- Many did not see me stepping out of the church and ministries I was leading, and thought it was something really drastic on my part. In this video I share my story which will hopefully not only clarify the reasons behind my decision, but also challenge the way we see calling, church and success in ministry.
Leave a comment below if you would like to engage and connect, would love to hear from you and will try my best to reply.

@@patriciaking7892 Good. Me too.
@@crowsandravens8998 this is the point
@@crowsandravens8998 Agreed! I need a safe and supportive community where I can find it at church. So, I'll keep on going to church. I love my church!
I am a retired pastor. Our job is to look after the sheep, if one has a pastoral calling. Fit in where your Calling can be fully utilized by the Lord. Obey God, do it well, and it should not matter what title you are called. We are answerable to God alone. Just humbly serve him. Big ways, small ways, any way as long as it is God's way.
So true!
Thank you for sharing God's calling on your heart. It is touching my heart likewise. I am not a minister in a local church. But God has done extraordinary things in me. I have wanted to go on the road and reaching out as I go. He is prepping me and I believe He will provide and protect if this is what He wants me to do. I am a 65 year old widow and I surrender everything back to Him for all He has done and continues to do in my life.
Amen!
As a Pastor you can't retire
@@oriczeederberg7194 :
This guy never was a pastor.
I’m a pastor’s kid and grew up in the church. Our churches have always been small so I’ve been helping out in various ministries (as a pastor’s kid does) since I was 7. When I was in my 20s, I got burnt out and decided that it was time to step back. During that time, I attended a bunch of larger churches where I felt I could just worship, listen to the word and then leave. But after a while my spirit felt parched for something more. I feel like big churches are great for bringing people in but small churches are where you go to grow. There is something about the intimacy and a feeling of truly being a family in a small church. There are fewer hands, less funds and it becomes more about stepping up to fulfill a role in the body versus it being paying gig. Everyone is there because they want to be there. The church culture now is so focused on aesthetics and being current to bring in people - so much so that the Word is warped to fit the mold of the world.
Very well said. I agree with you 100 %. I actually got turned off completely by the evangelical church when I was baptized with my 3 teenage children and the pastor wanted me to change my testimony. It didn't fit with his idea of being saved I guess. I found smaller churches for the most part had pastors that were much more accessible and preaching because they were called to, not for the paycheck and title.
I feel you, I’m a PK too, still service the small church
Man, I really resonate in heart to your story! I’m a PK in a small church and recently I’ve been teetering on burnout and considering venturing towards a larger community where I could rest in more. After reading your story, I’m reflecting on the value of the small church, but I’m still grieved at the ambition of wanting to grow where I find myself and others quick to overlook who’s in attendance and often mention who’s not while hoping so much to fill empty seats. I’m really hungry for pure discipleship, content and godly relationship, and the humility of the Jesus-exampled ministry. Even now, I’m wresting with this internal conflict of wanting to simplify even more and commit to serving in life in and out of the church walls (like influencing kingdom at my workplace in the grocery store, school, friendships, and home) while still honoring the good of regular gathering and assembly.
true
Truth. Church culture now is filled with paganism and feeling like you’re going to a social club or Broadway production rather than being focused on and learning about Christ and being disciples.
11:59 “We are more focused on teaching, training and equipping people to run church programs than we are at teaching training and equipping individuals to live out the gospel in their daily lives.”
👍🏼
This has been a concern and passion of mine as well. In a nutshell, putting discipleship in its proper place of priorities.
I would like to know more abt your ministry
Exactly, most of are in church but not in Christ.
@@ChiomaChinedu714 perfectly said.
Amen. And programmed to build churches. Many churches don't have programmes that service the Community , such as social services, councillers for various social issues, food programmes. Many mega churches do have food and school programmes, many out of their areas.
I always wonder... Where do all the millions go? Would be interesting to see as many donate towards these....
"We don't just go to church. WE ARE THE CHURCH!" God help us live up to that, brother!

@ ChristotakuB same here. I don't go to church.
But you know when Jesus come he is not going to ask how much healing you did and your works.....he is going to ask is, did you obey God's commandments? and do you know how you get eternal life?
Please read Mark 12:29,30 and read John17:3. This is the truth that you have to share.
Jesus quoted in Mark 12:29,30 from dueteronomy 6:4,5
What is John 17:3?
There it says you have to know the one true God and knowing the One whom he sent Jesus.
One true God is Jeremiah 10:10
Jesus the promised seed our saviour.
John 20:8 what is it ? Those who do not believe Jesus is the son of God are anti christ.
So in John 2:22 says Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist-denying the Father and the Son.
Who is the father? Who is the son.? If you have found from the above verse you got eternal life. Everybody has to know this truth.
Nothing irritated me MORE than pastors in the midst of Covid being SILENT. A few DARED to have Church, in homes, and healings, signs and wonders flowed. That is CHURCH, standing up to darkness and saying NOT ON MY WATCH!!!
@@savannahsmiles1797 Agree 👍
@@savannahsmiles1797 We had also seen a real good example of a pastor who did not bother about Covid 19 to visit a family where one of the members died of Covid.He attended the funeral program.
