God made us perfectly for His purpose. That we share and live in His love. We are at our very best when we love. When we hurt one another it is God we're really hurting and when we love one another it's God we're really loving. Jesus said, you are my sheep because you visited me while I was imprisoned. The person replied, but lord I have never visited you in prison. Jesus replied, what you do onto others you do onto me. The big point in all of this is, if we really do live in Christ and He really does live in us. When anyone is loved we too are loved and when we hurt one another we really are just hurting ourselves.
I came across you channel yesterday. I have shared it with a friend as we are both struggling through the same fight. We first watched "Why I don't go to church anymore". I have been out of church for a while but your message was able to put into words emotions that I have but have been unable to express. This morning I watched "If it's all about God and not me: Then what about me.?" This has literally changed my life. At 52 years of age your words have given me hope that I haven't had in over a quarter century. The church has beaten what God has put in me out of me. I felt like I had no purpose outside of continuing to die to self that I might glorify Christ. This is what the church has taught me. I have been at war within myself over my desires and whether they were good or evil. As you probably can guess I have been taught that they are evil. Thank you for your life giving words and revelation that my life not only means something, but was worth enough for Jesus to leave heaven itself to come and give me that resurrection life. I will be sharing your videos with so many more people.
Hope your doing alright bud and still living without religion and realizing thoughts arent good or evil they are what your creator intended for for you so maybe instead of looking to a guy that aint a friend just a talking rule book with a smile that is lost in life. He is confused and feels empty. With religion it puts his mind at ease. We have a purpose and not knowing made him crazy. claiming to have only love in his heart and not have any ulterior motives because Jesus is now in control he then shares a trick to witness to people about the bible and its not with manipulation and up front being nice but being who you are and instead acting like you dont care and also arent interested in friends.. elitists what he calls manipulation specifically mormans will use by asking you if you need anything or if the church could reach out to you in anyway and when you sit think about it is actually disrespecrful and rude and a sign theres something fishy!!! NO WHAT YOU WANNA DO IS STALK SOMEONE WITH YOUR BIBLE IN TOW AND SMILE WAY TO HARD UNTIL THEY GIVE UP AND ASK "SO HOW YOU DOIN" ... The time has come for you to share the good news and the truth and the reason you are smiling because you are extremely content they think. You break the ice by saying with a big smile that the reason you have been readi ng the bible in public is because its so great and also Naturally im unsure how to bring it up to you because youll probably read it and be so happy like me that friends what i claim to be the answer to all of my questions ick you into theirptell people what they are about what made him so happymotives and when he says that being friendly is actually manipulative and h
@@eskee1 I've heard this happening with so many people and happened to myself where when first being born again we had so much love and joy then after committing to a church over time are so tunnel visioned of life only existing around the church, the joy left and love waxed cold. My change happened after I left the church and received revelation of the grace of God. Now i live with a regular every day joy peace and love with his constant assurance i am his. Now i share this grace message with others who like myself grew tired of this religion which was geared more about self and the religious rollercoaster of ups and downs joy to defeat... and continue to be blown away about how easy salvation by grace through faith in Jesus christ really is. Blown away daily that everlasting joy and peace as described in the bible is real and very much apart of my very existence.
I am absolutely floored with your words, Holy Spirit, as you spoke through Brother Rijksen. Bless this man, your vessel, and prosper what he lays his hand to. He has faithfully relayed your Word, and you have shone brightly through his uniqueness. Once again Jesus you have slain me and conquered my heart as the Great Conqueror you are. Again bless this child of yours, protect him, prosper him and sing to him. Absolutely amazed.
I thank God for the life of Christ flowing through you bas. Continue to love and inspire the body of Christ to fully manifest Christ in us the hope of Glory..brothers and sisters in Christ i salute all of you for seeking the truth who is Christ. Love Helter
I've been taking some classes, and they're answering a lot of questions for me. But I still have some unanswered ones. I came to your TH-cam page and found answers to half a dozen of them, and that was just at a cursory glance. God is with you. Keep up the good work.
Thankyou Bas, you`ve made me realise that God has been speaking to me all along and i just didn`t see it!!, every day for as long as i can remember i wake up to a new song in my head, sometimes it might be a recent song i have heard but quite often it is a song completely out of the blue, and this last two years ive wondered if there is more to this, so ive been searching for an answer and you just gave it to me!!ll my goal now is to try to understand the message in the songs and write them down,what brought me to you was the same as Ken Cowman below , what you teach seems to me to be common sense and a refreshing way to understand the Bible,it all seems so much simpler now.
