Please pray for my daughter Carli she is 24 and on drugs on the streets she needs Salvation and deliverance and Please pray she will accept Christ and return home. Thank you so very much.

Friendly advice: Back when I used to experience heavy demonic oppression regularly (both before and right after I was saved) I would try to "command" the demons to leave in Jesus's name. It wouldn't seem to work much. Later, after being saved for maybe 3 months I instead cried out TO Jesus and said, "Lord, your servant is crying to you for help". IMMEDIATELY the demonic oppression went away. Immediately. I know exactly the heaviness and hatred Jeff was describing. When I was attacked it felt like I was on fire. But God is so good. He saved me and He answers me when I call. That was the last time I experienced oppression to that degree.

I felt that same hatred when Jesus opened my eyes to the truth about new age and the occult. I came home and burned all of my tarot cards and demons filled my yard. I then started to pray against them in Jesus name and it vanished…but I felt exactly what you described when I realized the truth and took action to turn from it all. Praise my Heavenly Father!!!! My Lord and Savior!!! 🙏🏼🤍🙌🏼

I have been oppressed by powerful demonic attacks for twenty+ years. This message is LIFE CHANGING for me. LIFE CHANGING. Satan is a liar! Praise and Glory to God, The Author and Finisher of our faith!

The elders once told me if your not running into the devil your running with it. The more I sought Jesus the more I experienced opposition. I thank God for that because it only validated the reality of spiritual war fare that strengthened my faith and will to fight for freedom through salvation and knowledge of Him. Hallelujah He is truly greater. Even in my sleep I'd get attacked and call out to Christ and I would be awoken immediately and this happened several times. Instantly. Amazing now all that I've seen all that I've heard all that I've read has binded my mind and heart together as one in unity with Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 10:4,5 I'm ALL IN no matter what. Let's Go. ✌💙🎬

2 Timothy 1:7 “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

in the name of Jesus, i pray for those that are not followers of Christ. Every knee shall bow and every tounge will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. To those who don't beleive, today is the day of salvation, no one is guaranteed tomorrow. I will continue to pray for your souls.

So blessed i stumbled upon Pastor Jeff 🙏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼✝️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I needed to hear this, I sometimes get scared when I get tormented by the devil, but then I remember that God is always in control and that the devil is already defeated.

Straight outta the text--this is why I love listening to this brother preach.

"You can have pure theology and go into the lake of fire with the devil and his angels." Wow...what a frightening truth! Actually, I am possessed. Fully possessed by the triune God Father-Son-Holy Spirit who is so much greater than Satan! The devil will try to oppress me with all sorts of evil schemes, but he's already defeated. So rejoicing to hear this good news again and again. Thank you pastor Jeff; may God bless your ministry and your life abundantly.

Thank you, Jeff! Thank you, Apologia Church! You're such a blessing to many.

I was a born again christian and would NEVER mess with the occult. But I started reading 'christian books' about demonic possession and exorcisms -- I think one of them was called Hostage To The Devil. I thought I was reading them as a believer so I was safe from the enemy. But then one night I woke up in my pitch black room (no light, because there were no windows in this particular room -- it was the center room in a railway apartment) -- I woke up in the middle of the night and even though I couldn't see anything in the pitch blackness I could 'see' a figure standing right next to bed looking down at me hating me. It's like I could 'see' the outline of this figure standing there with senses other than my eyes -- it was like a black silhouette of even darker blackness against the pitch darkness of the room. So hard to describe. But I knew it was there, real -- not a dream -- and I knew that being standing over me -- right beside my bed -- staring down at me -- I knew it was utterly evil -- demonic -- so I prayed the name of Jesus and it was gone and I got the light on. I knew I had invited that thing into my life -- I had opened the door -- by being TOO INTERESTED in fallen angels. So I stopped reading those books. It was terrifying. A pitch black silhouette against blackness of seething, utter absolute HATRED for me. The fallen angels hate, hate, HATE humans. That's why 'satan worshippers' are going to be in for a big surprise one day.

