I find my faith is like a rechargeable battery. I need to read scripture and pray often because when I do, it strengthens my Holy Spirit and I feel a wonderful 'glow' from inside, and I can more easily forbid sin from entering my life.
Pastor Jimmy this is a brilliant article! My son and I were talking about this the other day how the word “gaslight” is so misused! It’s the it word, but most people including some counselors have no idea what it really means! This post clearly defines the true meaning of gaslighting from the perspective of the most evil on this earth. I’ve purposefully never used this word to describe a person in my life, but I have heard it tossed around carelessly. Thank you!! This post will help the TP family know what gaslight means….💛
I would like to add that there are people [here] who have experienced terrible toxic tragedies in their relationships. This toxicity can destroy families, marriages, and relationships. One of the best books I've ever read on toxic relationships and building healthy boundaries is When to Walk Away by Gary Thomas. It's packed full of wisdom from the Word. It helps you know.... when to walk away.
BAM BAM BAM!!! Sorry, but you just hit a gold mine by pointing out how many "counselors" use the term gaslighting and lead their clients into claiming it. Just go on any social media and you will find scores of people using the hashtag #gaslighting and believing they are a victim. That isn't to say that there aren't folks who have genuinely endured this because there certainly are! I definitely don't mean to sound as though I am discounting any of their experiences...not one bit. I am pointing out, like you, how it has become a fashion statement for so many in the name of being "oppressed" or "marginalized over the last few years that I call the "Social Justice Warrior Farce." This is a really passionate subject of mine because I see some of my colleagues plant that seed into so many clients and it makes my referrals tragic.
I agree. I'm grateful Pastor Jimmy pointed this out because it is something that needs addressed to numerous folks (in the world) and it will help to have these scriptures and points to help those who want to know. The times that I speak about myself being persecuted, this is almost always what it surrounds because of my adherence to scripture and taking responsibility for ourselves. People need empowered from a scriptural and strengths perspective, not a victim mentality.
You hit a golden nugget of truth. Everyone is a victim from time to time because of circumstances. Staying in that spot or identifying that way is a terribly debilitating position. It badly alters the course of ones thinking and perspectives. It promotes unforgiveness, bitterness, revenge, entitlement and a host of other self-destructive attitudes. It causes ones focus to turn inward, which often leads to great unhappiness. Looking outward and upward and in service to other people brings joy, satisfaction, contentment. Accountability, responsibility, determination, purposes. These are things we see in the people we look up to. I'm still learning these elementary truths and we watch these things play out over and over. Love your critical and honest look digging down into these issues.
You are a kindred spirit my brother. You speak in truth and whole heart of many of these things that come up. Your insights and words have helped me to keep it real and keep looking hard at the things that need to be looked hard at 😊
So true Justin. And I love that you pointed out that "everyone is a victim from time to time." I don't know what context you mean to use that but I am guessing you mean that everyone has those setbacks and times where they are made victims by other people...heck yes, absolutely. But some of us (🙋me too!) have made ourselves victims at times in our lives where our feelings have gotten hurt and camped out there.
I'm not saying this to be funny at all, but I am still terribly guilty of it. Tracy will be the first to confirm that when I feel like I'm not getting enough attention from her, my feelings get hurt and I loaf and piss and moan so much that I get on my own nerves, so I intentionally do something that makes her give me attention. Is that not ridiculous?
I'm healing from a broken ankle right now, and that wasn't an accident.👀
I love this description. Because you are really talking about all of us 😊. Yes, I meant that we all come to this position many times through the course of life. But it is not good to embrace it or to identify with it. God made us in His Image, as kings and priests. Sometimes we go back to these old ways of the flesh but He’s called us to be His children and victimhood has no place among His children. Victimhood is really a place of slavery, when He has rather set us free. And made us strong, in His image. Soon, He will take away this sickness and disease of sin and restore us to complete wholeness. 💪🎉 Have a blessed Christmas week my friend.
Ha! Thanks for the compliment about marriage/family! I definitely have a few screws loose! 🤣 Boy would those in this profession ostracize me for that comment! I am a little unconventional from the world's acceptance though, thank goodness. And you're not kidding...it's a fact. 😂
As I said earlier, a man isn't "right" when he intentionally walks past a running microwave because the Zzzzt-sound from the metal plate in his head helps him remember things. 😬⚡💥
The use of the word “gaslighting” has become the alternative to “Russia, Russia, Russia” used by the demonic Democrats and the Ba’als of the air…MSM-Joe Biden and the rest of Team Nephilim. Hopefully soon, there will be a cleansing in this Amerika. As military and a Watchman for the Lord, I am deeply, deeply disgusted with our military “leaders” who are morally corrupt in their dereliction of duty and moral responsibility to its citizens.
They and the Churches have been weighed and found lacking…Daniel 5:27….’TEKĒL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.”(NASB)
Ezekiel 33:6 (NASB)
“If that sentinel notices that violence is approaching, but does not sound an alarm, then because the nation does not take warning and the sword arrives and destroys their lives because of their guilt, I'll seek retribution for their shed blood from the one who was acting as sentinel.”
Thank you Pastor Jimmy for this encouragement that is so needed to help Christians of all ages to know and walk in truth in our fallen world. The enemy is deceitful, yes, and he uses selfish people to do his bidding. I was married to a man 40 years ago who did this to me, trying to make me feel like I was so emotionally unstable I should be hospitalized (fortunately I wasn’t!), all the while he was having an affair, then divorced me, married her and proceeded to take my children away from me even though I had done nothing wrong! I was a young Christian and it was an absolutely devastating time that has impacted the rest of my life, especially in relationship to my children. More recently I left
another relationship that was damaging and now I know that the only love I can trust is the love that Jesus has for me! It’s taken me a very long time to see that and understand His love, but I cherish it and am so grateful!!! The enemy is real and he will use any means he can to try to take us down. NO MORE!!
Dear Diana, I went through a similar experience with my first husband & my children when we divorced.
They were 9, 10 & 11 years old & I told their father I wouldn’t say anything negative about him in front of the children & asked him to do the same, well I kept my promise but he & his family whom I loved & they were supposedly Christians, they told my children horrible lies about me that affected our relationships for years.
