1John 1v7 KJV:But if we walk in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Matt 26 v 28 KJV:For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins .

made2fit: Really? So this too is unscriptural?

Very very unscriptural.
As you can see above, the blood was exclusively for remission of sin. It was the sacrifice accepted by God. It has no power to protect, cast out demons, etc as folks use it to pray today. The only powerful 'tools' given to us by God to fight the good fight of faith and live victoriously, are THE NAME OF JESUS AND THE WORD. the blood of Jesus prayer is mistook from
Rev 12 v 11KJV:And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

And the "when I see the blood, I will pass over u".....the story of the israelite in Egypt
Folk over time erroneously interpreted the above verses, (would explain further if u want). There is no single place in the Bible you find folks casting out demons with the blood of Jesus or protecting themselves or family with the blood of Jesus or where they adviced us to use the blood for anything, except that it cleanses us from ALL sin.

When Jesus resurrected, he didn't mention his blood, he Just said in luke 24v40 that a ghost does not have flesh and bone...he didnt mention blood, that is why we say the new creation man does not live of blood, for the Holy Spirit through John declared in John 1v12 and 13 that as many as received Jesus to them gave he power to be called the sons of God, [size=16pt] who were born not of blood [/size] , nor the will of man, nor the will of the flesh, but the will of God.The new creation does not live from blood, he is powered by the HolyGhost, that's why we say Chritians should/cannot not be sick....hallelujah

His Wonderful Name · Friday, October 25th ·

Pastor Chris

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you… (Matthew 28:18-20).


If you’re born again, the Name of Jesus has been named upon you. That Name is the greatest Name ever revealed to man, for it’s the Name by which God created all things. God vested all authority in the wonderful and matchless Name of Jesus Christ.

The Word declares that Jesus delegated His authority to us, and commissioned us to make disciples of all nations, in His Name. He said, "…baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." He used the singular noun "name," showing us that the Name of the Father, Son, and of the Holy Spirit is Jesus. When you study the Book of Acts, you’d observe that in carrying out the instructions of the Master, the Apostles baptized in the Name of Jesus (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5, 22:16). They understood Jesus’ statement without any ambiguity. They knew that the Name "Jesus" is the Name of the Godhead! When you say "In the Name of Jesus," you’re referring to the Deity.

Colossians 1:19 says, "For it pleased the Father that in him (Jesus) should all fulness dwell." The fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Jesus—the Name above every name. Get excited about the Name of Jesus! Philippians 2:10 says "…at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth." Everything and every being that exists in heaven, earth, or under the earth are subject to Jesus.

Prayer
  Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the authority to function in the Name of Jesus! I live by the power of that Name today, in dominion, victory, and righteousness. I experience peace, progress, increase, success, and prosperity always, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Sorry hater, we can't hear you from the top of the table

By ourselves we do not have the power to win the

battle over sin and evil. Lucifer was someone who

2/3rd of the angelic host followed him in his

rebellion. He should be respected.

1. The bible said we have innumerable company of angels..Heb 12v22. How did you get 2/3 of innumerable? You mean 1/3 are loyal ones till now?



Pls edify me



2. Lucifer should be respected? The Bible lets us know that as Christians, we are partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Does the God head respect the devil? I know Arch Angel Micheal did that, that was because Micheal knew about their hierarchy, but bro, we are hid in Christ, we are same as Christ in this world 1John 4v17. Question, did Christ respect Lucifer? If yes, give me scriptures.
When Jesus said cast out...that word aint for anybody you wanna respect




Colossians 2:15

Amplified Bible

(AMP)

15 [God] disarmed the principalities and powers

that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over

them in Him and in it [the cross].





I love the way message translation puts it




He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.





Respecting lucifer is misleading. It could mean revere lucifer which could translate to fear lucifer. But I'm in no way saying we should insult him or castigate him, all I'm saying is he doesn't matter. No doubt he has powers, but then respecting it? Do you respect powers of a Js1 boy when you are in ss3, certainly not, you overule his anytime you want. But when he goes about showing off his authority to others who decended to his level or below his level, that don't mean you in SS3 respects him



If you say a christian can be oppressed by demons, then surely that 'Christian' does not know his place in Christ. He doesn't know the power and authority he wields in Christ. In fact,



Acts 10v38


New International Version


how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy

Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good

and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.



