GenX preacher is a straight forward simple discussion about God through the lens of the Holy Bible. No religion and also nothing held back because of political correctness. It's straight talk with out the religious twist. All believers in Jesus are seen the same, averaged, by Father God. None have more blessings than the next believer.

Respectfully submitted for consideration. - i think dragon and leviathan are different entities. Satan is a dragon. Leviathan seems like it is associated with Sheol / Hades, sea of the deep. Abaddon / Apollyon might be leviathan. Abaddon / Apollyon through the anti-Christ. Makes war with heaven (likely 1st heaven or lower heaven). The anti-Christ prevails but not by his power. (Abaddon is the power behind him). In his pride and arrogance. He defiles and makes desolate the temple. Proclaims himself greater than God and all that is in heaven. At this point Satan gets kicked out of heaven and is already in a bad mode. Sees the anti-Christ proclaiming himself to be above everything. Which includes above Satan. In anger Satan strikes him down. At this point, i think Abaddon / Apollyon likely takes direct control. Of the anti-Christ. Gives the control of the earth from human dominion. That the anti-Christ has. Over to Satan. And Satan give authority to use his power and authority to the anti-Christ; who is now the beast of the sea. - Earth is Satans domain. He offers it to Jesus. During the 40 days of temptation. i don't think this is an exaggeration. In that i think Satan has authority. This is not in anyway. To present the idea that Satan could be even close to God. Just that at some point. God gave Satan authority over the whole earth, with various angels having their provinces of control. God keeping the land of Israel and the Jewish people. This is all to humble Satan. It is to teach the wayward beings of the spirit realm. Just how far they are from God. - i don't think Satan is kicked out of heaven, until the abomination makes the coming temple desolate. - Satan has charge over the earth. Not hades. i think Abaddon / Apollyon / Beast of the Sea. Is tossed into the lake of fire before Satan is bound in Hades for 1000 years. Due to Abaddon being the Angel of the bottomless pit / hades / sheol. * Sorry about not have verses for these ideas. i'm very far behind my current project. The Satan / Leviathan thing is not a simple subject. Job 41: 25 i had not checked into that before. Made me happy. Ephesians 6:12 (happy, happy Preach It!) i seems to me. God does not ideally use multiple words with similar meanings. Unless the idea encapsulated is complex. 3 or more words with similar meaning is an alarm to pay attention. You notice this all so with the Genesis day 1 as the Spirit hovers over the waters. Today was a wonderful day. H. Spirit. Started opening my eyes to many of the details of Jacob from Genesis 28, 32 Hosea 12. How many details of Gods work of salvation are hidden in plain sight. In these chapters. Really in about 12 verses (not actually counted) in total. Even cool details like Jacob seeing Gods face. This is very important. If we think back to Moses. Asking God to let Moses see him. Moses was not permitted to see Gods face. Also, Jacob is the supplanter. Coming out of the womb holding his brother's heel. Which is like us being raised out of Hell through Jesus. Even Jacob being shown that the streaked, spotted, and speckled were mating. Almost as if it was saying the impure ones. The ones that Jacob was to be given. That finish was very good. Think of God and Satan sitting down to play a chess match. God periodically texts Satan about an upcoming move that he will make. God does this various times, throughout the match. Each move God texts out. Is made at some point after the text. Each text is displayed on a big screen, and to everyone who wants to see the text. So that all have the opportunity to know the moves that God will make before he makes them. When the game is finished. Satan and everyone who watched the game. Will know that at his best. Satan was so incapable of beating God. That even with God cheating for Satan. Satan still was unable to win.

Rapture? Brother there will be no secret rapture according to Matthew 24!
Matthew 24 is for the Jews, why are you quoting a chapter Jesus speaking to the Jews? We're the gentiles. The rapture is right in Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; So there is a redeemed (raptured) group to God, and that group is in Heaven watching Jesus open the seals and singing about his worthiness to do so. Where did this group come from? From every kindred (race), tongue (language), people, and nation (gentile). Key word in that verse is nation because it's used all throughout the Bible to describe gentiles, all 93 times in fact. We are the gentiles. The redemption is before the seals are opened, that much is clear. The use of nation in that verse tells us that. Now if you're going to try and say "Darby invented the rapture", I quoted from the KJV which was written over 200 years before Darby was even born.
