MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
I'm unlearning a lot of stuff I was taught in a charismatic church. Today, because of you, I learned one more thing-that spiritual covering is hokum. I'm so frustrated. But extremely thankful for your teaching on this. Thank you!
Yes i am so tired of this. I've been a Christian for over 3 decades. I've risked my life for Jesus in dangerous countries, went to unreached people groups, had people want to kidnap me, been mocked etc for Jesus. But we still are told by people with such ignorance that we have to be under a spiritual covering - people who aren't willing to come out on the streets where the lost are to reach them. But they think that if we don't stick to their ideologies we aren't right. It's very sad when we have so little time to reach so many lost.
22:54 is the word you were looking for “anachronistic?” Brother thank you for this. It came up in my feed in a timely manner. I recently came across a new podcast called “The Basement with Tim Ross.” He talks a lot about submission to human authority and spiritual covering. As someone who was spiritually manipulated by someone that I allowed have such authority over my life, it did not sit right with me. This biblical exposition really clarified me and sobered me up. Thank you God.
My question is based upon your statement of leaders/pastors carry no anointing power or special abilities yet we have ordination services confirmation services that requires leader ship to conduct and lay hands and to speak over them I’m kind of confused if they have no power then we do not need to have any form of ordination recognition then that means that if someone is called they simply just acknowledge it without leader ship ….. no impartation according to your teaching to confirm it and if I need a leader to confirm it then you said all we need is Jesus and no man I’m confuse
I was watching Berean TV and I just started watching that about a week now then I saw you on there and he said to follow you, as well.... well I see why you are a very great teacher and I just subscribe to your Channel however I do call myself an an apostle and Apostle Paul, which I have named myself for my nickname AKA Apostle Paul! I mostly cater to gang members Thugs and drug dealers places where they're regular Church doesn't go, which happens to be the hood no I am not one of the original apostles but I do often say I am whatever I need to be for that current moment whether it be APOSTLE minister evangelist prophet whatever God need me to be I am that vessel! By the way God bless you for your ministry I think I'm stuck here and I will continue to listening and learning
I am just coming across this video. And all i can say is thank you very much. The church in the 21st century has become so hooked on titles and has driven the entire Body of Christ under the spirit of fear and manipulation. And all i can say is thank you for this because as i navigate what God is telling me to do in this new chapter of my life i needed to hear this because it was becoming a huge hesitation as to when i would step out and do what God is telling me to do. But coming to this revelation that God gave you i can say i see the true picture and my eyes are now open. I dont NEED a spiritual covering its not biblical, if so happen to want a spiritual advisor to tap in prophetically to help me more effective steer what God is giving me then thats up to me but to be bound and made to feel as if i wont succeed or everytbing will fail or i want have blessings or i will be soo off spiritually when i have the same holy spirit is absolutely wrong. Thank you again for this biblically based revelation about spiritual coverings. May God continue to bless and keep you in Jesus Name
When you said "the man'd of God," and animated voices I hurt my side laughing at you Damon. Lol😂🤣😂. Very, very good sound teaching. Question, any fellowships here in Dallas that you would reccomend?
UrbanLogia Ministries May need to look more into Dr. Tony Evans. I was told he is in close fellowship with several "word of Faith" teachers that include TD Jakes ,Joel Osteen and Beth Moore. Hmmm
Yeah, me and my Pastor joke about this all the time...I guess it is supposed to "sound" holy or something, like they are super-spiritual and have a direct line to God that others don't have, but it is rather ridiculous
I just made a video about this! I discovered this abuse of scripture in my former place of worship. This gangrenous, self-aggrandising teaching has spread to the UK. I've linked this video in for people to find out more. Great stuff, thanks and God bless.
Exactly 👍 !!! This is some new age crap that has creeped in to being subagents under them and not knowing that l covering is and should always be under the power of the Holy Ghost!!!
Absolutely true ,this is big in South Africa aswell, They call the pastor "THE GRACE CARRIER" they make him a mediator between man and God , so you will have to have a relationship with him in order to recieve from God. They also use the biological father and son example to manipulate a spiritual father and son relationship and they often use biblical examples you mentioned.thanks for the video, let continue to free God's children from the new bandage.bless you.Rashid S.A
My current Pastor is now going intensely with this covering teaching; he is now bringing in reinforcement by bringing in his so called covering. And they are pushing the same things you are speaking of in this video. Do you think that the Pastor and his Covering placing themselves in harm's way? I was in one ministry that pushed this teaching and that ministry is no more. Now in the current ministry I see the people being primed and prepped to be indoctrinated into this out of context teaching.
