My oldest daughter, Julieanne, died in active military duty on 7/17/2002, and was buried next to my parents.Nine years ago, my three siblings, decided she was not worthy to rest next to them, because they did not approve of her service. They took me to court, and I was required to move her. However, God saw the situation differently, and she was moved to Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Praise God! 🙏
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter! Many people do not understand that we do not have the right to judge each other. A lot of people who call themselves Christians like to judge other people, even saying who will and who will not go to heaven. Just like the Pharisees, they are hypocrites. In life, we have the right to remove ourselves from people who endanger us. That’s it. We have no right to judge the souls of others. Disagreeing with your daughters service, and therefore rejecting her, is not what Christ taught. Matthew 7: 1-6
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, and the insensitive reaction of your siblings. I’m glad God gave a wonderful solution to the problem. Praise him!
I am a 48 year old man and my body is failing me. I have struggled with my faith most of my life. My legs have recently just stopped working and I’m trying not to be angry and bitter. God has shown me great miracles and blessed me so much more than I have deserved. I appreciate your message so much and ask our father to continue blessing you and helping you with your servitude. All my love to you and yours brother.
God bless you. I understand. I have spinal damage and need to commit my pain into God’s hands on an almost daily basis. If it were not for morphine, I would not be able to walk. Instead of calling out into the darkness about why people were allowed to do this to me, about why the pain is not healed: I found many blessings in calling in the light, thanking God for trusting me with this trial and promising to love Him even if the pain gets worse. A priest told me one time to offer my pain up to God for the salvation of souls and that it should be used for this purpose. I feel better when I am thanking God and blessing Him for the pain. My 🙏 for you that you will be able to withstand everything that the devil throws at you. What satan means for harm, God means for your good. Genesis 50:20
I am praying for you, I know Jesus can still perform miracles even in 2023. I feel like God put it on my heart to tell you this. 💯 I heard "Get Up" not sure what the issues are with your legs but whatever your being told to do to help yourself just do it and try and don't give up !
Brandon, my wife and I enjoy your videos! We both accepted Christ as teenagers and have developed as disciples of Christ. But “The Chosen” and your videos have developed a deeper perspective of our faith! Your video reminds me of a praise song that we both sang in the 1980’s, “Humble thyself in the sight of the LORD….”
I am 74 and slowly becoming a cardiac invalid. My heart rhythm is so irregular that I have no stamina, I have to rest after very little activity. (Go to grocery store, come home and take a nap before I can bring in the groceries.) I pray to God for the ability to accept my suffering and be gracious to people.
@jilly stewart Please continue watching these videos! My prayer is that you will find Jesus and come to love Him the way He loves you. I bless you with the truth! The truth will set you free!
Welcome. Jesus rejoices at your heart's desire. Please stay and hang on to Christ. Be loves us so. Don't forget that. He'll never let up go if you don't leave
By the way when the apostle says *"Humble yourselves before the Lord"*, the word humble literally means to reduce one's own stature, to reduce one's own height. I have often found that the best way to reduce one's own stature is by bending those knees. I hope the one reading this comment is blessed by this insight.
Wow dude. I’m currently working at a Christian rehab and I’m a recovering addict myself. Great teaching watching you gives me more inspiration to teach and the way to do it thank you. The devil has been at me telling me my teaching ain’t good enough and I’m not good enough but I’m to reach addicts and I didn’t stumble upon this video for no reason. Awesome stuff dude may God bless you and your family.
Hey brother keep it up. You are doing an amazing job and I don't even know you. The battle against the flesh and spirit is really tough and very important to overcome. I love Yeshuah and I know where we are prophetically speaking. I've been using fentanyl meth Xanax for years. I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting clean. I don't want to be left behind when the Rapture happens. You are blessed to be sober. And you are being a blessing to others by teaching them tools to stay sober and hopefully The Gospel as well.
If u have iit in your heart to teach then teach. Ask God to take over and He will. Don't listen to the filthy bit of shit that tells u that ur not good enough. A pot has to he cracked in order for God's light to shine out.
Hang in there, brother. You don’t have to have a perfect presentation to make a positive impact on the lives of others. You are doing a very good thing. Over twenty years ago, Jesus Christ set me free; I was demonized, have struggled with some things myself, but I know that demons DO recognize the Lord Yeshua, aka Jesus Christ. When people see what He did for YOU, and hear from your own heart and mouth what changes have taken place because of the Lord Jesus, that is a powerful way to get them to listen to you. This brother did an amazing job of digging deeper into the meaning of this account, and pointed out things i never knew about the Legion reference. I have always felt akin to the demoniac, and how after being set free from demonic oppression, his only desire was to go along, leaving all behind, and just be with Jesus. I always loved this chapter, but i have an even deeper understanding now of the significance of the deed of casting the demons into 2,000 pigs, to be drowned in the sea. Just like Pharoah’s army. I never knew that. So i wish you strength and joy in the Holy Spirit as you continue to minister to other addicts. Addiction does have a spiritual aspect to it. Thank the Lord He set you and i and so many others, FREE. Be blessed and Shalom.
Almost no one preaches Scripture, no one teaches Biblical truths like you. I hear social commentary and discussion from many people, but very few teach Scriptural truth like you. You are a blessing.
Yesterday I was talking with my husband about his very passage and we acknowledged we didn't understand it well and today by "chance" I found your explanation--how beautiful is that!? :)
@@davidharris9077 exactly! And as far as I understand it, there is no word in the Bible that is the equivalent of the word coincidence. I think also that the Hebrew language has no word for “coincidence”!
Thank you brother you just opened my eyes and my mind. Your explanation is so simple and beautiful. Even though I'm not Christian but I had loved Jesus from a very young age. I'm currently reading the bible to understand who Jesus is on own my own but some time I don't know what's going on. But today is the first I saw you at once I know Jesus has sent you to me to hear more about and Jesus and who God.
That's wonderful. If you believe that Jesus is the son of God and that He died on the cross for ALL of our sins then you my friend are a child of God. Your comment reminded me of how I've felt before. Especially being raised in a southern Baptist church where we were taught we would go to hell if we sinned and we have to be and do good to get into heaven. That's so not God's desire for all of us. Anyways God bless you on your journey to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. We will meet in heaven.
I agree some are preachers and that is great. Some are teachers, this man is a gifted teacher. In historical context Jesus's life story is so much more powerful, and relevant to today!!
I'm so glad it's leading you toward scripture. Please don't feel ignorant. We are all just learning (including me 🙂) By the way, I want to send you the gift you won at the live stream. Send me an email with you address and I'll get it to you soon! 😀
You are not unworthy! You are beloved beyond measure, precious sister. Some readings are hard to take because they pick out our error, but that only prompts us to persevere & seek the promised joy and understanding (and wisdom). He sees your heart and hears the unspoken prayers of your heart. Fear not and be thankful. You are loved!
None of us are worthy. Not a one. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through rhe redemption that is in Jesus Christ: 25. Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare hia righteousness for rhe sins that are past, through the forebearance of God; to declare I say at this time his righteousness: Romans 3:23-
There was also a pagan temple right around there and the pigs were to be sacrifices to that pagan god. I don’t remember which one at the moment but when he did that the temple lost all the sacrifices 🙌🏻🔥💕 how amazing is God. When he makes a move, it’s deeper and more profound than any man could fully grasp. Check into this, it’s super interesting !! God bless
@@prudenceseales735 Kevin zadai (he is on TH-cam also, another amazing man of God also) was teaching on it and he is the one that was explaining the depths of this story too. There is so much meat to this if we keep digging. I love the Lord and his beautiful word of God that brings us such life and Liberty! God bless
I said it before and I'll say it again, Brandon has a way of teaching that truly brings the Scriptures alive. His way of teaching, in my estimation, is beyond great....it is splendid and I love it. He holds my attention throughout. Tov tov tov.
