Memorize Bible scriptures, speak them, pray them, meditate on them.. They will change your life..
Yes, If the Lord does not build a house, the builder builds in vain.
I may do as I wish, but not everything is good for me.
Are there serious problems, with Exodus 21:3-20, too, and Leviticus 25:46, and Deuteronomy 21:11?
As we know, they, changed, lives. As did Matthew 27:25?
Just not, always, for the better.
Amen
Amen, wonderfully stated!!
Seriously. Why do affirmations? Just read, meditate on, and memorize Scripture. Affirmations are repackaged biblical sounding sayings that help gurus make money.
I appreciate this video Allen. This sort of issue that you are referencing with Joyce Meyer is one of if not the biggest problems in the church. It is so widespread and many professed Christians aren't discerning enough and simply take any scripture twisting as true.
Its nothing new since people pick and choose what they believe in
I love both of you Corey and Allen you guys helped me so much 🙏🏽
Both you and Allen have been a blessing for my life. Love your teachings
Came out of the WOF & P movement and so agree with your comment. I have true freedom in Christ Jesus without this new age spirituality mixed in along with some Christian beliefs and the mention of Jesus. Another Gospel??
With all these churches and TH-camrs disagreeing on scripture, who is right and who is wrong?
If you say you go by the Bible, and they say they go by the Bible, who is right and who is wrong?
A bunch of hard hearted stiff neck people who proclaim to speak for God.
Did God call you to lead His people?
Thank you Allan for lovingly steering people away from bad teaching/doctrine. God's word is far too precious to carelessly read and teach (like many teachers do).
So many professing Christians read and listen to these teachings and promote them to others. I don't know how many times she has been recommended to me and I just politely say I disagree with her on a lot of things. It is extremely difficult for me to tell another Christian that they are wrong. So thank you Allen Parr for this video. I am going to share it with them now. Explained it perfectly!😍
I think Joyce by & large is trying to teach Christians how to live biblically. Yes, there are things she is off on. However, if we are mature Christians, we can listen & be encouraged by the biblical things she does teach in a very unique way with the gift God has given her & with her life experience. The unbiblical parts we can say, no that isn't right.
My sister who is a new Christian likes to listen to Joyce for basic teaching on how to live as Jesus wants us to with very basic biblical principles. I listen as well & as a mature believer, I can share with my sister where Joyce is a bit off on some things. Eat the meat, spit out the bones & don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Discernment in all things so that we can help those around us new to the faith w/out discouraging them as they begin their walk with Jesus.
What if you are using affirmation for sports in competition for high performance?
nice your teaching
@@barbs1298 there is plenty of better Bible teachers, who don't teach false doctrines.
@@the_alchemy_method I guess it would depend on what affirmations you are using.
Thank you so much for this posting. "DISCERNMENT" is needed
Sadly sister most people don't even understand what discerning or discernment is. They just blindly believe anything with the word Christian on it.
I’ve spoken with friends of mine who love Joyce Meyer, and the #1 reason they give me as to why they continue to follow her is because they say her teachings have helped them. The problem with that thinking is these people don’t bother using discernment, nor do they actually study their Bible.
Same! The other one that I hate hearing about is the Jesus Calling books that claim to be the channeled words of Christ. People fawn about how these helped them grow but it’s bad fertilizer to put it mildly.
exactly....people find it easier to hear someone tell them what to do than to read the Bible themselves. Mind blown.
Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So they will turn their ears away from the truth"
Same here!
How does one argue with their perception that they’ve been helped by her? People go where they feel they are finding help.
It's another gospel
This channel is definitely for Christians wanting to grow/mature. You don't hold back. Glad God led me here cause I'm always getting clarity on things
I agree 🙌🏾🙌🏾
When you falsely set ppl up to *win* and they don't succeed, they end up questioning their faith, leaving or wrongly expecting that nothing bad can happen to them. He is not a genie or magic taIisman
Amen
Amen!
It's very weird to think God does not want you to win in life. If he does not want you to win, then why pray for him to help you?
