I’m not sure you will EVER see this comment, but I cannot pass this opportunity up to tell you, Vlad, you did an eye opening job of handling this subject matter, and you made the truth be known clearly. Thank you for this video!
@@Kalimatullah_Yoh1-1.14 According to scripture, the fear of the Lord is a fundamental aspect of wisdom and a blessing of the new covenant. It is not a fear of punishment, but rather a fear of the good and prosperity that God provides. The fear of the Lord can be defined as: A deep reverence for God A sincere commitment to obey God A continual awareness that God is watching and evaluating everything we think, say, and do Respect in the way a servant fears his master and serves him faithfully Reverence or awe in the presence of greatness The fear of the Lord can lead to loyalty and obedience.

To have a deep desire to please the Lord, for what He has done for me. Save d me from my sin. He conquered death.
I couldn't agree more more! God had put it on my heart to start praying that He brings the fear of the Lord Back to the body of Christ. I believe with all my heart that That would get rid of a lot of mess that's out there,🙏.
When anyone falls, simply understand they are human sinners too! Give compassion and grace. Pray and offer support to get them back on track again. Same as you would do for anyone if you are following Jesus lead in life.
its usually a lot more complicated than that especially if u have lived under their exacting rules for years all the while they have led a double life trust me on that as the wife of one.... who is still married to them but i have my own spiritual path now that brought me peace.
@vuctoria that is one the handful of times I read THAT IS JESUS his love not condemning, humiliating ECT...what you wrote brings people back to the Lord! I truly believe,that's God
I experienced something catastrophic in one of these ministries about 20 years ago in California. It was a place where I closely felt at home and loved until things went very wrong within my marriage and the people in the ministry interfered in very damaging ways. It took me another good 15 years to feel strongly connected to God again and during these years, I have looked in very wrong places and received vile gifts from those places I sought. Thank God for coming down to reach my heart again through His Son, I understand that what happened to me was foreseen by Him, but still I would have wished to grow in my faith smoothly and steadily.
I relate entirely to you…. People in the church really sucked in my similar situation also… but Jesus is Real and Cool and never left me and my daughter when I sought comfort in rebellion.
But yet you did, through it all your faith is stronger now and yet more will come again, it's normal to have battle after battle .This is what builds our faith and character.
Has anyone ever gone to a new church & been invisible, as in absolutely unseen? This happened to me at a certain church in Oregon. This went on for about 3 months. I actually learned alot just by watching & listening to everything going on around me. But my presence was never acknowledged there, not even once. I would go up to people an attempt to speak with them, but they wouldn't respond, and they looked completely through me, it was the oddest thing ever....
@@thenana1845I’m sorry to hear this. That’s heartbreaking no one has spoken to you. The Lord says to “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!” (Romans 12:16) my prayer is that as much as the enemy is using this as a device to get you to be discouraged in the body of Christ - that your steps will be ordered by the Lord to either bring that to this ministry’s attention for a gentle correction (may be you point out a blind spot they may not see) or you are lead to a more humble tribe in Jesus Name. Whatever you do, don’t stop going to church. Trust me, I’ve been tempted to in a very similar way as you’ve experienced. The Lord loves you & He is your greatest shepherd who will have you lay on green pastures if you keep seeking His will over your life ❤
1 Corinthians 10:12 "...if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall..." While there is still time, we all need to continue to pray for our brothers and sisters who surcome to sin; that they may once more become right with our Heavenly Father, Jehovah GOD (in Jesus' name). Praise Jesus, they never gave up on me. Satan is tricky, and our flesh is weak. 😢
Sadly there will be a great falling away... Apostasy... Put on the Full Armor of God DAILY Brother's and Sister's Remain steadfast in Christ Jesus and Love everyone lead them to Repentance and Salvation Maranatha
Its good to know so many people are paying attention to the living Word of God. Knowing how our present world has become -an evil and wicked generation without the fear of or knowledge of the Lord. As for us those who awaits Jesus let us not be weary. Lets remain faithful till the end for He said My reward is with Me. May God bless the preacher and all those who are listening
Thank you... this message was a blessing... this applies to pasters... but also everyone who is in the service of God... I will be watching this again... thank you for following God... thank you for your bare honesty... I will be praying for you and your ministry...
