I'm not a church going guy or a Christian.However this Pastor showed what leadership is.Humble and strong.Most men would have came unglued and lost it that night.Great leader!!
Wow! God is so good. I'm glad that they got their church back. When you learn the whole story it's amazing that God delivered them from the wickedness of the greed of all of those people who schemed to take over this church. I'm appalled that his dying mother was even hid from him. God has the final say and this has given me strength to deal with the demonic forces that are trying to derail my career, income, etc.
I have learned from Bishop in this matter ...Don’t cuss yell scream or fight let the Lord fight your battles ....WOW LOOK AT GOD...I AM SO GLAD THEY GOT THEIR BUILDING BACK AMEN
That Corpal came walking in the Church like he was ready to do some foolishness. But God, Had someone standing in the Gap To shut those policemen down. Glory!!!! Glad You All Got your Church Back... Pastor Amen
I'm glad that Pastor Peebles could return to his own church that his late mother & father organized, started, and was left to him. Pastor Joel has some serious faithful prayer warriors & members on his side. And did anyone notice in the video that 1 police officer who was continually walking around in the sanctuary while prayer was going on? The officer wanted to join in on the prayer so badly, but he realized that he was there to do a job yet he wanted to desperately be in that prayer circle more than anything. Congratulations to Pastor Joel Peebles on returning to his church that was given to him not only by his parents but by God as well.
My prayers are with u all...keep praising our God right in the midst of adversity and in the face of the enemy!! Let God arise and EVERY enemy be scattered!!!
Thank God for this man of God...Pastor Joel!! I have not had the priviledge to meet him and his lovely wife in person...YET, but I am overjoyed to much to be saddened by what I have seen and read..reason is because of the level of maturity, self-control and the love of God this man and his ministerial staff has exemplified during this ordeal!! God has no other choice but to allow this to work in y'alls favor!! Keep being an example of integrity Pastor Joel...I know God and ur mother are proud!!
The music in the background when the police officers started walking in is all I needed. It use to be my church until all that drama started right after her death, but I am glad it's all over now and he back
Pastor Peebles... NJ is praying for you and your congregation... my cousin J. Riley is a member of your church and I pray God will prevail in the end... I also pray this be a lesson for all churches to have in place the successor of a ministry in writing... Rev. Kareem
I have walked in those shoes. I realized that the souls of the people I led were more important than ME "winning." I walked away and I'm the better for doing so
This is not a war of words. I agree with you Toby. Most tongue speakers completely ignore Paul's writing about tongues. Disobedience and church tradition is tearing the church down. We need to listen to Yahweh's words in the book and follow. Shalom!
The City of Praise FM under the leadership of Bishop Joel R. Peebles Sr and our true board took control of our Landover MD property (Jericho City of Praise) on 8/10/15. The first service back at the property was 8/30/15. It's estimated that 8,000 people was in attendance. Glory to God!
PRaise God for Bishop Peebles example of loving people to regardless of what they do and that's why God brought them back to this holy ground. I can't wait to visit this church, such a powerful example of Love of Jesus Christ.
"What God has joined together LET no man put asunder" refers to marriage, but it also refers to instances like this. You can't just "walk away" or "get over it" if God has provided this for you. And you shouldn't just LET other people take away what God has given to you. I can't believe people would even insinuate that. I agree that it shouldn't be public, but it IS and it was publicized by the other party. This is just beginnings of a future testimony. That's all. To God be the glory!!!
Jeromegrant. You are right God is not the author of confusion. This is a hostile takeover attempt lead by the janitor who called the police. They lied about what happened and tried to get restraining orders to keep the congregation out. We have a court order allowing us to return & they want to prevent it. Satan likes to operate in the dark.They went to the media and lied. The way to fight this is to expose them &show what happened. The prayers were heard--the police left & the leaders stayed.
Franchea, that sounds like a good reply to Mike Freeman. He told his church that he is in negotiations to purchase our church which is not for sale and the six employees have no authority to sell. When God gives a vision he provides the provision. One does not have to connive, scheme and manipulate to get it.
I just stumbled onto all this... its been very interesting. I'm sure interested in knowing if any good outcome has happened. Has Pastor Joel gotten the church back yet officially?
And another thing. Mr Jackson is sitting there video taping & taking pictures. Is he really so full of spite and deceit and anger that he can't see an opportunity to join in & praise God? You don't have to like your brother to give God praise. Praise him through your circumstances.
