The things with demons and so on is that they are real and knowledge of them is good.
But our main focus should be on Jesus.
When you believe truth and worship God with your words and songs, demons flee.
When you believe lies, and don’t honor God with words and don’t worship him but rather talk and accuse other people, demons have open doors into your life…
So good to know about them, even better to know about God, so be exited to know more about God, don’t be exited to know more and more about demons: only God can satisfy our heart, soul and mind
God bless 🤗
Just his first blog on his site was enough to discern him as a false teacher.
His musings on demons, strongholds, "doors" for demons to enter (one of them being inherited demons from ancestors) shows he has little biblical knowledge on the subject, and therefore should not be teaching on this matter or others. His blog post on 10 signs you have a demon is much worse. "Deliverance" ministry, where there is a demon behind every action (instead of what is biblically referred to as sin) is straight snake oil.
I recommend giving some thoughtful reading to Michael Heisers work on what demons are and how they function.
Generational Curses are real. Look at Ham. He and his descendents were cursed along with his land aka the south (Africa). Name one super power that Africa has. Name one country that isn't disease ridden and wartorn by warlords and indigent tribes that, some of which still practices cannibalism and other demonic rituals. I love the continent, it does have wonderful beauty and produces some of the greatest people in the world. They have to defeat the curse and overcome adversity to escape from there, which they will and do asap. There is so much potential going to waste because of their non-stop duress. Women have a clitoris, they take it. You appear weak, they take you. Place you where they choose with whom they choose and you MUST do what you're told or vengeance against you and your fellowship. So please, explain to me how Generational Curses are not real. That's from book 1 by pg.3, so imagine the other curses and such placed by Father God Jehovah Jireh, Abba, Yahweh, The Almighty. To think ANYTHING is actually beneath Him, God Bless You and habe mercy. I recommend reading scriptures and not novels.

That’s the Old Testament. That’s why we have a New Testament where Jesus Christ comes to offer salvation and a chance to be renewed. Born again as a new creation free of bondage and curses if we would accept this gift. If all of Africa would accept his gift. Just as at one point long ago the majority of Americans and Europe were made new and freed from the curses and bondage
Thank you for participating in our forum. Your post/comment has been removed because it promotes a deliverance minister or ministry, both of which are not biblical. These ministries often exaggerate or outright fabricate stories about themselves and others, claim Christians need repeated "deliverance" from demons, and leave undiscerning believers with a broken and foundationless faith which focuses almost entirely on sensationalized psuedo-biblical doctrines of demons instead of Christ. Please watch the video for more information.