Exceptional teaching! Thank you. Side thought: We had someone in the eldership who we found out later had done some horrible things. His now ex-wife and others questioned why no one was able to discern or "see in the spirit" these things. We always look for the best in people and sometimes that can blindside us. We also are not witches so this whole thing about thinking that Christians can just see in the spirit is not correct. God will reveal what He reveals and sometimes we miss it. No one is perfect outside of God.
My personal experience is that people ignore the signs. "Looking for the best in people" is often used to excuse wrong behavior and avoid the hard work of holding someone accountable. There is a balance. God's perfect love includes accountability.
@@cathicross7819 that can be true but we do not always know what people do in private. People can put on a good outer at church and it can be very hard to see if someone is just having a rough time or if there is something more sinister happening. We are not God so we have to be very careful when dealing with people. God gives us grace and unless we are overlooking and accepting sin or harmful situations, we have to give the same grace God gives us for our shortcomings. Matt 7:1-2 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
@@Daniel777Pwhen God shows certain people certain things and they highlight these things they are labelled as judgemental. That's the hypocrisy I face today. Somebody has to be able to say this is not right change this otherwise we will all stay down in sin.
@@nai-lahkristasimone5161 I don’t think there is a black and white rule for calling people out. Interestingly, Jesus never called out Judas & His disciples never seemed to discern anything was wrong with Judas. In the book of Acts the prophets constantly warned Paul against going to Jerusalem. That’s obscure in this discussion but even when you’re right, sometimes you’re not. Paul knew he had to end up in Rome and knew he needed to go to Jerusalem. Paul might have even known that he was going to be arrested. The prophets discerned correctly but didn’t see the big picture. What we ultimately need to know is our own heart and intents. Do unto others, use the same judgment as you would want to be judged with. If you call someone out, know that there might be negative consequences, so know the price before spending. Make sure the purpose is never for your own satisfaction or revenge. Holy Spirit may choose to show you something but you need to then ask Him what the purpose is for. Is it because He wants you to pray for that person and/or to help that person, or maybe to be praying for that person and never tell them. Or does Holy Spirit want you to expose that person but then how is that exposure to happen? Do you seek counsel of a wise trusted mentor? If it is really serious, is it a police matter? If it’s ever a police matter then guilt is on us for not speaking up if we know something that serious is happening. All the best with your situation.
Watching this now after Morris and Evan’s but I didn’t realize the video was a month old already. This is a season for public repentance. The shaking will expose and purify. Come into agreement now.
This was so good and intense! God help us to realize our identity is in you and not in a ministry or a gift. May we dwell in your presence and may our hearts be open to receive correction. ❤😭
Pst.Vlad . Try apply castor oil to the outside of your nose before sleeping ,it will completely clear your blocked sinus and the results may suprise you . Great message today ,thankyou.
Yes, Pastor it’s very painful to see someone in the church fall, especially if it’s a bad fall because it does hurt many many people, especially on his own family
I’ve been a pastor for over four years this message so much answered a lot of my questions. I come from a holiness denomination. I believe in having a right heart a living a life of holiness but I see now the truth that God is bigger than our behaviour. God will work His will as He sees fit in our lives.
Excellent teaching! I've been seeking understanding on this very thing. I did not understand how ungodly ministers can keep being used of the Spirit ..but this video has clarified it even more than I expected. This is very sound. It's timely for me personally but also I think the greater body. The Lord is preparing His Bride. This is an area we have to get right. These issues are major issues of stumbling. May we fear God and heed this wisdom.
