel and be the example if He really abides in you people. PRAISE THE LORD and Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord,equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. - Hebrews 13:20-21
Dear Brother,the demons dont wanted to move into the Pigs,because they need a body to possess.. In a way, Jesus felt sorry for them... They pleaded not to have to drive into the abyss.... Not because they "need" Someone to possess.. Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” He said: “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him. 31 And they kept entreating him not to order them to go away into the abyss. 32 Now a herd of a considerable number of swine was feeding there on the mountain; so they entreated him to permit them to enter into those. And he gave them permission. Its interesting,we are all brothers,but we all cant see everything,if we read the same verse... But we Can Trust Fully the Word of God,forever... God bless you Brothers..
Wow this is my first time here and first time hearing the points he made. And I knew exactly what he said because I heard it before. What I didn't here was the whole story and the manner in which you stated. Thank you for reminding me of what is expected of me.
I like Billy Graham simple version; 'they're were 3 prayer request met that day ---Jesus casted out the demons...Jesus answered the demons request...and 3rd Jesus left that town per thier request'....also, the demons knew the torment of Hell was to great for them
I think that most of us don’t appreciate what’s going on here. Jesus has just freed these two men of their demon possession and torment, and the community rejects him wanting him to leave. But realize that they had just lost one of their sources of food and income. Anger and rejection would have been a natural response. Yes , they did ignore the two healed individuals which should have been the centre of their attention to focus towards Christ. Now the question is would we have a better reaction if God takes away our resources? Makes me wonder, even about myself.
It’s about faith. It was a work of God Himself. Of Jesus. It’s all a part of His plan. Trusting Him. You can do all things in Christ who strengthens you. He who loves, obeys, and trusts the Lord, the Lord finds favor in Him and he shall be blessed according to His will. Similar situation when Jesus and Apostles were on the boat, with dangerous waters. And what did He say to them?
It was HUGE act of grace towards that community. For experiencing the loss of livelihood. Jesus calls all humans and when He does, He calls for complete surrender and trust in Him as your sole access to needed (sometimes wanted) resource ("give us this day, our daily bread"), or in short, Provider. This crowd lost their livelihood before they could understand how, then asked Him to leave. However, I guarantee they would never forget. We wouldnt. They would have asked questions from the witnesses and investigated. They would ask who that man was (Jesus), and why did He do that. My understanding is that these formerly possessed men could have become the 1st gentile missionaries recorded. If that were so (please doublecheck to be certain) the parties impacted by heavy loss of pigs may have heard the Gospel at a later time and, hearing it, understand how the Son of God who calls for surrender would allow those pigs to die. Since they just lost their livelihoods, knowing God Himself intended it (if they believed) they would have understood. I hope they heard the Gospel, and hope they did believe.
But the verse says the herdsmen went and told the town about the delivered men, not the pigs. Pastor John points this out. So i dont think the herdsmen, having witnessed the power of Jesus, wanted him out, but rather the rest of the town who hadn’t bore witness and was perhaps only thinking about the pigs. So this would create the dichotomy between having Faith in Jesus after being in his presence vs not having it and prioritizing possession.
Jessica Borgogni I believe the verse says “ those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported All this, including what had happened to the demon possessed men.” Matthew 33. So I think the town people had the full story. But the point I was trying to make is how we would all react to God removing our “pigs” in our lives.
Guys the reason for the pigs was cus that town worshipped zues a false God and used the pigs to sacrifice . so Jesus got rid of 2 things with 1 stone.. The devil posessed man (holding the territory for the demons) and the sacrifice currency.. (pigs) its also why the towns ppl asked jesus to leave.. (jesus doesnt preach there.. but the demon possessed man goes back and tells all that the lord has done so he becomes the messenger)
Cole Davis: I was about to write the same, until I read your post. Your three sentences were succinct and to the point. You wrote exactly my thoughts. God Bless you and your family.
This is not a correct answer but a man speculating. The Scriptures teach us the correct answers it goes back to the war in heaven. And to the very reason we have all been sent to Earth in the first place. And that is to come to Earth to obtain a body to be tested. To have our memories of heaven erased and in this life be tested to see wether we will chose to serve God or to refuse God and serve Satan. In the war in heaven two plans were presented the first being the Son of God's plan. Which included free agency, and coming to Earth to be tested to see if we would choose to serve God and some of us because of free agency would be lost. And not be able to return to the presence of our Father in Heaven. Now our Heavenly Father loved us and would not let us come down here to wander aimlessly. So someone would need to be sent to set the perfect example and the Son of God volunteered that he would come down and be the perfect example and if necessary he would even die for us. And in doing all of this he would give all of the glory to the Father. Wow if that does not sound familiar. And just a small note you can't return to somewhere you have never been. Just something to help you to understand that everyone who has ever been born on earth has come from our Heavenly Father's presence. The second plan presented was Lucifer's plan and that was to take away your free agency and let you be born to earth life to obtain a body of flesh and bone and be forced to experience what was required in life to become like our Father in Heaven and no one would be lost! And Lucifer said and the glory will be mine. Taking all glory from the Father of Heaven unto himself. Now this is what the war in heaven was all about. And our Father in Heaven chose the first and Lucifer and all of those who followed him were escorted out of the presence of the Father and cast to Earth. Thus becoming the devil and his followers and the number of those cast out was a third of the host of Heaven And they would never be able to possess a body of flesh and bones allowing them the chance to grow in experience and to become more like our Father in Heaven. Therefore they did swear in their wrath that they would do everything in their power to make man as miserable as they are. And try to make as many of us fail as they can. Thus the wailing and nashing of teeth. Now those who possessed those men are fallen spirits and they will try and possess anyone who will give them power to do so. So be careful for what you wish for. For once you are possessed they will try to completely take over your body and the torment that one goes through is horrific and many of these spirits will try to possess as possible. For their memories have not been erased as yours has. And they know and understand the powers of a body can give them and they want a body badly. And when they seen Jesus they knew him. For as stated their memories have not been erased and they also knew the time appointed for judgement had not yet come. They were also revealing his true identity the Son of God. So that is why he rebuked them for the time of him to be revealed had not come either. And whenever any did know of his true identity he let them know that this was given them of the Father in Heaven Now back to why they asked to be cast into the pigs. For they knew that Jesus would cast them out from these men. For the Father had said they would never possess a body of flesh and bones a human body. But nothing was said of animals. That is how badly they wanted to experience a body. The pigs did not let them in but they strived to possess the pigs bodies anyway and the pigs would not have anything to do with them for it was not natural. And they destroyed themselves rather then let them possess them. I am sure that Jesus knew the pigs would make this choice. Remember Jesus plan is free agency. All things living were created spiritually before they were fiscally. And all were commanded to reproduce after their kind. Heavenly Father wants us to understand his plan for he loves us all. Men who think they are learned mess things up. Not all of them on purpose. But some of them purposely misguide it is horrible. And others just do not know that which they need to know to save you. So always as the scriptures tell you to do ponder it out in your own minds. And then pray to your Father who is in Heaven through the name of Jesus Christ who is our mediator to the Father. And if you ask with a sincere heart and real intent he will make the truth of all things made known unto you through the power of the Holy Ghost. Who can reveal the truth of all things unto you. Don't just depend upon the words of men. For they can deceive and mislead.
Even as vile as a pig may be, being an unclean animal listed in Lev.11, could not tolerate bring possesed by demons..now the demons are again in search of a body to reenter and possess..nearly as being released in the abyst..
Really, you have pondered this question, whilst totally ignoring all of the actual evidence we have that proves the reality of Evolution via Natural Selection?
Nothing to interpret really. Another example of the power God gave his son over everything on earth. No need to over explain and complicate anything. What the demons did in those pigs has no bearing on the Faith you put in God and Christ.
@@swissshepherd1186 ,......The Bible is the only truth the world has. Everything that is contrary or differs from this account is nothing but a lie and the fables of men. Basically, everything the world teaches and believes is contrary to this account. It is all just a different religion. There is the Bible and Gods account of what and how he created things, and the worlds version (the religion of scientism) that is the complete opposite. One religion (actual Christianity) trusts God, and rejects mans version, the other religion (scientism) trusts mankind, and rejects Gods version. It is all a battle of two religions. The people of God, and the Godless people of the world. Trust God, and never man.
wow...to know the reason behind all of the questions asked concerning the pigs are so overwhelming, God is so wonderful. Jesus demands a choice...either love him and his salvation or loves your prosperity and your wealth...the message is very clear...we are given a choice, therefore choose wisely. Praise God, Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!