After some days all the family members of the pastor were infected with Covid but God kept them alive.
This is my journey too. I was a young adult when God called me out of my church. And it was the most difficult and agonising decision bcoz I was so active in church. I was a youth leader. He "demoted" me to a humble and small house of prayer. And little did I know that was the most glorious part of my journey. I fell in love with Jesus so hard from this small prayer community. My years in this small group taught me that Christianity is not just about faithfully going to church, reading the bible, having a ministry. They taught me to walk and enjoy Jesus on a daily basis. I found Jesus in the secret place. They gave me the greatest revelation in my life: intimacy with Him. Now I enjoy being with Jesus even when I'm just washing dishes. I may not have a ministry now to call my own nor a title but I really really love talking to Jesus when I'm just doing mundane things. I feel like I know Him more now than when I was in church. I just love Him too much now 😭 and I am learning to love people too around me because if this relationship.
Amen!!!
Too many people get lazy in Church. (I did!) Happy being spoon-fed instead of going personally deeper with the Holy Spirit

Right on Lily…. The simplicity of the gospel is pure and sincere devotion to Christ 🥰
The Bible is Jesus. Christianity is always about the daily bread 🍞 which is His word. I can see your point on congregating and ministry but the word is daily.
This is now me, sister
I'm Indonesian pastor and I believe that ministry is any activities, efforts and contributions assigned by the Lord, motivated by love to God and men, enabled by the Spirit, intended for God's glory and bringing down the heaven and His will on earth as it is in heaven. So God calls all of us to minister where ever we are and not just called to ministry
I loved this!
I can’t wait to hear more stories from you. I am so encouraged by what you have said.
You speak the truth about God and his word.
God Bless You!
Hi Jon, great video. I have also left a mega church after leading worship there for a few years. After I read the Bible in full for myself, I realized the great divide between the Word of God and this “mega church modern day Christian” movement. I am now apart of a house church with 10 other people. We literally meet in a basement with our bibles and a guitar. It was has been life changing and the Lord has moved in supernatural ways. He has increased our zeal, our boldness, our humility, our wisdom and our love for one another and our desire to serve our city. You’re on the right track and you’re not alone! 👍🏼
Your are right about your decisions brother some of these mega churches they are not in the "Look for lost souls and rescues them and help them walk with Christ Daily" they've Lost that Kind of Love for other's they are more on the new member's....so more members more tithes and offering....
I was a pastor for 25 years, and I do home church now for the last five years….nothing like it! Blessings
I call mega churches franchise restaurants....once they go franchise the quality lessens. It's been a long time since I actually felt anything being sardine packed in a mega church. Mostly annoyance and wanting to just leave.
@@mikecara3271 Wow that is amazing! Where are you located? We are in Ontario, Canada. I personally don’t know any other house church near us. Although it’s hard to know how many there are. We have been gathering for about 4 years. From one house church to another, God bless you brother as you lean on the Holy Spirit in your small gathering!
@@mikecara3271 I'm a female andI have been seeking God's face earnestly from October , I would like to be used by God to bring my entire family and loved ones, those around me and my foes out of poverty, I want to be used as the Joseph in my family, my mother and father abandoned me from a few months old my siblings and I do not have a relationship so I want God to restore our family, heal my heart and use me to bring them to Christ and bless them also.
Please pray for me
“The holiest moment in a service is at the end when people exit the doors to be the church to their town” -John Piper
👍 Right on 😂❣️☝️🙌🙏
With the internet, your testimony can go global.One plants, one harvests, but God gives the increase. Put it out there and let God do His thing.
Then why attend a service or worship or fellowship, in the first place? Stay out of it like the M-hammedans and pretend you are the holiest of the holies!
I'd request you to read, for example, Gal 6:1, "Brothers, if someone is caught in sin, you who are Spiritual SHOULD RESTORE him gently. But WATCH YOURSELF, OR YOU ALSO MAY BE TEMPTED."
Now, think for yourself and consider why 'holiest of holies' like yourself cannot be trusted to fully RESTORE one to God.
You see, this is what comes of pretending to guide others while it is obvious you yourself have no sense of Direction, made even more appalling by how you dare to substitute worthless & futile words of men for the Infallible & Irrefutable Word of God!
It sounds good, but it's bs.
@@guens01 I'm not sure why you think it's B.S. ? The local church and the Universal Worldwide Church/Bride of Christ, down through the Ages, has a primary purpose of equipping the saints: through His Word of Truth by His Spirit of TRUTH; and by Worshipping God together in Spirit and in Truth; and in Him ALONE, enjoying and being girded up, as iron sharpening iron, with mutually edifying Fellowship. All This, that the Church would be the Church for Reals-- representing Christ, as they "exit the doors to be the Church to their town", just as John Piper suggests. I.e., Living His Love and Forgiveness in action, by the empowering of the Holy Spirit, through each child of God's every day life.
With All the GLORY belonging ONLY to our Great Triune God ❣️
🙏🙌😊
Felt really blessed to watch this video. I feel so encouraged by this. Thank you for sharing this Jon!