PEOPLE WISE UP. IF THIS CHURCH HAS A CASE IN CO URT. YOU HAVE TO PRAY AND WAIT UPON THE L ORD. yOU CANNOT VIOLATE THE LAW OF THE LAND AND THINK YOU ARE PLEASING GOD. be STILL AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE VICTORY.
Man this world is evil , we seeing innocent church folk getting kicked out and attacked , this ain’t right , I like how they said let’s pray cause that’s wat we all need in this world,
I really understand the walk of love, but I really don't understand why the janitor is still employed by the church while openly showing disrespect for the People of God and His church. Yes we need to walk in love but the janitor needs to be loved from a distance. Another church distance.
Kenneth Langston, it's definitely love and mercy. As a Pastor myself, we have had to issue love and forgiveness many times. Gods people really need to be careful how things are done!!! I always tell my husband that God will vindicate the righteous!!!! He has done it so many times for us.
Yeah I didn't understand why he was still there, and who were following him. The janitor, really. That what the church especially the black people, the men is the head and if Black men could get that in their Spirit that they are strong in the LORD, they are unstoppable. What do you think that the men of Tulas and all those other places had, a praying mother a praying wife and the move of GOD. BLACK MEN, PLEASE TAKE YOUR PLACE.
So you think reading the whole chapter is going to change what Paul said or meant? I picked a few verses because I could not explain the whole chapter in this comment section. Maybe I will do a video to explain the whole chapter but for now can you explain the few verse I have already mention?
It is eye opening that Pastor Joel is attempting to show legal documents that validate the group is lawfully allowed on site (how did they gain access to the building, I thought his keys 2 the church & cell phone were confiscated per Pastor Michael Freeman?) and the "police officer" refuses to review them. How do you enforce the law with a blatant disregard to confirming their legal rights?
To me it is sad when a church can be hijacked by a janitor, and whoever else. Instead of having godly men or ministers leading that any church. I was raised differently, today these business set up minitries are moving away from the Apostolic ministry roots of biblical leadership, and much of these issues today have to do with carnal men and woman, who have no spiritual insight or godly fear to attempt to pull off a stunt like that. They in fact are the wolves in sheep's clothing not the preacher!
Pastor Harris if there is any doubt about us being kicked out. It was all televised and can be found on line. Several TV stations did stories .You can see the campus on lock down, view the ex-communication letters and hear interviews of members. That week we were not allowed on the campus and they canceled all activities. They did not tell us that there was going to be service on Sunday. When we arrived on Sunday to pray outside our church there was another preacher and his supporters inside.
oh ok I truly believe that this is spiritual warfare at its best and you guys will most certainly continue to be in my prayers ,I first learned of your church when I saw videos of Richard Smallwood's recording that was held there several years ago ,oh I know Bishop and Mother Peebles would be ticked off if thy would've saw what was going on ,I am so very amazed at your strength ,keep fighting in the spirit because God's got this for you all ,please keep us updated
This is a first for me. How do you steall a church? (Like in Beverly Hills Cop II, when Eddie Murphy asked how do you steal a house?) Is this a movie yet?
Shardy, We have not moved back to our worship facility yet. We can, have and will go back but our leaders will not take the congregation back until we have complete control because Jericho is a hostile environment. This video as well as another on people of praise MD.com shows this.. On Tuesday the Supreme court of Maryland denied the appeal request of the 6 employees. We expect to be back in our facility in the near future.
I am familiar with Jericho City of Praise & Spirit of Faith Christian Center as a long-time resident of Prince George's County. I'm not going 2 post a bunch of scriptures but simply say this. How was it okay 2 lease the parking lot 2 the Redskins, which is a 4 profit activity & Pastor Joel be fired 4 allegations of conducting 4 profit activities? 2 dismiss him w/ no regard 2 him being the provider 4 his wife & children isn't reflective of the heart of Christ & not Holy Spirit led.
Pastor Harris, Our Pastor was fired & excommunicated, leaders and members excommunicated. The campus was locked down with off duty police officers. The next Sunday they brought in another Pastor and his congregation. We were Kicked out. But God! The court of special appeals reversed the decision of the judge which made them the board, they appealed to the MD Supreme court that yesterday denied their appeal.All of their actions are null and void including the excommunications. See letters online
Good comment. They make black church folk look like fools! Fighting over a church! What kind of nonsense is that!?!?!? I'm appalled at both sides! Like children fighting over their parents things at a funeral! Can't you all remember we are ALL God's children!
