❌★TO ALL RE: CASTING  OUT & REBUKING THE DEVIL & BINDING SATAN: As far as Spiritual Warfare goes— We need to HUMBLE ourselves  thru God’s Grace to Grant us Repentance & Faith (2 Tim 2:23-26, Acts 5:30-31, Acts 11:17, 2Tim 1:18) & by His Grace fully SUBMIT our lives to Christ (James 4:6-10)— and then RESIST Satan (James 4:7) with the Full ARMOR OF GOD (Ephesians 6:10-20,).. “giving no place to the Devil” (Eph 4:27) .. and “holding captive every thought” (2 Cor 10:3-6) etc.

Satan is such a liar. We can say all the right words — even seemingly be getting results.. but unless we truly are submitted to Christ— we are being self-deceived.

★Matthew 7:21-23 (NASB) Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to ME, ‘LORD, LORD,’ will enter the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but he who does the WILL of MY FATHER who is in HEAVEN will enter. “MANY will say to ME on that DAY, ‘LORD, LORD, did we not PROPHESY in YOUR NAME, and in YOUR NAME CAST OUT DEMONS, and in YOUR NAME PERFORM MANY MIRACLES?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER KNEW you; DEPART from ME, you who PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”

❌ RE: CASTING  OUT & REBUKING THE DEVIL :In regards to “casting out demons” i.e. “rebuking the devil”— which was practiced by various people in the Gospels and the Book of Acts—such as: the disciples as part of Christ's instructions (Matthew 10); others using Christ's name (Mark 9:38); the children of the Pharisees (Luke 11:18-19); Paul (Acts 16); and certain exorcists (Acts 19:11-16).

It appears that the purpose of Jesus' disciples casting out demons (i.e. exorcisms) was to show Christ's dominion over the demons (Luke 10:17) and to verify that the disciples were acting in His name and by His authority. It also revealed their faith or lack of faith (Matthew 17:14-21). It was obvious that this act of casting out demons was important to the ministry of the disciples. However, it is unclear what part casting out demons actually played in the discipleship process.

Interestingly, there seems to be a shift in the latter part of the New Testament regarding demonic warfare. The teaching portions of the New Testament (Romans through Jude) refer to demonic activity, yet do not discuss the actions of casting them out, nor are believers exhorted to do so. We are told to “put on the armor” to stand against them (Ephesians 6:10-18). We are told to “resist the devil” (James 4:7), be careful of him (1 Peter 5:8), and not give him room in our lives (Ephesians 4:27). However, we are not told how to cast him or his demons out of others, or that we should even consider doing so.

The book of Ephesians gives clear instructions on how we are to have victory in our lives in the battle against the forces of evil. The FIRST step is placing our faith in Christ (2:8-9), which breaks the rule of “the prince of the power of the air” (2:2). We are then to choose, again by God's grace, to put off ungodly habits and to put on godly habits (Eph 4:17-24). This does not involve casting out demons, but rather renewing our minds (Eph 4:23). After several practical instructions on how to obey God as His children, we are reminded that there is a spiritual battle. It is fought with certain armor that allows us to stand against—not cast out—the trickery of the demonic world (Eph 6:10). We stand with truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer (Eph 6:10-18).

It appears that as the Word of God was completed, the Christians had more weapons with which to battle the spirit world than the early Christians did. The role of casting out demons was replaced, for the most part, with evangelism and discipleship through the Word of God. Since the methods of spiritual warfare in the New Testament do not involve casting out demons, it is difficult to determine instructions on how to do such a thing. If necessary at all, it seems that it is through exposing the individual to the truth of the Word of God and the name of Jesus Christ. .. also read 2 Cor 10:3-6 [GotQuestions].. ❤️ SO4J-TV

❌ ★BINDING & LOOSING IN THE BIBLE

★What does the Bible mean by binding and loosing? The concept of “binding and loosing” is taught in the Bible in Matthew 16:19: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” In this verse, Jesus is speaking directly to the apostle Peter and indirectly to the other apostles. Jesus' words meant that Peter would have the right to enter the kingdom himself, that he would have general authority symbolized by the possession of the keys, and that preaching the gospel would be the means of opening the kingdom of heaven to all believers and shutting it against unbelievers. The book of Acts shows us this process at work. By his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-40), Peter opened the door of the kingdom for the first time. The expressions “bind” and “loose” were common to Jewish legal phraseology meaning to declare something forbidden or to declare it allowed.

Peter and the other disciples were to continue Christ’s work on earth in preaching the gospel and declaring God’s will to men and they were armed with the same authority as He possessed. In Matthew 18:18, there is also a reference to the binding and loosing in the context of church discipline. The apostles do not usurp Christ’s lordship and authority over individual believers and their eternal destiny, but they do exercise the authority to discipline and, if necessary, excommunicate disobedient church members.