Can you please pray for me? 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I didn’t ask to be born into this world . And yet here I am, suffering for as long as I can remember, misunderstood, mistreated or hated by almost everyone I’ve been given to be around.
My childhood was miserable, without love, understanding or compassion. I was blamed for almost everything I did or said.
I always thought that as an adult things would be different. But yet again I was wrong. I’m a stranger to everyone I know , even those who are the closest to me. I’m the misfit, the rejected, the evil one, yet I’ve never done anything wrong to anybody.
I believe in GOD. I love JESUS. But the more I pray, the worst things get. I don’t know what to do.
And now I want to get over with everything. I don’t belong to this world, this life or this place. I can’t do this anymore. I’m Lost...

What people fail to realize about this is this: pigs, the filthiest animals, would rather drown than be possessed by an unclean spirit, and yet we who are made in God's image, fearlessly welcome entry to places and things unclean spirits dwell. Its rather sad and pathetic on our behalf that a pig has more spiritual sense than us.
Jesus allowed the demons to go into the pigs and they entered them and then they ran into the water and drowned. The pigs weren’t running away from the demons like they had a choice in the matter!
@@michaelwoolley576 why would demons, who need a body to thrive decide to drown the very bodies theu chose to possess? That makes no sense. Christ knew the pigs wouldn't accept them.
@Dakoda Fisher thats the point im making.
Wow, fantastic insight. Thanks for that ^_^
No...I think it's more of a failure of realization of your part. You're going under the assumption that the PIGS decided to do anything at all. Which is likely false. Look at how easily manipulated farm animals are when ordered by mere humans. Imagine something more powerful giving orders. Shocker. They'd do it. And that's assuming they have any control at all. The demons puppeteered the pigs bodies and drowned themselves within the pigs. They chose that.
well... even the pigs would rather be dead than be possessed by demons.

Moreover, did you know that Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia as per Galatians 4:25“..mount Sinai in Arabia..." on the mount Jebal Al Lawz and is literally burnt at the top when GOD had descended on it Exodus 19:18 “And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire...". There are videos and images taken of the rest of the evidence too if you would like to look into this (Please avoid videos with drum music).

Please check out Dr Carl Baugh's Creation in Symphony (Ex-Evolutionist) czcams.com/video/CHeyH9iUI2Q/video.html (Please ignore/skip drums in music and the Trinity doctrine shared as it is unbiblical - 1 Being playing 3 parts is not Biblical; however, the GODHEAD is Biblical of 3 Separate BEINGS playing their OWN parts. Remember CHRIST's baptism? THE FATHER was in heaven, the HOLY SPIRIT in the air in the form of a DOVE; and the LORD JESUS was on earth as per Matthew 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water..the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:" 17 "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.")