Thankfully God helped them understand once they became parents that I was the one that kept quiet because I loved them & they also realized on their own all the lies they were told by him & his family.
I believe prayer works in amazing ways we don’t understand until God amazes us with answers we never imagined❣️🙏🏼
Good morning you God loving satan haters! If you daily live in the spirit from every day putting on Christ and wearing the armor of God, the holy spirit is faithful to putting up 'red flags" when something isn't kosher. If we hunger for truth and feed on truth, lies are loud. Just like knowing counterfeit money, handle the real stuff all the time and when a fake appears you'll know. God bless everyone here, and may God be with us thru all this madness. Shalom.
Love this Chris! " If we hunger for truth and feed on truth, lies are loud. " Discernment is Soooo important and I love it when the lies are so easy to see. God bless you my brother ( from another mother but the same father...the heavenly one. 😄) Shalom
This is random but did you know that we actually have the same "Mother" as well? Yeah! I love the teaching Pastor Jimmy does on how we have a Father, Brother, and Mother all rolled-up into One. God is obviously our Father, Jesus is our "brother" (not to take-away from all else that He is, which is everything!), and the Holy Spirit is the maternal side of God:
* The Holy Spirit is our comforter, advocate, counselor, and helper.
Hearing that teaching blew my mind, and I loved it!
I'll try to find them. I think it was in some of his XOMarriage podcasts and videos with his wonderful wife. I'll look and post them when I come across them again.
Roman's 12:9 tells us to "abhor" or "hate" what is evil (depending on which translation you have) so I won't take any offense at you labeling me! The enemy "is evil" (Matthew 13:19)
He is a counterfeit of Jesus and opposite in every way, so since I love Jesus, I hate that serpent.
That's only for the 7 year tribulation period... not at the present time. At PRESENT he is just the opposite. And so the opposite can't even list it all. He kills, steals and destroys... roams around the earth roaring as a lion seeking to devour. Accuser of the brethren.
Yes I see what you're saying now. I had to look at it sideways to figure out where you were coming from. That was my mistake in not saying antichrist instead of satan himself. A lot of times, I interchange satan/antichrist because my favorite studies have to do with the part of the tribulation when satan manifest's himself.
Satan is not omniscient or omnipresent. He hasn't embodied/possessed any pastors or teachers and never will. There is not one false messiah of any significance that has developed any ongoing effort to deceive large groups of people that I'm aware of.
Yes David…as there is “up” there is “down”; as there is “full” there is “empty.”…etc.
Jesus is the Light…Satan is the Darkness. God is truth…Satan is the “father” of lies. Where there is the Councilor, the Holy Spirt, there is the demonic evil spirits. In all things haSatan is the Counterfeit.
I get where you're coming from... the point you're making. The definition of counterfeit as I understand it is an imitation... something or someone appears to be the same, but isn't. In 2 Corinthians 11:14 it states He sometimes appears as angel of light. I know how much you despise the actor in Ukraine... maybe Satan is practicing on him for his Antichrist act. LOL!
Chris, You have such a cool way of saying things, but I don't care for this frequent satan hater description. He doesn't deserve that kind of recognition in my humble opinion. GBU! Shalom!
David, would you rather Chris C says .... satan despisers, satan loathers, satan rebukers, or satan abominators? Yep, I hate satan and it's OK to say that in my opinion. ;)
None of them... in my opinion I'd rather hear Jesus lover, Jesus freak, Jesus worshipper. But it seems I have a different perspective on here most of the time. :) I hate him also and like the people I extremely don't care for... don't like mentioning their name because it can make me angry thinking about them. Hope that makes sense. :)
It does David 👍🏼— I think we can all agree we’re Jesus lovers here and more. Nor would we walk around with a tee shirt that says I’m a satan hater, but it felt like u we’re calling poor Chris C out saying that. I didn’t want Chris to think it’s not ok to say that, cuz it is.
I didn't know poor Chris couldn't speak up for himself... he is a grown man. If poor Chris feels compelled or you as well to greeting us frequently as satan haters, then I'll overlook it.
Thank you Kari for verifying what in my heart I knew to be true. My feeling is that enough people dont believe that Satan actually exists. He's been able to walk around so easily because people don't believe he's real. We NEED to hate evil and that which is not Godly and Satan needs to be abhorred, not ignored. 🥴
Amen Jessie— we learned here too that a lot of people don’t believe there is a hell. That’s shocking. This verse says it all — “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”
I don't think hating him is wrong. To me it's like you shouldn't be bringing up your ex spouse to your current spouse every day or any day for that matter unless absolutely necessary for some reason. Hope that makes sense.
Not that I try to dwell on the enemy but he is so prevalent in the world today it’s hard not to see him & hate him & all the pain he is causing so many.
Satan is so happy at all the pain he is causing in the world right now & the worse evil to come.
I pray God interferes in satan’s plans & we can save many more from satan’s grasp before our precious Lord Jesus/Yeshua comes to get us❣️🙏🏼
Praying for your complete miraculous healing in Jesus Mighty name❣️🙏🏼
Also praying for your husband’s heart to rest in Jesus precious peace.🙏🏼
I have problems within my family that kept tearing my heart apart until the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart that whatever I’m going through God is still in control of my life & for me to rest in His Peace.
The peace that Jesus died to give us.
One day at a time, because none of us are promised another day on this earth.
So I try to focus on today & let God worry about tomorrow.
Praying for God to shower you & your husband with His mighty Love & Peace❣️🙏🏼
Jack Hibbs mentioned this headline at the start of his service. Talk about “gaslighting”..... I had to do some research to make sure it was out there. It was. “God is dead and Jesus is fake news”.....
Then, mentioned in an earlier post on TP, the Pope issues 10 new commandments on climate change.
One of the first warnings Jesus gave us about the end of days, is deception. Now evil is coming out of the shadows and boldly proclaiming their beliefs, plans and who they see as their adversaries.
So no surprise that the WEC forum has now made its frontal attack on the Christian population. “God is dead, Jesus is fake news”. We see the Vatican aligning themselves with this same organization.
The 4 worst words God says to the inhabitants of the nations....”God gave them over.....”. We know many will be experiencing strong delusions. Totally deceived that they can’t hear the truth.
