Where? Are you?
0:21
Tonight, empty streets belong. Something in the air, can't
0:34
quite let it go. The feeling that you're there.
0:46
Every single night I look up high, trying to catch a sign
0:51
that you're watching over me, but I just can't see.
0:56
Where Are you tonight when I need you most?
1:09
Where are you to die? Are you close?
1:19
Are you close? Hands reach to the sky.
1:33
Stars fall like your tears. Time keeps passing by.
1:46
Still I wait right here. Every breath I take, every
1:54
prayer I make, Hoping you'll appear in this world of mine.
2:00
Just give me a sign. Where are you tonight?
2:10
When I need you most. Where are you tonight?
2:18
Are you growing up? Sometimes I feel your.
2:30
Friends All right, Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brett
2:35
Keane from GOD TV Radio. I hope you're all having a
2:38
wonderful day. I hope you're all blessed.
2:42
If you enjoyed that song at the very beginning, you can actually
2:45
listen to my music for absolutely free by going to the
2:48
front of my YouTube channel and listening to the first playlist
2:53
on the front of it. And it's got all 21 songs of
2:56
mine off of my first album that you can listen to.
3:00
And that track is on there, so enjoy.
3:05
OK so when you guys get a chance before I get into this topic I
3:12
want to let you know that last night I did a live show where
3:15
there was a debate with brother Maverick as well as an atheist
3:18
called Think where they argued over communism, socialism versus
3:24
capitalism. Damn fine video.
3:27
I think you would all enjoy it if you want to sit down and
3:30
check that out. Also I just did a video a moment
3:34
ago to another Christian who is debating and arguing of Jesus as
3:39
God or the son of God or is he divine?
3:42
These kind of questions and trying to get him into my live
3:46
shows so I can talk to him because I dig him.
3:48
I think he's an interesting person.
3:51
Well, who we have here on the screen is a young lady by the
3:57
name of Teach Yahweh. Also, Ganesha I believe is how
4:04
her name is pronounced. When I first met her over at
4:07
Mitch's Channel for the first time, I thought her name was
4:11
Ganesha. Like in the elephant deity with
4:14
all the arms. I think that's what Ganesha was.
4:18
Or is that the destroyer? I can't keep track of all these
4:23
other different religions. I've already got my own and it's
4:25
complicated enough. So she ended up doing a live
4:30
show, which I would have enjoyed participating in, but I didn't
4:33
get an invite or anything like that.
4:35
And she proceeded to make another live show right after
4:38
that, which I didn't get any invite to which I would have
4:41
enjoyed that topic as well. But she says that she wants to
4:45
do a show with me. We'll see how that goes.
4:51
I'm sure that it'd be very interesting if it actually is
4:54
fruitful and happens. Let's see what we got.
4:59
Can a Christian be demon possessed?
5:03
Now this is interesting. There's two types of
5:07
interactions that demons have in the Bible with people, humans,
5:12
and this is oppression as well as demonic possession.
5:17
She may not know this, but I live in Missouri, 17 miles South
5:22
of Saint Louis, and many years back we had an incident where a
5:27
little boy had allegedly become demonically possessed.
5:31
I never met this kid, but he supposedly became demonically
5:36
possessed and it was so bad that neighbors and witnesses claimed
5:40
the supernatural events were going on in levitation strains,
5:44
vomiting, physical ailments. The kid got really ugly looking
5:49
like he was going through some kind of transformation.
5:54
The furniture was moving. These are the claims.
5:57
I didn't observe any of this, but this is what was claimed.
6:01
And it was so popular and so famous of a story that a book
6:06
was written about it and then a movie.
6:09
But the movie replaced the little boy with a little girl
6:14
played by Linda Blair, and it became one of the most
6:18
phenomenal classic movies of the century called The Exorcist.
6:23
That probably doesn't matter if you watch it in 2025 or you
6:27
watched it back in the old days whenever it first was made.
6:31
It's one of those type of films that is extremely creepy.
6:36
I don't care how old you are, if you've never watched that movie
6:40
and you watch it, it will make you probably urinate your pants.
6:44
And it's, it's scary. It's it is horrific.
6:50
And then there was another story.
6:54
There's stories about people who, especially in Satanism, who
7:00
claim to have been possessed. Quite a few serial killers
7:06
blamed Satan for why it was they committed their atrocities.
7:11
But that wouldn't just be with Satan.
7:14
There are also people out there who claim that God commanded
7:18
them to do horrible things and then they went out and did it.
7:21
So you can't always blame the devil.
7:24
I suppose sometimes humans need to take accountability and
7:27
responsibility for it. When I was watching her live
7:30
show, I was thinking a lot about Job.
