God bless you for your obedience...I thank God that he validated my thoughts/opinions concerning the church system based on experiences over the passed few decades...when you earnestly seek God...he will answer your prayers.
I will agree with on dispensation that people like to hang on. I say the same thing, technically 95% of the Bible can be attested as not being written to anyone but people that were living over 2000 years or earlier
Brother I thank you for speaking so much truth i’ve had the same questions and thoughts about the System that we are in, it wasn’t matching what I saw in scripture I hope we get back to what the church was.
I realized this back in 1994. I spent four years studying and searching for the right church... the church Jesus started. After I had exhausted myself and all resources, I realized that what we have been doing for hundreds of years is nothing like the Early Church...the Church Jesus started. We spend thousands or even millions to build beautiful buildings, so we can sit in comfortable seats and enjoy the show prepared for us for that day. Then we have to give funds each week to keep this business going. This takes large sums of money to pay for the high salaries and the operating expenses... nothing like what Jesus taught about.
@@AbigailJael-tm9of I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; [2] Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Salma --They Must be shut down and it will happen when the Truly Godly Look up and do NOT waste God 's Money he blessed you to earn on the last day FALSE PROPHETS. They care nothing about Jesus sheep only head counts that walk into the door with a $ dollar $ign that is counted NOT CARED ABOUT. Yeshua (JESUS) has real needs of areas and real cause of good soil to plant His Resources in that will grow here on earth and the World to Come. Trie Christians HAVE GOT TO COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE, and be aware of the wolves tares. People know better now because "We Have THE HOLY SPIRIT that lead and guide into ALL Truth , and we will be held accountable . Shalom~
I stopped going to church a couple of years ago and grew closer to God. To be frank and honest I felt I began giving God the real me and I seen Him in a greater compacity in my life and others. I personally don't tell anyone what they should do, my only advice is to follow the Holy Spirit. I personally love small bible studys with other believers.
M C Having the Holy Spirit, you do not need a building God is not only in a building. Honestly he may be hindered in a building because of man made tradition ext. But He should be in your heart. You can fellowship with believers outside of churches. I rarely felt I could truly even talk to people in church service setting anyways. My experience anyways.
So, how / where did you find your people / tribe, as they like to say today? Hebrews 10:24-25: "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching".
Michelle Fong, my heart breaks for you. I prayed our Savior will send a like minded friend to you where you can help each other. If you have given your life to Christ, you have the holy Spirit, He's always with you. Love in Christ.
I’ve been demonized by many of my fellow believers for decrying the modern “church”. Thank you for this; for iron sharpens iron and the Lord gives me strength.
“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 NLT www.bible.com/116/heb.10.25.nlt
What dont christians demonize ? There isnt a group on earth you dont hate. Because you hate yourselves. Nothing is darker than christianity. My husband is a shaman and spiritual master and we know it takes 25 to 50 ayahuasca ceremonies for a christian to have any chance for spiritual ascension and everyone else it takes much less.
When my church started having multiple fast services with less teaching content and then a coffee shop opened up in foyer, it started feeling less like a place where one comes to learn of God and worship him to a place of clicks. I had enough and was very upset with what the body of Christ was calling church services. I read the word for myself and know the BOC is the church not a building.
I went to a new church today and it was the best kind if weird I can describe. No announcements, just straight to the message. He spoke for an hour and a half, the whole message being rooted in the Gospel and what Christ did for us. At the end, well, he was done speaking, and that was that. I've never been to a church so simple, yet I learned more than I ever have, because it's not about the programs or the entertainment, the church is Christians gathering together to hear the Word
1 Cor 14:26 What then brothers When you come together EACH ONE has a hymn a lesson a revelation a tongue or an interpretation let all things be done for the building up. Paul explains more on how a gathering of new covenant saints is to gather in chapter 12 as well… Pretty clear the gathering isn’t intended for a single gift to be given but that EACH is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the building up of all.
I stopped going to all churches, years ago, and I am far closer in communion with GO than I have ever been. " I have more insight than all of my teachers, for I meditate on YOUR Statutes. I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey YOUR WORD. I have not departed from YOUR WAYS, for YOU YOURSELF have taught me." Psalm 119:99-102
I am 79 years old and you have spoken every thought I have had for many years about a gathering together as the Lord would have it be. So few speak out and "see" what you have voiced so well. Thank you so much. Those that are open will hear the truth of which you speak.
So you're 79 you say? Hmph - I don't know any 79 yr olds that have an online presence, much less type and spell so well. You sound more like a much younger person. Perhaps a troll?
I am an athiest. Where I live we have so many little churches where CLEARLY no one is making out big. These little churches and the people who work/volunteer are barley bringing in enough to stay afloat. I respect these churches and the people who are a part of them. They give so much to the community first and to themselves last. Mad respect if you are a member of a small church like this.
God bless you for being honest. I pray that the light of Christ will reach into your heart. God is real. Ask him to show you whether he exists because only God himself can make you believe in him in Jesus name.
C Jay the church ain't a building it's the body of Christ . Lol I'm an atheist that's just insane so you believe in evolution like bang and it's here that's stupid and don't make any sense exactly what they want you to believe . The one and only creater is very real I can assure you thought. Religion was created by man.
I found myself becoming frustrated attending church (Pentecostal Christian church), as more and more money was being asked for, thousands and thousands per month. I never got to speak, I never got to hear anyone's story or revelations or learn from anyone other than the main speaker, just this format you speak of. I think meeting in a park and tithing for the poor, sharing what we learn, having gatherings guided by the Holy Spirit, etc, makes far more sense than meeting in an expensive building and tithing for updated lights, etc. It's what I've been desiring for so long. I am looking for 'my church' :(
Erin Janus - As you alluded to, the "churchianity" of today is, at best, superficial, and at worst producing false converts on a mass scale. The answers to our problems are found in Scripture and nowhere else. The sufficiency of Scripture must be held to prevent inventions of man from creeping in. I hope to address many of the individual pillars that hold up the institutional church in more detail in future videos.
Rena Huchingson - It is great to hear that your mother helped people in need rather than contributing to the furthering of an ostentatious institution. That said, please note that the "ordination" of or the sanctioning of women in leadership and teaching roles within the church is also counter biblical. This is not an attack against your mother but rather an elevation of scripture. I realize that this notion is not palatable to the 21st century tongue, but my job is to present truth as it is and not as I wish it to be. Food for thought. I hope you found this video to be some source of encouragement. Stay strong in the Lord.
Servus Christi, Wasn't the ordination and sanctioning of women in leadership and teaching roles within the church biblical countered for Paul would not 'Permit' it ? And who was actually ordained and sanctioned to be leaders and teachers in the church anyway? Is it not God Who anoints & sanctifies? And Who ordains? As it is Jesus Who Appoints Apostles, Prophets and Teachers in His body. The bible showing God to have had Women Prophets as well. But yet do men teach that Jesus would not Appoint a Woman Prophet in His body? For they Teach there are no longer any Apostles & Prophets for His body. Only they are needed as Teachers. Which we see so many 'School Of The Pastors' do teach. Now we know why. As Prophets being 2nd and Teachers being 3rd. A Prophet Of God just may be a Woman. So if they teach there are no Prophets today? Then there's no chance of women being 2nd and them being 3rd in Christ's body. For they want to teach their own doctrines of men. Without Apostles & Prophets to bring the doctrines of Christ for them to teach. So they obey Paul, in following him as he follows Christ. What will you think of all this Servus Christi ?
. . . I cried, on floor, in the middle of my kitchen . . . These are convictions I’ve had for years. They emerged shortly after I began intensely studying scripture on my own during my second year in law school. I knew these things in my heart after revisiting the plain language of Acts, as well as Jesus’s example in the Gospels. And without too much intention I just stopped going to churches. The deviation was significant and apparent in every service I tried to participate in, that I was convinced I had a different copy of the Bible than everyone else!! I continued personal study and time with Him, though, until the right way to go about it came about. I just wasn’t ambitious about it. I didn’t actively try to find a congregation close to the Church in Acts, and over time I became complacent. I was in the middle of eating waffles while watching this video - standing up at the counter. After seeing the part when the prophet confronted Jon Macarthar so boldly, I was seized with emotion. Just like the converts in Acts are described before crying out to be saved , I, too, felt “cut to the heart!” I paused the video with what strength I had left, slowly stepped back from the counter, and melted to my knees in remorse. I was grieved to my core for my complacency and cowardice in the face of an all-might God! How could I have been so nonchalantly offensive to Father who’s been nothing but gracious, compassionate, and merciful to me! I felt like tearing my shirt. I just lie there on my face - crying and repenting. I asked the Lord to forgive us all, praying further for the boldness like that given Peter after Pentecost. I don’t ever right comments on videos, ever. I had to on this one, however, so please forgive the length. We CANNOT overlook this one fact - a fact my experience with this video has reminded me of: there is REAL power in His plain truth given to us in scripture. A real transformative, authentic, and mighty kind power. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Thank you for freeing me from my complacency and getting me back on track through earnest, heart-wrenching repentance! Praying for us all! #MuchLove
its so funny how christian fools always said Heavy Metal music is E vil. But in reality, christians are the dar - kest creatures in the Universe, while some of the major Metal Artists are Really the Angels: vimeo.com/262892521/description Infinite Cosmic jokes ! Thank you Mother Ayahuasca, Infinite Endless Eternal Gratitude !! Like my husband says: Nature is my church, and Rock N' Roll and Heavy Metal music is my religion! :p
God was with Saul as he walked alone to Damascus. That verse is usually misinterpretted to say God is only there when we meet with other believers. Like He hasn't the time for singles.
You don't have to go to the school of theological teachings in order to learn n teach what the Bible says. God will give you all you need to learn n know. Gather together to worship, praise, and fellowship. WE ARE THE CHURCH! BE THE CHURCH!!
I honestly believe this is the best teaching message on TH-cam to date. I really believe this is where the body of Christ is headed. Those that hear His call, will come out.
@@kevinmalone3210 Yes I do that at home With family and brothers and sisters in Christ Apostle Paul was incarcerated for Yrs, That's how he wrote most of the New testament the Apostles and Jesus Christ too broke bread in there home's ECT..
Good Lord! What Denomination are you? I need to check it out. Unless of course you're Pentecostal or something like that. Those people belong to someone other than God. Not going around there!
melissa deaton wonderful insight. Since the true biblical Sabbath day is Saturday not sun day. The day of worship will become the test for the mark of the beast. Are you Sda? Have you seen Saved to Serve? I highly recommend it
Not my church whatsoever. It's intent is to FEED God's people the Word and to re-enforce the Gospel message to those who have not yet accepted Christ. We also have home fellowships and different studies throughout the week.
Yes, Charles Haddon Spurgeon said "A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the Church will have clowns entertaining the goats." And remember the goats were the liberals in the Bible. Study history, it has always been liberalism that brought down every empire, reign and civilization with the ideology that there is nothing absolutely wrong or right. Just "do your own thang" et cetera.
I've been a Christian most of my 65 years here on earth. Convinced I was called even from my mother's womb... He knew me then, before I took my first breath. Yet, He did not show up in me until my early teen years. Still, I resisted that call, but bowed the knee to fully giving my life back to Him when I was in my twenties. I was a worship leader for much of my early years. Then traveled and taught in the church system for many more years. But little by little and because God gave me a Berean heart to search the scriptures I did so. And it challenged me deeply on so many levels that I finally left the church system years and years ago. With great difficulty, it has been hard to find similar hearts to come together more perfectly as Paul and the early church prescribed. And alas, even with those I have gathered with in the past twenty years, distance has made it difficult to meet with them. I loved everything you said in this video. My heart was beating simultaneos to your in perfect rhythm. I want for this so much. But because of some little fame God has permitted me to have, it is almost impossible for me to experience this grace the way it has been prescribed in your video and the Bible. I am both an Christian and somewhat known as a Christian teacher. I retired from my own company five years ago, and now live all but alone in a valley far from city life. But a few of the saints have found me and want me to come to Africa to share my gifts with them. Oh, how I wish they understood that this wasn't God's way! That is was far simpler, to meet and share our livelihood, our gifts to one another and encourage one another in the Lord. Everything has changed me. The season of seeming fame, turned into a great desert of troubles that left me wounded, but still very much alive in Christ. But I can't do things the way I used to. It isn't about me anymore, it is all about My Savior! I so loved your heart brother! It was great refreshment to me. For now, all I can do is pray! But I do thank God that I am meeting even if it is through email, telephone, or skyping, with saints who are on this page and enjoying Christianity minus all the attractions that man is throwing into the ring. You blessed me thoroughly! May these messages get out to the saints who are longing to be the SPIRITUAL TEMPLE we are called to be. Thanks again for posting this! Stephen.
Steven Scheffler Yes the best sermons ever were taught in the 'desert.' Well we know God uses people in various situations and denominations and people Christian's inside and out of organised services still all struggle with their own nature and the fear of man which brings a snare. Thanks you for sharing your small testimony it was very encouraging.
step up a whatsapp group, facebook group gather all the phone numbers together and you will be surprise how you will be fulfilled. Me for one will be out for such groups.+2348023610799
This is where I am today also. I grew up the son of a preacher. I started on this journey out of the reilgious system 25 years ago, when I hit rock bottom while "leading" a "church." The "church" had no answers, no one walked with me, and I was on my own. That is when I ran into, what I call, the brick wall of Jesus Christ. I learned then He is the only answer and began the journey of what you laid out in this video. Thank you for laying it out so well. I actually really got a glimpse of my journey when i was 12 years old. I remember going down to my dads study and asking him if I could talk. He said sure. I told him, " Dad you preach REALLY good lessons on what not to do. But how do I NOT do them." He didn't have an answer for me. Looking back, the only thing he knew was how to reinforce his denominational beliefs each Sunday. He had no real answers. I think that is the point with the bigger religious system as a whole and why "Christianity" lost the culture war in this country. The religious system didn't have any real answers. Oh, they would tell you come to church and it will all be better. Oh they might help you suffer through the crisis you were in at the time, but they never answered the core questions or problems.
Ten years ago God spoke so clear to me " come out from among her" i thought he was meaning the world..then he began to open my eyes in the " church" to the " program" that man conceived for those who want to sleep. I was awake. Now husband and i are part of a home group be it a few people but the line of separation is so clear , those who want to sleep come there and leave , those whose heart is after Christ , the spirit feeds , they grow connected to Him, not to a program
DEBI, DEBI-----The words "come out of her" were spoken to bring an evil spirit out of a woman. How shameful for millions of you to change that to mean come out of the RCC !
I grew up in a Baptist Church, that denied an unsaved neighbor coming in the doors with us because she was wearing jeans!! She was lost and had that impression of the Lord. I got away from the Baptist nightmare, thankfully, and now just have a personal relationship with Jesus and don't attend church anymore. All anyone needs is to open your Bible to find the truth, not sit and listen to someone else's doctrine. I let Jesus teach me, not man!
Dizziemiss Lizzie my pastor keeps it real. He doesn’t care what you were 15 seconds before walking in because Christ makes all things new and it for everyone. Thank the Lord he lead me to a born again church, but still gotta stay in the word because we all have false teachings. God bless you.
The Scriptures do say that men should not dress in women's clothing and vice versa. Look around U and look at the drag queens and kings! God is not a God of confusion! He is Holy and will not be mocked!
Dizziemiss Lizzie, the Holy Spirit led me out of the Baptist Church too sister, and once I left I began truly building a close personal relationship with my Savior & Heavenly Father by letting Yeshua teach me also. I follow Him only, not man. Blessings to you.🤗
We should find a church that preaches the word of God and not doctrines. Ask God to lead you. Someone needs your fellowship and you may be the only person to reach them. God has no aloner in his kingdom God wants his people to love the undesirables and people who need God's love. My prayers are with you. Also remember no matter where you go there is no perfect church. I love Classical music and only hear it around CHRISTMAS time. Bach wrote many choruses for the church I listen to them here on youtube. I still love my pastor because he preaches the word of God. He don't water down the word. Sin is still sin and do means do. Maybe I better read my bible today. God be with you.
Charmain Williams-Farrar false religions dominate the world. Satan is the God of this world and the father of all lies. False religions spew lies, collect tithings and are extremely rich. False religions however have their days counted. The Bible reassured that. True Christians are but a minority in this world.
The Great Catholic Monarch is coming to sweep aside the Masonic Republics and restore The Holy Church a Ross the world. Peter and Paul will raise up a holy Pope.
I’m so glad my church got it right. No pastor is above anyone and we have about 4 that rotate in our congregation of 100. We talk about these “systems” and do away with them. Members come up and share their testimonies regularly and people speak when God puts something on their heart. It’s just easy 💜 and spirit filled with biblical truths. And yes you can interrupt when the Lord gives you a word
I too left my Church 6 months ago for the very same reasons. I felt as if God lifted the veil from my eye's to see the true things that were taking place there. So I study on my own and read and search for wonderful teaching like yours to keep me inspired in the truth of our Lord and Savior. To much selling and money tranfering going on , and not enough word of Gods Truth.
Don't leave church because you might be in the one God will use to transform your church. I pray every night for all nations of Tue earth because the church has become something else. I want you to know the church is a body of believers not a building. When l walk on the street, l sense who is a christian and who is not whenever l am very prayerful. Globally, God is doing a new thing. The holy spirit is at work. Dont be discouraged. Pray more.
The West in general is slipping financially and in terms of workers rights, standards of living and other similar things, ironically because our societies are worshipping money, and many of the big organised denominations are dealing in big money. We now all chase filthy lucre, and it is time we started to simply seek Jesus first again.
My daughter and son in law, went to a church that had a new location, in a new building, and the second time they were there, one of the deacons came up to her husband, and said to him, your offerings are not what they are supposed to be, I have no idea how he thought he was justified in this, or how he got his figurers, but, this was the last time they darkened that door.
Crystal Morey I felt the same way as you , I tryed to watch TV Christian programs but Was Left feeling empty as well , they to are run by 501c2 Baal making money, It is the System that is evil , it's not Lord Jesus Christ children , God is waking up people , Who want to hear the truth,
I was talking to lady one day and the topic of mega churches came up. I expressed that I don't like mega churches for many reasons. But, my two main reasons were because I don't feel the pastors have a closeness with their members as they should, and, it seems at that point, it is more of a performance/show instead of actually saving souls. Needless to say, she got upset, pretty much defending them and saying that they show the "number of people being saved." And if I disagreed with her, I was a lost soul...I disagree but I don't consider myself a lost soul. I just don't see the point in a huge church with cameras, and on TV. It feels very rehearsed and misleading. My opinion.
The tele-evangelists are all ordained and have had holy orders done on them and are servants of the Vatican which is The Red Dragon / Lucifer's Temple.
Janice Thorton a mega church is just a congregation that has two thousand or more members. Some churches were so busy doing God’s work that the membership started to grow. You can’t stop that. There is nothing wrong with that. With more people you need more space for those people. The church in acts had 3,000 in it
Janice Thorton, I spent quite a while shopping around for a church until I finally gave up. I've since found a nice little home church, but I still go back to the mega churches occasionally. I don't go for the fellowship for the same reasons you outlined, but when I do strike up a conversation with someone and the topic comes up, I always point out that I'm not a member. I'm just there for the show. Some of these performances are better than the shows in Las Vegas. There's nothing in scripture that says we can't enjoy a good show once in a while, right? As the narrator of the video pointed out, he wasn't addressing the theology so there's nothing wrong with listening to a Christ centered presentation either.
The Bible says in the last days, that God's spirit will move across the land, I have seen a growing change where many true born again believers, are being called out of church. The church system is corrupt, and has been turned over to the occult.
@@anonymousguitarist9096 You are right! False teaching everywhere and most people dont even know there is anything "missing" or "wrong". They just dont get it.
Nancy King : The church became corrupt the moment it became linked with secular political powers. Only after then did Christians feel justified in killing one another over political and theological differences. There isn’t likely to be revival in this country because egregious, hubristic, and contentious Christians don’t really want it. They want to be able to crush, despise, and hate their enemies, not only their enemies but those with whom they disagree.
@John Eldred We are being called out of false doctrines and such, and yes, the Bible says we are not to forsake the coming together of believers. The Church is the body of Christ, so it makes no sense for them to say we are being called out of the church.
I also have the same wish but people nowadays couldn't care less about the Bible (I'm talking about "Christians"). They just want a denomination that makes them "feel good".
One of the infinite benefits of becoming Light and becoming the infinite Universe (God) and becoming the infinite Heavens is - th-cam.com/video/_OAIw-pQ4V8/w-d-xo.htmlm17s . is that we never have to hear a single peep out of you totally useless christian COWARDLY demonic fear-monger and control-driven A-holes ever again
Yes and in that same verse it says "because you have rejected knowledge..." People lack knowledge because they have rejected it. They don't want truth, they only want what makes them feel good.
I used to like going to church. You've just describe every reason why I dont go anymore...but I tell you this...i always find an opportunity to tell others of the love of Christ...praise The Lord God in Jesus name Amen!
@kcuf7 Im Catholic because thats what I was tough...I like pentacostal church I love Jesuschrist...where ever Jesuschrist is thats where I want to be...I still go to both at least once a year...love everybody so much it hurts...thats Jesuschrist love in my heart...I hit rockbottom in my life and Jesuschrist came into my life and in my heart and saved me!
@@celestialbody6890 C/B Please google: "The Journey Home". You will hear people like yourself being interviewed, that searched for truth and found it. Give it five minutes of your time. Good luck.
Its been long I met with the saints to fellowship, but am truthfully and anxiously longing to resume fellowship sooner than latter. because the body of Jesus Christ i.e the church is the believer's power house. forsaking the meetings is not good for our spiritual growth. spreading the love of Christ is one thing and fellowshipping with like minded saints is another. its my prayer that God lead us into the right congregation devoid of any leaven of religiosity and organizational marketing strategies. God be with you
thank you for making this video! I'm in 9th grade so i go to the youth group and I have seen the youth group go from strong Christians to strong worldly people and it makes me sick to my stomach to watch it so i have been looking for other youth who want to go deeper and I have Found 3 or 4 so we are trying to bring it back because 3 years ago we were a strong youth group and i want to see it become that again to if it's God's will it will be done.
brandon ray ....prayers. we attended a mega penticostal church until i asked the pastor of a rumor that he had removed the lutheren ELCA sign. He admitted it was true. ELCA supports abortion and gay pastors. the vote was 666 in mpls mn 2009
This guy is right on , it is very hard to find a place in any church because of all the formats and politics . I play music once in a while at church,s and I see many people today making a great deal of money doing a music ministry , I will never charge a dime for any music I do in church . I have come to the place where I think the church is being controlled by the devil through the love of money. If you are being payed by a church for doing music or teaching and you feel good about it your are being fooled by the devil, it all should be a donation .
NO, the church is the one that our Saviour established 2000 years ago and PROMISSED to be with FOREVER ! ! [ try BELIEVING the bible and not changing it as you accuse others of ! ]
@@karaa7595 Nope. Christ founded ONE Church. From there Protestantism began. From there the doctrine of this guy and others came to further destabilize how Christ meant for us to come together. You are witnessing, and are a part of the devils last gambit.
@@karaa7595 we have all fallen short of God's grace. No one is perfect. Some of The gifts of the spirit are discernment. If we see something wrong we should be able to confront the leaders of that building, but it won't help because they would see it as "you can't please everyone" And that's the point! They aren't pleasing God, they are catering after the people who give them money to be there. Oh hum... like Ellen degenerouce would say 🤔
When I was a young girl we had a wonderful church. Anyone who had a word spoke it, anyone who had a song we sang it, we were a very small group who met in homes and eventually an old, run down building. And we were blessed. Nothing forced or faked. I felt God's presence with that group that I haven't felt since in any congregation I have visited. I graduated high school and left for a couple of years. When I returned it had become programmed and felt wrong. The elders (my grandmother and 2 others) had died or were too sick and younger(my father and the elders' children) more structured types had taken over. I haven't been to church service regularly since but I desire that old, first way. I fear it was so rare that I'll never find it again. Thanks for this video. It helps me feel better about "abandoning" the ritual and being disloyal to the remaining members.
That church died the moment it moved into a building solely for the sake of church services and they're was a need for money. As soon as the congregation got too big for a house they need to split up to a second home. But that ego of building up the numbers always works its way in.
so I'm not the only one who sees this. SMALLhouse groups, unpaid leaders without a vested interest. REAL bible study open discussion sharing of your Faith in every day life oh how I want this in my life. west midlands U.K. HELP
ellie larkin There's nothing wrong with a church family coming together in a building once per week. The sign of an obedient Church family is that they also meet in small groups. I love small groups. And people that don't take part in them really miss out on the move of God. There's something so special about meeting in small groups. God bless you and lead you to all fellowship that honors him. 💕
This is the Church and its Goal. Many will be deceived in the end times. I am having many struggles standing alone on God's word. It is not a popular stance. Please Pray for me Saints and I will pray for You. Thank you Brothers and Sisters in Christ!!
I wish I could find a house congregation to worship with. Our churches either speak error or are hung up on feeding us milk over and over with no meat.
You and me, both! I've been to about every church in this valley, and truth, no matter who has it, is not the treasure. That in itself is the basic error. bb
I’m totally with you on that!! I thought I was the only one. I’m trying to find a group of believers who want to congregate in the name of the Lord in my home or someone home. Church is not a business, it’s the body of Christ