I used to be active in church and its ministries for many years and, one day, I left the church because of too much church politics that ruined my spirit to worship God.
Ely please still love the Lord Jesus Christ. He still loves you...
@@stephaniedegange2737 i do...
Amen my brother, I have left the church too. I'm Evangelizing in the streets now. Also in the the Prisons. To the lost, I reach out to now. Love you my Brother. You are obeying THE LORD.
May the Holy Spirit equip you!!!
❤️🙏🏼✝️

Yes, to obey is better than sacrifice.
Obeying the Holy Spirit is always the top priority. But people don’t have to leave their church in order to evangelize in the street, or in the prisons, or in the neighborhoods. They can stop participating in the things that God is not calling them to do. And they can do the thing they’re supposed to do. so, maybe on whatever day your church meets, you go and participate in the piece of it that has your core group of believers that you can be praying for, and they can be praying for you and for the people you minister to. That might be on a Sunday, Saturday, a small group meeting during the week, and just skip the mega part of it. and there may be days when you intend to gather with other believers somewhere, and God directs you in a completely different direction for some divine appointment he has set up. And that might just be for one day, for that specific moment. I don’t think there’s an “all or nothing“ direction for the Holy Spirit because he works through all sorts of people in all sorts of places.
I totally agree with you and I actually have sat down from ministry in the church for 7 months now and my ministry is now my kids raising them the kingdom way. I was so busy focusing on the show in the church my life and my kids were being neglected spiritually. Since then I've had a huge process of rejection and looking like a fool for God but I know I'm smack dab in the middle of HIS Will now.
Amen amen & amen. I praise & thank God for leading me to this video. There’s a powerful message here for all believers to listen to. May God bless you as you venture into the new job, may He use you incredibly so!
So encouraging to hear that the truth, God's truth has convicted and led you to where you are at now! Praying for you and your family. May the Lord blesses you abundantly and use you mightily to bring the good news to His creation. Thanks for sharing!
May God bless you richly for your obedience and courage! He also pulled me out of a full time pastorate about 15 years ago... and put me in an outlaw motorcycle club! I served the role of a chaplain, and started a custom painting shop to pay the bills, while reaching men whom the church considered unreachable. It was not easy, but if God leads you to it, He'll lead you thru it. I will be praying for you. And you are right - the mission field is OUTside the church walls. The purpose of church, in my opinion, is to train and prepare people to go OUTside and reflect Jesus to the world. God Bless!
That's very true
Amen 🙌
Stay humble, friend.
Ty for sharing this!!! Quite encouraging!
Yes, yes, yes! Yahshua said go, preach, baptise, make disciples, cast out demons, heal in My Name. He didn't said - stay in a building named church-
Your testimony was beautiful. My church has no walls, it's in the streets where we feed the homeless, hand out hugs & words of encouragement to those that need it. Be blessed.
❤️
God doesn't care which church you go but God wants us to be in the house of God.
That’s wonderful but church is about fellowship, using gifts to help other Christians and discipleship of the body of Christ. Outreach to the community is a ministry.
@@toliveischrist950 Feeding the homeless is not a ministry. It's what the bible describes as pure religion. Jesus was glaringly on the side of the poor and needy, oppressed groups of people. Nowadays, the Evangelical church has meltdowns at the thought of their taxes going to the poor and needy, but wants the government to oppress the LGBTQ community and other groups they hate. The evangelical church is the body of Pharisees, not the body of Christ. The musical entertainment is the only thing that makes it attractive to people, without their cool hipster bands it would die a death.
@@darrenwithers3628 Jesus called LGBT disgust sin
It’s too much compromise in this world and He hates killing too
I believe people will reap what they sow
My goodness! You encouraged me so much! You are a living message! I have great expectancy for you!!
Thank you for this message. My friend led me here and it was definitely something I needed to hear. I'm going through something similar now, haven't completely made it out yet but I know God is leading me to something great!
That’s exactly what I felt seven years ago. Too much noise, too much music, too much activities, too much marketing, too much church strategies, too much busyness… I suffocated. I couldn’t bear it anymore. I decided to step out, just like you said. I prayed to God and I’m still praying for Him to make me holy. I prayed for true holiness and humility, quietness of spirit and true trust in Him. I feel so delivered and free now. True worship is in spirit. A spirit of submission and surrender. God bless you brother. You chose the right path.

So true…suffocating is the right word there. We relocated to a country where there are no big churches and for the first time my conviction was not about how many services and events I attended, but whether or not I showed Kingdom Love to those at work who does not know Him, nor know about Him, and couldn’t even speak my language. Do they know that there must be something or someone out there that wants to include them and accept them in Love? Now that has become my conviction. All praise to Him.
@@charleneerasmus6455 Good for you my sister! All praise to our God, indeed.
Wow this was right on time. Judging from the comments, a lot of folks are feeling the same way. I left church right before covid and tried to start a small house ministry. It worked for awhile but fell apart after a year or so; it’s hard to get that church mentality out of people. “Be the church” sounds so tired and cliche, but it’s the absolute truth! I’m devoting myself to really trying to do just that. It’s pretty lonely because the sad fact is a lot of Christians just don’t want to do that. They’re ok with just “doing church”.
