Accept Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful rest of your day/night everyone, may the LORD bless you all, and farewell! ...,,
Can I ask you a favor Joe Can you make Yt shorts. I want to spread the gospel online in my native language but it's difficult to translate. Tiktok is banned in my country but there are other short video apps that are trending so I hope you would consider it. ☺️
When my ex left my daughter and I to fend for ourselves in a foreign country, our home church turned their back on us, too. I had no money, no job and no way to get back to my home country. Yet, during these dark days, Jesus was closer than ever when things seemed hopeless. He provided in amazing ways that let us know He was near.
His strength is great in times of need. It is Written, He is Jehovah Jireh "The Lord Our Provider" and in Psalms it says The Lord is my Shepherd, i shall not lack.May The Grace of God, The Love of Jesus Christ and The Fellowship of The Holy Spirit be with you always. Edit He will never leave you nor forsake you, for Thou Art God.
How awful! How wrong of them all, the church didn't help?? What on earth are tithings for, if not for those in need? Most churches think all that money is for then to get bigger paychecks and build bigger, fancier buildings instead of being modest!These churches are flashy, and unbecoming of one who ought to be helping their own communities. I find it revolting. People who have visited hell have said they were surprised to see so many priests and pastors etc. Because these teachers are held at a higher accountability to God for the extra power and blessings that the Lord entrusted them with to do the proper things such as saving those who are in desperate need of direction and financial help.
So true! Jesus has always supplied my need. We all have vanity in one measure or another. God forgive us. ❤️ your videos, please keep it going. Give us the hard messages, I fall in with one of these and I needed this. God bless you, for correction in love of Christ Jesus.
@tim miller... You are so right on that. I want to be baptized but don't want a pastor who isn't true to God's word to baptize me. Made a promise to myself and God that I will get baptized this year...sooner the later. If anyone has any suggestions on who I should ask to baptize me would really appreciate it. 🙏❤️
My pastor was such a rarity in that he preached the truth, to the point he was apparently controversial in the local Baptist Committee. He taught via expository preaching, was unafraid to state that even communion should only be taken when you are saved. He above all though taught in a more organizational manner that churches that rely too heavily on a pastor do not last long without one. He ended up being called elsewhere to preached, and he answered that call from God to uproot. But God worked in our Church and while other churches are failing around us, we remained strong for a whole year before God finally sent us another pastor, whom has the same energy and love for Christ as our old one did. We still go out in public and serve, we still bring people in, we never turn someone away, and while our main congregation is still relatively small, we still are doing alright.
I've have been homeless and hungry and lived in a tent and still love Jesus Christ no matter what came my way and now I'm in an apartment over my head and meals that I can cook and almost back to normal again but still single and going to church and learning to be a healer in Jesus Christ.
Congratulations Michael I Bryan for moving to your own apartment. Having a roof over your head is the first step. Hang on to Jesus. He has put a roof over your head, food on your table and you're in good health. Glory be to God. Keep serving God, He will bring the right person to your life. Love will find you! Take care brother. Stay safe.
@@abnormalynn7885 I've got my own apparentment now too. I lost 2fiances died, my mum house ,3women and my 6yr old nephew was Petrol bombed out of our house 4am . Stalker done it. Crazy man Then 12yrs homeless. I've lung disease C.O.P.D and I'm so happy to be free from cold hunger and pain deep down in my heart. Glory to God hallelujah 🙌
"If you only had clothes on your back, a roof over your head, food on the table, and Jesus Christ would it be enough?" Thank you for this convicting question!
It is enough for me. But there's a family that has other wants and there's a government that wants it's taxes and there are the needy I would like to help and a world out there that SEEKS after all these things and Jesus said the Father knows you have need of these things and WILL GIVE YOU THEM.
@@aalot6744 Jesus said "you can do NOTHING WITHOUT ME". IF you're born-again believer you are never going to be without him because he said he will never leave you or forsake you. Trusting Him today is easy because Christ died for us while we were yet sinners and His grace is sufficient for us to overcome our every trial.
I believe that no matter what state I am in, Jesus will always be enough for me. Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, the only Life. Jesus is the only Way to the Father. Blessings
I'm a pastor in Pennsylvania USA-brother Joe-you are a blessing and you are wise beyond your years. Thank you for shining the light of Christ in England and across the pond too! God bless you!
Hi Doug where are you a pastor in Pa? I have an inspiration to infiltrate all forum's using the comment on internet to spread seeds of Jesus just scripture and would love help putting together verses to reach Hebrews as i am a saved Hebrew. If brothers and sisters would use there interests cars; animals; Cooking; building; what ever it is and just plant Bible verses in comment sections Gods promises his word will not come back void. I would love to do street preaching🙏 street singing the word of God so many are hungry for the truth!!! sad so many headed for hell and all i see is brothers and sisters wanting to be raptured its not wrong to want but so many stiff neck hebrews and Gentiles headed the wrong way🙏
@@DK-ik6fr I am in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Really appreciate your thoughtful Bible centered responses. I have encountered street preachers and have gone our evangelizing on the street but nothing in the same league as you. God bless you and thanks for bringing your ministry to social media. Sorry for slow response!
@@dougdwyer8879 Hi Doug. If you were ever looking for a team to get together to preach I’d be interested. I live about 15 minutes from Philly. God bless you.
I'm a 57 year old woman who is a Christian. My husband is 50 and we've been married for 25 years. Even though I became a Christian at 13, at the time I got married I was far from living a Christian life. I've dedicated my life to Christ 7 years ago and found a church home that I love and trust very much. Spring City Baptist in Joplin, Missouri. Please pray for my husband Eric to come to Christ. I try to witness to him just by daily living, bc he is not the kind of man to be pressured. I know it's truely up to THE HOLY SPIRIT to move him. I love your videos. I'm glad THE HOLY SPIRIT never gave up on you.
I was a pastor's daughter. People in churches drove me away from church attendance because of how they treated me, from childhood to adulthood, from the USA to my US Navy service in Italy and back to the US again, I went to church; I was often involved in some aspect of the church ministry. But the lack of love, the condemnation over superficial things (like that I wore 2nd hand clothes, or jeans because I was a passenger on a motorcycle going to church), yes it was the lack of love and acceptance that finally drove me away. The final straw was when a church wouldn't allow me to become a member, because they didn't accept my baptism, since it wasn't being baptised into that particular style of church! 🤦♀ And for many years now, I've been disabled and can't often leave my home. It's been lonely without the fellowship, but Yehovah has been still providing for me. And now, I'm finding people through online who I can fellowship with, because we have the love of our Savior and reading the scriptures and talking about our reading and learning. No, it's not the same as in person, but Yehovah is providing for me, and I am grateful. Glad to have found you, Joe. There are so few preachers who have genuine love and compassion for people, whether online or in person. Keep ministering as the Holy Spirit leads you. Yehovah bless you and keep you.
I left my church that I had worked for. For many years, even as a child. But I was from the poor side of town. The girls from school in my class, Her Father was in choir with me. I would watch these hippocrites making eyes at each other and smiling lovingly in choir . They were both married to other people. But they did this in church. How could they believe and love God. ? They wouldn't let me get married there. They discontinued my membership at church. I helped build and clean that church. I did VBS as a kid. I helped with Sunday School. I took confirmation there. And I was dumped from my church. I loved that church. There's other churches too. I'm a dedicated person. I love church. I enjoy going and working there. Fellowship. I'm so sorry for you. Presently, I'll call those who can't get out, I let her talk non stop. She needs to have friends and people who care. This lady is about my age. So yes I call her ever so often. She can remember the good old days talking to me. I believe, it helps. God Bless You.
The Church will not save you, only Jesus can save you. Going to church is a “work”. We are not saved by works, but by faith, confession, and trust in Jesus Christ. The thief on the cross had absolutely NO WORKS. All he had was a last minute repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. He was saved by grace and not by attending or being a bonafide member of organized religion.
CS... God bless you dear one, you did well to get away from such a lot of legalistic people who seem more concerned with what people wear than OBEYING the Word of God. I had my own bunch of craziness in a few churches I've attended. And yes even when I forgave, turned the other cheek, they kept on. Women pastors that had no business preaching because that goes against the Word of God. I left when I noticed that this wasn't " CHURCH" it was more of a talent show, and that even if they had 5 pastors, they picked out whatever scriptures they could use to control the church and they could interpret in anyway THEY wanted it was all wrong.
Chris C, Humble Yourself, Before God The Almighty, Our Creator, Our Loving, Amazing Father In Heaven. He Loves Us All Equally, Saint, or Sinner, So Much So, that He Sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to Save us from sin. Jesus Took our Place on The Cross, Paid the Price for our sin, Shed His Blood as an Atoning Sacrifice, So that we might be Saved. He Suffered the Wrath of God, Which we So Richly Deserve. He died, and on the 3rd day, He Arose to His Father, Our Father, In Heaven, where He sits at God's Right Hand. He Still Intercedes For Us 2dy, as He Did, while on the earth. Jesus Always Prayed to Our Father, Pleaded and Cried For Us, Followed and Obeyed our Father, Even Unto death, on The Cross. Because He Wants us to Be Saved, It Grieves Him and Our Father, If Even One of us Is Lost. They Love Us More than we Can Comprehend, (Understand.) But God Gives us that Choice, Make The Right Choice Today, Tomorrow is Not Guaranteed. By Jesus Ascending to Heaven, to Be With Our Father, Gives us that Hope, that Promise, of Eternal Life, With Jesus, Our Lord and King. God Always Keeps His Promise, unlike man, who is weak.
@Chris C For non existent entities of course all humanity won't bow. But for God who is real, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is not talking about now. This is the time of the great white throne judgement. That time the knees of every living creature shall bow and every tongue of every living creature will confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. It is not an option or a suggestion, it will be a command. Yes this will be forced. And no one can resist. We are talking about GOD. Not puny fable gods & demigods made up by people who go on killing each other, and can be killed. God is a being who can NEVER EVER EVER be killed/die. Jokes on people who make gods that can die.
Joe I praise God for your messages, they are so timely. I'm struggling at the moment trying to get the boldness to street preach, witnessing can be abit daunting but it's a lot easier than street preaching. I appreciate your message it's very encouraging. God bless you mate
You are so correct! I remember my first time in 5th grade at a catholic school when an announcement came on the speaker that we were no longer able to say the LORDS prayer but were to put our hands over our hearts and recite the national anthem. I got suspended for a week because I loudly spoke the LORDS prayer instead. 🙏 🙏🙏
A catholic school now allowing the Lord’s Prayer??? How long ago was this if I may ask. Now are scold able to say the pledge as it is written or is God been removed?
Mann..how long ago was this? Prayer was taken out in the 90s in my school and early 2000s is when the pledge of alliance was not to be said anymore because of "one nation under God"

