JESUS THECONQUEROR!

00:00Episode 199: Jesus the Conqueror

Hello my dear friend, welcome to our episode 199, today September 2nd, 2026, the topic of today, Jesus the Conqueror. The reading comes from Matthew and Luke, there are some sections here that we will study today and we are reading only from Matthew this time.

00:23Prayer

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, please Lord, guide us through this study. Thank you, Jeho, for the scripture on the screen.

00:32The reading: Matthew 12:43-45

When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry places looking for a place to rest, but it finds none. So it says, "I will go back to the home I left." When it comes back, it finds that home still empty. It is all neat and clean. Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself. They all go and live there and that person has even more trouble than before. It is the same way with the evil people who live today.

01:15A sad story, and a great story

This is a sad story, but at the same time, it's a great story. Last week we talked about whether you are or not against the Lord Jesus. Today you will learn how powerful the Lord Jesus is.

01:31Demons can leave a person

Demons can leave a person. That is a fact. But the important question

01:38How do they come inside someone?

is, how do they come inside someone? Well, there are different sources. I'm going to quickly

01:44Witchcraft and Satanism

tell you. Number one is witchcraft and Satanism. People that are practicing all sorts of obscure things with witchcraft. To begin with simple games with a board or reading cards or reading the palm of your hands going to places where you know they are invoking evil spirits and even Satan. Of course. That would be the first way that people can become demon possessed.

02:17Alcohol and drugs

The second most common source of demon possession is alcohol and drugs. And it makes sense because anybody that is, for example, abusing pills, which is an addiction, their mind is not in the right place. Same thing happens with alcohol and drugs. You know, those things take control of the individual. Then is when demons are enjoying

02:43“Good people don't do that”

all that. I remember in one day, one day I was talking with someone about a particular thing. And I said, well, no, no alcohol and no drugs in that place. And I said, good people don't do that. And you know, this this lady said, well, pastor, I think you are wrong. Alcohol and drugs don't make people bad people. And I thought, obviously, you are ignorant or naive or you are practicing that because I don't know one person that is doing good things in life that is an alcoholic or drug addict. Anyway,

03:29Sexual relations

the third way that people can become infected with demons is through sexual relations. If someone is having sex with somebody else that has demons, there you go. And sadly, for some

03:44Generational curses: Deuteronomy 28

people that are generational curses, the Lord God says this in the scripture, check it yourself. Deuteronomy chapter 28, the first 14 verses, they talk about the blessings from God. The blessings from God. Deuteronomy 28, the blessings from God come by obeying the Word of God. The comments from God. But then after that, from that part to the end of the chapter, tons of verses talking about curses. And one of those is precisely what happens with people that they go into the dark side.

04:29Demons cannot multiply

Okay, so we know demons can leave a person. And that is what the Lord Jesus talked. He talked the story about this demon who left and came back. I want you to understand a couple of things about demons. First of all, they cannot multiply. They do not reproduce the number of demons or evil spirits that were created, that they came with Satan and that the time of the fall, they don't reproduce. They are limited in numbers. There are more people. That's why today what they do, the way that they are attacking

05:05Influencers

people is through influencers. So yes, you are right. TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and on and on, media, singers, movie stars, movies, you name it. All those influencers are controlled by demons and they are sending the message, sending the message that all bad things are good things. Homosexualism, lesbianism. All type of perversion, cheating, lying, etc. Everything that is anti-moral, that you hear everywhere, is the result of the influence of demons and people. But with that aside, the Lord

05:57No place to rest

Jesus that this demon couldn't find a place to rest because they can't rest. Satan is not in a peaceful place. Satan is in hell. Eventually, him, death, the beast, the false prophet, all the demons and evil doers are going to end up in the lake of fire. Right now, they are in hell.

06:19Do you think they are having fun?

Do you think that they are having fun? No, they are not. And everyone that has practiced evil things, they think at the moment that they are having fun. The drunk person thinks he's having fun. The one that is high thinks he's having fun. Whatever type of sexual perversion, they think they are having fun. And maybe it could be fun for a few seconds, minutes. But then, after that is a disaster. Satan, demons,

06:50Back to familiar territory

evil, they can't find a place to rest. They can't rest. But what they do when they are being cast out, they try to come back to familiar territories. That is what the Lord Jesus said. And this person represented that

07:10A house clean and neat, and empty

he said, "A house that is clean and neat." And that is the problem when the house is empty. That is what we are talking today about. You

07:21Without the Word of God in your mind

know, my friend, that when you don't have the word of God in your mind, when you are not thinking the right thing, it's similar to this particular situation. That explains why you like to remember certain things.

07:34Why you like to remember bad things

Why is it that you like to remember bad things you did in the past? And certainly you can have a little laugh when you talk about it with somebody. But the interesting thing is, why do you have to come back to those ideas? Aha!