I have never heard that explanation of the pigs! It makes so much sense! This message was so revelatory and awesome! Thank you for being a blessed vessel for the TRUTH of GOD!!!
What a great teaching. I do believe in order to fully understand the scriptures we need to know the history and culture of the events spoken of. Very enlightening.
The text says that Jesus and the disciples “needed to go to Garasines” and in the story, he calms the sea. He gets to the other side, delivers the demonized man, and turns right back around and goes back where he came from. He went across the sea JUST to heal and deliver that demonized man.
Keep reading and you will see that - the man who was healed by Christ Jesus testified about Christ in that town and the next time he went to that city they brought all the sick, lame and demon possessed to the Lord and He healed them all! That's why the Lord didn't take him back with them in the boat the first time, He knew the great multitude that would drawn to Him on His next trip to Garasines. Glory to God!
@@morganophelia5963 I don't think he had mercy on the demons, He had a purpose. Why would there be so many pigs? Because the Jews were eating pork! When the people came and saw what Jesus did (that only God could deliver such a man) they recognized their condemnation for eating pork.
@@susanresig8452 how did he not have mercy upon them?? He did not send them to the abyss before their appointed time . So therefore he not only cured the possessed man but had mercy upon the demons as well by not condemning them before their appointed time , he in in fact granted there request , seems mightly merciful to me. Amen.
All the Scriptures in the Holy Bible are absolutely interesting, even demons know who Jesus is, God bless you Brandon and give you more Wisdom and Knowledge to explain the Word of God to save more souls 🕊️✝️🌹
Demons know Jesus better than most humans, they are created spiritual beings, fallen angels... of course they know who Jesus is. They do not ever question his authority!!! We would do well to take a lesson from them.
Really found this inspiring...also realised as you spoke that the woman was bleeding for 12 years...the girl was 12years old..12 is the number of government...the revelation about the Roman boar symbol and Legion and the symbolism of overthrowing the Romans like God in the Exodus... Thank you🙌
They knew what Malachi 4:2 said about the Messiah having healing in His Wings (The Tallit is referred to as Wings. It was to have tassels on the 4 corners with a blue thread called Tzit Tzit).
I just happened upon this video. I almost skipped by it. I’m glad I didn’t. I’ve never seen your videos before. That was a really great video! I wanted to shout hallelujah! And then I was also convicted and humbled. What a fantastic video! Thank you!
I saw Mark 7. I went back to watch Mark 5. Brandon, I saw and understood more than I did the 1st time I saw Mark 5. How Jesus had been worship. I knew the stories, and yet missed how the three how bowed at His feet. They knew His saving grace, He could offer. Oh my...my Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲❤
I love hearing this. I still amazes me how we can read a passage so many times, and there is still something yet to learn. I especially love how God used these two passages together to help you understand each better. Thank you for sharing!
As a Christian I’ve always respected God’s chosen people. Overjoyed I’ve been adopted into the family. All praise and honor due the Lord Savior Messiah Jesus Christ. Hallelujah
I've always been somewhat off put by the concept of a "chosen" people. I do believe He is God, but am not totally comfortable with the anti-Gentile flavor of Scripture. Seems like a loving God should not play favorites with his "children". I would NEVER tell one of my kids I didn't love them as much as another of my kids. But, Christianity is the most sensible religion.
@@jsims1617 John 4:4 But God does not show partiality. He chose Jews to reveal His plan of salvation to the world. God does not show favouritism in that He wants all to be saved....
@@jsims1617 What seems right in the world is not right in God's eyes. The book of acts shows that Jesus rebuked Peter for believing gentiles were "unclean" and Gentiles also recieved the holy spirt along with the jews. (acts 1:17 The day of pentecost the Lord pourd out his spirit (the holy spirit) on ALL mankind. Religious people hardly know the meaning of scripture or the Hebrew parables. Just know that God Loves you and wants you to build a relationship with you. Call upon the Lord. Ask with all your heart for God to be revealed to you.. You will be shown. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the "door" will be opened unto you. Believe and be blessed.
We all have to bend the knee before Jesus because we all are sinners one way or another not only the sick or the possessed. Yes, we all are the same when it comes to forgiveness.
thanks Brandon! I had no idea about the Roman legion boar symbol . We praise You Jesus for coming to save the most wretched of us, the outcast, the non-Jews, the unclean, etc. Thank You Jesus for extending Your love and power far beyond nazareth -- to the ends of the Earth. Thank You for Your mighty POWER!! amen
Beautiful!! Two things that always amaze me about your videos: 1). how you notice details that I would think are small or insignificant and turn them into an exciting and important fact of the Bible!! 2).how you can keep your videos to 22 minutes but each word is filled with content. No word or thought is wasted. I watched it with my Bible , notepad and pen on hand!!! I am doing all your action steps as well! Thank you!! May God continue to Bless you.
There’s also a terrifying lesson we learn from the pig owners, who asked, Jesus, to leave. If you reject, Jesus, he will leave you alone! Great video and God bless
Thank you for your good teaching! I just noticed that the woman was ill for 12 years and the daughter of Jaïrus was 12 years old as well. The name of the occupying roman military force at that time was „Legion X Fretensis“ and its symbol was a male pig, see Wikipedia.
Thank you for these powerful words. I have so many grudes against my niece and my sister because they took my grandchildren away from me. I needed to hear this.
Awesome lesson as usual. Thanks for taking the time to publish these. I know it is a lot of work. Specifically, I had never before made the connection between the demonic man in the Decapolis, the Roman 10th Legion and the Egyptian army. But it makes perfect sense. Thanks for that golden nugget.
@@morganophelia5963 But the swine immediately ran off the cliff into the sea, & died. Where did the demons go then? They begged to be cast into the pigs, but then the pigs died, wouldn't that be almost the same thing?
