Taking Jesus Back from the NEW AGE: The Mark Series pt 40 (

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2020
- Some times we have been so indoctrinated into unbiblical ideas about faith, healing and prayer that we don't notice when the Bible is trying to correct us. As we study this passage I'm going to try and point out specifically how Jesus is not giving us the hyper-charismatic or new age views on prayer, healing and faith. But there is a risk that in refuting these false ideas we will miss out on the wonderful things God is trying to communicate. The Bible isn't just telling us what NOT to believe but also what TO believe. So, we are going to embrace what it says about faith, healing and prayer... all of it. Unlike the new age and hyper-charismatic tendency to ignore context and distort things to fit their movement and the "vibe" they are trying to create in their communities.
Are you interested in the supposed contradiction regarding the healing of the blind man? Here's what I've got on that • "FULL of Contradiction...
See the WHOLE Gospel of Mark playlist here • The Gospel of Mark Ser...
My website BibleThinker.org
Not to be super technical-although I am being super technical-but wouldn't the healing of the soldier's ear be Jesus' last healing? I'm just asking for my own understanding. I'm not trying to get one over.
Wow. You’re totally right. Thanks for pointing that out!
Let me add a couple details here, not to defend myself though, I actually really appreciate any correction and you are right to offer it. I said that this was the final healing in Mt, Mk, and Lk. But in Luke we have Malchus' ear being healed by Jesus. It's only in Luke and so it is still the final healing in Mt and Mk. This means I was wrong and I appreciate you pointing it out. So, I'm not interested in defending myself at all but I do want to mention something that rescues my interpretation of the theological implications of this healing. It is still the last healing in Mark and Matt and it may be even more dramatically emphasized because they must have known about Malchus' ear but chose not to include it, perhaps showing even more emphasis on the miracles that were chosen to be reported. So, I was wrong but I think we can still feel confident about the theological points I made about this blind man being healed.
This may be totally inappropriate 😃 but as soon as I saw the truth of your observation, the scripture "he who has ears to hear let him hear" (Matthew 13:9) popped into my head!! I'm probably totally spiritializing this scripture but it is none the less befitting the last miracle of Jesus with a scripture admonishing people to listen to His words!! What do you think? 😄
Kind of like see me, the soldier is hear me. :3
@@emf49 I think from Pastor Mike's video we can certainly learn to easily test ideas like yours through text of scripture. Most of the time, even the nicest sounding spiritual revelations turn out to be unbiblical.
@@MikeWinger I really wasn't trying to make make a fuss. I'm Christian but not a great Christian. I just asked the question for my own understanding. "Wasn't the soldier's ear the last healing that He did. If not why?" Kinda thing. I'm not interested in got you games. There is plenty about the Bible that I have gotten wrong. I was just trying to understand the chronology. No malice.
I have a degenerative fatal neuro muscular disease. It frustrates me so much when people tell me to pray for healing, as though I haven't been on my knees in tears pleading for God to heal me many times. They say the fact that I haven't been healed is somehow due to my faith not being strong enough. I have asked God for a cure within 10 years. I pray every day for a cure, not only for myself but for the many family members, including my brother and daughter who now suffer from the same illness. I know that His answer may be no. It will not affect my faith, whatever happens. There are far too many Christians who still think that if you are sick it is your lack of faith keeping you ill. I wish more people understood illness is not a sign that you aren't truly faithful. Sometimes being ill and still thanking God for every day he gives me, no matter how good or bad that day is, is more of a testament to a person's faith than those who get healed. Thank you for laying this out for us. Please remember me in your prayers.
Yes what a beautiful testimony , sister. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree.
God be with you all the days of your life. Much love❤️❤️❤️
Yep, been in those circles. It's a horrible burden to lay on someone who is already suffering! 😥😥
I don't know how things are going with you and your family now, because it's been a while since you posted here. I hope you are finding strength through the love of God our Father and the indwelling Holy Spirit.
I think one of the biggest problems with this attitude, that healing is ours and what we lack is faith, is that the *focus* is wrong.
I know that when you are sick, it's extremely difficult to *not* focus on getting your health back.
But, if God is to be glorified in us, our focus must be on Him, and His love and absolute goodness.
Joni Erickson went through this early in her journey as quadriplegic and finally gave up the idea of being healed in exchange for living for God's glory. She's done more in her lifetime to glorify God than I and most people will ever dream of. The light of God shines through her with every word she speaks. More power to you!
