DARK SPIRITS ARE BEING SENT TO MY HOUSE. HOW DO I BREAK FREE FROM THIS? WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE ON THESE MEDICATIONS? WHY ARE THERE NEVER ANY WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESSES? Read Transcript


- Time for some email are you ready?

- All right, let's go for it.

- Okay, this first onecomes from Jean who says,

"I got involved with a guywho practiced witchcraft

before I knew better.

We are no longer together andhe's no longer practicing,

however, years later I'mbeing followed by the curses

and spells that were put on me.

Dark spirits are being sent to my house.

How do I break free from this?"

- All right, it's very simple,

in the name of Jesus we have authority.

Jesus said all authorityof heaven and earth

is given unto me, go ye therefore.

We have all authority,that means authority

over devils, over demons,over sickness, over death,

we got authority overall of it in his name.

Now what do you do, you say Satan,

in the name of Jesus, I bindyou in the forces of evil

and I command you to leave me alone.

Now they must obey the voice of the Lord

but you've gotta in yourheart believe it as well.

So if you believe, the Lordwill give you the power

and you will be free from these things

but one thing the Biblesays, don't give place

to the devil.

So if you continue to saywell the devil is after me,

or you give him credit for it.

He's looking for worshipanyway he can get it

and that becomes worshiping,

you don't wanna do that, all right.

- This is Angela who says,

"My doctor prescribed antidepressants

as life's situations arebecoming very difficult for me.

My question is aretaking these drugs a way

of saying I'm not trustingGod enough to help me?

What is the Christian perspectiveon these medications?"

- The Christian perspectivewould say the medication's

not gonna hurt you but I thinkfrom a practical standpoint,

if you've got depressionand you've got all kinds

of mental problems, let me suggest

that you have a so-called second brain

and it's located in your gut.

You have trillions, literallytrillions of little bacteria

that wanna do good things for you

and if you have badones, they will lead you

into doing bad things.

So, when they talk about probiotics,

I really think you needto adjust your diet

and stay off of sweets,stay off of starches,

stay off of that kind of thing

and go more into vegetables and fruit

and wholesome type of food.

And then take probioticsand then prebiotics

and see if that doesn't make a difference

and I would stop the antidepressants.

I'm not a doctor so if I'mgiving medical advice (laughs)

you've gotta say you don'twanna see your doctors

and doctors just love to, well,I'll give her a few Prozacs

and somebody said all yougotta do is just stay high

and you'll be fine.

No you don't wanna stay high.

- And the crazy thingabout some antidepressants,

not all of them but theyactually create suicidal thoughts

which seems counterproductive.

- They really do and not only suicidal,

they also bring about the rage and I think

many of these people areon these shooting sprees

are in the hold of these antidepressants

and I think they have anextremely dangerous blueprint,

so don't take them, if you canpossibly avoid it, all right.

- Okay, this is Barbara whosays, "What is your take

on people who seem tolie, even about things

there is no reason to lie about?

Why is it that most people are liars

and whatever happened tohonesty is the best policy?

It seems you can't reallybelieve anyone anymore," wow.

- Well, the Bible says the devil is a liar

and the father of lies andthere's something about

this business you'dalmost rather tell a lie

than tell the truthand they get caught up,

it's like a web of deceit and it's hard

to keep track of them.

If you're telling the truth,you know what happened

but if you've made a fantasy out of lies,

then how do you supportit, you've gotta think

of all the collateralhaving to do with that lie

and one lie leads toanother lie which leads

to a whole web of problems.

I think people need toget delivered from that.

There's a spirit of deceit andit's come from Satan himself.

He is the father of lies.

And whenever things arehonest, the Bible says,

whenever things are honest,think on those things,

you need to be honest and it's tough

but you need to look at yourselfand stop making excuses.

I'm fat but I've got a genetic problem.

Yeah, yeah, you eat toomuch, just talk about it,

I mean, be honest. (laughs)

And I lied about somethingand I did something wrong

and I'm ashamed of myself and I'm sorry,

I mean, we need to getthat feeling in our minds,

all right, what else.

- This is Lou who says, whyare there never any words

of knowledge about mental illnesses?

Will God not heal this?"

- First he does, the word of knowledge

is not something we're supposedto be cooking up ourselves,

it comes from the Lord andit comes from the Holy Spirit

and why he hasn't givenus anything having to do

with mental illness.

The trouble with mental illness

and it is a trouble andit's more complicated,

we had a Dr. Braidison onthe show not too long ago

who had tried to dosomething about Alzheimer's

and he had brought out two things

that people had to do but hecouldn't get it through the FDA

because they said we need one pill,

give us one pill, they can take one pill

that with this result and he said well,

it's a whole treatment of things

and they said, well we won't certify that

because there are a number of things.

People need exercise, for example

and they need a certain type of diet

and they need other thingsthat they need to do

and they need a socialenvironment that is affirming

and so forth and it's just not one thing.

So, that's the problemwith mental illness,

you have a word of knowledge, that people

just don't instantly get healed

because there's so many factorsinvolved in it, all right.