7:34
He wasn't demonically possessed, not at all, but he was
7:38
definitely fell under the oppression.
7:42
And it's a very unusual story because the Bible tells us right
7:46
in the beginning chapter of the story of Job, that Job was
7:49
upright with God. It means that he, God was
7:52
pleased with him. He was doing everything he
7:55
needed to do. But the devil approached God and
8:00
God actually mentioned initiated that Satan after Satan boasted
8:06
about going to and fro from the earth looking for people to
8:10
devour and causing chaos and destruction.
8:13
You know what demons do? God initiated.
8:16
Well, what about my servant Job? And Satan said, Oh yeah, right.
8:22
You're protecting the guy, so that's pointless.
8:25
That's a waste of our time. And God said, well, you know,
8:30
you can do whatever you like with him.
8:33
Just don't kill the guy. As far as I'm concerned, whether
8:37
it's demonic possession or oppression, it's pretty
8:41
horrible. Oppression basically means that
8:44
demons are getting you externally.
8:47
Obviously if they're damaging you externally, they're also
8:50
going to cause you emotional problems, spiritual issues, and
8:55
trauma all at the same time, especially if God isn't
8:59
protecting you in that matter. Now, if you think about this, if
9:04
God is willing to allow Satan access to some human beings,
9:10
then I don't see why it wouldn't be logical to state that there's
9:14
a possibility that if one does believe in demonic possession,
9:20
why God wouldn't allow access. I mean, take Job for example.
9:24
He was upright with God. He was doing everything right
9:28
according to the book, and still Satan was allowed to kick him
9:33
around and wipe out his, some of his loved ones, take out, you
9:39
know, the animals and cause sicknesses, boils and all kinds
9:43
of other cute things. So technically, technically it
9:48
could be argued that if God gave the authority, sure.
9:53
But then on the other hand, there are verses where it says
9:55
that no weapon devised against you by the devil and his demons
10:00
can be used. But that really depends on the
10:03
heart of the Christian, doesn't it?
10:06
Let's say the devil does what he normally does and he gets a
10:09
Christian while they're vulnerable.
10:11
Christian may have just lost a loved. 1A Christian may have
10:16
been fired from their job and they're wondering how they're
10:19
going to pay their bills. The Christians going through
10:21
hell, maybe they got betrayed or their wife or husband cheated on
10:25
them and stuff. Even though they claim to be
10:28
Christians themselves. There's a number of things that
10:32
can really tear down the human psyche very quickly and ones one
10:39
single thing can happen and the world around a Christian can
10:43
fall apart. Of course, it feels good to
10:47
believe that God is there with us always and that God loves us.
10:52
But let's face it, we live in a world that is controlled by the
10:55
devil. In fact, the Bible even says the
10:58
devil is the God of this world. That means he has full access to
11:02
us. Now I know that's not what you
11:06
were trying to argue in your video.
11:08
I know that you were basically saying, oh, he can't get
11:11
Christians. He's, he can't do it, but
11:14
Satan's a, a sneaky bastard. He's a, he's an entity that's
11:19
been around since the beginning. He's much more intelligent in
11:25
ways, especially when it comes to understanding some of the
11:29
concepts of God. He knows about our selfishness.
11:33
He knows about our greed. He knows that we can be tempted
11:38
into things. He knows that if he says things
11:41
that are real slick, like he did in the in paradise whenever he
11:45
brought death and corruption in the world by convincing Adam and
11:48
Eve to make terrible choices. If he could do that with Adam
11:52
and Eve, two people who walked with God and who were damn near
11:57
perfect, you might want to be open minded to the idea that
12:03
he's a entity that one shouldn't underestimate under any
12:07
circumstances. I have read the book Art of War
12:14
and you never underestimate your enemy.
12:16
No matter how small or tiny or insignificant or irrelevant, no
12:20
matter how confident you are, you must be careful.
12:25
Always. Never take anyone for granted.
12:31
I'm just saying this isn't some kind of admiration or respect or
12:35
any of that. But in a way, when dealing with
12:38
an enemy, especially one that wants to kill you and destroy
12:41
you and devour your soul, you better have some amount of
12:45
respect. And I'm not saying you don't.
12:48
But he's he's not an enemy that that you want to turn your back
12:53
on or or get arrogant with humility is definitely required
12:58
when dealing with forces of darkness in such a way.
13:03
So what is the grok artificial intelligence say about this I
13:09
was mentioning earlier besides the exorcist Emily Rose.
13:13
Some people think that it was an exaggerated story.
13:16
Some people believe that this young woman was turned and to
13:21
she was demon possessed by many demons.
13:24
She even claimed that Legion was inside of her.
13:29
This was a written about and everything.