2023 may be the year of the final phases of setting up the antichrist system. Christians in America could face the fiercest persecution ever. With the incredible velocity of technology and the world leaders openly declaring their intent to set up a one world government, climate change religion and worldwide economic system, it’s definitely scary not knowing when the rapture will happen.
No doubt, our faith will be tested, our strength in the Lord to persevere, and the Holy Spirit living within and thru us to save every person we possible can. We must speak the truth with love.
Thank you Pastor J for another great post that generated so many great comments. This community is a spiritual oasis in a very dirty and evil dessert. May God continue to bless you all!
Your comment is so spot on in todays world & what’s happening with the evil people trying to destroy Christianity while setting up the evil NWO.
I see & believe everything you stated.
And that is why we must point out evil & satan’s works wherever we see them to warn people, regardless of the blowback we receive.
Of course we must do it in as loving a way as possible but never forget Jesus called the political & religious leaders of His day: “snakes” & “dead men walking”?
I know I’m far from being the perfect Christian I want to be & that I get things wrong but I pray God helps me to help others.
I believe time is short & we Christians may have to face persecution before Jesus returns & we need to prepare people for that possibility?
I think it's important to point out and I'm not doing this in a condescending way. Jesus did not call out the political leaders of His day just the religious leaders. He was very careful not to speak against the Roman government because He didn't want to be viewed as starting any type of uprising to overthrow the Roman government because He hadn't come for that reason. And unfortunately, there's teaching in the church today that has crossed a line and looking to take over the government... missing it just as much as the Jews did back then. He came to declare a heavenly kingdom. His earthly kingdom comes forth in the millennium.
I’m sorry I should have made my comment clearer, I meant that he called out the Jewish political leaders The Sanhedrin & the Sadducees & the Scibes & Pharisees, but not the Roman government.
The Bible warned us there was already false teachers & messiahs & antichrists back in Jesus time & we have witnessed MANY false religious leaders claiming to be God & deceiving many & sometimes killing them physically or having them commit mass suicide?
Now many of the ‘false Messiahs” that our youth are looking up too are the New Age psychics, mediums, etc…
I agree we will never set up the perfect kingdom on earth but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to save our country as long as we can to hopefully keep our religious freedom & save more people?
America has done more to help spread the Gospel throughout the world.
Unfortunately the Elite Communists that rule our current corrupt USA government is trying to help usher in the NWO, with the help of the:
WEF-WHO-UN-Great Reset.
I believe Jesus is returning very soon but I want to do all we can to save people & our country & freedoms for as long as possible. 🙏🏼
Kim, we pray for your health right now. That Jesus would carry all of you through this storm and these strong waves. May He give you strength and perserverance. We pray for your husband as well, that the Lord would give him extra strength and comfort his heart. May the family step back a little and soften their hearts to allow the Lord to work in them.
Thank you so much for this important teaching. When the devil brings my past sins into my mind or tries to instill any fear or guilt for wrong doing that I've already been forgiven of. I immediately say in the Holy American of Jesus and on His blood get behind me satan. I know that it's those aren't my thoughts and it's not G_d the Father, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit speaking to me. If it's a person saying something to me that is representing the devil, I look right at them unafraid and say "in the Holy name of Jesus and on His blood get behind me satan." Then I walk away. No matter who they are. Then I read G_d's word. It always helps. Pray that this is helpful to others. Yours in Christ Jesus.
Amen! Amen! Amen! Encouraging and comforting in truth ; in a powerful truth. Lucifer is deceiving left & right. I’ve never er seen such destruction in the mind amongst my peers and in myself all recently. This is exactly what i needed today and i will share it to help those being taken under by the angel of gaslighting: so much of the Hattie reminds me of my time in an extremely abusive relationship that I still endure today bc I refuse to allow my son to endure such anymore. God has shade me and my son and we will not give in or up but all must fight so hard against words : words really have power of life and death. I can say today we must do all we can To be kind and keep these truths close for us and our loved ones and even our enemies . I’m grateful to god for doing what only he can do. Praise him!
I saw that too. He was shouting fire and brimstone which is needed and I love! I was trying to figure out that 90% number that he said would never experience God's presence at His throne room. My mind keeps going to the 50% who will be left (the 10 virgins parable), but that just applies to the number within the church. My mind is getting things mixed-up today.
🤔...I need to walk past the microwave again...the sparks from the metal plate in my head and that "Zzzt" sound always helps me to remember.🧨🎆🔥
I saw that but didn't listen to it. I very much understand where he is coming from, whether the 90% number is from a macro perspective. He's going to be tough on the ones that deserve it and compassionate on the ones that need it. There's a pile of little babies and kids, for one, that I think He has an unbelievably soft heart for. The 50% number you brought up in scripture is referenced over and over and over with the rapture. If you break down His address to each of the churches and portions of churches in Revelation 2 & 3, you see this approximation again. Also, the two people grinding, 1 taken/1 left. 2 people in the field, 1 taken/1 left. 2 people sleeping, 1 taken/1 left. Based on the basic principle of being saved=going in the rapture, it would appear that about half of the church is legitimately saved, if this holds true. I for one, am glad for the fire and brimstone as people need to grasp what they are actually being saved from and what that means. But I know how much we are all critically relying on mercy too. I think about this every single day. The reverence I really need to have and miss at times, as well as how fallen our human nature really is and how badly we need His healing in our lives, both physical and spiritual.
Lately I've been getting high blood pressure. Thank you for making me realize that it's probably coming from the enemy. It seems like everywhere I turn there is chaos and now you've put it into perspective, the devil is trying to gaslight us. I thank God that you have bought this to light Pastor Evans. I am already feeling a sense of peace. My brothers and sisters we have to keep focused only on the Lord's word and continue praying for his return. God bless.
I will be praying over you! I certainly know how the enemy has a hand in this! I just thought I would mention (in case it is something that may apply to you) that my blood pressure had suddenly spiked a few months ago. I knew something was wrong because I am in good shape and very active for the most part, but I was tired and had a bad headache. They put me on blood pressure meds for a few months (which I hated!).
After some research I found that mouthwash can cause high blood pressure, depending on the ingredients. Long story short, I stopped and I am good now and weened-off of the meds.
