- The New Testament includes many accounts of Jesus and the apostles confronting and casting out demons. Are demonic spirits still active in the world today? Can a Christian be possessed by a demon?
Dr. David K. Bernard draws on Scripture and his experiences traveling and preaching around the globe to answer these important questions. He shows that, while Satanic forces certainly are at work in the modern world, believers have victory over them through Jesus Christ.

My summary:
We should not exaggerate the devil's power. There is a human will. You can cast out the Devil but you cannot cast out the flesh. Thank you, Jesus Christ, for your word. We are not possessed by the Holy Spirit, rather we are filled with the spirit. We are established by the word of God, not by experiences. Love this teaching. Christians should not fear the Devil. Great work Bishop.
CLINICAL PARANOIA IS ESENTIAL FOR ALL CHRISTIAN CULT MEMBERS.
CLINICAL PARANOIA IS ALRIGHT FOR CHRISTIAN KIDS. HOW EDUCATED ARE YOU?
Wow I am hooked with these vlogs. Love the way the Dr Bernard explains things.

That's the Holy Ghost working thru him. The indwelling of the Holy Ghost whereby one is made a vessel of the Lord for His words or things wanted to be explained and known.

Can we expound on the difference between possession and oppression? And then perhaps possession and mental health issues?
relationship to mental health issues would be really helpful!
@@Shadows_900 I think I'm being oppressed
@@Shadows_900 thank you. I think sometimes I get confused about the word of God because of the various interpretations
@@Shadows_900 thank you for expressing kindness and care. I really appreciate that. I will look into the scripture you gave me and pray about it.
@@Shadows_900 I am not sure. How can I know?
Bitter and sweet water does not come out of the same vessel
The flesh is one thing, but if you have the cant help it going on, you got something helping you oppressing you and need to be delivered.
Praises to the LORD and a wonderful day to you Rev. Bernard! I am always watching your podcast in your y.tube channel and I can say that our organization is very blessed to have you! Can you do a podcast about women pastors and how should we answer questions about them? Thank you and may our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST always be with you!! 🙌

Great content. It would be awesome to see Brother Bernard sit down and talk with Jordan Peterson. Love to see that conversation!
Bro Bernard, I would really enjoy listening to your knowledgeable answers about the paranormal/spirit entities - both good and evil - as they are involved with humanity. My brother had the Holy Ghost and died suddenly at the age of 26. I was 21. For two or three days after his death, I would go to his room... dealing with the loss. I know it sounds strange... but I felt such heavenly peace and just a... stillness in the air. I felt like Howard was in the room with me. Im 57 now and just curious as to what your studies in the Word of God has revealed to you. Thank you!
Greetings man of God from Quito Ecuador Amén/I am your partnership and concerns. May the LORD Almighty continue blessing You always #Thanks. Amén 🙌🙌
As usual, an excellent explanation! So thankful to have wise and Godly leadership that understands scripture and rightly divides the Word of Truth!
I agree with what David K Bernard shared about devil possession of believers. It is not pisdible for a devil to possess a born again believer. But, e where he talks of 'pleading the blood of Jesus', I strongly disagree with him.
Nothing in the scriptures supports that idea, so I don't see why à believer should be pleading the blood.
1.The blood of Jesus is not à tangible élement in the hand of the believer.
À believer a cessé thé blood only through water baptism, and that is when he is practically applying the blood of Jesus.
I know that God has chosen water to represent the blood of Jesus,(making water the covenant item for the New Testament salvation of saints)
2.Trinitaruans are pleading the bllood of Jesus or covering people and things with the blood of Jesus, and we ask them, where is the blood they are covering people with?
If David K Bernard can give us scriptures that support this particulier part of his teaching then I will like to have it.
Could you do an episode concerning "deliverance ministry"? This seems to be a huge trend right now, and many people are taking a real look at it.
I’d like to hear one about the Dead Sea Scrolls. Thanks!