Hi there,
The doctrine of 1 Being playing 3 parts (the Trinity doctrine) is unbiblical. 1 John 5:7 "there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This verse is one that I have come across that is used to back up the Trinity Doctrine just because it states 'they are one'. Oneness here means in agreement and not that it is 1 Being playing 3 parts, but rather 3 Beings playing their parts (3 GODS). Notice in the same verse it states these (3). Notice a conversation between the GODHEAD as per Genesis 1:26
King James Version
26 "..Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." US is plural and not singular, and this was a conversation between them.
Notice the same oness used to describe a married man and woman (who clearly are not 1 being, but 2 in agreement)
Mark 10:7-8
“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8) And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh."
Notice also the oneness or agreement as per John 17:21 "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us..."
Moreover, the GODHEAD is in the Bible as per
Acts 17:29 "..we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."
Romans 1:20 "..and Godhead..."
Colossians 2:9 "..all the fulness of the Godhead bodily"
GOD Bless :)
Think about it, why would the Being pray to Himself
The love of God for humans is beyond any thing we can ever imagine....may His name ever be praised in Jesus name.
The bottom line, the absolute foundation of all God's interactions with
humanity is this : WORSHIP ME OR I'LL BURN YOU ALIVE.
Likewise in the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar the Second decreed that when the music was played everyone must bow to the statue of him or be burned alive in a furnace. The Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abedneggo refused according to the story but ironically the Babylonian king was demanding worship ( just like God ) and threatening to torture with fire ( just like God ) anyone who would not submit.
Gee...how could you not love him ? 🤣
Stands to reason. If we are not worshiping the one true God Heavenly Father. Who are we worshiping?
@@hellkat2285worship can also mean respect, give attention too, love, cherish and etc. God created you and this is how you behave. That’s like being born from your Father and your Dad tells you to respect him or you’ll be kicked out the house for your disrespect.
God created you for a purpose because you’re not an accident and he created you to have a relationship with you. Think about it this way, you create a car and you want the car to drive and the car gets created and it’s like nah I’m not driving or listening to you. What?? Then what’s the point of the car? That’s it’s purpose. God has a purpose for you bro but not many find it or fulfill it. Don’t let that be you.
God loves you dearly my friend. I hope you repent and allow Jesus into your heart and you can and will experience the depths of his everlasting love.

Dear Sister,the demons dont wanted to move into the Pigs,because they need a body to possess..
In a way, Jesus felt sorry for them...
They pleaded not to have to drive into the abyss....
Not because they "need" Someone to possess..
Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” He said: “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him. 31 And they kept entreating him not to order them to go away into the abyss. 32 Now a herd of a considerable number of swine was feeding there on the mountain; so they entreated him to permit them to enter into those. And he gave them permission.
Its interesting,we are all brothers,but we all cant see everything,if we read the same verse...
But we Can Trust Fully the Word of God,forever...
God bless you Brothers..
Incredible story, the fact that demons desire any form of physicality over anything else is so telling. It is my belief that we are surrounded by the possessed and may never even know it.
We are constantly fighting against the "powers" of deception and the "principalities" of the air (Ephesians 6,12)... the powers try to seduce us by whispering complements and praises in our ears, filling our minds with prideful thoughts, while the lower-ranked principalities who merely cause havoc hurl hateful insults at us as they fly past overhead. Everyone hears these, and assumes they are just their own thoughts in their own head, their inner monologue, but St John of the Ladder and many other Desert Ascetics have shown the opposite is the truth.
@johnny jones amen!! Trump tomorw. 2020.
I look a demon in the eyes at least once a day. They are definitely out here.
That's why we should keep praying and live holy to be against their invasion or erosion into us.
@Mark Bush the urban dictionary is fiction, but based on its definition of your name I’m starting to believe that too.
A Mark
A person who believes everything he or she hears or is so out of place that they are easily targeted by people that mean harm or fair game for bullies.
That person is so easily fooled everyone can tell that they are a mark.
Ah, but still I find the most wonderful part at the end of the story. The man who was freed, worshiped Jesus!!! And asked Jesus if he could come with him! Surprising and interesting, Jesus said it isn’t necessary to come with me…stay with your family and tell them the amazing things God has done for you! This is what we should do as well!
Amen
U speak truth, but I'd like to point out some truth. Pigs commited suicide over having demons in them. Owners saw and said to Jesus leave: rather than repent. And lastly, what about the life and where did this guy go spread the gospel. Colleges limit historical Christianity to just Constantine Catholic to Protestant tree. What about the ppl who went out that weren't just of the 12.
@@newhorizon1355 There were many apostles, and to this day there are still churches that have descended directly from the original but you won't easily find them.
@@regsun7947 No church can tell you outside the new testament where & how 11 of the 12 were martyred? except for the Catholics, From what I studied and found out the Catholics and the Orthodox church were one at a time, then after the Catholics became a nation religion (Rome) the orthodox split with them, the Orthodox church would be the closest thing to what the Apostles left behind.
A heard homily alluded the man's situation to family disputes ... and JESUS saw reconciliation and a loving family life the better way/ option.
Re.. the pigs, was it just because they were nearby or as a habitation, or is there more to it, namely....
Not to cast your pearls after swine.
Forbidden food (now known as diseased).
Wallows in mud, esp soon after being cleansed.
Point being, the demons are comfortable in/ with pigs, just as any sustainably Unrepentant sinner.