I am obsessive about having clean teeth and used the old brown Listerine almost every trip to the restroom. You know, the kind that our grandparents used as mouthwash, paint thinner, and gasoline?
Not sure if this applies but it is worth mentioning.
Jimmy i really needed to hear this. I was crying just before i saw this. My husband was mocking pastors i listen to. He wants me to doubt my reality. He mocks teachers i stream on my tv, he tells me it’s not Jesus birth so my son mocking Christmas isn’t something i should cry about. He says we are living in the time that Satan is loosed and he wants me to doubt my reality. When i refer to Jesus as Jesus he corrects me by saying His name is not Jesus but Yeshua and it’s Hebrew!
Please pray for my son and my husband. Thank you for everything you share. Happy to be a subscriber. This really hits home with people suffering in todays world and even in their own homes.
He is known by many names in many languages. What you are describing sounds abusive, sister. I do not sense good fruit or intentions in your descriptions of what he is saying. We've gone through so much ourselves, in some ways still do. Praying the Lord keep you and guide you as you live for him.
You got that right Justin. There is no fruit or good intentions. I have no doubt my husband is a covert narcissist. I’ve been married to him for 38 years, have gone to many Christian counselors, and nothing has helped. I became a Christian counselor myself but after my third year in school i got PTSD. My past childhood abuses caught up with me. On top of that I can’t even begin to tell you the horrors of my life with him. I had hoped for many years things would change but it became clear they weren’t. I left him for 2 1/2 years and made the mistake of coming back a year after i had a stroke at 51. Financially i couldn’t make it because he fought me so badly with the divorce that i had no fight left in me. I was also broke and lost my job due to the stroke. Now I’m living in even worse circumstances and i had no family to help me. I grew up in foster homes and my siblings left my abusive mother with me to take care of and she has dementia. I mean you can’t get any worse right… but it’s so much worse than i can describe. So seriously, please remember me in your prayers. I feel like if people pray it will strengthen me. My only way out is through Jesus returning and I’m really counting on that. I asked for prayer for my husband in however God guides you too.
Thank you for sharing something so painful and long and personal. Praying God give you the strength to continue on. I don't know anything as bad as you are describing. I know it seems like a fight for survival, a daily war to do what is right and stay the course. Praying God gives you the strength to see through what you know is right. A strength that will bear what seems unbearable some days. I do think we are going to be tested more and more as the day approaches.
You are correct. These last days are harder for sure which is why your prayers are so appreciated. God bless you in your circumstances also. I’ll be remembering you in my prayers also. May God bless you greatly and be with you until the end! I look forward to meeting you there!
Thank you dear sister. He has and He will. For all of us. Testing and refining something of great value cannot be done without great fire. I look forward to that great day when I can meet you and all of this other great family that we have 😊. The Lord is faithful and He will keep you and walk beside you. You can count on this above all else. He is the Son of our horizon.
Christine, I agree with Justin. Your husband's behavior is beyond unkind, it's abusive. He needs to agree to counseling. That behavior can't be tolerated.
Please read my reply to Justin. Your are very observant and very kind. I don’t know what made you say these things or get where I’m coming from but if it’s touched you then please remember me in your daily prayers. I’ve been trying to get help but the enemy has asked to sift me as wheat so to speak, and for my entire life! I feel like I’ve been crying out my whole life and no one hears. Or people forget about me and stop t praying for me. So please pray. Thank you so much for your kindness.
Thanks for this reminder. How we need to be continually reminded of these truths. Peter in his second letter was reminding the saints of truths that he had taught them in the past which they already knew and were established in and yet he is once again reminding them shortly before his death. 2 Peter 1:12-14.
Thank you!!! I desperately needed this. I have been under heavy attack and this gives me help to withstand. Praise the Lord!!! Praise Father God!!! Praise Holy Spirit!!!
I find my faith is like a rechargeable battery. I need to read scripture and pray often because when I do, it strengthens my Holy Spirit and I feel a wonderful 'glow' from inside, and I can more easily forbid sin from entering my life.
So true. I feel like reading scripture and praying everyday helps me stay at peace against all the evil, that is swirling around us daily.. 🙏✝️

Thank you Kari for ADDING that.
Thank you for sharing Kari, you & many here bless me everytime you post.
I grew up in an ungodly toxic childhood by parents & extended family.
I won’t go into details but I was a very confused child.
Thank God my Grama on my Mom’s side was a very Spirit Filled prayer warrior & when we visited her I could actually feel the peace of God in her house.
It was the only time I got to go to church & I loved church & loved listening to the Pastor preach instead of going to childrens church.
I felt God speaking to me through the Pastor’s sermons & I could feel the Holy Spirit.
My Grama taught me to pray but I never could pray as long & as much as she did.
Prayer Warriors are a great treasure to the church. ❤️
Your testimony is powerful and comforting for all of us… no matter what we go through He will shine a light in the darkness and rescue us. 🔥💛
Thank you❣️🙏🏼❤️
I love that one too!
BAM BAM BAM!!! Sorry, but you just hit a gold mine by pointing out how many "counselors" use the term gaslighting and lead their clients into claiming it.

Oh, and thank you brother Justin for the kind words too. I dissect every single think that you post because I always learn something from you brother.
You are a kindred spirit my brother. You speak in truth and whole heart of many of these things that come up. Your insights and words have helped me to keep it real and keep looking hard at the things that need to be looked hard at 😊
So true Justin. And I love that you pointed out that "everyone is a victim from time to time." I don't know what context you mean to use that but I am guessing you mean that everyone has those setbacks and times where they are made victims by other people...heck yes, absolutely. But some of us (🙋me too!) have made ourselves victims at times in our lives where our feelings have gotten hurt and camped out there.
I'm not saying this to be funny at all, but I am still terribly guilty of it. Tracy will be the first to confirm that when I feel like I'm not getting enough attention from her, my feelings get hurt and I loaf and piss and moan so much that I get on my own nerves, so I intentionally do something that makes her give me attention. Is that not ridiculous?