13:32
It's very possible that both the Exorcism Exorcist as well as
13:36
Emily Rose had a lot of exaggerated nonsense in order to
13:41
make the movies more interesting than what they actually were.
13:43
But just in case, right? Just in case.
13:48
And of course there's been other accounts and other stories and
13:54
all that kind of stuff. And we know that the in the
13:57
Bible, the devil attempted to tempt Jesus Christ, actually
14:03
tried to get him to destroy himself by jumping off of a,
14:06
what was it a Cliff? I believe It's been a while
14:11
since I looked into that specific verse.
14:14
You can correct me if you like. So here's what Grok Artificial
14:18
Intelligence says about it. I like to use it in order to
14:21
find me verses very quickly. I got to apologize.
14:25
I didn't move the screen over, so you're only going to be able
14:27
to read some of it. If you'd like a link directly to
14:30
this, I'll give it to you. But it says the question of
14:33
whether Christians can be possessed by demons as debated
14:36
topic within Christian theology, with different denominations and
14:41
scholars offering varying perspectives based upon biblical
14:45
interpretation and tradition. Here's a concise overview
14:50
against possession. Many Christians, particularly
14:53
from the evangelical and Protestant traditions, argue
14:57
that a true Christian cannot be possessed by a demon.
15:00
This view is based on passages like First John 4/4.
15:04
Greater is he that is in you, that he that is in the world.
15:08
And 2nd Corinthians 6/14/16 which suggests that the Holy
15:12
Spirit indwells believers, making it impossible for demons
15:16
to take control. The idea is that the presence of
15:19
the Holy Spirit prevents demonic possession, as light cannot
15:22
coexist with darkness. However, even though the AI says
15:27
this, if there's any truth to the exorcist there Emily Rose.
15:31
Emily Rose came from a religious background.
15:35
She was a young woman who believed in God, and she was,
15:39
according to people who knew her, they said that she was a
15:43
kind, gentle spirit and believed heavily in God.
15:49
And as far as that young girl, I think her mother was a Catholic.
15:53
I know some Christians will say, well, Catholics aren't real
15:56
Christians or whatever like that.
15:58
That's up to you guys how you want to play that game and all
16:03
that. I'm not going down that rabbit
16:04
hole. But the little girl was raised
16:09
up with Catholic or the boy was raised up in Catholicism.
16:13
In fact, according to the true story and events, the boy,
16:17
whenever he became possessed, unlike the movie, was taking to
16:22
a Catholic sanctuary where priests prayed over him day and
16:26
night and all that. And went through some pretty
16:30
powerful issues as far as possession.
16:34
Some theologians, particularly from the Catholic and
16:38
Charismatic traditions, believe Christians can be possessed,
16:42
though it's considered rare. They argue that while the Holy
16:45
Spirit dwells in the believer spirit, the soul, mind, will,
16:50
emotions or body could still be vulnerable to demonic influence
16:54
or possession, especially if Christian engages in sin, occult
16:58
practices or renounces their faith.
17:02
Unfortunately, that's a very common thing.
17:07
There are Christians that renounce their faith.
17:10
There are Christians that get angry and they get mad at God
17:12
because something terrible's happened in their life and they
17:16
might have a moment where they open up the gates.
17:18
It only takes a moment to, you know, try to take God's power
17:24
away and insult him or attack him and all that because you're
17:27
under a lot of anger or stress and all that.
17:30
So who knows? This view often draws on
17:35
anecdotal accounts of exorcisms involving believers and passages
17:39
like Ephesians 612, which describes spiritual warfare.
17:45
Nuanced perspective Oppression versus possession Many scholars
17:50
distinguish between possession, total control by a demon and
17:54
oppression or influence external harassment and temptation.
17:58
Most agree that Christians can face demonic oppression,
18:02
temptation spiritual attacks as seen in stories like Job or
18:06
Jesus's temptation, Matthew 4111.
18:10
However, full possession, where a demon controls a person's
18:13
will, is often seen as incompatible with the indwelling
18:17
of the Holy Spirit. Catholic theology, for instance,
18:21
allows for the possibility of possession in rare cases, but
18:24
emphasizes that it requires a formal exorcism by trained
18:29
clergy. In such cases are rigorous
18:31
rigorously investigated. Before we continue, I want to
18:37
point something out. I want to tell you guys a story
18:40
about something real quick. When I was an atheist, I went
18:44
into a room filled with religious people and I was being
18:49
an, an extra, extra kind of arrogant ass hat at that time.
18:54
And I said to the Christians, I said, how come I don't observe
18:57
demonic possession? How come Satan doesn't take over
19:00
my body? Why, you know, I'm popular, I'm
19:04
famous. Why doesn't he do it?