I’ve been born again as of Nov. 2018. I always believed in God and became a lukewarm Christian over time. I did shrooms, drank, but mostly smoked pot everyday. I look back and can’t believe how patient Jesus has been waiting for me (I’m 40). I have been saved by an angel or Jesus (not sure at the time) at least twice, but possibly 3 times.
A voice told me to let off the gas pedal when I was going through an intersection, as soon as I did, a truck blew a stop sign that would have killed me. I also fell asleep at the wheel another time and WOKE up while driving sitting upright and very much positioned like a robot. I ended up on the other side of town somehow! Fell into a pool’s deep end as a child, somehow my mother knew to check on me and pulled me out.
I had another experience where I was praying about a relative that was brutally murdered and burned alive years prior. I was HIT like a sledgehammer with unexplainable peace and joy. Instantly tears poured out of my eyes and I had the breath sucked out of me, totally winded. It was like I was experiencing the joy of heaven but my human body could not handle it! I also experienced an interaction with several demons in the basement of a psychic lady’s house who summoned them and spoke to them nightly. The fear and anger I felt as their eyes pierced my soul was like nothing of this earth......,over and over and over Jesus was calling me!!! I was too much of a fool to notice, even though I believed in Him!
In November of 2018, after a minor argument with my fiancée, I heard a demon’s voice talk to me telepathically in my mind- “I hate you, I’ll kill you and tear your family apart.” With the most conviction in my soul I commanded that thing to leave my house in the name of Jesus Christ. Every room in the house I yelled at it. I felt our Lord blast through my house and beat those things down! Whoosh gone! I prayed and thanked him and repented for allowing them to get close to me. He talked to me telepathically asking me questions and made me feel the guilt of my sins. Lots of information as a sort of psychic download into my heart and mind simultaneously. Question 1: “After all I’ve done for you, what have you done for Me, and others?” Question 2: “Am I NOT enough for you?” Then, the weight of my sins lifted, it was incredible.
Since that moment, I’ve had no desire to drink, smoke, blaspheme, masterbate, be angry, stressed out or sin at all. Wanting to share love with no other possible explanation. I notice the tiniest signs he puts in my path....I see them right away and chuckle, seeing He really does work in mysterious ways. I fully understand how to have a relationship with him and not need to physically see or hear our relationship. He is incredible people! Let him into your heart! I had felt in my soul the the extremes of joy and sorrow through just some of my life experiences..... Feeling the presence of God and Satan deep inside through strange encounters. For that, I am blessed to KNOW Christianity is the truth, yet I STILL tried to not fully commit.
He wants us all to repent and accept Him. He actually told me this! Don’t think you can sin all your life and God will be OK with it. He really will reward you if you follow with all your heart!!

ARE YOU MOCKING JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR?
@@RosieEnigma777 Do you think Our Lord lacks a sense of humor? Or maybe you lack it. I was making a joke about how a command might call into question a more polite way of saying it, which would be silly in this case. See, if I may speak about the Theory of Comedy, it's the incongruity of the all-powerful Jesus being polite with demons that makes it funny. Of course, once I have to explain it, it's no longer funny.
Do you think God or Jesus is/was so fragile he cannot take a joke? Why are people so frightened of a joke about a supposedly Divine character?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💔😭🤗 SUCH A GOOD FATHER, such a beautiful GOD we serve, and we get to call him ABBA😭🙌
right god atches every tiime a child is abused !! good father? nope , you will say blah blah blah free will!! lol free will of the child or the abuser? the very concept is stupid if god sees all then he is evil or un caring the only other option is there is no sky daddys at all
🔥🔥🔥 because God is a consuming fire
God is great, God is merciful, God is compassionate, God is loving, God is all knowing, and (not to mention) countless other qualities. If you were God; all knowing, would you subject your children to an excessive torment or abuse or would you take them before it gets worse? What if death(I have experienced death more than I care to relay and I can tell you for certain that it is not unpleasant, maybe for a moment, but it is then overwhelmed by the complete and unconditional love of the one infinite creator) was the most Pleasant thing you could imagine? All this I say is just to bring a different perspective on what God really is, everything that I can explain will never do justice to the real and true nature of God which is unconditional love in its greatest form and more. I don't need to give Credence or even explanation to what you have displayed as your belief system but I would like to relate to those who are willing and wish to know the truth that is this which is presented to you in the form of mere human words; God is everywhere; in everything, in every existential and minut form which speaks to you and only you in every way. That voice in your head that tells you to go for something or not, that is God, that is the existential existence of the one infinite creator that is prominent throughout your life, always.
sherwood smallidge/ you obviously have never read the bible for any length of time, if you had you’d know that He doesn’t save us FROM the world of which He said we WOULD have troubles, He said He would save us IN IT. It’s the hardships that create a useful vessel to do His work, giving comfort to those in trouble with the comfort He gave to us in our troubles. Try maturing enough to NOT think it’s all about your own selfish, self-centred happiness but the higher purpose of showing His compassion and care in the midst of the chaos. Stop thinking like a child and be an adult.

