Renewing One's Self 

Hello Ronald, JUST ME, and Sparky Mac, and Ernie. May or may not read this, but it is my boiler plate answer to these Ads. Here you go: Just to explain these frustrating, unwanted, Ads from RU-vid... first, this channel is NOT monetized.. I’ve never made a red cent from sharing the lectures, never have, never will. And as a Student of God’s Word, through Shepherd’s Chapels’ teachers, as I’m confident most, if not all of the Watchers of this channel are, you’re asking the important questions: So why all of these Ads? What’s going on here? This is what I’ve learned from simple research on the internet. Once the answers are given here, as Pastor Murray would always say, don’t trust this man or any other without checking it out for yourselves. So, some time ago, RU-vid started a new policy regarding their right to place ads. If one does not own the content they are posting, such as on this channel, then RU-vid can add any ads they feel like. It upsets me just as much as everyone who watches this channel. This is what a Google search says: "Ads may appear on your uploaded videos even if you haven't monetized the videos yourself. If your video contains content to which you don't own all necessary rights, the rights holder may have chosen to place ads on it. RU-vid may also place ads on videos in channels not in the RU-vid Partner Program." So, interesting right? RU-vid has found a way to make money on channels that are receiving phenomenal views. If the channel owner won’t monetize by adding the ads, they certainly want that advertising money opportunity to go somewhere, straight into their pockets. The 2nd thing the above Google search quote revealed to us, is that the “rights holder” of the content, which is Shepherd’s Chapel, can authorize the Ads. Well, I assure you, Shepherd’s Chapel has not chosen to place Ads on this channel. Next, what is this “Partner Program” and why haven’t I joined if that could prevent the ads you see? RU-vid’s Partner Program is for channels that MONETIZE. Let’s read what a simple Google search says: “The RU-vid Partner Program (YPP) gives creators greater access to RU-vid resources and monetization features, and access to our Creator Support teams. It also allows revenue sharing from ads being served on your content. Learn more about the features, eligibility criteria, and application details in this article.” As I stated before, I won’t monetize this channel. When researching the Partner Program, RU-vid is trying to make the channel owner more money from more ads. That’s not the goal. The only aim is providing God’s Word to His Elect as we reach a critical time of learning all that can be absorbed in these end times. For those that understand and have researched this same RU-vid issue, that still suffer through these unwanted ads because they interrupt the teachings of the precious Word of God, I have found an offered solution that one can do to avoid them, but there is a financial burden that RU-vid places on us for that solution. It is called purchasing RU-vid Premium. I too watch the uploaded studies very frequently, rewatching, relearning, reinforcing God’s Word in my heart and mind. I see the same ads. Then, RU-vid flashed an option of joining RU-vid Premium. You can read what it’s all about here: ru-vid.com Now please do not misinterpret where I’m going with this. I’m not pushing anyone to join RU-vid Premium. I’m not affiliated with RU-vid, and I do not benefit in any form or fashion from anyone joining. It is the only solution I have found, and I’m thinking I may join simply to avoid the same ads that so many viewers have commented on here on this channel. I figure with fast-food rates being so high lately, I pay $12 bucks for just a single combo meal, and maybe even for us on a budget, if I skip one of those meals once a month, how much more will I enjoy the spiritual meat that will fill my soul, uninterrupted by fiery darts ads. (Matthew 7:3-5 & Matthew 5:1) I have read from one fellow student "JUST ME", that Ad Blocker Plus solves the problem as well… have not tested this yet. Final thought: Please consider regularly tithing to the makers of this content, Shepherd’s Chapel, and share in the support and blessings of this ministry. Send to The Shepherd’s Chapel, PO Box 416 Gravette, AR 72736.