I love you comment about faith and healing. Now that I have made myself a student of the Bible, I cannot bring myself to listen the those very popular preachers out there. I'm speaking about the word of faith type preachers who causes people to become disenchanted with our most loving g God! Their teachings is that if you do not get what you want from God, you lack faith. And mis quoting scriptures by taking a verse, or even as little as a sentence and create doctrine is beyond my belief. I think they are either ignorant of the word of God, deceived, or and deceivers. You are so right about having a greater testimony by not giving up on God even after talking to Him about your condition for years. What ever the outcome keep believing in God. Those who says the it's a lack of faith prevents healing might one day have to answer the question, why aren't you being heal? It doesn't work for them. And we need to pray that they will stop all false teachings. God bless you for sharing, you echo my thoughts so clearly!
M dad was a humble, godly man, but he got ALS. And we prayed for healing for 2 years, and then he died. We had faith and I know God heard his prayers. Then people ask, “why didn’t God heal him?” The answer is: he did! It’s not always the way we want. My dad always said, “May God’s Will be done.” And he got the ultimate healing! He’s now in his eternal reward with Jesus!
The things Mike says about sickness and healing are true. I battled Leukemia the last 2.5 years. When I got the diagnosis, the Holy Spirit told me that I would be healed, but it would be a hard struggle. I understood that this meant there would be no immediate healing. I had a lot of Christian friends who would come to pray for an immediate healing, not understanding that my faith was in God's strength every day to make it through that day. That's were my faith was.
After 2.5 years I actually had the 'we don't know what to do anymore' talk with the doctors. All I could do was trust in Jesus. And some how, after all the struggles, I went into remission, and we could do a stem cell transplant. I'm now clean, no more leukemia. And I'm recovering better that the doctors expected.
And the amazing thing is how I have changed through the process, how my relationship with my wife has changed, and how my family has changed. God knew what He was doing when He allowed the leukemia and didn't perform an immediate healing.
Whatever you may be going through, just trust Jesus, and have faith that God can heal, but that if He doesn't, He will provide the end that He sees is best.
God bless.
I appreciate this teaching. My husband died from stomach cancer and many well meaning believers claimed we weren’t tithing or there was hidden sin or lack of forgiving others etc. that led to his sickness and eventual death. I now see it was an attempt to cover their own bad theology and “cover” for Him as of we’re responsible for God’s PR. It was a stressful time and even my faith was shaken. But your statement that “Faith in God is also active even when you trust God when He doesn’t heal you” is solid. Our focus is eternal and our hope is a living hope.
Sorry to hear about your loss, and also about the pressure put on you by others.
Yes, our faith is *in God* as our Saviour, Father and Master. Faith isn't something to be *used* to get our prayers answered! To claim that it is, is an abuse of scripture.
I'm so glad you are clinging to Him!
😁😁👍👍👍
I am very sorry for your loss. also, I'm sorry you experienced that within the church.
I like when you said WE are the blind beggar. We are poor. We are blind. We have nothing to offer but a plea for mercy from Jesus. I never looked at this story in that way. Thanks for this teaching!!
"I am with you always." "I have all power over heaven and earth." So then to do we since his is with us and in us where the kingdom of heaven is..
I recognised when studying this that in the healings the person recognised that Jesus had not only the power but more importantly the authority to heal and so they did not demand but appealed to him for healing. They did not demand an outcome. Their faith was that they knew he was the Son of God and had the power and Authority to heal them. We must always approach Jesus knowing who he is and that he will always do what is good and what is right for us
Jesus in us....the hope of glory. Today this is our lot that we may know him in all his ways.
Jesus also had forgiveness as part of his healing. He said to go and sin no more. He would not have said that if it were not possible.
I would agree & add to that: when you look at the stories of people Jesus healed, they always had faith but they also had humility, recognizing they had NOTHING to offer God but their trust. And like you said, after we’ve done all we know to do, are we willing to surrender our desires to the sovereignty of God, without losing our trust if He doesn’t heal or deliver according to our requests?
It’s a hard thing to accept esp. when it’s a dear friend or loved one who passes away in spite of our prayers in humility & trust.
But much more so for those who are told somebody messed up the formula & that’s why their prayers weren’t answered.
i came from word of faith movement for 8 years and believing a wrong doctrine is not easy,.. its really hard to unlearn everything you learned from them.... its hard its really hard :( but i am thankful that God show His grace and mercy to and opened my eyes...
