Greg Locke’s ‘Come Out in Jesus Name’ Now Available Through Streaming Services
After a strong release in March in theaters nationwide and a return two-night engagement in April, Locke Media’s “Come Out in Jesus Name” is now available from most streaming services including Amazon Prime, AppleTV-iTunes, GoogleTV-YouTube and Salemnow.com. The film is available to rent and purchase with each outlet.
The film was not only a breakout success for Locke Media this spring, but it also dropped a spiritual bomb on the forces of Satan. The movie follows the story of controversial Pastor Greg Locke, who took a 180-degree turn from his mainstream religious traditions and led his church into full-blown revival.
He and a diverse group of unconventional preachers—including one group known as the Demon Slayers—began to spark an important awakening through deliverance ministry, casting out demons.
Psychiatrist Unveils ‘Demonic Foes,’ How to Know if It’s Mental Health or Spiritual Oppression
Dr. Richard Gallagher is a respected psychiatrist from New York, who has spent the last 25 years observing and working with Christian exorcists and clients who either have been under demonic influence or believed there was a possibility that they could be.
As a Pentecostal/charismatic Christian, I believe the Bible teaches there are principalities and powers. I believe Jesus cast out demons and I believe that still happens today as shown in the recent documentary “Come Out in Jesus Name.”
When I learned of Dr. Gallagher’s work and the fact he approaches it from the perspective of a trained psychiatrist I was intrigued and wanted to interview him on my Strang Report podcast.
Correcting Misleading Translations in the Bible About Gender Equality
Over the years, countless God-loving, Bible-reading evangelicals have embraced the belief that God requires gender hierarchy, advocating for men to lead and women to submit in both the church and the home.
This perspective has been further extended to assert that only men should assume leadership roles in business, government and parachurch organizations. But why is this the case?
Many devoted Christians have studied their English Bibles and encountered what John Piper referred to as “Christianity with a masculine feel” during the Desiring God 2012 Conference, emphasizing the concept of “godly male leadership.” However, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that this “masculine feel” is a consequence of misleading translations. Several passages in Bible translations such as the ESV and NASB distort the meaning of God’s inspired Word by introducing words, altering word meanings, changing sentence structures and obscuring vital evidence that supports a message of gender equality present throughout the Bible. Although Scripture accurately portrays male-dominant cultures, it does not prescribe them.