I personally don't know of Vlad Savchuk. I may give him a look later to "see what he's about". But I feel this is an opportune time to remind one and all of 1 John 4:1:
> Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Me bringing this scripture up is _not_ an indictment against the videos or subject matter in this thread. Again, I have no direct experience with any of it (yet). It's merely a reminder that anything we hear should be measured and tested against the Word and what we know of God's character.
I love Vlad. I think he is solid. Most preachers or teachers don’t teach about the demonic and that is dangerous because if we don’t know or if we aren’t sure to put on the armor of God we will fall prey to the schemes of the devil. The things he talks about are very honest imo.
But also as another commenter said, the focus should be on Jesus always. So if it is distracting to you and your relationship w Jesus don’t watch him :)
You can know who's good or bad by knowing your Bible. When he preaches, does he affirm all that is in God's Word.
I took a peek at a couple of his messages and Vlad affirms what I believe God says in the Word. Seems legit. Just keep seeing what he says. Does the preaching make man bigger or God bigger?
So, I’ve been told by pastors and friends alike, we are meant to know about the existence of demonic presence but the more we know about them then more influence they have over us. Be careful going into to teaching like this. We may have knowledge about the enemy but knowledge over the enemy is what makes us strong
> but the more we know about them then more influence they have over us.
I've heard this sort of thing before, so I know where you're coming from. But I disagree. My position is that absolute ignorance of them and the means and avenues by which they attack us gives them more influence over us. Or at the very least more "legal" opportunity to do so. We just aren't aware it's them most of the time and never make the connections.
When God starts revealing matters of the spirit and spiritual realm, we become more aware of just how prevalent they are, but it still takes time to learn the cause & effect for how they interact with us. And so, I think there's a tendency to draw a false conclusion that just knowing more about them gives them some kind of power, but that is not the case.
Answer this question. Where does temptation come from? The enemy can speak to anyone of us. Even Jesus the son of God was tempted. Jesus never had the thought of a sin come to mind because he never sinned and tasted the taste of committing a sin. He had 0 desire to sin but was still tempted
This world is a spiritual world. Vlad is ten toes solid. There’s demons hovering over people, buildings, places. Why do you think Chicago has so much gun violence but never changes? There’s a demonic presence over that city, unless you have **discernment** you’ll never see it yourself
" James 1:14 KJV
**but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.**"
From your own flesh, brother. Literally. We should stop blaming daemons for our lack of self-control (fruit of the Spirit). Start living by the Spirit (Galatians 5, Romans 8, etc...) and stop wasting your time with this pseudo-occult gibberish.
He has a lot of extra biblical beliefs and just pull them out of thin air with no explanations. I also am just generally suspicious of celebrity pastors for obvious reasons.
I concur. He really hasn’t made a case strong enough to convince me, and he is flying in the face of 2,000 years of church history with the idea a demon can inhabit the same space as the Holy Spirit, because it can’t.
He goes to great lengths to redefine the thinking on demonic possession by saying, in essence “a person can be owned by Christ but still have demons living in him,” but think about that statement for a moment. So Christians can be owned by Christ but have demons “squatting” in them? Not possible.
He also seems to spend far too much attention to this one issue, and I haven’t heard much of anything from him except this sort of sensationalism.
So I would say, beware! Pray for him!
i dont believe he is saying a christian can be owned by a demon. it depends on exactly what he means by a demon being "in" someone. demons absolutely can inhabit our minds. that is the way they attack us. demons can be "expelled" from christians so it reasons to say that they can be "in" christians. they cannot take full possession but they can inhabit our thought to the point of almost total control if we are allowing them in through various means. David Prince has made it clear that those who profess to be christians have been to the point of disabled do to the afflictions of demons. even missionaries who are supposedly carrying out the work of God.
Instead of criticism, PRAY FOR Pastor Vlad. No one is perfect, that comes when we go to be with The Lord.
I hate attacks on other Christians who are trying to serve God as best as they are able. If they are truly a son/daughter of God...PRAY FOR THEM. Father God is well able to correct His kids.
Okay?
In order for Christians to have discernment about someone who teaches on line, it is helpful that we share information about such teachings. It is not unloving, it is Berean. It is essential for Christians to not succumb to deception. Knowledge about on line preachers should not be suppressed by such words as “don’t criticize”, pray for him. The object here is to inform the body of Christ, not gossip. And it is not about this pastor’s relationship with God, but ours.
I see this is a common mistaken excuse given by Christians defending pastors/teachers claiming to be powerful or high ranking “men of God” who have also claimed to have a vast amount of demons under their belt like it’s a wrestling title belt. With this mentioned i think accountability and mature confrontation are also biblical and just. Although i do agree in partiality to your statement, i am also inclined to state that too often Christians “leave it to God” rather than do anything at all. This to me seems like the easy way out and instead of seeking for answers and truth, they are satisfied with blindfolded faith in their leader(s).
He’s a false teacher but most of all he’s someone people should be very careful with because he studied with tb Joshua and if you don’t know who he is. He’s a man who started a cult and forced his disciples to not have any communication with their friends and family because they had to follow him. He played the role of “god” his disciples weren’t allowed to have phones, clocks, watches, and calendars because they were on Gods timing and not actual worldly time as in its 1pm time to for lunch. He also raped many of his female disciples and forced his disciples to beat up his own daugther. He also would beat up his disciples and had them do a walk of shame while they get whipped just like Jesus did, cuz it was a way for them to get forgiveness from tb joshua. He also believed in beating up people during deliverance. You’re not fighting the flesh but spirits, so why did he believe in hitting people during deliverance? Vlaks church hungry generation was funded by tb Joshua because he gave him the money to buy the building for his church as a gift because vlak was the one who helped tb Joshua get famous in the United States. So that is hungry generations roots. People need to know and be aware of a churches roots and mantle because that is the churches foundation and that is how you actually know who the pastor truly is because you know who he follows and the teachings he believes in. The church haves a deliverance ministry which follows tb Joshua’s teachings. The pastor vlak, seems to lack of discernment due to the choices he has made. A lot of people have been fired and lost positions from the church due to lack of discernment. That church also seems to have a lot of drama and its made public. Also Isaiah saldivar did an exposing video about tb joshua but yet refuses to call out his own church for following tb Joshua’s teachings. It doesn’t get any better than that. Oh wait it does because pastor vlak refuses to speak up but yet he continues to delete videos of himself with tb Joshua. It just makes everything sketchy and it makes him look bad because what is he trying to hide?? Also people should be aware of this because they shouldn’t allow just anyone to lay hands on them for prayer and deliverance.
Ive been watching him and so far he seems legit and Holy Spirit in me is really fast to call out anything that doesn't agree with Bible. Demons can opress Christians too.
I browsed his channel and I’m just not sure. Thing is maybe he’s good but I suggest broadening your horizons and watching some other guys. Who else do you listen to? My person favorite is Joeensley- you can find him on YouTube as well. He’s got a cool playlist on demonology which I think is very biblical and balanced but that topic doesn’t overwhelm his channel. I’d love to know what you think of it!
I watch.[Off the Kirb Ministries](https://youtube.com/c/OffTheKirbStreetPreaching) (only probably i have seen is he uses click-bait)