I’m working towards teaching the Latin people concerning this, there is so much harm done with these false doctrines. Enrichment for those who are leading these false doctrines.
good teaching... if my pastor is my covering and his pastor is his covering and so forth and so on.... someone has to be at the top..... and that would take away from our relationship with Christ... coverings are def false doctrine....
My pastor makes me feel more discouraged than encouraged because of him telling me things I post on Facebook could be hurting peoples feelings all the while the pastor is hurting my feelings. My post are not hurtful at all. I started excluding him from seeing my post if he’s going to be that way.
Maybe and just maybe they are looking at spiritual covering as being a sponsor or a patron to a person who is pursuing a life of ministry. A person who has had their gifting and service to be affirmed by the elders, that they be an understudy of a senior minister who will support their practical growth in the ministry. Finally you can look at spiritual covering as being prayed for by other believers you are in consistent fellowship with. Just some thoughts.
Explain why Jesus was not present when two churches underwent violence and death in SC and TX? Matthew 18:20 Jesus says, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them. Is Jesus real or does he lie?
Nothing in Scripture teaches that God will protect His people from any or all harm. In spite of our limited perspectives, God has a Sovereign purpose in the suffering of His people and His presence remains even during and through periods of suffering, so He was in fact there with them even as they are now there with Him now.
God wants everyone to serve him willingly. Some choose to do good, some choose to do bad. Some really seek his voice, hear his voice and obey. Others don't seek Him fervently, thereby when He speaks, they miss it. I believe it is possible that many in SC were warned not to fellowship that day, but went anyway. Maybe someone in the shooters life was prompted to reach out to the shooter, but didn't listen. And don't forget that in this life, believers will suffer persecution (from those influenced by darkness) and the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. We could go on and on with plausible reasons why things happen. The bottom line is, don't blame God! Do you blame him when you lie, cheat on your taxes, fornicate, covet, seek revenge, judge others, lust, dress provocative, divorce, hit your kids in anger, get drunk, or are a stumbling block for others, etc?(not you directly, but if the shoe fits.....) So if you don't, don't blame Him for ANYTHING else. When you do, you are in essence judging God. That's scary. Just calm down and humble your heart. He will show you why some things happen and that will light a fire in YOU to be about your Father's business, and help others come out of darkness. God bless you Sis.
Damon Richardson Ministries I hear you ,and this has always baffled Me, Psalm 34:7 Days The Angel of the Lord Encamps Around Those That Fear Him And Delivers them? So re we not to find assurance in Scripture and take that literally
Stephen was stoned, Paul was stoned, beaten, and shipwrecked 3 times, John the Baptist was beheaded,we were never promised that bad things won't happen to us. Believers have suffered violence and persecution since the inception of the faith.
Too many youtube preachers 2 Timothy 1:6 KJV Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. This teaching is wrong in so many ways. King Saul went astray because he refused to sit under his covering samuel, and the list goes on and on. Satan has deleted the prophets and apostles out of the 5 fold, but it doesn't end there now. They are going after pastors.
Today this concept has been abused and Pastors use this "Spiritual Covering" doctrine to keep their churches full so people can be subservient to them and their pockets full so members can keep the money flowing into the offering plate and covenant with them to pay money to build big edifices they want.
I have always been opposed to this false teaching. Why can't the believer be more aware of falsehoods in the church. We must go back to Word of God and that only. LoRd help us! The church is in trouble.
Jesus is Lord and no one else. Why can't we get this right? Is it really that hard to just let God be God all by Himself and not need help from finite man!🙄 I believe the apostolic is still in operation but this hierarchical teaching and order,I don't see in scripture.
Christ is the head of the church and the husband is the head of the wife.... that's it.... that's the only coverings i see..........one pastor said this is the reason a lot of woman arent married... its becuz they have made their pastor their covering.... and has taken the place of a husband.... LOLOL!!!! so, if a male pastor is the covering of another man..... ummm??? lol!!!!
Walking around empty. It's better to accept CHRIST and allow yourself to be inhabited by HIM. The alternative is a party pack of evil spirits. CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE,
Clarah, I don't hit hard or hit back! I merely point out facts! You have a emotional relationship with a deity, that you manifest a mental and physical relationship! That's your spiritual (faith based) belief. It works for you, but to spread your personal truth as facts, is delusional. Question for you, can you prove a "supernatural realm" exist?
@@bigtimespeakers8211 This earth wasn't created in vain (ISAIAH 45:18)It's always been our home. Whether you have an emotional connection or not, yes, you'll meet our CREATOR. (Ecclesiastes 12:6-7) When have you ever seen such a beautiful creation and not know it was prepared by a loving creator? Oh, please? Mankind can only be more GRATEFUL knowing that suffering at the hands of untethered sous won't be our fate forever. RIGHT, HARD TRUTH WILL SOFTEN Your backbone even more than once. You stand for nothing.