To all those that criticize this video , what are you doing here on this site, maybe you are searching for God but cannot find Him because you are numbed in the spirit by sin, your eyes an ears has been shut for the truth. I pray that God may have mercy on your soul.

What started out as an interest and curiosity into the occult became much more for me. I was pulled in, I was literally consumed by darkness. It slowly creeped into and destroyed my life. It caused severe mental health issues. By Gods grace and mercy he saved me and pulled me out, drew me to himself and protected me from it all. I’m a firm believer now in God then I ever was. Everything happens according to Gods will and that experience also. The occult is extremely dangerous and consuming it will destroy.

I used to go to bob Larsen training classes with my dad as a kid. It was terrifying and so disturbing. I love how in the story of the girl you prayed over that your prayer was NOT directed at the demon. You prayed TO JESUS for help, protection and deliverance. SUCH a big difference. Got our Father will come to rescue his children. He respond when we call out to him for help.

Please don't disable the comments I want you to know I really appreciate your videos and this is a great way to communicate with people that need your love and support. Here is what I really needed to hear: My name is written in heaven I have authority over the enemy because I'm known by God and LOVED by GOD. I always considered myself a Christian even though I was living in sin by partying and dating non-Christian men out of wedlock so I thought I could possibly have an evil spirit (my mom said I did) because of my bad temper but after watching this video it really opened my eyes and mind to the truth. Thank you. Love God.

That was the best teaching on this subject that I have ever heard. I just wanted to thank the minister for taking the time to explain all that he did and that I so appreciate it it it just rain a whole new light on the situation in my life so thank you so much may God bless you for doing his service

The kind of faith that people need to have is faith that obeys. Obedience of the faith, obedience that comes from faith. Mental faith that recognizes the reality of something but doesn't act as if that is the reality is not enough for salvation. Also on the opposite side, just going through the motions will not save anyone. I could live my whole life without sin, but without doing it by faith in Jesus I would still be guilty Saved by grace through faith, but make sure we know what type of faith (obedient faith)

Praise God there are still pastors who are unafraid to preach sound doctrine! May the Lord bless Pastor Durban.

We are covered in the blood of Jesus.

I love how you ground everything in the Scripture and teach by example how you examine the Word. I found myself thinking about how the demoniac cut himself and wishing you would speak to that and it was your next point. It reminds me that the very same, very faithful Holy Spirit is teaching us all BY THE WORD!! Thanks be to God for preserving His Word for us and making it so available for us. My prayer for the body is that we would be hiding it in our hearts, abiding in it, meditating on it, being transformed and renewed by it for His glory being conformed into His image!!!

This is an important video. I wish the church would talk more about the demonic. As a wife, mother, and child of God, I'm here to tell you that the spiritual realm, satan, and demonic possession are real. So real, in fact, that I just published a book about what led to MY being demonically possessed over a decade ago, and how Jesus not only saved me from my sin, but from the clutches of Satan- because ONLY Jesus saves, and whether you know it or not Jesus loves you! For that I will be eternally grateful! If you'd like to know more, the title of my book is SAVED. May the Lord bless and protect you always.

Pastor Jeff is on FIRE. Jesus has called this man. Thank you.

@JeffDurbin, when I met my first wife, she was the single's class teacher at my church. I thought she was so holy! We married and the next thing I knew I was having demonic dreams that felt so real, they were terrifying. A few years later, I started having what I've been told was repressed memory and I was remembering drowning in Mexico when I was 5 years old. She, being a licensed counselor and me now knowing she operated in a Jezebel spirit, used that memory to feed me lies of being sexually molested. The memory of drowning was very clear and vivid, but I had no memory of being molested. She fed this to me on a daily basis. It caused estrangement from my parents for almost 5 years. The torment became more severe. Long story short, she left me and divorced me and that's when the torment ceased. This woman is not a Christian. She is a wolf in sheep's clothing. She turned my children against me and to this day, I have no relationship with them. But I know that God will return them to me one day. Demonic oppression is very real! But the power and authority of Christ is even more real!