I was filled with the Holy Ghost in 1982 in a Spirit Filled Church! I went from complete darknes to on fire Holy Ghost Filled young man in the Lord? Hungry for only Jesus,? I felt Jesus thru the Baptism of the Holy Ghost take every scar of my past away and i was completly born again! But i was young and i thought i was invoncible and i got knocked down by satan? A few months later i was on a trip to florida picked up another born again christian? Praiseing God and just having a great day when right outside of Tallahause i picked up another man who had just got out of prison and was a warlock in the occult? I never fely such evil ? I rebuked him in Jesus Name he just laughed at me? Now the man i picked up first was also a x warlock and now was a Born Again Christian! I told the man just out of prison to get out of my car and he just laughed and got out but the other man got out with him? I was zelous but no knowledge or experience with the Gifts of the Spirit of God? Anyway i was sick to my stomach and i felt a evil prescense for days after? Years later i was in a Apostolic Church in Mississippi as always i was one of the first to the prayer room? I was praying i tongues but the others could decern i was not of the spirit of God so during service several layed hands on me ? I first took 8 men backwards and i suddenly thought this isnt right so that day i did not get delivered and i was being tormented much? But the demons made me think your powerful anyway i went to Missouri and ran to a Assembly God Preacher i knew? He said do you really want free? I said yes but when all the ministers laid hands on me i started openly rebuking satan and i felt the spirits leave? The Preacher told me to read some chapters of the Bible and i felt the Holy Spirit fill me again? Now God uses me to deliver others! Are there pigs in the parlor? Yes they are! I want you to know before I was married when I was in the Apostolic Church and my wife left me and I backslid badly? When I came back I wasn't of the same Spirit and I didn't know I was possessed but I was? I was also called to the ministry by Jesus? One of the biggest lies is a Christian cannot be possessed and I think it's easier to believe then not? Amen
Praise Jesus, I believed what was said by Dr. Bernard. A child of God who repents, filled with the Holy Spirit, living for God cannot be Demond possess.
AMEN ❣️
could you make a video about random bouts of depression upon waking in the morning or relaxing (when finished working) that are not medical related?
Good eve Pastor Bernard..Apostolic Oneness here from Philippines..
Last 2021 we've encounter so many battle about a Christian having possessed or what do we call this..,afyer receiving HolyGhost,they see some evil spirit that we as elders of the Church can't see..And Some of the elder of the church possessed or encounter evil spirit,then We as elders together with our Pastor rebuked the devil,sometimes it came out and and keep returning, but by continious praying and kneeling before the Lord the devil defeated and never came back..but sometimes when that man(Filled with the HolyGhost)got depressed and got angry,He suddenly again feel the devils beside him..We assure that he is filled with the HolyGhost as he already spoke other tongues,not every Sunday but when we pray and worshipped,he speaks other tongues..
Is it possible that the flesh is so weak so that the devil controlled him?not possessed him.,since He already baptized in the HolySpirit.?
Amen 🙏
Amen
40 years ago a Southern Baptist Pastor Peter Lord was speaking at our NON Denominational NON full gospel church he cast some demons out of a fellow, when the demons came out the guy did a back flip over a row of chairs and went into convulsions. The Pastor of our church stated he believed demons were in Africa but he didn't believe such was IN his church till he saw it with his own eyes.
There are ppl in the church that demon possessed and the sad thing is that they are very active in church.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jesus name
There are three books that I would really love to know the background of, I’ve heard different views from many people.
Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees.
(I saw Jasher quoted in the Old Testament and I’m very curious.
Thank you!
Copeland!!!!!
I totally agree with the Bible and align with Dr. Bernard's Biblical response. There is too much "christian demonic possession" tumultuous psychological, emotionally driven, 'addicted to hype', fake exorcisms becoming popular. This video is needed for many is this season, especially.
You need to be open to the truth.
iinsane ~goodbye!- David- )
You don't agree with him?