It’s not that the apostles were given the privilege of changing God’s mind, as if whatever they decided on earth would be duplicated in heaven; rather, they were encouraged that, as they moved forward in their apostolic duties, they would be fulfilling God’s plan in heaven. When the apostles “bound” something, or forbade it on earth, they were carrying out the will of God in the matter. When they “loosed” something, or allowed it on earth, they were likewise fulfilling God’s eternal plan. In both Matthew 16:19 and 18:18, the syntax of the Greek text makes the meaning clear: “Whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens” (Matthew 16:19, Young’s Literal Translation). Or, as the Amplified Bible puts it, “Whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.”

Jesus taught that the apostles had a special task on earth. Their words of authority, as recorded in the New Testament epistles, reflect God’s will for the church. When Paul declared an anathema on those who pervert the gospel, then we know that anathema was already declared in heaven (see Galatians 1:8–9).[gotquestions] ❤️ SO4J-TV

This is and will help me extensively from here on in. I don't want to be long-winded, there is no need to be, lets just say I have been around a lot of false doctrine/teachings and those who say they love God but don't.  The content has helped nail some  things down for me to which I need to pray upon at least.

Perhaps this was not the intention but I very suddenly howled with laughter when you made the certificate-from-Bill-Johnson comment.  Great video - thank you and God Bless you Jim and Justin.

The other night I had sleep paralasis and afterwards I feel some evil presence in my room heard footsteps and hear lot of noises I was so scared prayin under my blankets God please but I heard a voice that said get up I was shivering  just hear the voice again get up
So I get up and pray
after that I sleep peacefully
I believe it was God telling me to get up and take authority throwing the enemy out because He is with me and He fight for me
These two pastors will say it was not God voice and a normal Christian like me can't pray to get any unclean spirit out of house
I feel very discourage now I was having the spirit of fear for years drinking anxiety medication one I throw that medicine in the bin and said to God I trust Him I am not afraid
A prayer of righteous believer can do miracles James 5:16

Wow! Unbelievably powerful!! This brings so many things into clarity … all glory goes to God, not the exorcist not the method! It makes such perfect sense. I am always touched and blessed, dear Justin, by your blessing at the end of the videos. Thank you both so much.❤️

Authority of the Believer was essential reading at the Bible school I attended. I see it for what it is now, but at the time, what was preached from the pultpit and what was taught in Bible school was all truth. Why would it not be? Deception didn't even enter my head. I had every confidence, at the time, these men and women (which I now very clearly know and understand isn't what our Lord intended), because in my head why would anyone stand to lead people if they couldn't do it properly or didn't know how, or wasn't gifted to do so. I was very, very naive. Praise the Lord for ears that hear and eyes that see.

Side Note: I've just finished reading God Doesn't Whisper by Jim Osman. Man, it was a hard read because it totally dismantled everything I've ever been taught and believed about communicating with God. I would encourage anyone and everyone coming out of the movement(s) or if your in it but asking questions. Again, I express it isn't an easy read at all by any stretch of the imagination, but I very much encourage you to stick with it. You're Christian walk will benefit ans grow.

As a believer I remember when Derrick Prince was popular in casting out demons. Even though over the years I have believed many wrong doctrines, I was thankful I never bought into all the wrong teachings regarding demonic activity. Derrick was always attributing every fleshly sin to being a demon. So many current people are following the example of Derrick Prince and Bob Larson. People get caught up in the vicious cycle of attributing every weakness and fruit of the flesh to a demon.

AMEN To this very enlightening series. Thanks to both Jim & Justin 🙏 May our Lord Jesus Christ continue to Bless You 🎚

Thank you

Great message. Stay in the Word and pray. He Who is in me is greater than he who is in the world. Stay strong in the Word daily.

Pastor Osman's summarization of The Gospel around minute 27/28 was truly inspiring.

I'm glad Justin is  posting  teachings  again

If you're believing on a works salvation your not honouring the finished work of Calvary you can't work for a free gift any one that believes in salvation by works has no humility Jesus said your works are like filthy rags thanks again Justin you've taught me so much we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone

Im learning a lot from this teaching mind opening May God richly bless you!

Very good guys.

A link to the scripture I’ve been studying in direct conflict to your belief. Just to look at. Seek andye shall find, it’s as much for me as forvyou. I’m challenging my understanding as much as yours. Nothing but hope for us all to come together on the truth. That is my only hope

I have also followed Derek prince very very long time my brain is just been filled with so much false doctrine wow

Jim Osman is the 🐐 good stuff!!

In the old testament god made man in his own image.   In the new testament god himself became flesh and made his dwelling  in this world in the name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen

I enjoy watching your videos. I saw you on American Gospel as well. As you share the gospel I would greatly encourage you to research and start using our Heavenly Father's REAL HEBREW name and not the Greek/Latin one. Many blessings to you