New Living Translation

And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went

around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.




Can a Christian then be under the power of the devil? Well, either the 'christian' gave authority to d devil or the 'Christian' aint really a Christian.

In Him, You’re Safe! · Thursday, October 24th ·

Pastor Anita

He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions (Daniel 6:27).


The Lord is a deliverer and rescuer; He delivers the righteous from trouble and rescues him from destruction. Psalm 59:16 says, "But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble." He’s a safe place. If you’re born again, you’re in Him; your life is hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Christ is your security, your defense, and your fortress. No wonder He charged us so many times in the Word to "fear not."

It makes no difference who or what may come out against you; the Lord says "Fear not." Don’t be terrified by the adversary or dismayed by their description. Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). You’re not alone. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:22, "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels." You’re surrounded by angels, who according to the Bible, have been given charge over you, to keep you, that is, protect you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11).

1 John 4:4 says, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." You’ve already overcome the adversary. Don’t give attention to information that makes the adversary appear powerful. That’s how fear builds up and takes over. Instead, fortify your spirit with the Word of faith. Listen to faith-filled words again and again, until it becomes impossible for you to think or talk fear.

Receive God’s Word to you today; declare with boldness that Christ is your refuge and strength! In Him you live, move, and have your being; therefore no evil can befall you! Psalm 91:7 says, "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." You dwell in Him; therefore, you’re divinely protected and preserved from trouble, defeat, failure and death. "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day" (Psalm 91:5).

Confession  

I proclaim my victory and my glory in Christ Jesus. I walk in His wisdom, and in the dominion of the Spirit today; greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. I’m more than a conqueror.

All join! ...I no mind if na tomorrow sef

Are you saying the Devil has strength against a Christian?


But are we suppose to acknowledge demons and 'respect the Devil's strength'?

I know they exist, but I don't acknowledge them...they don't matter. That's my mindset. I'm not ignorant of their wiles and antics and stratagems.

And don't you think you over stretched!? Most of what you wrote wasn't implied on this thread. Eg over eating, and dreams used as a warning to stop gluttony?

I have to disagree with this statement
"Demons can possess individuals and oppress Christians."
There is no such thing as a good or bad Christian. If you are a Christian fine, if you are not you are not. How can a Christian filled with the HolySpirit be oppressed by a demon?

Can flies perch on a hot stove? If you said they tempt I'd agree...but oppress is too heavy na

But like you said
" Without a constant fellowship with the WORD and
the Spirit, a christian is not immune to these
controlling forces."

If I'm in constant fellowship with the Word and the spirit, can I be oppressed by demons?

So also is the issue of intimate immorality.I know of
Christians who sees having sex in dreams as normal
but later this tend to play out in the physical because
they never dealt with the issue after they dreamt it
by praying about it.

Serial Sexx in dreams is not normal, but assuming someone had a wishful thought and later dreamt of such, should we tag it as a demonic attack?

Wait first..the way you use Christians above is really baffling! I mean shey na person wen carry Holyspirit and the Word you dey talk about abi na person wen just be born again(or not sef) and continues living like he's not of Christ or babes in Christ?

Joagbaje: Gombs there are some demonic eating in the dream. And there are demonic eating physically .

No doubt...but should a Christian be subjected to thoughts that eating in his dreams are actually demonic? I thought Jesus said we can take any deadly thing and it shall not hurt us?

As for ur latter sentence, I would need elaboration sir

Very true....what we feed our minds reflect in our dream at most times.....

No, UPPER WEEK

Hello alfa.

Texanomaly...stop liking pple here

And as for you all that is loving ishilove....MODs!!!! Ban them.

That includes all those she's loving.

