Summary

On a communion Sunday the pastor opens with a personal story: twice in his life he was badly poisoned, once in Warsaw while visiting refugees and once in India after eating at a fast-food chain. From there he asks whether a person can be poisoned spiritually, and answers plainly that they can. Spiritual poison is no less deadly than the physical kind, and it shows up when someone stops reading the Bible, stops praying, and stops gathering with the church.

He points to four places where poison gets in: unhealthy fellowship even inside the church, false teaching and false preachers, the wrong company with its idle conversations, and most dangerous of all, the internet. He also names four symptoms of a poisoned soul: a critical spirit toward everyone and everything, constant irritation and impatience, insisting that things go only your own way, and a deadened heart that no longer cares about anything.

The cure is to cut off the source, guarding what we see, hear, and speak, then to go deep into the Word of God and to pray. He recalls the pot of death that was healed when flour was added through Elisha, since flour is bread and bread is the Word of God, and the bronze serpent lifted up by Moses, where everyone who looked in faith was healed. In the same way the bread and cup of the Lord's Supper, received in faith, bring cleansing and healing, because only the blood of Jesus can neutralize the poison of sin.

Key Points

  • Spiritual poison is real and, like physical poison, it can be deadly when we stop reading Scripture, praying, and gathering with the church.
  • Poison enters through four channels: harmful fellowship, false teaching, the wrong company, and most dangerously the internet.
  • Watch for the symptoms of a poisoned soul: a critical spirit, constant irritation, demanding your own way, and a cold heart that no longer cares.
  • The first step to recovery is cutting off the source by guarding what you see, hear, and speak.
  • Saturate yourself in the Word of God; like flour in Elisha's pot, it neutralizes the poison.
  • Prayer carries great power, so bring your wound straight to God.
  • Look in faith to the cross; the blood of Jesus is the only true antidote, and the bread and cup received in faith bring cleansing and healing.

Devotional

Take an honest inventory today of what is feeding your soul. What you watch, read, and listen to is either nourishing your faith or slowly poisoning it. When you sense bitterness, a critical edge, or a numb and careless heart, do not fight it in your own strength but run to the Word and to prayer. Look in faith to the cross, where the blood of Jesus still cleanses and heals, and ask Him to guard your eyes, ears, and lips.

You can be poisoned in your body, but the soul can be poisoned too, and that kind of poison can kill.
Cut off the source, soak in the Word, and pray; that is the cure for a poisoned soul.
The blood of Jesus is the only antidote that no laboratory could ever make.