This is beautiful!
Gracious and merciful Jesus leaves but forbids the man to go with him but to stay and TELL everyone what God has done for him. Even after they had failed to choose him over wealth, he gave them a chance to see his good works in the life of the saved man. This indeed is beautiful.
On top of everything mentioned in this video: The demons chose the pigs because they were intent on tormenting the people in that area. The demons caused the herd of pigs to be destroyed as a last ditch effort to bring harm to the people in that area. It was allowed because pigs are unclean animals, and from the perspective of Torah, which Jesus completely observed, they weren’t good for the people because it made them unclean, which separated them from God. The people begged Him to depart from them because they attributed what they perceived as their loss to the wrong source. They neglected to see the multiple blessings bestowed, and ultimately rejected the salvation that stood before them. This is a great lesson on how demons work. Even when they’re cast out, they will seek to destroy and deceive as they depart, often taking things that seem to be valuable with them as they go. The trial we face is whether or not we allow that which is lost to separate us from the source of our salvation, or do we chose to cling to Him despite our perceived loss.
That’s a good alternative theory, but it does contradict with this pastor’s theory
I needed this point of view. Thank you.
@@disguisedcentennial835 Yea, well that could be because this pastor's theory is wrong, convoluted and full of irrelevant stuff not related to why the demons chose the pigs.
Seriously, just listened to 6 mins of this pastor rail on about everything but the question someone asked him... it was ridiculous.
@@Sugefut you need to learn patience, child.
You stated that-- as if "demons" actually existed... When they haven't ever existed.
Its about the demons longing for a body. They are jealous of our bodies because they will never possess flesh of their own.
Mostly true statement . They had bodies at one time. Pre flood they were the offspring of angels and the daughters of men. Gen 3. They haven’t been judged yet so they are basically in limbo.
do you have link of any docu about this
Yes, but think about this: If a demon can't have a man, his next choice would be a pig. That's not very flattering, is it?
They’re actually extremely ugly, deformed, stinky, very very disgusting !and their place is the lake of fire 🔥 for eternity!!!
Dont quote me on this, but I heard somewhere that demons without a physical body are constantly in pain and torture. That they possess their subjects in order to feel some sort of relief.
Fantastic teaching.
I always had that
same question in my mind.
Thank you!
Awesome sermon powerful i have learn alot from the word of God Blessing.
When I was a youngling in college and high school, I was sucked into the cult of Atheism, which is essentially an anti-God cult. They pretend as though they don't believe in any gods, but spend 90% of their time bashing our Christian God, Jesus, etc.
In those times, I felt no joy or inspiration. I was lost to Earthly desires and cravings of the flesh. My spirit, was dying and on life support.
Then, a good Christian friend of mine made an effort. He convinced me to go to church with him. A couple of times. And although I didn't re-awaken yet, I felt the Holy Spirit in that church. And it started my skepticism of atheism. The profound feeling that overwhelms your body, and makes you literally feel the inspiration and love of Christ.
For a long time afterwards, I was confused, and coping with that realization. I created a fantasy that God exists, but that He is probably nothing like we expect based on Christianity or any other interpretation. I thought that God was more of an observer with a passive role.
About a year ago, I was finally awakened. I started really looking into God. Watching videos from pastors, and reading Bible passages, and I realized the profound truth of the Bible. It's wisdom and ability to convey the state of mind of societies, as well as the message of what it takes to be truly happy are the only path that has worked to ease the hardships of my life, and bring back my spirit.
Anyone professing to be happy without God, to me, is a liar.
I've lived that life, and I've seen people living those lives, and no matter how much they lie and profess that they are happy, content, and satisfied, I know they lie. There is a fear in them, a fear of death. A fear of losing the material. A fear of losing the earthly and the flesh.
Tell me then, how can one be happy or have purpose when one fears the loss of earthly things? When one values their flesh and desires over their values and salvation?
@Fist Bump thanks for proving my point. Why even click on the video, other than to troll the viewers?
God bless your heart my friend
@@FrostyPixelsOG i have a question, if atheist doesn't believe in God, why are they still have interest on asking about God? And they still go and listen to these Christian channels and research more about Christianity?

This was a town on the sea of Galilee. Jesus never spoke to anyone other than Jews and he never left the area around the Sea of Galilee. It wasn’t until after his death that Saul, a gentile, was given the Holy Spirit by the angel who stoped him on the road. He was told then to take the gospel to the gentiles. So these herders and the towns people were Jews. It was not against the law of the Jews to raise pigs and sell them to the gentiles. This was by all the evidence the towns industry. They were pig farmers and legion was a demon that was working with them in their business. The man or men they were possessing we’re terrifying anyone who ventured near the towns herd of pigs and so we can deduce that the town liked the situation as it stood.
Now when Jesus saw what was happening he was most likely aware of the whole situation. When Legion came out of the man/men (the scary protector of the herd and toy of the demon) and went into the pigs and stampeded them into the sea off the cliff.... it was the demons revenge on Jesus...knowing the towns people would hate Jesus for causing the demon to come out of the man and destroying their industry along with all their product. The pigs all drowned in the sea of Galilee but legion would not die until it was his time at the end of the last days. Legion would simply go away looking for another Host. The possessed man/men would most likely be the only one(s) to appreciate what Jesus did for them. Thus the angry attitude of the town that forced Jesus to leave or else.
"demon possesed".. but be carefull, can also be used as an excuse by devils themselves.
This explanation is so accurate. Thank God for wisdom and understanding.
Read Mathew 12:43-45 to understand more about unclean spirits.
Thanks for this explanation.
One day I ask Jesus that I wanted to take his picture, then in Jan 2019 I saw his face in the clouds, I took 2 pictures , with my cellphone, in the picture I could see his right arm above his head, and on his hand the nail print. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer.

As a newly, very young married man, I learned the Power of God's Word and this very passage when our family was demonically attacked one night. Earlier that day, without my knowledge, my wife was prepared to give her life to Christ but didn't. Later that night after we had gone to bed there was an evil, cold presence that entered our room that was not of this world. I began to read this very passage and the presence left. As soon as I closed the Bible and set it on the nightstand, the presence was back with even more displays. This time, we went to Romans 10 and after my wife professed her Faith in Christ, it left for good. The Word became Flesh, The Word is Alive, The Word is Powerful and we have a Saviour Who has Overcome everything that was against us! Amen

5 They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,
6 through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.
7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
@cruz carchevy
Again, look at how Peter compares it to the flood-where the heavens and earth perished
We didn’t move to a new planet, this planet was renewed
Likewise we won’t be moved to a new planet after the coming fire, this planet will be renewed and restored

Remember God "gives rain"-considered a blessing to the good and the evil. God can BLESS whomever he wants whenever he wants. And actually, if we think about it, he steps on on behalf of humans against demons all the time,even at times unbeknownst to us. SATAN has NO humanity and would probably kill US all if he could, he hates even his most ardent SATANIC/LUCIFERIAN WORSHIPPER, God keeps Satan in check even for "devil worshippers" and even those foolish enough to say there is no God.