Hey Brandon this is 70-year-old female baby boomer I've been a Christian since age 6 wishy-washy in and out of church but at age 49 I came back to the Lord seeking his Mercy I definitely understand not being any better than anybody else and having the humble yourself before the Lord I'll tell you what a lot of people think that bowing before the Lord or anybody or humbling yourself before the Queen of England or whatever but humbling yourself to another person there is nothing that makes you more free than to let God take away your pride or give him your pride and humble yourself cuz the Lord is you know the ultimate that we should humble ourselves before but I'll tell you what I've never felt so happy I've never I didn't even really know what love was and now I just truly love everybody you know there's some people you have to kind of stay away from or maybe not be best friends with but you can still love them you can still pray for them somebody was praying for me does that make sense I know it does to you but I want to say something this was such an outstanding lesson I've never heard it preached anywhere near this I love the way you showed the maps and why you think it was the more Northern City which make common sense for the story for the rest of the story and wow knowing that the mass of the monster mascot whatever of the Romans was the boar pig absolutely blew my mind and I'm sure it will everybody that listens to this lesson now I have one request and I know you have a lot of followers and I know you probably do pray for your own liners everyday I'm just guessing that you're pretty good old boy and I mean an honest very good Christian man I'm old so I sometimes call people girls and boys LOL you're truly a man of God and I want to know if you will pray for my friend I have two friends actually they're very important one of them is going through menopause and she is having such a difficult time and personally she's just bleeding all the time enough that it keeps her away from people sometimes and she's a very good Christian lady she's actually my Sunday school teacher and friend very close friend actually should be my sister-in-law at some point my brother lost his wife to Parkinson's and so and he's a pastor so he feels like he needs to have a wife what he's a man anyway meaning most of us need a companion I don't... Anyway she needs prayer and I won't say her name also another friend whose name I will tell you Mary Ann... We've been friends since we were teenagers and through the years she became ill I forget what it's called cuz so many of those medical words are similar but her her back was one of those swaybacks that just progressively got worse and now she's literally like the lady in Luke chapter 12 I believe it is but she's bent in half she looks at the ground as she's walking and she follows the back of your feet so if we're going someplace I always walk in front of her and slowly because she has to use a cane just for balance but she also has problems with her neck even when she sits down she has a hole in her esophagus or something that just happened but she is such a wonderful person and she's an inspiration she gets going all the time she won't miss one church thing even if she has to be late she'll be there and I have health issues and quite a few I'm mentally good but you know I have back issues and I don't want to go into my health issues but enough that it keeps me from doing things sometimes quite a bit really and I ended up at 57 filing for social security disability and I won my case first time out if that's that makes any sense this is a long comment but I'm hoping that you read it and it becomes an inspiration to you to help me pray for my two friends Marianne and the menopausal lady need tremendous powerful prayer I know God can raise my friend Marianne and make her stand up straight I really believe that and I just adore her I mean I look up to her and she's younger than me I look up to her because not because of her knowledge of the Bible although she and I compete when it comes to the trivia that our church plays sometimes but I admire the fact that she just will not miss church part of that is out of fear she told me but whatever her reason is I'm just humbled that she can be in worse condition than myself and not make any kind of excuses to miss church it doesn't matter what the church meeting is about because we have two ladies Bible studies you know regular Sunday twice and Wednesday night we have a game night for everybody and everybody brings food and they play 42 and the other people play different games that don't enjoy 42 and we do that in our fellowship hall and then we have once a month the roadrunners that's for the you know older people mostly retired and we go someplace to eat once a month together and the fellowship is just truly incredible and we have a church of about 100 and they are faithful good tithers everything we have in a church is paid for we owe nobody anything and with the other money we support 25 missionaries around the world and my church where my brother is my pastor we also help every person in the church in one way or another of course usually with money they pay the rent or they need new tires on their vehicle whatever we can't do everything for everybody but my brother makes those decisions and the Bible teaches us that a man who gives a lot will never lack and I think that's the whole thing to our church as well to my brother's own investments because most of his life he worked secular jobs to support his family and the church now he does not have to work but that doesn't mean he's not out every single day serving the lord he just doesn't have to put a roof on I used to do roofing used to buy and sell cars he'd do anything to support his family and the church until the church was able to support himself but I'm just saying he used his money to invest his own money to invest and now he's very comfortable and he's very generous I mean I'm never even met a person that's as generous as he is except him he is exceptional not because he's my brother but because he is a true servant of God it's a I mean he's really kind gentle I live with him now and since his wife passed away the respect I get from him as a woman that I've never received before it really blows my mind I mean if I have a can of Coke and I said it on the table he'll open it for me I don't even ask him he just opens it for me and I'm thinking I can do that no he's a gentleman and he and he laughs a lot and he smiles a lot and he tells jokes and he's such a positive person but not like Joel Osteen which I don't know personally but I'm just saying he's such a wonderful pastor and I am just trying to figure out why we can't heal people yo some people get well of course anyway this is way too long I don't even know if it'll print just wanted to say something to you that this is an awesome channel I did subscribe and like God bless you also
Hi I'm Miguel from Ohio , I believe the 3rd time I watch your You Tube Videos. But this one hit me with Wisdom & Understanding , Thanks to your kindness, clear interpretation and I do like your style simple and only talking from sacred scriptures. I see how joyful,peaceful you explain to us that transmit the same joy and peace to us in this case to me. In life we must be grateful every single day and in the Name of Jesus my Blessings to you & Families for your mission serving others in this assignment. 🙌🙏
The Jews may have believed the Messiah was only coming for them, but Isaiah and King David made it quite obvious that the Christ would save the gentiles as well.
Brandon don't ever stop teaching the Bible. I will be your most attentive and eager to learn more pupil. I wish l had another 12hours to my day just to listen to and work with you! Thank you for all your insights.
I have been a Christian for decades. I have never heard teaching like this on this passage about the demoniac & the pigs. This is very illuminating how it relates to the exodus and that it Jesus IS God. Wow. Thank you for this amazing teaching.
This was a great analysis of Mark. Your a pretty good communicator at presenting the gospel of a, “Holy Christ,” smiled all the way through it. Please continue to, “Run the Race that has been set before you and finish well.” Aloha. 🌺🌸🌴❤️🇺🇸
God's Word is alive. I've read this scripture many times. But through you He has opened my eyes to see things I'd missed before. Thank you, Brandon. Blessings to you.
Amen!! Love the Lord. Jesus says "if you love me keep my commandments" this is true love, and it includes 4 commandments that deal with our relationship with God and 6 commandments that deal with loving our neighbor.
I come across your channel while surfing you tube aimlessly.I believe Jesus did this for me. You see,I am a devout Catholic but not at all well versed with the Bible.Your vlogs are all teachable moments for me,personally. I am binging all your vlog offerings and it is so incredible because I am learning so much. Thank you so,so very much. I am so enriched by your incredible knowledge.I pray that Our Lord bless you and your family.Please continue to do what you are doing.
There's a lot of depth to the account of the woman with the issue of blood. Being "unclean", she was suffering: - Physically -Financially (she spent all she had on doctors) - Spiritually (She was denied entry to worship and learn in the temple) Socially (She was an outcast with regard to her own family and her community) - Psychologically ( She was afflicted for 12 years and rather than getting better, grew worse, which has a profound psychologist effect.) Essentially, I believe Jesus brought all these broken parts of her life together in one single act. Interestingly, Jairus may have been the very person who kept her out of the synogoge and enforced the cleanliness laws. Many thanks for sharing your observations and for bringing these accounts alive in such a dynamic way Gods blessing on you, brother.👍
ALWAYS thankful 🙏🏼 for God to use His servants here below. I believe in Jesus or Yeshua the Christ. He fought an entire system. He reigns victorious because He is God on earth 🌎. No one was there at the beginning of time to say that Jesus was not there. The Bible says Let US male man in OUR image. Love was when God became a man. God bless you my brother Brandon. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏼
What I Love and have come to learn from scripture is that there is always multiple layers to GOD'S working.. it is mind blowing..GODS wisdom is awesome...
The knowledge and wisdom of God is progressive, just as history is, and you see the progression in His Word. You can reconcile many more so called, "contradictions" in the gospels by understanding dispensations. If you haven't done so already, I'd really like to see a video from you on dispensationalism.
This was an awesome revelation!!! Thank you God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all that you are and share with us! "You can't look down on someone, when you are at the feet of Jesus!" Love this line, such wonderful truth!
This reminds me of a time where I got into an argument with a close friend after he said something like "I'm not a Christian, I'm Buddhist" that's when I said it doesn't matter we all need to be saved no matter what you consider yourself
Brilliant, and yet just one of the “mysteries” of the Bible, all of which can be seen with careful study & examination of His word. We must seek Him & yearn with all our heart to be with Him in that secret place. He saves & loves you so much!