brothers and sisters I'm greeting you with the love of Jesus [Music] Christ today God blessed us with guests you will see them soon at the end we'll have a prayer for healing for any our daily needs that we might have and it's a tremendous desire that we have that the holy spirit with his presence would visit us here today you know we have a very uh important service today it has a deep meaning we remember the suffering of our Jesus Christ but what's important that he mentioned to us those that drink his blood those that eat his bread will have eternal life I'm going to read from the book of John 3:2 and Below 13 in [Music] for [Music] for [Music] praise be to the Lord in my very short sermon that I'll share with you today and the topic is are you being poisoned spiritually you know in my life I had two terrible poisonings one time when I was in in warsa we were visiting refugee camps and it turns out there was some kind of infection in this building where those refugees were many children many people especially children they were taken to the hospital as I know that I did not eat food from over there but I did drink tea but I was poison terribly it was such a uh you know difficult for me that I thought I'm going to pass uh uh uh I'm going to die and you know in my heart I I love this thought that the person who started this war would maybe go through something similar that I did and it was really in my heart and you know the second thing it was when I was in India you know usually we don't eat when we travel to countries such as [Music] this KFC but when we on the way to the mountains we saw this American food chain KFC you know we forgot that it is an American chain but the the food that's being served there is locally grown and I was poisoned the second time in the mountains were very Steep and it was hard to get up and you know what really kind of like got to me is that on the way there there was a lot of monies I I do I I despise animals such as this and you know those are the two times that I was spoiled in my life but if you were to ask me a question where I ever poison spiritually and I would say yes you know people who are poison spiritually they can even die from that just like from physical people could die from the spiritual they do not read Bible they don't go to church they don't pray and you might ask a question how can you be poisoned where is that place and I would like to tell you there is four areas or there is four places where you can get poison you can actually get poison in chur because if you start to have a fellowship with the person that is Po I noticed that the person that is is is poisonous they like to they have this tendency to SPO to spoil others the second thing is by listening to the wrong Doctrine from Fault to FSE go the internet is full of false prophets and preachers and it's also one of the places where people can get poisoned by their sermon you know the third place where you can get poison is in the in the fellowship of people or the company your friends and during those those conversations different topics would come up but the the dirtiest place where people can get poison is of course the internet I would like to say something and listen [Music] carefully when Bible was translated into electronic format and it's available online people started to read Bible more or less it is proven that 30% less people are reading Bible these days but I'm going to give you the reason why because if you take an actual Bible into your hands the Wonder here here at the ppit and if you turn left or right you still end up in the word of God even if you go to this song uh Song of Songs it's still the word of God because you can start easily with the Bible but end up who knows where but the dirtiest and the most dangerous place is internet and you might ask a question how do I know what are the symptoms that I was poison and there is the four symptoms of a spiritual poisoning when you start to criticize every everything and everyone when you criticize church when you criticize people when you are irritated you're not patient you you you're not calm when you just think of the way things needs to be done the way you think the way you want it and the fourth one is when you don't care and you you don't want to do anything because that's you're almost dead nothing is really interest you and somebody ask a question how do you come out of this spiritual poisoning and the first thing you need to cut off the the channel the source of your poison because everything comes through what we see through what we hear through what we speak and go deep into the word of God and spend a lot of time in it when prophets went into galal there was many of them that ENT and in that place there was a famine and some people they wanted to cook some food they found some vegetables and they decided they're going to and somebody says do not eat it it's poisonous and what Elijah said did all he did he just added more flour and it's neutralized any kind of poisoning there was in there but flour it is bread it is the word of God that's why prescription for you is the word of God is the word of God anywhere you go you would just read and spend in the word of God and the third is prayer because it has such a tremendous power when Israel was going into the Promised Land they were complaining about God they were not happy and God send those snakes and they were biting them and Bible says they were just laying dead and dying and Moses he was troubled and he wanted he was asking God what should I do and he turns to God and says you need to make a U um cop uh a snake made out of copper and put it up that everyone could see and everyone that would look at it with faith would receive healing you know it is very hard to understand logically would it is difficult to understand these snakes they are biting this poison goes into your body but the moment you look with the faith on this on this snake that is being put up by Moses you're are getting healed immediately and today this supper it is has tremendous power for all of us today when you're going to take up this bread and wine with faith and you will digest it your body it's a possibility for you to receive healing there was in a in the last century there was this disease Osa that a lot of people died as a result of that but they noticed that Shepherds that were shepherding cows they did not they were not getting sick with that it it turns out when this disease would go into the cow the disease would produce a lot of saliva and that saliva would produce a lot of antibodies and it would fall onto the hands of and those Shepherds they would not get sick and they were alive and out of the blood of those cows they started making the the vaccine for this disease you know those people that uh are from Soviet Union they have this Mark on their hand because it's one of those Vines that's how it was overcame but before as we have much more powerful vaccine that is ever possible you could never comprehend this and I always been puzzled by this how does the the wounds of Jesus Christ he there is no physical or any [Music] unexplanatory and today in this prayer you pray say Lord please neutralize with your precious blood all this poison that is in my soul please cleanse me please clarify me give me power to to to close all the source of this poison in my life give me power to have control over my eyes or with my ears or my lips trust me if you try to do this on your own strength you will not be successful it's only possible with the blood of Jesus Christ only he gives us the only in him we have anointing I like to invite you to stand up and pray together for [Music] [Music] for amen I