07:54Demons can be persuading you

Demons can be persuading you. Images on TV, on a phone, conversations, names, whatever, and all that can lead you to go to that territory where evil and demons are very familiar with. It's very dangerous when you don't have in your mind the word of God. That's

08:18Fill yourself with the Bible

what you need to do. You need to fill yourself with the Bible. You need to start every day with the Bible. Through the day, you will continue filling yourself with worship music and Christian songs. And do not fill

08:33Back to the same places

your mind with evil. What is the story of people that they come back to the same websites? They come back to the same places. They keep saving the phone number of the guy selling the drugs or the person that they are going to do perverse things. And on the

08:51The caveman

other hand, you have individuals that they become a caveman. You know, it's not a good idea for you to be alone, isolated all the time. It is not a good idea. The Lord God didn't make you to be

09:07God's story is about family

isolated. Well, Pastor, you don't know my story. It's true. I don't know your story, but I know God's story. And God's story is about family. It's about relationships. It's about other humans. It's dangerous when you are isolated and you become a caveman. Eventually, the enemy can come and get you.

09:31Social engagement keeps you safer

But when you have social engagement, when you have communication with other people, especially Christians, and you are feeding your mind with good things, you will be safer. You know what

09:43Seven demons more evil

the Lord Jesus said here? That seven demons more evil might take over a life. Seven other demons that were even worse. That is how people that were bad came clean. They become even worse. Happens. It's a cycle because seven more demons are going to come

10:11The cycle

back. You know, some people go to rehab, and for a moment they are okay, but they don't do what is right. So they are even worse. People lose many things. We have tons of testimonies and stories of people that, unfortunately, they ended up really, really bad.

10:30Can we help?

Can we help? Of course we can help. You know, the Lord Jesus did something amazing. And I need to put you to read some

10:42Matthew 8 and Luke 8

in Matthew 8:28-34 and Luke 8:26-37, whenever you can, screenshot this video right now. Go. Matthew 8:28-34 and Luke 8:26-37. This is the story about someone,

11:01One man or two?

according with one gospel was one, according with the other were two. And this is something that I already explained, but quickly I will tell you why in one gospel says one and the other says two. It's simple because for one, what mattered was the fact. For the other writer, it was more accurate saying there were two guys. There is no inconsistency here. So therefore, let's go back to the point. Here, there was a conversation

11:31“My name is Legion”

and the demon said, "My name is Legion," which are more than 1,000, some people say 2,000 demons. It doesn't matter. The point is this individual or individuals that were in a cemetery naked, attached with chains, imagine the level of perversion of this individual, was not himself.

11:55Demons are real

Demons are real, my friend. And you know what they

12:01The abyss

didn't want to do? They didn't want to go to the abyss. If you read in Revelation 9, verses 1 and 2, 11:7, 17:8, 20:1 and 3, this place is a place that exists. And in Revelation, it talks as this is a place where Satan and the false prophet, the beast, all these evil characters in the Bible, they were coming in and out, in and out, that eventually there is where they are going to be trapped. By the power of God.

12:34What the abyss means

The definition of the abyss is an immeasurably deep gulf or great space, often used to describe a bottomless pit or a profound depth, both literally and figuratively.

12:50A hell of a life

People that are in hell and live in a hell of life, they are not there just because, my friend. First of all, remember, when someone is doing what is wrong, there are going to be consequences. Second, if someone, to the wrong things that they do, they do, pacts and connect with evil and demons, it's even worse. And their outcome is going to be terrible.

13:19Defeated by the name of Jesus

And yet, here's the Lord Jesus, casting out the demons of these guys and the other guy, and in all the cases that you read in the Gospel, and he cast out those demons and sent them to die, to be destroyed, to be captained, if you like. Defeated, period, by the power of the name of Jesus.

13:43Philippians 2:8-9

Philippians chapter 2 verse 8 and 9 says that Jesus humble himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on a cross. For this reason, God highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, the name of Jesus. Jesus is victorious, Jesus the conqueror.

14:08You can be set free

If you have been struggling with demon possession, demon influence, you know someone that is affected by these type of things. I want you to know that Lord Jesus is more powerful and you can be set free.

14:24The key: humble yourself

But the key is in this verse. It says that Jesus humble himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on a cross. I'm not saying you have to be crucified, literally, but you must need to humble yourself and become obedient to die to your own flesh and saying to God, "Lord God, here I am."

14:53Anybody can be set free

You can be set free. Anybody can be set free. Even if this person is in prison, even if this person is in a mental institution, even if this person lives in the streets, is a homeless, wherever the person is, there is no power against the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The name of Jesus, the power of our Lord Jesus Christ is real.

15:22Why they fight the preaching

It's so real that they know that when we preach the name of Jesus, the evil spirits and people that are influenced by them, they are going to go against the preaching. And that is why they contradict us. They try to stop us. And sometimes, funny thing, they use even fellow believers to attack true preachers because the enemy at the end is not interested in letting us share with the world the great news that Jesus is victorious, that Jesus is conqueror, that there is no other name at all, the name of Jesus.

16:15Glory to the name of Jesus

Glory to our Lord God Almighty. Glory to the name of Jesus. And I hope, my friend, that today you want sincerely to change the way that you are handling your life.

16:33Come to the light

It's not a joke. Evil and demons, they can hurt you. Don't go in that path, okay? Come to the light. Open your heart. Surrender to the Lord Jesus. Okay,

16:47A little humor

to change a little bit the theme, I want to tell you a little joke. It's a question though. What is the difference between a thief and a politician? Well, a thief steals your money and then runs, while the politician first runs and then steals your money. With no respect to the good politicians. Hey guys, said one day, "The worst thief ever came to my birthday party today." And I said, "Really? How come?" He says, "Well, I mean, I have seen other thieves hanging out, hanging out with us today, but this one took the cake."

17:39Episode 199