Thank you for this message! I never hear teaching on demon possession anymore. Praise God for your ministry.

I wish I still lived in Phoenix; only for the reason of being apart of this Church. I’m in Morganton, NC now and having trouble finding the right church. God, in his perfect sovereignty, has given me a great life by me having to move to NC, but still having a hard time finding the right Church home for my family and I. I pray that God leads us to a reformed, beautiful church like Apologia.

Love listening to this guy as I fall asleep

The Lord will take you far because of your realistic word view and your hunger for the true. Bless you in Jesus name!

Excellent and very informative. I wish I'd heard this years ago when I was a charismatic, watching all this stuff. Thanks Pastor Jeff. I finally broke away from charismania when I found Sermon Audio and listened to Biblical preachers exergeting the Word of God.

There's so moments i have to control myself here at work cause I want to jump up in joy and yell hallelujah!! Cause man Jeff durbin preaches the goodness of God so well!

Despite this channels... clickbaity titles, I am glad I found it. I've been listening to a number of videos, and through them my faith has been renewed. God bless y'all.

The last minute gave me chills .... actually the whole video did! Amen!!! Praise Jesus! Thank you for that whole message!! It was exactly what I needed to hear today!!

An extremely powerful Sermon is Preached here. I would like to clarify for those Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus that may be struggling with this old con from the enemy. Possession means Ownership. Brothers and Sisters in Christ I ask you, Who Owns You? So fear not the lies that the enemy would have you even contemplate for one second that you could be demon possessed. For you were brought for a price, that being The Blood that was spilt by Your Lord Thy God on the cross for YOU. Jesus has paid the ultimate price for your soul period. Therefore God OWNS you, the HOLY SPIRIT Possesses YOU. AMEN!! May God bless you all abundantly. Greetings from Western Australia.

In the 27 years since I became born again I have never heard a sermon so powerful as this in regards to teaching in what is in accordance with the truth. Glory to God.

Powerful message blessed by it! All glory to our LORD Jesus Christ.

Thankyou for your love for God we need to hear the truth.. Amen Thankyou Jesus for your deliverance and your love

So powerful message. Thank you Pastor Jeff for sharing. Glory to the Father, to the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Great sermon! So impactful for where the world is today❤️

Thank you brother for preaching the Word in clarity and context

Excellent Apologetics "THANKYOU JESUS"

Been doing my own studies on the demonic and occult and it indeed is something to be careful of. He did great at giving proper information, the only thing I disagree is when he says that Satan is already bound or that there not as many demons nowadays. This is a common for alot of Christians today. Make no mistake the devil is not enchanted nor are his demons, there are very much active and pulling string watching what you do. Be careful out the brethren and God bless.

I fell off my walk with God and ignored him. I was possessed with demons again and one night they took control. I went to church for prayer and the demon showed itself. I realized my life has resorted back to how it was being possessed by demons and being tormented everyday. I thought it was normal because I fell off my walk for too long and I wasnt thinking about God at all until it got worse and a table flew across my apartment and then months later it over took me. And i had to go back to god i cant live like this anymore. When I had God I was so full of joy and constantly felt his presence.

I relate very much to the direct and bold nature of your ministry....I too believe we are to be confronting all these things...not coyness...thrive!

A believer can not be possesed, however believers can be demonized; there is a difference between posession which shows ownership & demonize which is to harass....

AMEN. VERY HELPFUL SERMON. GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR JEFF, AND FAMILY GREATLY.