Our children and wives are under attack!
Thank you ! It very clear we need to be praying for our families.

Brother. A wonderful teaching. This is the sort of complex, dynamic, interlinked study we need in today's churches. i enjoyed this teaching, very much! Maybe one less cup of coffee before recording. Isaiah 27:1 Thoughts. Leviathan and the dragon are 2 different creatures. As i recall some of the descriptions of Leviathan seem to portray it as a living creature that makes up sheol. That the entirety of sheol is its stomach and it has an unsatisfiable hunger for souls. The beast is Abaddon / Apollyon who is the prince of sheol. (Sheol is the Hebrew word for hell or hades.) (i assume the pastor already knows this) Side rant. Anyone who thinks that Leviathan should be translated to hippo or crocodile. Read Job 41. The entire chapter is about Leviathan. One of the great sins of modern Bibles is the replacement of mythological words with simple animals. Luke 24: 44 If you read this verse too loudly amillennialist and replacement theologists may become upset. Retreating to safe spaces away from the Bible. We also need the temple that is at the end of Ezekiel. Something like the last 8 chapter. With the carved Cherib that only have 2 faces, instead of 4. (think on why they only have 2 faces)
Good teaching. The understanding of Genesis 6. Is one of the great losses of the modern church. Thoughts for consideration. - i don't think David wiped them out. i think he drove them out. Difference being. They can still exist in other areas. It also seems possible that God used Ishmael and his descendants, as well as Esau and his descendants. To start hunting down giants while the Jews were in Egypt. - It seems to me Satan is not the rulers over hades / death. He is the prince of the power of the air. (lower heaven) Abaddon / Apollyon is the angel in charge of hell. Which seems why he is tossed into the lake of fire first. There also seems to be a possibility that hades might in some way or to some extent be a being. As death and hades tossed into the lake of fire. There is also the question of the sea and the sea of the deep. The sea gives up its dead along with death and hades. Ephesians 2: 2 Revelation 20: 13-14 In doing a quick check for references, for my own thoughts. Ephesians is the only verse a quick check popped up. i think there is likely more to this.
MY TESTIMONY: 🔥 ✝️ ❤️🔥 Jesus Christ Appeared to Me (Open Eyes Awake Vision) & I saw His Face!!! Two weeks Later He was Glowing in my Bedroom & I Fell as Dead at His Feet!!! He is GOD!!! 🔥 ✝️ 🔥 HUMBLY I State: Jesus has over the years Confirmed that I am an Endtime Apostle of a Holy Army Jesus is Raising Up in these Last Days to Dust Off of His Word, The Rock: (False Doctrines, Denominations, Teachings, Heresies). To Make Ready & Present to Him a Unblemished Bride Remnant Church, Not Having Spot, or Wrinkle, that it Should be Holy & Without Blemish Ready to Meet Him. Jesus has Shown me that Very Very Very Few will Enter Heaven Out of 1 He allows, 1,000 go to Eternal Punishment of Hell (Ecclesiastes 7:28) THEREFORE REPENT= Turning Away from ALL Sin (Luke 13 3) Be Spiritually Reborn (John 3 3) Love Jesus with all Your Heart/Soul/Mind (Keeping All His Commands 200+ in New Testament & Forgive/Love All). Ask to be Filled with the Holy Spirit! Jesus Said Nobody Enters Heaven if they Do Not Obey His Will!! (Matthew 7 21-23) Bible Warns of HELL 162 times, 70 times were Jesus who Spoke more on HELL than Heaven! Jesus Demands 100% Dedication & the Lukewarm He Vomits Out (Revelation 3 16) We MUST " Work out our Salvation with Fear & Trembling " (Philippians 2 12) Now Operating in the Holy Spirit Builds our Mansion & Earns Crowns/Rewards in Heaven by Reading His Word, Evangelizing, Casting Out Demons, Helping the Poor, Elderly, Widows, Orphans, & the Sick (Matthew 25 41-46) Call upon the Holy Name of our God Jesus Christ!! FAITH in Jesus Christ Alone = Leads to Repentance of ALL Sin in Agreeance with GOD & a Turning Away from this World to Him = Living a Holy Life as HE Sanctifies EVERY Aspect of our Lives through our Mind, Tongue, & Soul. Now HE Does Great Works through us!! Taking care of the Sick, Poor, Elderly, Widows, Orphans, Evangelizing, Casting out Demons & Healing the Sick. 🔥✝️❤️🔥
Great teaching Pastor Mills!
