This “music” reminds me of new age mind control, trying to persuade you with “good feelings”. Many churches are pushing “a religious experience” on people. Some churches like to play “Jesus loves Me” for the good feelings it gives people. It took a while for me to learn to resist that kind of persuasion, look what it does to people, what do you want? You can tell a dead church by seeing no one is being saved by God. They make make a commitment and make a “confession of faith” but is Jesus so real to them that they know God must have raised Him from the dead. We are not saved by our faith but by His faith that must work in us to cause us to believe and not with make believing. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? When God applies His faith by His Word it is effective for salvation. Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even(caused us to believe) we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Many translations have changed “faith of Jesus” to “faith in Jesus” to fit their own understanding of salvation. The good is the enemy of the best. If you like the music how much of the sermon do you remember? This music is like Jezebel playing with my hair when I am trying to study C/C++ code. How many problems in church are caused by “good Christian women doing their best to serve God”. Gal 5:8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
What Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 is one of the most important yet misunderstood Scriptures in the new Testament. He said, "Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" It initially appears he is saying to say the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost at baptism, but the following proves what he is actually saying. "Go therefore and teach all nations BAPTIZING them in the name (SINGULAR name and not "names") OF the Father, and OF the Son, and OF the Holy Ghost." Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles and not names. Jesus disciples never used those words when they baptized anyone in water, nor did they use those words in one sentence regarding any other topic. Every time Jesus disciples baptized anyone in water they invoked Jesus Name at baptism which is Acts 2:38, Acts 8:14, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:7-8, Acts 19:3-5, and Acts 22:16. Those are some of many scriptures that proves that the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is Jesus. At about that same time Jesus said in Mark 16:16,"He that believes and is BAPTIZED shall be Saved, but he that believes not shall be damned." Jesus addressed what damned means in Luke 16:19-31, Matthew 13:42, Matthew 25:41, Mark 9:45-46, Revelation 20:15, and Revelation 21:8. REGARDING THE NAME OF THE FATHER: John 5:43, I am come in my Father's name and you receive me not, if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive." John 12:44-45,"He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. And him that sees me sees him that sent me." 1 John 2:23,"Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father, but he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also." Isaiah 9:6,"For unto us a child is born, unto us a SON (Jesus) is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and his Name shall be called Wonderful, the MIGHTY GOD, (also Revelation 1:8) the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Piece." REGARDING THE NAME OF THE SON: Matthew 1:23,"Behold a virgin shall be with child and bring forth a Son and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is GOD WITH US." REGARDING THE NAME OF THE HOLY GHOST: John 15:26,"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, he shall testify of "ME." John 16:13-14,"Howbeit when the Spirit of truth is come, He shall guide you into all truth, for He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall He speak, and will show you things to come. 14 HE SHALL GLORIFY ME." John 14:18,"I will not leave you comfortless, "I" will come unto you." John 14:26,"But when the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send IN MY NAME, He shall teach you all things." Paul said in 2 Corinthians 3:17,"Now the Lord IS THAT SPIRIT, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Paul said in Hebrews 1:8,"But unto the SON he said, Thy throne O God is forever and ever....." Acts 7:59, "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon GOD, and saying, LORD JESUS receive my spirit." Jesus is speaking in the following Scriptures in the book of Revelation: Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, which was, and is to come, THE ALMIGHTY." Revelation 1:17-18,"And when I saw him (John speaking) I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his hands on me, saying unto me, Fear not, I am the first and the last. 18 I am he that lives and was dead, and behold, I am alive forever more, Amen and have the keys of hell and of death." Also Matthew 28:18.. Revelation 2:7,"He that has an ear, let him hear what the SPIRIT says unto the Churches." Also Revelation 2:11 Revelation 21:6-7, "And he said unto me, (John) It is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the waters life freely. 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his GOD, and he shall be my SON." Some say the Thief on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized yet Jesus told him he would be with him that day in paradise. Jesus had not given the COMMANDMENT to be baptized in his Name until after He rose from the dead and just before He ascended to heaven. The thief or anyone else at that time could not have done because they did not know about it. If you are convinced you need to get Baptized in water in Jesus Name, do a search, type in "United Pentecostal Church International", slightly scroll down to just below the red box, type in your zip code, then a screen will show a Church nearest you that will do that. If you get Baptized in water Jesus Name, and get baptized with the Holy Ghost which is addressed in Mark 16:17 (Jesus speaking) Acts 2:3-4 (Pentecost). Acts 8:17, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, and Acts 19:3-5 - which is when the Spirit of Christ initially dwells in a person. Nowhere in Scripture does it say it happens any other way than that way. There is not one Scripture that says a person receives the Holy Ghost just because they are a believer. Acts 19:1-5 is a good example. Paul said in Romans 8:9-11,”But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, HE IS NONE OF HIS." If you do the above you will be making SURE your name is written in the Lamb's Book Of Life. Jesus said in Matthew 24:4,"Take heed that no man deceives you." Jesus said in John 10:27, "My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."
"he that believes not shall be damned." People can make believe with the help of rituals or religious activity. There is nothing we can do to earn salvation. Salvation is all His work and all His glory. His applied faith will work in a person to cause them to believe and not with religious make believing that religion pushes on people.
This video is so powerful. Thinking on this message, he is absolutely correct that Joseph's presence in Egypt was not the high point. The descendents of his people remained there after their relocation and became oppressed slaves in this land. MY GOD!! This truly touched my heart. Though many see Joseph's reign as the high point of his life, It was the relocation of his brothers and their offspring into heinous suffrage.
@rethinkingright. The video is powerful just the way it is. The music is beautiful. Soothing, and ministers with the message to the soul. With all due respect, do not change the vision for spectators.
