00:00Hello brothers, how are you?
00:02Guys, I was just here thinking about something you know.
00:05Have you ever stopped to think that while we are living here in the real world, the physical
00:09world, there's also the spiritual world acting in the same way and that actually the spiritual
00:16world rules over the earth.
00:18It's really crazy right to think this way.
00:20But I keep imagining what it would be like if we could see what's behind the physical
00:26world, if you could see the angels at work and the demons too, God doesn't allow that
00:31first because otherwise we'd go crazy, right?
00:34We wouldn't be able to work properly, we wouldn't have peace, we'd always be like this, obsessed
00:39with the hidden world, the invisible world and we wouldn't really live here on earth.
00:44So God doesn't allow it.
00:46But there are people of course who can see into the spiritual realm and from time to time
00:51God gives them a glimpse, He reveals something to the person.
00:54And then I also start imagining how many people must be possessed, that is, who are possessed
01:01by demons.
01:03But it doesn't manifest, the person doesn't, they don't fall to the ground, they don't
01:07thrash around, they don't scream, you know.
01:10Many times people even ask why some churches have more manifestations of demons than others.
01:15Brothers, actually most of the people who are possessed right now, the devil doesn't
01:21manifest.
01:22You understand?
01:22You can look at the politicians in government and leadership, so many people influenced by
01:28evil.
01:29But you don't see what's behind it.
01:31You understand?
01:33That's also true, with celebrities.
01:35Yeah, in the music world, there's so much bad stuff out there brothers.
01:40And so, here on my channel, as you know, I always share content from a less obvious point
01:46of view.
01:46Because I want you to start seeing things, not the way most people see them, but for you to
01:51think beyond.
01:52You know?
01:53So, I want to make a recommendation here.
01:55Taking the opportunity, I want to recommend a movie that I watched with my wife.
01:59Which actually is a horror movie.
02:01I don't usually watch horror movies.
02:04But this one is a Christian horror movie.
02:06In fact, I thought the strategy was amazing.
02:09Because, the company that produced this movie is the same one that made that movie, God's
02:15Not Dead.
02:15They always try to bring a less obvious point of view as well.
02:19And so, they had the idea to create a Christian horror movie.
02:24Precisely to reach people who are Christians, but mainly those who don't know the Bible.
02:29People who like this kind of genre, you know?
02:32And then, they made the movie called Nefarious.
02:36Or Nefarious, right?
02:37It doesn't matter what we call it.
02:39I'll put the movie cover and some scenes here on the screen.
02:43Brothers, I had already heard people telling me to watch this movie.
02:48I confess that I'm like in shock.
02:51Because the movie Brothers, it portrays, it deals with spiritual warfare in a way that
02:56we often don't notice.
02:59And it shows in detail how the enemy works behind the scenes.
03:04Brothers, I'm like, I'm impressed.
03:06If you can, watch it as soon as possible.
03:09I rented this movie on Amazon Prime.
03:12And if I'm not mistaken, I paid 6 reais and 90 cent taavus.
03:16You have to watch this movie.
03:18Invite people to watch it.
03:19Share it with them.
03:20Because it opened my eyes in such a powerful way.
03:23Because think about something with me.
03:26When Jesus, he told the disciples that he was going to the cross.
03:29Peter, the apostle Peter, who at the time was just a disciple, he rebuked Jesus, right?
03:35And he said, Jesus, you're not going to the cross at all.
03:39I will defend you.
03:40I will protect you.
03:41Even if I have to die.
03:43Brothers, at that moment, Jesus had spiritual discernment.
03:46And he rebuked the one who was using Peter, who in fact was Satan.
03:50And Jesus rebuked him saying, get behind me, Satan.
03:54You only know about the things of men.
03:56You don't know about the things of God.
03:59Do you understand?
04:01So the devil, he knows everything about the things of men.
04:04And at that moment, Satan was using Peter's mouth.
04:07He influenced Peter's mind.
04:09Because Peter already had this desire to protect Jesus.
04:13He loved Jesus.
04:14But the devil used that weakness of Peter.
04:16Because Peter still didn't have spiritual discernment.
04:20And that's why brothers, here on my channel, I always bring spiritual content.
04:24Because people, unfortunately, they still think very rationally.
04:29Still very much with an earthly perspective, you know.
04:32And if we don't have a spiritual perspective on things, we can become a stumbling block.
04:37Even for God's work.
04:39So thinking about that, I did an analysis on how the enemy works to try to destroy human
04:45beings in a very detailed, step-by-step way.
04:48And I'm going to share it here now so you can't miss this analysis, alright?
04:53And after this analysis, I will say a specific prayer for deliverance so that God may open
04:59your spiritual eyes.
05:00Maybe you're not feeling well or even nothing seems to work out in your life.
05:04Your life feels held back.