I do have a question, although dogs have a soul, and not the Holy Spirit, will the soul go to Heaven? There is mention of animals in Heaven. 🙂
Thank you 🙏♥️ God bless. I needed to hear this today.
Being able to be blotted out of the book of life. Is a very important lesson. There are a few lessons where people have differing opinions on. Where there is more consequence for believing or rejecting. i almost always favor the understanding that has consequences. My one addendum to this teaching. Is that just like Abraham was justified through faith. i think that people who have not heard the gospel, yet still to the best of their understanding. Try to live a life seeking God. Might still have a last chance to accept Jesus. But if you have heard the gospel and rejected it. Better not put your faith in a backdoor. Or a softened interpretation. We are judged on our hearts our situation and what we knew. It is better to conform to God. Than to try to have God conform to you. A good teaching on a very relevant topic, in these days.
Just curious. How sure the texts you use are not corrupted?
Use the KJV, its the only modern translation that follows the strict masoretic rules of translating from the original scripture. It's not a perfect translation, but it's close to a perfect translation as you can get.
Not being able to make a decision for their own best benefit is where the world is at today.
I meant John 8:29 not Ephesians 8:29
AWESOME ! LOVE IT
How do I get saved? I've been a very cruel person my entire life messing with the wrong people at the wrong place at the wrong time, But I think I want forgivness and and to get saved and much more, I want the blood of Yeshua and I have accepted the blood yet im not saved, why is that? I feel im missing a few things but I dont know what they are, SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME HOW EXACTLY TO GET SAVED, THE DEVIL IS AFTER ME
Do not depend on your feelings. You need to go by facts. Jesus Christ exchanged your unrighteousness for His righteousness once you put your faith in His finished work on the cross where He shed His blood as payment for our sins. God no longer sees the stains of sin on you. Because now the father only sees His son whom took in your place for your punishment. You will only struggle with sin, but if your saved you’ll be convicted when you sin to stop doing it. God does not remove His Holy Spirit when you sin and then put it back in you like a Yo yo. You are saved by the Blood of Jesus. Not one person is in hell because God has rejected them. Those folks are in hell is because they have rejected God. Have a blessed day. Stay in the word as much as you can , because if you don’t you’ll have a difficult time fighting your flesh. And always talk to Jesus about everything from your problems and also praise Him for everything.
Good Teaching Pastor Aaron
@@ednagooch804 sister Edna glad to see you on here!
I read my bible, and it brings me peace in these dark days because I know god is in control of everything I stumble sometimes at work and get frustrated when things seem way outta control I'm not perfect but I know god is with me helping me to grow as a believer. If you belong to him, he won't abandon you his chastisement brings repentance. If you're struggling with strong holds, it means he is working in you. Don't give up. This was a great message pastor keep up the good work.
Great testimony! Thank you for sharing.

Why do you bring masons into this? There is nothing wrong with being a mason. Several people in my immediate family have been masons, my father and my uncle were masons and my uncle was a 33 degree mason, and you would be hard pressed to find any better Christians than they were. Also my family are real life masons who build a brick houses and lay block and stone. To join the mason lodge is to just join a club. All of these people ( including you) apparently, have some distorted spooky image of the masons. It comes from watching way to many movies and listening to to many idiots out here talking about made up fictional spooky clubs with crazy doctrines and the like. People have got to stop listening to idiots and stupid people. When you do such a thing, you are denigrating the reputation of many wonderful men and great Christians (no not Catholic either) almost my entire family are General Baptist, so please do some homework and stop the denigration of people.