Blows my mind because I was just listening to mark and this part of the scripture. I asked god to give me something else to listen to while I cleaned. But something related to jesus still. Then your chosen video showed up. Then this was the next video of yours. He even answers the little prayers and I forgot to ask in jesus name for it too. He still directed me to you. 🙏❤️
❤ I appreciate everything you are doing to help me truly appreciate and hope to understand God's 🙏 word !!! I found your channel while watching the Chosen for the first time. Then I watched your teachings on the meaning of so many things that in my 58 years on 🌎 Earth so far have sadly escaped my understanding of the importance and history of Everything in the Bible. But, honestly, now I'm so excited to 😅 understand more about Jesus and the Disciples, plus All the Prophets !🙄❤️ I'm happily overwhelmed with new knowledge and excited to learn more and more about our God and his wonderful son. I have been in and out of churches my whole life and even taught children (what a blessing !!!). But now I have come full circle and I feel like one of those children that Jesus was teaching (in the show). Thank you for taking care to help others understand our Lord. ❤
I praise God for your teaching. This is a keeper to remind me that I can't look down on others while laying at the feet of JESUS ✝️🙏❤. After watching this I decided to watch the movie, Gladiator, to see and understand legions. What Jesus could do is beyond words. Thank you.
I was watching other videos about history, and stories from Mr. Ballen. I was getting ready to click on another video, and my thumb twitched, and "accidentally" clicked on yours. I am a Christian, but not a very strong one. I was raised in church, but got saved only 3 years ago. I was strong in studying the Bible at first, and I used to pray everyday, but I've really benn slacking nowadays. There are no coincidences. God had me click on this video, and I'm so glad that he did! God Bless! 🙏❤🙏
The real message is that faith is what heals and the lack thereof destroys, those who lack faithfulness lack the ability to endure... practice faithfulness to the truth which comes from God. ...it's not about being chosen but about choosing...
Brandon, you asked if anyone has ever said, "you don't count". My answer would be,...all the time. Thanks to Jesus, I am sooo counted! He loves me!!! Thank you for this information Brandon! You are truly a blessing!
I am a fervent Catholic Christian. I find your teaching is very informative and inspirational. May God bless your work and all Those dear to you! To God be the glory!
I read your cover statement as I listened to your presentation. Seeking to give insight and clarify the word of God is a true calling, and you should be commended in front of men for this. This earth can be confusing, deceitful, and self serving. I truly don’t want to miss anything I can gain from the word of God.
I don't have anyone around me to read Mark with, but I will read it with a different perspective now, the way you explained it was awesome thank you. I've read Mark but didn't really see how powerful it was til now. May God bless you. 🙏🏻🤗 Lord Jesus Christ will have All the Glory 🤗🙏🏻
Not to short change the second half of your lesson. I agree with "Step One" who said that your statement "You can't lay at the feet of Yeshua and look down on someone" is probably one of the most powerful statements I heard. Thank you, Brandon.
May the operational word for 2023 is- FRESH eyes and HUMILITY. Humility= being teachable, listening, obedience, bowing at the feet of Jesus,as if when you are already on the floor( by your own will) there is no way you will fall. Humility is the fragrance of the Spirit that is pleasing to God and notice and appreciated even by the world.God bless everyone.
WOW THIS HIT ME!!! WHAT A REVELATION my brother Brandon! You have never failed to teach me something new!! May God Bless you for taking the time to make these videos!! Sending much love you prayer to you and yours 🙏❣
I don't look down on others, I see it as condemnation-and by doing so I condem myself. Before I found Jesus, of course I did-self exaltation fuels pride.
This was the first video I have ever seen of yours. I’m just seeing this now, 45 years in the making. Right on time. I love the way you break things down. You have earned yourself a new sub. Keep preaching and teaching brother. Be blessed
"If you love me, keep my commandments. " John 14:15 "Yes indeed! I tell you that whoever trusts in me will also do the works I do! John 14:12 Yeshua didn't just walk the Torah perfectly, he is the Torah! John 1:1-14
Thank you I needed to humble myself before the feet of Jesus and also ask forgiveness from others. I see now how I looked down on other people. I don't want to do that anymore. Thank you Yeshua
Frankly Brandon I am so excited to have been listening to you. The more I listen to you the more I learn. Even though I have done Bible study for many years, you bring whole new look and understanding to it. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOUR TEACHINGS! Love your enthusiasm! I will be sharing it with others! So excited! 👏👏👏

Anytime you closely look at Jesus the more you love Him
My oldest daughter, Julieanne, died in active military duty on 7/17/2002, and was buried next to my parents.Nine years ago, my three siblings, decided she was not worthy to rest next to them, because they did not approve of her service. They took me to court, and I was required to move her. However, God saw the situation differently, and she was moved to Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. Praise God! 🙏
God bless you!
WOW! This is such a great story of God’s love! Thank you for sharing!!!❤
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter! Many people do not understand that we do not have the right to judge each other.
A lot of people who call themselves Christians like to judge other people, even saying who will and who will not go to heaven. Just like the Pharisees, they are hypocrites.
In life, we have the right to remove ourselves from people who endanger us. That’s it. We have no right to judge the souls of others. Disagreeing with your daughters service, and therefore rejecting her, is not what Christ taught. Matthew 7: 1-6
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, and the insensitive reaction of your siblings. I’m glad God gave a wonderful solution to the problem. Praise him!
❤ love this story
I am a 48 year old man and my body is failing me. I have struggled with my faith most of my life. My legs have recently just stopped working and I’m trying not to be angry and bitter. God has shown me great miracles and blessed me so much more than I have deserved. I appreciate your message so much and ask our father to continue blessing you and helping you with your servitude. All my love to you and yours brother.
God bless you. I understand. I have spinal damage and need to commit my pain into God’s hands on an almost daily basis. If it were not for morphine, I would not be able to walk. Instead of calling out into the darkness about why people were allowed to do this to me, about why the pain is not healed: I found many blessings in calling in the light, thanking God for trusting me with this trial and promising to love Him even if the pain gets worse. A priest told me one time to offer my pain up to God for the salvation of souls and that it should be used for this purpose. I feel better when I am thanking God and blessing Him for the pain. My 🙏 for you that you will be able to withstand everything that the devil throws at you. What satan means for harm, God means for your good. Genesis 50:20
I am praying for you, I know Jesus can still perform miracles even in 2023. I feel like God put it on my heart to tell you this. 💯 I heard "Get Up" not sure what the issues are with your legs but whatever your being told to do to help yourself just do it and try and don't give up !
Blessed be the lord that a blessing he has given and will give again May you Be blessed with the strength and love of God Amen Brother
Brandon, my wife and I enjoy your videos! We both accepted Christ as teenagers and have developed as disciples of Christ. But “The Chosen” and your videos have developed a deeper perspective of our faith! Your video reminds me of a praise song that we both sang in the 1980’s, “Humble thyself in the sight of the LORD….”

I am 74 and slowly becoming a cardiac invalid. My heart rhythm is so irregular that I have no stamina, I have to rest after very little activity. (Go to grocery store, come home and take a nap before I can bring in the groceries.) I pray to God for the ability to accept my suffering and be gracious to people.
"You can't look down on someone when you're lying at the feet of Jesus!" This really struck me and I'll remember it always. Great lesson.
Your right that goes straight to the heart/mind What a blessing this is
There are no coincidences only Godincidences
Yes Br. Me too.
Amen.
Amen powerful statement and true.
Just happened along this station, not Christian, but humbly ask I can stay, watch, and learn.
@jilly stewart Please continue watching these videos! My prayer is that you will find Jesus and come to love Him the way He loves you. I bless you with the truth! The truth will set you free!
@@hannetjiedebeer9480 😃
Welcome. Jesus rejoices at your heart's desire. Please stay and hang on to Christ. Be loves us so. Don't forget that. He'll never let up go if you don't leave
Stay, listen and learn!