Boo Mae Im with you I have a small meeting every Wednesday and Saturday we start at 10 on both days, we have communion every week and have lunch together ,we don’t have a pastor but we are under the leadership of Christ and the teachings are shared and spirit lead. it is an exciting time for us as we don’t finish until we finish 2.30/3.00 it’s amazing and everyone leads and we take the time to answer questions and discuss what has been taught by whom ever has bought the message .The Word says where two or three are gathered together He Jesus is in the midst of them which is very comforting as at this time there is only 3of us and sadly to say one of the sisters has said she has learnt more about relationship with Jesus than 20years in a Pentecostal Church ,which is very sad really as I have a heart for the Churches and their teachings ,but do not know why they don’t hear what the Spirit is saying to the church and they do need to repent. Take care and blessings to you.
@@oboostrauss8760 Blessings to you sister in Christ, from Croatia! My wife and I are also God's newborns, and are departed in every way from Catholic church, and were baptized in Jesus name, and are new creatures. God bless... but we "stumbled" across pastor, also born again that is a member of Pentecostal church, people there are reading from the Scriptures, mostly are driven by Holy Ghost, and for now everything looks good. What are your thoughts on Pentecostal church in general? Are all corrupted, or are just on the way to become corrupted, or are there some, so to say "denominations" that teaches sound doctrine? Blessings to you and your family in the holy name of Yeshua Hamashiach.
Hrvoje Ban Blessings to you my brother and sister . There is a lot of compromise in the Pentecostal Churches which is very sad but I pray for them . In my group , I suggest that each of us work out our own salvation with with fear and trembling KJV Phillipians 2:12 TEACHER are judged more harshly James 3:1 We must Rightly divide the word of truth 2Timothiy 2:15 As it is written in John 16:13 •••• The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth and this is how I walk my walk. Not perfection of course but we must use wisdom and never follow a man only the God Man Jesus Himself All Christians should pray for discernment and test the spirits if the teachings don’t line up with the word ,you are free to challenge them with your Pastor. As we can judge the church but not unbelievers but the church won’t always listen so there is a lot of pride also in the church. Your so blessed to know Jesus as your saviour Im also blessed knowing that. May the Lord bless and keep you may His face always shine on you and give you peace Shalom
Seriously? This? THIS is literally the best videos you’ve ever seen? I feel sorry for you. This video is a joke. Not ALL churches are like what he’s speaking of. 🙄
This wretched me. I’ve been talking to my mother lately about the custom to leave right after the service and the unfamiliarity you can face in your own church. I remember reading the descriptions about the early Christians in acts and thinking “Wow, this is NOT how church is today.” Please pray for me. I’m from Germany and I’d love to be in a spirit filled home congregation.
Hallo! Ich kann ,,Die letzte Reformation" empfehlen. Die haben auf ihrer Webseite eine Karte wo man in der eigenen Umgebung Gläubige ausfindig machen kann (die meisten davon haben den Heiligen Geist erhalten meiner Erfahrung nach) Zudem orientieren sie sich genau an dem Modell von ,,Kirche" wie man sie in der Apostelgeschichte findet.
“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 NLT www.bible.com/116/heb.10.25.nlt
I was wondering why God pulled me out of church and now am getting closer with him thanks for this now I no what's going on amazing how God works thank you .
I always felt weird in a church so it was hard for me to go, So I haven't been part of the church most of my Christian life and I think, for me anyway is because you search the word of God with such a God given hunger, then naturally you delight in His Word because that is GOD, Amen. You are not swayed by corrupt thoughts of others, because you get it all from His word alone, that's all you have, when you are not in church, unless you spend your time listening to teaching through the media then it;s the same thing. However you miss out big time because of the loss of fellowship. We need to gather and not forsake the gathering of us together. So beware I backslid or wandered for a decade, thinking I could live without His word, He woke me up and brought me back full bore into his Word, memorizing as much as I can and speaking the word back to me. Restoring all that was gone because I didn't live in His word. Now I live there and I will seek and find fellowship I pray you do as well and are greatly blessed, Amen!
I agree with you. I have desired a home type small group setting for years. I never felt like I fit in at any Church building I attended. It wasn't because I didn't like the people.....they would invite me to come over or go out to eat......but I'm not into playing silly games and callin it fellowship. I'm not into the "christian" movies. I'm not into the latest trends or fads. I don't hear alot of Biblical truth in the praise and worship music. It's been uplifting and refreshing the last few days of seeing I'm not the only one who doesn't fit into the mold of the modern church. I do NOT think it's a coincidence that many are feeling this way.
me too. I found myself closer to the Lord and more apt to share the Good News. I was having trouble connecting at churches. I left feeling worse and empty. I don't like seeing all these coffee houses pop ping up. its taking over true fellowship and prayer.
hey buddy I've felt this way for a long time since 1997 been in & out of church I've always felt something wasn't right but wanted to ask how did you find a home ministry
Yes, the “performance model” with stage and audience has always felt off to me. For introverts like me, home church is comforting because too many people are overwhelming but more importantly home church is biblical. When I visited my brother and his family most mornings we would all pray, read the Bible and share what was laid on our hearts from that passage and worship the Lord in spirit and truth. So much more edifying than feeling anonymous in a sea of people listening to a message and remaining quiet then, leaving with a sense of loneliness. “Church” can be a lonely and that’s wrong. Thank you for this video❤
Totally agree ... We who have this longing of a True believers congregation/assembly /fellowship, are scattered across the globe ! The Holy Spirit has brought us together via TH-cam channel like yours, brother in Christ, to encourage us to stand firm in our faith in Christ Jesus Who is our Blessed Hope ! Thank you for collecting articles and valuable information, and compiling them to share on TH-cam ...you are a channel of God's blessings unto His Beloved children 😄
The Bottom line: Unless your BORN AGAIN OF SPIRIT, you have NO WAY into the Kingdom of Heaven! In these days, good luck finding a Bible Teaching, Spirit Filled Congregation. As a Patrol man years ago I did the LORD's Work, & paid the price for it. My Church was in the Street, & it still is, that is where ever the Spirit leads me. Allow me to Recite a Poem by Mr. Ray Stevens from the 80's: 'Would Jesus wear a Rolex on his Television Show?' Woke up this morning, turned on my TV set. There in living color was something I can't forget. This man was preaching at me, yeah laying on the charm, Askin' me for 20. with 10,000. on his arm. He wore designer clothing and a big smile on his face, Selling me salvation while they sang 'Amazing Grace' Asking me for money when he had all the signs of wealth. I almost wrote a check out, but then I asked myself. Would he wear a pinkie ring? Would he drive a fancy car? Would his wife wear furs and diamonds? Would his dressing room have a star? If he came back tomorrow, there's something I'd like to know. Can you tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex on his Television show? Would Jesus be Political if he came back to Earth? Have his home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth? Take money from those poor folks when he comes back again? And admit He's talked to all those preachers who say they've be talking to him? God Bless Everyone, & walk by Faith not by Sight.
Exactly that`s what I always ask myself. I have woken up no more blind but weep for the blind. Or would Jesus` Children and wife wear clEvage , high heels , fake nails, hair , tight fitting clothes and Women wearing tight fitting pants? NO I DON`T THINK SO. PEACE
THANK YOU! The church system is not what Yeshua had in mind. That's why I do bible study, where everyone gets to contribute and bring up a topic, instead of one or two people lecturing hundreds on what they believe.
Why do build big temples or churches? We can praise God with small place. Why can't use that money to donate to poor people, victims of such chaos etc.?
S/OCHAVO I am saying this knowing 99% of you will not believe it but here goes anyway. The Catholic church is the LARGEST charitable organization in the WORLD. It feeds, clothes, houses and nurses more poor than any other organization [ Wikipedia ] and despite the horrible lies told about it every day, it never mentions these facts. It is following HIS command to Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the afflicted. It has soup kitchens and homeless shelters all over the world. Bad church, EH ?
Our church community does just that we are engaged in feeding disadvantaged people, helping others in far away places, providing for the lonely, outreach to the young people, having fun in the right kind of way. Helping local people who have lost their jobs, providing bereavement counselling etc etc. Yes we meet in a church building and we have a Minister who is great and willing to be questioned on what he preaches. We aren't perfect but we love God and each other and help each other when needed.
SILVER WINGS I don't have to watch your video. All I have to do is read the endless, hate-filled, evil, anti Christian curses that are hurled at my beloved church 1000 times a day. [ if they persecuted ME, they will persecute you. ! You will be hated BY ALL because of MY name ! ] Good luck with the hatred !
You are helping me wake up. I cried a little at this because I am fell for the system even though I felt something off about it. I must be true to God.
I've been shown the back door so to speak with two SBC church's. I actually spoke up in my youth during a service, and the pastor quickly made a mockery of me in front of the congregations. This video is a welcome breath of truth. Thank you.
“So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.” Acts 14:23
Absolutely. I agree with that. There are no apostles on the earth now and I am always troubled when I see churches with people who call themselves apostle this and that. People like to be praised and carry titles that make them feel important: What could ever make us feel more important than knowing we are a child of the living God & we have been saved by Jesus Christ by faith in Him by His grace. I’m sure God is very grieved by the state of most churches in our world.
Terese McMillan I’m sure there are many churches that are not functioning in the five fold ministries, but you can’t blanket statement “there are no apostles on earth..”
The purpose of elders etc. being appointed at that time was because this was THE FIRST Church being established. It has long been established and there now is no need to use elders. The only thing still existing in THE TRUE ECCLESIA are those who the Holy Spirit have given one of the 5 spiritual offices or FUNCTIONS (not titles to be worn), which are prophet(esses), pastor, evangelist, teacher and apostle. That can be found in Ephesians 4:11. These spiritual functions are for the purpose of like it says in verse 12, to edify the body, for the perfecting of the saints (NOT CHRISTIANS) and for the work of the ministry. And keep in mind that the term "Elder" in the Bible is not a Holy Spirit appointed function or spiritual office, it simply means older people. They expected the older generation to be able to oversee the others, so this was a man appointed function, not a Holy Spirit designated function.
I have fallen away from "Churchianity" for some time now. It has bothered me because church members (people I knew while attending church) tell me "we are not suppose to do it alone" that is why there are church buildings to attend. How does a building to gather in represent fellowship? Just to be greeted upon entering and told to have a good day when leaving is not my understanding of fellowshipping. And yes a message is preached for 45 min. but it is never about sins, hell, or anything that might alienate a member because they may take offense because they are living in sin. No wouldn't want to preach the truth because if someone is offended then they may loose their tithing from them, which tithing that church's do is not scriptural in the KJV. Yes it is lonely going it alone but at least I am not offending God by attending some church that man has set up under deception and finding out too late that the god you are worshipping is actually the adversary himself.
Deb M About tithing: Jesus Christ was asked by the Pharisees whether they should pay tithes to God or taxes to Caesar (when they asked this, they were seeking to accuse Him). Jesus had them show him a coin and asked whose name is on the coin. The Pharisees said, "Caesar's." Then Jesus said, "Render unto Caesar which is Caesar's, and unto God which is God's." Is tithing biblical? Yes. Are there those in power who misuse the Treasury for their own personal gain? Yes; Judas Iscariot also did this. And people have mistakenly thought that tithing is not biblical. But in reality, it is biblical. There is a big problem with unbelief in the church today. They don't believe in anything. It would be more honest for those individuals to call themselves atheists instead of calling themselves Christians. And you also have many Word of Faith prosperity preachers who are doing a sales pitch that sounds like a get rich quick scheme, but they attach God's name and disguise it as a "faith" message. There is a big problem in the Church today. All ministers, regardless of who they are, are easy targets for accusations to be against them. I am all for exposing false teachers and false prophets. But those who are true ministers of God: Leave them alone and let them do their job as shepherd. But you have to have discernment. Those who are false teachers and false prophets, know who they are and don't listen to them. And warn others, so they are not deceived.
Scripture says that we are to depend on the Heavenly Father to guide us in our studies, not man (Isaiah 28:9). The church system was set up to deceive and keep followers in sin by believing a false gospel. The Laws were never done away with and we should be using the Most Highs name, Yah (Psalms 68:4 KJV). Read Deut 28 KJV to learn who the real Israelites are. Read Gen 10:1-3, Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9 KJV to learn who they fake jews are. Beware of modern day Pharisees who teach hate and false doctrine. True Israel is quietly waking up to be the light of this dark world. Psalms 111:10 KJV Shalom.
faitje love Not to mention that repent involves turning away from your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ to save you from your sins. I know that we're not perfect. At the same time, it's not enough to say a prayer. If someone is genuinely saved, there is evidence that shows. Our salvation is not works-based. At the same time, if we truly love God, we will obey His commandments.
Wow! Just Wow! I am so grateful for you brother! I have been thinking and saying this for years! I have felt this in my spirit and heart for about 7 years now. But my husband and I had deemed, until now, that we were completely alone in this, I know that sounds silly but I’m being completely honest. Every time I went to church, and we have been to several in various states, I felt like I was going to a concert and classroom teaching for 1-2 hours and then going home. And I started to think, what is the point of going at all? To sit and listen to some guy talk week after week about the same scriptures every other Pastor talks about with no new revelations to a “classroom” full of “students” that never graduate? Why is there no progress? Why are we, as the body and church, always broken in spirit and pocketbook and we never reach a place of breakthrough, maturity, and discipleship? And why are pastors rich and well fed while many in the “church” are starving? And even worse, now as a church we are welcoming all sinners and condoning people and brethren to stay sinners, for the sake of “love” and “acceptance”. What kind of “love” is this that encourages a degenerative spiritual state and twists the gospel to keep members happy and paying? This is not the righteousness of Christ! This is sick and disturbing! We became fed up with this BUT in a way, out of guilt of not being a part of a congregation, we still attended “church (the building)” along with all the other anti-social robot Christians (I say this in love). It wasn’t until about a month ago that we finally had enough, and Christ put it on our hearts to stop this nonsense and look for or even start a house church. And although met with much opposition, we will stand firm in this. You gave me confirmation that I wasn’t just losing it, or being too critical, or maybe even judgmental, as many have told us. I have been torn about this for years and I just knew that Jesus was revealing this to us even if NO ONE else agreed! I appreciate you soooooo much! I don’t even know how to express it. Where are these people that think like you and have had this revelation? I felt they were non-existent! Where can we meet more people like this? We are in Texas lol. You have given us new hope. The Holy Sprit is speaking through you my brother! I speak blessings over your life! Thank you for sharing your revelations and wisdom with BOLDNESS! You have our infinite gratitude! We have subscribed to your channel. Peace and Grace to you Brother!
If you crave for our Lord God Jesus Christ real PRESENCE, and have the fullness of the means of salvation, go to a Catholic Parish Church in your area and take "Faith Formation" to have a better understanding of The Catholic Christian Faith and not get caught up with distorted views on BAPTISM, SALVATION, and WORSHIP. And for now here's the reason why you should become a Catholic Christian: . . . THERE IS NO OTHER CHURCH . but The Catholic Christian Church: The Mother Church because Jesus Christ, Himself, founded The Catholic Christian Church in Jerusalem, Israel. . The Catholic Christian Church put The Bible together - to use The Bible to correct The Catholic Christian Church is ABSURD! . The Catholic Christian Church has the PREPONDERANCE of MIRACLES like the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, Italy; the Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe imprinted on the tilma of Saint Juan Diego; the apparitions of our Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France and Fatima, Portugal; the Shroud of Turin in Italy; and the incorruptible bodies of famous Saints like Saint Bernadette, Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Catherine Laboure, Saint Louise de Marillac, and lately, Saint Father Pio and Saint Pope John XXIII, and has the famous Saints’ writings from their great minds - an indication that our Triune God is communicating only to this Catholic Christian Church. . There is no other faiths in the world that can bolster these kind of credentials - only The Catholic Christian Faith! . How much more the promise of THE RESURRECTION as promised by PROPERLY receiving The Holy Eucharist: th-cam.com/video/nefa2yK9w9I/w-d-xo.html . . ROMAN CATHECHISM PASTORAL PRINCIPLE: . "The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope, or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.” . Take care and keep in touch, always!
It's the same in the UK, but less so. We don't really have the American system which seems to have grandstanding pastors and mega churches and big money accruing to a few individuals, but we have an organised church that is far more about money, social status and the 'better sort' of people. controversialchristianityandfaith.blogspot.com/2018/08/christianity-is-not-middle-class.html
Me and my wife had been praying and seeking God in this matter for some years... the Lord in His mercy directed our steps to the Lord's Recovery. You might heard or not about it before. It started up in China at the beginning of the last century through brother Watchman Nee and continued by Witness Lee. I recommend you read some of the literature or listen to their radio www.lsmradio.com/... it could be the answer to your prayer. Just sayin... God bless you!
Oh dear. I came out of the Catholic system and found salvation in Christ. I went to enough Latin speaking ritual services to last a lifetime. Sorry. That's my experience.
“I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.” -Paul the Apostle I don’t think the gifts of the Spirit have ceased, but you shouldn’t worry one bit if you don’t have the gift of tongues or prophecy. Those aren’t the only two.
LoL.. if you or anyone else that you know of have the biblical gift of tongues hop on a plane and go speak Hebrew to the Jews.. tongues are a language not some gibberish SHALAHALLLSHAAAHA BAADADSAALAAA nonsense... That's of Satan
This is absolutely profound and I can identify with this video on all points. My eyes have been opened to so many things others are blind to. I thought I was imagining or overthinking. One day in prayer the Lord spoke to my heart on the very things you are speaking about. Our job is to get out into the world, the street corners and reach out to people. The laborers are all indoors in cool air conditioned buildings while the harvest suffers. Thank you for this video.
I saved this video a while back and just finished watching just now and was thrown. We left the formal church a couple years ago and the Lord led us to begin gathering in our home where we fellowship through food and discussion based on the Word Of God. Everyone participates in the discussion. It has been good. We end with prayer for each other. Thank you for making this confirming video. God is calling His people back to him, and prayerfully we all hear the call.
That's because it's a reference to the concept that can be visualised from the word itself and not magic. To see this objectively simply draw the word shape 'GOD' into a whole image. A compass and square acts as the control in this repeatable and observable demonstration of the word.
@Bladetruther 978 Well said. Catholic church buildings are temples to Lucifer or Baal. I grew up in the RCC. I escaped their bondage at 32 years of age. I am one of the relative few that has broken the bonds of this Luciferian death cult.
The Holy Spirit isn't a feeling tho. If you're going to a church and you're trying to feel the Holy Spirit that's backwards because your feelings are deceptive.
I am looking for a church to fellowship with. I have lost all my “church” friends when I quite going to church. I met with a couple of them and explained my concerns about the “church”, and they quit speaking to me. They felt I was drifting away and following a false god. Even when I presented biblically sound scripture confirming my concerns, and how our “church” was not biblically sound. I feel very alone at times, as I cannot find anyone who, not just, reads the Bible, but lives the Bible. Even friends I have had for years are slowly diminishing from my life.
u're in good company. I'm Looking For Believers who C What I C In my Studying Of The Bible, and everywhere u go, they believe what their minister believes over All Scripture, and I'm tired of it
Rachael For Jesus said if they hate you, they hated me first. I know how you feel...Just pray and wait on God and he will send the right believers in your life
I hope God leads you to a godly and scripturally sound church, but remember the video graphic and the notable quotable caption, "It is better to walk alone then to follow the crowd in the wrong direction." That's where I am now. Parsons Carlson.
This is something I have often questioned for a long time, and have had a longing for truly living and fellowshipping like the early Church did. Blessed video, and God bless you!💕🕊️
You just use your faith for your ego to divide and hate Nothing is dark - ker than christianity. You worship government as christianity was government implemented. Thats why you have less spiritual consciousness than a potato
People sat under Paul and a pastor is overseer and that is biblical True the church has become a show, but to throw out the church completely is also not biblically accurate. You still can gather in whatever building fits your gathering. With a pastor and a worship team. We should never idolize, but we can revere and follow christ like men. Paul said imitate as I imitate christ. Find a good small church and serve christ.
More fault-finding and lack of grace for other Christians in this video, as usual. SC, take a Dale Carnegie course or something - learn to engage ideas and people more effectively than your slamathons. Hint: You can pick up some good pointers from Leighton Flowers :)
Where does the bible teach that the pastor is the overseer over a congregation of people. Jesus is the overseer and elders provide some spiritual leadership to point people toward Jesus.
I agree with everything you've presented in this video. I was raised to go to church every Sunday. I was too young then to see the truth. Now that I'm "woke," I wont be fooled. Thank you for this video.
Susan Grant so you have service at your home with your family and take take time even day to teach the word of God, you give your money's to poor and homeless or you just stop completely ? Go back to church no all churches are the same they are million of churches. Don't pay attention to thid video, they do more harm than good to the gospel of Christ !
There were times when I went to church, I felt it was just a show, and not real. I might say, Pretentious. I am nobody of course, it just didn't seem real.
Thank you. You have summed my last few years experience and revelations. I can't believe I actually found a video to describe my life's greatest discoveries about my faith. PS can you re-release this vid under a more friendly name so as others less curious would stumble upon it and watch it
You just use your faith for your ego to divide and hate Nothing is dark - ker than christianity. You worship government as christianity was government implemented. Thats why you have less spiritual consciousness than a potato
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AREOUND THE WORLD WORK ON SATURDAY ! WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, FOR GOODNESS SAKE ? Love God and your neighbour, pray for guidance and obey the 10 commandments.
Why go to church when you see nothing happening among it's people and no one is seeing healing, deliverance and everyone seems so unhappy? I believe that until you yourself read the scriptures for yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to work in you by sharing the gospel with your neighbour, etc. Going to church once a week does not make you a Christian and if your works are dead then you have nothing in you to even reflect who Christ is? Until you have been born-again and see yourself transformed and doing what the Lord has spoken of then I encourage all to seek the Kingdom of God first and not a church that is dead and void of God's gifts.
LovNJoy Peace I totally agree. I left two large churches because there was too much cliche going on and the pastors did more traveling than being at church. Right now I have church with 20 or less people at a school gym. And Ive learned more of the Bible and have learned how to build my own personal relationship with God. I'm so careful of all the church drama. I kinda stay in my own lane because sometimes people in the church are just as messy and full of drama like anybody. I'm just very guarded.
If many of the people are seeking and searching for God these places, are we to let them be lost because we are not in their midst, humbling holding our lamp high to help the sheep that Christ called, find Him? Christ spoke to, healed and went into dine with those that the people of God would not have ever considered doing so before He came. We can be a light to the few we may encounter and pray all the while for His Spirit to be revived there and awaken many going down the wrong path. If we follow Jesus, then we can't just hide away in our safe place and let them follow the dead. We love all of them in God's love that we have to diligently seek rather than our limited understanding of loving. We are directed by Jesus to meet, David showed us how to worship and if we will just let God guide us to be the Shepard's that we have been commanded/commissioned to be, many of those desiring Him will be loved into His truth because we let Him use us there. He will bring to us those that have an ear to hear, that we might have otherwise discarded and we would have let be led astray. This is compassion, in part of seeking the Kingdom of God.
Ana, Some would say, go as your heart directs you but beware..."the heart is deceitful above all things" Jeremiah 17:9 I also felt God called me away from the church...felt great going for walk in nature on Sundays. Praying trying to talk to God (no remorse or guilt) no church and no worries. But slowly I began to struggle without that connection to other believers....Not saying your wrong...just saying be careful
This must be an old video simply because by now, we need to question the theological soundness of churches today. It started with theatrics but now they have changed the Gospel to accommodate and please the masses.
It is more than theological soundness, it is also the walking out of it. He is not saying doctrine is not important. His intro speaks about the "False "Church System" Deception and the "systematized business that "church" has become". That's his emphasis on this video. He's shaking us awake to something we're all so used to and seen so much we don't even recognize what we're seeing. I was in a very small church that had, for what I knew at the time, very sound doctrine. God blessed the word to me each Sunday. The people seemed friendly to me, I enjoyed being around them at potlucks after service and occasionally at someone's house. God used the time there to stabilize me as He'd woken me to the Apostasy after calling me out of my old church. To make the story short. They were only the church at church, on Sunday and Wednesday. No love shown to the sick or old and feeble. Soon, the Pastor was heading into Contemplative prayer and I came to see the strong vein of Witchcraft underlying the congregation. I tried to talk with them, but no one wanted to hear. They weren't being the church, building or no building. They were getting together for a social program that pleased them and bringing their occultic practices in with them. They were still maintaining the systematized church as business model but fell apart. They regrouped under the same model but no longer exist as a church because they lost their first love.
@@humptydumpty5921 in time, it will be most if not all churches...its spreading like wild fire....even the Pentecostal churches - which were known for strong rules and very conservative as being affected. A while back they had a worship competition with rewards for the best worship team. Now that was ridiculous. But it think they realized the error and stopped it after the event. Times has changed and even the practice of women pastors is rampant...Each day and year, this generation is learning to interpret scripture based on their present time and making large adjustments thinking it has to make changes due to cultural differences. CRAYZNESS
Tejano37 Your words are my feelings exactly!! I was Pentecostal .... this video is what I needed to see. Wondering tho....worshipping Jesus? Is this a direct violation of the commandments, particularly “Thou shalt have no other god’s before me ?” I’m not even sure how to pray anymore.😢. I just want to serve the Creator, The Most High, who I know as “God”, thru the church upbringing. I’m thankful for other’s who are awake. I wish there was a support group or something.
Hope Ful I know exactly what you mean. I had those same feelings as I grew up. My theological beliefs and the things I learned to be truth we’re quickly changing and realizing it was no truth what I learned. I looked to those family members that where strong in the church but found no support or understanding. I just read the whole Bible for myself and questioned every theological belief I learned. I made sure that what I believe is based on what I found the Bible to say and not on what someone else said. Now, everything I hear I research and see what the Bible says and decided what to believe or not. I don’t believe in women pastors, I don’t believe in using worship to reach the lost as an out reach. Worship is for believers not an outreach. To reach the lost, simply preach the Gospel and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. This music evangelism has lead to lavish theatrical performance that has become a social center and circus. I don’t believe in tithing nor in the order of church services with the pastor on an alter above the person..pastors were called to serve not be served.
+Marcia I am deeply thankful for Josh's videos. and Jacob Prasch's videos as well (Moriel TV). Josh has a gift for clarifying issues, and he sure gets under ol' Johnny Mac's skin. Lol!
Why do so many so called Bible believing Christians have trouble receiving this? I have shared this teaching with many and most react as if I am now on the lunatic fringe!
TH-cam has failed to notify me of your reply! Thank you for your reply, I do agree with all of the verses you have given. I have often thought this is a matter of God's timing. As well as this human nature doesn't change, and we are told the people do not listen to the prophets. I am not necessarily calling myself a prophet, but the words of God in 1 Sam 8:7 often go through my mind to reassure me, "for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them." 1 Sam 8:7. Rom 15:13
My husband and i both agree with the teaching, some think we are nuts for it as well. Wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in Jesus name, There He will be in the midst.
The reason why there is so much confusion is because most professing christians don't understand what 2 Tim 2:15 "KJV "15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.", and so many people put their trust in a pastor then studying the bible for themselves.
Amen and amen! Paul wrote it and few do it. The fake "church" we see today is the result of what happened while Paul lived and wrote:"2 Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes." He meant almost all who originally believed his gospel [Galatians et al] had apostatized back to religion/Judaizers etc. which eventually led to the Constantinian Roman Catholic Church and its Protestant daughters.
The 1st century Church in Asia is now the Eastern Orthodox Church. Christ founded one Church with Peter as the head apostle - that Church is now the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church with the pope as the successor of Peter.
Jonathan DeLeon So everywhere the word church is mentioned is the same church or is it talking about a different set of people? Says who that the "Church is now the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church with the pope as the successor of Peter."?
Thanks for provoking me to think and seek after the Lord for guidance, it is not easy to find a small group of people where you feel you are part of, like a family, I am thankful to the Lord I am part of one, but I do know many christians who long desperatedly for such a place of fellowship and cant find it, because some churches are focused on numbers and finances
It's a shame that there are so few real Churches out there. It's not that there aren't sincere people who love the Lord in these "business model" Churches. There are, and many of them seem to get by okay. Perhaps they go out of their way to establish relationships with other Christians and have fellowship. But, it's a shame that the Church so long ago seems to have forgotten the purpose of the Church. I've seen worldly "support groups" that function more like a real Church than most "Churches" do. There are a ton of scriptures that tell us what a real Church should be, but most congregations and preachers just seem to ignore most of them. If all we do is have an hour or two of sermons every week, we've never really experienced what God intended the Church to be. There should be fellowship meetings available every day of the week (Hebrews 3:13), and you don't need a "professional" Christian to be there. Most theology school graduates, while they may be intelligent and knowledgeable about some things, don't seem to get what a Church is supposed to be at all. God will send them the people He wants them to minister to, but many of them are too busy working on their "business model" to pay any attention to what the Holy Spirit is doing around them and join Him in His work. It's His work, not ours!
I AM AM SO HAPPY TO FIND MY FAMILY WITH THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PURE AND HONEST PEOPLE. THEY LIVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE. I LIKE FINDING BIBLE TRUTHS.
I can identify with all of the comments below... they sing, come just as you are, but they eventually reject you because your not married, your too poor, you don't dress right, or they simply don't want to respect you as a pastor... rejection is not of God! the list goes on and on... I've come to the conclusion that I would rather be alone and be right with God than to be in a fake congregation that that the Holy Spirit has obviously left! thank u for your vid.
2 young I've been homeless for a while due up circumstances outside my control. I used to think I'd get help from a church. I tried for fifteen years and they aren't set up to help anyone genuinely. They've always given me the cold shoulder for not being in their social classes and have condemned me for even needing help. I'm still homeless, now in Philadelphia. If you have any ideas I'm happy to hear them.
I'm there with you. Even in house churches, people just don't know what they are doing (many times) or don't care to 'do church' by the biblical model. Been alone for 15 years (longer, but I start with the start of my hard times in 2003). God bless you and lead you soon to godly men and women who will come alongside you and encourage you.
In the tiny church that my wife and I attend, we once had rickety metal chairs for people to set in. We now have benches for them. We used to have no platform but then when someone would speak, not all could hear them. We have a platform now and all are encouraged to use it (not just pastors and/or other leaders). When Jesus spoke in a synagogue he went to the front of the room so as to speak to the 'congregation.' When He spoke and thousands were saved, He did so from the sides of mountains and out in a boat where people could see and hear Him. My church has no place to congregate to have snacks before or after--oh, we do make coffee to encourage some to stay after and socialize and talk about their lives and read scripture and pray for one another. I see nothing wrong with this either. We do not take offering at our church and we don't ask for anything although people do bring money to the church to be spent on certain things--we have a food bank, the building and grounds have been paid off and we owe nobody, the electricity and heat stay turned on when we congregate and this gets paid too. We have Sunday School together (not in separate age groups) and in this meeting any and all speak whenever they feel they need to--it is encouraged. I first came to this church because we were invited--they came to me, not I to them. We also came because we had no food in our house--they fed us from their food bank and did not make us feel like lowlife's. When I was in the hospital for almost a month, the Pastor came to see me (many miles away) and asked that my wife call him for ANYTHING at ANY TIME (do you know how it felt to know that someone was willing to see to my wife's welfare when I could not be there for her)? I believe that the Scriptures point out that WE are the church--that the church is IN US. Were their no concern for the structure of the church / it's leadership, I don't believe that Timothy (and others) would have paid attention to one word that the Apostle Paul had to say to him. Peter was also certain to tell the 'congregation' of thousands who were complaining that THEY should choose seven men (of their own) who they would wish to have lead them--that is, he did not choose to take that opportunity to lord over them, rather, they did choose for themselves who they would submit to. I'm just tired of church-bashing and Christianity-bashing; yes, we were told that this day would come, but it doesn't make it easier for me to accept. There is so much squabbling going on between so-called Christians; seems these are not in the least, concerned about the Kingdom and bringing the lost to Jesus Christ. I think they just want to hear themselves and the Scriptures go against their own way of thinking (which we know also was said to come). I'm not happy about some things (including the Mega-Church), but I trust that God will take care of things. All I can do is continue to worship God, to pray, to teach the Gospel to others and love them, and be open to the direction of the Holy Spirit. How I choose to do this (inside a church or in a home or on the grass outside or in a boat or on a mountain side), is of no concern to me. Only that I follow the Will of God. I wish that God sees fit to speak to all of us tonight--wherever we are.
Northwoods Hermit--- Amen and God Bless you and yours. I agree with all that you wrote. Wish I could find a church like that here where I live but have not. You are Blessed.
Song i wrote(to tune of Little Boxes) Thousand steeples on the hillside, Deceive God's children just to come inside Where they line them up in pews, And have them stare "in Jesus Name" At the preachers, priests, and pastors They've turned Christ's body into a disaster! Cause they've robbed them of their birthright And they've made the lion tame. They've been lied to 'bout His Kingdom Cause Jesus resides right inside of 'em! New creations! Pure and holy No condemnation, guilt or blame. Be ye Baptist or Methodist, Charismatic or Presbyterian You're just slightly reformed Catholics And you sit there just the same! Just be sisters and be brothers, you'll be known for loving others. Not your doctrines or your buildings, worship services, "glad you came!" A thousand steeples all around us do Christ's body a great disservice. They separate us from one another And fill us full of fear and shame. A thousand christians in the neighborhood Freed from stubble, freed from hay and wood Have more impact on the kingdom Than all the steeples ever could. The Christian life is really simple When you realize YOU"RE GOD's TEMPLE!! You're now free to tell the story... "It's Christ in US, the hope of glory" A cup of water to an orphan. Turn widow's frown into a smile. This is religion pure and undefiled THis is life in Christ- out in the wild.