I did need to hear this. I repented in 2020. It's been very strange times since then and I haven't found a church yet. Social anxiety has gotten worse, but I'm so ready to be with other believers to worship and serve. Thank you for this message.
Praying for God to lead you..until He does, read the Word, and draw close to Jesus..He's right there with you..He said He will never leave us nor forsake us..He's our Good Shphered..Read the Psalms proverbs, for comfort and wisdom..the gospels to know Jesus better, the old testament to see the men and women of God, who had faith and talked to God..each book of the Bible points to Jesus...you are loved❤️🙏
Push yourself to find a credible church....Cuz as a young Christian you need the "word" to GROW in Christ...PRAYERS for you always!🙏💙 He will help you! Just ask him for WISDOM & his GUIDANCE! 🙏😇 💙 When you GROW in God's word, most likely the DEVIL will FLEE from you...Cuz he won't bug you or HANG AROUND IF he sees he's NOT getting anywhere w/ you!!!! Then you can help encourage others! Tht pleases God! May GOD BLESS you always! 🙏❤️ Stay STRONG Stay READY! He's returning soon for his followers!!!! ♥️👍🥰🙏😇! AMEN!!!🙏💙
Songs we sing in church, even good churches, are all about us. I really can’t tolerate most contemporary Christian music. I finally found a local church that teaches scripture and sings the old hymns. The desire to meet with Gods people has returned in my life. And I thank God. Good word brother❤️
Praise the Lord! I grew up in a charismatic non-denom church. Then I came to a Baptist church at 20 years old and heard hymns and loved it. I love all the doctrine that is embedded in them. Now ten years later, by the grace of God I am a Pastors wife and so thankful He brought me out of a “feelings church” to a fundamental church
It’s so hard to find a church that teaches the truth. It feels like a secular concert followed by a motivational speaker at the country club now. We are looking. We certainly haven’t given up! Please say a quick prayer we will find a church that speaks the Word!
Church is in you,your heart of hearts is the deeper meaning of such,give Jesus your worship,for you are created In God's Image You are already his tabernacle, the Bible is thy sanctuary, For you are HIS PRECIOUS TREASURE....SUP WITH HIM,AND HE SHALL SUP WITH YOU...GOD WANTS A PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU,AND,FOR ALL...THE LORD ONLY WANTS YOU....WE ARE IN GODS PRESENCE..READ JOHN 4:23&24 AND ALL OF JOHN...
@Annie Oakley you are absolutely right. If you can find a group of family, friends, other believers you open YHWH's word & you fellowship at your home, at the park, by the lake... wherever you are. The Most High is not in buildings made by mans hands. Thats why its so hard to find a church that teaches truth. We are the church. Here's something to revisit. Acts 7:48-49 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? APTTMHY! HALLELUYAH! 🙏🏽
I wonder what Joe would say about the responses here. Church is a congregation, people gathered and Paul lays out the offices of the church. I am not the church. This is the problem with teaching the "Universal" church. Church is local groups of Christians organised to carry out God's work.
@@bj9999-bj9, I definitely know where I be spending my eternity because I was adapted and was forgiven by Jesus Christ. I was in the darkness but now in light. I hope you come to Jesus and find the true identity.
I pray that you will put your TRUST & CONFIDENCE in that Jesus walked on this earth, preached His WORD, died on the cross & then rose from the grave to sprinkle his blood on the mercy seat by His Father. Then YOU take that love share it with others. In that you will s. GaHt7-pop===
Thank you. Our church has shrunk and our pastor is a wonderful man who never closed the doors of our church. Many people left because of this so we are about 13 total now, but we still stand with him and our church is still serving the community. Jesus is Lord. 😊
Oh I am so sorry for that! We are to help our fellow man as Pastor Artur Pawlowski does in Canada and was sent to jail for 3 days and now faces 21 more days in jail for simply preaching the gospel! He also feeds the homeless in front of the Canadian city hall and was fined thousands of dollars! God bless you Steven Jones and your loved ones in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ! ✝️🛐🙏❤
There are a few. I invite you to visit our church on line. Legacy Church in Albuquerque. Pastor Steve Smotherman is a bible believing and truth preaching Pastor.
I just want to say something. I backslid into my sin. And I was stuck in a pit of darkness. Constantly crying to God for help. And now I’ve finally quit that sin. Again. It’s been a week. Please you guys do not go back to your sin. What I’m trying to say is. “Though a righteous man fall seven times. He will rise again.”
I will keep you in prayer . Fast , put script in front of you and you will see that God's word is stronger that of the devil. The bible says God will not give you more than you could handle so I happy to tell you, you will not do it again you will fight with God's word and win. Then you can help other's . That's what it's all about the devil keeps people down in sin so they can't help their sister or brother in Christ. We need to stick together and believe we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us 💕😀
@Some Dude It takes time. Trust me. At your lowest point. You will depend on Him. Do not give up. I’m here for you. Father in Heaven hears us. He loves us. He will never leave or forsake us.
As a response to "progressive Christianity" I say: If your Church starts doing any of the following- A) "blessing" abortion clinics B) siding against Israel C) performing same-gender weddings then it's time to find a new Church...
This pride thing is really gathering momentum here in the UK. Anyone voicing an opinion against it/them are looked upon with a mini anger. I hate it, I disagree with it, I will not support it,

Joe, please do not leave TH-cam. Your ministry is invaluable and message is priceless as a supplement to my weekly Bible study and church service. If you get a plethora of followers, so be it. It glorifies God. It doesn't vainly "elevate your status". It gets The Word out with a great reach. You fill in so many gaps or make things easier to understand.
Please stay I need you now more than ever. I found jesus three years after my mom's death, ever since then I've been attacked by spiritual things even my family has gone against me. I prayjeaua helps me out of here.

Praise Jesus for your willingness to do his work and to be his internet hands and feet 🙏🏻🙌🏻♥️
My name is Tammie and I live in Lebanon, Tennessee USA. I accidentally ran across your channel one evening while surfing for something decent to watch. You see, I lost my husband this past December and it has devastated me. He was an ordained Minister and had been in Gospel Music for more than 50 years. We were very happy and we both have tried to faithfully serve the Lord for most of our adult lives. We had only been married three years because we had both previously lost spouses and the the Lord brought us together. I had three wonderful years with this wonderful Christian man, and I thank Jesus everyday for giving him to me for those three years. My point of this message is to tell you that I agree with your opinion about being in a local church. I say this because through this whole ordeal of losing my sweet husband, my Church family has been wonderful to me. Besides giving me a gift of several hundred dollars to help me with the cost of his service, they sent cards, they took me to dinner, they called and listened to me cry, and most importantly, they prayed with and for me. They were truly the church. They are my family. I have 3 children and 8 grandchildren and many loving friends. I am very blessed. The days and nights are long and lonely but Jesus is here walking and talking with me and speaking peace to my heart. You cannot feel the hug of a brother or sister in Christ online. You can’t feel the squeeze of a hand from someone who truly loves you by sharing the love of Jesus online. So you are totally right Brother Joe! The local church is such a wonderful place to be. I look forward to going through those doors every time they open! God Bless You!
Your "harsh" preaching is more gentle, gracious, encouraging, and yet convicting than some of the "normal" messages from other teachers. Whatever God gives you to speak, do it faithfully with no concern about how it will come across! Thanks brother.
This hit hard. I'm living meagerly in an old RV outside the place I work. I have fallen into despair much. I drive down the road to get a shower and I have fallen in to despair. But this message helped me understand .. Jesus is More Than Enough Love you dearly off the kirb brother