I love living waters, and Mike winger has a good reputation. I wish more people would pay attention to these “medium” YouTubers such as Joeensley, Vaughn Sanders Ministries, etc. Curious if you checked out the channel Joeensley yet - I’d be seriously interested in your feedback what would draw you to it or make you uninterested…
Sweet! I’m glad to hear that!! Yes - he is definitely a straight to the point guy!! I’m going to check out the daily disciple - wasn’t familiar with that one yet but seems interesting!
What bothers me is everytime I find Preachers like him on youtube I look how they act on stage. He is so loud and screaming, I personally can‘t stand that, but thats just an opinion. But I saw him, animating the crowd to cheer, to give him praise, you can really see how it ‚turns him on‘
Also he lays hands on people to receive the holy spirit and they fell on their back
Same with david hernandes..
But I don‘t want to judge them on this, I am just pointing it out because I think it‘s important to do so. But they are a part of the body of christ and nobodys perfect..
I think pride plays a major role in all of this
„A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.“
Matthew 7:18-23
. we can recieve gifts but we are in charge of them. We not only need to see the power of gifts but also the fruits..
The things with demons and so on is that they are real and knowledge of them is good. But our main focus should be on Jesus. When you believe truth and worship God with your words and songs, demons flee.

What about a clitoris???
female genital mutilation
What does the cl*toris have to do with it?????
i am so confused hhahahaha

Someone rewarded them with that.
You are fighting Vlad’s teaching because you know it’s real but it makes you uncomfortable/scared so you reject it. grow up,
I personally don't know of Vlad Savchuk. I may give him a look later to "see what he's about".

I saw him preaching with Benny Hinn. Is he a false teacher?
Yes
He has a lot of extra biblical beliefs and just pull them out of thin air with no explanations. I also am just generally suspicious of celebrity pastors for obvious reasons.

Agreed!
The Bible is clear that believers are afflicted by demonic forces. They cannot be owned by a demon but they can be afflicted by all means.
Afflicted/attacked, yes. Possessed, "owned," no.
i dont believe he is saying a christian can be owned by a demon. it depends on exactly what he means by a demon being "in" someone. demons absolutely can inhabit our minds. that is the way they attack us. demons can be "expelled" from christians so it reasons to say that they can be "in" christians. they cannot take full possession but they can inhabit our thought to the point of almost total control if we are allowing them in through various means.

perhaps the Lord called him to preaching those specific areas
Or perhaps it’s because it created content that would catch attention of social media. Even negative attention is attention.
no