How mindblowing must it be to get healed from Blindness, and you get the most incomprehensible divine gift in all of Huma history and THEN, you see the face of the Son of God !!!!
Moxie is such a beautiful, fuffy cat. Your cat looks so relaxed. I she is truly spoiled. Cats rule.🐈🐈💕💕
You truly glorify God with your work.
3 years ago I didn't know what I needed but my husband And i sold our house and cars, we bought a camper and started traveling.
I believe that was God because not having anything truly gave me everything, through people like you and the bible I found him.
Praise God! Thanks for your testimony!
@@claudiaperfetti7694 ❤
Such a humbling reminder to be desperate for Jesus Christ because He's all that we truly have ❤️ Thank you for this episode, your Mark series is such a huge blessing! Praying for your ministry!
I never saw myself as the blind me. I am grateful for your verse by verse teaching. No theatrics, just the word. May God raise up more like you is my prayer.
Mine too. I'm an older woman and not quick enough to engage in YT apologetics or theological evangelism, but I pray for Mike Winger and that God will raise up more like him.
You are my favorite teacher. Thank you. So so so Good. I used to cling to so much of Bill Johnson's teachings. The "faith" stuff you talked about was spot on. It is like, "If you will pursue God long and hard enough, then you will see healing everywhere you go." The longer I have gone realizing the blatant heretical teachings, the more I have realized that it is Gnosticism. It is like a continual journey to become a super christian and pretty much reach enlightenment.
Very very good observations on it. And I like that you experienced that world, so you can see it more clearly now. Bless you for getting out of it.
Some of my church members love Bill Johnson teaching, Malaysian. I am so sorry but they are supposedly mature Christian ✝️.
Andy Wong Maybe a good opportunity to start talking about some of his teachings, compared to scripture? You could not even use his name, but discuss the teachings. And then they should clearly see them when they watch him next. Just an idea. God bless.
@@jaquirox6579 . In his book When Heaven Invades Earth, pg 80. It was the Holy Spirit that revealed the Father to Jesus.
I am not sure how may bible reading Christian accept such heretics.
One time, when I was "🏄♂️ the internet 🤣 I came upon Bill Johnson teaching. I decided to listen for awhile. What he was teaching at that time wasn't that bad...Just a general teaching..I think sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it wrong!!
I was literally JUST talking about taking Jesus/Christian terms and slapping them on new age principles. Yer ma fav, Mike. Thanks for being willing to talk about hard subjects.
Moxie 😍😍😍 she is such a sweetheart and brings lots of joy - so glad God blesses us with animals thanks for sharing your cats with us ❤️
I was just thinking today as I stroked my cat how perfectly made she is, not just for her survival, but for our pleasure. Soft, warm, tactile, not too small but not too big, making her a perfect size for living with us in our home. The way her head fits perfectly into my hand as i stroke her, it's as if she was made for relationship with us. It's a curious thing, our desire to seek out the companionship of animals, I mean even when we have family or friends for company, even when we have no need of their uses like pest control or guarding property, we get a kick out of that feeling when an animal shows trust in us, to take food from our hand or let us touch them for the first time. Animals, and pets in particular are a great gift, allowing us to see God's perfection in his creation up close!
The near in blood the nearer bloody
Hmm, two cats, four hens, nine ducks with more coming… I would have to agree with you. Multiple blessings from everyone of them. I have such love for them.
@Lon Spector was it a shock for you? Unfortunately it's as depressingly familiar as "stars" of the Christian music scene walking away from their faith.
@@littleboots9800 You are talking about the animal, a real cat? You know we made cats that way? They were not always so small and so docile. That's even worse than the banana from ray comfort. Every little child knows pets are domesticated...
@@FeelNuhWay I think you are over thinking things. I believe in evolution and understand domestication and selective breeding quite well thanks, but yes, I believe God created the universe, of which, cats are a part, as are we. Our domestic cats come from a wildcat that was already small, (and soft and warm!) and lived alongside us for probably thousands of years before being domesticated as house pets. So I don't get your point?