My grandpa has been a faithful servant and pastor of the Lord in Brazil for over 50 years. The Pandemic really pulled apart the small Bible centered church he shepherded. Pray for my grandpa and his ministry. Him and my grandma (she obviously is not a pastor, but went to seminary and is a servant of the Most High) have served God since their youth into their 70s and are now getting old but I pray that the Lord continue to use them into their old age. May the Lord who is above all bless all small faithful churches, all over the world that they may continue being a beacon for the lost and a hospital for the spiritually and physicially sick!
You are an evangelist, an enthusiastic advocate of Jesus Christ. You preach the Gospel to all who will hear. The hand of God is upon you to do His will. Thank you for doing it.
My daughter and I attended a church we loved so much. The people were so kind and welcoming. My daughter at the age of 15 became very ill with a potentially fatal cardiac disorder. She was rushed into surgery. The entire congregation were praying for my baby girl. Well her surgery went very well and we thought she was out of the woods. She came home to recover and our pastor would call to speak with her. Then my daughters condition started to deteriorate. Our pastor told us we needed to come back to church. I told him we couldn't at that time, but we would when her doctors gave the ok. My daughter had to undergo another surgery and her doctors told us she had to be isolated from viruses, and bacteria that could harm her heart. My daughter missed church so much and enjoyed the daily church emails that would be sent to her. When she couldn't go back right away the pastor deleted her from the email list. Our friends would not talk to her. To this day, eight years later I have tried to reach out, with no response. I'm now disabled and have to attend church online. I'm not bitter about what happened. But now I have online friends through my online church and we have Bible study also. I completely agree with what you are saying. But the saying wolf in sheep's clothing definitely describes what we encountered. I feel so blessed to have found your channel Joe. I can understand why people call you pastor Joe. You have such a gift sharing the word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God Bless You
I am a single mom. Physically disabled and now my 12 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease ( they tend to be genetic so we both suffer different auto immune diseases. Plus my spine disability). Pain and severe exhaustion was keeping me from church. Plus her specialists are up at the holiday children's hospital almost 3 hours away. And I can no longer drive or afford a vehicle. We missed months of church. Because I watch numerous different online churches I thought I was still being fed. This past Sunday I ran into our pastor at the store the night before church. I felt convicted for being gone so long. Not by our pastor but by the Lord. Needless to say I pushed through the severe pain and fatigue and I dragged us to church that morning. Oh how I missed the fellowship and worshipping Jesus with others in person. I felt a renewing of Spirit. I came to realize I was letting the enemy keep me from church in person. Was it hard, pain wise? Excruciatingly. But the connection to our Lord again was so needed that I just couldn't get online. We were not jabbed as the Lord told me not to. So I completely understand needing to keep your daughter safe from any infection. I also trust in the Lords protection though. I hope when your daughter has healed and isn't at such a high risk for infection, that you are able to find a place you can go to together. Our children face so much we didn't, growing up and they need church. Don't do what I did and let disability keep you from going. I did and I deeply regret it. Severe pain is tough as it keeps us from so much. We need to push through for our sake and our children's sake. And as far as how your church treated you and your daughter? All I will say is that is no way to lead a flock. May the Lord convict him and show him his wrongdoings to you and your daughter that he repent. I'm so sorry you both were treated in that manner. And at a time when you needed them. Maybe the Lord was showing you you belong at a different place? I will lift your daughter and you in my prayers and I hope one day you can find a wonderful place in person to go to. Christ Jesus bless you and your family!
I'm so happy that you were able to attend your church. I personally come from a family of pastors. Almost every generation on my Dads side. I feel very blessed. I was involved with this particular church in the beginning through music. My daughter is a professional performer. I started attending because she was singing for a special occasion. There was more to this than just her heart surgeries. I didn't want to put this out there, but now I will. We had people in the congregation trying to become famous through our connections. Sending disturbing emails filled with hate because we weren't helping them get famous. One of the base players who was 50 had a crush on my daughter and also the pastor stood up there and told all of us he was having inappropriate thoughts about the women sitting in this church. I didn't want to add this, but since this is a highlighted response I feel now that it's necessary to say. When it comes to my children and their lives, I feel that the Lord has given me common sense. This is not a judgment for anyone choosing their church. But I happen to know alot about illness. I've had 17 surgeries in 15 years just to be able to respond. Pain, boy, you talk about pain. Drain tubes, drain bottles stitched to my abdomen you name it. So when my doctor tells me, you need to be here for your daughter, I listen. I feel that I've been blessed with surviving all of these surgeries and all of the knowledge I've learned to keep my baby safe. So we look at it from both sides. I can call my Grandfather and have a personal service in my home without risking my child's life. Or go online. I remember my God Mother being so sick and not being able to attend. She thought it was a sin. I chose to stay home and take care of her on Sundays. I don't think I'm going to hell for this. God is about Love. In seeing pastor Joe, I felt blessed because he doesn't want the money. I never judge anyone. I remember this beautiful family I knew from this church. They were young and had so much ahead of them. They didn't listen during the lock down. They wanted to attend their church. Well all 5 of them caught Covid. They all died. Personally speaking I stayed home and spoke to my Grandfather. He felt that staying home was the best thing to do. He felt it was so sad to see all of these orphaned children. It's like this, if you're watching the news and you hear there is a mass shooting happening at your local mall, are we supposed to go shopping at that mall that day? Common sense saves lives. I feel God gave us intelligence for a reason. Would someone let their 5 year old daughter walk alone to the store at night. NO. I feel the differences are a personal choice and I totally respect your choice. Now my daughter is an adult living on her own, making her own choices. But I was taught at a very young age by my Dad. You can go either direction in life because God gave us free will. The trick is to choose the path wisely to minimize the suffering. So God Bless You. You and your daughter will be in my prayers. Please know my response is not coming from an angry place, just a knowing place. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, When I started going to church I realized I was in the wrong church....banking machines in the lobby, pastor was above all and had no time for church goers, dressed very cool, he said he was a skateboarder. 15 minute money begging. I didn't care for the worship music. I now belong to a Baptist Bible teaching church and Old hymns are sung in my church. My church is smaller, much better.
I've never seen a Christian as humble as this wow. Seeing is indeed believing. I am new to your channel. I've hit the subscribe button. You may not be a shepherd but your walking in truth and that's what is needed greatly right now.
@@1rocktostandon I also second Derek Prince. I saw him once and binge watched for weeks. There are now channels devoted to his teaching, which make it much easier these days. I would add Encounter TV. He's a slight built Hispanic pastor, excellent and anointed teacher and I love his ecumenical spirit. He doesn't put down other denominations, and doesn't leave out the Orthodox and Catholics either. I'd add a few priests, Father Altman and an exorcist, Father Vincent Lambert (as Derek Prince and the Encounter TV pastor are also called to do). I've found once I wade through what I call, catholiceeze (type of language), that the priests teach very similar to what the protestant deliverance ministers do. I wasn't raised Catholic, so verbiage and dogma has been a learning curve, but it is the history and foundation of our faith, that God has shown me, we'd do well to not throw out all collected wisdom that is there. There's a nice movement where some Christian YTers go to all different denomination of churches, often w/ an appointment to be shown around and have the different accoutrements explained to them. It's esp. interesting when they are Catholic and Orthodox churches, to have the different trappings and ritutals explained. What I found was key, was that all the ritutals done are scripturally based and there's a purpose for every one. Esp. given that these historic churches were leading a flock that was illiterate back in the day.
Well said. I went from riches to rags over night. I slept in my old car for three months in winter. I wouldn't have missed that time . Only the LORD could help me
It took me a while to realise that there is no way I can learn all I want about the Lord and the Bible by just depending on Sunday services and small group meetings/Bible studies. I listen to Christian speakers on TH-cam to supplement my own Bible reading and what I can learn from my church and all the long time Christians who are willing to share their understanding, knowledge and testimonies of God’s faithfulness in their lives. I have learned though to be very careful who I listen to, and to go to the Bible to check what I have heard, and learn more about the subject. So thank you to all Bible-teaching TH-camrs for your contribution to my walk with God.
Do you have any recommendations for Christian speakers that I may look at?I am trying to know more but have a hard time finding other things to listen to
I was tempted to stay home this morning and watch an online sermon but because God gave you the ability to create this video, I got myself moving and went to my home church. I live in Tennessee, work from home remotely and sometimes have a hard time getting myself to leave the house. It’s become my little paradise and I struggle at times with even leaving for church services. May God bless you and your family. Please keep these videos coming. This world is in such disarray and we all need to be more willing to let our light shine and be willing to share His truth.
That was the most Christ centered, love centered, biblically centered message I have heard in a long time and it was certainly what I needed to hear my good brother. Thank you for the truth. 🙏
I'm with you brother I really needed to hear that also. And I have just started following this young man and he is very good what he says in his videos are very touching and true God bless him and all who hear him thanks be to the Lord Jesus
I pray for the day I can overcome my social anxiety from my PTSD and walk into a church and be baptized. I pray to go to a church with a pastor like Joe.
You may not think yourself a shepherd but you’ve been shepherding me for over a month. And your message has strengthened my relationship with God. Thank you and God Bless.
I have been struggling a little to meet my bills and have no funds to fall back on. I have thought about my state and blamed it on something I have not done for God. God has fed me, kept me warm, and provided all my needs. I really have not done without but hearing you had reinforced my relationship with God. I have always prayed and tried to serve Him. God has always been good to me. I do not live lavishly I look around and the devil shows me people who live lavishly but never serve God. I then remember that this is temporary. The deeds we do for God will be rewarded forever.
Brilliant video as usual, thank you for this message Joe, you hit the nail on the head right there about what I’ve been feeling too. Since this is very much a message to fellow Christian TH-camrs I just want to agree with you, we should not let views and popularity dictate if we put out videos or what the topic should be about. This is something I have to stop and pray about continually, that I don’t get blinded making videos on a habit, it’s not a business. Putting out videos on a habit without the guidance of the Spirit of God just makes you feel even more empty. As in every situation in life, don’t move in your own strength but let the Holy Spirit move you into action. We are all vessels used by God in different ways as one unified body, never forget that! /Robin
I always watch every video your channel post. I thank God for the work He does through you. And your videos always come at the right time even if its a month after the last video. And you dont bombard the videos with a 1000 ads😢😢 as other channels. I thank God for constantlt using using you, i pray you continue to work according to the guidance of His Holyspirit and may you be in good health🙏🏽. God bless you
Wow you and Joe are both powerful lips of God and it’s beautiful to see you two coming together to agree on such an important issue! I admire you both. Thankyou for your service of the ushering in of the kingdom of God. God bless you both and your ministries.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a home church since I moved a couple of years ago. Between spinal issues that do not allow me to sit for very long and now the pandemic since I am immunocompromised. It is people like you that help me keep the faith. Thank you.
I understand personally the position you are in. God is enough, Jesus is Lord! Endurance of the saints… it wasn’t called that for no reason. Endurance. What I pray for you, and strength for today.
Kirby, your teachings are a blessing. I'm a toddler in Christ (Sept. 2019), just before the huge shut-in. Imagine my confusion as churches shut doors, fears against brother and sister, etc. because of the unknown c19. I had no fear except for sharing the gospel. I searched for another means of being in church because my own closed its doors. I was heartbroken and wandered the empty streets until I found this small Church run by a little old lady. Now 70, she's a pistol laying hands ón the sick and healing physically and spiritually. I think back on those days and still see the fear of c19 evolving into something worse in the hearts of churchgoers. Many in my huge church still just participate online. It's sad! I have struggled with sloth which causes lukewarmness as I blame it on not hearing what I think should be taught. The Lord has asked me to mature. There's more exposure at the larger church. I had a vision of casting out demons there. But I think my training will be at the small one with the old lady.
Stay in your word. If I could could give ANY advice to a baby Christian who hasnt spent years under indoctrination > please seek to understand OT Torah and how it applies to you. BUT DO NOT STOP THERE!! Continue to move into the New covenant and just watch hiw the Lord will transform your life!
FIRST, Saturate your very being with the word. God's Love Letter to you. It containes everything you need to know about Him. The OT is Christ concealed The NT is Christ revealed. Look and you will find our Lord as the stories of others play out God's plan of redemption, over and over again. SECOND, pray that the Lord will reveal himself to you in a very real way. 🙏 As we yield our will to Him, He fills our hearts with real JOY. ♥️ Happiness is something that the World 🌎 speaks of but cannot provide. This illusive thing truly comes with the realization that Jesus , KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS is living in you. He provides happiness multiplied, or JOY. Something this world cannot take away. I have followed the KING for 65 years now and can truly say, "I have NEVER been sorry."
Joe, you are speaking my truth. My family doesn’t want to hear it. They ask me to stop . Now I’m putting my bible back in the living room, and watching Christian programs and praying the Lord gives me wisdom to show them , tell them. Today my daughter said New Testament does not hold up Ten Commandments. I found scripture to show her the truth. She took one theology course and thinks I’m wrong. I only want her heart to know the truth.
I'm truly sorry for your family choosing not to believe. I ALSO have a couple of children who don't want anything to do with being Christians and they turned their backs on me as well. It's truly sad, 'cause those who live in darkness, hate the light. They choose to live in sin and depise me for wanting a christian home. I just hope and pray that one day, they ALL wake up and return to God.
"You do not get salvation by believing in the wrong gospel it doesn't mater how sincere you are in your belief you are just sincerely wrong" -Voddie Baucham
@@eddetom7417 people who had NDE said they saw the pope in hell. (And the reason he was in hell is because he didn't practice what he preached. Aka a hypocrite) In fact they saw a lot of Christians there and friends and family. What you must understand is claiming to be a Christians and doing good thing DO NOT guarantee your entree into God's kingdom. Because we're all guilty already. The sin of Adam and Eve is engraved in our DNA. So believing in God doesn't mean much because even the devil and his minions believe in God and can talk about his glory too. But what God is looking for is people who seek a relationship with him. Like that of a father and his child.(because he's not your father in heaven but he's also your father's father, your grandfather's father and for all your ancestors) People who hate what this world has become and want to live in new world without sin. God do not invite people he don't know into his house just like us because we're made into his image. Those who want nothing to do with him in their 100 year of lifetime on earth cannot expect to spend the eternity with him in his kingdom. We praise God because he's the most worthy. He's never given up on us even when we failed countless times. He was there. We changed. He hasn't changed. He's still the same who used to walk and visit Adam and Eve.
@@rhyfelwrDuw Do you really think you can speak about the *mother* of Whom you profess to adore, She who bore and breastfed the Lord in such a degrading and demeaning way? Who do you think you are and how much do you think the Lord appreciates you? I'm Orthodox not Catholic but we love and revere and pray to the Theotokos and She has personally saved me. You have no idea how wrong you are.
Even though I see this is from 2 years ago, it randomly came up on my TH-cam feed right on time to minister to me. I will say that I had fallen into the trap of preferring watching my church services online rather than being there in person. It began with sharing online services with one of our elderly shut-ins who otherwise would not have had any other means of participating in any way in the services. Later, after the job ended and the lady passed away, I still tended to prefer to not have to get dressed up for church, watching online instead. As a single person, I've often sensed the spirit of Hagar -- those who are married with children looking down on and despising me for being alone. I'm back in "real" church again and I can attest that it is infinitely better than flat church on my cell phone. It served me well during this long winter of sickness & car trouble but I'm so grateful for the opportunity to once again attend with my brothers & sisters in Christ. Thank you for this timely message I somehow missed two years ago when it first aired.
John, I invite you to visit our church on line. Legacy Church in Albuquerque, NM. Pastor Steve Smotherman is a bible believing and truth preaching Pastor. You will find strength in his messages, too.
Maybe it's best you get Born again and Baptized in JESUS name before you run off doing your own thing, thinking your helping JESUS. You gotta touch first base before you hit a home run moron. Amen
@@alanpinker2041 how are you to know this person's heart ❤ if he / she is born again or not? Better to pray 🙏 for Him/ them. Name calling?? SMH 🤦♀️🥺 I've been in situations exactly like this; actually now facing homelessness again due to GREEDY LANDLORDS...So this makes me not born again? Accountability yes, ( like yourself) judgment No. HEARTBREAKING 🥺💔 WWJD? James 1:7-9 A DOUBLE MINDED MAN IS UNSTABLE IN ALL HIS WAYS. 📖✝️👑😇🔥🤺💃
I know what this feels like. I'm disabled, i have mobility issues, suffer from anxiety and desperately want to find a group of Christians to meet and worship Jesus with. My biggest issue in my area at the moment is churches seem more concerned about covid then they seem concerned about the matters of God and spreading the gospel which deeply saddens me. I play guitar and want to use this gift God gave me in worship and praise to Him with other believers. I try to spread the gospel whenever The Lord gives me the chance to do so to friends, neighbors and anyone else who will listen. Please pray for me that Jesus heals my anxiety and makes me bold and courageous like Paul for Him. I want to be of use to bring glory to The Father and be used by Jesus to spread His message.
Thank you joe,i actually stoped going to church because i had no friends and no one wanted to be with me so i stopped going to church and now i only listen to online churches,and i always want to go back to the church but i needed a sign and u showed me the way through christ thank you joe❤️
Oh my goodness same😂😭... I also need to go back to attending church. I stopped going because I became too comfortable at home. This is also a sign for me...did you manage to go back?
Thank you for your videos. My boyfriend has come back to our Lord. My boyfriends family has a church they attend. We have not physically gone to a church together, my boyfriend has social anxiety, and has had bad experiences in the past with churches. I adore your analogy of a bad meal, it does not mean we will never eat again. I have been patient with my boyfriend accepting our Lord, and I feel so much light and happiness that he has accepted Jesus again. I'm patient my boyfriend will be ready to attend our families church.
@Charlene Roray That was a huge conviction for me after I paid good money to go to a "conference" last year. The Lord made it very clear I shouldn't be there and I actually left early to just drive home and be alone with Him.
@@lulurosenkrantz3720 the church body in unity is not the same as the world in unity. Paraphrasing Jesus here, but He said the church functions as one body. Not the 12,000 denominations we have right now.. it’s a new season.. calling true followers of Christ! The world in unity is the UN takeover, The Global Reset, the Illuminati, worldwide communism, whatever you want to call it. That’s the tower.. but the enemy will not win. Both worlds will collide, but God will win! Team Jesus!! 🙏🏽
Oh Heavenly Father, Blessed Son, and Holy Spirit, You are more than enough for me! help us ALL to come closer and closer to You in Jesus Holy Name I Pray Amen Amen Amen 🙏✝️🕊️
If I could find a church that preached END TIMES and REPENTANCE, I'd go there in a heartbeat. Most churches are dead and many are all about smoke machines and showy music. I ache for the old hymns and non-hypocritical fellowship. Witches have infiltrated the church too.
I agree with you 100%. We attended 3 churches in a row where the pastor turned out to be a "progressive" Christian. So sad. We stopped attending church and study our Bible daily with a fundamental radio ministry.
I’ve just joined a physical church after attending an online one for 3 years. Freedom Church the services are on here if you want to watch. I’ve never felt so challenged in the right way. The Holy Spirit convicting me not condemning. It teaches relationship over religion with God. In my 9 months I have learnt so much and I’ve been a Christian for 21 years and attended a church for years. God is moving at this church, thank goodness God sent me there! Freedom Church is in 22 countries and it has churches here in the U.K.check them out. 🙏😊
I remember during the 90s when a place called Rock House, a church in my area opened for the youth, and I was a teen at that time trying to seek the Lord in my own way, longing to do his will (later I fell away and he called me back years after) but this Church was very much like that. They had the disco ball, loud music, and Preacher who would lip sync on stage and create dramatizations of what he believed was the right thing to do. Since this was a youth group, I can understand that. He would lip sync to Carmen, who at the time was very radically saved. But during the beginning of church they had the disco ball on and all that and In my Spirit I felt the Holy Spirit didn't approve of that way of thinking. It appears he still doesn't. You can't make it all flash and glam and hope the Lord wishes to rest on people and btw, he did and many came down to the alter in those days but that was the 90s, later that church went way because the Pastor and his wife gave up the ministry, also people in the back would fight after service in the parking lot.
That is not always possible, where I live all churches are catholic or lead by women , homosexuals or have mixed witchcraft ,and mysticism into them, here in the U.S. it is very ,very bad . Trying to find true believers in Jesus Christ is nearly impossible.
@@matthewmullikin1940 So many churches in the USA have been infiltrated by the enemy and become social justice platforms instead of the true church of Christ Jesus. It is also very difficult where I live: I almost walked out of the Easter service of our church when the message was anecdotal stories of parents accidentally melting Easter candy when it was shut up in cars, and stats on how man people bite the ears off a chocolate bunny first. I was gobsmacked. The most important victory message on which the glorious gospel of Christ stands, His very resurrection, and our message was about candy.
@@matthewmullikin1940 Where the heck do you live, I haven’t experienced that in the U.S. but I don’t go searching either ha. Us Christians are getting scarce, but like one of the saints said. “ the more I go around men, the more I come home less of a man.” Our early church fathers suffered alone. It is more necessary now.
@@matthewmullikin1940 I feel this also my Area has 4 churches within 5 miles of each other, but they are All LDS denominated because of my location right along the border of Utah.
My church is small lol.. but we love the Lord! And we play and sing old hymns together! I’m from Alabama in the US! We must meet with fellow Christians! You are very right! Thank you for your videos! We give God all the glory!
These days churches has become a business where people are making money out of it , where by souls in that same church are perishing. 😔 May God save our poor souls 🙏🏼🕊
That is true my brother and we have everything we need to learn in the Holy bible. Note that we are in the days of Noah Jesus is coming for his eletc the second set of witnesses. Are you watching Luke 12:36-38
@@graffedin7083Yes. Indeed. All is there , it's we who are running away from the Divine Creator and His Righteousness , His Knowledge and his Son , who is the only Way to Him. #COMEBACKTOTHESCRIPTURES
Joe, it makes me sooooo happy to hear you say you believe the whole Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Hard times are coming!!! Build your foundation on "The Rock". I call Him Yeshua. Yah bless you Joe!!! Please don't ever sell out.
Three years ago I came back to Christ in a big way and took my family with me. We tried to find a church but it was painful. No one teaches the full Scriptures so we home church with just our family. We used to listen to an online pastor but the more we study, the more we see that the messages are not right. Now we just praise God and read the Scriptures....we started in Genesis and will read to Revelation. We would LOVE to have a church!! Be thankful if you do!
My father, when he was alive, sent regular funds to a “prosperity gospel” ministry. When he passed , this ministry contacted me and demanded that I take up that regular donation. I was seriously annoyed and never believed in their message. Great message Joe
@@Seek_Him The ministry is still going and still getting reviews that are not particularly positive. The name of the ministry does not matter as my experience would be pretty much the same across any of them I would think. We cannot “buy” our way into heaven. It is only through faith in Jesus that we are saved.
Can I get some prayers for my father? I’m worried he’s wandering away from Jesus because I never see him reading his Bible or talking about Jesus and he’s always busy working, and he’s always in pain because of his rough job.
People got used to going to church “virtually” at home. As a result, many have not gone back. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔 My church has stated that never will it close its doors again. Keep up the great content.
My church never closed. When we couldn't meet inside, we met in the parking lot in our cars. Every Monday, the pastor was harassed by the "authorities" for not closing the church. He told them the only answer to the plannedemic and everything else this evil world is enduring is Jesus and he was not about to close. To this day, almost two years after the start of the plannedemic, without fail, the church has been open for Monday night prayer, Wednesday night Bible study, and Sunday morning church.
All 501c3 churches in the US are subject to the government. If they don't do as the government says, they lose their 501c3 status or worse. Your leaders need to look into getting out of the 501c3.
btw: I met Jim Elliot's wife in Orlando when i lived there. wonderful woman. the natives were scared out of their minds at the sight of a plane and killed him thinking this was a monster they needed to protect their families from. Mrs. Elliot went on to minister to the tribe, raising her children among them. wonderful story of forgiveness and putting Christ and His gospel first.
I'm just now seeing this video message and I have to say I agree 100% with everything that was said. Especially the last of the video when Joe is talking about how other groups are in the streets drawing attention to themselves but we as Christians seem to be so quiet. Our religious symbols are attacked on a regular basis. The Ten Commandments are taken out of government buildings, crosses are removed from public places, prayer has been taken out of our schools! And yet we talk to each other but we don't make our voices heard! I don't know what the answer is. What I do know is that I don't want to be quiet any longer!
I think is a reason why that song I speak Jesus resonates so powerfully with me as it's all about proclaiming his name and that he's there in all things all the time you need to be looking to him letting him guide you how to properly use your biblical armor. The song with power and reach so yell his name even when you're alone
Honestly, this message pierced my heart probably like no other. I felt like my heart was burning and pounding at the same time. God bless you immensely.
your right joe a pastor came here and when he saw we had not alot of furniture he commented I thought youd just moved in he had a big push car outside never came again
Every day I thank God for the clothes on my back, the food in my belly, the roof over my head, and the job that I have. I also thank Him for loving me and sending His Son Jesus Christ for saving me. I also thank Him for the miseries I deal with every day. I rather not deal with them but then I wouldnt see all the wonderful things He has for me.
Amen I agree. Prosperity gospel needs to stop. People are burning in hell we need to stop getting so comfortable and start winning souls. I am telling myself this as well.
This is the exact gospel preached by most pastors in Uganda my country! Woe to my country, we badly need deliverance in every aspect in my country! Go's save my country!
Thank you, Pastor Joe for your word. It brings light back in my life. I was right before taking my life with 5 kids and a wife. She has broken me many times and I would love to hear you preach a message about my wife cheating on me many times. I can't leave it alone and she expects me to forgive and forget. I know I'm not perfect but I have kept my word and loved her always, but I feel it may happen again and it may not. I have been hurt and I've ask Gpd help me but the devil keeps telling me I'm know good. Please pray for my marriage to either work or what do I need to do Joe? Thank you again and much love mate
One biblical reason for divorce is sexual immorality. So if she is being unfaithful then you have a get out clause from this abuser 🙏 I hope the lord shows you the way out
You can pray for change within your wife but you are also able to divorce on biblical terms and ask for healing. Please don't take your life, that is what Satan wants you to do. God and so many more loves you. God bless
Thank you to everyone who commented back. It means so much to me. I've gotten back in church and praying and try my hardest to stay on the right path. I look forward to meeting Jesus at the gateway to greet me. Thank you all who took the time to pray for me, for my struggles. I love you all and I hope my prayer reaches back out. I want nothing to do in the world anymore and I am going to keep my eyes on the coming of the Lord. Best wishes to you all and God bless you all
Please Jimmy, Keep trusting Our HEAVENLY FATHER thru JESUS CHRIST to help you in this situation. You need the true guidance of believers of JESUS CHRIST to take you and your wife thru the process of accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD & SAVIOUR and be faithfully led by prayers & you will see CHRIST in action overthrowing the demon out of your family and will begin to enjoy a loving family relationship. Do not give in to any suicidal thoughts. Rather get a Bible, read continually even if you don't understand, keep reading to start helping yourself as well. The Words of GOD are light, darkness cannot comprehend. May GOD ALMIGHTY shower HIS mercy upon you . Amen
People have forgotten about people. God came for the sinners not for the saved. So many get fat in the church with the word but never share it. All church is for is fellowship. Jesus sent his disciples into the world that the word of The Father may be shared. I am glad that you are joining us that get out and spread the word.
We are all sinners JESUS came to pay the price so that our sins are paid for and we can come home that is what JESUS came to earth for !repent and ask for forgiveness while you still can!
I am a coward to . I afraid to finish my testimony a book that I feel Father encouraged me to write . I am afraid of push back and other things . How long will it take for me to rise above being a disappointment a failure ? Your bravery has helped me stand up stronger . Thank you. Blessings .Shabbat Shalom
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV
You have been a huge part of my return to Christianity, I can’t even imagine how much god will reward you for what you are doing, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I feel Gods warmth once again after a long long time
I don't. The Spirit leads me, I speak. I don't care if I have friends, or if I'm popular, or if I'm pleasing people. I will speak only what is true and biblical.
Ive been listening to this guy for a month and I can’t stop watching his videos…………….Brother if you read this I want to say thank you for reigniting my love for the word to learn it and teach it. Thank you
Amen! Let’s loose our heads! Soak up in Jesus! Jesus is King! Thank you Joe! I think you carefully and lovingly touched on these important topics without forsaking the truth or stepping on the hearts of anyone! May the Lord continue to work through you and your ministry work in abundance! Blessings to you 🙏🏻
Agreed...we need to remain approachable to those that needs the Lord...if someone shoots down what you said my bother..then the truth is not in them...but you speak..what the Lord laid on your heart..obedience is key to God
@@djpals101 the very fact that we are actually living what's written in it is fact that the bible is real ..give me a list of things that never failed you my friend...if you're honest you'll find nothing..but I assure you ..that there's not one word written in the bible that wasn't or shall be..God is not a liar..or fallible like we are. Two words for you my friend..LIGHT BE...I never spoke it God did..and go look..is,there light??yes my friend ..you know there is..as in your heart you know God is..and His word is Him
@@daughterofsarah6172 also you’re saying god said it but what u actually mean is the bible said it. I’m asking how do you know the bible is the word of god?
I agree 100% with you. I once volunteered to do the books for a Church and did I EVER have my eyes opened. It made me sick to my stomach when I heard the Pastor and what he said concerning money!
thank you for watching 😎