Historically and etymologically, this is not correct. If you read the New Testament you will find that in the Gospels Jesus often went to "the synagogue" to participate on the Sabbath. The word "synagogue" means essentially the same thing as ecclesia--namely, a "gathering." Hence, the synagogue was BOTH the gathering place and the gathered people of God. Therefore, the Ecclesia (i.e. church) referred to both the gathered people of God and the sacred space in which they consistently gathered. It is illiterate to claim that ecclesia only refers to the people of God gathered in worship. If so, than the synagogues where Jesus taught were not synagogues, which is absurd.
Great video. Many Christians are ignorant of scripture. Some because they are just learning, others because they put more priority on a pastor and not the Bible. Wake up brotheren. Wake up.
You are right CLEMDAWG,its sad but true this is how the Sheeple get deceived into false religion,by Charismatic flamboyant mesmerizing people like Joseph Smith(Mormonism) Charles Taze Russell (Jehovah Witness) Catholicism(Pope) Christian Science(Mary Baker Eddy) and the little schisms or daughters of the Whore of Babylon..I woke up to these things a long time ago,and I now am a part of the Church without walls,praise YHWH or Halleluyah..thank you Jesus Messiah keep the faith brother...maranatha
Cool so you actually know your bible huh? Tell me then; what did Satan do so bad? Was it not God himself who was responsible for animal/human sacrifice? For rape? For child abuse? Biblically, who is the evil one.. Satan? Or was is God?
] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
unspotted from the world can mean unspotted from the aggressive mean nature competitive spirit to 'progress' to be successful to step on everyone to push heads down into the soil to slay anyone wounded in the battle which is what some groups are doing slaying the sheep who are hurt or wanting more of Jesus to cling to Him in a crazy world or magnifying themselves higher to appear mighty and powerful to crush the ordinary ones .These things are in the evil family of ungodliness and darkness of glorifying the already power hungry . Each of the words align with scripture as to the MEEK that are persecuted by the Pharisees we have today.
Amen.....I grew up as a Fatherless boy since I was 7. And My Mother has been a Widow for the last 42 years and she still loves Jesus. We never had much of special care and concerns from the Pastors we knew. It is solely the grace of God my Mother and I was able to live. And of course we were not rich and I still am not either. But I love God who is truly my Parents and Father. If the pastors truly read and understood one of those red letter words that Jesus Himself spoke, there would be a rude of awakening in the christian circle.
The problems you address in this video are some of the main reasons the home-church movement is growing greatly. People want to participate in church meetings, and interact with their fellow believers, not just be spectators watching a show.
I absolutely love this video. So many of my concerns and doubts with the church are articulated here! Thank you Servus Christi, keep it up, and all glory to God.
I enjoyed the video also. I don't understand why there aren't more videos like this on the internet. There does seem to be something of an awakening out there of the importance of genuine fellowship as opposed to a weekly one hour speech. I suppose there are Christians who feel they can get by on that, but we're not only robbing ourselves by neglecting the Biblical model for the Church, we're robbing our brothers and sisters as well as those souls who show up in the "business model" Church seeking the very thing God purposed the Church to be, and end up wandering away disappointed because that model doesn't produce any real fruit. It doesn't provide what God intended the Church to provide. You can find better sermons online than you can in one of these Churches (if you know what to look for and you use critical thinking). But it's hard to find a genuine Bible based Church. Some of them have real good theology and all that, and that's a good thing, but it will never replace a Church that's based on the Biblical model.
God bless you. I felt like I was the only one that thought this way. I started to feel that something was wrong with me. I pray that the Lord will help me to understand more and more as I study scripture. I hunger for this.
I think that certain frustrations have caused a disdain for the entire system. There are many parts ofthe church tidsy derived from the bible. Dont throw out the baby with the bath water