Trust in Jesus he died for your sins, believe the gospel. Repent!!! If you do sin confess your sins, ask him to help you overcome your sins he will. Obey Jesus, live by his teachings, be led by the Holy Spirit. The Lord is coming soon you must live by his teachings. The love of God is beyond our understanding God bless///
Apostle the law of the land is the court order. That's why the police left and the Pastor and leaders were able to stay. The officer that called for backup was off duty and paid by the janitor.
Pastor Harris this issue never should have been taken to court but the 6 took it there 4 days after Apostle died and before she was even buried. This was a hostile takeover attempt.The 6 expected the congregation to be passive and not look at the legal documents.But we did. Seems like this is what you would have done, Christians don't have to be door mats. There is a court order which says that we can go back. This will be over very soon and we will be back in our building. Be blessed.
That no good individual with the police shirt is not only disrespectful to the law but he is also being disrespectful to the LORD!!!! He needs to be reported to whatever agency he is embarrassingly representing
When Paul talk about this, in chapter 14, this is instruction for conduct concerning speaking in tongues in a public church service. If Paul tried to preach a whole sermon or conduct a service in tongues than what does that benefit anybody? Reading the whole chapter would have easily given you that context. What's being done here was a small group of people praying & while one was praying aloud in english, the others were praying in tongues or in the spirit. This doesn't violate 1 Cor. 14.
Pastor Harris, we know the tithes and offerings belong to God. We were saying that the tithes and offerings that individuals gave to the church. The congregation has a judgement against the six. Our leaders will not take us back until we have complete control. The appeal to the supreme court was an attempt to tie the case up for 3-5 years. It seems the six employees intention was to try and sell our church. (? huge kickback) Church is a non for profit so proceeds would have to be donated.
if it's an unknown tongue (language) then How do you know its a language if it is unknown to you and to those that hear you? Dont your King James Bible say in 1 Cor. 14:7-9 If a sound is not understood, it is like noise with no meaning going into the air? Like a musical instrument making noise that is not music? Dont your King James Bible also say: in verse 27,28 If there is not 2 or 3 witness to interpret let them keep silence? Can the reason for that be so that words can be understood?
I'm not a church going guy or a Christian.However this Pastor showed what leadership is.Humble and strong.Most men would have came unglued and lost it that night.Great leader!!
He had an attorney.
Wow! God is so good. I'm glad that they got their church back. When you learn the whole story it's amazing that God delivered them from the wickedness of the greed of all of those people who schemed to take over this church. I'm appalled that his dying mother was even hid from him. God has the final say and this has given me strength to deal with the demonic forces that are trying to derail my career, income, etc.
I have learned from Bishop in this matter ...Don’t cuss yell scream or fight let the Lord fight your battles ....WOW LOOK AT GOD...I AM SO GLAD THEY GOT THEIR BUILDING BACK AMEN
That Corpal came walking in the Church like he was ready to do some foolishness.
But God,
Had someone standing in the Gap
To shut those policemen down.
Glory!!!!
Glad You All Got your Church Back...
Pastor
Amen
You must not have read everything. Its not over.
I know this video is old but I have to really commend the Pastor on how he handled the whole situation!!! Very humble!!
Pastor ?/ or a professional con man.. ??
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil!!
The Power of Prayer....
Amen Hallelujah
So glad Apostle spoke that name of the church openly and that it was recorded...I am happy bishop got the building back
Pray in the spirit MEN OF GOD! Good to see the brothers seeking God.
I know this is a church but the star wars soundtrack was fitting especially Darth Vaders theme when the cops came marching in. Hahaha
yes it felt like a movie for a minute
ive almost cried how yall was mistreated. and that pastor got a strong anoited on him wen yall went in praise and worship.
I am LOL at the janitor taking pics at the end, he looks so silly..smh
With a flip phone at that
I'm glad that Pastor Peebles could return to his own church that his late mother & father organized, started, and was left to him. Pastor Joel has some serious faithful prayer warriors & members on his side. And did anyone notice in the video that 1 police officer who was continually walking around in the sanctuary while prayer was going on? The officer wanted to join in on the prayer so badly, but he realized that he was there to do a job yet he wanted to desperately be in that prayer circle more than anything. Congratulations to Pastor Joel Peebles on returning to his church that was given to him not only by his parents but by God as well.
nope didn't see that. did you see the expression on his face, my money will end soon f they come back
Thank you for your prayers. We will continue to stand.
My prayers are with u all...keep praising our God right in the midst of adversity and in the face of the enemy!! Let God arise and EVERY enemy be scattered!!!
Thank God for this man of God...Pastor Joel!!