Wow! So much great teaching packed into one message! I’ve been in church my entire life. I’ve heard the story of blind Bartimaeous taught, preached, even sang about multiple times over the years; and yet I’ve never gotten so much out of it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I found your channel through Melissa Dougherty. You guys do amazing work. Before starting this video I wanna say thank you for your dedication to go through the gospel of Mark. Just...wow❤
Thank you so much for this teaching. I see it’s three years old. I prayed for healing for ten years for my daughter who loved and served the Lord. Just months prior to her passing God revealed to me that my trust and faith in him whether we get what we want or not is true faith. My battle that my faith wasn't strong enough had me feeling responsible for many years but it was honestly, those around me who are loving Christians, after she passed really still believe that. They don't claim to understand it but that is what has been taught. That if you have true deep faith you are healed. If it doesn't happen your faith is lacking somewhere. It is so damaging and isolating. Knowing that people who love you feel as if you had part in your loss and suffering. They feel sorry for me and love me but just can’t accept that their faith won’t heal them in the future or has kept them safe thus far. It’s in the Bible right? I so so appreciate this break down as I believe you are spot on. My daughter passed on her Birthday. I felt as if there was no coincidence in this. Her purpose had been completed. Now mine continues possibly just for this particular topic. Thanks for the help!
This teaching is Mike at his best. And yes, what I'm learning is having a positive blessing on my life, church and community here in UK
Same here in Portugal. God bless you brother Mike Winger.
salvation beyond our understanding....just every grateful that JESUS did what HE did because of GOD's love to us .,,,,,,,,,,,,each day i am thankful and thank my lord for it .
Moxie!!!!!! 😍🥰 So happy she chose to “grace us with her presence” again today 😋❤️ She’s the cutest.
I feel entitled to judgement and nothing more. And only by God's grace through faith and the blood of His Son Jesus Christ that was shed for the forgiveness of sin am I prepared for that day! Thank you and God bless you for your loyalty to our King and God bless all our brothers and sisters as well!
"If you have confident faith for healing, you should have confident faith for *not* healing." AMEN!
Yes. So true. I'm learning to praise God whether healed or not.
@Randy Scott well it is always so nice to get an intelligent, polite, reasoned and constructive comment. Thank you 😀
Yes, sometimes when I’m praying for someone I hear not yet or this one needs to tarry a little longer.
That statement also stood out to me as a great takeaway gem. If someone ever compiled a book of one-liner quotes from Mike, that would make the cut. Of course, such a book would be antithetical to Mike's whole premise of "check the context."
Faith for Healing AND not Healing. Like A and Not-A? Hmmm. Needs some work here.
I loved this one SO MUCH, I've always considered my present self as Bartimaeus. Eversince God changed my heart, I have no desire for material things whatsoever, all I want is to remain close to Jesus... and a little money to buy more Bibles and books :P
Thank you Mike for taking the time to put this together. God bless.

Man.... really great video! I always enjoy your videos, but this was really just exceptional. You’re sensitive to not being crass to people believing these false things, so you’re sort of like taking a spoon full of sugar with the medicine of truth. But the truth is still very effectively coming through! And we need more preachers like you Sir! I wish, so badly, that I could find a similar church to your style, in my local city. It’s a very tough church atmosphere out here in Billings Montana.
Lon Spector So ominous....
I do LOVE scripture, it is amazing and exciting and we are so blessed to have a God that not only gave us the atoning sacrifice in Christ, and the Holy Spirit to guide us, but an instruction manual that we might understand Him, ourselves and the Word!!! What love, what undeserved grace and mercy.
Love and blessings to you and yours in Christ our Lord. Your videos bless me so much!!!
God is not a vending machine where you put enough faith coins in, your miracle falls out the bottom. God is our Heavenly Father. He knows what's good for us. Faith is when we trust that He knows what is best for us. We know He is CAPABLE of fulfilling our heart's desire, but He is wiser and knows what we REALLY need. Like Paul says about his thorn in his flesh, God allowed it to remain to keep Paul from becoming to boastful, and the country song, "I Thank God for Unanswered Prayer", there's a reason for that 'no' answer. Faith is trusting in God's love for us, and His omniscience.
God bless you Mike. I was so blessed by your teaching on the Mark passage. My understanding is that my faith is in Jesus Christ & if it is His will to heal me he will. Even if He does not heal me my faith in Him must still stand if I choose to follow Him. Yes I choose Jesus Christ as my Savior & Lord even through I struggle with health issues. It is all about Jesus Christ and His word. Thank you
You are incredibly gifted! So grateful and moved by your anointing. The layers of the Bible come alive. Wish I had more time to dig into your teaching. Be abundantly blessed for being such a blessing!