WHY DID JESUS CAST THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS INTO UNCLEAN PIGS AND ALLOWED THEM RUN IN THE WATER?
THERE ARE MANY LESSONS HERE. . The fact that men have been possessed with demons, is clearly stated in the New Testament. The persons thus afflicted were not merely suffering with disease from natural causes. Christ had perfect understanding of that with which he was dealing, and he recognized the direct presence and agency of evil spirits. {GC88 514.1}
A striking example of their number, power, and malignity, and also of the power and mercy of Christ, is given in the Scripture account of the healing of the demoniacs at Gadara. Those wretched maniacs, spurning all restraint, writhing, foaming, raging, were filling the air with their cries, doing violence to themselves, and endangering all who should approach them. Their bleeding and disfigured bodies and distracted minds presented a spectacle well-pleasing to the prince of darkness. One of the demons controlling the sufferers declared, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” [Mark 5:9.] In the Roman army a legion consisted of from three to five thousand men. Satan's hosts also are marshaled in companies, and the single company to which these demons belonged numbered no less than a legion. {GC88 514.2}
At the command of Jesus, the evil spirits departed from their victims, leaving them calmly sitting at the Saviour's
515
feet, subdued, intelligent, and gentle. But the demons were permitted to sweep a herd of swine into the sea; and to the dwellers of Gadara the loss of these outweighed the blessings which Christ had bestowed, and the divine Healer was entreated to depart. This was the result which Satan designed to secure. By casting the blame of their loss upon Jesus, he aroused the selfish fears of the people, and prevented them from listening to his words. Satan is constantly accusing Christians as the cause of loss, misfortune, and suffering, instead of allowing the reproach to fall where it belongs, upon himself and his agents. {GC88 514.3}
But the purposes of Christ were not thwarted. He allowed the evil spirits to destroy the herd of swine as a rebuke to those Jews who were raising these unclean beasts for the sake of gain. Had not Christ restrained the demons, they would have plunged into the sea, not only the swine, but also their keepers and owners. The preservation of both the keepers and the owners was due alone to his power, mercifully exercised for their deliverance. Furthermore, this event was permitted to take place that the disciples might witness the cruel power of Satan upon both man and beast. The Saviour desired his followers to have a knowledge of the foe whom they were to meet, that they might not be deceived and overcome by his devices. It was also his will that the people of that region should behold his power to break the bondage of Satan and release his captives. And though Jesus himself departed, the men so marvelously delivered remained to declare the mercy of their Benefactor. {GC88 515.1}
I've wondered about this story also. I'm glad he asked you this. You explained this very well and this does make sense. Thank you for sharing. God bless
I like Billy Graham simple version; 'they're were 3 prayer request met that day ---Jesus casted out the demons...Jesus answered the demons request...and 3rd Jesus left that town per thier request'....also, the demons knew the torment of Hell was to great for them
Also, the delivered demon possessed men begged Jesus to allow them to follow HIM on his ministry. How many times did Jesus beg others to follow Him yet here they beg Him to be able to follow Him.
If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed, no more chains to keep you bound.
Man...give me that thang!! Preach it!!
Yes. That is my own experience. That said, the day I asked Jesus into my heart everything changed. But it is a process of awakening to my own value as He sees me. Truly unique and also comes a testing of my marriage, my kids my friends as I become aware of that ‘new’’ person I never knew I was. So I AM free…more free than in my 69 yrs of life here on this planet. But it has come at a cost that I never expected as my loved ones turned away from my new persona. That said, my spouse is turning to Him more and more. And my life experience as an adult educator is coming back to life as people around me are awakening to the evil threatening their children, their employment. The vax mandates…satan’s massive tool of deception now being deployed to great effect. We are in the End Times. I’ve been very blessed with a lifetime experiences that have led me to be here. In His service, by HIS GRACE!! 🙏✝️❤️

I have been studying the whole Evolutionary Theory which l just assumed must be true as they teach it in our universities and schools but came to the reasonable conclusion that it is ALL a lie, every single bit of it just a lie. There is NO scientific evidence whatsoever.
Jesus told the Pharisees that their father is the devil, the father of lies.
Think how many Professions have based their whole profession on the assumption of the Evolution Theory like the medical profession who tells us erroneously that your Appendix and Tonsils are vestigial organs that they lost it's function millions of years ago. There is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever to prove this, it's just lies.
These organs are not vestigial or of no use, they are indeed of huge importance to your health and well being to fight illnesses and deseases, yet Doctors just take it out left right and centre.
Ask anyone who has Arthritis whether he had his tonsils removed. Ask anyone who has cancer whether his appendix has been removed.
Even in Psychology we are taught that many mental illnesses are as a result of millions of years of Evolution.
I wonder whether many of our mental illnesses are not just as a result of demon oppression or possession and that good old prayer will cure or heal people of their mental illnesses instead of the drugs we prescribe.
Funny how many Christians have fallen for the covid scam. Jesus said, I am the Light of the world, he who walks in my Light will never walk in darkness.
He is the Good Shepherd and that His sheep hears his voice and that none shall EVER pluck us out of his hand.

Wow. I'm blown by this revelation of making a choice to follow Jesus or keep my pigs . Surely following Jesus and your blessed channel . Thank you.
Main thing the pigs weren't vaccine by dept of agriculture. Cause Bill Gates Microsoft runs our food and Monsanto, and the world health organization. Yikes, and the farm land in America
It was only recently-a few months ago, when I read the last chapter of Isaiah-that the seriousness of God's ban on the consumption of "unclean" animals (animals that were not created for, and are unfit for, human consumption) really hit me, like a ton of bricks, so-to-speak! The setting of that chapter of Isaiah is during Jesus' millennial rein, here on earth, after the Tribulation.
Once I fully understood what Jesus is saying and doing in that chapter, well, I gave up eating bacon and ham... and shellfish... and catfish... and... well, you get the idea.
My point is that having read Isaiah 66, I now understand why Jesus destroyed the pigs! That question has always been in the back of my mind. I get it now!
Thank you God my Father Jesus Christ my Savior and Holy Spirit my comforter

It makes no sense the way it was explained... the only reasoning the guy gave for the demons entering pigs was that there were no other animals around... well there was a bloody ocean right next to the pigs, you really think it was empty and void of animal life?
Excellent. Finally understand this passage. Thank you

Only His body died, for the lack of blood in it:
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death IN THE FLESH, but quickened by the Spirit:
By which also HE WENT AND PREACHED unto the spirits in prison;"
He went and preached, He was alive all the time, except His body.

