Quotes from this video:"Suffering in this world is inevitable; real victory is available." "Don't cower; there's no joy in that. Stand firm and rejoice in it. " "If it seems like God is taking forever to answer your prayer, it should be known that He only delays at His own torment. Jesus is suffering with you." "If you're not suffering along with fellow Christians, considering their needs as your own, you're not living in the beautiful revelation that is the body of Christ. We got a mission to take care of each other, to serve each other, to lift each other up in prayer and in action." "You get militant against that thing, and you fight it with everything you've got. We don't settle for whatever it is that we're going through because Jesus paid for that to be made right. 2Corinthians 10:4" "If you're suffering because of someone else's sin, endure. If it's your sin, you fight, you deal with it. God is giving them time to repent. Their actions are stacking up justice that will either crush their sin when they repent or crush them if they do not." "If you would like to send your foreign enemies bombs and missiles rather than bibles and missionaries, you don't have the heart of God."
It’s amazing how genius the bible is, and if we read it and in context and apply the principles how much our lives would continue to be changed thanks for encouraging us to read the Bible many thanks Pastor/teacher Alex.
Just to give a scriptural analysis,false teachers in the Bible are blatantly described as people who deny the divinity of Christ and also people who teach dogma such as you shouldn’t give unto marriage or you can’t eat meat or things such as this. A false prophet is a person who does not get called by Jesus in visions and in dreams exclusively, and wears sheep’s clothing but inside is a wolf, so a person with no fruit or good results would be a wolf, and in my scripturally and Jason Hilliker approved conclusion prophet lovy fits into the category of a true prophet scripturally, but based on RU-vid videos and feelings you may conclude that he’s false, and just to put a perspective if there was RU-vid in the time of prophet Elisha or Elijah People would say there false because Elisha laid on a dead boy and kissed him to raise him from the dead, Elijah threw wood in a body of water to make a axe float-sounds iffy, also Elisha cursed someone to have leprasy for five generations sounds kind of iffy, Elisha called a bear to kill two boys for calling him bald sounds iffy, so with these standards of what makes a true prophet were actually applied to prophets in scripture we would consider them false especially with propagated RU-vid videos designed to take things out of context for the soul purpose of demonization. This is my opinion but I also confirmed my opinion with two holy,mature ministers in roots one being Jason. So I would love to have a more in depth discussion about why I believe prophet lovy to be a true prophet, but if I’m a immature believer to you, just ask Jason or Luke about the ordeal. Much love I just wanted to clarify this because in my heart I believe that prophet lovy and revelation church are making a tremendous impact on earth unto the glory of Jesus, and souls are being saved it’s always been about believing that Jesus is lord and spreading that good news according to scripture and prophet lovy and revelation church are doing that in my opinion. God bless
Hi Steven! I’m sorry you feel differently than I do. I know I can’t possibly speak for everyone at Roots Church, but we as senior leadership don’t affirm Lovy Elias or Passion Java as healthy influences. I’d love to have a deeper conversation with you if you’re interested 😊 This won’t suffice as a thorough argument, but maybe I can help you peer into my mind as I assess this. As mentioned in the video, we have four categories of prophet: 1. Holy 2. Immature 3. Charlatan 4. Demonic. After studying several hours of video, I think it’s pretty safe to assume that actual miraculous signs are taking place through spiritual power (such as the disappearing of an unborn child in the womb after prayer, plentiful words of knowledge, unnaturally rapid wealth accumulation, etc.), and that the manifestations Lovy and Passion participate in are not merely human inventions. This eliminates category 3 entirely. Next, in order to test the spirit that they’re operating with, it’s best to use Matthew 7:15-20, as Jesus is directly telling us how to watch out for false prophets. The fruit of this ministry can be detected from a few sources, but I’m only going to touch on two (and I’m only going to use their own words, because a lot of discernment ministries out there want to tear them down without rationality or appealing to the scriptures, and I’m not interested in that, I’m interested in objective truth). First of all, when they teach on money, they teach a prosperity gospel, wherein the expected result tends to be greater riches for the one who gives, which feeds not love for God/neighbor, but love for money. This is unbiblical, and has ruined millions of people’s lives over the years (through many more “ministers” than Passion Java or Lovy Elias) as countless bankrupt or near bankrupt people give their last pennies in hope of securing financial salvation. Secondly, they teach their listeners how to engage with God through various forbidden practices, such as astrology, crystals, opening the third eye, and the like. The defense they use for this is that Satan stole these things from God and they’re just reclaiming them, but God teaches in the scripture not to learn how to worship God from other spiritual beings besides himself (see Deuteronomy 12), and all these practices are forbidden by the scriptures (see Deuteronomy 18). So if the spirit doing ministry at revelation church is not from Jesus, they cant fit category 1 or 2 (see Deuteronomy 13). Thus, and I don’t say this easily, but with fear and trembling, I have to believe that these prophets are false prophets ministering in the power of a spirit similar to the one in Acts 16. As I said before, I am more than happy to have a deeper conversation with you. My pastoral recommendation to you is to pray deeply and ask God to reveal peace and truth to you. Ask him to purify your heart, and I will do the same, and God will answer as to which of us is right and which is not, and you and I both will be more holy as a result of seeking God. I think you still have my number if you wanna reach out; if not, Isaiah or Luke do for sure. Love you Steven 🥰 -Alex Perry
@@RootsChurchAGThank you, would love to talk it through peacefully and with a genuine heart to learn from both sides. I do have a response to the things about crystals and what spirit their operating with it’s just easier to explain in person or over the phone, just to give a quick summary I’ve watched the small amount of videos about sacrificial life style and crystals on his channel and I think we just got different impressions, for example the impression I got for sacrificial lifestyle is that finances belong to God, so if God by his Holy Spirit moves us to give whatever amount of money he asks us to give we should because he’s the boss, not give forcingly or you have to cause I’m such a holy man, but out of our love for God not because of law or dogma, and for the crystals video I got the impression that we should not buy crystals for the purpose of protecting ourselves from evil, and if we do buy them only get them in heart of decoration, and stones are referenced in book of revelation as the foundations of heaven so they actually get a bad rep because of witchcraft, so I just think we’re coming from two places two approaches, and I think this is a easy one it’s just a little cloudy right now. Thank you in advance for taking the time to make that summary of your beliefs there some great stuff in there regardless. Much love Alex and thanks for the time shared, it’s much appreciated.❤️❤️❤️
I agree to disagree about prophet lovy and prophet passion, and I would love to discuss my views, I think it’s not good to assume negative things about anyone.