Because once you get up to around the 10th, degree mason, you are taught Lucifer is God. I can now confirm this because there is a dude on my facebook posting this, proud as proud can be that he just became a 10th degree mason and was taught Luficer is God. It's complete and utter trash. So if it's a big club and if they don't believe that, then perhaps the masons need to start banding together and disciplining their own whom are calling Lucifer God. It's both unfortunate and funny at the same time as people who come out against masons know more about freemasonry than the masons themselves because they are completely blind. Also remember what the Bible specifically states in Matthew 7, there are many people who call Jesus Lord, but are told to depart from them. There are people who think they are Christians but are actually not. Ask them if they can identify what the gospel of salvation is and where to find it, they likely will not be able to tell you
Still doesn't change the fact of what Jesus said in Matthew 24 About the sign of the coming of the son of man not appearing until after the great tribulation of those days
@@jisaac5589 yes, of course, Jesus returns after the tribulation. However, that doesn’t negate pulling the church up to heaven before the rapture.
Very helpful my brother
Interesting that makes sense about the falling away
Thanks Pastor 😊
Timely and on point. Thank you for your obedience and sharing, sir.
There is less than a month for Rapture, on September 18 we will meet with Jesus.
@@fadrin7589 no person can give a specific date for things like that. “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” Matthew 24:26
@@GenXpreacher Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there be a falling away first and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. - 2 Thessalonians 2:3... This one is a little clearer...
Take a little closer look at the whole chapter and you'll see that the lawless one (anti-christ) can NOT be revealed until the one who restrains is taken out of the way. That is removed from the Earthly realm. "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth" 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 The Church is the body of Christ on the Earth. We have authority and we restrain the anti-christ from manifesting because we exist on Earth. Once Christians are raptured then the anti-Christ will shown to the world and begin his work. Thank you for you inquiry Gen X P

Thanks for listening
Amen bro 🙏
Thank you for this teaching brother. I know many people who would claim youre teaching heresy, but i know this is truth. its hard for people to believe theres only one unforgivable sin.
Thank you.

At Pentecost, the apostles weren’t speaking any language they didn’t already know. The spiritual gift given at Pentecost was not that of languages (though a language miracle did occur), but rather prophesy. This would take a few pages to explain properly; so, for the sake of brevity, I’m considerably simplifying and ‘bottom lining’ the below. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did not give the _language_ (i.e., the means/content) of the apostles’ speech, it gave the _manner_ in which it was spoken. The Holy Spirit gave the 12 (yep, 12, not 120, but that’s a story for another day) apostles what in the Greek text is “apophtheggesthai”. It’s usually translated as “to give utterance”. This is, however, not the most accurate translation of this Greek word, but it’s the one that has come to be the more or less ‘de facto’ rendering. This word is from “apophtheggomai” which is best translated as “to give bold, authoritative, inspired speech to”. Don’t go to Strong’s and look it up though - “Strong’s” is a _concordance_ , not a lexicon; there’s a _huge_ difference. Without going into what could be considerable detail, when looking at the “language wherein the attendees were born” there are only two: Aramaic and Greek. The Jews present at Pentecost came from three areas: Judea, the Western Diaspora and the Eastern Diaspora. “All nations under heaven” is an idiomatic expression - Acts II: 9-11 tells us where those visiting were from. The “list of nations”, as it’s called, of Acts 2: 9-11 is simply that - a list of countries, lands and nations that tell us where these people were from; *not* what language(s) they spoke, as most people assume. Further, the idea that the “tongues” of Acts II was xenoglossy also stems from this false assumption. In the entire narrative not *one* language is ever referenced by name - ever wonder why? The miracle of language at Pentecost was making the God of the Jews accessible to all people and moreover, not having to do so in one prescribed language: namely, Hebrew, the sacerdotal language of Judaism. The crowd was expecting to hear Hebrew first followed by translations into Aramaic and Greek as was the tradition and practice of the day; what they got were Aramaic and Greek without Hebrew first. Doing this broke a slew of cultural and religious