AMEN
It also means their being tested by God. Those who listen to false teachers and false prophets over the word of God/Holy Spirit over time prove they don’t love God but their lives in this world more.
“If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you, and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul. You are to follow the Lord your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.”
Deuteronomy 13:1-4 BSB
Love how the majority of these "affirmations" don't allow any room for God's sovereignty. Thank you for making the content you do brother Allen
It doesn’t, they tryna make the verses mean what they want them to mean
Very good point.
I am not reformed nor a calvinist and I highly agree with this statement. My charismatic brothers and sisters are making us look so bad with their word of faith, faulty doctrine and unsound theology. Lord help us 🙏🏽
God and his sovereignty revealed to us his inspired word therefore whatever his word declares is in agreement with his Sovereign will for our lives so the key is to properly interpret scripture in its context understand its meaning and then we can apply sound biblical principles from those passages to our lives.
One rule of hermeneutics is that there is one interpretation but many possible applications to each Passage
Therefore as long as a sound biblical principle is applied in an affirmation or what I would call a biblical confession or faith Declaration then there is no problem to it... it's actually a good thing and can be part of renewing our minds to the Word of God...aligning ourselves to God's will...taking captive every thought to Christ...building and releasing our faith in agreement with scripture.
@@yesthejets3377 Exactly! They'll try and twist a verse like Ephesians 6:5 -- "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ." Just because the Bible condones slavery doesn't mean it's acceptable now. Morality is subjective and improves as humans evolve.
Thank you for talking about this and I actually find your passion refreshing. Before I was born again, I was a kinda Christian. Never read the Bible minus a handful of times where id read passages. I loved Joyce Meyers and Jesus Calling. Now I am reading the Bible daily and getting properly water baptized this weekend and seeing how we can be led astray in our faith. I really enjoy your teachings so I can be well informed and learn how to have discernment.
Psalm 23 is the perfect affirmation to chant every morning!
Chanting is not smart
@@kat-75 sing it then
Mr. Parr I can not thank you enough! I need to be using my discernment better than I do!! I learned a lot from this video.Thank you very much!!
Affirmations are key to good mental health. A positive self talk
It's OK to have Confidence, but there can be a fine line between that and the sin of Pride. It can come in many forms. Also these affirmations are Self Serving. We are here to Serve God First, and our Fellowman. Jesus Came to Save, He Followed and Obeyed His Father, Even Unto death. He Also Came to Serve, His Father and us. He Took on the Role of being His Father's Servant, as we Should Also. He Taught us How to Live In Righteousness and Uprightness In God's Sight.
@@viviennejordan215 they’re not self serving. It’s really pathetic how so called Christian’s want to demean those who know their worth and label it as pride. No wonder why the abuse and mental illness run rampant
I find praying helps me more than anything and reading the Bible .
Thank you for your service in ministry. I have grown so much since I started Listening to you in 2019. I have left an old church that was centered on self and I have found a church that is centered on God! Thank you for your teachings and I praise the Lord who is working through you!
I grew up in a Baptist Church and no, we did not do affirmations like this. But I do remember, being in my late twenties, and learning for the first time that we're supposed to read the Bible in context. This was a revelation to me, I never knew this before. Before I literally thought that I could read a Bible verse and it applied to me. Now I know better and I ask myself some questions before I attempt to use a Bible verse for my own well-being. The main place that I draw Bible verses from to apply to my own life are the Psalms, because I believe they are prayers written for every Christian. I also applied the words of Jesus in the New Testament of course. I also try to apply the wisdom of the Old Testament. The verses there may not be speaking about me, but we can learn a lot of wisdom and about our heritage from those verses
But most of the bible verses apply to you. You try to prevent disappointment the human way and so your mindset is closer to an orphan, than a beloved child.
It's pretty easy, when someone has the answer, so you can deal with the fact, that some miracles doesn't become visible.
It's challenging, when God says "I want you healthy, powerful, not poor" and the circumstances communicates the opposite.