Jesus left us the Holy Spirit. He will speak to you.
He spoke to me and my life has forever changed.
Please do, and feel God's loving welcome!
"You can't lay at the feet of Jesus and look down on someoone." Quite possibly the most significant thing of all you spoke.
By the way when the apostle says *"Humble yourselves before the Lord"*, the word humble literally means to reduce one's own stature, to reduce one's own height. I have often found that the best way to reduce one's own stature is by bending those knees. I hope the one reading this comment is blessed by this insight.
Thanks! it just answered a question lingering in my heart.
Thank you, I ALLways asked my self if I truly understand how to be truly humble
Thanks 😊 very much.
Advanced believers even bend the knees of their heart - after the circumcision of the heart.

Wow dude. I’m currently working at a Christian rehab and I’m a recovering addict myself. Great teaching watching you gives me more inspiration to teach and the way to do it thank you. The devil has been at me telling me my teaching ain’t good enough and I’m not good enough but I’m to reach addicts and I didn’t stumble upon this video for no reason. Awesome stuff dude may God bless you and your family.
Hey brother keep it up. You are doing an amazing job and I don't even know you. The battle against the flesh and spirit is really tough and very important to overcome. I love Yeshuah and I know where we are prophetically speaking. I've been using fentanyl meth Xanax for years. I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting clean. I don't want to be left behind when the Rapture happens. You are blessed to be sober. And you are being a blessing to others by teaching them tools to stay sober and hopefully The Gospel as well.
If u have iit in your heart to teach then teach. Ask God to take over and He will. Don't listen to the filthy bit of shit that tells u that ur not good enough. A pot has to he cracked in order for God's light to shine out.
Hang in there, brother. You don’t have to have a perfect presentation to make a positive impact on the lives of others. You are doing a very good thing. Over twenty years ago, Jesus Christ set me free; I was demonized, have struggled with some things myself, but I know that demons DO recognize the Lord Yeshua, aka Jesus Christ. When people see what He did for YOU, and hear from your own heart and mouth what changes have taken place because of the Lord Jesus, that is a powerful way to get them to listen to you. This brother did an amazing job of digging deeper into the meaning of this account, and pointed out things i never knew about the Legion reference. I have always felt akin to the demoniac, and how after being set free from demonic oppression, his only desire was to go along, leaving all behind, and just be with Jesus. I always loved this chapter, but i have an even deeper understanding now of the significance of the deed of casting the demons into 2,000 pigs, to be drowned in the sea. Just like Pharoah’s army. I never knew that. So i wish you strength and joy in the Holy Spirit as you continue to minister to other addicts. Addiction does have a spiritual aspect to it. Thank the Lord He set you and i and so many others, FREE. Be blessed and Shalom.
Thank you everyone
When the enemy gets going on all his crap thoughts just say "I doubt that". All we have to do is RESIST him .
Almost no one preaches Scripture, no one teaches Biblical truths like you. I hear social commentary and discussion from many people, but very few teach Scriptural truth like you. You are a blessing.
You can't look down on someone, when you're laying at the feet of Jesus! AMEN to that!
Yesterday I was talking with my husband about his very passage and we acknowledged we didn't understand it well and today by "chance" I found your explanation--how beautiful is that!? :)
That’s awesome! I love the way the Holy Spirit works!
I call that a Christian Coincidence. A Christian's life is full of "Coincidences"
@@davidharris9077 exactly!
And as far as I understand it, there is no word in the Bible that is the equivalent of the word coincidence. I think also that the Hebrew language has no word for “coincidence”!
@@davidharris9077 Or 'maybe' a "Godincedent"?😃
That's no chance that's the Holy Spirit guiding
Thank you brother you just opened my eyes and my mind. Your explanation is so simple and beautiful. Even though I'm not Christian but I had loved Jesus from a very young age. I'm currently reading the bible to understand who Jesus is on own my own but some time I don't know what's going on. But today is the first I saw you at once I know Jesus has sent you to me to hear more about and Jesus and who God.
That's wonderful. If you believe that Jesus is the son of God and that He died on the cross for ALL of our sins then you my friend are a child of God. Your comment reminded me of how I've felt before. Especially being raised in a southern Baptist church where we were taught we would go to hell if we sinned and we have to be and do good to get into heaven. That's so not God's desire for all of us. Anyways God bless you on your journey to learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. We will meet in heaven.
I pray for the 146 that thumbed this down.
It is amazing how much richer scripture is when you have the historical context!
Only the historical context here is not 100% accurate.
@@VaxtorT why?
I agree some are preachers and that is great. Some are teachers, this man is a gifted teacher. In historical context Jesus's life story is so much more powerful, and relevant to today!!
Boy howdy! And HALLELUYAH
@@PabloEmanuel96 Because it's BULLSHIT. It didn't happen.
So powerful! “You can’t look down on someone when you are lying at the feet of Jesus” Lord, forgive me. Please help me humble myself
Amazing insights to Jesus. Brandon, I am poor in money, and rich in having heard you explain truth of Father Gods Word. Blessings always
Jesus is alive and active in the midst of this woke generation 🙏
How refreshing ❤
You can’t look down on someone when your laying at the feet of Jesus. I really like that.
Great teaching & powerful quote,
“You can’t look down in someone when your laying at the feet of Jesus”
You are helping me to be able to WANT to read my Bible!!! I feel so unworthy and ignorant. Thank you!!!
I'm so glad it's leading you toward scripture. Please don't feel ignorant. We are all just learning (including me 🙂)
By the way, I want to send you the gift you won at the live stream. Send me an email with you address and I'll get it to you soon! 😀
You are not unworthy! You are beloved beyond measure, precious sister. Some readings are hard to take because they pick out our error, but that only prompts us to persevere & seek the promised joy and understanding (and wisdom).

There was also a pagan temple right around there and the pigs were to be sacrifices to that pagan god. I don’t remember which one at the moment but when he did that the temple lost all the sacrifices 🙌🏻🔥💕 how amazing is God. When he makes a move, it’s deeper and more profound than any man could fully grasp. Check into this, it’s super interesting !! God bless
Wow!! Very cool and interesting…
That's amazing! Thanks for that! Where do you go to find such information?
@@prudenceseales735 Kevin zadai (he is on TH-cam also, another amazing man of God also) was teaching on it and he is the one that was explaining the depths of this story too. There is so much meat to this if we keep digging. I love the Lord and his beautiful word of God that brings us such life and Liberty! God bless
@@mfv7373 Thanks for that! The Lord bless you in your desire to know Him and the power of His resurrection and in the fellowship of His sufferings!
Thank you for sharing this. Makes me want to know more. Encouraged to research.
I said it before and I'll say it again, Brandon has a way of teaching that truly brings the Scriptures alive. His way of teaching, in my estimation, is beyond great....it is splendid and I love it. He holds my attention throughout. Tov tov tov.
“Jesus is the one who can heal 12 years of bleeding” 💔 WOW
I am a searcher of scripture & know much which u have shared, but however, u have shown me even more!! TY. I LOVE the word of GOD!!
Are you Christian?
I have never heard that explanation of the pigs! It makes so much sense! This message was so revelatory and awesome! Thank you for being a blessed vessel for the TRUTH of GOD!!!
What a great teaching. I do believe in order to fully understand the scriptures we need to know the history and culture of the events spoken of. Very enlightening.
He is doing that now. he is helping me now. I see it. Trying to recieve his blessings. Hang with me. I working on it. In Jesus name amen.
