#reginaldsharpe #pastors #MentalHealth #theology #fellowshipchicago This is a powerful message for everyone but especially for pastors heavily involved in ministry. The church belongs to God, not to you! Take care of yourself preacher!
thank you for this massage, i almost lost my life, my family, my home because the ministry. I just have to close up the church so that I can come back to God more
This service was a true blessing not only did it touch on so many times in my life both the good and the bad as the tears roll I was reminded that God stands before behind me and on all sides. God bless.
Amen brother, same here. Don't ever allow a church to use and abuse you for their own personal gain. Our salvation is in Jesus alone, not church attendance or how much money you give to the church. You cannot work your way to heaven and so many are being deceived and doing it.
Nothing is wrong with going to church. Is when we serve the church instead of God, thats the problem. The church (building) is an Idol to some of us. A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS WHAT MATTER.
My mom was a minister and pastor all my life. She shared with me what my grandmother would say, just because you’re at church every time the doors open does not mean you’re saved. I learned to say NO and rest in it.
WE GO TO CHURCH....NEGLECT OUR FAMILY... WE THINK WE ARE DOING THE SERVICE OF THE LORD! CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!YOU CANT NEGLECT YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND JUST GO TO CHURCH. DONT CALL YOUR FAMILY ..ESP.THE ELDERLY IN YOUR FAMILY 👪JUST TO SEE IF THEY NEED SOMETHING THATS SERVICE !GRATITUDE !WE WAIT UNTIL.SOMEONE DIE HOW COME YOU CANT CELEBRATE WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE! EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR 👂THIS MESSAGE!ITS AN EYE OPENER!THANKS FOR THE MESSAGE !I ENJOYED THIS MESSAGE FROM THE TITLE FROM.TGE BEGINNING UNTIL.THE END!
@@carolynwhite9975As a born again, baptized, blood-washed believer of the Lord Jesus Christ, we should be able to experience the presence of the Lord in our homes. I have even been listening to something in my car and experienced the presence of the Lord. That being said, God's Word says this: "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25
The weight of ministry is heavy enough.We were somehow taught if you missed a Sunday out of church ⛪you were hypocritical.We took care of so many people and forgot to take care of ourselves!Some people cant miss church because they are nosey!Nosey and tired.We dont know how to relax!This is a TRUE MESSAGE!PASTORS..MINISTERS..MISSIONARIES ...DEACONS BISHOPS EVANGELISTS APOSTLES EVERYWHERE NEED A BREAK!i hope we listen and take heed to this message!Maybe we will change the way we view our lives.PASTORS ANYBODY IN MINISTRY ... NO MATTER WHAT TITLE IT IS YOU NEED break ..you need a vacation!I pray after 👂ing this message that we apply this message to our lives...Iam going go make some changes!This message should be heard WORLD WIDE!THIS IS A PROPHETIC WORD FOR THIS GENERATION AND TIME!THIS PASTOR TOLD THE TRUTH!WE ARE DRESSED 👗UP AND MESSED UP . WE NEED TO HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD !ITS NOT ABOUT NEW HOUSES . CARS ALTHOUGH ITS COMING!ITS ABOUT SLOWING DOWN..TAKING A VACATION AND TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES AND WE CAN STILL HOLD OUR POSITION IN THE CHURCH BUT ASK GOD TO HELP US nd show us how to do this without killing ourselves!Thank God for this message!We try to be everuthing to the people and are nothing to ourselves!Pastors its okay to take a vacation with your wife!You still have God!You know how far to go!
⁷Watch the improvements you make. Ensure it is according to God's principles that He gave from the start. IT IS THE SAME GOD. This is a word for this time.
Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit. This message was a God Send. Self Care is truly important for Ministers, and just as you expressed, even Jesus took a nap in the boat.
I was raised in the Building(church), I was in the choir, church secretary, was cooking for every event, attended every pagan event, cleant the building every other week(alone), did not ask for a dime for any of the services I provided, but I was doing everything wrong an God decided to show me an thats when I knew I was doing it all wrong, ALL God wanted was my heart, I now read God's word with an understanding, an I try everyday to walk in Gods word, an yes my heart belongs to the Holy Spirit. No more buildings, I am the Church.
To ALL Ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, when GOD gives instructions to do something a certain way, we must walk in Obedience & do exactly what He tells us. Bottom line, what i received from this anointed message, and I don't mean to be so blunt, but it's the truth, we have to be VERY careful how we handle GOD'S BUSINESS or else we could end up DEAD before OUR TIME. Remember, Obedience is better than sacrifices.
Can you walk in peace on the Street as I have the same story but now whenever I see church folks on the road them look at me as if is me did put Jesús on the cross
You still on the good way learning God's ways. Because as we believe in Jesus Christ we are the part of the body of Christ= together=the church. But not the building. May the Lord continue to help us do His good work for Him, and not to qualifiy ourselves for Him or to please others. In tge name of Jesus Amen. God bless
I had a vision of my sister who is active in ministry doing too much. I watched a video online of her services in which she tarried in the service for over four hours. She looked extremely exhausted and out of breath. I felt compelled to inform my parents of what I observed. I thought mom would be able to relay the message of concern to her. I honestly felt she was in need of a break and needed to spearhead others to carry some of the weight in ministry. I didn’t think it went over well however today while lying in bed I received this confirmation video as a notification. I don’t follow Reginald Sharpe so there was no way for this exact revelation to end up in my feed. I immediately forwarded it to my sister. I thank God for being mindful of all creation. If you are ever unsure the creator is speaking clear to you just be patient and wait for the confirmation. I’m overjoyed today and assured that God is not threw with me yet.
