  1. This is a very important teaching to the Body of Christ. The Church of The Lord Jesus Christ has Total Access to the Kingdom of God. Praying is what the Church does, therefore use this time wisely; Acts chapter 10

  2. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will
    be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive
    heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves
    swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways,
    because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness
    they will exploit you with deceptive words; …

    But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed,
    speak evil of the
    things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own
    corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who
    count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and
    blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,
    having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing
    unstable souls. ……

    These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is
    reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

    – 2 Peter 2 ( NKJV )

  3. You all are fixing to be with this antichrist forever. Not one of you know one thing about Jesus, or God, or even who you are. And you are still my Fathers work, Because my Father is the God of good and evil. And none of you read the bible, So you all have listened to greedy money hungry bum stealing bastards like this world loving pig in this video. I am so glad that this pig and all that follow him will be dissolved by my Father VERY VERY VERY SOON. May God have mercy on you antichrist.

  4. The Bible is 100% true. If you don’t believe it, you haven’t spent enough time researching it or you just refuse to because it doesn’t conform to what you what to do. Spend two years researching it and not watching TV and see what happens. Jesus is the only true religion and the only one that makes sense.

  5. I have seen a demon, just before I went to a mission trip. It told me not to go or it would attack me. It was dark, like a black shadow, it actually radiated darkness. I told it to go away in Jesus name. It did. I’ve not seen an angel, I don’t think.

  6. amen.I love listening to bro Greg.I know who God is.I am a Christian.I will be with Jesus one day.I believe.

  7. Demons are real look up reptilian shape shifters and the illuminati/Freemasonry they control the world make the wars and are behind all corruption they live in our reality as well. I have seem them Infact they are trying to kill me this is what made me turn to god

  8. @tod beard
    ??? The bible makes a clear distinction between those with the palsy, epilepsy, etc & those who were afflicted with demons, haven’t you read the thing? I’m not saying you should believe what you read in the bible but you should maybe just actually READ IT because it specifically mentions BOTH.

  9. @Shawnstradamus
    There’s a difference between a ruler that forces loyalty and a ruler that lets you have your own free will to decide. All your questions go back to that. Study book of proverbs, it should help. Then branch out- every day should be a little bible study… Just keep at it, things will fall into place. Pray every day.
    Amos 3:3 “can two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?”

  10. @The Arch Warlock
    The word satan means slander & opposer. The bible clearly tells us “…your enemy, the devil…” & the devil is satan.

    Using that verse from samuel is just drollery- what next? …are you going to try citing Satan being called into the assembly of the sons of God (book of job) as more bible tomfoolery?

    There were better verses in Isaiah for that.. But they wouldn’t have panned out for you either.

  11. i have a question.. why is it that god spoke to so many ppl along time ago back in those days and presented visions to ppl and messages etc. but does not in the modern time.

  12. I like how he can dodge allegations of kid fucking and people say that he’s okay even though he overlays his audio with a lower key like a demon voice as he says absolutely nothing aside from what angels can get away with.

  13. Ben is correct when he says the rock and roll artist are dead but Jesus is alive. No one is in heaven or hell now, they are dead in the grave awaiting the resurrection. Until that time the dead no nothing and are unconscious. Humans don’t hav an immortal soul the have to put on immortality at Christ return.

  14. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE. I CAN’T WAIT TO LEARN HOW THE LORD ENCOURAGED MINISTER GREG LAURIE TO FLEECE ORANGE COUNTY CHRISTIANS INTO PAYING FOR GREG’S 350,000.00 BULLET REPLICA. I’M SURE GREG CONVINCED THEM ALL TO DIG DEEP THIS WEEK AND REALLY GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS, YOU KNOW TO AVOID DAMNATION AND TO PAY FOR THE TRICKED OUT CLOSE RATIO 5 SPEED TRANNY.

  15. 95% OF PEOPLE ARE BAD SAYS ANGEL POLLSTER. YES BUT THAT WAS ALL FIXED BY GOD’S FLOOD REMEMBER. THAT’S WHY NOAH BUILT AN ARK. THE FLOOD SOLVED ALL THAT. OR DID THE BIBLE ONCE AGAIN CONTRADICT ITSELF.?

  16. Spirits Have Not Lived and Died on Earth
    Spirits exist! Within the invisible spirit realm, there are both good and bad spirits. Are they persons who have lived and died on earth?

    No, they are not. When a person dies, he or she does not pass on to the spirit world, as many people think. How do we know this? Because the Bible says so. The Bible is a book of truth that comes from the only true God, whose name is Jehovah. Jehovah created humans; he well knows what happens to them when they die.—Psalm 83:18; 2 Timothy 3:16.

    Adam is made out of dust from the ground
    Adam came from dust, returned to dust

    The Bible says that God formed Adam, the first man, “out of dust from the ground.” (Genesis 2:7) God put him in Paradise, the garden of Eden. If Adam had obeyed Jehovah’s law, he would not have died; he would still be alive on earth today. But when Adam deliberately broke God’s law, God said to him: “You [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”—Genesis 3:19.

    What does this mean? Well, where was Adam before Jehovah created him from the dust? He was nowhere. He was not an unborn spirit in heaven. He did not exist. So when Jehovah said that Adam would “return to the ground,” he meant that Adam would die. He did not cross over to the spirit realm. At death, Adam once again became lifeless, nonexistent. Death is the absence of life.