@somethinggood so good! I became a Christian knowing right away that scripture was written to an audience for that specific point in time and that principles could be applied today. However, it took a lot of time to learn the context and audience for different books especially in the OT. I think that is so important to be in a biblically sound church. And get in a good Bible class. So many ppl rd the Bible like it is a wishful book rather than a true record of God’s overall plan for redemption. Only then could I see the principles and get excited about what God had in mind for all of mankind.
@Rob Friedrich can you show me in the bible where God says "I want you healthy, powerful, not poor." Because there are some places that I know are in the Bible that day the opposite. (Not necessarily the opposite, but that we aren't necessarily called to be powerful and rich)
@@robfriedrich2822 I'd like to maybe know how many African slaves were told that, myself.
And also, how quickly. It seemed not always, equally, urgent.
Wow thanks for this comment. It answers a lot of questions i had.
I admit, I find JM motivating at times. She has helped me see things from a more positive place when I'm stuck in a rut. That being said, I do have discernment and I can sift thru her teachings. Will I recommend her teachings to a new Christian, no I will not. Do I find myself seeking out others before Joyce, yes I do!
That all being said we need to use wisdom and discernment with ANYONE preaching the Word! We are all human and foulable, no matter how hard we try we still miss the mark and we need to even back up what our favorite pastor, Bible teacher, Sunday school teacher, etc...with the word of God. Jer 29:11 is a perfect example of how many do not fully read the context of scripture. They pull out a pretty verse not reading what it says before and after. We see cherry picking all the time when the pharisee judge believers and non believers alike. At the end of the day we must pray for wisdom, discernment and eyes to see the truth in ourselves as well as others.
MUCH agreed!
Amen to that🙏
Well said
Yes, I like what you've said here. Wisdom and discernment with everything we hear, even if it's our beloved pastor, favourite preacher, or someone we "normally" agree with! This is often what is missing, people tend to forget to discern stuff it seems sometimes.
The question that needs to be asked too is if she and many other pastors are encouraging their congregations and thousands who watch online to read their Bibles. Some have their platforms and lean off that as their meat when all they're actually getting is the milk of their faith
Thank you, Allen, for your Biblical teachings. We need to go by what the Lord says, not what we want Him to say. I’ve learned so much from you….
The thing is the bible had been edited throughout history, so what is the true word of the bible
“Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters, for you know that we [who are teachers] will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly].”
James 3:1 AMP
😮😮😮
To be honest, that's probably one of the scariest verses in the bible. It's always in the back of my mind even though I'm not called to ministry.
Thank you
Amen!
May the Lord have mercy on reckless teachers.
🗣️BRING IT OUT!!
Blessings From Texas 🤠
I think there is a difference between meditating on scripture/reflecting on it during times of trouble and affirming something based on what you want to happen.
I really love the contextual biblical application in this and many other videos brother Allen. It takes us from superficial understanding to a higher level of discernment which is a blessing. Keep it going!
Bring the passion brother, bring the knowledge. You have amazing content and I feel the love you have for Christ!
Thank you brother Allan . Great teaching today growing up in a Pentecostal church I cannot tell you how many times I spoke these affirmations. When you seek truth God will Provide the truth .
I appreciate your humble down to earth discussions on these topics. Easy to understand and biblically based. Thank you 😊 💓
Yes, I like Allen's discussions too. Haven't agreed on everything he's said but a lot of it, good to hear different points of view (each point of view claims they are being "Biblical" even though people differ widely on interpretations of reading the same scriptures, Allen included and other people he comments on! Always seek God for what you read and never just rely on anyone's view or opinion whether it be Joyce M or Allen himself! Read and pray for the spirit to reveal and study further to be sure what you "think" you have heard!
Thank you Alan, I was into saying affirmations daily and I found it hard work. These were ones from Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen and Oprah. I stopped saying them a few years ago and it felt great not having to say them over and over. I enjoy listening to you. Blessings from England.
Believing in the Word of God and reciting The Word of God over your life- is affirming it.