I am a Pentecostal Apostolic *Holy Spirit* filled Christian as in *ACTS 2:4* *And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.* I endeavour to put on Christ in my daily life & be careful of what I let into my ear gate & eye gate, by keeping my external & internal environment clean, because God is Holy! I must also be holy. *1 PETER 1:15* *But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16* *Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.*
A surgeon will not operate in a dirty operating room or with dirty surgical tools, so my environment must be as clean as much as I have in my control to do so. The Bible states in *MARK 3:27* *No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.* The Holy Spirit lives in me, so I *cannot* be occupied by another spirit at the same time. I can be influenced/tempted by an unclean spirit. Jesus was tempted of the devil in *MATTHEW 4:1* In *1 SAMUEL **16:14**,* King Saul was tormented by an evil spirit. If receiving the power of Holy Spirit & diligently walking with Christ, putting Him on, being a doer and not forgetful hearer of the Word of God does not prevent you from being filled with an unclean spirit there is something wrong! *What is more powerful than the Holy Spirit in this earth?*
*1 JOHN 4:4* *Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.*
*There is no spiritual coup where some demonic entity can come & overthrow God who is seated on the throne of my heart as if a demonic entity is any match for Jehovah Sabbaoth!*
You can yield yourself as to obey sin. *1 KINGS **21:25* *But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.* Apostle Paul admonishes in *ROMANS 6:16* *Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. 19* *I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.*
Many of the things we are fighting, are *generational gods* that cause *generational curses.* These gods can influence our lives causing us to act ungodly when they are triggered. Acknowledging, repenting, confessing, renouncing, fasting, Bible reading will deaden the flesh that these gods operate through & allow them to lose their holds on us. We must throw these gods down as Gideon did in *JUDGES **6:27**-29* & reestablish Jesus as the rightful King seated on a throne of our lives as Isaiah did *ISAIAH 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.*
I personally have generational gods in my lineage that try to influence me over the Holy Spirit, but I try resist the devil as *JAMES 4:7* instruction me to do.

I am watching and enjoying Bro Bernard knowledge of the scripture every time he puts water baptism in Jesus' name. I am confused , Jesus already commands the discilipes in St Matt:28, 19-20. Will not replace Peter baptism in the name of Jesus, Let face the truth of water baptism because that's just a witness that the new believers take to show the world of their new life in the salvation of God through Jesus Christ....
Excellent Job In Explaining This, Dr. Bernard!🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇮🇱♾️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽🦅‼️
Years ago i knew a Apostolic Minister famous for being a deliverance minister?.i had a young man posssed and took him to a Apostolic Minister to be delivered? This man was about 250 pds over 6ft tall? I had prayed for the young man and he would literally bounce off the floor? He said i have no fear of the Preacher? I said he should? But when he went to the altar to be prayed for the 130 pd man after the minister layed hands on him he picked the Minister up and threw him and jumped on his face and started biting him? The deacon jumped on top of the young man and tore him away from the Preacher! A day later i was on my way to the famous Apostolic Minister to help the man get free? We stopped and The we called the minister to see if he would be in? He said never mind i will pray right here on the phone? I said ok so he prayed and then he fell backwards and went out? His wife said he is resting now? I looked at the young man who was the same possessed! Now what im saying is satan is a deceiver and this minister had books he had written and he was older now and was in a routine and satan was deceieving him? Lord i say this be careful because satan can deceive us? It's hard to text this but it is true! But I think some of the strongest ministers are the Apostolic ministers of all! But we must stay prayed and fasted up and in the Fire of God! The Minister who was attacked did not fast anymore! And was not prepared for the demon possessed man? I love all these ministers but remember we must finish this fight?
Short Answer. NO !
Most of the time the flesh can get out of hand. The devil has no power in a Holy Ghost filled, prayed up, One God disciple.
Repenting, humbling yourself before the Lord, fasting and pray, praising and magnifying the Lord, reading the word and praying in the Holy Ghost. Casting off the garments of temptation with a sincere heart and the Grace of God will deliver anyone from sin or oppression
Is it possible to have the holy spirit and a demon at the same time. Derrick prince. Im surprised as much as you travel and preach you never encountered this. Absolutely possible, im a evangelist and encountered this! Derrick prince personally has and i regard him as the greatest teacher the worlds had this last century.
How can a person who does not cast out demons teach you about Demons?
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
God can deliver people also through prayer when alone. If a person is hanging onto unforgiveness including a born again believer a demon can manifest in them. When we receive the Holy Spirit it does not mean the Holy Spirit is always in our temple. God is omnipresent and the Holy Spirit is always around us. When we worship the Holy Spirit falls on us but we still have to yield to it to let it in. A born again Christian can most certainly break Christs commandments in Matthew 22 34 to 40 by resenting someone. In John 14 Jesus told us if we keep his commandments he will manifest himself in us or our temple. This is proof that we are not always filled with the Holy Spirit as Born again believers. You will know when you are filled. Anxiety is impossible to experience when filled. You will only be able to love others as Jesus loves them and see others as someone he died for. We need to stop telling Christians that they can not have demons. So many need deliverance. I have had pastors manifest in front of my because I had Jesus manifesting in me. It is biblical.