Hi Joe, how’s your day?
.
Can I ask you a favor Joe
Can you make Yt shorts. I want to spread the gospel online in my native language but it's difficult to translate. Tiktok is banned in my country but there are other short video apps that are trending so I hope you would consider it. ☺️
Thanks for impacting lives
When my ex left my daughter and I to fend for ourselves in a foreign country, our home church turned their back on us, too. I had no money, no job and no way to get back to my home country. Yet, during these dark days, Jesus was closer than ever when things seemed hopeless. He provided in amazing ways that let us know He was near.
Amen in Jesus name ❤️
... for when I am weak I AM strong...
His strength is great in times of need. It is Written, He is Jehovah Jireh "The Lord Our Provider" and in Psalms it says The Lord is my Shepherd, i shall not lack.May The Grace of God, The Love of Jesus Christ and The Fellowship of The Holy Spirit be with you always.
Edit He will never leave you nor forsake you, for Thou Art God.
How awful! How wrong of them all, the church didn't help?? What on earth are tithings for, if not for those in need? Most churches think all that money is for then to get bigger paychecks and build bigger, fancier buildings instead of being modest!These churches are flashy, and unbecoming of one who ought to be helping their own communities. I find it revolting. People who have visited hell have said they were surprised to see so many priests and pastors etc. Because these teachers are held at a higher accountability to God for the extra power and blessings that the Lord entrusted them with to do the proper things such as saving those who are in desperate need of direction and financial help.
I know exactly how you feel, been there! God Bless You
Culture is not King
Jesus is King
Amen 🙏 brother.
Burger King ?... joking 😂
Truth Behind The Lies, Amen, Jesus, Is Our Lord and King!!!
So true! Jesus has always supplied my need. We all have vanity in one measure or another. God forgive us. ❤️ your videos, please keep it going. Give us the hard messages, I fall in with one of these and I needed this. God bless you, for correction in love of Christ Jesus.