I'm healing from a broken ankle right now, and that wasn't an accident.👀
But it worked 😁
I love this description. Because you are really talking about all of us 😊. Yes, I meant that we all come to this position many times through the course of life. But it is not good to embrace it or to identify with it. God made us in His Image, as kings and priests. Sometimes we go back to these old ways of the flesh but He’s called us to be His children and victimhood has no place among His children. Victimhood is really a place of slavery, when He has rather set us free. And made us strong, in His image. Soon, He will take away this sickness and disease of sin and restore us to complete wholeness. 💪🎉 Have a blessed Christmas week my friend.
Thank you buddy. Wishing yourself, Melanie, and all of your family a wonderful Christmas as well.

You made me mad by making me think about this! #itsherfault

Your comments always bless & help me Steve❣️🙏🏼❤️✝️
Steve, What type of counseling do you specialize in?
Clinical mental health and addictions. But I am moving away from that to get more into marriage, couple and family.
Cool. You come across as more of a marriage / family counselor. Your mental clients probably think you are "mental", too. LOL! Just kidding!
Ha! Thanks for the compliment about marriage/family! I definitely have a few screws loose! 🤣 Boy would those in this profession ostracize me for that comment! I am a little unconventional from the world's acceptance though, thank goodness. And you're not kidding...it's a fact. 😂
As I said earlier, a man isn't "right" when he intentionally walks past a running microwave because the Zzzzt-sound from the metal plate in his head helps him remember things. 😬⚡💥
The use of the word “gaslighting” has become the alternative to “Russia, Russia, Russia” used by the demonic Democrats and the Ba’als of the air…MSM-Joe Biden and the rest of Team Nephilim. Hopefully soon, there will be a cleansing in this Amerika. As military and a Watchman for the Lord, I am deeply, deeply disgusted with our military “leaders” who are morally corrupt in their dereliction of duty and moral responsibility to its citizens.
They and the Churches have been weighed and found lacking…Daniel 5:27….’TEKĒL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.”(NASB)
Ezekiel 33:6 (NASB)
“If that sentinel notices that violence is approaching, but does not sound an alarm, then because the nation does not take warning and the sword arrives and destroys their lives because of their guilt, I'll seek retribution for their shed blood from the one who was acting as sentinel.”
Amen Francis❣️🙏🏼
Thank you Pastor Jimmy for this encouragement that is so needed to help Christians of all ages to know and walk in truth in our fallen world. The enemy is deceitful, yes, and he uses selfish people to do his bidding. I was married to a man 40 years ago who did this to me, trying to make me feel like I was so emotionally unstable I should be hospitalized (fortunately I wasn’t!), all the while he was having an affair, then divorced me, married her and proceeded to take my children away from me even though I had done nothing wrong! I was a young Christian and it was an absolutely devastating time that has impacted the rest of my life, especially in relationship to my children. More recently I left
another relationship that was damaging and now I know that the only love I can trust is the love that Jesus has for me! It’s taken me a very long time to see that and understand His love, but I cherish it and am so grateful!!! The enemy is real and he will use any means he can to try to take us down. NO MORE!!
Stay strong dear Diana, you are fierce!!!!
Dear Diana, I went through a similar experience with my first husband & my children when we divorced.
They were 9, 10 & 11 years old & I told their father I wouldn’t say anything negative about him in front of the children & asked him to do the same, well I kept my promise but he & his family whom I loved & they were supposedly Christians, they told my children horrible lies about me that affected our relationships for years.
Thankfully God helped them understand once they became parents that I was the one that kept quiet because I loved them & they also realized on their own all the lies they were told by him & his family.
I believe prayer works in amazing ways we don’t understand until God amazes us with answers we never imagined❣️🙏🏼
Good morning you God loving satan haters! If you daily live in the spirit from every day putting on Christ and wearing the armor of God, the holy spirit is faithful to putting up 'red flags" when something isn't kosher. If we hunger for truth and feed on truth, lies are loud. Just like knowing counterfeit money, handle the real stuff all the time and when a fake appears you'll know. God bless everyone here, and may God be with us thru all this madness. Shalom.
Love this Chris! " If we hunger for truth and feed on truth, lies are loud. " Discernment is Soooo important and I love it when the lies are so easy to see. God bless you my brother ( from another mother but the same father...the heavenly one. 😄) Shalom
This is random but did you know that we actually have the same "Mother" as well? Yeah! I love the teaching Pastor Jimmy does on how we have a Father, Brother, and Mother all rolled-up into One. God is obviously our Father, Jesus is our "brother" (not to take-away from all else that He is, which is everything!), and the Holy Spirit is the maternal side of God:
* The Holy Spirit is our comforter, advocate, counselor, and helper.
Hearing that teaching blew my mind, and I loved it!
Love this Steve! I'll have to find where he talks about that. Love Love this !
I'll try to find them. I think it was in some of his XOMarriage podcasts and videos with his wonderful wife. I'll look and post them when I come across them again.
Thank you!!!
I have heard this taught before Steve, I can’t remember by who but it might have been Pastor Jimmy.
I love this teaching & it helped me understand why God loves the “family” unit because His Godhead is modeled like the Family?
I’d also love to hear Pastor Jimmys teaching on this❣️🙏🏼
What a blessing that would be.
Every post here from TP Pastors & family blesses me, thank you all so very much❣️🙏🏼
Amen...as subtle as the devil may word it. If we are current with and in the WORD, it's as plain as day!
So true brother, Shalom
Roman's 12:9 tells us to "abhor" or "hate" what is evil (depending on which translation you have) so I won't take any offense at you labeling me! The enemy "is evil" (Matthew 13:19)
He is a counterfeit of Jesus and opposite in every way, so since I love Jesus, I hate that serpent.
Good for you! I've never heard Satan was a counterfeit of Jesus before.
Yeah, that was one of those things when I heard it I thought “Wow, he is!” A few of those (that I can remember) are:
1. The Holy Trinity-Satan has his own “unholy trinity” in himself, the antichrist, and the false prophet.
2. Jesus performs miracles-Satan performs “lying signs and wonders.” (2 Thess. 2:9)
3. Jesus is God-Satan (antichrist) “sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
4. Jesus returns on a white horse with the saints at the 2nd coming-antichrist comes to conquer on a white horse when the first seal is opened.
These are a few but there are a bunch more I remember finding.