Watching on the 1st of Jan, 2020. The initial pattern is fellowship of believers - 1Cor. 14:26. But the prevailing system is far from what an Ecclessia is.
Natalie its only YOU that judges, you stoopid christian mon ster. Infinite love and light judges nothing and sees the perfection of it all. You only judge yourself by refusing to go deep within. Thats why you cant go deep within, but this man of light can: th-cam.com/video/Xt6oqqk1J2k/w-d-xo.html you cant go deep within because demonz cant go deep within and see the outer world as dark. But angels did all the hard inner work of going deep within and see the outer worlds as infinite beauty light and magic. You hateful disgusting mon ster. You hate your self and nothing else !!!
Thats not judgment. Because there is no such thing as a "you. The ego mind ials the blindest and dumbest entity in the universe.. Rocks are not stoopid enough to believe the garbage that christians believe. Its the truth. Thats why you hate deep questions so much, because you hate yourself. You have no answers to anything
Jesus said "Go forth and make disciples and teach them all I have commanded you..." - nowadays people are so happy to fellowship with each other (Christians in church) and forgets about the lost world out there...Jesus did not say stay in the church/synagogue and wait for the unbelievers to come in...NO He said go OUT into the world...!!! Why have Christians become so blind?
Wow! I'm really sorry this has been your experience. I hope that your faith in Christ had not faltered. May you find peace and somewhere to share your faith.