God bless Jeff

I am confused Jeff! I am a Christian and have been for 20 years or so, I am Holy Spirit filled. I have been called to evangelism. I have a brother in Christ who through me the Lord has saved, he gave his life to Christ. With the direction of the holy spirit after 4-5 weeks of ministering to him of life style and habits, a demon manifested in him and made him walk up and down furiously, he got Jaw lock also. we were staying in a hotel at the time and i got him back to my room, and told him to get on his knees and i layed my hand on him. I began to pray in English i sensed and my friend felt and heard laughter coming from his chest. Straight away the Holy Spirit told me to pray in tongues so i did, that very second the laughter was silenced. After 2-3 mins of praying in tongues my friend fell flat on his face. after 30 seconds or so he rose up on to his bottom and dragged himself to sit with his back to the wall. He was frozen in fear i could see it in his eyes, I told him to call out to the Lord Jesus in his mind and he came round. The Holy Spirit had told me during this that it was ancestral demon of witchcraft, my friend had already told me his mum was a witch and his family had been for many generations. So this made perfect sense. I knew at the time that this wasn't all of it, and my friend said the same thing without me saying anything. I am seeking help from a elder in my church to cast the rest out which I believe to be a generational curse and my friend was unloved and abused as a child so I believe there is some evil spirit or spirits left. I am not lying with this statement and Christ knows this. if Christians can't have demons tell me how this is? also I have spiritual site and can tell the truth in 99 percent of situations, I have also seen a demon turn a mans eyes white as it manifested. explain please or some1 answer please i am not having a pop, I am simply confused now?

I loved his opening prayer.

Jeff has what one would call " Epic Beard."

no mature Christians are on KZfaq comments bickering. be blessed

Wonderful preaching, I feel blessed by His Word given through your ministry.

One hour mark! praise God

Why is it that in my "dreams" demons won't flee in Christ name? I am a firm believer with a past and a horrible near death experience this is as you might think very disturbing for me

I think i understand now, someone with demons can be come a Christian and still have there demons and need them casting out. because they don't just leave the second you give your life to The Lord, but once your a Christian you cannot have any demons enter you

Wow! What a sermon! Praise God!

Amen, Awesome Sermon, Praise JESUS!! HALLELUJAH

This guy is awesome, he hits the head on the nail.

It’s always been my understanding that Demons and fallen angels are different. Having different word designations and whatnot

Does it concern you that the ads on your video advertise things that are demonic?

As a Christian I don't believe that we can be possessed by a demon but some certainly are oppressed by them.

We win in the end!

Topic of demonic possession begins at 38:09 for those who want to skip.

Apologia Studios - you may want to do what AOM ministries does disable comments for your videos. Just a thought. Excellent handling of the Word of the Lord. God's blessing on you brother. In Jesus name.

That story about the girl, I think it’s great for obvious reasons but also because the demons lost their host and were humiliated. They lost that skirmish in the most real sense because a Christian prayed and God was pleased to answer the request immediately.

Pastor jeff you are a phenomenal teacher,thank you

So powerful Jeff, thank you and may God Bless you! Regarding demons, I do not believe they are fallen angels or The Watchers. My understanding of Scripture is demons are the disembodied spirits of the Rephaim or Nephilim that were left of the earth after the flood. Fallen angels saw that the daughters of man were pleasing to the eye and took them as wives, procreated and birthed hybrid's (Nephilim). Genesis 6: 1-4 KJV 1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

When I watch your videos, they are interrupted by way more ads than any other videos I watch. Some of them are even for mediums and people talking about they’re great spirit guides. I don’t know how much control The channel owner has over this, but I thought I would post it just in case.

thank you for the massage it was an eye opener to have knowledge about demons and once again the preaching is excellent I thank God for you to have online I managed to download it.

Great teaching of the Holy word of God, the Bible.

I'm not sure where I stand on demons possessing Christians...they can definitely afflict or harass us, just like Paul when he received that thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan sent to torment him but full-blown possession is different. I think it's feasible (and the Catholic priests who practice the rite of exorcism would probably agree) that a Christian can open gateways, either willingly or through ignorance, and this can lead to possession but it's incredibly rare.