    But what about others who have died? Are they also nonexistent? The Bible answers:

    “All [both humans and animals] are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.”—Ecclesiastes 3:20.

    “The dead . . . are conscious of nothing at all.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5.

    “Their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished.”—Ecclesiastes 9:6.

    “There is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [the grave], the place to which you are going.”—Ecclesiastes 9:10.

    “[Man] goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”—Psalm 146:4.

    A woman washes vegetables; men make straw baskets; men and women work on a construction project
    Only the living can do these things

    Do you find these scriptures hard to accept? If so, think about this: In many families, the man earns money to support his household. When the man dies, his family usually suffers hardship. Sometimes his wife and children do not even have enough money to buy food. Perhaps the man’s enemies will abuse them. Now ask yourself: ‘If that man is alive in the spirit world, why does he not continue to provide for his family? Why does he not protect his family from bad people?’ It is because the scriptures are correct. That man is lifeless, unable to do anything.—Psalm 115:17.

    A widow and her children beg for food; a child watches a man physically abuse his mother
    The dead cannot help the hungry or protect victims of abuse

    Does this mean that the dead will never come to life again? No, it does not. We will talk about the resurrection later. But it does mean that dead people do not know what you are doing. They cannot see you, hear you, or talk to you. You need not fear them. They cannot help you, and they cannot harm you.—Ecclesiastes 9:4; Isaiah 26:14.

  17. The Bible’s Viewpoint

    Who Are the Demons?

    GHOSTS, ghouls, goblins, genies, demons are spirit entities that people of various religions believe in and view as malevolent, benevolent, or both. Other people dismiss belief in spirits as just a superstition or as a figment of the imagination. What does the Bible say?

    The Bible teaches that the Creator himself is a Spirit and that his first creations were spirits. (John 4:24; Hebrews 1:13, 14) Further, the Bible mentions wicked spirits, sometimes referring to them as demons. (1 Corinthians 10:20, 21; James 2:19) But it does not teach that God created demons. Who, then, are they, and how did they come to exist?

    “Angels That Sinned”

    When God created spirit creatures, he made them free moral agents, able to choose for themselves whether to do good or bad. Sadly, after the creation of humankind, an undisclosed number of angels chose to do bad by rebelling against God.

    The first and most infamous spirit to rebel became Satan. “He did not stand fast in the truth,” said Jesus Christ. (John 8:44) What moved Satan to turn against God? He began to covet the worship that belongs exclusively to the Creator, and then he acted on that desire by setting himself up as a rival god. In this way he made himself “Satan,” a word that means “resister.” Centuries later, prior to the Flood of Noah’s day, other angels joined Satan, forsaking their heavenly position to materialize in human form and dwell on earth. (Genesis 6:1-4; James 1:13-15) When the Flood occurred, the materialized “angels that sinned” apparently returned to the spirit realm. (2 Peter 2:4; Genesis 7:17-24) In time, they came to be called demons.—Deuteronomy 32:17; Mark 1:34.

    The disobedient angels now found themselves in a very different situation from the one they had enjoyed before rebelling. Jude 6 reads: “The angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place [God] has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.” Yes, God did not allow the demons to enjoy their former privileges in heaven but consigned them to figurative “pits of dense darkness,” cut off from all spiritual enlightenment.

    “Misleading the Entire Inhabited Earth”

    Though evidently prevented from again materializing as humans, the demons still have great power and influence over the minds and lives of people. In fact, Satan, together with his demon hordes, is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9; 16:14) How? To a large extent, by means of the “teachings of demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1) These false teachings, often religious in nature, have blinded the minds of millions to the truth about God. (2 Corinthians 4:4) Consider some examples.

    ● The teaching that the dead are still alive. By means of apparitions, voices, and crafty actions, the demons deceive people into believing that the living can communicate with the dead. Moreover, this clever deception tends to give credence to the lie that a soul survives the death of the body. However, the Bible plainly states: “The dead are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6) Having ‘gone down into silence,’ they are unable even to praise God.—Psalm 115:17.*

    ● Anything-goes morality. “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one,” says 1 John 5:19. Satan and his demons exploit their power by using the media and other means to promote the evil notion that humans should give free reign to base fleshly desires. (Ephesians 2:1-3) Hence, immorality of every kind, including sexual perversions, is rife today. Such behavior is even considered normal, whereas Bible standards are often viewed as old-fashioned or narrow-minded.

    ● The promotion of spiritism. The apostle Paul encountered a servant girl possessed by “a demon of divination,” which enabled her “to furnish her masters with much gain by practicing the art of prediction.” (Acts 16:16) Aware of the source of her supernatural abilities, Paul refused to listen to the girl. Additionally, he did not want to offend God, who views all forms of spiritism—including astrology and appeals to occult powers—as detestable.—Deuteronomy 18:10-12.

    Protect Yourself Against the Demons

    How can you protect yourself against wicked spirits? The Bible answers: “Subject yourselves . . . to God; but oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) We heed that injunction when we live by the teachings found in the Bible, the only sacred book that fully exposes Satan, the demons, and their “crafty acts.” (Ephesians 6:11, footnote; 2 Corinthians 2:11) The Bible also tells us that the wicked spirits, along with all who oppose God, will not be around forever. (Romans 16:20) “The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it,” says Proverbs 2:21.