Keep glorifying the Lord!!!
Bishop Peebles and First Lady Ylawnda are the EPITOME of graceful.
Pastor Peebles... NJ is praying for you and your congregation... my cousin J. Riley is a member of your church and I pray God will prevail in the end... I also pray this be a lesson for all churches to have in place the successor of a ministry in writing... Rev. Kareem
You can almost sense the Devil in that janitor...But God
I have walked in those shoes. I realized that the souls of the people I led were more important than ME "winning." I walked away and I'm the better for doing so
This hurts my feelings. How do you kick out your Moses? I've not heard one thing he has done wrong.
Great attorney.....This is why I am becoming an attorney.....
UPON THIS ROCK I BUILD MY CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT!!!
What's with the Stars Wars soundtrack?
Jemaine Trotter Lmaoooooooooo
Kinda lost credibility on the video with the star wars theme
Jemaine Trotter 😂😂😂😂😂
This is not a war of words. I agree with you Toby. Most tongue speakers completely ignore Paul's writing about tongues. Disobedience and church tradition is tearing the church down. We need to listen to Yahweh's words in the book and follow. Shalom!

Glad to hear!
So what happened to the janitor?

WE WILL GET U OUT SOON!!!

PRaise God for Bishop Peebles example of loving people to regardless of what they do and that's why God brought them back to this holy ground. I can't wait to visit this church, such a powerful example of Love of Jesus Christ.
amen i would love to visit as well
BrothaRollins was this a gym at a school?

I love the ones that are standing in a circle for JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR
Touching and agreeing

God is Good and all-powerful in all His ways
Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them".
amen to that
In business be men! Stand for your Pastor and Church! God bless you all!
Amen, Standing in Prayer with you all!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD! AMEN. If you don't know HIM, repent and get to know HIM! There is no one like HIM!
you should put this story on lifetime, it was a good and the plots kept getting thicker.
what really happen?
I have no idea what went on!
Franchea, that sounds like a good reply to Mike Freeman. He told his church that he is in negotiations to purchase our church which is not for sale and the six employees have no authority to sell. When God gives a vision he provides the provision. One does not have to connive, scheme and manipulate to get it.
How does a janitor take over?
i agree with you. you never let the enemy have control over what's not his.
HE SAID, “ YA’LL JUST PRAY.” 🔥🔥🔥HEY HEY HEY‼️‼️‼️‼️🩸🩸🩸🩸
Where does Pastor Peebles host church services or is he back in his parent's church?
whaaaaaaaaat you guys moved back to your worship facility? oh wow Iam so glad ,I have been praying for you all oh the Lord is good ,
I don’t understand what is happening. Can someone let me know????
WHY DID THE JANITOR CALL THE POLICE ON THOSE PEOPLE ?
I think few if any knows what was going on.
There is always someone trying to take over
Money
The janitor didn't get his pay! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just stumbled onto all this... its been very interesting. I'm sure interested in knowing if any good outcome has happened. Has Pastor Joel gotten the church back yet officially?
And another thing. Mr Jackson is sitting there video taping & taking pictures. Is he really so full of spite and deceit and anger that he can't see an opportunity to join in & praise God? You don't have to like your brother to give God praise. Praise him through your circumstances.
cant praise God having deceit, lying, spirit of bad fruits
Praise the Lord Almighty! God is good!
Pastor Paige, What is not Christ like about the behavior of the Pastor, church members and leaders?
GOD IS GOOD‼️🙏🏽
Devil always busy witness a similar event at my childhood church very hard to swallow I pray for your church and the leaders Amen.
Who's paying the janitor again?
What kind of police department wears tee shirts, his under shirt sticking out
Thats right do it because THE NAME OF JESUS. ITS THE TRUTH STAY AND PREACH
Peace Neicy! I'm curious. Do you not feel that Mr. Freeman should be exposed? Maybe I missed what might be private. Can you fill me in?
PEOPLE WISE UP. IF THIS CHURCH HAS A CASE IN CO URT. YOU HAVE TO PRAY AND WAIT UPON THE L ORD. yOU CANNOT VIOLATE THE LAW OF THE LAND AND THINK YOU ARE PLEASING GOD. be STILL AND GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE VICTORY.
We Got the victory! We got our church back!
I love to see men give praise
Let God arise and the enemy be scattered.
Praise the Lord God Almighty!!!!
The officer should have been charged
This is why I stopped going to Church....insane
Jonas Grumby Don't stop going to church sir
With what?
Man this world is evil , we seeing innocent church folk getting kicked out and attacked , this ain’t right , I like how they said let’s pray cause that’s wat we all need in this world,
Wow....the janitor making $93,000.00!!!!!!! There is a different kinda place waiting for them unholy folks that are doing this.
and what's your opinion on Solomons Temple?
I really understand the walk of love, but I really don't understand why the janitor is still employed by the church while openly showing disrespect for the People of God and His church. Yes we need to walk in love but the janitor needs to be loved from a distance. Another church distance.
Kenneth Langston, it's definitely love and mercy. As a Pastor myself, we have had to issue love and forgiveness many times. Gods people really need to be careful how things are done!!! I always tell my husband that God will vindicate the righteous!!!! He has done it so many times for us.