“We don’t mold the Bible to match our beliefs, rather we mold our beliefs to match the Bible.”
Rabbi Schneerson: We don't bring Torah down to us and decide which laws and principle to live by. We lift ourselves up to Torah in it's entirety.
There u go ✋
When we are baptized in the Holy Spirit we hear with one accord.

That becomes confusing when we have some messages in the bible that seem to conflict.
And it’s so hard to find a church today that speaks the truth
@tim miller... You are so right on that. I want to be baptized but don't want a pastor who isn't true to God's word to baptize me. Made a promise to myself and God that I will get baptized this year...sooner the later. If anyone has any suggestions on who I should ask to baptize me would really appreciate it. 🙏❤️
@@janekirchner3716 Pray on it! Jesus is our best guide. Read the Bible daily. Humble yourself in front of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I’m still fortunate to have a true church who’s not afraid to upset people tell them the truth
Exactly! All of the mega-churches have eaten up the small churches. I can choose from bad or really bad. It's unfortunate.
My pastor was such a rarity in that he preached the truth, to the point he was apparently controversial in the local Baptist Committee. He taught via expository preaching, was unafraid to state that even communion should only be taken when you are saved. He above all though taught in a more organizational manner that churches that rely too heavily on a pastor do not last long without one. He ended up being called elsewhere to preached, and he answered that call from God to uproot. But God worked in our Church and while other churches are failing around us, we remained strong for a whole year before God finally sent us another pastor, whom has the same energy and love for Christ as our old one did. We still go out in public and serve, we still bring people in, we never turn someone away, and while our main congregation is still relatively small, we still are doing alright.
I've have been homeless and hungry and lived in a tent and still love Jesus Christ no matter what came my way and now I'm in an apartment over my head and meals that I can cook and almost back to normal again but still single and going to church and learning to be a healer in Jesus Christ.
Congratulations Michael I Bryan for moving to your own apartment. Having a roof over your head is the first step. Hang on to Jesus. He has put a roof over your head, food on your table and you're in good health. Glory be to God. Keep serving God, He will bring the right person to your life. Love will find you! Take care brother. Stay safe.
May God continue to bless you n draw you closer to Him.

"If you only had clothes on your back, a roof over your head, food on the table, and Jesus Christ would it be enough?" Thank you for this convicting question!
It is enough for me. But there's a family that has other wants and there's a government that wants it's taxes and there are the needy I would like to help and a world out there that SEEKS after all these things and Jesus said the Father knows you have need of these things and WILL GIVE YOU THEM.
Yes it is enough! Even without the roof food and clothes! But thank God for providing!
To agree with the Bible seems easy, but to live it is hard for most people.
@@aalot6744 Jesus said "you can do NOTHING WITHOUT ME". IF you're born-again believer you are never going to be without him because he said he will never leave you or forsake you.
Trusting Him today is easy because Christ died for us while we were yet sinners and His grace is sufficient for us to overcome our every trial.
I believe that no matter what state I am in, Jesus will always be enough for me. Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, the only Life. Jesus is the only Way to the Father. Blessings
I'm a pastor in Pennsylvania USA-brother Joe-you are a blessing and you are wise beyond your years. Thank you for shining the light of Christ in England and across the pond too! God bless you!
Hi Doug
where are you a pastor in Pa?
I have an inspiration to infiltrate all forum's using the comment on internet to spread seeds of Jesus just scripture and would love help putting together verses to reach Hebrews as i am a saved Hebrew. If brothers and sisters would use there interests cars; animals; Cooking; building; what ever it is and just plant Bible verses in comment sections
Gods promises his word will not come back void.
I would love to do street preaching🙏
street singing the word of God so many are hungry for the truth!!!
sad so many headed for hell and all i see is brothers and sisters wanting to be raptured its not wrong to want but so many stiff neck hebrews and Gentiles headed the wrong way🙏
@@DK-ik6fr I am in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Really appreciate your thoughtful Bible centered responses.

Yes,,,, this is a good preacher,,, some of us cannot go to church, but I watch at home….
I'm a 57 year old woman who is a Christian. My husband is 50 and we've been married for 25 years. Even though I became a Christian at 13, at the time I got married I was far from living a Christian life. I've dedicated my life to Christ 7 years ago and found a church home that I love and trust very much. Spring City Baptist in Joplin, Missouri. Please pray for my husband Eric to come to Christ. I try to witness to him just by daily living, bc he is not the kind of man to be pressured. I know it's truely up to THE HOLY SPIRIT to move him. I love your videos. I'm glad THE HOLY SPIRIT never gave up on you.
Praying The Lord Jesus saves your husband
We are praying for you and your family

I was a pastor's daughter. People in churches drove me away from church attendance because of how they treated me, from childhood to adulthood, from the USA to my US Navy service in Italy and back to the US again, I went to church; I was often involved in some aspect of the church ministry. But the lack of love, the condemnation over superficial things (like that I wore 2nd hand clothes, or jeans because I was a passenger on a motorcycle going to church), yes it was the lack of love and acceptance that finally drove me away. The final straw was when a church wouldn't allow me to become a member, because they didn't accept my baptism, since it wasn't being baptised into that particular style of church! 🤦♀
And for many years now, I've been disabled and can't often leave my home. It's been lonely without the fellowship, but Yehovah has been still providing for me. And now, I'm finding people through online who I can fellowship with, because we have the love of our Savior and reading the scriptures and talking about our reading and learning. No, it's not the same as in person, but Yehovah is providing for me, and I am grateful.
Glad to have found you, Joe. There are so few preachers who have genuine love and compassion for people, whether online or in person. Keep ministering as the Holy Spirit leads you. Yehovah bless you and keep you.
Amen you have been helping me alot thank you
I left my church that I had worked for. For many years, even as a child. But I was from the poor side of town. The girls from school in my class, Her Father was in choir with me. I would watch these hippocrites making eyes at each other and smiling lovingly in choir . They were both married to other people. But they did this in church. How could they believe and love God. ? They wouldn't let me get married there. They discontinued my membership at church. I helped build and clean that church. I did VBS as a kid. I helped with Sunday School. I took confirmation there. And I was dumped from my church. I loved that church. There's other churches too. I'm a dedicated person. I love church. I enjoy going and working there. Fellowship. I'm so sorry for you. Presently, I'll call those who can't get out, I let her talk non stop. She needs to have friends and people who care. This lady is about my age. So yes I call her ever so often. She can remember the good old days talking to me. I believe, it helps. God Bless You.
God bless you
The Church will not save you, only Jesus can save you. Going to church is a “work”. We are not saved by works, but by faith, confession, and trust in Jesus Christ. The thief on the cross had absolutely NO WORKS. All he had was a last minute repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. He was saved by grace and not by attending or being a bonafide member of organized religion.
CS... God bless you dear one, you did well to get away from such a lot of legalistic people who seem more concerned with what people wear than OBEYING the Word of God. I had my own bunch of craziness in a few churches I've attended. And yes even when I forgave, turned the other cheek, they kept on. Women pastors that had no business preaching because that goes against the Word of God. I left when I noticed that this wasn't " CHURCH" it was more of a talent show, and that even if they had 5 pastors, they picked out whatever scriptures they could use to control the church and they could interpret in anyway THEY wanted it was all wrong.
Every knee shall bow and everymouth shall confess..that Jesus Christ is LORD
Philippians 2:10-11. You gotta love that poem.
AMEN
Chris C, Humble Yourself, Before God The Almighty, Our Creator, Our Loving, Amazing Father In Heaven. He Loves Us All Equally, Saint, or Sinner, So Much So, that He Sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to Save us from sin. Jesus Took our Place on The Cross, Paid the Price for our sin, Shed His Blood as an Atoning Sacrifice, So that we might be Saved. He Suffered the Wrath of God, Which we So Richly Deserve. He died, and on the 3rd day, He Arose to His Father, Our Father, In Heaven, where He sits at God's Right Hand. He Still Intercedes For Us 2dy, as He Did, while on the earth. Jesus Always Prayed to Our Father, Pleaded and Cried For Us, Followed and Obeyed our Father, Even Unto death, on The Cross. Because He Wants us to Be Saved, It Grieves Him and Our Father, If Even One of us Is Lost. They Love Us More than we Can Comprehend, (Understand.) But God Gives us that Choice, Make The Right Choice Today, Tomorrow is Not Guaranteed. By Jesus Ascending to Heaven, to Be With Our Father, Gives us that Hope, that Promise, of Eternal Life, With Jesus, Our Lord and King. God Always Keeps His Promise, unlike man, who is weak.
Philippians 2:5-11.!!
@Chris C For non existent entities of course all humanity won't bow.
But for God who is real, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
This is not talking about now. This is the time of the great white throne judgement. That time the knees of every living creature shall bow and every tongue of every living creature will confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
It is not an option or a suggestion, it will be a command. Yes this will be forced. And no one can resist. We are talking about GOD. Not puny fable gods & demigods made up by people who go on killing each other, and can be killed. God is a being who can NEVER EVER EVER be killed/die.
Jokes on people who make gods that can die.