I’m sure the current way we do church still has a purpose for some, but I truly believe God is calling some people out of the four walls and preparing them for something new.
I have also been called out, and this message is what I received from God as I went to Malawi, Africa, to share the good news of the kingdom of God. So many there are living only a religious Christianity, but not living as Christ's disciples. I saw god do many mighty miracles and healings through us as we went in obedience to his word,, "laying hands upon the sick that they will be healed, casting out demons, and seeing very little food we Hardee's many with leftover's. It is great to get outside the four walls. God bless.
Every believer will be held accountable to God. So make sure you stay in constant contact with other believers and worship God together so you're not prone to fall into the pitfalls and temptations of Satan. Because he's waiting and plotting. 🙏
Yes and Amen! Been in the institution for a few decades and God woke me up 2 years ago, started a house church, which gave me a revelation for the church. We started a ministry www.everyjointsupplies.org which the Lord put on our heart to equip, grow and build the church like Ephesians teaches us. Thankful God has given you a vision as well!
So well said - I’m right there with you. You are not alone!
christianity is a way of life not just a routinary going to buildings. We can see it in the bible as Jesus showed us. May God continue to change our hearts and use us to model this also to others
Amen. You nailed it, brother. I'm truly encouraged to carry on what I have been called to do.
Thank you for sharing - this is very inspiring and I can see a lot of people connect with you in the comments on this. I too went through a deconstruction of my faith so I get it!
I left from Pastoring for 13 years in December 2021, after hearing the Holy Spirit tell me it was time for me to leave. I too was overwhelmed by the programs, numbers, and events, but I loved Pastoring. However,I love Jesus and I want to walk in obedience. I’m unemployed but I’m trusting the Lord has something next for me. Your video spoke an assurance that I needed. Thank you.
God bless sometimes life’s hard seems big but God us bigger
I’ve been doing this as a single mom for the last 30 years. I raised my kids up in athletics and in 2006 all three sons received football scholarships. But it was on the football fields, in high-school classrooms, in team dinner settings, and of course on the foot-ball field, I was and still am a Minister In The Marketplace. This is the new testament church in the book of Acts. Yes. “This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine.” God is good!
Bless you. I honour you for your sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears labouring as a single mom for 30 years. The Lord knows, the Lord hears, and the Lord remembers. I will remember you in my prayers tonight.

Sir Jhon, if you have time to meet the mother in this video and her husband, ask for prayer, right, because you also need to be served in God & prayed for. Jesus Christ love you sir & bless you🙏
May God bless you in your new ministry! You will discover doors opening as you be the church to your sphere of influence.
I watched, I subscribed, and I look forward to hearing what adventure the Lord has in store for you Brother. Thanks.
This video was everything to me😭I have felt this way most of my Christian walk and God has recently given me a burden to speak more about relationship with Him vs. being in church. God always sends me to workplaces to be a light in a dark place. I'm so happy to have watched this video. I'm praying for your new journey! 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Thank you for sharing Sister. I also was called out and I wrote a book that changed many lives which is all esteem to the Most High. Praying for you. Max
Just as "in the beginning," God has always been into relationships. Once you have a relationship with God, it will not be "I believe," it will be I know. I have felt the love of God on 2 occasions. Wept both times.He told me things that kept me out of trouble several times. I could go on and on!
We don't have a personal relationship with God. As powerful as God is, there is no way for any being to have a personal relationship with millions of people at the same time. We love God by our relationships with other people. The only people who had a personal relationship with Christ was his disciples. You would serve God better helping in a soup kitchen rather than sharing your beliefs. Christians have been indoctrinated by the evangelical Church. God doesn't care if you don't "witness" to others. God cares that you obey the greatest commandment. To love God and love others. And it is one and the same thing, loving others is loving God. We don't need to rescue people from a place of eternal torment invented by the Church powers to control people. That is a message of fear and that doesn't come from Christ.
You're a legend and a wonderful daughter of God, good on you. Praise the Lord that he can guide our days and be humble throughout our work
This has been my experience in the 2 years of covid. I was a volunteer church leader, involved in almost too many activities. When everything shut down, I entered into the secret place for the first time - just me and God. That’s where I learned that I was a servant, not a son. That God could rightly say p “depart from me, I never knew you.” Instead my Father brought me close, showed me things that I could only get by being in close proximity to him. He is not impressed with what I can do for Him - He wants a relationship with me. What a revelation. The world is opening back up and while I have visited the church, I have changed. No more “performance” Christianity. Not not sure what’s next but I do know I am a beloved son in whom my Father is well pleased. ♥️♥️♥️
A Good Father had two beloved sons. One always tried to earn his father's approval but never felt he obtained it. The other thought satisfaction was to be found away from his dad, and though discovering otherwise, still never understood whom he was either.
The Good Father had two beloved sons.
"God loves you, just as you are, not only as you should be. Because no one is as he should be."