19:07
And the Christian sat there for a moment, took a sip of his
19:10
coffee and he looked directly at me through the screen, me on my
19:15
webcam. And he said, well, Satan's
19:18
already got you. He's already, he's already got
19:23
you right where he wants to. So he doesn't have to waste any
19:26
time or new anymore. So basically what he was telling
19:30
me is that Satan's going to go after those who are saved.
19:34
He's going to go after those who are, you know, washed in the
19:39
blood of Christ, if you might say.
19:43
He's not going to focus on a Muslim or a Pagan or a Jewish
19:48
person who denies the Messiah. He's not going to bother with an
19:53
atheist. He's not going to, by showing
19:56
any kind of supernatural abilities or possessing any one
20:00
of these people. It would be like a almost as if
20:04
Satan himself was endorsing the very existence of God and the
20:07
supernatural. Causing the atheist to concede
20:11
that the supernatural is real and in doing so brings glory to
20:16
God. So that's Satan's not going to
20:19
go after people who are already screwed by choice, right?
20:24
So it seems to me that if any possessions are going to happen
20:28
or any kind of real issues, he's going to go after weak
20:32
Christians or babes in Christ. Or go after a veteran priest or
20:39
a Christian that is a senior who's very intelligent in the
20:43
Bible and strong in their faith, who at that moment is having a
20:48
weakness or something is wrong or their faith is aren't thin
20:53
ice at the moment. And unfortunately, that can
20:57
happen to older Christians, even the ones that are considered
21:03
warriors for God. Even a warrior has his moments
21:06
where he falls to his knees and digs his hilt of sword into the
21:11
ground and says, I just don't know what direction to go now.
21:15
I, I don't know God, please give me the strength and help me find
21:19
the wisdom to go forward. We all have those moments where
21:22
we crash, where we fall down. So who knows?
21:30
I guess when it comes down to it, it's going to be what God
21:34
thinks will serve us best, you know?
21:37
Will he give the authority? Will he allow the men he did it
21:42
to 2000 pigs? Practical Considerations
21:47
Regardless of theological stance, most Christian
21:49
traditions encourage believers to resist demonic influence
21:53
through prayer, scripture, repentance, and reliance on
21:56
God's power. James 47.
21:58
Ephesians 6/10/18. Some argue that behaviors
22:02
mistaken for possession might stem from psychological or
22:05
medical issues, urging discernment and professional
22:08
evaluation alongside spiritual remedies.
22:12
And I agree with that. There are people out there who
22:15
have seizures and people who have mental conditions that give
22:18
the appearance of a person might be demonically possessed unless
22:25
the person is showing off for exposing supernatural abilities.
22:30
We need to be very careful with that.
22:33
The Jehovah Witnesses make a mistake where they state we have
22:37
so much faith in God. We're not going to take our sick
22:39
children to hospitals. We don't want blood
22:42
transfusions. And then doing so.
22:45
They have tempted the Lord and they have put their kids in
22:50
positions where it's negligent and can kill those that they
22:55
love because of their strict rituals and traditions.
23:02
Lack of definitive biblical clarity.
23:04
The Bible does not explicitly address whether a Christian can
23:07
be possessed. Most examples of possession mark
23:10
5120 involved non believers are occur before the indwelling of
23:15
the Holy Spirit at Pentecost Acts 2.
23:18
This leaves room for interpretation.
23:20
Conclusion The dominant view among many Christians is that
23:24
true believers cannot be possessed due to the Holy
23:27
Spirit's presence, but they can face oppression or influence.
23:32
However, some traditions allow for rare cases of possession,
23:35
particularly if a believer opens themselves demonic influence
23:39
through serious sin or occult involvement.
23:43
Discernment, prayer, and reliance in God are universally
23:46
recommended. If you have a specific
23:48
denomination or context in mind, I can tailor the answer further.
23:53
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's pretty much all I got to
23:56
say here and all that. I hope you appreciated the video
24:00
and I am looking forward to having a good live conversation
24:03
with this young lady. I think that she's got a very
24:07
interesting channel. I think that you should all
24:09
subscribe to her. And I'm not a As far as demonic
24:14
possession, I've never observed it in my life.
24:18
I have however ran into people who think they are the
24:21
reincarnated version of God or Jesus Christ, but I've never met
24:25
someone actually demonically possessed.
24:27
I have met plenty of people with medical conditions, sick people
24:33
who have made all kinds of weird noises and and said some pretty
24:38
evil things and growled and barked and all that kind of
24:42
stuff. But I never got any conclusive
24:45
evidence that any of these people had a demon controlling
24:48
them from the inside out. And that is God.