@@wesleyearldavis503 obedience is better than sacrifice. The debt has been paid by the death burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. Why are we still sacrificing like those people under the mosaic laws? Jethro the father in law of Moses had to tell him to deputize other leaders within the camp of the children of Israel to help with keeping track of them. Moses was exhausted and overwhelmed. Some leaders feel it’s their duty to be apart of everything associated with ministry. You are not the creator. You are not omnipresent. We must use wisdom.
My , my , my !!! God truly rained down powerful anointing on this preacher ! My soul was truly blessed 🙌 ! Thank you Jesus for the message and the messenger 🙏🙌.
Amen!! Jesus has already died for the church and we don't have to die for the church. I've lived by this revelation of Jesus for about the last five years. I will not sacrifice my family on the Alta of ministry ever again.
Balance in both ministry and general life is a must and balance is different for everyone. Sometimes you have to keep some people at a healthy arms length distance so that they will not spiritually and mentally drain you.
That's exactly what happened to me. Tried to keep my distance but then accused of not being a nice person. Why would I keep your company when you gossiped about the person you sit next to in church week after week, who happens to be your "best friend."
The most powerful sermon I've ever heard. I come from a line of preachers and they wanted were dedicated to the church but didn't establish boundaries.
You do understand that there are things that happen during service sometimes and people need a way to communicate without walking around… this isn’t 1924
This is the best message I have ever listened to. I come from Africa that most of our citizens dies for the church . They delegate all their time to the church and forget about themselves and family.
I was blessed to hear this young Pastor when he first came under Pastor/Overseer Dewey E. Smith Sr. ( Atl, Ga). Awesome teaching and steward for the LORD!
Good morning I am listening to this sermon about Don't let the church kill you and I was touched thank you so much Pastor for preaching the sermon that the Lord gave to you to Preach. I just would like to know if you have a book where you preach your sermon because I sure would love to get one from you . Thank you for the word of Don't Let The Church Kill You. Well preached.
I was the one heavenly minded no earthly good lost my home family and my mind for years literally became one of those people who wander around talking to themselves because I thought everything came through a miracle.Sadly had to learn the hard way I have to put in the work for things to work
Preach the word Young Man!!!! Speak truth to give Life!!💯💯💖 Could it be the church is trying to fit into the world? We are in the world but not of the world as christians!
Do not forsake the gathering of the brethren! You can still go to church every Sunday without being overwhelmed. You just have to know that you and your family is your first ministry and MOST important. 🙏 If you can't take care of yourself you definitely can't take care of anyone else.
Good Evening Pastor! I was strolling and ran across your message from the Holy Spirit! Just wanted to say! Excellent right now and right On time message! I receive it!!! Enjoy your evening!! 📖✝️🩸🙏🛐💖🤗
To GOD be the glory, really love this message, it had touch me and reminded me that the race, is not for swift, neither the battle for the strong, but for those can endured to end, thanks much preacher 👍👏
The same God takes care of us every day put your hand in his and you would definitely be okay God is so great thank you pastor for this sermon we all need that I'm going to pass it on to the we all need that I'm going to pass it on to the people at we all need that I'm going to pass it on to the people at my church some of them going through some things right now blessings to you
Folks do too much..trying to be more than they are..many are not even ordained of God to be in ministry. Folks want power over others so badly that they never made their calling and election sure...Don't get me started. Yes, the first thing they should have learned was to take care of themselves before trying to care for everyone else....
Excellent message: ministry will take a strong hold on you, if you don't allow the Holy Spirit to minister through you. The church belongs to the Lord, the gifts/anointing are from God, and the pastors belong to God. God is Holy and we do not need to change God's method and/or godly wisdom for His kingdom. God ways works and will always work better than humanity. He draws, He sets, He consecrate, He empowers, He execute, and He establish. This message came up by the grace of God, so I listened to it, and it was very to the point. God's ways still work!!!!!!! Pastor Priscilla Harling
I agree with the response of yours but cannot you comment instead of only merely uplifting your emotions as it seems you needed to share sentences and need not prove your emotions. I personally dont like to see your emotional as it does not add to building me up which maybe i am to see its not to me . I apologize if im all wrong, but think about what you write please and may be you show emotions but they just are seen ..I maybe seeing it wtong . Not all believers express loudly their deeper or excited feelings . I recognize you may enjoy that , but think about texted words. I am glad you benefited thus from the video. Sorry if this is taken wrong . I am not an enemy. Trying to REASON with.
If you think church can “kill” you. Then you’re going for the wrong reasons. Church isn’t about rules and regulations for those who have a relationship with Christ. It’s an offering unto God to be Holy. It’s a requirement to be Holy. It pays to serve him.