This is something I never really looked at in my spiritual life, I was meant to read this. thank you for your testimony
When I was praying this morning the Holy Spirit revealed this to m the more we come closer to God the more He come closer to us you can be in the church and find out that you are far away from Him that's why He mentioned that in the bible others they only worship me with their lips whereas their minds are far away. The closer you come to Him the more you receive love peace, joy, knowledge, understanding etc. You learn to understand His word and live by it and become obedient to it.Thank you brother thank you for sharing your journey with the Lord Jesus.
This. This is exactly my journey. Word for word. I hope I could meet you in real life and talk about Jesus, the father's love and everything about the secret place with you 😭 can I be ur friend?
That's what happens 🤓👍
Listening to u has truly made a difference. U spoke what has been in my heart for many years which I keep trying to suppress...but I always come to that same point ...over and over again. I truly thank God for u. may He continue to enrich your life and ministry...much much much appreciated
Everyone has their calling. I was a nurse , NOW I’ve been writing composing & recently performing my own music about addiction. I’m grateful every day. Sending blessings from Florida🌴
Algorithm brought me here bro. You're absolutely correct. The body has needed to re-think our approach on the great commission for some time now.
What a difference to be “on mission” in our families and work places or neighborhoods rather than spending hours and hours at church in programs! Bless you as you seek His will for your ministry as He sees it!

Thank you very much for this video. Thank you for taking this step. I pray that many people will come to realize that we ourselves are the church. God bless you abundantly.
Thank you so much for this video...I was just going through almost the same convictions as you did and I prayed to God to give me the revelation...and then praise the Lord because He lead me to this video! GOD IS AMAZING!
This is an amazing testimony. While, I don’t believe in coincidences I’ve been sensing the same thing for the past two years that God is moving us back to the basics and eliminating distractions. When I first saw the title I was almost afraid to listen but so glad that I did because I am now encouraged to take the next steps and the journey I know but the first step of faith
This has been my experience as well. I believe God is saying this to many people all over the world.

Thanks for the boldness to share despite the thought that this isn't the "usuals". I'm excited to know your stories in the workplace that you'll be in. Excited know how God will be moving this time for you and the people around you. will be praying for you! 🙏
Thank you very much for sharing your walk with the Lord. I am so encouraged by your personal testimony. The Lord bless you as you journey to share the Good News outside of your comfort zone...
Algorithm is blessing me 🙏
I just wish the best for you Jon. God loves you so much.
Wow, you are speaking to everything I’ve been feeling over the past 6 months. God bless you!
Every church minister, pastor, teacher should listen REPEATEDLY to this message! We Don’t go to church WE ARE THE CHURCH!!!!! To operate out of our spiritual gifts in the MARKETPLACE where we spend 95% of our time. God Bless my younger brother. Well said , well doneJon! I can’t say enough of your message. By the way brethren when was the last time any of us ever heard a message/sermon like this or about our spiritual gifts or talents in and or outside the church walls!!! Looking so forward to your next video…
You aren't the church, or even a genuine Christian. Genuine Christians were first century Jews and non-Jewish descendants of the tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel who were dispersed among the nations, people who were dead under the law and its curse, had transitioned out of the old covenant and were restored to eternal life (a restored covenant relationship with their god) via Christ’s new covenant.
They were descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel who were being gathered into Christ before the end of the age of the old covenant religious system and temple community. That in a nutshell is what the entire New Testament is about.
They were people from the houses of Judah and Israel who believed in Jesus. They had once been under the law and its curse, were the recipients of the covenants (Rom 9:3-4) and of Christ’s new covenant (Rom 11:26-27, Heb 8:8) before the end of the age, which was in AD70.
They were both uncircumcised and circumcised Israelites who had been called in the generation read about in the New Testament. Whether they were circumcised Jews or uncircumcised Israelites (referred to as Gentiles in numerous scriptures), they were told to remain in the same condition they were called (1 Corinthians 7:18-20) because the time of the end of the age of the old covenant religious system and temple community was near.
There was no such thing as a non-Israelite Christian. There were only circumcised and uncircumcised Israelite Christians in the New Testament period, some of them referred to as ‘gentiles’ because they had stopped being Torah observant and had stopped practicing circumcision.
After the need for the gospel ended in AD70, Greek so-called ‘church fathers’ hijacked bits and pieces of ancient Israel’s redemptive narrative and adapted it to their Greek culture. Theirs was just one of many competing faux versions of what would later become an institutionalized, non-Israelite faux Christian cult that excluded Jews from its version of salvation. The ‘church fathers’ were the preeminent fake Christians and racists. It’s been a circus of error ever since.
People today who believe they’re Christians are sincere but highly indoctrinated to believe they are someone they are not, that they’re heading for a judgement that is purely imaginary and need a salvation and redemption that only old covenant Israelites needed.
@@Scruffers2011 what is your point? I don’t believe your the Holy Spirit as well. All who believe in their heart and confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord shall be saved. All who follow Christ are known as Christians. And what the good brother Jon was highlighting was the fact that All believers should be living out their faith and should be their true authentic Christ centered self outside the church walls. All ministry is full time. Each member of the body is to function as the HS has gifted them. I don’t understand the relevance of the distinctions you make!?