Thank You!..... In the Bible we see a stark contrast before and after God's spirit was 'poured out' on that day of Pentecost..... Before, demonic spirits ran amuck among the pagan cultures. Most people recognized them as a common occurrence. Even the Apostle Peter is used as a mouthpiece of Satan (Matt 16:23). Jesus alone seems to be the only one who can exert full authority. After God's spirit is received by the Jewish disciples, things change.
However, I suppose the gentiles were still getting spiritually harassed until Cornelius (and some others) also experienced the 'new birth' themselves. These once holy angels seem to have degenerated into unstable creatures/beings who's primary motivation and function is to kill and destroy. So, apparently God uses them for this purpose until their time is up. We also see mention of this in the New Testament.... 1 Corinthians 5:5 deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord Jesus.
A Jewish Rabbi expressed it this way..... "Satan does God's dirty work".
If a person has more faith in medicament prescriptions (aka farmakeia) does it mean there is something that open a path for that kind of stuff?
Francisco, probably not in principle. Some medication can be helpful, so to go to a pharmacy does not automatically lead to demonic possession.
But it could be a sign that a person is living out of fear (has a spirit of fear, not of strength), if a person takes 20 or 30 different pills per day.
In that case: that oerson should read the Bible much more and pray more to give room to the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Strength. (2 Timothy 1,7).
What to you mean by you must cast a demon out when oppressed? How?
Praise the lord, this message is for Pastor Bernard. My kids are baptist in Jesus name but didn’t get the Holy Ghost. My daughter is 14 now and has a liking to snakes. She likes to wear snake rings and even ask for a pet snake. I have told about how the devil used the snake to deceive Eve and how God cursed that species. Also she has this thing that God is love. That people can love who they want. Before she was into bianary stuff. I try so hard to infused that God doesn’t make mistakes and hates sin. I have to handle my daughter with kid gloves bc she gets into depression. I’m praying for my children daily. What can I tell her more about liking snakes and if you have a in depth video of hell. I know Jesus preached more of hell. Anyway, if you can keep me and my family in your prayers. I want all of my love ones to be rapture ready. Ty
Snakes are not demons. That’s dumb but worshipping anything but the creator is not if God So kindly get off the snake demon thing and love her to Jesus
Nice picture sexy !!!!
The answer to this question is NO, IF they are an AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN.
2 Corinthians 6:14-15
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
If Jesus is in your heart and you keep him their then you are always divinely guided and protected. He want let nothing harm you.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
King James Version
From my research i have found demons or unclean spirits as taught in ancient Judaism to be spirits of departed Nephilim. These spirits did not have a place to go after death, they did not go to Sheol (place of dead humans), they did not go to Tartarus (place of fallen angel), they just hung out in an invisible state on the earth in a sort of limbo. In order to experience this physical life again, they had to do so by inhabiting a live human or animal in some way, it is unclear how they did so exactly. One could suggest that the physical body be inhabited or the soul (spirit body) could also be suggested, however the latter seems more unlikely, especially seeing it being consensus that animals don't have souls.
Ive been dwelling on this thought for quite a time now, and I've come to think this is the right approach to understand the difference because even in behavior, some act really stupid, like mindless and it seems a different case for fallen angels.
you are correct. this is pictures by Moses temple ( outer court= flesh, inner court= soul and holy of holies = spirit) king Solomon's temple had three floors. Noah's ark had three floors. we are a temple. demons inhabit the soulish realm and body in Christians and non Christians. watch deliverance ministers such as Ed citronelli, tb Joshua, etc...
That's correct, the Nephilims had bodies before but they got destroyed during the flood so it's their spirits that's roaming around the earth.
Animals are souls. Soul (nephesh)= a living, breathing creature. Six times nephesh was used in the creation account before man was made, pertaining to animals.