God bless you for your obedience...I thank God that he validated my thoughts/opinions concerning the church system based on experiences over the passed few decades...when you earnestly seek God...he will answer your prayers.
I will agree with on dispensation that people like to hang on. I say the same thing, technically 95% of the Bible can be attested as not being written to anyone but people that were living over 2000 years or earlier
@Shadow11 They can still be pastors and deacons to pastor the flock but it doesn’t have to be in the manner it is today.
Brother I thank you for speaking so much truth i’ve had the same questions and thoughts about the System that we are in, it wasn’t matching what I saw in scripture I hope we get back to what the church was.
God, not the Megachurch, did this...
I realized this back in 1994. I spent four years studying and searching for the right church... the church Jesus started. After I had exhausted myself and all resources, I realized that what we have been doing for hundreds of years is nothing like the Early Church...the Church Jesus started. We spend thousands or even millions to build beautiful buildings, so we can sit in comfortable seats and enjoy the show prepared for us for that day. Then we have to give funds each week to keep this business going. This takes large sums of money to pay for the high salaries and the operating expenses... nothing like what Jesus taught about.
exactly
We are the church!!!

I stopped going to church a couple of years ago and grew closer to God. To be frank and honest I felt I began giving God the real me and I seen Him in a greater compacity in my life and others. I personally don't tell anyone what they should do, my only advice is to follow the Holy Spirit. I personally love small bible studys with other believers.
M C Having the Holy Spirit, you do not need a building God is not only in a building. Honestly he may be hindered in a building because of man made tradition ext. But He should be in your heart. You can fellowship with believers outside of churches. I rarely felt I could truly even talk to people in church service setting anyways. My experience anyways.
We should not give up meeting together...whether in "church" or in small gatherings
Gods word says to gather with other believers
@M C ya your right you really cant Gods holy word says to join together and spread the good news and hold each other up and worship alone and together

What dont christians demonize ? There isnt a group on earth you dont hate. Because you hate yourselves. Nothing is darker than christianity.

the church is the people, not the building....
jay tarcs you are right
Living epistles,known and read by all around them.
When my church started having multiple fast services with less teaching content and then a coffee shop opened up in foyer, it started feeling less like a place where one comes to learn of God and worship him to a place of clicks. I had enough and was very upset with what the body of Christ was calling church services. I read the word for myself and know the BOC is the church not a building.
I remember noticing the cars speeding out of the parking lot after service also.Most likely to get to Sunday buffet or catch a ball game.
I have always been saying this to people. Exactly! the church is the people.
I went to a new church today and it was the best kind if weird I can describe. No announcements, just straight to the message. He spoke for an hour and a half, the whole message being rooted in the Gospel and what Christ did for us. At the end, well, he was done speaking, and that was that. I've never been to a church so simple, yet I learned more than I ever have, because it's not about the programs or the entertainment, the church is Christians gathering together to hear the Word
Nuff Said!
1 Cor 14:26 What then brothers When you come together EACH ONE has a hymn a lesson a revelation a tongue or an interpretation let all things be done for the building up.
Paul explains more on how a gathering of new covenant saints is to gather in chapter 12 as well…
Pretty clear the gathering isn’t intended for a single gift to be given but that EACH is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the building up of all.
Wrong. Church is not to read the word, church was never to read the word, but fellowship and as described on 1 corinthians by Paul.

I found myself becoming frustrated attending church (Pentecostal Christian church), as more and more money was being asked for, thousands and thousands per month. I never got to speak, I never got to hear anyone's story or revelations or learn from anyone other than the main speaker, just this format you speak of. I think meeting in a park and tithing for the poor, sharing what we learn, having gatherings guided by the Holy Spirit, etc, makes far more sense than meeting in an expensive building and tithing for updated lights, etc. It's what I've been desiring for so long. I am looking for 'my church' :(
Erin Janus - As you alluded to, the "churchianity" of today is, at best, superficial, and at worst producing false converts on a mass scale. The answers to our problems are found in Scripture and nowhere else. The sufficiency of Scripture must be held to prevent inventions of man from creeping in. I hope to address many of the individual pillars that hold up the institutional church in more detail in future videos.
Rena Huchingson - It is great to hear that your mother helped people in need rather than contributing to the furthering of an ostentatious institution. That said, please note that the "ordination" of or the sanctioning of women in leadership and teaching roles within the church is also counter biblical. This is not an attack against your mother but rather an elevation of scripture. I realize that this notion is not palatable to the 21st century tongue, but my job is to present truth as it is and not as I wish it to be. Food for thought. I hope you found this video to be some source of encouragement. Stay strong in the Lord.
Have you now changed your belief, to 'learn' from a woman?
Servus Christi,
Wasn't the ordination and sanctioning of women in leadership and teaching roles within the church
biblical countered for Paul would not 'Permit' it ?
And who was actually ordained and sanctioned to be leaders and teachers in the church anyway?
Is it not God Who anoints & sanctifies? And Who ordains?
As it is Jesus Who Appoints Apostles, Prophets and Teachers in His body.
The bible showing God to have had Women Prophets as well.
But yet do men teach that Jesus would not Appoint a Woman Prophet in His body?
For they Teach there are no longer any Apostles & Prophets for His body.
Only they are needed as Teachers.
Which we see so many 'School Of The Pastors' do teach. Now we know why.
As Prophets being 2nd and Teachers being 3rd. A Prophet Of God just may be a Woman.
So if they teach there are no Prophets today?
Then there's no chance of women being 2nd and them being 3rd in Christ's body.
For they want to teach their own doctrines of men.
Without Apostles & Prophets to bring the doctrines of Christ for them to teach.
So they obey Paul, in following him as he follows Christ.
What will you think of all this Servus Christi ?
I don't understand why and how they asked you for money? What for? What if you didn't give them money?
. . . I cried, on floor, in the middle of my kitchen . . .
These are convictions I’ve had for years. They emerged shortly after I began intensely studying scripture on my own during my second year in law school. I knew these things in my heart after revisiting the plain language of Acts, as well as Jesus’s example in the Gospels. And without too much intention I just stopped going to churches. The deviation was significant and apparent in every service I tried to participate in, that I was convinced I had a different copy of the Bible than everyone else!! I continued personal study and time with Him, though, until the right way to go about it came about. I just wasn’t ambitious about it. I didn’t actively try to find a congregation close to the Church in Acts, and over time I became complacent.
I was in the middle of eating waffles while watching this video - standing up at the counter. After seeing the part when the prophet confronted Jon Macarthar so boldly, I was seized with emotion. Just like the converts in Acts are described before crying out to be saved , I, too, felt “cut to the heart!” I paused the video with what strength I had left, slowly stepped back from the counter, and melted to my knees in remorse. I was grieved to my core for my complacency and cowardice in the face of an all-might God! How could I have been so nonchalantly offensive to Father who’s been nothing but gracious, compassionate, and merciful to me! I felt like tearing my shirt. I just lie there on my face - crying and repenting.
I asked the Lord to forgive us all, praying further for the boldness like that given Peter after Pentecost.
I don’t ever right comments on videos, ever. I had to on this one, however, so please forgive the length. We CANNOT overlook this one fact - a fact my experience with this video has reminded me of: there is REAL power in His plain truth given to us in scripture. A real transformative, authentic, and mighty kind power. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Thank you for freeing me from my complacency and getting me back on track through earnest, heart-wrenching repentance! Praying for us all! #MuchLove

K/FORCE-----A building is not a church as taught by your ministers in YOUR CHURCH BUILDING ! !
Killswitch Force AMEN
Ask God to find a good church an assembly of people in christ
Yeah but the people in the building is corrupt and doing the bullshit not the building
Killswitch Force You r right.psalms111:1
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18v20
Where two or three false believers in sheep's clothing are gathered, Satan is in the midst of them.
Great verse...
God was with Saul as he walked alone to Damascus. That verse is usually misinterpretted to say God is only there when we meet with other believers. Like He hasn't the time for singles.
Deploracle, yes and I hate that. They misinterpret many things to no end.
Taking verses out of context is also a sin.
You don't have to go to the school of theological teachings in order to learn n teach what the Bible says. God will give you all you need to learn n know. Gather together to worship, praise, and fellowship.
WE ARE THE CHURCH! BE THE CHURCH!!
the word says you don't need anyone to you, because the Holy Spirit will lead into all truth
Stanley Chappell amen
You are proud. If God has provided Bible college and BS group you rather stay away and live out on your ideology. Ignorant is not bliss.
Amen!
Nay do we not trust Jesus and our Holy Father who art in Heaven first or man
I honestly believe this is the best teaching message on TH-cam to date. I really believe this is where the body of Christ is headed. Those that hear His call, will come out.
Absolutely correct 💯🙏🏼
It's also about fellowship, assembly with others, worship, etc.

How religious
Each Sunday, the church attempts to put on “The Greatest Show On Earth”
It can now since it no longer has Ringling Brothers standing in its way.
Good Lord! What Denomination are you? I need to check it out. Unless of course you're Pentecostal or something like that. Those people belong to someone other than God. Not going around there!
melissa deaton wonderful insight. Since the true biblical Sabbath day is Saturday not sun day. The day of worship will become the test for the mark of the beast. Are you Sda? Have you seen Saved to Serve? I highly recommend it
Not my church whatsoever. It's intent is to FEED God's people the Word and to re-enforce the Gospel message to those who have not yet accepted Christ. We also have home fellowships and different studies throughout the week.
It's nothing but entertainment now.
My husband always calls it a performance and you get.a.program when you enter and then pick your seat and wait for the show to begin
He definitely spoke the truth, sad to say🤦🏾♀️
"Get in. Set down. Shut up. Hold on"
Amen it sure is with many a Showtime.
Git in, set down, shut up and hold on. ( that is what the boat key chain floatie has on it )
Yes, Charles Haddon Spurgeon said "A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the Church will have clowns entertaining the goats."
And remember the goats were the liberals in the Bible. Study history, it has always been liberalism that brought down every empire, reign and civilization with the ideology that there is nothing absolutely wrong or right. Just "do your own thang" et cetera.
I've been a Christian most of my 65 years here on earth. Convinced I was called even from my mother's womb... He knew me then, before I took my first breath. Yet, He did not show up in me until my early teen years. Still, I resisted that call, but bowed the knee to fully giving my life back to Him when I was in my twenties.
I was a worship leader for much of my early years. Then traveled and taught in the church system for many more years. But little by little and because God gave me a Berean heart to search the scriptures I did so. And it challenged me deeply on so many levels that I finally left the church system years and years ago. With great difficulty, it has been hard to find similar hearts to come together more perfectly as Paul and the early church prescribed. And alas, even with those I have gathered with in the past twenty years, distance has made it difficult to meet with them.
I loved everything you said in this video. My heart was beating simultaneos to your in perfect rhythm. I want for this so much. But because of some little fame God has permitted me to have, it is almost impossible for me to experience this grace the way it has been prescribed in your video and the Bible. I am both an Christian and somewhat known as a Christian teacher. I retired from my own company five years ago, and now live all but alone in a valley far from city life. But a few of the saints have found me and want me to come to Africa to share my gifts with them. Oh, how I wish they understood that this wasn't God's way! That is was far simpler, to meet and share our livelihood, our gifts to one another and encourage one another in the Lord. Everything has changed me. The season of seeming fame, turned into a great desert of troubles that left me wounded, but still very much alive in Christ. But I can't do things the way I used to. It isn't about me anymore, it is all about My Savior!
I so loved your heart brother! It was great refreshment to me. For now, all I can do is pray! But I do thank God that I am meeting even if it is through email, telephone, or skyping, with saints who are on this page and enjoying Christianity minus all the attractions that man is throwing into the ring.
You blessed me thoroughly! May these messages get out to the saints who are longing to be the SPIRITUAL TEMPLE we are called to be. Thanks again for posting this!
Stephen.
Steven Scheffler Yes the best sermons ever were taught in the 'desert.' Well we know God uses people in various situations and denominations and people Christian's inside and out of organised services still all struggle with their own nature and the fear of man which brings a snare.

This is where I am today also. I grew up the son of a preacher. I started on this journey out of the reilgious system 25 years ago, when I hit rock bottom while "leading" a "church." The "church" had no answers, no one walked with me, and I was on my own. That is when I ran into, what I call, the brick wall of Jesus Christ. I learned then He is the only answer and began the journey of what you laid out in this video. Thank you for laying it out so well.
I actually really got a glimpse of my journey when i was 12 years old. I remember going down to my dads study and asking him if I could talk. He said sure. I told him, " Dad you preach REALLY good lessons on what not to do. But how do I NOT do them." He didn't have an answer for me. Looking back, the only thing he knew was how to reinforce his denominational beliefs each Sunday. He had no real answers. I think that is the point with the bigger religious system as a whole and why "Christianity" lost the culture war in this country. The religious system didn't have any real answers. Oh, they would tell you come to church and it will all be better. Oh they might help you suffer through the crisis you were in at the time, but they never answered the core questions or problems.
Ten years ago God spoke so clear to me " come out from among her" i thought he was meaning the world..then he began to open my eyes in the " church" to the " program" that man conceived for those who want to sleep. I was awake. Now husband and i are part of a home group be it a few people but the line of separation is so clear , those who want to sleep come there and leave , those whose heart is after Christ , the spirit feeds , they grow connected to Him, not to a program
Debi Barrington hi there. I've been seeking the kind of fellowship you speak of. Are you all in the US?
You’re correct, the whore of babylon is the false church...
Debi Barrington the Lord told me come.out from among them a couple months ago......
I have a disdain for the church system. Such a deep hatred for it.
DEBI, DEBI-----The words "come out of her" were spoken to bring an evil spirit out of a woman. How shameful for millions of you to change that to mean come out of the RCC !
I grew up in a Baptist Church, that denied an unsaved neighbor coming in the doors with us because she was wearing jeans!! She was lost and had that impression of the Lord. I got away from the Baptist nightmare, thankfully, and now just have a personal relationship with Jesus and don't attend church anymore. All anyone needs is to open your Bible to find the truth, not sit and listen to someone else's doctrine. I let Jesus teach me, not man!
Dizziemiss Lizzie my pastor keeps it real. He doesn’t care what you were 15 seconds before walking in because Christ makes all things new and it for everyone. Thank the Lord he lead me to a born again church, but still gotta stay in the word because we all have false teachings. God bless you.
The Scriptures do say that men should not dress in women's clothing and vice versa. Look around U and look at the drag queens and kings! God is not a God of confusion! He is Holy and will not be mocked!
Dizziemiss Lizzie ......Amen
Dizziemiss Lizzie, the Holy Spirit led me out of the Baptist Church too sister, and once I left I began truly building a close personal relationship with my Savior & Heavenly Father by letting Yeshua teach me also. I follow Him only, not man. Blessings to you.🤗
We should find a church that preaches the word of God and not doctrines. Ask God to lead you. Someone needs your fellowship and you may be the only person to reach them. God has no aloner in his kingdom God wants his people to love the undesirables and people who need God's love. My prayers are with you. Also remember no matter where you go there is no perfect church. I love Classical music and only hear it around CHRISTMAS time. Bach wrote many choruses for the church I listen to them here on youtube. I still love my pastor because he preaches the word of God. He don't water down the word. Sin is still sin and do means do. Maybe I better read my bible today. God be with you.
Thank you brother, I thought I was alone. This was so refreshing. God bless you and the work you are doing.
Me too! 🙏
Me too I'm out.
Charmain Williams-Farrar false religions dominate the world. Satan is the God of this world and the father of all lies. False religions spew lies, collect tithings and are extremely rich. False religions however have their days counted. The Bible reassured that. True Christians are but a minority in this world.
That's it. I'll never go to a ballet anymore
The Great Catholic Monarch is coming to sweep aside the Masonic Republics and restore The Holy Church a Ross the world. Peter and Paul will raise up a holy Pope.
I’m so glad my church got it right. No pastor is above anyone and we have about 4 that rotate in our congregation of 100. We talk about these “systems” and do away with them. Members come up and share their testimonies regularly and people speak when God puts something on their heart. It’s just easy 💜 and spirit filled with biblical truths. And yes you can interrupt when the Lord gives you a word
Where can we find a church like yours. Where do you live?
Do they collect a tithe?

