Disclaimer: Just so every one knows if this post is not allowed to be talked about, would like someone to message me about this, because my third warning would not be a great thing to have to deal with because probably will be banned from this site. Am a professed believer that the Lord Jesus Christ has overcame; Sin, Satan, Hades (Sheo'l/Hell), and Death.

Some people believe that the devil, Satan is still out there fighting against the powers of God to drag people to hell and if that is what you believe, no judgement here. Though I believe the Lord Jesus Christ is more powerful than the devil, and crushed Satan's head already so the only enemy we have: If God can be for us who can be against us? It is ourselves. --

Knowing this it means that people have a choice to either walk and follow God, and the Lord Jesus Christ in the faith they have, or to reject it and not have nothing to do with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Some people love the darkness more than the light.


In this video which is a minute long is me explaining darkness vs the light, dying with christ vs living for ourselves, Spirit vs flesh.​

Here are the scriptures that were used. Thank you for taking time to read the disclaimer, and God bless you and your families!


John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Mark 7: 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. :

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

Romans 6: 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Galatians 2: 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.


Thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of our sins that he gives. The Lord Jesus Christ came to take on the sins of the entire world, and did so without lashing out or decide to stop taking them on by his own will.

Jesus Christ our Lord died for us that we can be saved from our sins accept forgiveness and move forward into the light, by placing faith (trust/confidence) in God and the Lord Jesus. We are given a spirit to help us with our fallen nature, when we are born again by the spirit we can understand heavenly things, and have the spirit to give us joy, peace, kindness, love, mercy, forbearance, long suffering, forgiveness of others because we have been forgiven.

Oh what wonderous joys can be found in Christ Jesus.​

Nice presentation thanks.

I think to complete the picture you need to recognise that although our own wilful rejection of God's ways result in a corrupted heart and are usually the first cause, the demonic can and will take opportunity to latch onto the weakness of the flesh and fuel the fire so to speak.

For this reason, early believers not only repented but also renounced former ways. Repentance dealt with corruption in the heart, renounciation dealt with any demonic intrusion.

Some verses to consider...

Jas 3
13Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behaviour his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. 15This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. 16For where jealousy and [m]selfish ambition exist, [n]there is disorder and every evil thing. 17But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, [o]reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, [p]impartial, free of hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace [q]by those who make peace.

2 Cor 4
we have renounced the things hidden because of shame..

Renounced in the Greek is to "Speak against" - this is not prayer, it is to proclaim against the demonic aspect of sin that may have a stronghold in the believers life.

Happy to discuss this further if you would like to.

It is true, men don’t seem to need help doing the wrong things, we tend to follow our nature. Satan does not need to expend much energy on those who are hellbent on serving themselves. He will get involved if he feels he is losing you though.
1 Thess, 2:18
We wanted very much to come to you, and I, Paul, tried again and again, but Satan prevented us.

2 Corinthians 11:3
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:14
No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Matthew 4:1
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Mark 1:13
And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

Luke 4:2
for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.

Luke 4:5
And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

1 Corinthians 7:5
Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Thessalonians 3:5
For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain.

Acts 5:3
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?

John 13:2
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot,