God bless you and your ministry. Humble thanks for all you and your family and team do.
So good. Lots of nuggets for me. God bless you Mike
I love you in Christ brother Mike 🌹 I pray that he blesses you with peace in your heart, and faithful perseverance in your walk with him. 🙏🏼
Awesome, awesome, awesome teaching. Praise God for His work through you, Mike.
Great teaching, thank you, Mike and team... Kitty cats and all 😍.
There's a clever play on words as far as Nazareth/Nazarene is concerned. Netzer in Hebrew is the same word for Nazareth and Branch.
Jer 23:5-6 speaks of a "righteous Branch" being raised up for David who shall "reign as king and...execute justice and righteousness..."
Isaiah 11:1 prophesies that "A shoot will come up from Jesse....a Branch will bear fruit."
Romans 1:3 Jesus is called a descendant of David whose father was Jesse.
It continues in vs 4 of Isaiah 11, "...with righteousness He will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. " This fits perfectly with the blind beggar.
A cloak in those days was essential to the owner - protected him from the elements. In effect, when he left his cloak, he left all he had to shelter himself with and ran to Jesus - verifies what Mike was saying.
Regarding the blindness, education for Hebrew boys in those days involved learning to read and recite the Torah (1st 5 books of the Bible). A blind boy/man was considered cursed as he was unable to learn the Torah or be educated. Possibly that's why he was told to "shut up"! Another great picture that all of us are cursed in our spiritual blindness but when Jesus opens our eyes, we are blessed (saved from condemnation).
What a clever, awesome God! Nothing is in Scripture arbitrarily.
Thank you for the meaning of the netzer in Hebrew! Wow, that makes so much sense, and you are so right, nothing is scripture arbitrary! Amen!!!
Mike, thank you so much for your love for people and The Lord. I want my walk to be like yours.
God bless you. Our Lord is truly using you for His glory. He is using you to show us little details that mean so much, that we might not have seen, or might not have seen right away. And so I thank God for using you to open our eyes even more! Im LOVING how you explain everything, Praise God. All glory and honor belong to Him! You are so very blessed by Him in the way you teach! Amen! So glad the Lord led me to your channel! Its exciting to find someone who is on His path and can help us all learn new things...
I always love to hear/read about Jesus' mercy. And you did a great job relating that. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video... an exploration of the word of God. In fact I was grinning with joy throughout.
God bless you @Mike Winger and May He continue to increase you in knowledge, understanding and wisdom, Amen.
This is sound teaching.
It reflects the HEART of God...deep calls unto deep...circumcision of the heart.
Faith,fellowship,knowing God,and all these kinds of issues,can be untwisted with Mike's teaching.Keep following...
Thanks Mike for your faithful teaching
Thank you thank you so much, this is always just what I need at the right time :-) praise the Lord for this Bible teaching!
I think this is one of your best teachings, Mike. God be blessed!
This made me cry. Jesus! I need You!!!!
I love your secret plot! And I love studying the Bible verse by verse. Thank you for your faithfulness. May God bless you and your family.
The blind man…..tears to my eyes….humility….wants healing…not giving up calling for Jesus…Jesus sees belief in his heart….Jesus heals…..tears to my eyes. Hope for me too.
Hi, Moxie! Yes, we appreciate Pastor Mike, too!!
It's always nice to be humbled, thanks for this 👌
I listen to you all the time. One of your best messages ever.
We’re poor. We’re blind. And we have nothing to offer to God, except a plea for mercy, and a recognition of who He is! That’s gold, Pastor Mike! I’m going to right that down and remind myself every day!!
Fortunately you point us in the right direction! Blessed and safe days!
Personally, I prefer dogs but Moxie is my exception 😊 so fluffy. Be blessed everyone
Why would people be bothered by kangaroos? Thats the only two-legged animal that i can think of right now
@Lon Spector "Four legs good, two legs bad" (wings count as legs).
Or was that, "Four legs good, two legs better." It's so easy to get confused with these things.

Thank you! I love learning more depth! ♥️🙏🏻🕊
This was so refreshing thank you! and I so get the vibration thing from new age as a former newager myself that was a big thing raising your vibration matching it to the higher realms to manifest your desires wants and needs as you are a co-creator a god and you deserve the best of everything and so on.. it is so wrong in so many lvls. New age loves Jesus but the wrong one the man-made version of him. Which is countless how many versions they have of Jesus. All False teachings. This new age is so deceitful.