You are so correct! I remember my first time in 5th grade at a catholic school when an announcement came on the speaker that we were no longer able to say the LORDS prayer but were to put our hands over our hearts and recite the national anthem. I got suspended for a week because I loudly spoke the LORDS prayer instead. 🙏 🙏🙏
That is true courage-I'm proud of you!!
A catholic school now allowing the Lord’s Prayer??? How long ago was this if I may ask.
Now are scold able to say the pledge as it is written or is God been removed?
Mann..how long ago was this? Prayer was taken out in the 90s in my school and early 2000s is when the pledge of alliance was not to be said anymore because of "one nation under God"
It was back in like 1984.

I did need to hear this. I repented in 2020. It's been very strange times since then and I haven't found a church yet. Social anxiety has gotten worse, but I'm so ready to be with other believers to worship and serve. Thank you for this message.
Me too. I study and pray, but still haven't found a church. I'm scared for some reason.
I pray you have discernment to find a good church and the obedience to follow through and not forsake the gathering but be a part of the body!!! 🙏
Find a church with small groups. You don't have to go to the big service until you're comfortable.
Praying for God to lead you..until He does, read the Word, and draw close to Jesus..He's right there with you..He said He will never leave us nor forsake us..He's our Good Shphered..Read the Psalms proverbs, for comfort and wisdom..the gospels to know Jesus better, the old testament to see the men and women of God, who had faith and talked to God..each book of the Bible points to Jesus...you are loved❤️🙏
Push yourself to find a credible church....Cuz as a young Christian you need the "word" to GROW in Christ...PRAYERS for you always!🙏💙 He will help you! Just ask him for WISDOM & his GUIDANCE! 🙏😇 💙
When you GROW in God's word, most likely the DEVIL will FLEE from you...Cuz he won't bug you or HANG AROUND IF he sees he's NOT getting anywhere w/ you!!!! Then you can help encourage others! Tht pleases God!
May GOD BLESS you always! 🙏❤️ Stay STRONG Stay READY!
He's returning soon for his followers!!!! ♥️👍🥰🙏😇!

Songs we sing in church, even good churches, are all about us. I really can’t tolerate most contemporary Christian music. I finally found a local church that teaches scripture and sings the old hymns. The desire to meet with Gods people has returned in my life. And I thank God. Good word brother❤️
Praise the Lord! I grew up in a charismatic non-denom church. Then I came to a Baptist church at 20 years old and heard hymns and loved it. I love all the doctrine that is embedded in them. Now ten years later, by the grace of God I am a Pastors wife and so thankful He brought me out of a “feelings church” to a fundamental church
Centro Evangelico Vida Nueva
Ours does a Traditional and Contemporary Service weekly. 😇
i agree with you and last week , i also found a local church that teaches scripture and sings old meaningful, refreshing hymns.
Yeah I can’t stand what they sing in “modern” day churches.
It’s so hard to find a church that teaches the truth. It feels like a secular concert followed by a motivational speaker at the country club now. We are looking. We certainly haven’t given up! Please say a quick prayer we will find a church that speaks the Word!
Church is in you,your heart of hearts is the deeper meaning of such,give Jesus your worship,for you are created In God's Image
You are already his tabernacle, the Bible is thy sanctuary,
For you are HIS PRECIOUS TREASURE....SUP WITH HIM,AND HE SHALL SUP WITH YOU...GOD WANTS A PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU,AND,FOR ALL...THE LORD ONLY WANTS YOU....WE ARE IN GODS PRESENCE..READ JOHN 4:23&24 AND ALL OF JOHN...
@Annie Oakley you are absolutely right. If you can find a group of family, friends, other believers you open YHWH's word & you fellowship at your home, at the park, by the lake... wherever you are. The Most High is not in buildings made by mans hands. Thats why its so hard to find a church that teaches truth. We are the church. Here's something to revisit.
Acts 7:48-49
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

Please you guys do not go back to your sin. What I’m trying to say is. “Though a righteous man fall seven times. He will rise again.”
I will keep you in prayer . Fast , put script in front of you and you will see that God's word is stronger that of the devil. The bible says God will not give you more than you could handle so I happy to tell you, you will not do it again you will fight with God's word and win. Then you can help other's .

As a response to "progressive Christianity" I say:
If your Church starts doing any of the following-
A) "blessing" abortion clinics
B) siding against Israel
C) performing same-gender weddings
then it's time to find a new Church...
This pride thing is really gathering momentum here in the UK. Anyone voicing an opinion against it/them are looked upon with a mini anger.

Joe, please do not leave TH-cam. Your ministry is invaluable and message is priceless as a supplement to my weekly Bible study and church service.
If you get a plethora of followers, so be it. It glorifies God. It doesn't vainly "elevate your status". It gets The Word out with a great reach. You fill in so many gaps or make things easier to understand.

My name is Tammie and I live in Lebanon, Tennessee USA. I accidentally ran across your channel one evening while surfing for something decent to watch. You see, I lost my husband this past December and it has devastated me. He was an ordained Minister and had been in Gospel Music for more than 50 years. We were very happy and we both have tried to faithfully serve the Lord for most of our adult lives. We had only been married three years because we had both previously lost spouses and the the Lord brought us together. I had three wonderful years with this wonderful Christian man, and I thank Jesus everyday for giving him to me for those three years. My point of this message is to tell you that I agree with your opinion about being in a local church. I say this because through this whole ordeal of losing my sweet husband, my Church family has been wonderful to me. Besides giving me a gift of several hundred dollars to help me with the cost of his service, they sent cards, they took me to dinner, they called and listened to me cry, and most importantly, they prayed with and for me. They were truly the church. They are my family. I have 3 children and 8 grandchildren and many loving friends. I am very blessed. The days and nights are long and lonely but Jesus is here walking and talking with me and speaking peace to my heart. You cannot feel the hug of a brother or sister in Christ online. You can’t feel the squeeze of a hand from someone who truly loves you by sharing the love of Jesus online. So you are totally right Brother Joe! The local church is such a wonderful place to be. I look forward to going through those doors every time they open! God Bless You!
God bless you and your family . So sorry for your loss but as a believer, you know you will see him again !
It is so refreshing to listen to a young man whose heart is all for our Lord and not for himself at all.
SO True, Helen!
You call this harsh preaching/teaching with a calming voice like yours, it just helps you clearly understand things. Your voice calms me honestly.
God bless you
I Agree With Everything You Said, Joe, Truth, Brother! God Bless You and Your Family, and Your Ministry! Keep On Preaching Brother!
He delivers it really nicely I thought so too and needed to be said
I agree with ya bro/sis.. Haha!
Excellent...I like this. So very true 👍
Your "harsh" preaching is more gentle, gracious, encouraging, and yet convicting than some of the "normal" messages from other teachers. Whatever God gives you to speak, do it faithfully with no concern about how it will come across! Thanks brother.
Amen

My daughter and I attended a church we loved so much. The people were so kind and welcoming. My daughter at the age of 15 became very ill with a potentially fatal cardiac disorder. She was rushed into surgery. The entire congregation were praying for my baby girl. Well her surgery went very well and we thought she was out of the woods. She came home to recover and our pastor would call to speak with her. Then my daughters condition started to deteriorate. Our pastor told us we needed to come back to church. I told him we couldn't at that time, but we would when her doctors gave the ok. My daughter had to undergo another surgery and her doctors told us she had to be isolated from viruses, and bacteria that could harm her heart. My daughter missed church so much and enjoyed the daily church emails that would be sent to her. When she couldn't go back right away the pastor deleted her from the email list. Our friends would not talk to her. To this day, eight years later I have tried to reach out, with no response. I'm now disabled and have to attend church online. I'm not bitter about what happened. But now I have online friends through my online church and we have Bible study also. I completely agree with what you are saying. But the saying wolf in sheep's clothing definitely describes what we encountered. I feel so blessed to have found your channel Joe. I can understand why people call you pastor Joe. You have such a gift sharing the word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
God Bless You
I am a single mom. Physically disabled and now my 12 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease ( they tend to be genetic so we both suffer different auto immune diseases. Plus my spine disability). Pain and severe exhaustion was keeping me from church. Plus her specialists are up at the holiday children's hospital almost 3 hours away. And I can no longer drive or afford a vehicle. We missed months of church. Because I watch numerous different online churches I thought I was still being fed. This past Sunday I ran into our pastor at the store the night before church. I felt convicted for being gone so long. Not by our pastor but by the Lord. Needless to say I pushed through the severe pain and fatigue and I dragged us to church that morning. Oh how I missed the fellowship and worshipping Jesus with others in person. I felt a renewing of Spirit. I came to realize I was letting the enemy keep me from church in person. Was it hard, pain wise? Excruciatingly. But the connection to our Lord again was so needed that I just couldn't get online. We were not jabbed as the Lord told me not to. So I completely understand needing to keep your daughter safe from any infection. I also trust in the Lords protection though. I hope when your daughter has healed and isn't at such a high risk for infection, that you are able to find a place you can go to together. Our children face so much we didn't, growing up and they need church. Don't do what I did and let disability keep you from going. I did and I deeply regret it. Severe pain is tough as it keeps us from so much. We need to push through for our sake and our children's sake.
And as far as how your church treated you and your daughter? All I will say is that is no way to lead a flock. May the Lord convict him and show him his wrongdoings to you and your daughter that he repent. I'm so sorry you both were treated in that manner. And at a time when you needed them. Maybe the Lord was showing you you belong at a different place?
I will lift your daughter and you in my prayers and I hope one day you can find a wonderful place in person to go to. Christ Jesus bless you and your family!
I'm so happy that you were able to attend your church.
I personally come from a family of pastors. Almost every generation on my Dads side. I feel very blessed. I was involved with this particular church in the beginning through music. My daughter is a professional performer. I started attending because she was singing for a special occasion. There was more to this than just her heart surgeries. I didn't want to put this out there, but now I will. We had people in the congregation trying to become famous through our connections. Sending disturbing emails filled with hate because we weren't helping them get famous. One of the base players who was 50 had a crush on my daughter and also the pastor stood up there and told all of us he was having inappropriate thoughts about the women sitting in this church. I didn't want to add this, but since this is a highlighted response I feel now that it's necessary to say.
When it comes to my children and their lives, I feel that the Lord has given me common sense. This is not a judgment for anyone choosing their church. But I happen to know alot about illness. I've had 17 surgeries in 15 years just to be able to respond. Pain, boy, you talk about pain. Drain tubes, drain bottles stitched to my abdomen you name it. So when my doctor tells me, you need to be here for your daughter, I listen. I feel that I've been blessed with surviving all of these surgeries and all of the knowledge I've learned to keep my baby safe. So we look at it from both sides.
I can call my Grandfather and have a personal service in my home without risking my child's life. Or go online. I remember my God Mother being so sick and not being able to attend. She thought it was a sin. I chose to stay home and take care of her on Sundays. I don't think I'm going to hell for this. God is about Love. In seeing pastor Joe, I felt blessed because he doesn't want the money. I never judge anyone. I remember this beautiful family I knew from this church. They were young and had so much ahead of them. They didn't listen during the lock down. They wanted to attend their church. Well all 5 of them caught Covid. They all died. Personally speaking I stayed home and spoke to my Grandfather. He felt that staying home was the best thing to do. He felt it was so sad to see all of these orphaned children. It's like this, if you're watching the news and you hear there is a mass shooting happening at your local mall, are we supposed to go shopping at that mall that day? Common sense saves lives. I feel God gave us intelligence for a reason. Would someone let their 5 year old daughter walk alone to the store at night. NO. I feel the differences are a personal choice and I totally respect your choice. Now my daughter is an adult living on her own, making her own choices. But I was taught at a very young age by my Dad. You can go either direction in life because God gave us free will. The trick is to choose the path wisely to minimize the suffering.
So God Bless You. You and your daughter will be in my prayers. Please know my response is not coming from an angry place, just a knowing place.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, When I started going to church I realized I was in the wrong church....banking machines in the lobby, pastor was above all and had no time for church goers, dressed very cool, he said he was a skateboarder. 15 minute money begging. I didn't care for the worship music. I now belong to a Baptist Bible teaching church and Old hymns are sung in my church. My church is smaller, much better.