Alfa Seltzer: Runner

I didn't

idnoble135: No, he/she should not.
I think you do not understand my post. I'd give you an example of what i meant by that post.
During my secondary school days, I was close to the school management, particularly the proprietor. This was so due to a number of factors.
However, one morning before I awoke from sleep for my devotion, I had a dream. The dream was blurry but I knew it was not a good one. As soon as I woke up, I felt a stirring in my spirit to pray in tongues. I prayed for sometime in tongues when divine knowledge of an incident that was to happen flowed in.
I knew it was of God. As soon as I got to school, I (with one brother who went with me) notified the proprietor that something unpleasant was about to happen. I was heavily talked down. I felt bad.
But you see, barely a week after that, what I told the proprietor about began to happen. He was shocked, that was the first time in his life that he would witness such. I think it's safe to be quiet about what really happened.
But my point is this, not all dreams are demonic, some are simply because people ate late or as a result of seriously thinking about an event. But sometimes it could be of God. And that's why I said there that, some dreams could come with a divine leading for christians to pray.
Do you now get my post?

Yeah sure...very true. God still direct via dreams

The HolySpirit guides us through such

Alfa Seltzer: everybody knows there is no such person as god.

Hello Alfa

ideecarbasa: Pls ooo when are we expecting the next TS invite.This month is already cming to an END.

AbjTs
Invites should roll in upper week

Emusan: Simple answer simply because they couldn't eat what they ate in real life. Is that OK?

Not everyone will subscribe the spirit of God is saying.

No ...it's not ok


Explain plz

[quote author=rapture_ready]I don't really know. But I think it is because we hear of these things all the time. And maybe we've had a similar bad experience before we were born again.[/quote]That's why the bible said be ye transformed BY THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND

You know, like my cousin(not born again) once had a dream where a man shot him in 3 places with a gun(probably not kalashin or he 4 jus die strait ). In the dream another man met him and calmed him down while he was crying and removed the first two bullets, but before he could get to the third one, the guy just go wake up!

For several days afterward the guy suffered some seriously excruciating pain IN THAT EXACT SPOT where the third dream bullet entered.

Methinks the coincidence jus too much.

He not in Christ...I'm not surprised

I think it is just us trying to be cautious. On one hand, it may just be our dumb, hungry imagination. But since we know these things sometimes occur, we release Holy Ghost fire to roast some evil butt, just in case.

Hmmmm...God go help us

You're quite right! So I guess if a person is truly born again, and soaked himself in the blood of Jesus before hitting the snooze button, he probably shouldn't be to bothered. Some people prefer to err on the side of caution though.

Surely

That's probably a good way to avoid obesity!

You have a wonderful sense of humour

idnoble135: Yea, it is possible.
But I believe it can only happen when one ignores the prompting of the Holy Ghost to pray.
The exact point I'm trying to make is, all dreams are not demonic, but some could actually be from God. So it depends on the divine leading one gets.

Should a Christian be subjected to whatever he dreamt of, which is not in line with scriptures?

Candour: Christians don't need deliverance from demonic forces because Christ already won victory over them 2000 years ago. Rather Christians need deliverance from traditions and superstitious beliefs. This particular case of eating in dreams with calamities following has no basis in the bible but is well entrenched in African superstition. Atimes we make our Christianity look like a modern version of Vodun religion and our churches as glorified witchdoctor premises with all manner of incantations in the name of prayer.

To a fearful Christian who doesn't know the full ramifications of the cross @ calvary, everything he/she sees must have imprint of Satan, demons or devourer. In this way they grovel in silent fear and awe of the powers of darkness.

I was in that circle for over 10 years and I know what damage it did to my psyche. I've been detoxifying and purging myself of the poisonous fears I imbibed all those years ever since through intensive study of the word of God and I can tell you there's nothing like being free of all those debilitating fears.

Some folks insist they get messages through dreams, I won't argue with them but dreams come as a result of multitude of business(Eccl 5:3). Your daily activities go a long way to dictate what kind of dreams you have so let's not get too paranoid about what we dream about. If you don't like the dream, cancel it and get going. Don't allow it mess up your mind.

We are conquerors already through Christ. Let's walk in the reality of this victory.

ARareGem: Lol.

Gombs, but some dreams are spiritual, not just the workings of our mind or paranoi. Christians can be hurt through their dreams, or do you disagree?

Yeah, Spiritual....but if such are not in line with the Bible, disregard it.

I disagree that Christian can be hurt through their dreams...you latter sentence undermines ALL Christ did