I just wanted to thank you for writing out some of the videos you make. It makes it easy to share things when I have the text ready to share for those who can't watch a video at the time. You're the first person I've seen do this. Thank you! I've found your videos very helpful. I came across you when searching for Paul Ellis which is someone who's taught me so much. I will be watching all of your videos.
Bas, this was amazing!!! I have been learning about grace for 3 years and didn't know that this was a subtle lie that was embedded in my psyche !!! I'm going to listen to this again and again!! Thanks!!!
HEt is mooi dat je dit aankaart. Wees gewoon jij. God wil dat je uit de verf komt. Aan Zijn hand. Als je totaal in God bent leef je je eigen leven,aan Gods hand en verbonden met Zijn Geest en ideeen en Zijn hart. Je kunt je leven dan veel beter inrichten. De ziel is in het Hebreeuws leven.. Je moet dus je onbesneden hart willen verliezen, en je leven in Christus willen vinden..Dan is er ook veel meer mogelijk als je rust en vrede vind in Hem. Je zult betrouwbaar zijn.Het christelijke leven is een partnerschap. God zou niet willen dat het alleen om Hem ging. Hij wil samenwerken.
Wauw, dat heb je mooi gezegd. Zo waar ook! God wil met ons samen zijn (in de eenheid die we met Hem hebben) en met ons samenwerken vanuit die rust en vrede die alleen te vinden is in Hem...Dank je voor je comment
wow, dit is net wat ik nodig had om te horen. niet onbekend deze boodschap, maar toch weer duidelijker. geeft weer meer invulling aan de gedachte/waarheid dat jezus van mij houdt en waarom ik nog op deze planeet ben. ga dit delen op facebook.
Hoi Joke. kBen blij dat je deze boodschap tegenkwam en het zo timely was voor je! Dank je voor je hulp in het verspreiden van de Goed Boodschap door het te delen op social media. gr. Bas
I agree with his teaching that each believer should get away from the institution and have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. The LORD Himself told us not to call any human our teacher or father, but that The LORD alone was Our ONLY Teacher and Father - Matthew 23:8-10 However the STRONGEST CONCERN with the grace movement is that IT IS A PETRI DISH FOR DEMONS. When we were saved our spirits got saved and became one with The LORD - we are as He is and we are Holy in His Sight - 1John 4:17, Hebrews 2:11. Our souls - physical body, mind, will and emotions remained the same. If that was not true every person who gets saved will immediately be 100% healed of every ailment and would never have a problem with anger etc. And we know that does not happen. Beyond that there a people who have evil spiritual hangers on/evil entities/demons because they were vulnerable to deep hurt, abuse or a transference of a genetic/ancestral evil through their blood. ALL those things have been DEFEATED BY CHRIST but it is the believer who has to enforce that defeat in their souls by casting out those entities of the abuse they suffered. The grace movement while ignoring the demon casting out issue sometimes has preached that people cannot be possessed with demons. The new age movement teaches the same. As a result THE DEMONS REMAIN AND GET A STRONGER HOLD IN THE PERSON'S LIFE and the confusion that arises can lead the grace movement to justify every aberration that INVITES DEMONS IN like homosexuality etc. because they FOCUS ONLY ON LOVE!. While a believer cannot be possessed in his spirit by demons, his soul can be. ALSO EVERYTHING SUPERNATURAL IS NOT OF THE GOD OF TRUTH. evil can manifest with supernatural "healings" etc. which are a DECEPTION - they don't last and will cause the person to be worse than they were. roman catholic exorcism is one because the religion is rooted in pagan sun worship and satan will not fight against satan. William Branham who is known for his supernatural gifts, often true gifts where people even today testify of how they were helped, was said, by his assistant Ern Baxter, to operate with 2 spirits. This can happen especially when the preacher/person is under pressure to perform, or through DECEPTION and their ego, goes outside of his assignment from The LORD. A person called to be only an evangelist can try to teach or think he or she is a prophet or apostle when The LORD never called them into that ministry. In all ministry in The Name of the LORD GOD of Truth, and the Father of The LORD Jesus (Yehoshua), the minister must be dead to his or her flesh and be ONLY Spirit in The Father, with the ONLY desire to be a conduit of His Will and Word for every person. As the apostle John said, He must increase and we must decrease. The LORD told us that believers in Him will cast out demons. It is a supernatural sign THAT WILL FOLLOW BELIEVERS. Let us not miss His Ministry by deception of darkness that is defeated when exposed and allowed to multiply and destroy when able to hide. The LORD said that satan comes to KILL STEAL AND DESTROY - John 10:10. If we see that happening in the lives of people including believers let us seek the LORD to teach us and let us check every teaching with Him as He is OUR ONLY TEACHER.