Gladys Brierley thanks for your prayers. We will be back by the end of the year
Pastor Harris if there is any doubt about us being kicked out. It was all televised and can be found on line.

What a disgusting display of humanity shame on that janitor
I remember watching him on TV. They worshipped in a school . People been fighting against him a long time.
This is a first for me. How do you steall a church? (Like in Beverly Hills Cop II, when Eddie Murphy asked how do you steal a house?) Is this a movie yet?
Jesus name amen 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What is that language they are speaking?
Shardy, We have not moved back to our worship facility yet. We can, have and will go back but our leaders will not take the congregation back until we have complete control because Jericho is a hostile environment. This video as well as another on people of praise MD.com shows this.. On Tuesday the Supreme court of Maryland denied the appeal request of the 6 employees. We expect to be back in our facility in the near future.
Ok, do they have anymore members for him to be on that kind of salary???
I am familiar with Jericho City of Praise & Spirit of Faith Christian Center as a long-time resident of Prince George's County. I'm not going 2 post a bunch of scriptures but simply say this. How was it okay 2 lease the parking lot 2 the Redskins, which is a 4 profit activity & Pastor Joel be fired 4 allegations of conducting 4 profit activities? 2 dismiss him w/ no regard 2 him being the provider 4 his wife & children isn't reflective of the heart of Christ & not Holy Spirit led.
Attorney Erica Cole and her team should be a shame of themselves....
The six employees who executed the hostile takeover attempt have been in court since our return facing racketeering charges.
peopleofpraisemd Great and awesome...God gave Mike Freeman his punishment
Mighty are the works of God hands...
Pastor Harris, Our Pastor was fired & excommunicated, leaders and members excommunicated. The campus was locked down with off duty police officers. The next Sunday they brought in another Pastor and his congregation. We were Kicked out. But God! The court of special appeals reversed the decision of the judge which made them the board, they appealed to the MD Supreme court that yesterday denied their appeal.All of their actions are null and void including the excommunications.

Good comment. They make black church folk look like fools! Fighting over a church! What kind of nonsense is that!?!?!? I'm appalled at both sides! Like children fighting over their parents things at a funeral! Can't you all remember we are ALL God's children!
Is that man Al Reynolds(Star Jones) ex husbands' brother ???
Jesus is the Program!!! Get with the Program.
no
That Janitor and that rouge board needs to be removed ASAP!!!!
Trust in Jesus he died for your sins, believe the gospel. Repent!!! If you do sin confess your sins, ask him to help you overcome your sins he will. Obey Jesus, live by his teachings, be led by the Holy Spirit. The Lord is coming soon you must live by his teachings. The love of God is beyond our understanding God bless///
Apostle the law of the land is the court order. That's why the police left and the Pastor and leaders were able to stay. The officer that called for backup was off duty and paid by the janitor.
Church is a business. This janitor is worrying about his raised. It's all about money.
Sad we have to be this way towards one another. I mean, like it ain't hard enough for us already! We got to do better!
Pastor Harris this issue never should have been taken to court but the 6 took it there 4 days after Apostle died and before she was even buried. This was a hostile takeover attempt.The 6 expected the congregation to be passive and not look at the legal documents.But we did. Seems like this is what you would have done, Christians don't have to be door mats. There is a court order which says that we can go back. This will be over very soon and we will be back in our building. Be blessed.
This is sad that this goes on in the "House of The Lord"
evil is everywhere
Really.
For one God is not of Confucians i know that this is hard but should let God and the court handle it. They know they not post to be there.
That no good individual with the police shirt is not only disrespectful to the law but he is also being disrespectful to the LORD!!!! He needs to be reported to whatever agency he is embarrassingly representing

Styles Apostle Betty Peebles was NOT Mike Freeman's mother! This is a clear case of elder abuse.
if it's an unknown tongue (language) then How do you know its a language if it is unknown to you and to those that hear you? Dont your King James Bible say in 1 Cor. 14:7-9 If a sound is not understood, it is like noise with no meaning going into the air? Like a musical instrument making noise that is not music? Dont your King James Bible also say: in verse 27,28 If there is not 2 or 3 witness to interpret let them keep silence? Can the reason for that be so that words can be understood?