@@wesleyearldavis503 the mind is a terrible thing to waste how some people missed the message l will never understand he simply was very clear on his message.
Some people go in church to please man and lose focus on our Lord and Savior. This message is on point just like Jesus talked to Martha and Mary.Jesus said Mary chose the wiser part to stay at his feet but Martha got burden down trying to serve.
What a service ,thank you pastor for the mighty word from God I really enjoyed the whole service,Ipray you continue strenth in ,pray for me and my family strenth cant do it on. My one in jesus name amen
First of all, David should of consulted the priest on how to carry the Ark. The Ark had rings so priests could carry the Ark with rods. If a preacher is let by the Holy Ghost he has no business killing himself, or having nervous breakdowns. Paul went through a whole lot. Read 2 Corinthians. And Paul to Timothy Give thyself wholly to the ministry. If David consulted the Lord, see he did what the Philistines did to return the Ark. 10:54; Now, did you hear what he said? Quoting Psalms 23, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the art with me. The preacher should be able to weather any storm. A preachers job is to preach the gospel. Not to do the job of the Holy Ghost. The preacher preaches, teaches God's word. The Holy Ghost convicts. Sometimes the preacher can do too much. The Holy Ghost leads the child of God, the Holy Ghost does not feed you the word. It reminds you of what the preacher preached or taught.
As a minister of the gospel, I can relate, church ppl. almost killed me, I was out of church close to 5 year's, I was totally exhausted, and, was wounded. I thank God, for Jesus, who healed me, and, seperated me from the church, and the rituals of the church.. He has set my feet, on a solid foundation in Him..
@@lorettabrown3246 ...rejoicing with you Sister. The anointing will destroy the yokes!! In Jesus name. Amen. Some make attending church a religion BUT we must have a relationship with God which is sustainable for our spirit and soul. And most times, we must separate ourselves to hear God's instructions and directions. Amen.
There are some Hypocrites who think they are doing God a favor just by going to Church regularly even though their minds are somewhere else and therefore they should just stay at home. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice! 🙏🏽
Thank You Jesus for using Pastor Reginald Sharpe to preach this awesome message 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🧎🏾♀️🧎🏾♀️🧎🏾♀️ On time message…….Glory Be To God 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Confirmation 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
First time hearing this minister. This popped up on my YT. Thank the Lord. Amen Pastor for teaching (04/2022) the Truth. Thank you. This message is for all levels of Believers, not just pastors. Attending church can be a religion for many BUT a strengthened relationship with God is sustainability, in or out of church. It's important to recognize the environment you're in and know when the Lord is leading you out. Obedience to God is everything. Amen again.
Jesus said, "If u love Me keep my Commandments", so read this; We have to obey God's ten Commandments, and keep the Sabbath Day Holy, not Sunday day but Sabbath Day on Saturday it's on the seventh Day of the week amen amen and amen ❤. The Sabbath Day for the people of God, so if you not belong to God then you don't need to keep the Sabbath Day Holy, amen)))
2 Samuel 6:3-7 Modern English Version 3 They loaded the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio the sons of Abinadab were driving the new cart. 4 They brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on the hill, and Ahio was walking in front of the ark. 5 Meanwhile, David and the entire house of Israel were celebrating before the Lord with all sorts of instruments made of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals. 6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled. 7 The Lord became angry against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence. He died there beside the ark of God.
The WORD DOES NOT KILL PEOPL. you should stop this untruth!. What you described what took the man out does NOT have anything to do with The WORD. THE WORD IS LIFE!
When you leave religiosity and tradition and actually build disciples you certainly reduce or even eliminate stress. Because disciples will build the church (Acts)!! The problem is too many churches are built on the pastor and mega memebership and not discipleship...just sayin.....😮
MY GOD! MY GOD REVEREND! THAT WAS SOME GOOD OLD-TIME-MY PREACHING! BUT A "RIGHT NOW" MESSAGE! PLUS, SOME BEAUTIFUL &: POWERFUL INSIGHTS! I HAD OFTEN WONDERED WHY THE LORD KILLED THE YOUNG MAN--SEEING THAT HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO PREVENT THE ARK FROM FALLING! BUT YOU BROUGHT OUT MASTERFULLY THAT GOD JEHOVAH NEVER MEANT FOR IT TO BE CARRIED BY OXEN ON CARTS. BUT BY PRIESTS. GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER! Y-E-A-H!
First off is disobedience ministry? Will Gods anger burn against one who is doing the work of ministry? Uzzah disobeyed God. I don’t know if I’m the only one that thinks this message is not in accord with the word of God but Im reminded of Matthew 10:39 “He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. Jesus tells Peter in John 21:15-17 that if he love Him to tend His lambs, shepherd His sheep, and tend His sheep. John 15:13 Jesus says “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. Love is laying down your life. This message sounds like a very selfish claim about ministry! Don’t you know that your days are already numbered. I’m not against rest for pastors but count the cost because the ministry is self sacrificing. If you not ready to lose your life just be a sheep and leave shepherding to the ones that’s not worried about their life but the life and spiritual wellbeing of the defenseless sheep!