Last comment and I have to re-listen to your teaching. I believe God always requires obedience. Often times the LORD will bear with us for a season when we’re outside of His will as ministers for the sake of His children. But in every instance that you mentioned, where men of God disobeyed the Father their were terrible consequences. People always talk about David and how God still used him and I for one LOVE David and the Psalms, but all the war, all the sorrow that David experienced even onto one of his sons, killing his own brother. These were the judgments of God because of David’s sin with Bethsheba. I don’t think we teach people the true consequences of sin and disobedience. Again the need for balance to be true to scripture. You have ministries all over the place, counting the number of people that they have, coveting big churches and numbers. Yet we know that when David numbered the people, God was so angry with him that he sent an angel of the Lord to take the lives of 70,000 people. May God help us to see rightly in these last days. Pastor Vlad many love you, don’t worry about what others think of your ministry serve your KING, He is coming back quickly to reward each one of us according to our own doings. Rev 22: 12.
Thank you for a message annoited. Comes with a nice of grace and gentleness. Yet the reverence and the Fear of God has not been compromised. Be blessed pastor Vlad
Everyone seems to address this issue of the sin of a church leader while avoiding the issues of safeguarding in the church. Not all sins are equal in consequence. Some times prayer and leadership accountability and repentance are not enough. When the issue is a criminal act where prayer and church accountability are not sufficient. Action such as reporting to police is viewed as sinful behaviour . Often, Matthew 18 verse 15-19 is quoted and used to protect leaders who are actually engaged in crimes behaviour such as, domestic abuse, rape in marriage, sex with a minor, and other form of abusive behaviour. Can you cover safeguarding in church. ?
That’s not safeguarding, that’s covering up a crime and enabling. Anyone with knowledge of a crime (especially against a child) who doesn’t report it to authorities should be prosecuted themselves for being an accessory to the crime. If you have specific knowledge of this YOU are responsible for reporting it yourself. Do not wait for church leadership to do the right thing.
Godbless video, what lucifer had being full of wisdom had more knowledge but you said something ,a individual can deceive oneself that the shoes* route * satan end up in and it became his powerful weapon even today... immanuel *god with us
Falling and sinning over an extended period of time aren't the same. The deliberate choice of a leader concealing a lifestyle of sin over many years is not a fall. Individuals entrusted with the role of a pastor, above all others, should possess a heightened sense of discernment. A competent pastor should be vigilant in safeguarding their flock from potential harm, ensuring that they are not led astray by a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Wow. Vlad, I’m deeply impressed. And I must ask for forgiveness. I wronged you by “guilt of association “. Saw you in a video sitting with others that have been exposed or are dubious. Sorry. 🙂↕️ In any case, you have spoken many wise words in this video and I will pass it on to others. May God (continue to) bless your ministry! 😄
God is the one we serve and the example we follow is Christ's. If your pastor falls, don't fall with him. Pray for him, forgive him as Jesus said and move on. Your pastor's salvation is his own, not yours. However, your pastor's fall is used (by God) to teach you what could happen in your life. Keep asking yourself... What would Jesus do in this situation? Humility teaches us that the fall can happen to us. We are humans, you know we're not perfect. Lick your wounds of pride, repent and follow the original shepherd, our lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
A consequence of grieving the Holy Spirit is a loss of Spiritual authority; this isn't always how it is but generally yes in degrees you reap what you sow. Thankfully we have a merciful God who has patience and wants to see people overcome sin and succeed.
*Heavenly Father, as we begin this day, help us to release every worry and concern into Your capable hands, trusting in Your sovereign control over all things. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
I’m so grateful I came across you. You’re such a Blessing in God’s Kingdom. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You have made me want a deeper relationship with our Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit 💕🕊️.
It's disappointing to hear holiness when the preacher doesn't even practice " H" of holiness. I always wondered how come....your video gives the answer, Pastor.
Hey guys my name is Forest, 24. I need prayer warriors! My beautiful girlfriend of almost 3 years, ended our relationship because we both needed to heal and grow on our own she said. She now lives about 8 hours away. More of right person, wrong time. Her name is Makayla, 22. She told me that she hopes that she finds her way back to me, but she’s going to give it to God which I agree and if it’s meant to be, it will happen again and I have been praying to God continuously crying out to him that he protects her, heals her, and prepares her, that one day our paths align again when the timing is right and that we get back together and glorify him and give him all the praise and honor for reuniting us. Losing her brought me way closer to God. I now know and have Gods love. Will you all pray for our relationship, please and thank you?