I too left my Church 6 months ago for the very same reasons. I felt as if God lifted the veil from my eye's to see the true things that were

Savior. To much selling and money tranfering going on , and not enough word of Gods Truth.
Don't leave church because you might be in the one God will use to transform your church. I pray every night for all nations of Tue earth because the church has become something else. I want you to know the church is a body of believers not a building. When l walk on the street, l sense who is a christian and who is not whenever l am very prayerful. Globally, God is doing a new thing. The holy spirit is at work. Dont be discouraged. Pray more.
The West in general is slipping financially and in terms of workers rights, standards of living and other similar things, ironically because our societies are worshipping money, and many of the big organised denominations are dealing in big money. We now all chase filthy lucre, and it is time we started to simply seek Jesus first again.
My daughter and son in law, went to a church that had a new location, in a new building, and the second time they were there, one of the deacons came up to her husband, and said to him, your offerings are not what they are supposed to be, I have no idea how he thought he was justified in this, or how he got his figurers, but, this was the last time they darkened that door.
Crystal Morey I felt the same way as you , I tryed to watch TV Christian programs but Was Left feeling empty as well , they to are run by 501c2 Baal making money, It is the System that is evil , it's not Lord Jesus Christ children , God is waking up people , Who want to hear the truth,
Crystal Morey the large churches tickles the ear and pass the collection plate!
I was talking to lady one day and the topic of mega churches came up. I expressed that I don't like mega churches for many reasons. But, my two main reasons were because I don't feel the pastors have a closeness with their members as they should, and, it seems at that point, it is more of a performance/show instead of actually saving souls. Needless to say, she got upset, pretty much defending them and saying that they show the "number of people being saved." And if I disagreed with her, I was a lost soul...I disagree but I don't consider myself a lost soul. I just don't see the point in a huge church with cameras, and on TV. It feels very rehearsed and misleading. My opinion.
The tele-evangelists are all ordained and have had holy orders done on them and are servants of the Vatican which is The Red Dragon / Lucifer's Temple.
Clergy who have been ordained and have had holy orders done to them are part of Lucifer's Kingdom.
Janice Thorton a mega church is just a congregation that has two thousand or more members. Some churches were so busy doing God’s work that the membership started to grow. You can’t stop that. There is nothing wrong with that. With more people you need more space for those people. The church in acts had 3,000 in it
Janice Thorton, I spent quite a while shopping around for a church until I finally gave up. I've since found a nice little home church, but I still go back to the mega churches occasionally. I don't go for the fellowship for the same reasons you outlined, but when I do strike up a conversation with someone and the topic comes up, I always point out that I'm not a member. I'm just there for the show. Some of these performances are better than the shows in Las Vegas. There's nothing in scripture that says we can't enjoy a good show once in a while, right? As the narrator of the video pointed out, he wasn't addressing the theology so there's nothing wrong with listening to a Christ centered presentation either.
U thtow alot of crap around , but what u r doing is causing dischord. Do u have better ideas for gatherings of Christians
Church is a performance. Home church is the direction we need to go.
The Bible says in the last days, that God's spirit will move across the land, I have seen a growing change where many true born again believers, are being called out of church. The church system is corrupt, and has been turned over to the occult.
Those wo are only have true souls can understand what going on..
Most people are limited because they had no real soul...
@@anonymousguitarist9096 You are right! False teaching everywhere and most people dont even know there is anything "missing" or "wrong". They just dont get it.
Nancy King it’s already happening to the one true church it started in the 70’s with the homosexual priests
Nancy King :
The church became corrupt the moment it became linked with secular political powers. Only after then did Christians feel justified in killing one another over political and theological differences. There isn’t likely to be revival in this country because egregious, hubristic, and contentious Christians don’t really want it. They want to be able to crush, despise, and hate their enemies, not only their enemies but those with whom they disagree.
@John Eldred We are being called out of false doctrines and such, and yes, the Bible says we are not to forsake the coming together of believers. The Church is the body of Christ, so it makes no sense for them to say we are being called out of the church.
This is exactly how I felt. For years I been wanting to start a home church / Bible study the way it was meant ..

Please google: "The Journey Home". You will hear people like yourself being interviewed, that searched for truth and found it. Give it five minutes of your time. Good luck.
Its been long I met with the saints to fellowship, but am truthfully and anxiously longing to resume fellowship sooner than latter. because the body of Jesus Christ i.e the church is the believer's power house. forsaking the meetings is not good for our spiritual growth. spreading the love of Christ is one thing and fellowshipping with like minded saints is another. its my prayer that God lead us into the right congregation devoid of any leaven of religiosity and organizational marketing strategies. God be with you
Thank you for this beautifully done video. This is exactly how I feel. I am searching the scriptures as you speak. God speed and shalom.

This guy is right on , it is very hard to find a place in any church because of all the formats and politics . I play music once in a while at church,s and I see many people today making a great deal of money doing a music ministry , I will never charge a dime for any music I do in church . I have come to the place where I think the church is being controlled by the devil through the love of money. If you are being payed by a church for doing music or teaching and you feel good about it your are being fooled by the devil, it all should be a donation .
The church is where there are 2-3 or more people gathered speaking gods word . The church are the people
NO, the church is the one that our Saviour established 2000 years ago and PROMISSED to be with FOREVER ! ! [ try BELIEVING the bible and not changing it as you accuse others of ! ]

When I was a young girl we had a wonderful church. Anyone who had a word spoke it, anyone who had a song we sang it, we were a very small group who met in homes and eventually an old, run down building. And we were blessed. Nothing forced or faked. I felt God's presence with that group that I haven't felt since in any congregation I have visited. I graduated high school and left for a couple of years. When I returned it had become programmed and felt wrong. The elders (my grandmother and 2 others) had died or were too sick and younger(my father and the elders' children) more structured types had taken over. I haven't been to church service regularly since but I desire that old, first way. I fear it was so rare that I'll never find it again. Thanks for this video. It helps me feel better about "abandoning" the ritual and being disloyal to the remaining members.
That church died the moment it moved into a building solely for the sake of church services and they're was a need for money. As soon as the congregation got too big for a house they need to split up to a second home. But that ego of building up the numbers always works its way in.
so I'm not the only one who sees this. SMALLhouse groups, unpaid leaders without a vested interest. REAL bible study open discussion sharing of your Faith in every day life oh how I want this in my life. west midlands U.K. HELP

In my group , I suggest that each of us work out our own salvation with with fear and trembling KJV Phillipians 2:12
TEACHER are judged more harshly James 3:1
We must Rightly divide the word of truth 2Timothiy 2:15
As it is written in John 16:13 •••• The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth and this is how I walk my walk. Not perfection of course but we must use wisdom and never follow a man only the God Man Jesus Himself
All Christians should pray for discernment and test the spirits if the teachings don’t line up with the word ,you are free to challenge them with your Pastor. As we can judge the church but not unbelievers but the church won’t always listen so there is a lot of pride also in the church.

I was wondering why God pulled me out of church and now am getting closer with him thanks for this now I no what's going on amazing how God works thank you .
I always felt weird in a church so it was hard for me to go, So I haven't been part of the church most of my Christian life and I think, for me anyway is because you search the word of God with such a God given hunger, then naturally you delight in His Word because that is GOD, Amen. You are not swayed by corrupt thoughts of others, because you get it all from His word alone, that's all you have, when you are not in church, unless you spend your time listening to teaching through the media then it;s the same thing. However you miss out big time because of the loss of fellowship. We need to gather and not forsake the gathering of us together. So beware I backslid or wandered for a decade, thinking I could live without His word, He woke me up and brought me back full bore into his Word, memorizing as much as I can and speaking the word back to me. Restoring all that was gone because I didn't live in His word. Now I live there and I will seek and find fellowship I pray you do as well and are greatly blessed, Amen!
I like the small group idea, maybe the Lord will do that for me, thank you Lord that would be great as I abide in your Word
I agree with you. I have desired a home type small group setting for years. I never felt like I fit in at any Church building I attended. It wasn't because I didn't like the people.....they would invite me to come over or go out to eat......but I'm not into playing silly games and callin it fellowship. I'm not into the "christian" movies. I'm not into the latest trends or fads. I don't hear alot of Biblical truth in the praise and worship music. It's been uplifting and refreshing the last few days of seeing I'm not the only one who doesn't fit into the mold of the modern church. I do NOT think it's a coincidence that many are feeling this way.
me too.
I found myself closer to the Lord and more apt to share the Good News.
I was having trouble connecting at churches.
I left feeling worse and empty.
I don't like seeing all these coffee houses pop ping up. its taking over true fellowship and prayer.
hey buddy I've felt this way for a long time since 1997 been in & out of church I've always felt something wasn't right but wanted to ask how did you find a home ministry
Yes, the “performance model” with stage and audience has always felt off to me. For introverts like me, home church is comforting because too many people are overwhelming but more importantly home church is biblical. When I visited my brother and his family most mornings we would all pray, read the Bible and share what was laid on our hearts from that passage and worship the Lord in spirit and truth. So much more edifying than feeling anonymous in a sea of people listening to a message and remaining quiet then, leaving with a sense of loneliness. “Church” can be a lonely and that’s wrong. Thank you for this video❤
Sadly. The Church seems a need to entertain in order for peoples' return.
The Church is the Christians. Not the building.
Totally agree ...
We who have this longing of a True believers congregation/assembly /fellowship, are scattered across the globe !
The Holy Spirit has brought us together via TH-cam channel like yours, brother in Christ, to encourage us to stand firm in our faith in Christ Jesus Who is our Blessed Hope !
Thank you for collecting articles and valuable information, and compiling them to share on TH-cam ...you are a channel of God's blessings unto His Beloved children 😄
The Bottom line: Unless your BORN AGAIN OF SPIRIT, you have NO WAY into the Kingdom of Heaven! In these days, good luck finding a Bible Teaching, Spirit Filled Congregation. As a Patrol man years ago I did the LORD's Work, & paid the price for it. My Church was in the Street, & it still is, that is where ever the Spirit leads me.
Allow me to Recite a Poem by Mr. Ray Stevens from the 80's:
'Would Jesus wear a Rolex on his Television Show?'
Woke up this morning, turned on my TV set.
There in living color was something I can't forget.
This man was preaching at me, yeah laying on the charm,
Askin' me for 20. with 10,000. on his arm.
He wore designer clothing and a big smile on his face,
Selling me salvation while they sang 'Amazing Grace'
Asking me for money when he had all the signs of wealth.
I almost wrote a check out, but then I asked myself.
Would he wear a pinkie ring? Would he drive a fancy car?
Would his wife wear furs and diamonds? Would his dressing room have a star?
If he came back tomorrow, there's something I'd like to know.
Can you tell me, would Jesus wear a Rolex on his Television show?
Would Jesus be Political if he came back to Earth?
Have his home in Palm Springs and try to hide his worth?
Take money from those poor folks when he comes back again?
And admit He's talked to all those preachers who say they've be talking to him?
God Bless Everyone, & walk by Faith not by Sight.

Tommy well said,you are a true christian. keep up the faith.
Exactly that`s what I always ask myself. I have woken up no more blind but weep for the blind. Or would Jesus` Children and wife wear clEvage , high heels , fake nails, hair , tight fitting clothes and Women wearing tight fitting pants? NO I DON`T THINK SO. PEACE
You have no clue, grow some hair on your nuts!
Tommy primo until a individual recognize, Yawashu, a person will be lost.
THANK YOU! The church system is not what Yeshua had in mind. That's why I do bible study, where everyone gets to contribute and bring up a topic, instead of one or two people lecturing hundreds on what they believe.
Why do build big temples or churches? We can praise God with small place. Why can't use that money to donate to poor people, victims of such chaos etc.?
S/OCHAVO
I am saying this knowing 99% of you will not believe it but here goes anyway. The Catholic church is the LARGEST charitable organization in the WORLD. It feeds, clothes, houses and
nurses more poor than any other organization [ Wikipedia ] and despite the horrible lies told about it every day, it never mentions these facts. It is following HIS command to
Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, comfort the afflicted. It has soup kitchens and homeless shelters all over the world. Bad church, EH ?
Our church community does just that we are engaged in feeding disadvantaged people, helping others in far away places, providing for the lonely, outreach to the young people, having fun in the right kind of way. Helping local people who have lost their jobs, providing bereavement counselling etc etc. Yes we meet in a church building and we have a Minister who is great and willing to be questioned on what he preaches. We aren't perfect but we love God and each other and help each other when needed.
C/LESLEY,
Sounds like you are following HIS command to Do Works ! God Bless You.