I have not watched the video yet, just read the thumbnail, but , Yes! Anyone can call themselves a Christian, but if you are not filled with Holy Spirit then you can be possessed
jesus said, that we are all possessed with these spirits, until we are sanctified by the gospel, as jesus was addressing the Jewish church leaders in Matthew 15,chapter ,who was challenging him, because the members of his church, had not washed their hands before they ate, but jesus rebuke, them telling them they lay aside the commandments of God, to hold on to their traditions, they like so many churches today, who reject jesus ministry the gospels,think because of washing their hands, sanitizing things and other measures, will prevent them from being defiled, or keep them from getting sick, but after jesus had left them, he told his followers, it ain't what goes in a man that's causing his problems, in his body, but what is already in every man and woman, he said out of the heart proceed, evil thoughts,adulteries.fornication,murders,adulteries.fornication, thefts, false witness, blasphemies, these are the things which defile a man, all these things my saviour mentioned is unclean spirits that is in the hearts of men and women, that only the father through the teachings of the gospel, can cast out.
It's demonic to believe that a Christian who is saved by the Wonderful FINISHED work of our Lord Jesus Christ ----- can lose that salvation!!!! It's a completed work and Jesus WILL NOT go to the cross again!!!😅
But most christians are not FILLED with the spirit. The majority are religious and carnal. So yes they can have demons, not possessed but have demons. There is nobody who is truly completely possessed, we have our wills but we can give the enemy access into areas of our lives where they can have a stronghold.
Demons are not Fallen Angels but are hybrid beings. Demons and fallen angels are two different things.
Simple answer: NO.
He already mention mental illnesses
Demon possession and demonized 6:51
Yes you right a true Christian can not be possessed two spirit can’t live in you
Wrong word used: possessed. Implies ownership, devil don’t own you if u r child of God but evil spirits can take control of some area of life, compelling unnatural actions of the weak. Learn from Derek Prince, his teaching is well known on “we shall expel demons” and also He has given his teaching on origins of demons, they are not fallen angels. Eg Jesus says demon spirit walk, angels can fly.
Many pastors who dont believe a. Christians can have not have demons have a religious spirit. I have incredible intimacy and have demons. Demonized is not demon possession. People who come out of the occult and are Christians often need deliverance from demons. Absolutely ignorant about this topic.
Research the word demonized, it literally means possession.
While I believe a Christian can be influenced and even oppressed by demonic forces...I in no way believe according to scripture a Christian can be possessed by demonic forces...Ephesians 4:30
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
If God the Holy Spirit has residence in your body GOD has sealed you against such demonic possession.
there's three realms to the human. spirit, body, and soul. this is pictures in Moses Tabernacle, Solomon's (3 floors) and Noah's ark (3 floors). there is no such thing in the Bible as possession period, for the believer or unbeliever. It's a bad translation. The better word would be demonized. Christians can and do have demons. Robert Morris has a good teaching on this called free indeed if you would like to know more.
Demonized literally means of demon possession.
@@clintsmitty symantecs...book, chapter, and verse.
Strong's Definitions: δαιμονίζομαι daimonízomai, dahee-mon-id'-zom-ahee; to be exercised by a dæmon:-have a (be vexed with, be possessed with) devil(-s).
@@wle5960 I’m agreeing with you. Demonized is not a better word as it literally means demon possessed. A true Christian who has repented, been baptized in Jesus’ name, and has been filled with the Holy Ghost evidenced with the speaking of tongues cannot be demon possessed (demonized). They can only be oppressed from the OUTSIDE. This oppression is by deception, accusation, temptation, and torment by demonic forces. Demons cannot indwell an individual filled with the Holy Ghost.
No. Because there are no supernatural beings.
Way to much mans wisdom rather than the holy spirit.
Do people really ask questions like this 🤭 A "Christian" yes.... a holy ghost filled believer, absolutely not!
Amen! Well said
Your response makes no sense. A Holy Ghost filled person is a Christian. A true Christian cannot be possessed. If you’re not a true Christian then you aren’t a Christian. It’s simple
@@tynstaci are you sure?
acts 6:3
Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
question= if you can be full of the holy spirit can you be half empty? or 1/4 full?🤔
So much fallacy here. So sad an entire people follow this theology
Short answer: no