Thank you for this. Have been really working on my discernment these past few years. When my little alarm goes off, I am led to find that scripture and read for myself- a few verses before and a few verses after.
My brother God is always good .. I just had a discussion on this exact topic yesterday and hearing this message encouraged me 🙏🏽
This is good, I think you should also do a video about books with prayer decrees & spiritual warfare prayers that borderline sound like the Christian version of witchcraft ☝🏽
Hi Allen, your teaching is 100% ON. Thank you for bringing the intentionally deceptive teaching by certain famous "teachers". I am a 79-year-old believer and find it difficult to discover solid ground teachers such as yourself. Thank you for teaching truth. You are a blessing to many.
Amen to that.
Almost 100%. I was shocked to hear he does not agree with Mark 16:17-18. Jesus is not a liar.
This teaching is so needed. I hear people all the time misquoting Scripture in ways that I find to be very problematic. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for the video. More ministers need to be more discerning as well. We also have to line up what we seek and pray for with God’s will.
I love your bold teaching of proper discernment of the scriptures, it resonates with me! Thank you and always be bold!
My brother, glory to our lord Jesus Christ for all the great things he is doing through your teaching. We need more of that in this generation that we are living in. Much respect to you and your family 🙏 God bless you.
Thank you for this video, lately I’ve been struggling with some personal things. One of my affirmations is “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, (phillipians 4:13) meaning there’s nothing Jesus can’t take me through, even this tough time. Another is “ if I ask anything in His Name He will do it” (John 14:14) I am asking Him for strength, discernment, wisdom, and guidance. I’m not guessing whether or not He will help me, according to His words, I believe and act as if He is already helping me.
April, you are one of the first Christians I have seen actually using that verse correctly. That is EXACTLY what Paul was really saying: I can ENDURE all things through Christ who gives me strength. That’s what he is talking about in context, and it’s encouraging to hear you saying that encourages you in the right way.
How about keeping his Holy commandments
@@israel4reel787 Christ has abolished in Himself the mosaic law as a means of justification by satisfying the holy requirements through His death. We are now saved by grace alone and our righteousness is of Christ.
@@aprilcumberbatch2958 Now April do you have one Bible scripture that matches what you just made up 🆙
@@israel4reel787 Ephesians 2:13-16 (LEB): 13 But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh, 15 invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, thus* making peace, 16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, killing the enmity in himself.
I'm confused. IIf Isaiah 53 is not about physical healing, then why was Matthew 8:16-17 written? "That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and HEALED ALL WHO WERE SICK. THIS WAS TO FULFILL WHAT WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET ISAIAH: “HE TOOK OUR ILLNESSES AND BORE OUR DISEASES.”
Matthew 8:16-17
True
Thank you Allen, I’ve been watching you for years and you have helped me grow my biblical discernment through the holy spirit. I respect your teaching.
Happy and Blessed Sabbath everyone, enjoy the rest and enjoy the time with your family and friends
Happy Sabbath
The book of Hebrews speaks of ANOTHER DAY, called TODAY. We can enter into the never-ending spiritual rest found in Christ TODAY. A mere 24-hour physical rest is no comparison to the eternal rest found in the person of Jesus. “Come unto me...”.
@@jonasaras "" Remember "" the Sabbath day keep it holy., The fourth commandment why would GOD say Remember it then change his mind , that does not make sense, Why would he make it part of the ten commandments then delete it from them , yet he says. . Heaven and earth will pass away before one jot or tittle shall change from the law till all be fulfilled, Has everything been fulfilled yet No. If GOD can change the law then there was no need for JESUS to die. Yes we will have eternal rest in JESUS after his second coming when he takes us to our mansion which he has prepared for us ,
Don’t ever change who you are in Christ for anyone! Remain the same no matter what others do. Continue to teach the unadulterated word of God
Excellent, Brother. Blessings to all the Saints. Prayers for our loved one left behind. Maranatha
So grateful for how God is using you to spread wisdom and discernment, Allen! Great video! Thank you! I’ve been benefitting from your videos more than I can explain here- for years!