The text says that Jesus and the disciples “needed to go to Garasines” and in the story, he calms the sea. He gets to the other side, delivers the demonized man, and turns right back around and goes back where he came from.
He went across the sea JUST to heal and deliver that demonized man.
He didn't go to the "Gerasenes." He went to get some KEROSENE. It was a cold day.
Keep reading and you will see that - the man who was healed by Christ Jesus testified about Christ in that town and the next time he went to that city they brought all the sick, lame and demon possessed to the Lord and He healed them all! That's why the Lord didn't take him back with them in the boat the first time, He knew the great multitude that would drawn to Him on His next trip to Garasines. Glory to God!
He also had mercy upon the demons by not sending them to the abyss before their appointed time.
@@morganophelia5963 I don't think he had mercy on the demons, He had a purpose. Why would there be so many pigs? Because the Jews were eating pork! When the people came and saw what Jesus did (that only God could deliver such a man) they recognized their condemnation for eating pork.
@@susanresig8452 how did he not have mercy upon them?? He did not send them to the abyss before their appointed time . So therefore he not only cured the possessed man but had mercy upon the demons as well by not condemning them before their appointed time , he in in fact granted there request , seems mightly merciful to me. Amen.
That's exactly why I'm blessed
Because I'm not worthy
All the Scriptures in the Holy Bible are absolutely interesting, even demons know who Jesus is, God bless you Brandon and give you more Wisdom and Knowledge to explain the Word of God to save more souls 🕊️✝️🌹
Demons know Jesus better than most humans, they are created spiritual beings, fallen angels... of course they know who Jesus is. They do not ever question his authority!!! We would do well to take a lesson from them.
@@lb7068 No child of God listens to demons or devil. That’s how Eve was deceived. Depart from evil.
Really found this inspiring...also realised as you spoke that the woman was bleeding for 12 years...the girl was 12years old..12 is the number of government...the revelation about the Roman boar symbol and Legion and the symbolism of overthrowing the Romans like God in the Exodus... Thank you🙌
They knew what Malachi 4:2 said about the Messiah having healing in His Wings (The Tallit is referred to as Wings. It was to have tassels on the 4 corners with a blue thread called Tzit Tzit).
JESUS wisdom has no end !! The arrogant will never know JESUS, THE FRIST CREATION -THE WISDOM OF GOD !!
I just happened upon this video. I almost skipped by it. I’m glad I didn’t. I’ve never seen your videos before.
That was a really great video! I wanted to shout hallelujah! And then I was also convicted and humbled. What a fantastic video! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you decided to watch :-)
Same here. Certainly glad I watched and now I'm a new subscriber. 🙏🙏
I saw Mark 7. I went back to watch Mark 5. Brandon, I saw and understood more than I did the 1st time I saw Mark 5. How Jesus had been worship. I knew the stories, and yet missed how the three how bowed at His feet. They knew His saving grace, He could offer. Oh my...my Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲❤
I love hearing this. I still amazes me how we can read a passage so many times, and there is still something yet to learn. I especially love how God used these two passages together to help you understand each better. Thank you for sharing!
As a Christian I’ve always respected God’s chosen people. Overjoyed I’ve been adopted into the family. All praise and honor due the Lord Savior Messiah Jesus Christ. Hallelujah
I've always been somewhat off put by the concept of a "chosen" people. I do believe He is God, but am not totally comfortable with the anti-Gentile flavor of Scripture. Seems like a loving God should not play favorites with his "children". I would NEVER tell one of my kids I didn't love them as much as another of my kids. But, Christianity is the most sensible religion.
@@jsims1617 John 4:4 But God does not show partiality. He chose Jews to reveal His plan of salvation to the world. God does not show favouritism in that He wants all to be saved....
@@jsims1617 What seems right in the world is not right in God's eyes. The book of acts shows that Jesus rebuked Peter for believing gentiles were "unclean" and Gentiles also recieved the holy spirt along with the jews. (acts 1:17 The day of pentecost the Lord pourd out his spirit (the holy spirit) on ALL mankind. Religious people hardly know the meaning of scripture or the Hebrew parables. Just know that God Loves you and wants you to build a relationship with you. Call upon the Lord. Ask with all your heart for God to be revealed to you.. You will be shown. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the "door" will be opened unto you. Believe and be blessed.
@@brandenvandevelde8979 I know. It's just a bit disappointing to see that situation in Scripture. Thank you for the post, it is appreciated.
@@mauricegibney8449 Yes, true. But kind of sad it needs to be said. Thanks for the post, I do appreciate it.
We all have to bend the knee before Jesus because we all are sinners one way or another not only the sick or the possessed. Yes, we all are the same when it comes to forgiveness.
Seek what only Jesus can give. Please, Lord, transform my life.
thanks Brandon! I had no idea about the Roman legion boar symbol .
We praise You Jesus for coming to save the most wretched of us, the outcast, the non-Jews, the unclean, etc. Thank You Jesus for extending Your love and power far beyond nazareth -- to the ends of the Earth. Thank You for Your mighty POWER!! amen
Beautiful!! Two things that always amaze me about your videos: 1). how you notice details that I would think are small or insignificant and turn them into an exciting and important fact of the Bible!! 2).how you can keep your videos to 22 minutes but each word is filled with content. No word or thought is wasted. I watched it with my Bible , notepad and pen on hand!!! I am doing all your action steps as well! Thank you!! May God continue to Bless you.
I love that! I pray that God will bless you as you continue to study this chapter and go through the action steps!
Repeat visitor❤. It's different watching the video with pictures...not just headphones while making food.
Thanks Mr. Brandon.
You can't look down on anyone when you are lying at the feet of Jesus. You can't judge from on high when you are lying low.
That hit really home!
Jesus always delivers.
I really needed this message!
May our King of Kings bless you and al here.
There’s also a terrifying lesson we learn from the pig owners, who asked, Jesus, to leave. If you reject, Jesus, he will leave you alone! Great video and God bless
Once again, you bringh depth to the bible verses with so much knoeledge and detail focus. Amazing! God bless you! ❤
ONLY JESUS CAN DO IT ALL!! ONLY JESUS IS ALL I NEED !!!!
THANK YOU MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS FOR LOVING ME AND SAVING ME ❤️ PRAISE BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY 🙏
Watching from Johannesburg, South Africa - thank you Brandon you've illuminated these scriptures for us. I felt myself draw nearer to Christ.
Same with me, sister. Greetings!
Gods not for some. He is for all. God bless all my brothers and sisters across the globe.
Thank you for your good teaching! I just noticed that the woman was ill for 12 years and the daughter of Jaïrus was 12 years old as well. The name of the occupying roman military force at that time was „Legion X Fretensis“ and its symbol was a male pig, see Wikipedia.
Thank you for these powerful words. I have so many grudes against my niece and my sister because they took my grandchildren away from me. I needed to hear this.
Awesome lesson as usual. Thanks for taking the time to publish these. I know it is a lot of work. Specifically, I had never before made the connection between the demonic man in the Decapolis, the Roman 10th Legion and the Egyptian army. But it makes perfect sense. Thanks for that golden nugget.
He also had mercy upon the demons by not sending them to the abyss before their time. ♥️🙏 Amen.
@@morganophelia5963 But the swine immediately ran off the cliff into the sea, & died. Where did the demons go then? They begged to be cast into the pigs, but then the pigs died, wouldn't that be almost the same thing?
@@bloodybones63 out of the pigs to roam
Great speaker
We are all the same at the foot of the cross worshipping Him!