@@chriseliopoulos4185 nobody today is or needs to be saved. Salvation for the disciples meant [Jews] being rescued from sin (violation of the law), the curse of the law (which only Israelites had and were under), their enemies, their perverse generation and the wrath of God. Nobody today is under ancient Israel’s law so nobody today sins. The god of the bible hasn’t saved any modern day so-called ‘Christian’ from their enemies and the ‘wrath of God’ was the end of the age judgment on the twelve tribes of Israel in AD70. There is nothing left for anyone to be saved from today.
Matt 1:21 says Jesus came to save his people, which according to Mat 2:6, was Israel. Mat 15:24 says Jesus was sent ONLY for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. That’s not us. 1 Chron 17:21 says that God sought to redeem one nation (Israel), not everyone. Heb 9:15 says that redemption was for sin done under the first covenant. That means Jesus died for Israel, not us. Galatians 4:5 says Jesus came to redeem those under the law. That’s first century Jews and Israelites still under the law’s curse…not us. Paul’s mission was to the ethnos (nations) to call out the descendants of the tribes of Israel who had been dispersed among the nations, called gentiles because they had stopped being Torah observant and had stopped practicing circumcision. That’s not us. Jesus only warned Israelites of the judgement and hell (Gehenna), and only Israelites are seen in the Revelation as being saved, sealed and redeemed. From beginning to end, the bible is Israel’s redemptive narrative, not ours. People have simply tried to make it their redemptive narrative by reading themselves into the story.
The entire bible’s redemptive narrative pertains only to those who were under the law or its curse, which was all old covenant Israel, not all humanity. Their story ended in AD70. We are not broken, not guilty and not sinners. We don’t need Jesus to forgive us of anything. There is no hell for anyone today. There is no judgement for anyone today. There is no need for salvation today. We were never part of the bible story.
Post- AD70 so-called Christians have been duped by a misappropriated redemptive narrative that appeared soon after AD70. Its been a circus of error ever since.
@@Scruffers2011
No, that is absolutely ludicrous. The early Church Fathers were handed down the gospel from the Apostles, there was no racism or "cutting out" or exclusion of anyone from the message of Christ's redemptive work on the cross. This is a lie you are peddling and the idea that the early Christian Church of the 1st century comprised ONLY of Jews is not consistent with the bible, or the apostolic teachings of the early Church.
@@dman7668 If you read the letters from Clement, Irenaeus, Ignatius and Polycarp, you may notice that they sound like ancient versions of fundamentalists. They literally blather on without comprehending what they’re talking about....pulling scriptures out of their proper context....oblivious to the events or significance of the events leading up to and including AD70. They’re a mess. Many Christians today actually believe those fellows are the go-to guys for figuring out what we should believe today.
Polycarp and others who followed him were not the elect. They had no link to Old Covenant Israel, and by the time they penned their epistles, the emphasis on Israel’s salvation and redemption had already been misappropriated by people [like them] who were far from a Hebrew interpretive paradigm. In fact, they were hostile to Jews and sought to exclude them from their post-AD70 so-called gospel.
They were responsible for the resurrection of bits and pieces of Israel’s redemptive narrative, the misappropriation of scriptures that had already been fulfilled, a totally different gospel than the pre-AD70 gospel, a widened scope of salvation meant for people not under the law...people who didn’t really need salvation. They introduced the Greek concept of hell being an otherworldly place of eternal torment for all who don’t believe as they did...when before it was understood to be a metaphor for judgement only for Israelites. They also introduced yet another return of Jesus in judgement.
They were the preeminent faux Christians creating a new version of Christianity that had no power, no relevance and in reality, no god. They were master pretenders, the first Christian fundamentalist fanatics, and responsible for what led to today’s faux Christianity.
Thank you for sharing this Jon. and same as you i just stepped out of the church that i have served for 18 years for the calling that God had put in my heart. take courage, pray for each other, and let's embrace this journey of faith with God. and let us tell others how great is our God, lets tell the story about how God changes us, uses us, and give us hope.
God bless you brother! Yes there will be more stories of God's goodness as you keep going forward leading people to the Saviour.
Thanks for the encouragement! Your brave decision is inspirational. I like how you said you are bringing God to people at work place. I pray you'll have a smooth transition in your new job and continue to join this journey with God! Hope to see more videos from you!
This is really up lifting!! I thank the Lord for your conviction & saying yes to Him! I can’t wait to see what he has in store for you! I know the Lord is going to use you in a mighty way for obeying Him!!
Finally someone who answered my questions !!!!! I love it!
This is very good to hear. Praying that you will stay strong in the journey and that we all endure til the end. Bless you.
Thank you for being vulnerable and genuine. I’m looking forward to hearing more on how I can walk by faith in a practical way, specifically at home and work. Your testimony spoke to my heart. Please keep sharing.
Thank you for sharing this! I loved hearing your story and I agree that our “callings” can always change. God has placed us where He wants us for this period of time and it might not be for the rest of our lives, but that’s ok! How wonderful is it that God allows us to serve Him and love others in more than one primary way.