I really loved this teaching. I thank the Lord for His provision
I come here to learn about what I read in my bible daily. I start my day reading from the bible. You explain and help me understand the wisdom I am gaining! Thank you!
I am being fed here. Thank you for your service to God's kingdom.
Thank you for seriously considering and talking about the preacher who talked about faith as a vibration. It would be so easy to not take his teaching (and other people who don't share the same views I have) seriously, but seeing the way you spoke about that teaching really spoke to me. I learned more watching you approach him and his teaching than about the things you taught from Mark.
Awesome study. I was recently invited to a group who's leader was on the hyper-charismatic side. He was teaching it is always Gods will to heal and i suspect his idea of group prayer comes from the book "Physics of Heaven". this has given me some great points and scriptures to bring up if i go back. thank you Mike!
@Lon Spector I totally agree. some teachers will try and use scripture to back up their claims, although it is mostly a misrepresentation of what the word is actually saying. Jeremiah 29:11 is a classic example. I'm motivated to get deeper into the word to defend against these false teachings. There are many young adults in my area who are being drawn to these false teachers and are being deceived by false doctrines. It's hard seeing the blind being led by the blind. they are being taught to listen more to their "heart" than to read the Word. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I feel i am in a spiritual battle and I feel God is calling me to reach them.
Lon Spector Thank you! I will look that up.
I loved this wish I could find the beginning of this series !!!!
The way you break it down is sooooooo goood! Thank you !!!!

Thank you so much Mike. This upload was a blessing!
Good job, Mike. Very informative and I learned a few things. God bless
Thank you Mark. I really enjoy your ministry.😊
Love your stuff Pastor Mike. Had the privilege of having recommended you to the greatest Pastor in the world, my dad, and being told he was proud I found a Pastor like you. Stay blessed
So many great insights! I love these teachings!
Hi Mike. The last thing you said about changing churches to be biblical.
I think as a result of your studies, I learned how to study Scripture, It is also affecting my good works. Through I believe i have been able to bless others
I have no been put in a leadership role at church where in many cases I would teach.
I pray i may have a positive impact on my church and those around me.
Thank you and Praise the Lord!
Thank you so mucj for solid food
God bless you 👏👏💗
You teach me SOOOO much! Thank you SOOOO much!
I love how you unpack scripture.
Thank you for your video, it's helps me so much
Great teaching Mike. Im learning so much. Thankyou.
God bless you for this teaching Mike!
I’ve also noticed that it’s very common to put your faith in healing, Gods ability to heal, your faith, the faith of the person praying, a certain prayer, a certain church, a certain ministry, etc but not in God. Most, if not all, of the healing in the New Testament is for Gods glory and to build people’s faith in God. God will not share his glory with another. Christians would probably see more healing if they encouraged faith in God instead of making idols out of themselves and mans ministry
Very valuable, really appreciate it! Kind regards from Sydney, Australia 😊
This was EXCELLENT! Thank you!!! Not finished but I will!!!
This teaching has really helped me - thank you!!
He knows nothing about the holy ghost came a 2nd time during the mass Pentecostal revivals of the 40s and 50s and 60s and has never walked in that light just like most haven't...
They come against these false annointed trinitarian preachers of the word of faith movement falsely claiming to be the bride of Jesus christ....
Which is a total contradiction and withstanding the real truth.....because the holy ghost not only came during the mass Pentecostal revivals of the 40s and 50s and 60s to restore all things or all truths but the holy ghost also came to fulfill the marriage of the lamb and bride....
And during this time or generation the holy ghost divorced the espoused apostate catholic church corrupted by all her fornications and adulteries which she has made the whole world drunk with......but the holy ghost also chose a small Pentecostal non trinitarian church that baptizes in the name of Jesus Christ to be his bride....not the UPC church either....
@@dieselcowboy777 You (or they---whoever "they" are) are NOT the only ones who are going to be saved. God 💘 the WHOLE 🌎 world...There are multitudes in Heaven.......
I worked as a telephone prayer partner at CBN for about a year. Basically it was a "name it and claim it" philosophy that we were pushing. Though I did hear of some true miracles on the phones, most of the things that we were pushing was nonsense... and the ministry got very rich indeed.
The nonsense produced miracles 😅
God does want us to have A good thing... The good thing is knowing Him and if it requires losing all you have to get there, then praise God! He is giving you the best things He can!