WOW, bro you have shown me some truths that I have tried to understand for years and the fact that you’ve clearly shown me through the scriptures is surely sent from God. Thank you so much and I am so encouraged to discern what is being taught in this world. Please continue to do what you do thank you
Thank you for clarity brother. At first glance it seems that you are attacking these "pastors", but when you get down to it, you're exposing the wolves. 🙏☝️💪🔥👑
Context and discernment is critical in understanding the Bible and our responsibilities as believers in Christ. Thank you Pastor Allen for breaking things down biblically and with grace using proper understanding.
I’m so glad that you explained about the Affirmations, now I have a better understanding concerning how people take the scriptures to fit their circumstances! Thanks!
This is the content I need! Explanations, how to look deeper into the word. Practical knowledge!
Thank you for these videos. Very well explained. As someone who had these types of teachings used against me in Spiritual abuse it helps to see someone else speaking out against it. I'm glad you brought up the part of laying hands and they will recover. I had that one especially used against me after a disabling accident and was told that they laid hands on me I should be healed and that I was not a Christian because I wasn't healed. I know God can heal me if and or when He chooses but if not then I've learned to be content with very little and do my best to do things. Over the last 3yrs since I got away from that previous community I've had more and more that people notice that even though I battle with my disabilities they see something different in me and ask me why and how I'm able to deal with things when (in their own words) they've got less to battle than me. God has opened up opportunities to share my faith and the Gospel with the hurting, hopeless and lost. I pray to be able to continue to be faithful til the end and plant seeds and hopefully be able to lead others to Christ.
Amen! Thank you, that you speak out those true things in front of many people. It's really helping a lot of people! God bless you! ❤️
Once again, great video. I have learned so much by following you and all your teachings. I agree with everything that you said in your videos.
Parr, you are needed in this hour. Keep preaching the Word.
Thank you for taking the time to pick these apart, it's important❤️
Thank you for your passion for the spiritual well-being of fellow Christians. Your boldness, wisdom and discernment are a blessing to many of us.😊🙏🙌
I love Joyce Meyer, and she is as much of a great Christian lady as any TH-cam 'minister' that has their own interpretation of scripture.
He seems to have personal hatred toward Joyce. All this guy is doing is standing as a God and judging the woman of God.
I just feel that he’s taking what she says or means out of context. Who is he anyway? Is he a pastor? Or like you and I making a video. I don’t want to sound disrespectful, I’m just wondering. Cause this is the second video that’s had me questioning his words..
She has done more for Christians, orphans, and people in need than any so called TH-cam Watchmen, preacher, evangelist, or ministry there is.
Another masterful lesson, it couldn’t be made any clearer. Love you brother, keep up the “God” work.
I just found your TH-cam channel and I am so blessed by it; I have seen many things you talked about in the church and it has been very disheartening; I am so glad there are godly people who teach solid Word of God!
Right on brother! Keep on telling it like it is. How my heart burns within me as I hear the truth proclaimed in all fulness and glory!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ..
Amen! He Lives Within us and Through us. The Holy Spirit Changes us, to Become More Like Jesus. We Don't Need self help/self promotion, we Need Jesus. Less of us, More of Jesus.
Thanks so much for this video and pointing out these particulars, Allen. I discovered in my church's library a small section of Joyce Meyer's books and that concerned me. Now I have a concise tool to share with the librarian, so if she will consider removing these books.
I have been watching your videos all day as I do my Bible study and work. I agree with a lot that you have been saying in all the ones I have seen. I love how you bring things out in biblical context and how you research them. They are definitely encouraging me to do my own research
Brother I thank you for always clarifying the gospel to us. My prayer has been to get more knowledge, wisdom and decrement and not have itchy ears.
THANK YOU for sharing this video. I think this topic is very much needed in the Body Of Christ. Very helpful video. Also, I appreciate you speaking with comparisons towards God's people. I would encourage you to continue to keep teaching the truth with the love of Christ towards all people.
With you in Christ,
Pastor Charles
Thank you for persistently bringing us back to the Scriptures.
