As you were speaking I felt in my spirit, that God allows people to be deceived or believe certain things, to serve his purposes. Sometimes that is hard for people to comprehend. I'm in total agreement that it is essential to call out any falsifies, that go against biblical truths.
Interesting you should say this...there is a verse in the bible that says people shall be deceived by the multitude of their idols, signifying that we open ourselves to deception by desiring idols in our hearts. The deception is a test of honesty and desire to serve God by rejecting the idols we have, if we desire the idols more then we fail the test, however we can rise again in repentance and start over by God's grace.
I totally agree with everything you've said. I have been through trauma, and rejection being part of the church system. I cannot be part of it any longer. I found the truth by reading God's Word and I am now free. The Lord bless you.
Richard : Amen ! Exactly ! A preacher can be sincerely wrong! The problem, serious in my opinion, is when this pastor sincerely teaches his error to thousands of equally sincere Christians who sincerely trust this preacher! There, it becomes very dangerous. Can the Lord let this kind of dangerous situation happen? be blessed
Don’t trust in preachers. Trust in Jesus!!! Edit: Pastors can be helpful and they are to plant seeds and water them. However, it is God that is responsible for our growth(1st Corinthians Chapter 3 Verses 6-7). Pastors can be a good influence to our faith, but we shouldn’t bet on them 100 percent. The only one we can trust 100 percent is Jesus Christ.
@Metamorphfitness-cj8wn ✝️ 2Corinthians 11:13-15 - For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

One of the main things i see with the pastors . And it is glaringly obvious in church history that they start out well, become compromised with sin, and stay in the office. And have people around them who are just as wicked supporting them condoning what they do.
In these last days it’s what some people who like 2 Timothy 4 :3 states they will not put up with the wholesome teaching but according it their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears ‘tickled’ . They will turn away from listening to the truth and give attention to false stories. Some do not want to make the changes needed to please our creator so they want to hear only that they are ok with their chosen lifestyle
"Catholicism" was Ruined for me in 2021, when the Bishop and parish priest decided to have a "Cultural Exchange" with a African pagan funeral ceremony. This ceremony include the beheading of a live chicken, inside the church walls. I verbally and loudly objected. The assistant priest asked me to leave and the head priest Banned me from that "church". Because I Stood UP for Christ and Stood Against palo mayombe-that's what the assistant priest called this ceremony. 3 years on, I'm still Banned from that church and STILL waiting for the Letter of Excommunication from the Bishop. The assistant priest told me and my elderly mother are Banned from the entire Diocese?! I, so far, have never received any reply for the Bishop's Office. Despite numerous letters, emails and requests for an audience with the Bishop. Respectfully ... "Catholicism" SUCKS. It seems the Church is more concerned with inviting paganism into its walls, rather than saving souls and "getting right with God" I'm, Happily Protestant and Will Never go back-the humiliation my mother experienced is unforgivable and both that "Bishop and that so called "priest" need to be Excommunicated and Fired, in my view!
@@lionoffireraw Thank you, but on the Plus side ....The Bible reveals Christ to me a lot Clearer, than listening to Homily's, back in that former Church! And .... I like your presentations- your message is clear and precise, may our Lord Bless you!!
I was at the funeral of my wife's aunt and the clergyman spoke of how good a woman she was and all the rest, Then the wheels started to fall off it when he said jokingly there was one night in the week when she liked to have- it to her self to sit and watch soap opera's, this is not the gossip of the holy spirit BUT spirit of anti Christ, and all the people are taking in by it. They just can't see that they are being blind sided by the Devil 👿.
This is the problem with seeksensitive churches. Instead of preaching the gospel, They preach self-help and they preach.Good feelings.And they preach all about the social gospel and how we need to help others. They leave out the hard things: the cross, Repentance, and the awful reality of hell. This is not doing the people a service.
Good word! I love my pastor but there are times when he speaks some things that are “word of faith”. It’s a fairly large church, not close to a means church, and we’ve only been there 3 1/2 years and don’t know the pastor personally, so I don’t have a voice with him. I have asked the LORD what to do and HIS reply is, for the time being, stay and pray for him. There are Christians who believe anything/everything their pastors say, without checking it against the WORD. So, for now, we stay and pray and wait on HIM to tell us when and where to move. It’s all in HIS timing.
Hi Victoria, two things: One, May I ask what you mean by "Word of Faith " church? I'm so tired of getting it wrong... Do you mean like Kenneth Hagin, and if so, what is wrong about him? Two, are you in the USA, because I went to school with a Vicky Clark! 😆
I trusted in the Lord of Jesus Christ as my personal savior into my heart through faith alone, and not of works, by accepting his free gift of salvation, by his grace on February 16, 1996, each day, I confess sins for process of sanctification, to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior, please refer to Matthew 10:28, John 3:16-18:36, 5:24, 6:37:47, 10:27-29, 14:6, Acts 2:38, 16:30-31, Luke 15:10, Romans 1:16, 3:23, 4:5, 6:23, 10:9-10:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, and Titus 3:5. God bless the world, and thank you for sharing.
I was a WoF preacher for years, but i was decieved, i thought it was true, i got saved amongst WoF christians, my heart was truly for God and i would often ask God to show me any error in my life but any anti WoF preachers i checked out were also false teachers of cessionist and calvinism, they were also nasty and elitist so i ignored them. Eventually i read a book by a former WoF teacher who scripturally exposed the errors and was also fair and humble in his approach, he also had a fellow minister who showed how the WoF Departed from the early church fathers such as irenaeus, justin martyr, polycarp. The guys book opened my eyes and i renounced the WoF. I was initially furious about how i was decieved by the WoF and how many years i apparently wasted, i was hurt for a long time but i am over it now and forgiven them. I read my bible without the indoctrination of WoF now and constantly refer to early church disiples such as polycarp, justin martyr, irenaeus, clement and other early disciples before the Roman Catholic church existed.
@Metamorphfitness-cj8wn I was talking with you about trusting pastors and I saw your comment here and had a question if you don't mind: Can you please maybe provide a reference or book about Word of Faith teaching and why it's wrong, because I'm pretty sure I've been indoctrinated with that but I guess I'm not sure... because the teaching was always backed up by scripture, but obviously, people manipulate God's word. 😵💫 I just want to get it right for Pete's sake!
@@dianemoore8289 hello Diane, yes, the book I read was from Amazon by a guy named Mel Montgomery and his book is called the SEVEN LAWS OF BALANCE. It showed me some of the main errors of the Word of Faith teachings. All the best 👍
@@dianemoore8289 By the way, Assemblies of God is a good balanced church in general, some of the WoF teachers came from AoG but got into error as a result of leaving it.
Saying these pastors are not evil, just deceived makes you deceiving yourself also and have not simply chosen to be saved, converted redeemed and born again from above in the spiritual Church of Christ. You are still carnal mind in the flesh!!! Because if you had been born again in the spiritual Church of Christ, the Holy Spirit, Christ, would have become your witness that you have been chosen to be saved. Logically speaking, where do you think the Holy Spirit enters and resides in flesh bodies except into our invisible minds? The same mind before He entered anyone, where the human race can learn anything. The same place where He can become our Teacher and not man. At least, you should know it's not my opinion but plainly written in the scriptures! Am I the only one the Holy Spirit entered and resides in my mind after I was chosen to be saved? Of course not. But it certainly feels like it. Because ever since He entered and resides in me, nobody wants to hear me except the person that read the Bible out loud to me back in 1987. Anyway, whoever you are, you are deceiving yourself or been deceived by the fallen into apostasy believer churches who calls themselves Christians for centuries until today!!! ❤️😭