one of my son-in-laws were was in a different area when they had the first attack he jumped out of his car and right there a tank destroyed his whole car and three months ago my third son-in-law they killed him in the war we were crying for three weeks very very hard and I lived to the point where my tears ended you know my children with their wives they sent us here to America we've been in America more than a month and your brothers asked me here to your church service and I go around preaching and it's easier for me to stand against this I thank you for all your prayers and support praise be to our God I'm going to say a short sermon and I I invite you to listen with your heart it's written Whoever has ears let him hear but you have to listen in such a way that it would go through your ears into your heart and in just a little bit we'll pray for the spiritual and the physical health of the church in the apostolic churches and right now you know it was a very common thing people would praise God they would learn from the word and they would pray spiritually very strongly we had praise we had prayers we had the communion and just a little bit more word and then to prayer amen amen are you here maybe somebody's here the first time I invite you to listen very carefully because Jesus Christ is Lord he is Lord amen amen I I'm reading two scriptures from Colossians I myself an Evangel an evangelist I preach a lot to unsaved people but right now I'm in a church the people born from a mountain brothers and sisters the gospels needed for the world so they could be saved and the gospel is needed for the church so the church would be strengthened it would get stand up in the spirit they would be transformed to Jesus Christ and once again and again they would bring fruit for the kingdom of godu Amen let's read brothers and sisters it's the first chapter in Colossians we're reading chapter 1 verses 13 and 14 he's um he's reading from a Russian Bible can you put up Colossians chapter 1: 13 and 14 please [Music] my sermon is about Jesus Christ do we know who is the greatest that came on the earth it is Jesus Christ do we know who is the bravest that came on this Earth Brave think about it Jesus Christ would you go into a village if you knew they would kill you there I think of myself as a brave person I'm not afraid of of Satan or death but but if they told me go into that Village they're going to kill you there I think that I probably wouldn't go there what about you but Jesus Christ he went Jesus Christ left Heaven he did this willingly and the big reason was that God became a man so that he could understand people God became a person he left heaven and came to Earth you know do you understand what I'm saying it's not simple like for us maybe leaving America going to Africa and knowing what it is to not have water and have all these [Music] diseases but to leave heaven and come down to earth is even more difficult and I want to say this so that we would all understand that he came down to earth for to us to the Fallen lost of of Adam we need to know that in all the universe we are needed to no one only to God we are needed only for God and our family if they love us but there's different circumstances amen amen we are needed to God and so the good news tells us Jesus Christ came down to earth for us and Jesus Christ lived more than 30 years for us he didn't live for himself he didn't collect and earn money he didn't have this life that we have he left the Earth and he didn't take anything with him so Jesus Christ lived for us the gospel teaches us that Jesus Christ he served and he continues to serve us if you believe it say Amen every day where there's Mercy you have food and water you have blessing you have everything that you need for life and all of it is by the hand of the almighty God hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah we need to know how to see this and love it the gospel also says that Jesus Christ suffered on Earth he suffered you know it takes a lot of time to talk about this he suffered from people from the Pharisees from his family from the Romans from the soldiers from the sword from the crown of thorns from Death the whole list we have the service of communion today us Christians must always remember always remember who is your savior who is is your lord who do you live for thank the one you live for and the one who gave you it all and I think all of America and even this in this service we have to thank Jesus Christ amen amen amen amen amen God knows that we are wise children we see this and we we value it God is open to us that Jesus Christ suffered the greatest suffering from these sufferings some people died Jesus went through it all he suffered and we need to know we really need to know that there was no reason no fault in him to suffer this way Jesus Christ suffered in our place amen amen in our place they killed him they put him down they hurt him he did all of this in our place place they nailed him to the cross the the Believers of that time well they were religious people of that time they were suffering through him for three years and after three years of of being with Jesus they killed him the greatest people on earth God's people on Earth they killed the Son of God after three years the very the most difficult death it's not just death but they took him through great suffering and he went through it all Jesus did not break he stayed in the will of God and he had a great salvation and you know he lost a lot of blood it says he suffered great wounds my dear beloved they they hit him many times his face was beaten on his head they had these these wounds from the crown of thorns you know his back his shoulders his legs were beaten they pierced his hands and feet they nailed him to the tree he was hanging my beloved for hours with blood dripping down and we must always know and remember that this commandment was for us right now that when we partake in this bread and this cup we we Proclaim it to one another who suffered for us who saved us who poured out his blood for us Jesus Christ the son of the Living God amen amen amen amen amen and amen amen amen my friends the scripture teaches us that the Son of God suffered for man not just for people but for the sinful lost people I understand you we were Mar you're in America you know you're very clean dressed nicely you know you might think very good thoughts my good ones we are bad evil Sinners but we are Redeemed by our God you know not one time did come up to me