Hi Forest, I believe God separated you for spiritual encounters. He wants to groom you two to know Him better. He knows the best for you, and knows your future. If you depend on His guidance, He will bring her back to you, or give you a person who will love you more and will serve Him with you. I'm happy you are closer to Him now due to this incident. Jesus loves you.
Fear and Tremble!!!! God wants His people to be holy and follow his commands and precepts. Gods requirements for believers are the same as yesterday and forever.
If you're in an airplane that's going down, you pray for the best. But if there's other airplanes right next to you then you simply get off and get onto another one next to you that is flying straight and true. There isn't only one plane :) Pray for that plane that falls, but don't fall with it.
What a powerful, much needed message Pastor Vlad!!! Especially now as we see so many leaders falling and their 'secret sins' being exposed. We must pray for them, and also gird ourselves so that we do not fall prey to the lies and schemes of the enemy. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family, Pastor Vlad. 🙏🏾💜
Exactly what I asked. I had a personal experience. This message convicts me. I used to pray to God to reveal deceptions in my life only to later find out that I myself am not willing to humble myself. It was only true humility, when I say true I want to get across this message that ultimate humility is the only way, that led me to know deceptions in my life. At the end I found out my human heart is most deceiving of all.
We are absolute creatures of freewill. God does not stop us from making bad or sinful decisions. That's why we need to daily be relying on God's spirit. We can't walk this life without obedience to the Holy Spirit. If you walk outside of God's spirit you are not walking in God's will. Daily repentance, daily humility, daily gratitude, daily obedience to the Holy Spirit. Our daily bread! we need self-reflection every day. Also God's gifts are irrevocable. It's quite incredible to see when christians are still operating in their gifting, but they have sin. I've seen worship leaders still lead worship and then you find out they were living in a sin. It brings to mind that scripture that has people still casting out demons, and preaching etc, but they don't know Jesus as Lord.
This is why God told me that I didn’t fear him enough…towards the end of 2023. It was literally because I was flirting with sin too much. Such a word. At the same time, I was shook at first, but happy to get that correction…because I want to grow and mature spiritually. So when I realized that growing in fear of the Lord directly ties with spiritual maturity, I was happy to step into that process.
Wonderful teach my brother. Thank you! May God bless you, your family and your mission. If I’ll be Isaiah Saldivar I’d to say sorry for mentioning my name in that context😉
I really just adore you, your wife, and your ministry! I am new to ministry, after nearly dying and being shown Hell before the Father rescued me and took me to Heaven. I am also newly married, so I really look forward to all of your teachings!
Vlad stay strong in the Lord Jesus! Thank you for your time today much knowledge and wisdom gained God bless! And yesterday when you had me right down stuff all I had around was a highlighter thought I’d share that! Because I know I was highlighted to you on day 1 fast 🙌🔥✍️
I’m so thankful for you Pastor Vlad for your consecration to the LORD. Thank you for your genuineness. Thanks for being real. It’s no wonder the anointing you’ve been trusted with.
And before we approach anyone about their sins, make sure we take out the beam out of our own eyes so that we can see clearly to take the moth out of our brothers and sisters eyes. How dare we fornicate and commit adultery but want to judge a homosexual person??
This message is very helpful to me, thanks for the reminder that pastors are human and imperfect people. I struggle with modern day Christians and the way women dress, among other things. This message convicts me that I need to focus on my walk with Christ. Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit for leading me in the right direction.
Yes u are right, I had somebody sitting at the back of me in church, tapping me on my shoulder and asked me to tell my husband that he needs a longer shirt to cover his crack on his backside. My husband has a long upper body and shorter legs and slim, so M size suits him but not long enough. I was wondering what is she doing watching people rather than worshipping God. It is not good.
