Demon Slayers On Drinking Alcohol | TD Jakes Update | What do we REALLY know about Nephilim?

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,500
Do they drink? The Demon Slayers share what Christians should know about alcohol.

2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,300
And what do we really know about the Nephilim?

3
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:15,200
Plus, three things you need to know about Bishop TD Jakes and spiritual drama in schools.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,500
I'm John Madarazzo for CharismaNews.com and this is your Midweek Rundown.

5
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:22,900
Elementary school offering Satanic Studies

6
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:27,600
An elementary school in Marysville, Ohio is offering a Satanic Studies program.

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,000
The Hellion Academy of Independent Learning, HALE,

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,500
program serves as a religious release period for children.

9
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:39,000
The Satanic Temple operates the program.

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,400
June Everett, described by NBC4 as the campaign director for after school Satan Club

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,200
and an ordained minister for the Satanic Temple, said a parent reached out to the Satanic Temple

12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,800
requesting a program be implemented at the school.

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,700
He said, we aren't trying to shut the Lifewise Academy down,

14
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:05,000
but I do think a lot of school districts don't realize when they open the door for one religion,

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,600
they open it for all of them.

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:15,500
Very interesting about this issue and what this makes me think of is that parents need to get actively involved

17
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:19,700
with what's going on in their schools. Run for school board if you can.

18
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,600
Get involved with what's happening at your schools.

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,000
Because if as they said, if one religion is able to get in, then all religions are.

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
So we do want prayer in schools. We do want God in schools,

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,600
but we want to make sure that our kids are having the right education.

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600
And so that's why we need to be active involved with that.

23
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:46,500
Another school is actually canceling Handel's Messiah performance amid controversy over Christian music.

24
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:52,100
A school in Finland has canceled a concert of Handel's Messiah performed by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra

25
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:59,300
and the Helsinki Chamber Choir over concerns the recitals Christian themes might offend some students.

26
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:06,600
Officials with the school hosting the concert in question made the decision after learning about a case

27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:14,400
in another Finnish city where a child objected to songs about the life of Jesus performed at an undisclosed school.

28
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,900
Ultimately, the National Non-Discrimination and Equity Tribunal decided the non-Christian pupils

29
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:28,700
should be compensated one thousand five hundred euros or one thousand five hundred and sixty two dollars converted

30
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:33,100
for their for their offense. Local outlets reported.

31
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:36,800
However, the school decided to vote six to five.

32
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,700
No payment was due to the school to the offended school students.

33
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:44,800
So in one school, we have a Satan Club coming in and another school.

34
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,300
We have the Handel's Messiah leaving again.

35
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:54,100
Get involved with what's happening in your schools and that's how we're going to help save our kids.

36
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,600
What do we really know about the Nephilim?

37
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,000
The Bible talks about them, but we don't.

38
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
In a world increasingly fascinated by the unexplained, the supernatural and the bizarre Tony Markle's recent interview

39
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,400
with Charisma Media that was a fun one offers a unique lens through which to explore old age mysteries

40
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,000
with topics ranging from Bigfoot to Nephilim.

41
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,900
Markle unpacked theories that challenge conventional thinking, raising questions about what lies beneath the surface

42
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:21,900
of our modern rational worldview.

43
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:27,000
Markle states that there are people who believe that their bloodline comes from Nephilim.

44
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,100
He says it's referenced by the Rh negative blood type found in about 15 percent of the global population,

45
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:39,400
noting that 90 percent of those 15 percent of people tend to have paranormal encounters.

46
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,700
Is there a connection between ancient accounts of the Nephilim and modern day experiences of the supernatural?

47
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:51,200
Markle and many others who study the matter, such as Elie Marzulli, certainly think so.

48
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,000
I highly recommend clicking the link in this description and let us know what you think in the comments.

49
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,300
Now, what Christians should know about alcohol.

50
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:05,100
In a recent Demon Slayer podcast with Isaiah Saldivar, Mike Signorelli, Vlad Sadchuk and Alexander Pagani,

51
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:10,100
one of the topics that the group discussed was alcohol consumption and a Christian believer.

52
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:13,800
Answering the question of whether or not Christians should consume alcohol,

53
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,900
the group provided biblical keys about why followers of Jesus should be wary of it.

54
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:25,700
No, I don't drink. And the reason I don't drink one, God delivered me from it, said Isaiah Saldivar.

55
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:31,600
Is there a genetic predisposition for alcoholism in either your mother or your father's side?

56
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,600
He points out that there is research showing that alcohol can be dangerous to the body.

57
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800
He says, my second question would be, do you believe science?

58
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,600
And number three, do you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit when you do it?

59
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,900
Vlad Sadchuk says that alcohol doesn't measure up in the way that it promises to.

60
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:52,400
And the group says that it interferes with God's purpose to have fellowship with him.

61
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,800
The Bible also says I'm expected to have a sober mind.

62
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,700
How can I have a sober mind if my body is not sober?

63
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,800
Let us know in the comments what you think about should Christians drink alcohol.

64
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,700
And an update on Bishop T.D. Jakes.

65
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:09,000
Three things you need to know.

66
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,700
Number one, Jakes revealed that he had an emergency surgery

67
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:19,700
and a virtual message to the Potter's House family that has since been placed on Jakes's Instagram.

68
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:25,200
He recounts how he went through the surgery calling his life a miracle.

69
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,900
Jakes says, I'm grateful for God's faithfulness.

70
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,800
I'm grateful for your faithfulness.

71
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,900
I'm grateful for the season of my life.

72
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,700
I told you last Sunday that I'd see you this Sunday.

73
00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:37,400
So here I am.

74
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,200
I'm grateful to God for his goodness and his mercy and grace.

75
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Many of you don't realize that you are looking at a miracle.

76
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,500
Jakes says he faced a life threatening calamity.

77
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:55,200
He was rushed to the ICU, had emergency surgery, survived the surgery and says I'm back.

78
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,600
The second thing that we need to know is that Jakes did not suffer from a stroke.

79
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,600
But that the results would have been fatal without the intervention of God.

80
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,700
We're very grateful that God intervened.

81
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:12,900
And third, Jakes health scare comes at a time when he filed a defamation lawsuit against Dwayne Youngblood.

82
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:17,200
According to the Christian Post, Jakes filed a defamation suit against Youngblood,

83
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,500
a former pastor turned registered sex offender.

84
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:25,900
Jakes filed the suit after Youngblood alleged that Jakes tried to groom and sexually abuse him

85
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:31,200
during an October 28th, 2024 interview on the Larry Reed Live show.

86
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,200
The lawsuit is 20 pages long and is rather detailed.

87
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,500
But things that you need to know is that the suit further describes how Youngblood returned to the Larry Reed Live

88
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:45,900
for a part two on November 3rd to speak more about Jakes.

89
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:51,300
And from the start to finish, Youngblood's tale of grooming and attempted sexual assault

90
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:55,200
at the hands of Bishop Jakes is patently false.

91
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:01,600
Bishop Jakes never kissed or tried to kiss Youngblood, never cornered him or forced him into any situation,

92
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,300
sexual or otherwise, the suit continued.

93
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:13,000
The interactions described by Youngblood during his LRL interviews on October 28th and November 3rd never happened, period.

94
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Now you can read the lawsuit yourself by clicking the link in the description

95
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,500
and then reading the article and clicking the link here as well.