I don't have to watch your video. All I have to do is read the endless, hate-filled, evil, anti Christian curses that are hurled at my beloved church 1000 times a day. [ if they
persecuted ME, they will persecute you. ! You will be hated BY ALL because of MY name ! ] Good luck with the hatred !
You are helping me wake up. I cried a little at this because I am fell for the system even though I felt something off about it. I must be true to God.
God loves u and he will show u the right path sometimes the lord works in mysterious ways..
I've been shown the back door so to speak with two SBC church's. I actually spoke up in my youth during a service, and the pastor quickly made a mockery of me in front of the congregations. This video is a welcome breath of truth. Thank you.
“So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.”
Acts 14:23
Absolutely. I agree with that. There are no apostles on the earth now and I am always troubled when I see churches with people who call themselves apostle this and that. People like to be praised and carry titles that make them feel important: What could ever make us feel more important than knowing we are a child of the living God & we have been saved by Jesus Christ by faith in Him by His grace. I’m sure God is very grieved by the state of most churches in our world.
Terese McMillan I’m sure there are many churches that are not functioning in the five fold ministries, but you can’t blanket statement “there are no apostles on earth..”
The purpose of elders etc. being appointed at that time was because this was THE FIRST Church being established. It has long been established and there now is no need to use elders. The only thing still existing in THE TRUE ECCLESIA are those who the Holy Spirit have given one of the 5 spiritual offices or FUNCTIONS (not titles to be worn), which are prophet(esses), pastor, evangelist, teacher and apostle. That can be found in Ephesians 4:11. These spiritual functions are for the purpose of like it says in verse 12, to edify the body, for the perfecting of the saints (NOT CHRISTIANS) and for the work of the ministry. And keep in mind that the term "Elder" in the Bible is not a Holy Spirit appointed function or spiritual office, it simply means older people. They expected the older generation to be able to oversee the others, so this was a man appointed function, not a Holy Spirit designated function.
I have fallen away from "Churchianity" for some time now. It has bothered me because church members (people I knew while attending church) tell me "we are not suppose to do it alone" that is why there are church buildings to attend. How does a building to gather in represent fellowship? Just to be greeted upon entering and told to have a good day when leaving is not my understanding of fellowshipping. And yes a message is preached for 45 min. but it is never about sins, hell, or anything that might alienate a member because they may take offense because they are living in sin. No wouldn't want to preach the truth because if someone is offended then they may loose their tithing from them, which tithing that church's do is not scriptural in the KJV. Yes it is lonely going it alone but at least I am not offending God by attending some church that man has set up under deception and finding out too late that the god you are worshipping is actually the adversary himself.
Deb M About tithing: Jesus Christ was asked by the Pharisees whether they should pay tithes to God or taxes to Caesar (when they asked this, they were seeking to accuse Him). Jesus had them show him a coin and asked whose name is on the coin. The Pharisees said, "Caesar's." Then Jesus said, "Render unto Caesar which is Caesar's, and unto God which is God's." Is tithing biblical? Yes. Are there those in power who misuse the Treasury for their own personal gain? Yes; Judas Iscariot also did this. And people have mistakenly thought that tithing is not biblical. But in reality, it is biblical. There is a big problem with unbelief in the church today. They don't believe in anything. It would be more honest for those individuals to call themselves atheists instead of calling themselves Christians. And you also have many Word of Faith prosperity preachers who are doing a sales pitch that sounds like a get rich quick scheme, but they attach God's name and disguise it as a "faith" message. There is a big problem in the Church today. All ministers, regardless of who they are, are easy targets for accusations to be against them. I am all for exposing false teachers and false prophets. But those who are true ministers of God: Leave them alone and let them do their job as shepherd. But you have to have discernment. Those who are false teachers and false prophets, know who they are and don't listen to them. And warn others, so they are not deceived.
Scripture says that we are to depend on the Heavenly Father to guide us in our studies, not man (Isaiah 28:9). The church system was set up to deceive and keep followers in sin by believing a false gospel. The Laws were never done away with and we should be using the Most Highs name, Yah (Psalms 68:4 KJV). Read Deut 28 KJV to learn who the real Israelites are. Read Gen 10:1-3, Rev 2:9, Rev 3:9 KJV to learn who they fake jews are. Beware of modern day Pharisees who teach hate and false doctrine. True Israel is quietly waking up to be the light of this dark world. Psalms 111:10 KJV Shalom.
Gather with like-minded and always add more for life of the spirit God will honor you
Deb M happy to know that I am not alone on this..But we have to pray for our Countries.... That they might repent and realize the grace of God
faitje love Not to mention that repent involves turning away from your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ to save you from your sins. I know that we're not perfect. At the same time, it's not enough to say a prayer. If someone is genuinely saved, there is evidence that shows. Our salvation is not works-based. At the same time, if we truly love God, we will obey His commandments.
Wow! Just Wow! I am so grateful for you brother! I have been thinking and saying this for years! I have felt this in my spirit and heart for about 7 years now. But my husband and I had deemed, until now, that we were completely alone in this, I know that sounds silly but I’m being completely honest. Every time I went to church, and we have been to several in various states, I felt like I was going to a concert and classroom teaching for 1-2 hours and then going home. And I started to think, what is the point of going at all? To sit and listen to some guy talk week after week about the same scriptures every other Pastor talks about with no new revelations to a “classroom” full of “students” that never graduate? Why is there no progress? Why are we, as the body and church, always broken in spirit and pocketbook and we never reach a place of breakthrough, maturity, and discipleship? And why are pastors rich and well fed while many in the “church” are starving? And even worse, now as a church we are welcoming all sinners and condoning people and brethren to stay sinners, for the sake of “love” and “acceptance”. What kind of “love” is this that encourages a degenerative spiritual state and twists the gospel to keep members happy and paying? This is not the righteousness of Christ! This is sick and disturbing! We became fed up with this BUT in a way, out of guilt of not being a part of a congregation, we still attended “church (the building)” along with all the other anti-social robot Christians (I say this in love). It wasn’t until about a month ago that we finally had enough, and Christ put it on our hearts to stop this nonsense and look for or even start a house church. And although met with much opposition, we will stand firm in this. You gave me confirmation that I wasn’t just losing it, or being too critical, or maybe even judgmental, as many have told us. I have been torn about this for years and I just knew that Jesus was revealing this to us even if NO ONE else agreed! I appreciate you soooooo much! I don’t even know how to express it. Where are these people that think like you and have had this revelation? I felt they were non-existent! Where can we meet more people like this? We are in Texas lol. You have given us new hope. The Holy Sprit is speaking through you my brother! I speak blessings over your life! Thank you for sharing your revelations and wisdom with BOLDNESS! You have our infinite gratitude! We have subscribed to your channel. Peace and Grace to you Brother!
If you crave for our Lord God Jesus Christ real PRESENCE, and have the fullness of the means of salvation, go to a Catholic Parish Church in your area and take "Faith Formation" to have a better understanding of The Catholic Christian Faith and not get caught up with distorted views on BAPTISM, SALVATION, and WORSHIP. And for now here's the reason why you should become a Catholic Christian: .
.
.
THERE IS NO OTHER CHURCH
.
but The Catholic Christian Church: The Mother Church because Jesus Christ, Himself, founded The Catholic Christian Church in Jerusalem, Israel.
.
The Catholic Christian Church put The Bible together - to use The Bible to correct The Catholic Christian Church is ABSURD!
.
The Catholic Christian Church has the PREPONDERANCE of MIRACLES like the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, Italy; the Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe imprinted on the tilma of Saint Juan Diego; the apparitions of our Virgin Mary in Lourdes, France and Fatima, Portugal; the Shroud of Turin in Italy; and the incorruptible bodies of famous Saints like Saint Bernadette, Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Catherine Laboure, Saint Louise de Marillac, and lately, Saint Father Pio and Saint Pope John XXIII, and has the famous Saints’ writings from their great minds - an indication that our Triune God is communicating only to this Catholic Christian Church.
.
There is no other faiths in the world that can bolster these kind of credentials - only The Catholic Christian Faith!
.
How much more the promise of THE RESURRECTION as promised by PROPERLY receiving The Holy Eucharist: th-cam.com/video/nefa2yK9w9I/w-d-xo.html
.
.
ROMAN CATHECHISM PASTORAL PRINCIPLE:
.
"The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope, or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.”
.
Take care and keep in touch, always!
It's the same in the UK, but less so. We don't really have the American system which seems to have grandstanding pastors and mega churches and big money accruing to a few individuals, but we have an organised church that is far more about money, social status and the 'better sort' of people. controversialchristianityandfaith.blogspot.com/2018/08/christianity-is-not-middle-class.html
Me and my wife had been praying and seeking God in this matter for some years... the Lord in His mercy directed our steps to the Lord's Recovery. You might heard or not about it before. It started up in China at the beginning of the last century through brother Watchman Nee and continued by Witness Lee. I recommend you read some of the literature or listen to their radio www.lsmradio.com/... it could be the answer to your prayer. Just sayin... God bless you!
Keep with it sister. I believe that is what God wants.
Oh dear. I came out of the Catholic system and found salvation in Christ. I went to enough Latin speaking ritual services to last a lifetime. Sorry. That's my experience.
Thanks! I no longer feel alone in this minority view.
Jesusfreak u r not alone.. I no longer go to church.. I read my bible and pray at home
I feel for you two. Stay where the pasture is safe and always green.
“I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.” -Paul the Apostle
I don’t think the gifts of the Spirit have ceased, but you shouldn’t worry one bit if you don’t have the gift of tongues or prophecy. Those aren’t the only two.
LoL.. if you or anyone else that you know of have the biblical gift of tongues hop on a plane and go speak Hebrew to the Jews.. tongues are a language not some gibberish SHALAHALLLSHAAAHA BAADADSAALAAA nonsense... That's of Satan
This is absolutely profound and I can identify with this video on all points. My eyes have been opened to so many things others are blind to. I thought I was imagining or overthinking. One day in prayer the Lord spoke to my heart on the very things you are speaking about. Our job is to get out into the world, the street corners and reach out to people. The laborers are all indoors in cool air conditioned buildings while the harvest suffers. Thank you for this video.
How are you doing today my name is Eric moore
I saved this video a while back and just finished watching just now and was thrown. We left the formal church a couple years ago and the Lord led us to begin gathering in our home where we fellowship through food and discussion based on the Word Of God. Everyone participates in the discussion. It has been good. We end with prayer for each other. Thank you for making this confirming video. God is calling His people back to him, and prayerfully we all hear the call.
I don't feel the Holy Spirit when I go to church.
Charles Stanley says if you’re in a church that doesn’t encourage you to seek the Holy Spirit then you’re in the wrong church.
I've felt demons before. Trust your spirit. All you need is a quiet room and a bible to draw near to god.
That's because it's a reference to the concept that can be visualised from the word itself and not magic.
To see this objectively simply draw the word shape 'GOD' into a whole image. A compass and square acts as the control in this repeatable and observable demonstration of the word.
@Bladetruther 978 Well said. Catholic church buildings are temples to Lucifer or Baal. I grew up in the RCC. I escaped their bondage at 32 years of age. I am one of the relative few that has broken the bonds of this Luciferian death cult.
The Holy Spirit isn't a feeling tho. If you're going to a church and you're trying to feel the Holy Spirit that's backwards because your feelings are deceptive.
I am looking for a church to fellowship with. I have lost all my “church” friends when I quite going to church. I met with a couple of them and explained my concerns about the “church”, and they quit speaking to me. They felt I was drifting away and following a false god. Even when I presented biblically sound scripture confirming my concerns, and how our “church” was not biblically sound. I feel very alone at times, as I cannot find anyone who, not just, reads the Bible, but lives the Bible. Even friends I have had for years are slowly diminishing from my life.
Keep on putting God's Word First in your Life😇🙌🙏👍💯 He will always give you His Best in due time 🙏🙏🙏 Be Blessed🙏🙏🙏
u're in good company. I'm Looking For Believers who C What I C In my Studying Of The Bible, and everywhere u go, they believe what their minister believes over All Scripture, and I'm tired of it
Rachael For Jesus said if they hate you, they hated me first. I know how you feel...Just pray and wait on God and he will send the right believers in your life
I hope God leads you to a godly and scripturally sound church, but remember the video graphic and the notable quotable caption, "It is better to walk alone then to follow the crowd in the wrong direction." That's where I am now. Parsons Carlson.
All of my friends stayed in church, and fell away and now are involved in the occult.
This is something I have often questioned for a long time, and have had a longing for truly living and fellowshipping like the early Church did. Blessed video, and God bless you!💕🕊️
You just use your faith for your ego to divide and hate Nothing is dark - ker than christianity. You worship government as christianity was government implemented. Thats why you have less spiritual consciousness than a potato
People sat under Paul and a pastor is overseer and that is biblical
True the church has become a show, but to throw out the church completely is also not biblically accurate. You still can gather in whatever building fits your gathering. With a pastor and a worship team. We should never idolize, but we can revere and follow christ like men. Paul said imitate as I imitate christ. Find a good small church and serve christ.
Daniel Noland Yeah but where's the true fellowship the people gathered around but was more true fellowship
Daniel Noland Like a bible study group
More fault-finding and lack of grace for other Christians in this video, as usual. SC, take a Dale Carnegie course or something - learn to engage ideas and people more effectively than your slamathons. Hint: You can pick up some good pointers from Leighton Flowers :)
bigbruno56 that made no sense 🤦🏽♀️
Where does the bible teach that the pastor is the overseer over a congregation of people. Jesus is the overseer and elders provide some spiritual leadership to point people toward Jesus.
I agree with everything you've presented in this video. I was raised to go to church every Sunday. I was too young then to see the truth. Now that I'm "woke," I wont be fooled. Thank you for this video.
Susan Grant www.BibleProphecyTruth.con
Susan Grant same
Susan Grant so you have service at your home with your family and take take time even day to teach the word of God, you give your money's to poor and homeless or you just stop completely ? Go back to church no all churches are the same they are million of churches. Don't pay attention to thid video, they do more harm than good to the gospel of Christ !
The davil always send someone to turn you away from good
Sign on the front lawn, "Come as you are... and stay the same when you leave."
So sad.
There were times when I went to church, I felt it was just a show, and not real. I might say, Pretentious. I am nobody of course, it just didn't seem real.
I went to one today that felt alot like that. So the search for a worthy church continues.
Read about the early churches. House groups may be something us Christians could think about.
Thank you. You have summed my last few years experience and revelations. I can't believe I actually found a video to describe my life's greatest discoveries about my faith.
PS can you re-release this vid under a more friendly name so as others less curious would stumble upon it and watch it
You just use your faith for your ego to divide and hate
Nothing is dark - ker than christianity. You worship government as christianity was government implemented. Thats why you have less spiritual consciousness than a potato
@@simionenaclably9280 Idiot!
I quit attending "church" about 12 years ago for this very reason. This video has helped me to start walking in the right direction again.
I could never understand why most church worship on Sunday. When Exodus 20 8-11 plainly states Saturday-which is the Sabbath.
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AREOUND THE WORLD WORK ON SATURDAY ! WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, FOR GOODNESS SAKE ? Love God and your neighbour,
pray for guidance and obey the 10 commandments.
AROUND !
It is not church that is changing so much in America it is its commitment and practice to preach a true Biblical gospel !
You are right.
For over 100 years church in America had been a business
Why go to church when you see nothing happening among it's people and no one is seeing healing, deliverance and everyone seems so unhappy? I believe that until you yourself read the scriptures for yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to work in you by sharing the gospel with your neighbour, etc. Going to church once a week does not make you a Christian and if your works are dead then you have nothing in you to even reflect who Christ is? Until you have been born-again and see yourself transformed and doing what the Lord has spoken of then I encourage all to seek the Kingdom of God first and not a church that is dead and void of God's gifts.
LovNJoy Peace I totally agree. I left two large churches because there was too much cliche going on and the pastors did more traveling than being at church. Right now I have church with 20 or less people at a school gym. And Ive learned more of the Bible and have learned how to build my own personal relationship with God. I'm so careful of all the church drama. I kinda stay in my own lane because sometimes people in the church are just as messy and full of drama like anybody. I'm just very guarded.

If many of the people are seeking and searching for God these places, are we to let them be lost because we are not in their midst, humbling holding our lamp high to help the sheep that Christ called, find Him? Christ spoke to, healed and went into dine with those that the people of God would not have ever considered doing so before He came. We can be a light to the few we may encounter and pray all the while for His Spirit to be revived there and awaken many going down the wrong path. If we follow Jesus, then we can't just hide away in our safe place and let them follow the dead. We love all of them in God's love that we have to diligently seek rather than our limited understanding of loving. We are directed by Jesus to meet, David showed us how to worship and if we will just let God guide us to be the Shepard's that we have been commanded/commissioned to be, many of those desiring Him will be loved into His truth because we let Him use us there. He will bring to us those that have an ear to hear, that we might have otherwise discarded and we would have let be led astray. This is compassion, in part of seeking the Kingdom of God.
Ana,
Some would say, go as your heart directs you but beware..."the heart is deceitful above all things" Jeremiah 17:9
I also felt God called me away from the church...felt great going for walk in nature on Sundays. Praying trying to talk to God (no remorse or guilt) no church and no worries.
But slowly I began to struggle without that connection to other believers....Not saying your wrong...just saying be careful
+Eric Kingsbury bless you ....there is no right or wrong way to despise or defend the church...
This must be an old video simply because by now, we need to question the theological soundness of churches today. It started with theatrics but now they have changed the Gospel to accommodate and please the masses.
Not every church. Try the every spirit to see if it is of God.
It is more than theological soundness, it is also the walking out of it. He is not saying doctrine is not important. His intro speaks about the "False "Church System" Deception and the "systematized business that "church" has become". That's his emphasis on this video. He's shaking us awake to something we're all so used to and seen so much we don't even recognize what we're seeing.
I was in a very small church that had, for what I knew at the time, very sound doctrine. God blessed the word to me each Sunday. The people seemed friendly to me, I enjoyed being around them at potlucks after service and occasionally at someone's house. God used the time there to stabilize me as He'd woken me to the Apostasy after calling me out of my old church.
To make the story short. They were only the church at church, on Sunday and Wednesday. No love shown to the sick or old and feeble. Soon, the Pastor was heading into Contemplative prayer and I came to see the strong vein of Witchcraft underlying the congregation. I tried to talk with them, but no one wanted to hear. They weren't being the church, building or no building. They were getting together for a social program that pleased them and bringing their occultic practices in with them. They were still maintaining the systematized church as business model but fell apart. They regrouped under the same model but no longer exist as a church because they lost their first love.
@@humptydumpty5921 in time, it will be most if not all churches...its spreading like wild fire....even the Pentecostal churches - which were known for strong rules and very conservative as being affected. A while back they had a worship competition with rewards for the best worship team. Now that was ridiculous. But it think they realized the error and stopped it after the event. Times has changed and even the practice of women pastors is rampant...Each day and year, this generation is learning to interpret scripture based on their present time and making large adjustments thinking it has to make changes due to cultural differences. CRAYZNESS
Tejano37 Your words are my feelings exactly!! I was Pentecostal .... this video is what I needed to see.
Wondering tho....worshipping Jesus? Is this a direct violation of the commandments, particularly “Thou shalt have no other god’s before me ?” I’m not even sure how to pray anymore.😢. I just want to serve the Creator, The Most High, who I know as “God”, thru the church upbringing. I’m thankful for other’s who are awake. I wish there was a support group or something.
Hope Ful I know exactly what you mean. I had those same feelings as I grew up. My theological beliefs and the things I learned to be truth we’re quickly changing and realizing it was no truth what I learned. I looked to those family members that where strong in the church but found no support or understanding. I just read the whole Bible for myself and questioned every theological belief I learned. I made sure that what I believe is based on what I found the Bible to say and not on what someone else said.
Now, everything I hear I research and see what the Bible says and decided what to believe or not. I don’t believe in women pastors, I don’t believe in using worship to reach the lost as an out reach. Worship is for believers not an outreach. To reach the lost, simply preach the Gospel and let the Holy Spirit do the rest. This music evangelism has lead to lavish theatrical performance that has become a social center and circus.
I don’t believe in tithing nor in the order of church services with the pastor on an alter above the person..pastors were called to serve not be served.
God bless that brave man for speaking truth to the congrégation !