I've never seen a Christian as humble as this wow. Seeing is indeed believing. I am new to your channel. I've hit the subscribe button. You may not be a shepherd but your walking in truth and that's what is needed greatly right now.
Look up Derek Prince who’s with Jesus now but so humble and everything biblical. Amazing teacher of scripture
Amen.
@@1rocktostandon I also second Derek Prince. I saw him once and binge watched for weeks. There are now channels devoted to his teaching, which make it much easier these days. I would add Encounter TV. He's a slight built Hispanic pastor, excellent and anointed teacher and I love his ecumenical spirit. He doesn't put down other denominations, and doesn't leave out the Orthodox and Catholics either. I'd add a few priests, Father Altman and an exorcist, Father Vincent Lambert (as Derek Prince and the Encounter TV pastor are also called to do). I've found once I wade through what I call, catholiceeze (type of language), that the priests teach very similar to what the protestant deliverance ministers do.
I wasn't raised Catholic, so verbiage and dogma has been a learning curve, but it is the history and foundation of our faith, that God has shown me, we'd do well to not throw out all collected wisdom that is there. There's a nice movement where some Christian YTers go to all different denomination of churches, often w/ an appointment to be shown around and have the different accoutrements explained to them. It's esp. interesting when they are Catholic and Orthodox churches, to have the different trappings and ritutals explained. What I found was key, was that all the ritutals done are scripturally based and there's a purpose for every one. Esp. given that these historic churches were leading a flock that was illiterate back in the day.
Your ministry is a true blessing, continue to lift Jesus Christ!
Praise God, thank you for watching brother James!
I'm catholic, But this still hits hard. I might only be a kid, but this still hits hard. God bless you! You inspire me A LOT.
Why are you a Catholic does the Bible Say's be that no it didn't God said be holy because I am holy Catholic is man made
Well said. I went from riches to rags over night. I slept in my old car for three months in winter.
I wouldn't have missed that time . Only the LORD could help me
It took me a while to realise that there is no way I can learn all I want about the Lord and the Bible by just depending on Sunday services and small group meetings/Bible studies. I listen to Christian speakers on TH-cam to supplement my own Bible reading and what I can learn from my church and all the long time Christians who are willing to share their understanding, knowledge and testimonies of God’s faithfulness in their lives. I have learned though to be very careful who I listen to, and to go to the Bible to check what I have heard, and learn more about the subject. So thank you to all Bible-teaching TH-camrs for your contribution to my walk with God.
I HAVE LEARNT SO MUCH MORE WITHOUT A CHURCH BUILDING
Do you have any recommendations for Christian speakers that I may look at?I am trying to know more but have a hard time finding other things to listen to
The word never changes but our culture does.
I was tempted to stay home this morning and watch an online sermon but because God gave you the ability to create this video, I got myself moving and went to my home church.
I live in Tennessee, work from home remotely and sometimes have a hard time getting myself to leave the house. It’s become my little paradise and I struggle at times with even leaving for church services.
May God bless you and your family. Please keep these videos coming. This world is in such disarray and we all need to be more willing to let our light shine and be willing to share His truth.
That was the most Christ centered, love centered, biblically centered message I have heard in a long time and it was certainly what I needed to hear my good brother. Thank you for the truth. 🙏
I'm with you brother I really needed to hear that also. And I have just started following this young man and he is very good what he says in his videos are very touching and true God bless him and all who hear him thanks be to the Lord Jesus
Amen
Please believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins he was buried and rose again on the 3rd day! Jesus loves you and is waiting with open arms!
I pray for the day I can overcome my social anxiety from my PTSD and walk into a church and be baptized. I pray to go to a church with a pastor like Joe.
I am in agreement with your prayer in Jesus name. You will do it! 🙌
I also am in agreement with your prayer. Amen🙏
Were you in the army?

Yes, I'm ex military.
Hi Peter, I hope you will overcome by the power of our Saviour.
You may not think yourself a shepherd but you’ve been shepherding me for over a month. And your message has strengthened my relationship with God. Thank you and God Bless.
I have been struggling a little to meet my bills and have no funds to fall back on. I have thought about my state and blamed it on something I have not done for God. God has fed me, kept me warm, and provided all my needs. I really have not done without but hearing you had reinforced my relationship with God. I have always prayed and tried to serve Him. God has always been good to me. I do not live lavishly I look around and the devil shows me people who live lavishly but never serve God. I then remember that this is temporary. The deeds we do for God will be rewarded forever.
AMEN !!!
Brilliant video as usual, thank you for this message Joe, you hit the nail on the head right there about what I’ve been feeling too.
Since this is very much a message to fellow Christian TH-camrs I just want to agree with you, we should not let views and popularity dictate if we put out videos or what the topic should be about.
This is something I have to stop and pray about continually, that I don’t get blinded making videos on a habit, it’s not a business. Putting out videos on a habit without the guidance of the Spirit of God just makes you feel even more empty. As in every situation in life, don’t move in your own strength but let the Holy Spirit move you into action.
We are all vessels used by God in different ways as one unified body, never forget that! /Robin
Thank you Alpha and Omega productions. Your videos have helped me further understand the Christian faith. May God continue to bless you and use you.
I always watch every video your channel post. I thank God for the work He does through you. And your videos always come at the right time even if its a month after the last video. And you dont bombard the videos with a 1000 ads😢😢 as other channels. I thank God for constantlt using using you, i pray you continue to work according to the guidance of His Holyspirit and may you be in good health🙏🏽. God bless you
Love you brother Robin, keep fighting the good fight!
Your videos are very eye opening and quicken my soul, I pray u keep making only true based videos as u have
Wow you and Joe are both powerful lips of God and it’s beautiful to see you two coming together to agree on such an important issue! I admire you both. Thankyou for your service of the ushering in of the kingdom of God. God bless you both and your ministries.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a home church since I moved a couple of years ago. Between spinal issues that do not allow me to sit for very long and now the pandemic since I am immunocompromised. It is people like you that help me keep the faith. Thank you.

@@dottietruthseeker4546 a;; lonely women seek Jesus the invisible lover
Kirby, your teachings are a blessing. I'm a toddler in Christ (Sept. 2019), just before the huge shut-in. Imagine my confusion as churches shut doors, fears against brother and sister, etc. because of the unknown c19.
I had no fear except for sharing the gospel. I searched for another means of being in church because my own closed its doors. I was heartbroken and wandered the empty streets until I found this small Church run by a little old lady. Now 70, she's a pistol laying hands ón the sick and healing physically and spiritually.
I think back on those days and still see the fear of c19 evolving into something worse in the hearts of churchgoers. Many in my huge church still just participate online. It's sad!
I have struggled with sloth which causes lukewarmness as I blame it on not hearing what I think should be taught. The Lord has asked me to mature. There's more exposure at the larger church. I had a vision of casting out demons there. But I think my training will be at the small one with the old lady.
Stay in your word. If I could could give ANY advice to a baby Christian who hasnt spent years under indoctrination > please seek to understand OT Torah and how it applies to you. BUT DO NOT STOP THERE!! Continue to move into the New covenant and just watch hiw the Lord will transform your life!
FIRST, Saturate your very being with the word. God's Love Letter to you. It containes everything you need to know about Him.
The OT is Christ concealed
The NT is Christ revealed.
Look and you will find our Lord as the stories of others play out God's plan of redemption, over and over again.
SECOND, pray that the Lord will reveal himself to you in a very real way. 🙏 As we yield our will to Him, He fills our hearts with real JOY. ♥️ Happiness is something that the World 🌎 speaks of but cannot provide. This illusive thing truly comes with the realization that
Jesus , KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS is living in you. He provides happiness multiplied, or JOY. Something this world cannot take away.
I have followed the KING for 65 years now and can truly say, "I have NEVER been sorry."
Joe, you are speaking my truth. My family doesn’t want to hear it. They ask me to stop . Now I’m putting my bible back in the living room, and watching Christian programs and praying the Lord gives me wisdom to show them , tell them. Today my daughter said New Testament does not hold up Ten Commandments. I found scripture to show her the truth. She took one theology course and thinks I’m wrong. I only want her heart to know the truth.
Hang in there. God is with u all the way
I'm truly sorry for your family choosing not to believe. I ALSO have a couple of children who don't want anything to do with being Christians and they turned their backs on me as well. It's truly sad, 'cause those who live in darkness, hate the light. They choose to live in sin and depise me for wanting a christian home. I just hope and pray that one day, they ALL wake up and return to God.
Do it, sister
I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will soften your daughters heart and speak to her by showing her the truth of the gospel. Amen , sister in Christ.🙏
I'll say take it slow.
With time and prayer, circumstances and people change.

Ask the pope. He gained the worldly stuff.
@@eddetom7417 The pope isn't a Christian! The pope follows worldly things, social justice stuff, Mary, but not Christ!
Carrie's Comments and he follows prosperity believes/Catholic
@@eddetom7417 people who had NDE said they saw the pope in hell. (And the reason he was in hell is because he didn't practice what he preached. Aka a hypocrite) In fact they saw a lot of Christians there and friends and family. What you must understand is claiming to be a Christians and doing good thing DO NOT guarantee your entree into God's kingdom. Because we're all guilty already. The sin of Adam and Eve is engraved in our DNA.
So believing in God doesn't mean much because even the devil and his minions believe in God and can talk about his glory too. But what God is looking for is people who seek a relationship with him. Like that of a father and his child.(because he's not your father in heaven but he's also your father's father, your grandfather's father and for all your ancestors) People who hate what this world has become and want to live in new world without sin. God do not invite people he don't know into his house just like us because we're made into his image.
Those who want nothing to do with him in their 100 year of lifetime on earth cannot expect to spend the eternity with him in his kingdom.
We praise God because he's the most worthy. He's never given up on us even when we failed countless times. He was there. We changed. He hasn't changed. He's still the same who used to walk and visit Adam and Eve.