I have heard many of these as well Steve & it blew me away at how much Satan tries to mimic Jesus to fool as many as possible!
That’s why we must compare what every Pastor & person has to say with God’s Word❣️🙏🏼
That's only for the 7 year tribulation period... not at the present time. At PRESENT he is just the opposite. And so the opposite can't even list it all. He kills, steals and destroys... roams around the earth roaring as a lion seeking to devour. Accuser of the brethren.
Yes I see what you're saying now. I had to look at it sideways to figure out where you were coming from. That was my mistake in not saying antichrist instead of satan himself. A lot of times, I interchange satan/antichrist because my favorite studies have to do with the part of the tribulation when satan manifest's himself.
Satan does both, he pretends to be fake pastors & teachers & false messiahs while He also steals, kills & destroys.
Satan is not omniscient or omnipresent. He hasn't embodied/possessed any pastors or teachers and never will. There is not one false messiah of any significance that has developed any ongoing effort to deceive large groups of people that I'm aware of.
Yes David…as there is “up” there is “down”; as there is “full” there is “empty.”…etc.
Jesus is the Light…Satan is the Darkness. God is truth…Satan is the “father” of lies. Where there is the Councilor, the Holy Spirt, there is the demonic evil spirits. In all things haSatan is the Counterfeit.
But you (actually really) know all that!! 😷💜
I get where you're coming from... the point you're making. The definition of counterfeit as I understand it is an imitation... something or someone appears to be the same, but isn't. In 2 Corinthians 11:14 it states He sometimes appears as angel of light. I know how much you despise the actor in Ukraine... maybe Satan is practicing on him for his Antichrist act. LOL!
👍 👍 👍
Amen
Chris, You have such a cool way of saying things, but I don't care for this frequent satan hater description. He doesn't deserve that kind of recognition in my humble opinion. GBU! Shalom!
David, would you rather Chris C says .... satan despisers, satan loathers, satan rebukers, or satan abominators? Yep, I hate satan and it's OK to say that in my opinion. ;)
Go girl
None of them... in my opinion I'd rather hear Jesus lover, Jesus freak, Jesus worshipper. But it seems I have a different perspective on here most of the time. :) I hate him also and like the people I extremely don't care for... don't like mentioning their name because it can make me angry thinking about them. Hope that makes sense. :)
It does David 👍🏼— I think we can all agree we’re Jesus lovers here and more. Nor would we walk around with a tee shirt that says I’m a satan hater, but it felt like u we’re calling poor Chris C out saying that. I didn’t want Chris to think it’s not ok to say that, cuz it is.
I didn't know poor Chris couldn't speak up for himself... he is a grown man. If poor Chris feels compelled or you as well to greeting us frequently as satan haters, then I'll overlook it.
David, why would you, as a Loving Christian, be so condescending to Chris???
Sometimes I’m not sure if you are here to learn & love & help everyone here or if you like to argue & keep trying to pick a fight over nothing???
We love you brother David & hope you feel the same about all of us?
💙✝️🦋🙏🏼
Thank you Kari for verifying what in my heart I knew to be true. My feeling is that enough people dont believe that Satan actually exists. He's been able to walk around so easily because people don't believe he's real. We NEED to hate evil and that which is not Godly and Satan needs to be abhorred, not ignored. 🥴
Amen Jessie— we learned here too that a lot of people don’t believe there is a hell. That’s shocking. This verse says it all — “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.”
Romans 12:9 💛
I get what your saying David. 😏 But with all the crappola the devils thrown at me, I seriously HATE the guy. Is that wrong? 🤔
I don't think hating him is wrong. To me it's like you shouldn't be bringing up your ex spouse to your current spouse every day or any day for that matter unless absolutely necessary for some reason. Hope that makes sense.
Yep...makes sense. 🙃
Merry Christmas David! 🎄
Merry Christmas Jessie!
Ok. Cool, but now it sounds what you're describing is like the Hebrews never saying the name of God because it was so holy but just the opposite.
I like it when we pull his pants and expose him for the evil he is !!!!!
I certainly don’t want to give him too much attention certainly!!!
God Almighty reigns
there is none higher than him we have an adversary that is seeking to devour us I think as often as we can call him out we should🥰 just sayin
Good description of our response to the father of lies!
That's not what I'm saying at all. See above.
I agree with Chris & Kari.
Not that I try to dwell on the enemy but he is so prevalent in the world today it’s hard not to see him & hate him & all the pain he is causing so many.
Satan is so happy at all the pain he is causing in the world right now & the worse evil to come.
I pray God interferes in satan’s plans & we can save many more from satan’s grasp before our precious Lord Jesus/Yeshua comes to get us❣️🙏🏼
Amen Chris❣️🙏🏼
A reminder from “the man in Black”
“You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that’s midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter…
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down…Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, “Disciple go do My will!"
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light…
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down…”
—Johnny Cash
I need to ask for prayers for our family, especially my husband’s side. Satan is working overtime causing chaos and tearing my husband heart apart.
I had surgery in October and have had 4 setbacks already, so between his family and my health his plate is overflowing.
Please lift him up in your prayers for direction, strength and confidence and for my healing. Thank You TP family for your kindness and support!
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
Praying for you and family
Praying for your complete miraculous healing in Jesus Mighty name❣️🙏🏼
Also praying for your husband’s heart to rest in Jesus precious peace.🙏🏼
I have problems within my family that kept tearing my heart apart until the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart that whatever I’m going through God is still in control of my life & for me to rest in His Peace.
The peace that Jesus died to give us.
One day at a time, because none of us are promised another day on this earth.
So I try to focus on today & let God worry about tomorrow.
Praying for God to shower you & your husband with His mighty Love & Peace❣️🙏🏼
🙏
Praying for you dear
Jack Hibbs mentioned this headline at the start of his service. Talk about “gaslighting”..... I had to do some research to make sure it was out there. It was. “God is dead and Jesus is fake news”.....
https://rumble.com/v1wy7me-klaus-schwab-god-is-dead-and-the-wef-is-acquiring-divine-powers.html
Then, mentioned in an earlier post on TP, the Pope issues 10 new commandments on climate change.
One of the first warnings Jesus gave us about the end of days, is deception. Now evil is coming out of the shadows and boldly proclaiming their beliefs, plans and who they see as their adversaries.