Thankful for these spiritual teachings
I like your teachings on line. God bless and keep you.
PREACH, BROTHER! PREACHHHHHH! I love this too much! 👏🏼😆
I, too, relate to your passion for the Word of God and NOT TAKING IT OUT OF CONTEXT TO BENEFIT OUR HUMAN SELFISH NEEDS
Please explain the context of Mark 16:16-18. It seems clear to me these are the signs that will accompany us who believe. I don’t see any other context, but maybe I’m missing something.
Allen - you are right on the money on this one. It truly breaks my heart to hear Christians say how much they love the teachings of Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. I do not believe that people who actually read the Bible and study it for themselves can follow these teachers. You are correct - discernment is the key and that comes from reading the Word, studying it, and growing in your walk with the Lord.
Thank you for all you do, Allen - it is a privilege to support your ministry.
That was so kind of you! Thank you so much for that encouragement!
What is wrong with Pastor Joel Osteen? He has spoken hope so many times in my life when I wanted to give up!
Nkiruka, If You're a Christian and belong to a Church, do they Read and Quote Scripture, do the Congregation Have, and Read Their Bibles Along With The Pastor? Do they have Bible Study, to Help You Understand God's Word? Do They Pray For Others, Support each other, Pray for themselves at home, for What they Need Spiritually, as well as For God's Provision? Do they Worship God Together, Give Him Thanks and Praise? If Not, it's Not a Church. Self Promotion is Not of God. Self seeking Is Not of God. Jesus Came to Save us, to Serve God His Heavenly Father First, and Serve man, our Fellowman, Humankind. He Took on the Role of Servant, Which is what we are, if we are Christians.
Nkiruka, Jesus Is our Hope, For Salvation, For the Gift of Eternal Life. The Only Way to Heaven, No 'Good Works' Can Save us, Only Accepting Jesus as our Saviour, Trusting and Relying Only on Him, Not the things of this world. Jesus Taught us, How to Live, In Righteousness and Uprightness In God's Sight. Being of the self, of the flesh, Will get You to the lake of fire for eternity. Accept Jesus as Your Saviour, Trust.and Rely on Him, Turn and Repent of sin, Be Reborn Anew In Jesus, Become a New Creation in Christ Jesus. God Bless You, Lead and Guide You In Righteousness, and Grant You Strength, Peace, Joy, Comfort and Healing, In Jesus Name, Amen!
Nkiruka, This is a Good Godly Channel to Learn God's Word and Understand it. I also Recommend In Touch Ministries, they do a Daily Devotional, and Sermons. Dr Charles Stanley, the Pastor, has Passed On, But what a Blessing, we have His videos to watch.
God healed me of breast cancer & COVID 19. By his stripes we are healed. He sent his word to heal us.
I always thought that as long as the affirmations line up with Scripture (in context, of course), they are good. Thanks for confirming.
Thank you, Allen, for your ministry! I've seen a lot of people hurt by these affirmations in the WofF churches we used to attend, specificaIly the healing affirmations. They trust in these confessions and don't face reality and a lot of times end up dying because they refused medical treatment. Right off the bat I can think of two friends who died because they refused medical treatment while trusting in their affirmations.
Thank you so much for your sound doctrine!!
Very good video. Thanks for going through all of that. It is good to know these things about certain teachers. Good job.
Thank you! This was on point! I've been saying what you said about Jeremiah 29:11 but people are quick to tell me I'm wrong. I knew I wasn't all along but people believe what they want to believe.
Don't apologize for being BOLD. You have be when telling the TRUTH!
He should apologize for Mark 16:16-18. Jesus is not a liar. I am shocked he doesn’t believe these signs accompany us who believe.
I appreciate your channel so much. Thank you!
Thank you for knowing and growing in scripture! I agree we should know the word of God understand the meaning and mature in the understanding.
I really enjoy your videos and the way you teach. Keep doing what your doing! Thank you for laying out biblical truth!