You have no idea how wrong you are.
Even though I see this is from 2 years ago, it randomly came up on my TH-cam feed right on time to minister to me. I will say that I had fallen into the trap of preferring watching my church services online rather than being there in person. It began with sharing online services with one of our elderly shut-ins who otherwise would not have had any other means of participating in any way in the services. Later, after the job ended and the lady passed away, I still tended to prefer to not have to get dressed up for church, watching online instead. As a single person, I've often sensed the spirit of Hagar -- those who are married with children looking down on and despising me for being alone. I'm back in "real" church again and I can attest that it is infinitely better than flat church on my cell phone. It served me well during this long winter of sickness & car trouble but I'm so grateful for the opportunity to once again attend with my brothers & sisters in Christ.
Thank you for this timely message I somehow missed two years ago when it first aired.

I know what this feels like. I'm disabled, i have mobility issues, suffer from anxiety and desperately want to find a group of Christians to meet and worship Jesus with. My biggest issue in my area at the moment is churches seem more concerned about covid then they seem concerned about the matters of God and spreading the gospel which deeply saddens me. I play guitar and want to use this gift God gave me in worship and praise to Him with other believers. I try to spread the gospel whenever The Lord gives me the chance to do so to friends, neighbors and anyone else who will listen. Please pray for me that Jesus heals my anxiety and makes me bold and courageous like Paul for Him. I want to be of use to bring glory to The Father and be used by Jesus to spread His message.
Have faith go out even on the street corner surely someone will listen.. 👍🏾
Maybe you could make videos of your guitar playing to praise God?
Maybe God doesn't want you to only use your guitar. Maybe he wants you to simply tell people the good news. 🤷♀️. JS
Thank you joe,i actually stoped going to church because i had no friends and no one wanted to be with me so i stopped going to church and now i only listen to online churches,and i always want to go back to the church but i needed a sign and u showed me the way through christ thank you joe❤️
Accountability time: it’s been five months- did you find a church to attend? 😉
Oh my goodness same😂😭... I also need to go back to attending church. I stopped going because I became too comfortable at home. This is also a sign for me...did you manage to go back?
Thank you for your videos. My boyfriend has come back to our Lord. My boyfriends family has a church they attend. We have not physically gone to a church together, my boyfriend has social anxiety, and has had bad experiences in the past with churches. I adore your analogy of a bad meal, it does not mean we will never eat again. I have been patient with my boyfriend accepting our Lord, and I feel so much light and happiness that he has accepted Jesus again. I'm patient my boyfriend will be ready to attend our families church.
I've lost a lot of friends speaking up about these things. Thank you for using your platform to do so.
@Charlene Roray That was a huge conviction for me after I paid good money to go to a "conference" last year. The Lord made it very clear I shouldn't be there and I actually left early to just drive home and be alone with Him.
I actually just realized I'm currently wearing the "merch" sweatshirt I bought in their giftshop 🙄

If I could find a church that preached END TIMES and REPENTANCE, I'd go there in a heartbeat. Most churches are dead and many are all about smoke machines and showy music. I ache for the old hymns and non-hypocritical fellowship. Witches have infiltrated the church too.
I agree with you 100%. We attended 3 churches in a row where the pastor turned out to be a "progressive" Christian. So sad. We stopped attending church and study our Bible daily with a fundamental radio ministry.
Go to a Pentecostal apostolic the truth is there no concerts no shows just Holy Spirit working
Where do you live?
I’ve just joined a physical church after attending an online one for 3 years. Freedom Church the services are on here if you want to watch. I’ve never felt so challenged in the right way. The Holy Spirit convicting me not condemning. It teaches relationship over religion with God. In my 9 months I have learnt so much and I’ve been a Christian for 21 years and attended a church for years. God is moving at this church, thank goodness God sent me there! Freedom Church is in 22 countries and it has churches here in the U.K.check them out. 🙏😊
I remember during the 90s when a place called Rock House, a church in my area opened for the youth, and I was a teen at that time trying to seek the Lord in my own way, longing to do his will (later I fell away and he called me back years after) but this Church was very much like that. They had the disco ball, loud music, and Preacher who would lip sync on stage and create dramatizations of what he believed was the right thing to do. Since this was a youth group, I can understand that. He would lip sync to Carmen, who at the time was very radically saved. But during the beginning of church they had the disco ball on and all that and In my Spirit I felt the Holy Spirit didn't approve of that way of thinking. It appears he still doesn't. You can't make it all flash and glam and hope the Lord wishes to rest on people and btw, he did and many came down to the alter in those days but that was the 90s, later that church went way because the Pastor and his wife gave up the ministry, also people in the back would fight after service in the parking lot.
You are so right about the Church is being run like a business with a CEO. It is sickening.
It is important to assemble with our brothers and sisters in Christ, in flesh.
That is not always possible, where I live all churches are catholic or lead by women , homosexuals or have mixed witchcraft ,and mysticism into them, here in the U.S. it is very ,very bad . Trying to find true believers in Jesus Christ is nearly impossible.
@@matthewmullikin1940 So many churches in the USA have been infiltrated by the enemy and become social justice platforms instead of the true church of Christ Jesus. It is also very difficult where I live: I almost walked out of the Easter service of our church when the message was anecdotal stories of parents accidentally melting Easter candy when it was shut up in cars, and stats on how man people bite the ears off a chocolate bunny first. I was gobsmacked. The most important victory message on which the glorious gospel of Christ stands, His very resurrection, and our message was about candy.

Three years ago I came back to Christ in a big way and took my family with me. We tried to find a church but it was painful. No one teaches the full Scriptures so we home church with just our family. We used to listen to an online pastor but the more we study, the more we see that the messages are not right. Now we just praise God and read the Scriptures....we started in Genesis and will read to Revelation. We would LOVE to have a church!! Be thankful if you do!

My church never closed. When we couldn't meet inside, we met in the parking lot in our cars. Every Monday, the pastor was harassed by the "authorities" for not closing the church. He told them the only answer to the plannedemic and everything else this evil world is enduring is Jesus and he was not about to close. To this day, almost two years after the start of the plannedemic, without fail, the church has been open for Monday night prayer, Wednesday night Bible study, and Sunday morning church.

Mrs. Elliot went on to minister to the tribe, raising her children among them. wonderful story of forgiveness and putting Christ and His gospel first.
I'm just now seeing this video message and I have to say I agree 100% with everything that was said. Especially the last of the video when Joe is talking about how other groups are in the streets drawing attention to themselves but we as Christians seem to be so quiet. Our religious symbols are attacked on a regular basis. The Ten Commandments are taken out of government buildings, crosses are removed from public places, prayer has been taken out of our schools! And yet we talk to each other but we don't make our voices heard! I don't know what the answer is. What I do know is that I don't want to be quiet any longer!
I think is a reason why that song I speak Jesus resonates so powerfully with me as it's all about proclaiming his name and that he's there in all things all the time you need to be looking to him letting him guide you how to properly use your biblical armor. The song with power and reach so yell his name even when you're alone

I also thank Him for the miseries I deal with every day. I rather not deal with them but then I wouldnt see all the wonderful things He has for me.

She has broken me many times and I would love to hear you preach a message about my wife cheating on me many times. I can't leave it alone and she expects me to forgive and forget. I know I'm not perfect but I have kept my word and loved her always, but I feel it may happen again and it may not. I have been hurt and I've ask Gpd help me but the devil keeps telling me I'm know good. Please pray for my marriage to either work or what do I need to do Joe? Thank you again and much love mate
One biblical reason for divorce is sexual immorality. So if she is being unfaithful then you have a get out clause from this abuser 🙏 I hope the lord shows you the way out
I am praying for you brother
You can pray for change within your wife but you are also able to divorce on biblical terms and ask for healing. Please don't take your life, that is what Satan wants you to do. God and so many more loves you. God bless
Thank you to everyone who commented back. It means so much to me. I've gotten back in church and praying and try my hardest to stay on the right path. I look forward to meeting Jesus at the gateway to greet me. Thank you all who took the time to pray for me, for my struggles. I love you all and I hope my prayer reaches back out. I want nothing to do in the world anymore and I am going to keep my eyes on the coming of the Lord. Best wishes to you all and God bless you all
Please Jimmy, Keep trusting Our HEAVENLY FATHER thru JESUS CHRIST to help you in this situation. You need the true guidance of believers of JESUS CHRIST to take you and your wife thru the process of accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD & SAVIOUR and be faithfully led by prayers & you will see CHRIST in action overthrowing the demon out of your family and will begin to enjoy a loving family relationship. Do not give in to any suicidal thoughts. Rather get a Bible, read continually even if you don't understand, keep reading to start helping yourself as well. The Words of GOD are light, darkness cannot comprehend. May GOD ALMIGHTY shower HIS mercy upon you . Amen
People have forgotten about people. God came for the sinners not for the saved. So many get fat in the church with the word but never share it. All church is for is fellowship. Jesus sent his disciples into the world that the word of The Father may be shared. I am glad that you are joining us that get out and spread the word.
We are all sinners JESUS came to pay the price so that our sins are paid for and we can come home that is what JESUS came to earth for !repent and ask for forgiveness while you still can!
I am a coward to . I afraid to finish my testimony a book that I feel Father encouraged me to write . I am afraid of push back and other things . How long will it take for me to rise above being a disappointment a failure ? Your bravery has helped me stand up stronger . Thank you. Blessings .Shabbat Shalom
Be brave and be strong. The Lord is always with you, just ask for His strength.
Remember: the testimony is for you not for them.
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV
The gospel is the message of Jesus Christ Crucified ❣️
And reserected.
I’m socially awkward and find myself not feeling comfortable with the social element of church attendance.
You have been a huge part of my return to Christianity, I can’t even imagine how much god will reward you for what you are doing, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I feel Gods warmth once again after a long long time
God bless you ❤️
Glory to God
😇
Amen. Don't be afraid of offending people when they need to hear the truth. Great video brother Joe. God bless you 🇿🇦
I don't. The Spirit leads me, I speak. I don't care if I have friends, or if I'm popular, or if I'm pleasing people. I will speak only what is true and biblical.
I used to be part of the "prosperity gospel" for a long time but thank God he opened my eyes to His truth.
Ive been listening to this guy for a month and I can’t stop watching his videos…………….Brother if you read this I want to say thank you for reigniting my love for the word to learn it and teach it. Thank you
Amen! Let’s loose our heads! Soak up in Jesus! Jesus is King! Thank you Joe! I think you carefully and lovingly touched on these important topics without forsaking the truth or stepping on the hearts of anyone! May the Lord continue to work through you and your ministry work in abundance! Blessings to you 🙏🏻
Thank you sister for your encouragement in the Lord all glory to our wonderful God!

Daily reminder Jesus loves you amen 🙏🏾 ✝️🙏🏾
An elephant!
Agreed...we need to remain approachable to those that needs the Lord...if someone shoots down what you said my bother..then the truth is not in them...but you speak..what the Lord laid on your heart..obedience is key to God
I’d be one of those people that “need the lord”. But I genuinely interested in anyone who can show me how they know the bible is the truth.
@@djpals101 the very fact that we are actually living what's written in it is fact that the bible is real ..give me a list of things that never failed you my friend...if you're honest you'll find nothing..but I assure you ..that there's not one word written in the bible that wasn't or shall be..God is not a liar..or fallible like we are. Two words for you my friend..LIGHT BE...I never spoke it God did..and go look..is,there light??yes my friend ..you know there is..as in your heart you know God is..and His word is Him
@@djpals101 I pray the Lord to open your eyes my dear friend...God loves you and wants to give you a new life
@@daughterofsarah6172 are we living what it says in the bible?
@@daughterofsarah6172 also you’re saying god said it but what u actually mean is the bible said it. I’m asking how do you know the bible is the word of god?
I agree 100% with you. I once volunteered to do the books for a Church and did I EVER have my eyes opened. It made me sick to my stomach when I heard the Pastor and what he said concerning money!