05:06It seems like it's stuck.
05:08I want to say a prayer for you in a little while, okay?
05:11But first, I'll leave you with this analysis I did.
05:14You're going to watch it until the end.
05:16And then you'll receive this prayer, I want to pray over your life, alright?
05:21Watch it now.
05:22And don't forget, at the end, after the prayer, share it.
05:34Many people, including those who attend religious temples and call themselves Christians, have
05:40doubts about whether demons exist among us.
05:45For many, Satan and his demons are mystical figures created by popular imagination just
05:51to create fear and prevent people from doing certain things that are not approved by God.
05:57But that's not what the Bible says.
06:00According to the scriptures, the devil is more real than we imagine.
06:03And the one who assures us of this is Peter, one of the disciples closest to Jesus, who saw
06:10up close what Satan can do to people's lives here on earth.
06:14Let's read what he wrote.
06:25Yes brothers, Satan and his demons exist and they are closer than we can imagine.
06:32But this subject is not discussed very often among Christians.
06:36Maybe because they are frightening, some people avoid this subject.
06:40But the truth is that the Bible has a lot to say about these creatures and the power they
06:45have over people.
06:47And to understand the power of demons, we must first get to know them.
06:52Many people believe that a demon is Satan himself, but that's not true.
06:58A demon is a fallen angel just like Satan.
07:02They are spiritual entities created by God, but who rebelled and became part of Satan's army.
07:07Let's see what Judas wrote.
07:11The angels who did not keep their positions of authority, but abandoned their own dwelling.
07:17He has kept in darkness, bound with eternal chains for the judgment of the great day.
07:23In this passage, Judas is referring to the angels who rebelled against God, that is the demons.
07:31They are accused of having abandoned the purpose for which they were created.
07:35And about a third of them were cast out of heaven, along with Satan, who did this because he
07:42wanted to have more authority than God himself.
07:45And now that we know who the demons are, let's find out about their powers, according to some
07:50passages from the Bible.
07:52So let's go.
07:53First, demons can enter animals and humans.
07:57Besides causing fear, creating problems, and setting traps in our paths to bring us down
08:03and keep us away from God's presence, demons can also possess the bodies of living beings.
08:09In Mark 5, there is a very clear passage about this.
08:14The Bible says that after casting out a legion of demons from a man, Jesus allowed these beings
08:20to enter a herd of pigs that were on a hill near that place.
08:25Let's see what is written.
08:27Then Jesus asked him, What is your name?
08:31My name is Legion, he replied, for we are many.
08:35And he begged Jesus earnestly not to send them out of that region.
08:39A large herd of pigs was grazing on a nearby hill.
08:44The demons begged Jesus, Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter them.
08:49He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs.
08:55The herd of about 2,000 pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in it.
09:02Look at this brothers, in this verse you can see that by God's permission, demons can
09:08also enter animals as well as control them.
09:11And besides that, demons enter people's bodies.
09:15Let's see what the Gospel of Luke says about the situation of Mary Magdalene, who was possessed
09:21by seven demons.
09:24Jesus was going through the cities and villages, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of
09:29God.
09:30The twelve were with him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases,
09:37Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had come out.
09:42Just as it happened in those two situations, the enemy still has this power, so we cannot
09:49underestimate him.
09:50Instead, we must cling to the Lord, because nothing happens without his permission.
09:56Amen.
09:57Second, Demons can cause mental illnesses.
10:01Few people know this, but demons can cause, among so many bad things, mental illnesses in
10:07the people.
10:08And one of the best known examples of this evil power is also told in Mark chapter 5, in
10:15the story of the demon-possessed Gadarene.
10:18Let's see what is written.
10:19When Jesus disembarked, a man with an unclean spirit came from the tombs to meet him.
10:26This man lived among the tombs, and no one could bind him, not even with chains, for he
10:33had often been bound hand and foot, but he had torn the chains apart and broken the irons
10:39on his feet.
10:39Yet, no one was strong enough to subdue him.
10:42Night and day, he would cry out and cut himself with stones among the tombs and in the hills.
10:50Look at this, brothers.
10:51This shows that demons can make us act in ways that are completely different and strange from
10:57what we are used to.
10:58And the book of Matthew also shows us another example of this.
11:02Let's take a look.
11:04When they came to where the crowd was, a man approached Jesus, knelt before him and said,
11:10Lord, have mercy on my son.
11:12He has seizures and is suffering a lot.
11:15Many times he falls into the fire or into the water.
11:18I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn't heal him.
11:22Jesus answered, Oh, unbelieving and perverse generation, how long will I be with you?
11:28How long will I have to put up with you?
11:30Bring the boy to me.
11:32Jesus rebuked the demon.
11:34It came out of the boy.
11:35And from that moment on, he was healed.
11:39But brothers, pay close attention to what I am about to say now.
