    Do you believe in demons? Can we cast them out?

    Unclean spirits can dwell in anyone, including Spirit filled Christians. I have been involved in deliverance since the 70s and every single demon I have cast out was from Spirit filled Christians.

    Do you believe in demons? Can we cast them out?

    ALL Christians should be able to cast demons out.

    My Life Journey through the Lens of Many Charismatic and Paranormal Experiences

    I believe these words of knowledge were given so that you could intercede. As Jesus said, the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I have come to give life! If God gives such a word, it isn't cast in stone, and it's not as if God wants him dead is it. Given that God isn't into giving...

    Are today's Jewish Israelite's the descendants of original Israelite's

    Except that the majority of Arabs resident in Gaza or the West Bank came as migrant workers when Israel started to make the desert blossom! I have seen that from many Arab sources stating that fact. Their roots are mostly Syrian or Egyptian, not Palestine/Israel.

    Feeling guilty and rather overwhelmed by the conflict in Israel

    I do not believe this dream has anything to do with Israel. As related in the dream it is America, and daily we observe the southern border an open gate for terrorists and murderers to enter. ISIS in the dream represents all Islamic terrorists including Hamas. Your laying down your arms...

    Are today's Jewish Israelite's the descendants of original Israelite's

    Before the modern day Aliyah movement drew Jews to the land, it was largely bereft of people. Yes there were Beduin tribes and Arabs (and also Jews occupying certain parts, particularly Jerusalem), but according to various sources there was much land laid to waste or swamp. Then Jewish...

    My Life Journey through the Lens of Many Charismatic and Paranormal Experiences

    A wonderful testimony! Thank you. I love the fact that the Lord treats each one of us as individual children, not clones.. My experience is entirely different to yours, but equally impacting

    The Lord's Voice

    Wow, what a powerful statement of shear unbelief. I've been hearing God speak since I was a child and i'm 73 now. If I hadn't listened to that voice I would be dead, along with my wife. His voice has directly guided me in my business life, through words and visions and prophecies...

    Advice? Prophetic word?

    That's sad. In my long history of walking with the Lord He has spoken to me many times through dreams and visions, just as the scriptures say he would.

    Advice? Prophetic word?

    When the disciples were called, do you think they were free of pride? Look at their arguments as to who was the greatest! Surrender yourself to the Lord and allow him to lead you.

    The Lord's Voice

    When God says eat more red meat, I'd rather obey him than man. And eating meat is not contrary to God's law at all. In fact we are commanded to eat it. Go look at what God said to Noah. Blessings

    The Lord's Voice

    I write this from my hospital bed after a massive kidney failure. They told my wife I was dying, but here I am almost ready to go home. (I will add that there was tremendous spiritual warfare on my behalf) One of the things the consultant told me was that my red blood cells were incredibly low...

    The Lord's Voice

    Occasionally an audible voice. Mostly an inner but clear voice which wasn't mine. You'll laugh at this.- In my engineering business I had an opportunity to buy a piece of equipment that was way beyond my knowledge or experience, -for those in the know, a complete (used) powder coating system...

    The Lord's Voice

    For those who hear the voice of God, it comes in many different ways. Also, we can subconsciously put limits on it through false teaching, ie. the laughable idea that God only quotes scripture. In my case, I first heard God speak over 60 years ago, a good 10 years before I heard the gospel and...

    Do You Believe in Rhemas?

    I would be dead if I didn't listen to rhemas. God has been speaking to me with words outside the bible for more than 60 years, starting before I knew anything about the cross. I am retired now, but when I was in business, the Lord constantly led my decisions with rhema words and visions.

    What was Paul's thorn?

    I am perplexed. Everyone seems to be debating what Paul's thorn in the flesh was when it states quite clearly it was a messenger of Satan. In other words it was a demon, not a thing, not a symptom, but a personality of evil from the enemy, and it attacked his flesh, his physical frame. The...

    Do you believe in demons? Can we cast them out?

    Here's a revealing little snippet, Matt12v28But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Jesus did not cast demons out by his own power, but by the Spirit of God. In the very same manner, we should cast demons out. We issue the command, and the Spirit...

    Can we have the Holy Spirit within before "technically" coming to repentance?

    No one comes to the Father except through me. Amen. But this has always been the case because Jesus is the God manifest throughout the Old testament. It is He who walked with Adam in the Garden. It is He who brought the Israelites out of Egypt with Moses. Nowhere does it say we need to...

    Can we have the Holy Spirit within before "technically" coming to repentance?

    In stating that no one can have the Holy Spirit before they are saved, you are clearly contradicting what Jesus said in the very verse you quote.- Lk11v9“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks...

    Can we have the Holy Spirit within before "technically" coming to repentance?

    Absolutely yes. In fact I'd go further and say, essentially yes! I knew the Lord over a decade before I heard the gospel and repented. I heard him speak to me very distinctly in my early teens, but still had no theology. When I met the "Godsquad" in my mid twenties, I didn't want anything to...