Hi Yvonne how are you doing
Hey Brandon this is 70-year-old female baby boomer I've been a Christian since age 6 wishy-washy in and out of church but at age 49 I came back to the Lord seeking his Mercy I definitely understand not being any better than anybody else and having the humble yourself before the Lord I'll tell you what a lot of people think that bowing before the Lord or anybody or humbling yourself before the Queen of England or whatever but humbling yourself to another person there is nothing that makes you more free than to let God take away your pride or give him your pride and humble yourself cuz the Lord is you know the ultimate that we should humble ourselves before but I'll tell you what I've never felt so happy I've never I didn't even really know what love was and now I just truly love everybody you know there's some people you have to kind of stay away from or maybe not be best friends with but you can still love them you can still pray for them somebody was praying for me does that make sense I know it does to you but I want to say something this was such an outstanding lesson I've never heard it preached anywhere near this I love the way you showed the maps and why you think it was the more Northern City which make common sense for the story for the rest of the story and wow knowing that the mass of the monster mascot whatever of the Romans was the boar pig absolutely blew my mind and I'm sure it will everybody that listens to this lesson now I have one request and I know you have a lot of followers and I know you probably do pray for your own liners everyday I'm just guessing that you're pretty good old boy and I mean an honest very good Christian man I'm old so I sometimes call people girls and boys LOL you're truly a man of God and I want to know if you will pray for my friend I have two friends actually they're very important one of them is going through menopause and she is having such a difficult time and personally she's just bleeding all the time enough that it keeps her away from people sometimes and she's a very good Christian lady she's actually my Sunday school teacher and friend very close friend actually should be my sister-in-law at some point my brother lost his wife to Parkinson's and so and he's a pastor so he feels like he needs to have a wife what he's a man anyway meaning most of us need a companion I don't... Anyway she needs prayer and I won't say her name also another friend whose name I will tell you Mary Ann... We've been friends since we were teenagers and through the years she became ill I forget what it's called cuz so many of those medical words are similar but her her back was one of those swaybacks that just progressively got worse and now she's literally like the lady in Luke chapter 12 I believe it is but she's bent in half she looks at the ground as she's walking and she follows the back of your feet so if we're going someplace I always walk in front of her and slowly because she has to use a cane just for balance but she also has problems with her neck even when she sits down she has a hole in her esophagus or something that just happened but she is such a wonderful person and she's an inspiration she gets going all the time she won't miss one church thing even if she has to be late she'll be there and I have health issues and quite a few I'm mentally good but you know I have back issues and I don't want to go into my health issues but enough that it keeps me from doing things sometimes quite a bit really and I ended up at 57 filing for social security disability and I won my case first time out if that's that makes any sense this is a long comment but I'm hoping that you read it and it becomes an inspiration to you to help me pray for my two friends Marianne and the menopausal lady need tremendous powerful prayer I know God can raise my friend Marianne and make her stand up straight I really believe that and I just adore her I mean I look up to her and she's younger than me I look up to her because not because of her knowledge of the Bible although she and I compete when it comes to the trivia that our church plays sometimes but I admire the fact that she just will not miss church part of that is out of fear she told me but whatever her reason is I'm just humbled that she can be in worse condition than myself and not make any kind of excuses to miss church it doesn't matter what the church meeting is about because we have two ladies Bible studies you know regular Sunday twice and Wednesday night we have a game night for everybody and everybody brings food and they play 42 and the other people play different games that don't enjoy 42 and we do that in our fellowship hall and then we have once a month the roadrunners that's for the you know older people mostly retired and we go someplace to eat once a month together and the fellowship is just truly incredible and we have a church of about 100 and they are faithful good tithers everything we have in a church is paid for we owe nobody anything and with the other money we support 25 missionaries around the world and my church where my brother is my pastor we also help every person in the church in one way or another of course usually with money they pay the rent or they need new tires on their vehicle whatever we can't do everything for everybody but my brother makes those decisions and the Bible teaches us that a man who gives a lot will never lack and I think that's the whole thing to our church as well to my brother's own investments because most of his life he worked secular jobs to support his family and the church now he does not have to work but that doesn't mean he's not out every single day serving the lord he just doesn't have to put a roof on I used to do roofing used to buy and sell cars he'd do anything to support his family and the church until the church was able to support himself but I'm just saying he used his money to invest his own money to invest and now he's very comfortable and he's very generous I mean I'm never even met a person that's as generous as he is except him he is exceptional not because he's my brother but because he is a true servant of God it's a I mean he's really kind gentle I live with him now and since his wife passed away the respect I get from him as a woman that I've never received before it really blows my mind I mean if I have a can of Coke and I said it on the table he'll open it for me I don't even ask him he just opens it for me and I'm thinking I can do that no he's a gentleman and he and he laughs a lot and he smiles a lot and he tells jokes and he's such a positive person but not like Joel Osteen which I don't know personally but I'm just saying he's such a wonderful pastor and I am just trying to figure out why we can't heal people yo some people get well of course anyway this is way too long I don't even know if it'll print just wanted to say something to you that this is an awesome channel I did subscribe and like God bless you also
Karen King. You can lay your hands on friends back and speak healing to it.
Hi I'm Miguel from Ohio , I believe the 3rd time I watch your You Tube Videos. But this one hit me with Wisdom & Understanding , Thanks to your kindness, clear interpretation and I do like your style simple and only talking from sacred scriptures. I see how joyful,peaceful you explain to us that transmit the same joy and peace to us in this case to me. In life we must be grateful every single day and in the Name of Jesus my Blessings to you & Families for your mission serving others in this assignment. 🙌🙏
I am sitting here wondering why I’ve never heard this explanation? I am grateful I did hear it and give God the glory. I’ll be sharing this!!
The Jews may have believed the Messiah was only coming for them, but Isaiah and King David made it quite obvious that the Christ would save the gentiles as well.
Brandon don't ever stop teaching the Bible. I will be your most attentive and eager to learn more pupil. I wish l had another 12hours to my day just to listen to and work with you! Thank you for all your insights.
Thank you so much, Lorraine!
LET'S GO BRANDON!!!!!
The lord's name is 'I Am Who I Am, I Will Be Who I Will Be'. Mentioned in Exodus and Numbers. You can't miss it. That's very profound.
I have been a Christian for decades. I have never heard teaching like this on this passage about the demoniac & the pigs. This is very illuminating how it relates to the exodus and that it Jesus IS God. Wow. Thank you for this amazing teaching.
This was a great analysis of Mark. Your a pretty good communicator at presenting the gospel of a, “Holy Christ,” smiled all the way through it. Please continue to, “Run the Race that has been set before you and finish well.” Aloha. 🌺🌸🌴❤️🇺🇸
Yes they were all the same in Jesus’ eyes and He was the same in their eyes! The two way relational connection… ✝️
God's Word is alive. I've read this scripture many times. But through you He has opened my eyes to see things I'd missed before. Thank you, Brandon. Blessings to you.
Amen! Thank you Brandon🙏✝️
I just studied Mark 4 through 6 this morning. This was the cherry on top. I subbed.
Amen!! Love the Lord. Jesus says "if you love me keep my commandments" this is true love, and it includes 4 commandments that deal with our relationship with God and 6 commandments that deal with loving our neighbor.
I come across your channel while surfing you tube aimlessly.I believe Jesus did this for me. You see,I am a devout Catholic but not at all well versed with the Bible.Your vlogs are all teachable moments for me,personally. I am binging all your vlog offerings and it is so incredible because I am learning so much. Thank you so,so very much. I am so enriched by your incredible knowledge.I pray that Our Lord bless you and your family.Please continue to do what you are doing.