So no surprise that the WEC forum has now made its frontal attack on the Christian population. “God is dead, Jesus is fake news”. We see the Vatican aligning themselves with this same organization.
The 4 worst words God says to the inhabitants of the nations....”God gave them over.....”. We know many will be experiencing strong delusions. Totally deceived that they can’t hear the truth.
2023 may be the year of the final phases of setting up the antichrist system. Christians in America could face the fiercest persecution ever. With the incredible velocity of technology and the world leaders openly declaring their intent to set up a one world government, climate change religion and worldwide economic system, it’s definitely scary not knowing when the rapture will happen.
No doubt, our faith will be tested, our strength in the Lord to persevere, and the Holy Spirit living within and thru us to save every person we possible can. We must speak the truth with love.
Thank you Pastor J for another great post that generated so many great comments. This community is a spiritual oasis in a very dirty and evil dessert. May God continue to bless you all!
Love you brother, it was a great share today.
Tonight my son and I went to Bethlehem. ( the local First Baptist Fort Walton Beach)
They had alive Nativity. My son is Down’s, he had his picture taken with the
Roman Centurion
The Shepherds abiding in the field,
Got some hugs from stable animals,
Then we made our way to the empty tomb,
He went inside, talked to Jesus for a little while, said a prayer,
Then he wanted to know
Hey Where’s Joseph???
Lol, God love him,
Merry Christmas to all and to all, Good night
Aww Glee...🥹
This got me.
This makes me think of the four most feared words I could ever hear; "I never knew you."
Thank you Art❣️
Your comment is so spot on in todays world & what’s happening with the evil people trying to destroy Christianity while setting up the evil NWO.
I see & believe everything you stated.
And that is why we must point out evil & satan’s works wherever we see them to warn people, regardless of the blowback we receive.
Of course we must do it in as loving a way as possible but never forget Jesus called the political & religious leaders of His day: “snakes” & “dead men walking”?
I know I’m far from being the perfect Christian I want to be & that I get things wrong but I pray God helps me to help others.
I believe time is short & we Christians may have to face persecution before Jesus returns & we need to prepare people for that possibility?
Anyway, just my two cents. 🙃❤️✝️🙏🏼
I think it's important to point out and I'm not doing this in a condescending way. Jesus did not call out the political leaders of His day just the religious leaders. He was very careful not to speak against the Roman government because He didn't want to be viewed as starting any type of uprising to overthrow the Roman government because He hadn't come for that reason. And unfortunately, there's teaching in the church today that has crossed a line and looking to take over the government... missing it just as much as the Jews did back then. He came to declare a heavenly kingdom. His earthly kingdom comes forth in the millennium.
I’m sorry I should have made my comment clearer, I meant that he called out the Jewish political leaders The Sanhedrin & the Sadducees & the Scibes & Pharisees, but not the Roman government.
The Bible warned us there was already false teachers & messiahs & antichrists back in Jesus time & we have witnessed MANY false religious leaders claiming to be God & deceiving many & sometimes killing them physically or having them commit mass suicide?
Now many of the ‘false Messiahs” that our youth are looking up too are the New Age psychics, mediums, etc…
I agree we will never set up the perfect kingdom on earth but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to save our country as long as we can to hopefully keep our religious freedom & save more people?
America has done more to help spread the Gospel throughout the world.
Unfortunately the Elite Communists that rule our current corrupt USA government is trying to help usher in the NWO, with the help of the:
WEF-WHO-UN-Great Reset.
I believe Jesus is returning very soon but I want to do all we can to save people & our country & freedoms for as long as possible. 🙏🏼
Kim, we pray for your health right now. That Jesus would carry all of you through this storm and these strong waves. May He give you strength and perserverance. We pray for your husband as well, that the Lord would give him extra strength and comfort his heart. May the family step back a little and soften their hearts to allow the Lord to work in them.
Praying for your husband, and for you right now Kim. And will continue!
🙏 ❤
Thank you so much for this important teaching. When the devil brings my past sins into my mind or tries to instill any fear or guilt for wrong doing that I've already been forgiven of. I immediately say in the Holy American of Jesus and on His blood get behind me satan. I know that it's those aren't my thoughts and it's not G_d the Father, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit speaking to me. If it's a person saying something to me that is representing the devil, I look right at them unafraid and say "in the Holy name of Jesus and on His blood get behind me satan." Then I walk away. No matter who they are. Then I read G_d's word. It always helps. Pray that this is helpful to others. Yours in Christ Jesus.
Amen! Amen! Amen! Encouraging and comforting in truth ; in a powerful truth. Lucifer is deceiving left & right. I’ve never er seen such destruction in the mind amongst my peers and in myself all recently. This is exactly what i needed today and i will share it to help those being taken under by the angel of gaslighting: so much of the Hattie reminds me of my time in an extremely abusive relationship that I still endure today bc I refuse to allow my son to endure such anymore. God has shade me and my son and we will not give in or up but all must fight so hard against words : words really have power of life and death. I can say today we must do all we can To be kind and keep these truths close for us and our loved ones and even our enemies . I’m grateful to god for doing what only he can do. Praise him!
Amen dear one, awesome word today!!
Happy Sunday TP family
Amen and don't let him gaslight you that Jesus isn't about to show up for his peeps! :)

Did you read Amir Tsarfati's message today on Telegram. Wowwsy!!! It was so good! He's coming back.... and that ain't no gaslighting lie!!!
I saw that too. He was shouting fire and brimstone which is needed and I love! I was trying to figure out that 90% number that he said would never experience God's presence at His throne room. My mind keeps going to the 50% who will be left (the 10 virgins parable), but that just applies to the number within the church. My mind is getting things mixed-up today.