Well spoken brother and thanks for catching the vision!! I am 70 and am blessed to hear what i have been thinking for a long time. I had to leave my church in order to be led into where I beiieve I am suppose to be today. Keep on keeping on!! As you said....are we bringing people to church or are we taking God to the people. I am blessed to hear what I have felt for a long time. I am a first time viewer of who you are.
Great stuff I know exactly where you are coming from..thanks for the message,
Colin
Wow!!!!!! This is a testament to what God wants for His people and His church!! He is doing a new thing. No more being confined within the walls. Our church is doing the same thing!!! No big productions, no over the top special events. Just preparing the people to be like Jesus! Amen Brother. I will be on this journey with you.
This was forwarded to me by a friend. I fully understand your stance .. likewise we’ve left few churches that invested more in their programs than equipping the congregation for a closer walk with their saviour. To understand what worship truely is .. it’s more than emotional singing.. salvation and Regeneration is more than just saying a prayer.
Wise words
I heard about your video through Think Media and thoroughly enjoyed what you have shared. I have been thinking and praying about discipleship and reaching those who don’t yet know the gospel. This is thought provoking and exciting. I support your message and have shared it on.
Thank you for stepping out of the boat. It’s encouraged me today🙏🏽
This is such a testimony that really touched my heart. I have been to many churches and was feeling like you. I really thank you for this video, our Father will enlarge your territory and He will continue to shine his light through you. Be blessed and enjoy this journey our Father has blessed you with.
All glory to God. Thank you brother / Pastor Jon for sharing. Thank you for preaching others to have a beautiful heart like yours “a man after God’s own heart”. Amen 🙏
So many people are waking up to the deceptions and hypocrisy of religion. It's time we wake up and return solely back to the Creator. In it's proper Hebrew context the anointed son and firstborn of the Creator is the nation of Israel and not a single man or demigod ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 "Exodus”, HuWShuWA 11:1 "Hosea", ZaMaR 105:1-15 “Psalm” and ALaPh DaBaR 16:14-22 "1 Chronicle").
Most important information and thank you VERY much for sharing your experience and journey, I always feel I'm not serving God enough and your situation showed me God has HIS plan and I can rest in faith that HE will guide me. Blessings and happy adventures in your new job.
I pray that your heartfelt sharing continues to convict/confirm/affirm others. You didn’t say that you dealt with negative reactions and if you did not, that’s by the grace of God. Blessings 🙏🌺💕 BTW, your communication in English is excellent.
so refreshing to hear this! many of us are in this position and it's hard to explain to other christians! powerful testimony. thank you for sharing!!
You have been such a blessing to me, whatever you have said resonates with me. Thanks
Good morning brother.
I am currently at work and stumbled across this video and I have just finished watching the whole thing. Man... powerful 🙏🏽 God is so good. Thank you Lord for speaking through this man. We are the church let us all live for Christ for the king will return soon and very soon ✝️
This spoke to me... I have been asking similar questions. Thank you for sharing... I feel God is moving people from the building to be the church ♡
I was born in church (literally my mom gave birth to me at the back of the church in Nigeria). But I rememer back in 2016 when I walked away from the MEGA church and my parents thought I was backsliding; however, I felt the Holy Spirit leading me to take that move! I left and have downscaled the church i go to after and honestly have felt a move more and more, it has been life changing and life giving!! Thanks for sharing this!!
God bless you brother!! I’m so glad God led me here. This testimony will set so many free. Sometimes we limit ourselves being used by God only for pulpit/church building purposes. There’s so much more! I’m so proud of you for taking that leap of faith. I too am getting into the fields and can’t wait to see how God works through me in the workforce. May uncommon favor follow you!!
Subscribing!
Thank you Pastor for your testimony. It encourages me to serve more to God and his ministry. Wherever we are God will use us if we faithfully obey Him. 🙏🏻
I found your video today. This totally hit my heart too as a Christian. I feel God pushing me in similar direction, Thank you for sharing 🙏
As a pastor myself, I went through a very similar journey. God called me to lead a church and began showing me that the way were set up, we were not effective in making disciples. A lot of the same things you shared are what God showed me, and since then, we have focused solely on how do we make disciples and empower the priesthood of all believers. COVID helped to change my mindset also. Thanks for sharing your story because sometimes I feel like I’m crazy because not many others have the courage to make the shift they can clearly articulate needs to happen. Thanks for your courage!
encouraged to hear of your transition. God is doing a deeper work in your walk. It will not be easy. In fact, it will be very hard. But take heart. He will use you in ways you will never imagine. Keep at it. Abandon all to Him.
Amen! God gave you so many “ gifts “ thanks for sharing them to others. Congratulations! God bless! Good afternoon and stay safe. You such an amazing person.
Hi! John, it is wonderful to listen you and timely shift from net breaking and boat sinking to fishers of men in the market place. Solid encouragement from your testimony. Praise God! May the Holy Spirit lead you to intentionally discipling many for the kingdom cause.
I heard a few of your sermons on TH-cam in the past…you are definitely gifted to preach and share God’s words. Thank you for sharing this. God bless and I pray that God will lead you and provide all that you need for his kingdom 🙏🏻
This video just saved me and strongly inspired me to continue my relationship with God. Thank you. Will pray for you. ❤️
This is so encouraging and a witness for me. Thank you for your obedience .