I have felt that if I am should be like God what about the things in my personality that make me me. Will I cease to exsist as me? Then it made me feel confused and that I didn't matter to God. Basically that there be none of "ME" left to go to heaven and what was the point for Gos to just take himself back to heaven if I am not me. Hope this makes sense.
I have a question, related to about 14:55 in your video. So if we have this freedom to choose (I saw a video about God's Will yesterday and it was liberating), how or in what ways does the Holy Spirit lead you? I once believed that God had a specific purpose for you and that was it, but the idea of doing whatever you want (alongside God and His ideals) is new to me.
Hi Samuel, Good question. A few things are key here for me in regards to my freedom of choice versus being led by the Holy Spirit aka hearing His voice: - The Lord's voice comes to me/us as seemingly being my own thoughts. - As long as I delight myself in the Lord (and keep renewing my mind), I do what desires are put on my heart/I do what I want without getting to bugged down about: is this the Lord's desire or mine because: - I let peace be the regulator of my daily decisions. If I continue to have peace about anything I do or partake in, I move on...because with the peace I know the Lord is in it. Because of our union with the Lord we can't tell when He starts and I end, and I start and He ends. I just actively rest in Him and serve from a place of innerrest. Here is a good teaching on it: www.awmi.net/extra/audio/1030
So everything I like for example like watching basketball or sports in general or a movie or like a place I like things that I just like on my own that’s naturally me. But then others will say those things you naturally like are not god they are of this world bla bla they have to be what god wants and not what we actually like. I hope god is actually like what you are teaching bas and not the other way around god bless you bas
Bas, what is the correct approach to use when a Christian comes under attack, - especially when its long and unyielding affecting employment social and marital areas??? Is it ok to pray warfare prayers, read psalm 37 & such others against them, take your power and speak against them, seek deliverance from a deliverance minister/prophets (usually involves "$donation"), or just keep on praying and believing even after many years??? Please give an answer this is a confusing area.
Institutions by design presses the individual DOWN. You turned your back on religion, and guess what, bro? You are now facing Jesus. The "False Humility" trap message you spoke was a wake up call for me. Bas, you're cool.
Wow, well said. I am really impressed with your ability to communicate your message but do have a few concerns.You swept away all teaching about dying to "self" in one big statement but did not say anything other than that they were often taken out of context. I do believe in dying to self to be able to give glory to God and cannot see how you can push this all aside like that. If you want to disagree with something so big in the new testament teachings, you should at least show why this is not right in your eyes. It is not very hard to give a lovely message without actually making a good starting point. If I have believed the wrong thing, I would at least like to see why I was wrong.You seem to imply somehow that we are gods with a little g. That brought my mind straight back to genesis where the same implication was given to Adam and Eve.... Even though I agree with the point of being in Christ, we do not become little christs. example; if I am a good guitar player, the glory does not go to my individual fingers for picking the right notes. they are not little me's. All the glory really goes to the head from where all is directed. The very thing to say that we are little gods, leaves the door open for a totally wrong type of worship; a worship directed to men instead of God.These are my greatest concerns and hope you will consider them.
I think Brother Jaapaaj that, when you play an amazing melodious sound on the piano, the question is not whether your fingers or your brain get the glory. Actually, it is not about giving glory to anyone. We must realize that we as humans have no glory to give. Rather as Brother Bas says, we show forth God's Glory. When I hear my African brothers and sisters from Nigeria sing these amazing sounds that they sing, I can't help but wonder at God's majesty. They really do a great job of reflecting God's glory at simply doing what they clearly love to do best. I always ask myself that if they sound this good, how good must Jesus Himself sound? When I read a science paper, I can't help but notice how the scientist does His best to reflect the Glory of God's intellect. I ask myself we know very little about the Physics and Chemistry of life, but the little we know is so glorious that it makes me wonder what else I don't know. The complexity of the Human mind just tells of how complex the mind of Christ is but yet, He makes it so simple that a 5-year-old can understand. It is not that we must die to self in order to Glorify Christ, rather we must realize that we have already died to self (Gal 2:19-20 )and He has glorified us. We must watch out brother as the Apostle Paul admonishes us, for the enemy knows the power we now possess; he will always try to cause us not operate in that power, by keeping us striving to be what we already are. But we must not let anyone threaten the radical freedom that is now ours in Christ. Amen! God Bless you Brother.