That's wonderful! I'm so glad God is using them to help you grow!
There's a lot of depth to the account of the woman with the issue of blood. Being "unclean", she was suffering:
- Physically
-Financially (she spent all she had on doctors)
- Spiritually (She was denied entry to worship and learn in the temple)
Socially (She was an outcast with regard to her own family and her community)
- Psychologically ( She was afflicted for 12 years and rather than getting better, grew worse, which has a profound psychologist effect.)
Essentially, I believe Jesus brought all these broken parts of her life together in one single act. Interestingly, Jairus may have been the very person who kept her out of the synogoge and enforced the cleanliness laws.
Many thanks for sharing your observations and for bringing these accounts alive in such a dynamic way Gods blessing on you, brother.👍
I was in tears 😭😭😭😭 literally I was not humble enough!!
ALWAYS thankful 🙏🏼 for God to use His servants here below. I believe in Jesus or Yeshua the Christ. He fought an entire system. He reigns victorious because He is God on earth 🌎. No one was there at the beginning of time to say that Jesus was not there. The Bible says Let US male man in OUR image. Love was when God became a man.
God bless you my brother Brandon. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏼
What I Love and have come to learn from scripture is that there is always multiple layers to GOD'S working.. it is mind blowing..GODS wisdom is awesome...
The knowledge and wisdom of God is progressive, just as history is, and you see the progression in His Word. You can reconcile many more so called, "contradictions" in the gospels by understanding dispensations. If you haven't done so already, I'd really like to see a video from you on dispensationalism.
Hi szusza how are you doing
This was an awesome revelation!!! Thank you God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all that you are and share with us! "You can't look down on someone, when you are at the feet of Jesus!" Love this line, such wonderful truth!
This reminds me of a time where I got into an argument with a close friend after he said something like "I'm not a Christian, I'm Buddhist" that's when I said it doesn't matter we all need to be saved no matter what you consider yourself
Brilliant, and yet just one of the “mysteries” of the Bible, all of which can be seen with careful study & examination of His word. We must seek Him & yearn with all our heart to be with Him in that secret place. He saves & loves you so much!
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all things will be added unto you. In Jesus's name , Amen.
Blows my mind because I was just listening to mark and this part of the scripture. I asked god to give me something else to listen to while I cleaned. But something related to jesus still. Then your chosen video showed up. Then this was the next video of yours. He even answers the little prayers and I forgot to ask in jesus name for it too. He still directed me to you. 🙏❤️
Yes I have been seeking what only Jesus can give and that is salvation for my soul
❤ I appreciate everything you are doing to help me truly appreciate and hope to understand God's 🙏 word !!! I found your channel while watching the Chosen for the first time. Then I watched your teachings on the meaning of so many things that in my 58 years on 🌎 Earth so far have sadly escaped my understanding of the importance and history of Everything in the Bible. But, honestly, now I'm so excited to 😅 understand more about Jesus and the Disciples, plus All the Prophets !🙄❤️ I'm happily overwhelmed with new knowledge and excited to learn more and more about our God and his wonderful son. I have been in and out of churches my whole life and even taught children (what a blessing !!!). But now I have come full circle and I feel like one of those children that Jesus was teaching (in the show). Thank you for taking care to help others understand our Lord. ❤
I praise God for your teaching. This is a keeper to remind me that I can't look down on others while laying at the feet of JESUS ✝️🙏❤. After watching this I decided to watch the movie, Gladiator, to see and understand legions. What Jesus could do is beyond words. Thank you.
I was watching other videos about history, and stories from Mr. Ballen. I was getting ready to click on another video, and my thumb twitched, and "accidentally" clicked on yours. I am a Christian, but not a very strong one. I was raised in church, but got saved only 3 years ago. I was strong in studying the Bible at first, and I used to pray everyday, but I've really benn slacking nowadays. There are no coincidences. God had me click on this video, and I'm so glad that he did! God Bless! 🙏❤🙏
You're right I'll never look at those Bible verses the same again awesome teaching absolutely awesome
The real message is that faith is what heals and the lack thereof destroys, those who lack faithfulness lack the ability to endure... practice faithfulness to the truth which comes from God. ...it's not about being chosen but about choosing...
Brandon, you asked if anyone has ever said, "you don't count". My answer would be,...all the time. Thanks to Jesus, I am sooo counted! He loves me!!! Thank you for this information Brandon! You are truly a blessing!
I'm so sorry that you've had to hear those words, but so happy that you have found your true identity in Jesus!
I am a fervent Catholic Christian. I find your teaching is very informative and inspirational. May God bless your work and all Those dear to you! To God be the glory!
God bless .thankyou brother
God is good 🤗💕
Sending love from South Australia 💕🇦🇺
Why can’t I find a church where preaching is done like this? I am blessed to have come across you🙏💙
Pray God lead you to one. I did.
I am seeking ONLY what JESUS can do! Profound teaching!
I read your cover statement as I listened to your presentation. Seeking to give insight and clarify the word of God is a true calling, and you should be commended in front of men for this. This earth can be confusing, deceitful, and self serving. I truly don’t want to miss anything I can gain from the word of God.
I don't have anyone around me to read Mark with, but I will read it with a different perspective now, the way you explained it was awesome thank you. I've read Mark but didn't really see how powerful it was til now. May God bless you. 🙏🏻🤗 Lord Jesus Christ will have All the Glory 🤗🙏🏻
Christ also had mercy upon the demons by not sending them to the abyss before there time . Amen. ♥️🙏
Not to short change the second half of your lesson. I agree with "Step One" who said that your statement "You can't lay at the feet of Yeshua and look down on someone" is probably one of the most powerful statements I heard. Thank you, Brandon.
May the operational word for 2023 is- FRESH eyes and HUMILITY. Humility= being teachable, listening, obedience, bowing at the feet of Jesus,as if when you are already on the floor( by your own will) there is no way you will fall. Humility is the fragrance of the Spirit that is pleasing to God and notice and appreciated even by the world.God bless everyone.
WOW THIS HIT ME!!! WHAT A REVELATION my brother Brandon! You have never failed to teach me something new!! May God Bless you for taking the time to make these videos!! Sending much love you prayer to you and yours 🙏❣
I'm so glad! Praise God!
And I treasure your prayers!
FANTASTIC. THATS IT!!!!!!!
Amen
Yes it is, GLORY BE TO GOD 🙏❣
I don't look down on others, I see it as condemnation-and by doing so I condem myself. Before I found Jesus, of course I did-self exaltation fuels pride.
This was the first video I have ever seen of yours. I’m just seeing this now, 45 years in the making. Right on time. I love the way you break things down. You have earned yourself a new sub. Keep preaching and teaching brother. Be blessed
Thank you so much!
"If you love me, keep my commandments. " John 14:15
"Yes indeed! I tell you that whoever trusts in me will also do the works I do! John 14:12
Yeshua didn't just walk the Torah perfectly, he is the Torah!
John 1:1-14
Thank you I needed to humble myself before the feet of Jesus and also ask forgiveness from others. I see now how I looked down on other people. I don't want to do that anymore. Thank you Yeshua
Humbly ask Jesus he will answer
Frankly Brandon I am so excited to have been listening to you.
The more I listen to you the more I learn.
Even though I have done Bible study for many years, you bring whole new look and understanding to it.
THANK YOU. I LOVE YOUR TEACHINGS! Love your enthusiasm!
I will be sharing it with others!
So excited! 👏👏👏
My friend you have made me go from having a junk drawer to having a stand up very nice tool box.
God is Good. He always is leading me to wonderful site's, like this one.
God bless you and your family 💞🙏