I absolutely respect your inquiry and advice. Please read my description section. This channel has NEVER been monetized by me. RU-vid has new policies that took control of it all. Here's and updated website to prove what I'm saying, and how to avoid the RU-vid generated commercials... Shepherd’s Chapel with Pastor Arnold Murray. *This CHANNEL IS NOT MONETIZED* Here’s PROOF: Go to: ytlarge.com/youtube/monetization-checker/ Enter this Channel’s URL: www.youtube.com/@ShepherdChapelStudent COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: “Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use." ANOTHER WAY TO CHECK MONETIZATION on RU-vid: Install this Chrome App: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/check-monetization/hcpbkgmihdmgecabghhddmppipjnkdje?pli=1 WHY THE ADS?: For the record, I have no control over these horrible ADS due to RU-vid’s updated policies and I’ve never made a red cent from RU-vid. If you know of a way to block RU-vid’s new policy, let me know! RU-vid’S AD POLICIES: RU-vid updated their AD policy in 2022 where they state: “Ads can now appear on videos from channels not in the RU-vid Partner Program (YPP)…” However, to be in the RU-vid Partner Program, you have to monetize your channel to control the ADS. Basically, RU-vid now has the right to add the ADS they choose, if a channel does not own the content that is uploaded. I don’t’ own the S.C. content, so they can put ADS on this channel. I hate that, but I also know this platform reaches countless people, so don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. blog.youtube/news-and-events/updates-to-youtubes-terms-of-service/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4T7_qGCX7WM.html WAYS AROUND THE ADS: Get RU-vid Premium. It’s $13.99/month, and you won’t see any more ads while studying. ru-vid.com I watch and study on my own private account when I'm on the road, which is a great deal of time, and I watch Ad Free and a monthly cost. I also watch from my ROKU at home, and it is Ad free because of RU-vid Premium. Now, no one really wants to support the thieving RU-vid, but it allows us to see the lectures and it’s reaching a lot of God’s Elect, putting His seal in their foreheads, the grey matter. GOOGLE CHROME AD BLOCKER: If one watches from their computer, and they use Chrome web browser, there are Ad Blockers for RU-vid: chromewebstore.google.com/search/youtube%20adbock?hl=en-US& WATCHING ON YOUR CELLPHONE AD BLOCKER: If you watch on your cellphone, I use iPhone, when I go to the App Store, I typed "RU-vid Ad Blocker" and several Ads come up that supposedly block the Ads. I haven't tried any, so can't vouch for what works and doesn't, because I have the RU-vid Premium which blocks the Ads. If there are some that still are not convinced and think I'm a liar and a money maker? Well, don't trust this man or any other, without checking him out first. Here's how you do that: www.google.com/search?q=how+do+you+know+if+someone+is+monetized+on+youtube&oq=you+to+know+if+someone+has+monetized+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgBEAAYFhgeMgYIABBFGDkyCAgBEAAYFhgeMg0IAhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IAxAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBBAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBRAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMgYIBxBFGEAyBggIEEUYQDIGCAkQRRhA0gEJMTAwNTRqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 FAST FORWARD A fellow student says that if you forward the lecture to the end, then put it back at the beginning, the ADS disappear. Haven’t tried this, but it’s worth a shot! Thanks Andrea! SHARE IN THE BLESSINGS: Please tithe to the official Shepherd’s Chapel ministry: PO Box 416 Gravette, AR 72736. As pastor Arnold Murray says, if they’ve helped you, please help them keep coming to you, won’t you do that? God bless you all, my brothers and sister, and keep studying at the official Shepherd’s Chapel RU-vid and website, right here on this channel, on other students’ channels, and feel free to download all the content here and share on your channels, with friends, family, and all that will listen… while we have time! That’s what it’s all about. God bless His Elect, Amen!

to be honest I believe you....Was it the Holy Spirit? I too have been to churches where they speak in tongues and my spirit wants me to stay away from BABBLE. But the Holy spirit now, you know, when you know. No point to explain to us, go do what the Message and you interpreter received

I got no ads. This would be very frustrating. Look at add blockers.

Just to explain these frustrating Ads from RU-vid... Nothing on this channel is monetized.. RU-vid, some time ago, started a new policy. If one does not own the content they are posting, such as on this channel, then RU-vid can add any ads they feel like. It upsets me just as much as everyone who watches this channel. This is what a Google search says: "Ads may appear on your uploaded videos even if you haven't monetized the videos yourself. If your video contains content to which you don't own all necessary rights, the rights holder may have chosen to place ads on it. RU-vid may also place ads on videos in channels not in the RU-vid Partner Program." We KNOW, Shepherd's Chapel isn't coming to my channel and advertising, so it's RU-vid. As far as the RU-vid PARTNER PROGRAM goes, one has to sign up to be monetized, which I won't, because that program tries to make one MORE MONEY from their monetized channel. IF this channel were monetized, I possibly would gain control of turning of ADS that people see, but because of all of that, we are all stuck watching ADs now. I assure you, as a student of the Shepherd's Channel, I have never monetized, nor will ever monetize. I just pray God's Elect are getting all of the Chapel's teachings of God's Word, and they are studying to seal God's Words in their foreheads. God bless you, and all those who are asking about this, and looking out for the chapel. No one should ever make money off of God's Word. We all need to only become rich in knowledge and understanding of His truth.

Wonder if the Chapel is being paid for these adds?

i use adbocker plus' no adds period; good luck and god bless