Friend - Read what I just posted beginning with Chapter 104. Here, a first hand account is given from your Saviour. May YOU grow with greater excitement in TRUTH. Amen!!!
@Dion Pryor Friend - A True Christian will stand against evil and call out when evil is called good and good called evil. If the Govenment of the land is operating in an evil manner whereby the possession of the Spirit of Truth is no longer in their authority, then it is time to turn from such authority who are no longer inspired from above. You should also take into account the placement of a counterfeit Christian, one who is known as a plant. You my friend can be easily deceived. One is not to judge another but one can surely judge the sin. Please be more specific when the word judgmental is easily thrown out, person vs action.
They repented with water and needed a body . So they run in the sea with a body of animals .
They were forgiven , just like his sinfull children were forgiven if they believe who God sends as his right hand.
They ask why he came before the time . It was to forgive all who believed , dead ore alive till the generation of Jesus. This is for the first death of water and repentance, known as Noah's flood.
Nothing to do with the second death
Genesis 6:5-7, 12-13 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Revelation 2:11
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Best answer I’ve ever heard to the question..We were just discussing this subject recently...😇🙏🔑
This is a spot on analysis. Having recently re-read the Gospels, I was overwhelmed how throughout most of Jesus's ministry, just about everything he did had the explicit purpose of declaring his divinity. I hadn't considered specifically this passage from Matthew, but after hearing Pastor John's explanation, it concurs completely with my renewed understanding of Jesus's ministry.
Thank you for sharing it's one of the story that I did not understand,
It shakes up ones heart The Word of God
The deeper lesson here is what sin can do to the sinner. The demons sinned (probably soon after their creation) in a manner with a certain kind of terrible finality, separating themselves forever from God. As a result, not even the loving Jesus had the slightest pity for them.
People should take this lesson to heart. Sin separates us from God. Who knows when that separation may become permanent? As Jesus said to a man whom He had healed, "...sin no more, lest something worse befall you."
We must each of us stop knowingly committing sin, and instead work out our salvation in fear and trembling as St. Paul instructs us to do.
When we each become perfect, perfect love will cast out fear. In the meantime, we should greatly fear to sin.

I enjoyed it. Thanks!
It's not true that Jesus had no pity or simpathy for Lucifer & his followers, as the heavens wept over the angels who fell & were cast into hell for sin & pride.
It's because there is no place in any of the heavens for unrepentant sinners to be able to mingle with the saints.
A sinner could not stand in the presence of a holy God & not feel Hot.🔥🧯
@@yibada1176 Where are you getting this garbage from?
One could argue that Jesus was in fact being merciful. He granted them their wish. He did not "torment," either. However, I do agree with on your other points. "Sin no more," is rarely preached these days.
I never understood that passage until now. Thank you 🙏

me too for more than a year now
Amen brother! I know this is true because it has also happened to me....different but the same. In 2014 God and Jesus began my transformation for no reason. I went from an unrepentant Luke warm Christian-sinner on many levels to a man after God's heart.
It's been amazing! I also feel we MUST be close to the end because of this coupled with all the historically strange events taking place on this fallen world.
Spread the gospel and be the example if He really abides in you people.
PRAISE THE LORD and Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord,equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. - Hebrews 13:20-21
Tommy, very well said!!!👍🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Dear Brother,the demons dont wanted to move into the Pigs,because they need a body to possess..
In a way, Jesus felt sorry for them...
They pleaded not to have to drive into the abyss....
Not because they "need" Someone to possess..
Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” He said: “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him. 31 And they kept entreating him not to order them to go away into the abyss. 32 Now a herd of a considerable number of swine was feeding there on the mountain; so they entreated him to permit them to enter into those. And he gave them permission.
Its interesting,we are all brothers,but we all cant see everything,if we read the same verse...
But we Can Trust Fully the Word of God,forever...
God bless you Brothers..

