Formation is a Podcast where Andrew Billings takes a look at the modern church and how we as Christians can go after improving it. Various guests will be joining Andrew as he discusses the Kingdom, the Church, and walking with God.
I really want to say you guys are so special to be humble and vulnerable to all of us watching God work through such brave and honorable men . Thank you lord for reaching these 2 men that could be our brother , father or friend. We can all learn for this sacrifice of ego and flesh . God Bless us . Jesus is waiting for the fearless children of God to lay hands on the sick and show his glory. I’m learning everyday how to be bold and pray for strangers. Holy Ghost leads me and o lean on his faith in me .
Question: How have each of you helped brethren navigate throwing off the temporal/sensual mindset and step into this eternal mindset? Are there any recurring lies that seem to prevail in people’s minds preventing them from walking this out? And how do you address them in a one on one setting?
Hope this reaches many. So rare to find people that genuinely have the heart of Christ. As a leader this has opened my eyes on so many things. God bless! Greetings from Brazil here
Brother Andrew and Brother David thank you so much for this podcast, it was very well done!! I enjoyed what both of you had to say. It was definitely directed by the Holy Ghost. ❤ THANK YOU!!
Just wanted to thank you both for sharing this side of the fight . It adds to our faith. And anytime I need to stretch my faith I'll go to u-tub and watch a David Hogan episode 😅 he and his family's kingdom work has been a long time favorite of mine thank's agen
Amen. It’s harsh alright. And yet… I brought a friend to church for the other day - their first time ever. As we walked in the doors we were greeted warmly by people I knew, some old and some young, fancy and plain, and some I’ve known for more than 30 years and five churches back from another city. And I realized that despite all the messes, it was still beautiful to my friend who could see that we loved each other. It moved me. 🍷🥖
No matter what.. It Jesus best..way however it may seem his thoughts are better than our thoughts in his ways is higher He Is always an all-time great king
Amen. Been a Christian 45 years. Amen amen amen. He knows what he’s talking about. It’s not worth it and God is good, he really does bring things around in surprising ways.
Thank you for posting. Wish you would have allowed David to talk more and share more of his experiences and kessons he learned and wisdom from his truths lived
It is not necessary to prophesy stripes onto our journey of life. Rather we are to watch our mouth. You will have tribulations. that is testings, hardships but the Lord delivers from them all. No stripes shall come near your tent. If they come against you it shall not be from me. They will fall by you. By your words. Thee weapons formed and waged against you.Not when the y com but if they come. Prophesy against yourself bro stripes if you desire that so much, but I refuse this your prophecy of "not if but when these come" over my life and my relations. Why to speak evil with our mouth instead of truth?
For about 15 years i ve been through different challenges continuously, literally non stop. I lost everything what was dear to my heart, lost family, reputation, finance and all i had. God was merciful to me and all i was left with are my kids. Its been tough situation after another tough situation. Betrayal, cheat, mocking, ashamed, cursed… just call it. Every day walking on the edge. Every part of my mind and heart was challenged. All i can say is that: more dark your valley - stars are brighter. God gives more grace for such times as this. Do i want to go through it again? No. But i am thankful because He deserves it all! Thanks for highlighting this topic. RIP unicorns and pink ponies. Out of every fire we go through, we get more resistant and thanks to God for such opportunity! He deserves the glory!!! Because He is mighty God!
28 tribes? …. Not to take away from what he had done at all but he isn’t in Mexico much anymore and hasn’t been for over 20 years. I am a missionary in Mexico and work with Indians (indigenous people) I know the areas they work in. There isn’t 28 tribes there. He once said they have 30 churches with all ex cartel members. I reached out to someone who works with him and actually is in Mexico and he says he doesn’t even know of one church they have like that. Again, he has done a lot and their work is awesome BUT he sure exaggerates a lot. Almost to the point of border line lying. He is misleading with his stats. You might ask… how do I know ? I worked with him years ago. I love him but he is very misleading about certain things and unfortunately has hurt alot of people that has worked with him. Just some things that a lot of people do not know.
II Timothy 4:2-5 [2] Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. [3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; [4] and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. [5] But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Oh wow! This was just what I needed to hear. It spoke to several betrayals I experienced in ministry; and the extreme costs. I think it's much more common than people realize. But I'm so grateful for the wisdom and guidance shared here on how to deal with it; and what to do next time it comes around. Bless you!
Yes! Been there done that. It is the greatest honor to have Yahweh come close and speak. God loves those who love and honor Him by following His Word. He will steal your heart and you will never want to leave Him or betray Him. Please, no Jesus raves. It has nothing to do with Jesus. This is the pure and uncompromisied God of the Hebrews.