“Are spiritual coverings biblical”? The question itself is rubbish because there is nothing known as biblical. This cultural adherents make me nauseous.
if someone baptize you with the holy spirit, and they become your wise council, that could be a way of spiritual covering. Lets say they have the gift of prophecy and discerning of spirits to go with it, and is ordained by God to do intercessory, this all technically is not un biblical. But I see where you coming from, but spiritual covering is ordained by god to allow someone to look out for you. But Jesus does do all the work and the holy spirit is the helper.
Just because "Spiritual father" or "Son in the Lord" is in the bible does not mean it's for us to use! Matthew 23:9 CLEARLY says: DO NOT call anyone on earth [who guides you spiritually] your father! If we apply everything that's in the bible then one can say they want to have multiple wives/concubines like Solomon. One can also have sexual relations outside marriage like Abraham did!
Thank you Pastor Richardson. Was in bondage to this for a long time. It even kept me from moving forward.
You is what my soul has being searching for.....WE NEED MORE TEACHERS/PREACHERS SUCH AS YOUR SELF who is ready to take a stand against all of the foolishness tht is going on in the TODAY'S CHURCHES.....Thank you for sharing the truth with us and as long as the TRUTH is being taught I will continue to share it with others...
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Amén pastor! We need to retreat and seek discernment from the Holy Spirit while we refer directly to the Holy Scripture!
Dr. R', what a timely discourse. I soooooooo... needed this with the abuse and duplicity I've been witnessing.
Wow!! I'm seeing this being duplicated in the current ministry I am in. I can't take it no more I can't go through this again.
Keep teaching the Truth it is helping people open their eyes to these false teachers
Greatly needed to hear more teachings like this. Appreciate time spent here teaching
Can you address false titles in the "Church"? Ex: armour bearer, First lady ....
Thomas Boykin Oooo those are good ones!!
Follow my page I talk about it all.
I'm unlearning a lot of stuff I was taught in a charismatic church. Today, because of you, I learned one more thing-that spiritual covering is hokum. I'm so frustrated. But extremely thankful for your teaching on this. Thank you!
Thank you for blessing us with your gifts Dr. Richardson
I really enjoyed this teaching Bro. And would like you to go further into this teaching. In light of the scripture Hebrews 13:17 thanks in advance
Great teaching! Blessings brother for teaching the truth!
AMEN always some good biblical teachings when i tune into to your teaching. GOD blessed you pastor Richardson 🙏❤
Yes i am so tired of this. I've been a Christian for over 3 decades.

Brilliant exegesis thank you so much
Teach the word brother. Great teaching
Amen , Jesus is our only covering
Truth ! Truth! Truth!
C'MON Preacher! PREACH this TRUTH!!
Thank you so much!! This has helped me so much and confirms my convictions.
I am in tears 🙏

Thank God for His grace that He removed me from this control and manipulation of teachings...
Brother Richardson is Hebrew 13:17 is were they get spiritual covering from ???
When you said "the man'd of God," and animated voices I hurt my side laughing at you Damon. Lol😂🤣😂. Very, very good sound teaching. Question, any fellowships here in Dallas that you would reccomend?
Michael Darden I would recommend Oak Cliff Dr. Tony Evans and 9Marks Church Mark Dever

Jesus also said call no one father . He was speaking of spiritual leaders
The whole truth
Also in regards to Hebrews 13:7 thanks again
Amen. Our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, Warns of False apostles of satan and false teaching and false prophets.
good teaching... if my pastor is my covering and his pastor is his covering and so forth and so on.... someone has to be at the top..... and that would take away from our relationship with Christ... coverings are def false doctrine....
Amen
Preach preacher
So true. The only spiritual covering or covering we have is Christ and his blood. Charismania, loved it.
The Charismaniacs !
My pastor makes me feel more discouraged than encouraged because of him telling me things I post on Facebook could be hurting peoples feelings all the while the pastor is hurting my feelings. My post are not hurtful at all. I started excluding him from seeing my post if he’s going to be that way.
Sound doctrine, Amen
This foolishness of "covering" is always(in my experience) told to women who pastor/teach a local body!!
Yep
and jesus is our spiritual covering we are in his body. But his disciples do what is required.
Maybe and just maybe they are looking at spiritual covering as being a sponsor or a patron to a person who is pursuing a life of ministry. A person who has had their gifting and service to be affirmed by the elders, that they be an understudy of a senior minister who will support their practical growth in the ministry. Finally you can look at spiritual covering as being prayed for by other believers you are in consistent fellowship with. Just some thoughts.
These practices didn’t starts in Africa or the Caribbean, the practice starts in United sate and the rest of the world follows.
Completely agree.
Accurate. Thank you