11:43Just because Satan and his demons can cause mental illnesses in people, it doesn't mean
11:48that everyone with some kind of psychological disorder is possessed by demons.
11:52And that has nothing to do with it.
11:54These people are loved by God and protected by him.
11:59Unfortunately, some people interpret these biblical passages in the wrong way and end up judging
12:05people with disabilities in a very unfair way.
12:08Please don't do that.
12:10Okay?
12:12Third, demons can cause physical illnesses.
12:14Just like psychological illnesses, demons are also capable of causing physical illnesses in
12:20human beings.
12:21This includes making him mute, blind, deaf, among others.
12:26Let's see what the Bible says in Matthew 4.
12:30As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus, who could not speak.
12:36When the demon was cast out, the mute man began to speak.
12:40The crowd was amazed and said, nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.
12:45Now see what is written in Matthew 12.
12:49They brought to him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him so
12:56that he could speak and see.
12:58And the Bible also tells of a woman who suffered from a physical deformity caused by an evil spirit.
13:04See what is written.
13:06There was a woman there who had a spirit that had kept her sick for 18 years.
13:12She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
13:16And right after, Luke emphasized that the woman was suffering because of Satan.
13:22So this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had kept bound for 18 long years,
13:28shouldn't she be set free on the Sabbath day from what was binding her?
13:32Did you notice brothers, how demons have the power to humiliate us, causing us psychological
13:39and physical pain.
13:40But just like with the issue of the mentally disabled, we can't say that every physical
13:45disability is the work of the enemy.
13:48Alright, remember that.
13:504.
13:50Demons can deceive nations.
13:52This is a power that not everyone knows about, but it's much more common than we can
13:57imagine.
13:57That's why in Revelation 16, the Apostle John gave the following account.
14:03I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
14:08the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits that look like frogs.
14:14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs.
14:17They go out to the kings of the whole world to gather them for the battle of the great day
14:22of God Almighty.
14:25Entire nations can be destroyed by the work of demons.
14:29And how does that happen?
14:31Through corruption, social inequalities, hunger, greed and all the other bad things that the
14:38enemy plants in the hearts of the rulers of those countries.
14:42And it's important for us to know that demons will always work together to achieve their
14:47greatest goals.
14:49That's why it's so important for us to pray for our country and place it in God's
14:53hands.
14:54That's why the word tells us.
14:57How happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose to be his own.
15:03From heaven, the Lord looks down and sees all humanity.
15:06From his throne, he watches all the inhabitants of the earth.
15:10He who forms the heart of everyone, who knows everything they do.
15:14No king is saved by the size of his army.
15:17No warrior escapes by his great strength.
15:215.
15:22Demons can control unbelievers.
15:24Many people who have not truly given their lives to Jesus do not care about the existence
15:29of demons simply because they do not believe that there is a spiritual world that influences
15:35our existence here on earth.
15:37However, the Bible gives us the example of unbelievers who were harmed and even used by demons.
15:43See what is written in Acts 19.
15:48Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord
15:53Jesus over those who were demon-possessed, saying, In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches,
16:00I command you to come out.
16:02Those who were doing this were seven sons of Sceva, a chief priest of the Jews.
16:08One day the evil spirit answered them, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?
16:16Then the man possessed by the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them, beating
16:21them with such violence that they fled from the house naked and wounded.
16:25Look at this brothers.
16:27We need to understand that every human being is good at their core because they were created
16:33in the image and likeness of God.
16:35But as a person lets sin enter their heart, they distance themselves from God and with that
16:42they become vulnerable to the actions of the enemy.
16:44The devil uses people who do not seek the Lord and who keep bad feelings in their hearts,
16:50anger, hatred, rebellion, envy, lies, addictions, among other sins.
16:57And we may not even believe it, but Satan and his demons are behind all of this.
17:03That's why we need to pray for these people and cry out for the blood of Jesus to protect us
17:09from everyone who is under the influence of demons, okay?
17:13I know it's scary to think that evil has so much power.
17:16But as Christians brothers, we don't need to worry.
17:20Christ has all the power in heaven and on earth.
17:23And he can command the demons to leave us in an instant.
17:27That's why it's so important for us to follow the teachings of Christ, to believe in his word
17:33and to be faithful in everything so that we can overcome the spiritual forces of evil that come against us.
17:40Amen.
17:41We must always be alert to the schemes of Satan and never underestimate his power.
17:47But always remember that he is not all powerful, that power belongs only to God.
17:53And ever since Jesus came into the world, the devil has done everything he could to overcome him,
17:59to defeat him and to keep him from fulfilling God's will.
18:02But his plan was frustrated when Christ died for our sins and rose again.
18:08Hallelujah.
18:09So my dear brother and sister, if we stand firm with Christ, we will be more than conquerors.
18:15Amen.