Good stuff

2 cases? Man, it's very hard to find some that are free from demons. But one thing is to have demons INSIDE and others to have demons outside - telling you what to do, how to feel, what to say, etc..

Jeff you are awesome keep up the good work. Brother in Christ!

I’ve been thinking about this often

How do you know it was highly alcoholic wine? I've tasted some very, yummy grape juice before. I'm salivating now just thinking about it. Awesome teaching brother. I was blessed. May God continue to bless you in Jesus name.

Fantastic teaching. Ty. God bless you Jeff

I have non-believing friends,drug addict friends, and friends who are secular. I dont think God wants me to abandon my attempt to Witness, show the love of God in my life through understanding,humility and the word. So the "unequally yoked" verse is on a fine,thin line. But still must be carefully applied once It appears that i may be unsuccessful. ALways praying for everyone though.

Thank you.

so sweat flowers..I wish I had that shirt as a gift for my heart:)

Please pray for me

In 2016 (I was born 1990) I heard the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for the first time. I believed and accepted Jesus Christ as my saviour. Something changed. I changed. My life changed. I did however burn out, because I started to work at a school, and I have 0 education. It became too much with everything. Teaching, preaching, planning, being a psychologist and dad, kind of. So I fell. I started willfully sinning, not to the extent of what I did before I accepted Jesus Christ, still I fell. Fast forward a couple of years, life had changed. I was still sinning, I was still doing the wrong things. I was still believing, not in a way where it showed, though, like in having a prayer life or worshipping in spirit and truth. Something then happened; first I was so brutally attacked by the powers of hell, then some time after, the Holy Spirit fell over me. I got radically changed. I repented thourougly and started to change what I could change. Sin, my relationship with food, thoughts about the past and things that I truly can change for the better. Im now at a place where Im free from sin, in the sense that Im not bound to anything that destroys me (maybe I spend too much time with the phone). Heres the thing: before 2016 I was using alot of drugs. I spent alot of time in the spirit realm, illegally, by using namely psilocybin and cannabis. Now when Im at this stage in life, I feel like something is wrong, because of that. I dont know how to describe it properly. I feel free and I believe that God has forgiven me, that God has brought me back to Him, because of my faith in Jesus Christ. Still, things are happening to me, mainly in my body. Some days after the Holy Spirit fell, my body moved without me doing anything, like it was waving back and forth. I also have these spasms in my body. It feels like my muscles contracts themselves. I, at times, get angry very quickly, even though I feel at peace - kind of. I recently caught a cold from an instance where I had very dark thoughts inside me. Like it affected me spiritually first, then it made my body sick. I think that I might have demons from my childhood and from my heavy drug abuse; by illegally being in the spirit realm. Now I heard Jeff saying that christians (born again disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ) cant be possessed by demons. Could the fact that I heard the gospel at the age of 26, paired with my background in illegal activities in the spirit realm, mean that I have demons, from the time before I was in the faith, and that I now need deliverance?

Awesome message Pastor Jeff thank you brother.

Wow such powerful teachings

Shabbat shalom

Love your informative sermons brother.

Wow God is amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Based on the pastor’s listing of criteria for demonic possession coupled with my experiences in life, I believe I was possessed with something evil.

Best part that gave me chills : @51:57-52:13. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awesome sermon!

Believers can’t be demon possessed but a believer can be attacked by evil spirits.

Excellent!

What a great pastor ☺️

I almost feel there is symbology between God creating a home for Adam and Eve and Jesus first miracle. Like marriage between a man and women is so important to God as well, so much so he started his first miracle with it

Just fyi, KZfaq has flooded this video with ads, and in my case, though am at home on my fully functioning WiFi, the second ad of each (of many) ad breaks freezes up. Is this a coincidence? I think not. I am now at 38 mins in, I will get through this, even if I have to keep closing the video and reopening.

Praise God

Thank you Lord God in the name of Jesus Christ for bro. Jeff Durbin !

Thank you so much for this message, I really needed to hear it!