I think that most of us don’t appreciate what’s going on here. Jesus has just freed these two men of their demon possession and torment, and the community rejects him wanting him to leave. But realize that they had just lost one of their sources of food and income. Anger and rejection would have been a natural response. Yes , they did ignore the two healed individuals which should have been the centre of their attention to focus towards Christ. Now the question is would we have a better reaction if God takes away our resources? Makes me wonder, even about myself.
It’s about faith. It was a work of God Himself. Of Jesus. It’s all a part of His plan. Trusting Him. You can do all things in Christ who strengthens you. He who loves, obeys, and trusts the Lord, the Lord finds favor in Him and he shall be blessed according to His will. Similar situation when Jesus and Apostles were on the boat, with dangerous waters. And what did He say to them?
It was HUGE act of grace towards that community. For experiencing the loss of livelihood. Jesus calls all humans and when He does, He calls for complete surrender and trust in Him as your sole access to needed (sometimes wanted) resource ("give us this day, our daily bread"), or in short, Provider.
This crowd lost their livelihood before they could understand how, then asked Him to leave. However, I guarantee they would never forget. We wouldnt. They would have asked questions from the witnesses and investigated. They would ask who that man was (Jesus), and why did He do that.
My understanding is that these formerly possessed men could have become the 1st gentile missionaries recorded. If that were so (please doublecheck to be certain) the parties impacted by heavy loss of pigs may have heard the Gospel at a later time and, hearing it, understand how the Son of God who calls for surrender would allow those pigs to die. Since they just lost their livelihoods, knowing God Himself intended it (if they believed) they would have understood. I hope they heard the Gospel, and hope they did believe.
@@internetneverlies I like your rational here and I also hope they came to the knowledge of the truth and believed!
But the verse says the herdsmen went and told the town about the delivered men, not the pigs. Pastor John points this out. So i dont think the herdsmen, having witnessed the power of Jesus, wanted him out, but rather the rest of the town who hadn’t bore witness and was perhaps only thinking about the pigs. So this would create the dichotomy between having Faith in Jesus after being in his presence vs not having it and prioritizing possession.
Jessica Borgogni I believe the verse says “ those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported All this, including what had happened to the demon possessed men.” Matthew 33. So I think the town people had the full story. But the point I was trying to make is how we would all react to God removing our “pigs” in our lives.
So enlightening! Thank you so much.
Best explanation I’ve ever heard! I have often pondered this question as well. Thank you to Calvin for asking it.
Guys the reason for the pigs was cus that town worshipped zues a false God and used the pigs to sacrifice . so Jesus got rid of 2 things with 1 stone.. The devil posessed man (holding the territory for the demons) and the sacrifice currency.. (pigs) its also why the towns ppl asked jesus to leave.. (jesus doesnt preach there.. but the demon possessed man goes back and tells all that the lord has done so he becomes the messenger)
Cole Davis: I was about to write the same, until I read your post. Your three sentences were succinct and to the point. You wrote exactly my thoughts. God Bless you and your family.
This is not a correct answer but a man speculating. The Scriptures teach us the correct answers it goes back to the war in heaven. And to the very reason we have all been sent to Earth in the first place. And that is to come to Earth to obtain a body to be tested. To have our memories of heaven erased and in this life be tested to see wether we will chose to serve God or to refuse God and serve Satan.
In the war in heaven two plans were presented the first being the Son of God's plan. Which included free agency, and coming to Earth to be tested to see if we would choose to serve God and some of us because of free agency would be lost. And not be able to return to the presence of our Father in Heaven. Now our Heavenly Father loved us and would not let us come down here to wander aimlessly. So someone would need to be sent to set the perfect example and the Son of God volunteered that he would come down and be the perfect example and if necessary he would even die for us. And in doing all of this he would give all of the glory to the Father.
Wow if that does not sound familiar.
And just a small note you can't return to somewhere you have never been. Just something to help you to understand that everyone who has ever been born on earth has come from our Heavenly Father's presence.
The second plan presented was Lucifer's plan and that was to take away your free agency and let you be born to earth life to obtain a body of flesh and bone and be forced to experience what was required in life to become like our Father in Heaven and no one would be lost! And Lucifer said and the glory will be mine. Taking all glory from the Father of Heaven unto himself.
Now this is what the war in heaven was all about.
And our Father in Heaven chose the first and Lucifer and all of those who followed him were escorted out of the presence of the Father and cast to Earth.
Thus becoming the devil and his followers and the number of those cast out was a third of the host of Heaven
And they would never be able to possess a body of flesh and bones allowing them the chance to grow in experience and to become more like our Father in Heaven.
Therefore they did swear in their wrath that they would do everything in their power to make man as miserable as they are. And try to make as many of us fail as they can.
Thus the wailing and nashing of teeth.
Now those who possessed those men are fallen spirits and they will try and possess anyone who will give them power to do so.
So be careful for what you wish for. For once you are possessed they will try to completely take over your body and the torment that one goes through is horrific and many of these spirits will try to possess as possible. For their memories have not been erased as yours has. And they know and understand the powers of a body can give them and they want a body badly.
And when they seen Jesus they knew him. For as stated their memories have not been erased and they also knew the time appointed for judgement had not yet come.
They were also revealing his true identity the Son of God.
So that is why he rebuked them for the time of him to be revealed had not come either.
And whenever any did know of his true identity he let them know that this was given them of the Father in Heaven
Now back to why they asked to be cast into the pigs. For they knew that Jesus would cast them out from these men.
For the Father had said they would never possess a body of flesh and bones a human body.
But nothing was said of animals.
That is how badly they wanted to experience a body.
The pigs did not let them in but they strived to possess the pigs bodies anyway and the pigs would not have anything to do with them for it was not natural. And they destroyed themselves rather then let them possess them.
I am sure that Jesus knew the pigs would make this choice.
Remember Jesus plan is free agency.
All things living were created spiritually before they were fiscally. And all were commanded to reproduce after their kind.
Heavenly Father wants us to understand his plan for he loves us all.
Men who think they are learned mess things up. Not all of them on purpose. But some of them purposely misguide it is horrible.
And others just do not know that which they need to know to save you.
So always as the scriptures tell you to do ponder it out in your own minds. And then pray to your Father who is in Heaven through the name of Jesus Christ who is our mediator to the Father. And if you ask with a sincere heart and real intent he will make the truth of all things made known unto you through the power of the Holy Ghost. Who can reveal the truth of all things unto you.
Don't just depend upon the words of men.
For they can deceive and mislead.
Even as vile as a pig may be, being an unclean animal listed in Lev.11, could not tolerate bring possesed by demons..now the demons are again in search of a body to reenter and possess..nearly as being released in the abyst..
Really, you have pondered this question, whilst totally ignoring all of the actual evidence we have that proves the reality of Evolution via Natural Selection?
This explanation is so divine. I have always found it to be one of the most difficult Bible passages to interpret. Thank you Pastor John.
IA,.....Sorry, but his explanation is 100% incorrect. He does not understand the Bible. This is not a difficult passage/scripture.
Nothing to interpret really. Another example of the power God gave his son over everything on earth. No need to over explain and complicate anything. What the demons did in those pigs has no bearing on the Faith you put in God and Christ.
I Found The Passage Genesis2:7-22 Hard To Believe
@@motofreeman6424 ,.....There is everything to interpret here. You have shown that you do not understand God or his word.
@@swissshepherd1186 ,......The Bible is the only truth the world has. Everything that is contrary or differs from this account is nothing but a lie and the fables of men. Basically, everything the world teaches and believes is contrary to this account. It is all just a different religion. There is the Bible and Gods account of what and how he created things, and the worlds version (the religion of scientism) that is the complete opposite. One religion (actual Christianity) trusts God, and rejects mans version, the other religion (scientism) trusts mankind, and rejects Gods version. It is all a battle of two religions. The people of God, and the Godless people of the world.
Trust God, and never man.
wow...to know the reason behind all of the questions asked concerning the pigs are so overwhelming, God is so wonderful. Jesus demands a choice...either love him and his salvation or loves your prosperity and your wealth...the message is very clear...we are given a choice, therefore choose wisely. Praise God, Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!
I finally understand the fullness of this short story. Thanks.