🤔...I need to walk past the microwave again...the sparks from the metal plate in my head and that "Zzzt" sound always helps me to remember.🧨🎆🔥
I saw that but didn't listen to it. I very much understand where he is coming from, whether the 90% number is from a macro perspective. He's going to be tough on the ones that deserve it and compassionate on the ones that need it. There's a pile of little babies and kids, for one, that I think He has an unbelievably soft heart for. The 50% number you brought up in scripture is referenced over and over and over with the rapture. If you break down His address to each of the churches and portions of churches in Revelation 2 & 3, you see this approximation again. Also, the two people grinding, 1 taken/1 left. 2 people in the field, 1 taken/1 left. 2 people sleeping, 1 taken/1 left. Based on the basic principle of being saved=going in the rapture, it would appear that about half of the church is legitimately saved, if this holds true. I for one, am glad for the fire and brimstone as people need to grasp what they are actually being saved from and what that means. But I know how much we are all critically relying on mercy too. I think about this every single day. The reverence I really need to have and miss at times, as well as how fallen our human nature really is and how badly we need His healing in our lives, both physical and spiritual.
Merry Christmas Rachel! :)
Thank you so much Pastor Jimmy what a wonderful message to wake up to on a Sunday morning and so true and so needed
thank you thank you thank you
Lately I've been getting high blood pressure. Thank you for making me realize that it's probably coming from the enemy. It seems like everywhere I turn there is chaos and now you've put it into perspective, the devil is trying to gaslight us. I thank God that you have bought this to light Pastor Evans. I am already feeling a sense of peace. My brothers and sisters we have to keep focused only on the Lord's word and continue praying for his return. God bless.
Hi Miss Beth,
I will be praying over you! I certainly know how the enemy has a hand in this! I just thought I would mention (in case it is something that may apply to you) that my blood pressure had suddenly spiked a few months ago. I knew something was wrong because I am in good shape and very active for the most part, but I was tired and had a bad headache. They put me on blood pressure meds for a few months (which I hated!).
After some research I found that mouthwash can cause high blood pressure, depending on the ingredients. Long story short, I stopped and I am good now and weened-off of the meds.
I am obsessive about having clean teeth and used the old brown Listerine almost every trip to the restroom. You know, the kind that our grandparents used as mouthwash, paint thinner, and gasoline?
Not sure if this applies but it is worth mentioning.
That is such good teaching - thanks for that 😊🙏
Thank you, thank you, for this great reminder!
As the song says " I read the back of the Book, and We Win!!"
Haha, I love that!
Jimmy i really needed to hear this. I was crying just before i saw this. My husband was mocking pastors i listen to. He wants me to doubt my reality. He mocks teachers i stream on my tv, he tells me it’s not Jesus birth so my son mocking Christmas isn’t something i should cry about. He says we are living in the time that Satan is loosed and he wants me to doubt my reality. When i refer to Jesus as Jesus he corrects me by saying His name is not Jesus but Yeshua and it’s Hebrew!
Please pray for my son and my husband. Thank you for everything you share. Happy to be a subscriber. This really hits home with people suffering in todays world and even in their own homes.
Praying for you dear friend
Ty so much. I desperately need them. I’m so thankful for you! 😭
Ty so much. I really need those prayers. I’m so heart broken especially over my son.
Christine, You may find comfort/wisdom in how to handle this situation via Jimmy's marriage ministry. https://xomarriage.com/ https://xomarriage.com/marriage-help/receive-coaching/ So sorry you're having to deal with this.
He is known by many names in many languages. What you are describing sounds abusive, sister. I do not sense good fruit or intentions in your descriptions of what he is saying. We've gone through so much ourselves, in some ways still do. Praying the Lord keep you and guide you as you live for him.
You got that right Justin. There is no fruit or good intentions. I have no doubt my husband is a covert narcissist. I’ve been married to him for 38 years, have gone to many Christian counselors, and nothing has helped. I became a Christian counselor myself but after my third year in school i got PTSD. My past childhood abuses caught up with me. On top of that I can’t even begin to tell you the horrors of my life with him. I had hoped for many years things would change but it became clear they weren’t. I left him for 2 1/2 years and made the mistake of coming back a year after i had a stroke at 51. Financially i couldn’t make it because he fought me so badly with the divorce that i had no fight left in me. I was also broke and lost my job due to the stroke. Now I’m living in even worse circumstances and i had no family to help me. I grew up in foster homes and my siblings left my abusive mother with me to take care of and she has dementia. I mean you can’t get any worse right… but it’s so much worse than i can describe. So seriously, please remember me in your prayers. I feel like if people pray it will strengthen me. My only way out is through Jesus returning and I’m really counting on that. I asked for prayer for my husband in however God guides you too.
Thank you for sharing something so painful and long and personal. Praying God give you the strength to continue on. I don't know anything as bad as you are describing. I know it seems like a fight for survival, a daily war to do what is right and stay the course. Praying God gives you the strength to see through what you know is right. A strength that will bear what seems unbearable some days. I do think we are going to be tested more and more as the day approaches.
You are correct. These last days are harder for sure which is why your prayers are so appreciated. God bless you in your circumstances also. I’ll be remembering you in my prayers also. May God bless you greatly and be with you until the end! I look forward to meeting you there!
Thank you dear sister. He has and He will. For all of us. Testing and refining something of great value cannot be done without great fire. I look forward to that great day when I can meet you and all of this other great family that we have 😊. The Lord is faithful and He will keep you and walk beside you. You can count on this above all else. He is the Son of our horizon.
Amen! Wonderfully said my brother! Until then! 😊
Christine, I agree with Justin. Your husband's behavior is beyond unkind, it's abusive. He needs to agree to counseling. That behavior can't be tolerated.
Please read my reply to Justin. Your are very observant and very kind. I don’t know what made you say these things or get where I’m coming from but if it’s touched you then please remember me in your daily prayers. I’ve been trying to get help but the enemy has asked to sift me as wheat so to speak, and for my entire life! I feel like I’ve been crying out my whole life and no one hears. Or people forget about me and stop t praying for me. So please pray. Thank you so much for your kindness.
🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for this reminder. How we need to be continually reminded of these truths. Peter in his second letter was reminding the saints of truths that he had taught them in the past which they already knew and were established in and yet he is once again reminding them shortly before his death. 2 Peter 1:12-14.
I am not saying that your death is approaching. 🤣
😄
😧...🤣🤣
Thank you for this reminder. I really needed it. ♥️
Thank you!!! I desperately needed this. I have been under heavy attack and this gives me help to withstand. Praise the Lord!!! Praise Father God!!! Praise Holy Spirit!!!
🙏