Please interpet these ok ? Leviticus 25:44-46 New International Version 44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly. Exodus 21:20-21 New International Version 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. Deuteronomy 21:18-22:30 New King James Version The Rebellious Son 18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city. 20 And they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ 21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear. Numbers 15:32-36 New King James Version Penalty for Violating the Sabbath 32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
Intimacy doesn't always mean sex, sex doesn't always mean orgasm, and orgasm isn't another work to fulfill. All of these things are a loving gift and expression of God's amazing love and goodness for a covenant relationship. Husband and wife, honoring each other in selfless care and intimate fellowship.
Pastor Art, thank you so much for this message it definitely encouraged me! When I prayed for a Church God led me here and it's better than anything I could have ever dreamed of
To go along with her question at the 1:20ish mark…I often get awoken early in the morning and receive a word at that time. I write it down to deliver later that day if possible. Is that an appropriate way or should it come to me at the time I’m near that person?
Thank you… not sure if this was encouraging or not… .. been going through a medical issue for 9 years… just despondent… It changes a lot if the symptoms were removed as I am partially disabled … can’t do as much as I would like to for the gospel.. 🙏🏻
Hi there. I hear you. I have been going thru some stuff a long time as well. I am praying complete healing for you in Jesus’ love. (I meant to write in Jesus’ name but apparently it changed it to love or I typed love so keeping that there. It is His love that gets it done.) I pray the despondency goes and joy to fill your heart unexpectedly. Thank you Father that you love Marion. Help her feel that today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
We are no longer sin conscious but Son conscious because we know that our sins are as far as the East is from the West and our sins and lawless deeds God will Romberg no more. Jesus is the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world including mine and yours. Believers believe that they are forgiven and saved to the uttermost The only reason why anyone goes to Hell is for rejecting God’s provision and mercy for forgiveness which is the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior by calling on Jesus
I remember this asshole visiting my local church and doing "faith healing" just like Jim Jones used to do. He "healed" a woman of needing her walker yet asked for more "catchers" from the crowd as she walked without her walker. Obviously he had no "faith". Maybe if Jonmark had healing capabilities, he could heal himself of his depression medication.
I am not from your church. But, can you please pray for me that I would receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I want to know Jesus like your church members know Jesus!
Great job Roman thanks for being brave enough to do what you were called to do here. Knowing that your dad is with Jesus! What more could we want. Being a dad with a son your age myself I will tell you I am very proud of you. Keep it up. I look forward to hearing from you again.
Blessed by this message- thank you. Praying also for boldness to be an ambassador for Christ. And praying for God to open doors and lead us (my husband and I) to come to an encounter night and meet this group of believers (we're local but have not been yet).
I love your teaching Art it's so easy which is great for me I am not someone who uses a lot of words when praying if ever you come to the UK let me know
Remember what you were saying about people in the 'burbs, Art, people like Skip, people who mow their lawn for the 48 hundred times, and then snap? Well, that is us! It's not them. It's us! WE'RE the ones who are vaulting over the fences, and peeking in through people's windows. We're the ones who are throwing garbage in the street, and lighting fires... we're the ones acting suspicious and paranoid... We're the lunatics. US!!! Not them!!! It's us.
There are some good concepto, but you don't need to name the demon, that was a popular idea in the 70s, early 80s. And it get worse when Art makes a reference about what you must feel in order to cast out a demon, that's absolutely unscriptural . Can you imagine Jesus feeling each demonic emotion when people touched him? That's wrong. And what about Paul, when people put handkerchiefs on him? There was not feeling at all, but the demons were castes out. In those concepts , Art is wrong.
Hi Art. Thanks for the message. This was very convicting. This week, I've been telling the Lord, "I just want the kingdom," but then I've been spending an hour or two each evening watching TV. This, and some other things the Lord's been talking to me about, I need to confess and clear out of my life. I'm going to a Randy Clark conference next week, and I really do want to see more of God's kingdom happening, but your message was very timely and very convicting. Thank you.
PRAISE THE LORD 🙌,N so good to see Pastor Art,i had watch his early msgs,so wonderful work of God,Glory to God,n now after so long ,thank God Praise God🙌🙌😊,n thanks pastor Art🙏🙏