This has to be one of the most encouraging testimonials from someone stepping out of full-time ministry. I too am planning yo take the step. I'm scared but realised that God actually is leading me. I believe this deep in my heart and I'm excited to see how He will lead. Thank you for sharing. I'm praying for you. Please give us an update!
amazing story. so inspiring listening to your path. thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼 praise God❣️
I listen and agree with you. God says to go out to the world and make disciples of all nations. We cannot wait for people to approach us, but we are to go to them and share the wonderful Gospel. Praying that you will continue steadfastly in your new direction, may God lead and guide you in the days ahead. Take care, God bless.
Wow! Exactly what I needed to hear. That's the word RESET. Lord, help us. Thank you Jon. Godbless your next journey, you are blessed! 🙏
You are truthful and you are a real disciple of God! I looking forward to hearing from you.
I needed to hear this. Thank you for your courage to take this leap. I know what you are saying. Praise God for all He is doing. He is very hard at work. And we need it to take a step into the community we all live in where the people who need Jesus live. That is where Jesus went!! We should also. God bless you sir. Praise God.
Amen! I'm praying for you Pastor Jon,I'm touched by your story,my late husband was a korean pastor and I'm so sad to say that he passed on too early because of the stress and his heart gave in..that's why I can relate to what you have experienced in the church that's so focus on the programs and activities of the church, I'm so happy for you that you obeyed Gods leading in your new journey in serving the Lord Jesus..God bless you !
I appreciate your message I dont know how I found your video, but I needed to hear this. I have been feeling this way for several years and struggled with the guilt of my feelings. You explained it perfectly and I felt like a weight was lifted off of me because I love my church family. . I do believe God put this on my heart. His ministry is in us everywhere we go because people aren't going to the church. We do have to be His church and go to the people. Thank you so much for your transparency.
Acts 4:31
My friend shared your video to me last month. However, I just watched it now. God is really good. I now understood why I watched your video now, because everything makes sense. I am also in a transition phase. Everything seems so fast. But I trust God, and I will continue to turst Him. Thank you for your message. God bless you and your work place. 😊❤🙏
I really feel that God is the one who led me into seeing this video today. Bro Jon, thank you for sharing your story and for being eager to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life. I'm looking forward to more of the videos that you will produce here, but most of all I'm praying for God to be able to use you according to His own purpose and glory alone. May God's grace and peace be upon all of us.
Great testimony Jon Ngan, I am not sure how this video found its way into my algorithm, but I appreciate what you shared, and I pray that Jesus will continue to guide you, and Holy spirit I pray for direction and purpose in my life!
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony brother! This has been such and on time confirmation message for me. You literally took the words right outta my mouth. May God continúe to bless you and I hope to see more videos of the truth soon.
Thank you for sharing your story. Very impactful! God bless you on your continued journey. 🙏
This is so true.. Almost two years ago i was a Church Fulltimer also. Exactly God spoke to me the same. I started my own business with a little doubt and intimidation because of a small voice saying that i had left my calling but hey God have been tought me lessons and confirmation to keep doing the business and He blessed me a lot. At the same time i also can started the ministry in different way and I'm glad it can blessed and reach more people. So thank you for giving me the confirmation. God bless with the new journey. Let us all do more greater things with Him and glorify Him.
PTL! Jon.
Let's share the Gospel willingly and freely.. especially at market place,etc.
Our responsibility as Believers is to share the Gospel....GOD will do the rest.
Thank you for your sharing and your desire to bring forth the good news!
Your video is really impressive, I'm living the same dilemma and you somehow were bringing some light to my thoughts. The church today is like a company mainly, pursuing numbers, people, conferences, and growth as the main objective, sometimes I felt extremely tired of this system. God bless you!
WOW, this video and channel went viral. Good for you Jon.
Wow... the tears flowing on my cheek. I thought I was alone having the same conviction. It feels great. Ps. Jon I attended your church before the covid then I stopped because I move to another state before coming back home to Sabah. Thank you for sharing. God will always be with us all
He's getting it...the Holy Spirit is working in this man's life.
I feel like God is speaking to many of us about this, I feel the exact same way. I’ve actually Ben feeling like this for many many years even before covid. My prayers is that we the church are lead by the spirit. Blessings brother and may God use you in a great way.
Powerful testimony bro. Thanks for sharing and reminding us as believers that our life is a ministry. God bless you.
Bro, we're not alone, you calling now is much more significant than you can imagine. Many blessings!
I really feel you, bro. I'm so glad you're still listening to the Holy Spirit. May the Lord continue to keep you and your family.
Hey Jon, long time! Watching this made me feel so many things. Nostalgic. Proud. Inspired. Humbled. God spoke to me through your words to not be able people at work for granted. Everyone one of them is someone I can touch through my life and ministry. Thank you for the timely words bro. Holler if u’re ever in sg :)
Beautiful story, and very well said. I honor and send you blessings in Jesus name. I believe your spot on!