and grab me by the chest they said what's the difference between you and I I said you are a sinner and I said and I am a sinner and they like that but only I I'm saved but you not yet I have repented but you not yet I already Walk With Jesus but you still think what will you do because you can only be saved in Jesus Christ and there is no other name there is no other name no gold or silver no King no computers the savior is only Jesus Christ amen amen and amen do you understand how I'm preaching you know sometimes in Ukraine I say it this way um do you understand how I'm I don't know how to translate that how I'm laying out my thought do you understand how I'm laying out my thought you know he did that on purpose for me the translator the the children they don't sometimes they don't understand what I'm saying you know maybe you don't understand maybe you do but my main thought is our savior is Jesus Christ The Hope for all churches is Jesus Christ the hope for all of Israel is Jesus Christ and the hope for all the teachers of this world is also Jesus Christ Hallelujah Hallelujah Jesus Christ and that's very important so Jesus he suffered for us my friends we also know that Jesus Christ he died for us do you understand that we are so responsible you know we're so troubled before God that all people are evil worthy of death but to save people and keep them alive and also give them eternal life also the life of Kings also eternity also a New Jerusalem and also to sit on the throne with Jesus Jesus did everything for that to find us to save us everything he forgives that's how great are Jesus is hallelujah hallelujah Jesus is alive Jesus Christ he lives in your and my life you know what is a great truth that Jesus Christ is in US in US Hallelujah Hallelujah Jesus Christ is with us no matter where I go he's with me and in Romans it's written Jesus Christ is for us that Satan tries to get up Armies come up everything comes up you know sickness comes up and everything's against us there's no problem because Jesus Christ is for us amen and we sing in Ukraine that with Jesus I will go and with Jesus I'll make it to the end Jesus Christ is King of Kings and so he came for us he lived for us he served for us he suffered for us he poured out his blood for us he suffered his wounds for us for us he died for us and he resurrected for our Redemption Jesus Christ resurrected Amen to close all these questions he has the title savior hallelujah hallelujah and you know even in Paradise you had problems right away you had these problems that was Satan that was sin and that was death you know people lived 6,000 years and these three problems are still to this day no money no other things no prisons they cannot save people not from Satan not from sin not from death but the greatest news here on this Earth it's to all people that the Savior for all people and from Satan and from sin and from death and from sickness and from problem is our Jesus Christ amen amen Jesus Christ and I believe him I believe him and we believe him you know these brothers are great brothers sitting here I know them all and I'll go with them you know these are amazing people but they cannot save thems and they cannot save me that's why I only believe them a little bit and a little bit less for you and for myself even less but I believe the one who loves me who is for me who protects me who blesses me and who looks after me right now he's in heaven and he's in in me he looks after me and he thinks about me let's say Amen praise be to God you know I just started talking and it's time to pray let's all say praise be to the Lord you know do you understand what I'm preaching you know some a lot of children I have to say this they ask why Church listen carefully we receed Jesus to be saved and when we received Jesus and were saved Jesus puts us in our second position that is called The Church there is the world but here is the church and we must know that Jesus the church and the prophets are from God they're in the church and why in the church because God has to protect the saved ones and God Jesus Christ will save the church he has servants that help him look after the church the ones that look after after the church that look after the church feed the church the whole time they teach and teach and teach so that we weren't just saved you know in Catholic and Orthodox Churches they have this one saying very little teaching and people in church became they they come and they just go good thing we're not in a Catholic church but we're in an Evangelical Church we need to be in church that's one and not only just to read but also to study and to learn so that the whole time our heart was filled with the word the word not the news listen to me I'm from Ukraine all the news from certain parts of Ukraine and Russia are a big lie and all the news in Ukraine are are not even the full truth and even the news in your place over here there's there's just a little bit of truth but there's still lies but the best truth is the Gospel of Jesus Amen you know if the brother or sister will eat from this do you understand what I am saying you know do you understand listen very carefully you have to listen we have to see and be able to explain this to Children you know what was talked about you know that's that's poison and and our we have to be in church one and have a lot of word that's two you know you might say how much and I'll say a lot and I can't even explain it I'll tell you a bad example you know it's a lot of word but a bad example you know I haven't seen him a lot here but in Ukraine we have a lot of drunkards you know some people drink once or twice in a week but then there's some people that drink every day if they have money they'll drink a couple times a day you know there's some people that drink day and night you know some people drink so much that it leads them to death and I asked him how much can you drink he said I'll always drink however much I will drink until I die you know that's the place of the sin do you understand you know that's a negative example but when we're New Creations in Jesus Christ you know he looks for sin but we look for God and His word there must be a lot and more and more you know there sin will kill a person but here the word of God is the power of God how much more word you have the more wisdom the more grace and power of God in the world the sin takes you down but in Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit and the word takes you up amen amen up so I'll