Thanks Mike! Love you!
Mike, ... what a powerful blessed insight. not one drop of Pablum being served up.
Thank you❤
Thanks Mike, God bless you
Love ur channel and how you answer and discuss important subjects! I made my own channel because I think it's so important to gain biblical insight and hear about the true gospel. I came into the kingdom of God after much tribulations and left occult/new age after 12 years! I've been a born again believer now for 11 years and now I started my own channel to share the gospel, do detailed in depth bible studies, prayers, topical scripture proofs and discussions/explanations, and testimony! I have content for people who are curious about Christian faith, new believers, and seasoned believers! Its been such a blessing! Thank you for sharing the truth!
Hello Mike, I don't know if you will read this but, I just wanted to tell you....
Thank you for having this youtube channel. I feel that God has led me to your channel so that I may learn so many things. I have always struggled to understand the bible. Not because I didn't believe in the word of God but, every time I would sit down to read, with almost all of the bible I would start to feel very overwhelmed and out of my depth. I'm so glad that you are doing this verse by verse study of Mark because it's been so helpful for me to understand what I am reading. I just wanted to let you know that I find this style of teaching very helpful and informative. I've struggled with learning disabilities through my life and coming here I've found that I can more easily digest the word of God and understand his word. Which is very important to me. So from one fellow follower of Christ Jesus to another thank you for taking the time to reach out to someone like me through our Lord Jesus.
Great teaching, God bless you!!!
Thanks Mike
I'm new to your channel and have been really enjoying your content on women in ministry , and am exploring your vids while eagerly waiting g for episode 9. Something that stands out to me in this topic is how you've said several times about faith not being a "substance" (or juju, haha), and I can't help but to keep thinking of Hebrews 11:1. "Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.". My understanding of God's will for healing is that Jesus already healed us when he died on the cross and "took up our sins and bore our diseases", and then even said, "It is finished".
Everyone who came to him for healing was healed. He didn't turn away anyone. I know it says He couldn't do any good work in his own town, because of their unbelief. Jesus emphatically stated, "It IS My will to heal you" (Mark 1:40). So it is always His will for us to be healed. Of course none of us are exempt from getting sick, whether through an outright attack from the devil, or as a consequence of our actions, or more matter of factly, as a result of the fall. BUT, God still "works all things together for good" (Rom. 8:28), even if it wasn't something that was His will. Which I believe is the key. Yes, many times God uses someone's affliction, for His glory and great purpose, but I have experienced personally the healing power of the living God Who lives inside of me, when I received (key term) His healing for me from migraines. And it was a moment that I had at home, just between Jesus and me. I did get tested a few times a couple months after, but I kept speaking my faith and using my authority in Jesus's name, and I am no longer afflicted! I know plenty of people have even more miraculous testimonies than that too. Faith can make you seem a little crazy sometimes to people, when you are, "calling things that are not as though they are"(Roman's 4:17), but when it's about something that you know is according to God's will, it really does move mountains( Mark 11:23,24)!
Thank you pastor Mike
This was Great Mike … thank you♥️
So many wonderful insights
I’d never given any consideration to the fact that the blind beggar called Jesus by his messianic title until you pointed that out, Mike. It’s interesting to speculate on why/ how he came to that conclusion, especially as his blindness and poverty would have put him at a considerable disadvantage. He had incredible perception!
Good teaching pastor Mike. Thank you.
I loved this, thank you Mike!
I love you pastor Mike. Thank you bro
So good!
Mike, Thanks for keeping us grounded with the Word! I appreciate your contributions to the Church. I am hoping you will address Michael Heiser's claims in his book, Unseen Realm. I'm very doubtful of his process and conclusions. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for getting rid of the bath water. That water has left a bad taste In my mouth for a long time and sometimes I couldn’t totally explain why other than discernment. Can’t wait to meet you at the great restoration!
Mike, you are correct in your assessment of the Word of Faith movement. They see faith as a *power* that we can wield by our words.
I was part of this movement for a number of years, and I came to realize that once you have the formula off pat, you don't actually need God at all.
Your faith is in the formula, the philosophy, and in *your own faith.* It's metaphysics, in the same way that the book "The Secret" is metaphysics.
It's about as heretical as you can get. In fact, the movement is worse, theologically speaking, than the stuff the Mormon "church" teaches.
No, they do not see faith as a power but they see faith as a character that draws the power of God.
Love ur lessons and the kitty