taboos and was virtually tantamount to heresy which accounts for the crowd’s reaction. Further added to the crowd’s reaction was to hear Galileans (the “country bumkins” of their day) speak so boldly, completely inspired, and with such authority. The actual gift being emphasized is the fact that the Holy Spirit has empowered the disciples to _prophesy_ and to boldly proclaim the Word of the Lord, and this is exactly what we find in verse 14. Peter “lifted up his voice and _addressed_ them”, but perhaps a better translation would be that he lifted up his voice and _prophesied._ We tend to think of prophecy as a kind of foretelling of future events, but in the Hebrew use, it was more often associated with _speaking forth_ the Word of the Lord. I would argue that, if looking for a gift of the Holy Spirit to assign to Pentecost, it would be more the gift of Prophesy than of Languages. No xenoglossy, no modern tongues-speech, just real, rational language(s). There *was* a language miracle at Pentecost provided by the Holy Spirit, no argument there; just not the one most people assume. This also negates the concept of “tongues as initial evidence” - That’s a completely Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian construct.
There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - and there is only *one* type - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually, but not always, unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language (in some cases, it is a language the speaker has learned). Indeed, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God/Holy Spirit given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy (as many people incorrectly assume), nor is it the self-created non-cognitive non-language utterance of what certain Christian denominations are producing today (modern tongues-speech). _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced. 1Cor. 14:2 is perhaps *the* quintessential verse used by many to “evidence” modern tongues-speech in the Bible. The whole passage is talking about real, rational language. Let me use an analogy - If I attend a worship service in “East Haystack”, some remote town in the US out in the middle of nowhere, two things are going to be evident: one; there’s only going to be so many people at that service (i.e. there will be a finite given amount of people there) and two; the chances that anyone speaks anything *but* English is pretty slim to nil. If I start praying aloud in say Lithuanian, there’s no one at that service that’s going to understand a single word I’m saying. Even though I’m speaking a real language, no one _there_ will understand my “tongue”. That does not mean or imply that no one else understands Lithuanian; just no one at _that particular service._ In this sense, therefore, I am speaking _only to God,_ since he understands all languages. To everyone at the service, even though I’m praying in the Spirit (as defined further below), to the people listening to me, I’m still speaking “mysteries” - i.e. even though I’m praying as I ought, no one understands me. An idiomatic expression to say that no one has a clue what I’m saying as no one speaks my language. When one looks at the original Greek, the verb which is usually translated as “understandeth/understands” is actually the verb “to hear” in the sense of understanding what you’re hearing someone say. The verb is *not* “to understand”. That part of the verse is more properly “no one hears [him] with understanding”, i.e. no one listening to him understands what he’s saying. There is _nothing_ in this passage that suggests modern tongues-speech nor is there anything that even _remotely_ suggests that the speaker does not understand what he himself is saying. The Greek bears this out; it is the _listeners_ who do not understand, *not* the speaker - no matter how hard modern tongues-speakers want the speaker to also not understand…….unless the author of the text is a bad grammarian, it just isn’t there. “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will.
The Word of God tells us there are tongues in our private language we don’t understand. “For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don’t understand what I am saying” 1 Corinthians 14:14 Why would Paul pray words that he doesn’t have no clue what he’s saying? “what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding.” 1 Corinthians 14:15 Why would he say understanding is separate from praying in spirit? Who are we talking to when praying in tongues? “for he who speaks in a tongue is not speaking to men, but to God. Indeed, nobody understands him.” 1 Corinthians 14:2 Speaking in tongues is you privately speaking to God.not people. And here it says that no one understands meaning no one on earth could understand. It’s a language that is outside of this earth language. You can debate it and you can disagree. That is the truth according ti the Written Word via the Holy Spirit. Now public tongues is a different discussion.