repeat we we must be in church that's one we must have a lot of the word that's two and we have to have a lot of prayer that's three we have to have a lot of prayer and we have to be filled with the spirit of L with God's holy spirit you will say how much how much until we don't become like the one who is greatest in the universe do you understand me do you know what God thinks not just so that you would be saved but in the church you would grow you would be transformed and you would look like Jesus amen amen not on the on the Jew not in an Arab not like a millionaire in the church you must grow and be transformed to look like the image of Jesus Christ and everyone said amen may God help us it's very important we just have to understand you know I've said a lot of times but I want to repeat you know this is something the mother has to tell the children we have come into this world and we brought nothing you know we'll have all different kinds of lives but one day we will leave this place and we cannot take anything nothing you know we are just Travelers here and we must understand these questions and we must live correctly here this life if you understand let's all say amen and number one we must be saved and the Commandment is we must value what has been given to us that's two and we must be greater in Jesus Christ but someone will say oh churches are like this and like that stop looking over there stop look up there look up there read here be filled here because if I don't grow correctly in Jesus we will begin to look like the Pharisees the ones that don't go on missions Pharisees are never joyful it's always something wrong for them Jesus has this kind of church but for them it's not the right way Jesus is saving people but it's still not right for them Jesus is healing people it's still wrong for them and I already noticed one in a thousand in our people they have it like that where they're not filled and not reading the word and I'm looking wow they're kind of like a Pharisee for them everything's wrong Jesus isn't right the gospel isn't right and salvation isn't right do you understand me praise God that you don't have those kind you know even the place here is called different hallelujah hallelujah Clear Water you know the time has passed we will be saying amen let's all say together God help us to grow in the church to be filled in the spirit to receive a lot of the word and Jesus to be transformed to look like you amen amen you know today evangelist was preaching to you you know there's Pastor sitting over there but this is an evangelist you know I'm also aor you know sometimes I'm even a teacher you know but God helped us and we were able to have this service today with you you know right now we'll have two prayers you know the first prayer we will pray for your body for your heart so that God would bless you he would Breathe on you and heal you and spiritually and physically do you understand we believe that Jesus Christ is here and when we call people to the front to the altar we're calling them to him not to us but to him and we he said so that we would pray and bless and in all churches and you must know that a good synonym for the word church this is the station from God where people are saved it's not a Christian Club no no no that's not where they just you know maybe encourage one another this is the station from God where people are redeemed from sin from Satan from sickness from problems the station of Jesus Christ amen amen so it's normal for Jesus for a lot of people to come to the front and we pray but Jesus answers amen amen and I have another question the second prayer the second prayer is does anyone need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit praise be to God oh look work so we'll just have one prayer I ask invite you to stand for everything we hear we'll say amen and I ask you whoever needs a prayer from the church for healing please come to the front stand in one line facing us one line stand like this in one line facing the front while you're coming up I'll talk to the ones that don't aren't coming up you have a responsibility of three things the one that isn't coming up number one you might look you know it's not that good the second thing is you must be filled with the spirit right now you know you're not uh Pentecostal that looks your Pentecostal that's filled with the spirit and number three is we we must believe with our friends that God will help them he'll heal them he'll breathe he will help them he will save them he will shine or he'll stop it God knows what to do amen amen I ask you 10 to 15 minutes all Church to nicely fiery pray pray reverently father everyone [Music] reverently [Music] [Music] give [Music] [Music] huah Hallelujah Glu for for Hallelujah [Music] GL Hallelujah let's one moment just everyone pray in the spirit amen sh my beloved listen very carefully did you understand what I was preaching I'm serious did you understand listen when I listen when I preach or other brothers preach you know God moves God breathes God touches but if the soul isn't saved do you understand God doesn't enjoy that you know when the word goes and the word of God touches the heart you know when he needs to hold it up he holds it up when he needs to breathe he breathes when he needs to encourage he encourage but if it needs salvation he calls it God's spirit is calling people to my beloved listen very carefully you know I don't know you maybe just a couple of people but I was trying so that it was a blessing for you who here knows that your sins are not yet forgiven that your soul is not yet saved maybe people don't know but you know you know that God brought you here today and the Son of God himself is calling you to himself to himself in the name of Jesus Christ husbands and wives who of you is here that you are not yet saved and your sins are not yet forgiven in Jesus name raise your hand so that we would see you and we would pray for you so that Jesus would receive you he would save you and he would forgive everything amen amen anybody in this service in Jesus name I ask you nobody has that question I don't see anybody no I don't see anybody the my beloved you may take your seats you may be blessed you know we'll have one more prayer I invite you to just go [Music] to uh you know we had certain members of our church that said they have some problems we have 10 or more problems you know I've read through them there's tears there's suffering and only there's only hope in Jesus Christ you know I invite