I am deeply thankful for Josh's videos. and Jacob Prasch's videos as well (Moriel TV). Josh has a gift for clarifying issues, and he sure gets under ol' Johnny Mac's skin. Lol!
How are you doing today my name is Eric moore
The problem with deception is that people don't know they are being deceived
Tell us your sins , let's fix you up...where are you going? You owe us now.
Why do so many so called Bible believing Christians have trouble receiving this? I have shared this teaching with many and most react as if I am now on the lunatic fringe!
TH-cam has failed to notify me of your reply! Thank you for your reply, I do agree with all of the verses you have given. I have often thought this is a matter of God's timing. As well as this human nature doesn't change, and we are told the people do not listen to the prophets. I am not necessarily calling myself a prophet, but the words of God in 1 Sam 8:7 often go through my mind to reassure me, "for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them." 1 Sam 8:7.
Rom 15:13
Isaiah 29:13 comes to mind too!
My husband and i both agree with the teaching, some think we are nuts for it as well. Wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in Jesus name, There He will be in the midst.
:) sounds like a great idea!
Alice Wild, Amen😊But as for you, SPEAK the THINGS which are PROPER for SOUND DOCTRINE. Titus 2:1
The reason why there is so much confusion is because most professing christians don't understand what 2 Tim 2:15 "KJV
"15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.", and so many people put their trust in a pastor then studying the bible for themselves.
Amen and amen! Paul wrote it and few do it. The fake "church" we see today is the result of what happened while Paul lived and wrote:"2 Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes."
He meant almost all who originally believed his gospel [Galatians et al] had apostatized back to religion/Judaizers etc. which eventually led to the Constantinian Roman Catholic Church and its Protestant daughters.
The 1st century Church in Asia is now the Eastern Orthodox Church. Christ founded one Church with Peter as the head apostle - that Church is now the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church with the pope as the successor of Peter.
Jonathan DeLeon So everywhere the word church is mentioned is the same church or is it talking about a different set of people? Says who that the "Church is now the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church with the pope as the successor of Peter."?
Jonathan DeLeon The pope is a heretic! What are you talking about? Catholics are the omega of apostasy!

Most Church goers dont understand the Bible, period! They dont know how to read it!
Thanks for provoking me to think and seek after the Lord for guidance, it is not easy to find a small group of people where you feel you are part of, like a family, I am thankful to the Lord I am part of one, but I do know many christians who long desperatedly for such a place of fellowship and cant find it, because some churches are focused on numbers and finances
we are the church, our soul is a temple of the Almighty Creator and Saviour.
It's a shame that there are so few real Churches out there. It's not that there aren't sincere people who love the Lord in these "business model" Churches. There are, and many of them seem to get by okay. Perhaps they go out of their way to establish relationships with other Christians and have fellowship. But, it's a shame that the Church so long ago seems to have forgotten the purpose of the Church. I've seen worldly "support groups" that function more like a real Church than most "Churches" do.
There are a ton of scriptures that tell us what a real Church should be, but most congregations and preachers just seem to ignore most of them. If all we do is have an hour or two of sermons every week, we've never really experienced what God intended the Church to be. There should be fellowship meetings available every day of the week (Hebrews 3:13), and you don't need a "professional" Christian to be there.
Most theology school graduates, while they may be intelligent and knowledgeable about some things, don't seem to get what a Church is supposed to be at all. God will send them the people He wants them to minister to, but many of them are too busy working on their "business model" to pay any attention to what the Holy Spirit is doing around them and join Him in His work. It's His work, not ours!
I AM AM SO HAPPY TO FIND MY FAMILY WITH THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PURE AND HONEST PEOPLE. THEY LIVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE. I LIKE FINDING BIBLE TRUTHS.
Pedro Viaud I don’t like the mega churches I use to go to one but I found out you are not recognized if you don’t have wealth!
@@Jan5532 Beware you are on the wrong path that leads to hell!!!
I am getting ready to start my third home church. Pray for me.
@Sky Lion Thanks.
I can identify with all of the comments below... they sing, come just as you are, but they eventually reject you because your not married, your too poor, you don't dress right, or they simply don't want to respect you as a pastor... rejection is not of God!
the list goes on and on... I've come to the conclusion that I would rather be alone and be right with God than to be in a fake congregation that that the Holy Spirit has obviously left!
thank u for your vid.
2 young truth!!!
2 young I've been homeless for a while due up circumstances outside my control. I used to think I'd get help from a church. I tried for fifteen years and they aren't set up to help anyone genuinely. They've always given me the cold shoulder for not being in their social classes and have condemned me for even needing help. I'm still homeless, now in Philadelphia. If you have any ideas I'm happy to hear them.
2 young being a Believer can be lonely but I've learned to accept it and wait on God.
I'm there with you. Even in house churches, people just don't know what they are doing (many times) or don't care to 'do church' by the biblical model. Been alone for 15 years (longer, but I start with the start of my hard times in 2003). God bless you and lead you soon to godly men and women who will come alongside you and encourage you.
Chur hes I have been to have been very accepting. I can't ever recall feelikg unwelcomed . I am in the South btw.
In the tiny church that my wife and I attend, we once had rickety metal chairs for people to set in. We now have benches for them. We used to have no platform but then when someone would speak, not all could hear them. We have a platform now and all are encouraged to use it (not just pastors and/or other leaders). When Jesus spoke in a synagogue he went to the front of the room so as to speak to the 'congregation.' When He spoke and thousands were saved, He did so from the sides of mountains and out in a boat where people could see and hear Him. My church has no place to congregate to have snacks before or after--oh, we do make coffee to encourage some to stay after and socialize and talk about their lives and read scripture and pray for one another. I see nothing wrong with this either. We do not take offering at our church and we don't ask for anything although people do bring money to the church to be spent on certain things--we have a food bank, the building and grounds have been paid off and we owe nobody, the electricity and heat stay turned on when we congregate and this gets paid too. We have Sunday School together (not in separate age groups) and in this meeting any and all speak whenever they feel they need to--it is encouraged. I first came to this church because we were invited--they came to me, not I to them. We also came because we had no food in our house--they fed us from their food bank and did not make us feel like lowlife's. When I was in the hospital for almost a month, the Pastor came to see me (many miles away) and asked that my wife call him for ANYTHING at ANY TIME (do you know how it felt to know that someone was willing to see to my wife's welfare when I could not be there for her)? I believe that the Scriptures point out that WE are the church--that the church is IN US. Were their no concern for the structure of the church / it's leadership, I don't believe that Timothy (and others) would have paid attention to one word that the Apostle Paul had to say to him. Peter was also certain to tell the 'congregation' of thousands who were complaining that THEY should choose seven men (of their own) who they would wish to have lead them--that is, he did not choose to take that opportunity to lord over them, rather, they did choose for themselves who they would submit to. I'm just tired of church-bashing and Christianity-bashing; yes, we were told that this day would come, but it doesn't make it easier for me to accept. There is so much squabbling going on between so-called Christians; seems these are not in the least, concerned about the Kingdom and bringing the lost to Jesus Christ. I think they just want to hear themselves and the Scriptures go against their own way of thinking (which we know also was said to come). I'm not happy about some things (including the Mega-Church), but I trust that God will take care of things. All I can do is continue to worship God, to pray, to teach the Gospel to others and love them, and be open to the direction of the Holy Spirit. How I choose to do this (inside a church or in a home or on the grass outside or in a boat or on a mountain side), is of no concern to me. Only that I follow the Will of God. I wish that God sees fit to speak to all of us tonight--wherever we are.
Northwoods Hermit--- Amen and God Bless you and yours. I agree with all that you wrote. Wish I could find a church like that here where I live but have not. You are Blessed.
NorthwoodsHermit Amen, God Bless you.
NorthwoodsHermit nice book
You're welcome. Isn't it nice technology--that we can choose what to read and how to respond? Short enough for you?
Deb M, me too ... I have been searching all of my life ... I do not feel worthy of starting such a church, or I would.
Song i wrote(to tune of Little Boxes)
Thousand steeples on the hillside,
Deceive God's children just to come inside
Where they line them up in pews,
And have them stare "in Jesus Name"
At the preachers, priests, and pastors
They've turned Christ's body into a disaster!
Cause they've robbed them of their birthright
And they've made the lion tame.
They've been lied to 'bout His Kingdom
Cause Jesus resides right inside of 'em!
New creations! Pure and holy
No condemnation, guilt or blame.
Be ye Baptist or Methodist, Charismatic or Presbyterian
You're just slightly reformed Catholics
And you sit there just the same!
Just be sisters and be brothers, you'll be known for loving others.
Not your doctrines or your buildings, worship services, "glad you came!"
A thousand steeples all around us
do Christ's body a great disservice.
They separate us from one another
And fill us full of fear and shame.
A thousand christians in the neighborhood
Freed from stubble, freed from hay and wood
Have more impact on the kingdom
Than all the steeples ever could.
The Christian life is really simple
When you realize YOU"RE GOD's TEMPLE!!
You're now free to tell the story...
"It's Christ in US, the hope of glory"
A cup of water to an orphan.
Turn widow's frown into a smile.
This is religion pure and undefiled
THis is life in Christ- out in the wild.
Great song!
Wow, sending this to a friend. God bless!
Absolutely heart-Warmingly beautiful and yet So True 'A pure desire we would all have more UnderStanding For God To Open Our Minds Everyday to See like He Do ♥ God Bless You And Family Shalom
Having a personal and intimate relationship with God thru Christ. Meeting together where and when ever with others is the church. People.
Historically and etymologically, this is not correct. If you read the New Testament you will find that in the Gospels Jesus often went to "the synagogue" to participate on the Sabbath. The word "synagogue" means essentially the same thing as ecclesia--namely, a "gathering." Hence, the synagogue was BOTH the gathering place and the gathered people of God. Therefore, the Ecclesia (i.e. church) referred to both the gathered people of God and the sacred space in which they consistently gathered. It is illiterate to claim that ecclesia only refers to the people of God gathered in worship. If so, than the synagogues where Jesus taught were not synagogues, which is absurd.
Great video. Many Christians are ignorant of scripture. Some because they are just learning, others because they put more priority on a pastor and not the Bible. Wake up brotheren. Wake up.
You are right CLEMDAWG,its sad but true this is how the Sheeple get deceived into false religion,by Charismatic flamboyant mesmerizing people like Joseph Smith(Mormonism) Charles Taze Russell (Jehovah Witness) Catholicism(Pope) Christian Science(Mary Baker Eddy) and the little schisms or daughters of the Whore of Babylon..I woke up to these things a long time ago,and I now am a part of the Church without walls,praise YHWH or Halleluyah..thank you Jesus Messiah keep the faith brother...maranatha
Cool so you actually know your bible huh? Tell me then; what did Satan do so bad? Was it not God himself who was responsible for animal/human sacrifice? For rape? For child abuse? Biblically, who is the evil one.. Satan? Or was is God?
WTF does maranatha mean exactly?
They shall not Endure sound Doctrine, for the lord will send them a strong Delusion.
Julio Conde I am with you.
+Julio Conde - You're combining two verses from two different books of the Bible... James and 1 Corinthians..Not supposed to do that.
] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
unspotted from the world can mean unspotted from the aggressive mean nature competitive spirit to 'progress' to be successful to step on everyone to push heads down into the soil to slay anyone wounded in the battle which is what some groups are doing slaying the sheep who are hurt or wanting more of Jesus to cling to Him in a crazy world or magnifying themselves higher to appear mighty and powerful to crush the ordinary ones .These things are in the evil family of ungodliness and darkness of glorifying the already power hungry . Each of the words align with scripture as to the MEEK that are persecuted by the Pharisees we have today.
KJV! Yes!
Amen.....I grew up as a Fatherless boy since I was 7.
And My Mother has been a Widow for the last 42 years and she still loves Jesus.
We never had much of special care and concerns from the Pastors we knew.
It is solely the grace of God my Mother and I was able to live.
And of course we were not rich and I still am not either. But I love God who is truly my Parents and Father.
If the pastors truly read and understood one of those red letter words that Jesus Himself spoke, there would be a rude of awakening in the christian circle.
A M E N !
Amen
Thank you Brother, I praise God for your boldness about TRUTH. May our Lord continue to use you.
The problems you address in this video are some of the main reasons the home-church movement is growing greatly. People want to participate in church meetings, and interact with their fellow believers, not just be spectators watching a show.
At same time thats how cults start in thouse home, s pecially if they dont know the word of God!
I absolutely love this video. So many of my concerns and doubts with the church are articulated here! Thank you Servus Christi, keep it up, and all glory to God.
I pray you have been encouraged and emboldened. May Jesus ultimately be glorified.
Andrey Kashin amen.
Servus Christi amen.

I enjoyed the video also. I don't understand why there aren't more videos like this on the internet. There does seem to be something of an awakening out there of the importance of genuine fellowship as opposed to a weekly one hour speech. I suppose there are Christians who feel they can get by on that, but we're not only robbing ourselves by neglecting the Biblical model for the Church, we're robbing our brothers and sisters as well as those souls who show up in the "business model" Church seeking the very thing God purposed the Church to be, and end up wandering away disappointed because that model doesn't produce any real fruit. It doesn't provide what God intended the Church to provide. You can find better sermons online than you can in one of these Churches (if you know what to look for and you use critical thinking). But it's hard to find a genuine Bible based Church. Some of them have real good theology and all that, and that's a good thing, but it will never replace a Church that's based on the Biblical model.
God bless you. I felt like I was the only one that thought this way. I started to feel that something was wrong with me. I pray that the Lord will help me to understand more and more as I study scripture. I hunger for this.
I think that certain frustrations have caused a disdain for the entire system.
There are many parts ofthe church tidsy derived from the bible. Dont throw out the baby with the bath water

Who else is watching this at the end of 2019 & saying.....”Amen, yep!” 🤨🧐🤨🤔😥😲🤭😬😧
Watching on the 1st of Jan, 2020. The initial pattern is fellowship of believers - 1Cor. 14:26. But the prevailing system is far from what an Ecclessia is.
This is what you dis gusting christian demonz wor (WAR) ship: th-cam.com/video/ofUSsu40zGY/w-d-xo.html
Natalie its only YOU that judges, you stoopid christian mon ster. Infinite love and light judges nothing and sees the perfection of it all. You only judge yourself by refusing to go deep within. Thats why you cant go deep within, but this man of light can: th-cam.com/video/Xt6oqqk1J2k/w-d-xo.html you cant go deep within because demonz cant go deep within and see the outer world as dark. But angels did all the hard inner work of going deep within and see the outer worlds as infinite beauty light and magic. You hateful disgusting mon ster. You hate your self and nothing else !!!
Simione Naclably it is you calling people USELESS STOOPID & DISGUSTING...🤨🤔🤔. And you judge NASTY....
Thats not judgment. Because there is no such thing as a "you. The ego mind ials the blindest and dumbest entity in the universe.. Rocks are not stoopid enough to believe the garbage that christians believe. Its the truth. Thats why you hate deep questions so much, because you hate yourself. You have no answers to anything
Jesus said "Go forth and make disciples and teach them all I have commanded you..." - nowadays people are so happy to fellowship with each other (Christians in church) and forgets about the lost world out there...Jesus did not say stay in the church/synagogue and wait for the unbelievers to come in...NO He said go OUT into the world...!!! Why have Christians become so blind?
Sad but true, I am guilty sometimes...

I pray you were encouraged and emboldened by it. God bless you.
@@ServusChristi The mass makes the difference. If you love Christ, you would do well not to be at enmity with him and his beloved mother.
Wow! I'm really sorry this has been your experience. I hope that your faith in Christ had not faltered. May you find peace and somewhere to share your faith.