@@GenXpreacher PART 1 - When looking at verses/passages, they need to be put into historical, cultural, and when it comes to languages (“tongues”), linguistic context/perspective. Most people don’t do this and take these very literally. Paul’s letter to Corinth does address spiritual gifts but then goes on to speak to real-language issues facing a multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and somewhat transient, population in large city situated on two major seaports. A place where everyday communication can be challenging. Let’s look at the verses quoted: 1Cor. 14:2 is perhaps *the* quintessential verse used by many to “evidence” modern tongues-speech in the Bible. The whole passage is talking about real, rational language. Let me use an analogy - If I attend a worship service in “East Haystack”, some remote town in the US out in the middle of nowhere, two things are going to be evident: one; there’s only going to be so many people at that service (i.e. there will be a finite given amount of people there) and two; the chances that anyone speaks anything *but* English is pretty slim to nil.

In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns, alliteration, assonance, and over-simplification of syllable structure. The "nail in the coffin", so-to-speak, is that _any and all_ phonological rules (rules governing how sounds are put together in a given language - what is allowed and what is disallowed) governing a speaker's native language, will _also_ govern their tongues-speech. That fact alone negates anything that can be construed as 'divine' in nature and cements that fact that it is a self-created phenomenon. Further, this subset of phonemes mentioned above typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”. There is absolutely _nothing_ that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot be explained in relatively simple linguistic terms. Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely _no_ Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. _Nowhere_ in the Bible is modern tongues-speech advocated or evidenced. “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will. I'm not doubting or questioning the 'tongues experience'; glossolalia as the spiritual tool that it is, can be very powerful and, for many people, the experience is profound. As one commenter put it, “Speaking in tongues distracts the ego/analytical/conscious mind while leaving the subconscious (the heart) wide open to import the divine." Both the spiritual and physical benefits of using this tool are also well documented. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any_ other culture that practices glossolalia. Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way; they just have different explanations and beliefs as to why they’re doing it, and where it comes from. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was. “Tongues” is to some Christian believers a very real and spiritually meaningful experience but consisting of emotional release via non-linguistic ‘free vocalizations’ at best; non-cognitive non language utterance - the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech. In _some_ cases, I would argue that it is clearly a self/mass delusion prompted by such a strong desire to “experience God” that one creates that experience via “tongues”. ‘Tongues’ (read, *‘languages’* ) - the divine gift, is the God/Holy Spirit given ability to effortlessly learn to speak and be understood through real-language barriers. It is not xenoglossy (as many people incorrectly assume), nor is it the self-created non-cognitive non-language utterance of what certain Christian denominations are producing today (modern tongues-speech). As a point of note, I’m a Linguist, and let me also add here that I am neither a so-called ‘cessationist’ nor a ‘continuationist’ - I do not identify with either term; in fact, I had never heard the two terms until just late in 2016. As far as I’m concerned, quite frankly, since the Biblical reference of “tongues” is to real, rational languages, obviously “tongues” haven’t “ceased”. It’s always a bit interesting to see how different tongues-speakers skate around what for them is that awkward discrepancy between the real, rational languages of Pentecost and the so-called “prayer language “ of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. The solution seems to be instituting various “types” of “tongues”. There is only one type of “tongue(s)” in the Bible when referring to something spoken - real rational language(s).
@@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474 regarding part 2: Scripture says we speak ‘mysteries. While talking to God with tongues. “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit” 1 Corinthians 14:2 Why do we speak mysteries? “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us…” Romans 8:26 What is our weakness? Its that we do NOT know in our natural mind what we need to pray for but our spirit with Holy Spirit prays these mysteries thru us. We don’t know what is happening in the spirit world always, we don’t know what traps the devil is set up against us or what incidents will happen in the future. These are mysteries BUT when our spirit prays in tongues it is a true intercession. The devil cannot understand and cannot intercept. God Bless Thank you for your inquiry
Zero verses prove a pre trib rapture
Sounds like Trump is going to prison at Rikers Island mid September. If that happens, it's the beginning of the end in this country. September is feast of trumpets and possibly the rapture. Coincidence?