I guess we need preachers that tickle unbelievers ears for the end to come. Thank for bringing it closer. You hardly ever quote verses and when you do they are wrong. Like 1 John 4:17.

Its us & Jesus. We are co-workers. Partakers. We will not walk alone & we follow Jesus. It is still us, but with guide, our Lord Jesus.
I wish I'd heard all this stuff 20 years ago - would have saved me much pain and heartache :-)
What's the matter pal?

I don't know how many times I have watched this video already but this video blesses me every single time. God Bless you, Brother.!
This is amazing
God gave me a second chance. I was lost but now found. God is good.
Thank God for Jesus Christ.
I thank God for the life of Christ flowing through you bas. Continue to love and inspire the body of Christ to fully manifest Christ in us the hope of Glory..brothers and sisters in Christ i salute all of you for seeking the truth who is Christ.

I'm surely hoping that this is all true. I do have my doubts,but if it is, then I pray that God will reveal it to me.
God will Brother. He sure will. He loves you passionately and it is His desire to do so.
Onya Bas. Gutsy to spread the Gospel like this mate. Well done.Setting us sinners free to be saints, in the bosom of our Father. Good on you Bas.

This was an excellent message and one that needs to be embraced in the Body of Christ!!! Let the truth of this message overtake all Christians!!!
Connie Durrell Thank you Connie. Amen to that! Gr. Bas
Wow... thank you for enlighting me about oneness with God. I dare to be different to glorify Him more with my life.
This explains alot to me.Especially thru experience of when I felt closer to God and better tuned in to our relationship
Bas, this was amazing!!! I have been learning about grace for 3 years and didn't know that this was a subtle lie that was embedded in my psyche !!! I'm going to listen to this again and again!! Thanks!!!
I'm thrilled! Because, as you know, knowing the truth sets you free. May you experience another, deeper, sense of freedom that you already have!

If you want to disagree with something so big in the new testament teachings, you should at least show why this is not right in your eyes. It is not very hard to give a lovely message without actually making a good starting point. If I have believed the wrong thing, I would at least like to see why I was wrong.You seem to imply somehow that we are gods with a little g. That brought my mind straight back to genesis where the same implication was given to Adam and Eve.... Even though I agree with the point of being in Christ, we do not become little christs. example; if I am a good guitar player, the glory does not go to my individual fingers for picking the right notes. they are not little me's. All the glory really goes to the head from where all is directed. The very thing to say that we are little gods, leaves the door open for a totally wrong type of worship; a worship directed to men instead of God.These are my greatest concerns and hope you will consider them.
I think Brother Jaapaaj that, when you play an amazing melodious sound on the piano, the question is not whether your fingers or your brain get the glory. Actually, it is not about giving glory to anyone. We must realize that we as humans have no glory to give. Rather as Brother Bas says, we show forth God's Glory. When I hear my African brothers and sisters from Nigeria sing these amazing sounds that they sing, I can't help but wonder at God's majesty. They really do a great job of reflecting God's glory at simply doing what they clearly love to do best. I always ask myself that if they sound this good, how good must Jesus Himself sound? When I read a science paper, I can't help but notice how the scientist does His best to reflect the Glory of God's intellect. I ask myself we know very little about the Physics and Chemistry of life, but the little we know is so glorious that it makes me wonder what else I don't know. The complexity of the Human mind just tells of how complex the mind of Christ is but yet, He makes it so simple that a 5-year-old can understand. It is not that we must die to self in order to Glorify Christ, rather we must realize that we have already died to self (Gal 2:19-20 )and He has glorified us. We must watch out brother as the Apostle Paul admonishes us, for the enemy knows the power we now possess; he will always try to cause us not operate in that power, by keeping us striving to be what we already are. But we must not let anyone threaten the radical freedom that is now ours in Christ. Amen! God Bless you Brother.
What has become of this brother?
I guess we need preachers that tickle unbelievers ears for the end to come. Thank for bringing it closer. You hardly ever quote verses and when you do they are wrong. Like 1 John 4:17.