I just spoke about this with my sister some minutes ago. She said while she was in university, her fellowship always made them say an affirmation " Money shall locate me this week" every Sunday.
Red Flags!
That's soooo funny. What kind of person believes "money shall locate me this week"
Whatsoever you lay your hands to shall PROSPER.
Thank you for this video, I needed to hear this. Sometimes I lose faith by trying to fulfill false teachings. It’s my own fault for not testing it against scripture.
You're not being arrogant, Allen, you're just speaking the truth! And I am glad you are. So many people are falling victims to these traps of false doctrines
It's as if there's little differentiation between New Age and so called "New Christianity". We need to learn He is the Master. We are the servants. We should not attempt to manipulate the Lord as if He's a genie in a bottle.
Yes indeed. The spirit behind the new age can find itself in the church too and needs to be driven out by the Truth.
There are serious problems with a lot of stuff about Joyce Meyers
I was just about to post that. But since you did I will just say agreed haha
The singles group at my former church uses Meyer’s teachings routinely for “wisdom.” This is why I call it my “FORMER” church.
@@LILJROD90 haha amen
@@TVHouseHistorian good for you. You got out of it.
Like what?
Brother Parr keep up the good work. This is not “peaking” at them. This is exposing false doctrine and exposing false teaching.
Preach it, Allen! Thanks for your straightforward message.
What a respectful and honest correction..... good job preach
Very solid video. Keep up the good work!
Discernment is needed, especially in this time.
I praise God for your gift of discernment! Keep the Holy Spirit flowing through you, brother!
Yes for the most part I agree with what he says. I was shocked to hear he does not agree with Mark 16:17-18. Jesus is not a liar.
Your videos are amazing!😁❤️🤗
Great vid Allen. Keep the babes in Christ informed. 🙏🏽💯
Thank you SO much for this video. As much as it might not seem like it, people hype themselves up way too often reciting lots of different verses about prosperity and just get it completely wrong as it relates to the context. I think this is a much needed wake up call (as one usually experiences when actually reading through the whole bible). Thank you thank you thank you!
Love this! Sharing this video with others! God Bless Bro Allen!
I cannot because he does not agree with Mark 16:16-18 which doesn’t make sense to me. Why would he not believe this? Jesus said it himself & many other scriptures confirm this.
Would LOVE if you could do a video on vaccines!
It's an important topic for Christians. I know many Christians on opposite sides. Knowing about the fetal cells, do you think God would be okay with vaccines? I just have wondered your Christian stance and have been hoping you would speak on this! :)
I love Joyce Myers. She and Charles Stanley are the only ones on TV I listen to.
I agree. But a friendly suggestion, Charles Stanley's son (Andy Stanley) can't be trusted. Andy Stanley is sadly not a biblical teacher like his dad.
As a New Christian, i watched Joyce and others that I don't watch Now. Because I Also watched Holy Spirit Filled Pastors, Who Led me to The Truth of God's Word.
I like Joyce, I’ve been a Christian for most of my life and I never felt she lead me astray.
Its not about feelings, its about what the Word of God says
When I feel overwhelmed by a situation, I think of my favorite verse Philippians 4:13. When I feel small and insignificant, and the giant before me seems so big. I remind myself that I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me. The rain will come, I will experience hurt, and loss. But through Christ my weakness is made strength, and knowing that has gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life.
Amen
Thanks brother Allen for reminding us to be as the Bereans and search the scriptures and see if these things are true. I will have to go through all my affirmations and make sure they’re biblical. Thanks for teaching us how to be discerning.
Thank you for your wisdom and making things plain. I know that there are other good speakers, but in my spirit I know that I can trust your teaching ❤ please continue to let God lead you 😊🙌
Hi Allen! Would you be able to make a video on boundaries & if they are truly biblical? Thank you!
I appreciate that you emphasize using proper context to interpret Scripture!
When dealing with prosperity verses. What is the context of prosperity? Are there other forms of prosperity besides monetary prosperity/riches? MPA(my personal answer)is yes there are; emotional/ mental richness of a family that has the Blessings of God