In Revelation chapter 3:10 in the massage to Pholadelphia Jesus says this. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, try them that dwell upon the earth.
i fully believe is gifts of the Holy Spirit. i also believe that the enemy is very good at deception. Believe but remain on guard and continually test and review. Western churches have mostly lost belief in the gifts or have embraced everything as from God without question or testing. It is odd, that both ends are more represented; than the middle ground that we should be on. These are my thoughts on the topic overall.
Yes, the Word of God says to test the spheres to see if they are God

It's good to know that Christians can still go to church on Sunday and keep eating bacon, and those of us who work on Saturday will not have to quit our jobs. There are some Christian cults that say we still need to keep those laws to be saved, or in addition to being saved. But the Jerusalem Council in Acts said Christian Gentiles did not have to get circumcised or observe the entire Mosaic Law in order to be saved, just to avoid sexual immorality, eating meat sacrificed to idols, and eating blood. And there are some laws that kind of go without saying, such as not taking the Lord's name in vain, that we should want to follow if we truly love the Lord, and a lot of those types of commands were given to believers by Jesus Himself as well as the Apostles. I'm not saying that Christians observe these commands perfectly, but we should really try to please God in these things.
@@lawrencehorner8418 Jesus is our Sabbath! We are now the temple of God and in Sabbath 24/7 because the Holy Spirit dwells in our bodies through Christ Jesus. Jesus has fulfilled the requirements of the Law. There are prophetic parts that Jesus will fulfill in the future when he returns.
@@GenXpreacher Amen on that!
Hallelujah

Hey brother. The other day you made an excellent video on the Reprobate mind. I forwarded it to my sister in law , whom in turn attacked you in the comment section claiming that you twisted Gods word. 🙄 Here is some background on her beliefs- Replacement theology, God is done with the Jews and Israel 🇮🇱 because they have failed God, the new Temple has already been built in South Korea, we are spiritual Israel , all the Bible’s today are satanic, and she believes that the whole Bible can only be translated through it being one huge parable.😳 Sorry if she disturbed your spirit. Koo Koo beliefs out there today. I pray that the Holy Spirit changes her heart. She actually believes a different ( non biblical) theology. A different gospel , a different Jesus and a different way of salvation. Have a blessed day.
Is nonexistent. The early church was being hunted down and fed to lions so it would have been a pretty hard sell. Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there be a falling away first and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. - 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Your *1st* claim is nothing but that...a claim, & one that is unsubstantiated. When you introduce *II Thess 2:3,* that's a total mis-understanding/interpretation of the text. "THAT DAY" in vs 3 is tied to what we find in vs 2, the "the day of Christ", and the "day of Christ" speaks of the tribulation period, *NOT* the rapture. Sentence structure & the rules of grammar don't allow you to S K I P over vs 2 & attach it to the rapture that spoken of in vs 1, no..."that day" in vs 3 it tied to the nearest antecedent which is found in vs 2. There's several reasons supporting *WHY* this is not the rapture in vs 2 should you want to study that out. All the best to you in your search for truth.
Thank you pastor.😅
You're welcome. Thanks for listening and commenting.
Those passages applies to the churches located in Turkey 2,000 years ago because of their heavy persecution from the evil Roman empire up to the rise of Islam who finished the job :) John the revelator said that he is a companiion to their tribulation and he's dead long time ago.... he's not a companion to the tribulation 2,000 years laters.
Ask yourself these questions if Revelation is past tense: 1. When was there an earthquake in Jerusalem that killed 7000 people since John gave this revelation? Revelation 11:13 2. When did Euphrates completely dry up since John wrote revelation? Revelation 16:12 3. Another earthquake bigger than any that has ever been recorded in the history of the earth.? When is that happened since John wrote his letter? Revelation 16:18
