It is such gladness to live a life without the shackles and being chained to sin. Waking up in the morning being grateful. Not having to drink. Not having to 🚬 smoke. Not being in bondage. Free to be who my Lord, Master of the universe has created me to be. I can now, finally have a real 😃 smile that comes from the inside shining out. Having a newness of life in Christ. Cause I still remember the darkness. My only hope is that all those who new me then will ask. WHAT HAPPEN. Then I can tell them about JESUS
One man said it like this about meekness is being powerful but choosing to put your sword up, having the power and ability to swing it but instead you sheath your sword I think I was even confused about meekness for a lot of years,
Wonderful teaching! Growing up I mostly seen the mean and harshness of holiness. It caused all my siblings to walk away from God. Some of us have come back. I swore I would never attend a holiness church, though. But recently I have visited a handful and they mostly have the same attitude as you.
A lot is regularly said by our great speakers in the Apostolic Church concerning holiness but one thing that is never said concerning holiness but needs to be said is that there are many, even at the highest level of leadership, co-dependently enabling compromise of true holiness inside and out ie. “the whole man” or “the whole woman” in the Church. Because of this when families bring their children into the Church even on the altar is full of flesh even in the more conservative Churches and organizations and it shouldn’t be that way in God’s altar. Many Christians come with their children into an apostolic Church assuming they are escaping that kind of fleshly setting wanting to be IMMERSED into the Spirit of truth until by their surprise and disappointment they realize they were not correct about that assumption but are immersed into more compromise and worldliness no matter what Church or conference you attend. There seems to be some kind of stronghold in the apostolic Church that virtually 100 % of the men are fully covered, fully clothed to the wrists, ankles, and most of those with a tie cinched up to the neck but maybe less than 2% of the women are fully covered or fully clothed in that manner. I know the man spiritually represents the priesthood and the woman represents the true condition of the Church so tell me please why the silence on these issues?
Another thing that should be noted and shared with believers, especially because of the silence, and is so amazingly true, is that true holiness very rarely comes with the affirmation of men but with the conviction and confirmation that comes from God. Luke 17:20b-21 KJV Jesus speaking, [20b]The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: [21] ➡️Neither shall ➡️they say⬅️, Lo 👉here! 👉or, lo 👉there! for, behold, the ➡️kingdom of God is within you⬅️.
Steven, coulon.....why does apostolic churches focus so much on outward appearance? Theres more focus on the outside more than whats on the inside...i read in the bible that man looks at the outward appearance but god looks at the heart.... so for apostolics the women should be taken back to the stone age ....? A young girl should look like an old lady? i am confused at the focus...also the belief that every one is going to hell except apostolics.....sounds very cultish.....legalistic belief system...many people look outwardly righteous .............. but wicked on the inside...i have met some of those people...i have learned to ignore some of the beliefs about hair and makeup and jewelry.... if i listen to you guys telling me i cant wear the wedding ring my husband gave me...mmmm complete nonsense......a person can get sooo super spiritual until they become no earthy good....to anyone else......the constant focus on hair and makeup and jewelry and mustache , and clothing (stupidness) has made me feel like i am in bondage and unable to be an individual that GOD made me to be with a personality...instead of these strict man made distorted interpretation of the bible......i am guessing that a man that wears a mustache is going to hell.....how ridiculous that sounds....and a woman that clip the ends of her hair is going to hell too?....because she is not holy enough on the outside....imagine me a grown woman paying my own bills listening to some one tell me i cannot buy a television and put it in my house?. Its what you watch on tv....if u r a person with no self control then by all means dont get a tv... but i watch the news and documentaries and i am told i should throw out my tv? So if there is a real global emergency i should not know whats going on cause i am blinded by some CULT doctrine...i need to just keep reading my bible and praying and keep my eyes on jesus and ignore mans foolishness
@@sephorareynolds5786 Jesus also said that you will know them by their fruit. Fruit is what’s on the outside, also to whom much is given, much is required. When Jesus inspected fruit the most is when he was dealing with leadership. Holiness is wholeness body soul and spirit. The more one studies the Bible, the more they understand its typologies and things that were at first very confusing to them become very elementary. Things one doesn’t understand now becomes as life and death to one who engages in spiritual warfare and deliverance day in and day out. The subject of hair for instance. Hair in the Bible speaks of God’s covering power and glory which is being VEILED unto God and an attitude and mindset of being separate from the world and from the devil’s schemes and deception. The outward appearance of the woman in the Church, especially in leadership, and how she carries herself consistently is a picture of the condition of the Church because the woman as far as typology is concerned, is representative of the Church so the woman who is the weaker vessel or more vulnerable biblically so she must be reminded and she must be a reminder to all who see and meet her that she is veiled unto God and separate from the world. That’s why her hair in 1Corinthians 11 is to be long whereas the uncut speaks of the Spiritual, meaning complete obedience to every word of God for success. Matthew 4:4, Joshua 1:7-9 KJV All men on the other hand are called to the priesthood. To the Spiritual man in leadership being a priest of God, facial hair is a separation (a veil) between him and God and that’s not an option for him. The Spiritual man wants to meet with God face to face. Goat hair was also used as a covering, A VEIL, on the top of the wilderness tabernacle which represents the scapegoat exchange which was symbolic of (2 Corinthians5:21 KJV) Jesus and Barabbus or Jesus and the sinner to be more specific. The significance of hair and the vail is found in Hebrews 10:19-20 KJV
@@sephorareynolds5786 Holiness has to do with the total man or the total woman inside and out. Fruit has to do with what it seen and what is seen is very important especially in leadership because of influence and “the immersion factor”. That’s why the scriptures tell us to abstain from the very appearance of evil. Baptized means immersed with Christ Jesus into death and burial of the old man and of the things of the natural and fleshly and things such as worldliness and such and likewise immersion into the spiritual realm and the life in Christ in the Holy Ghost. Romans 6, Colossians 3:3 KJV
Holiness is purity of heart or disposition; sanctified affections; piety; moral goodness, but not perfect. That which is separated to the service of God! According to Webster.
I recently got back in church. I took my family to a Pentecostal church .. when I left that organization they had holiness standards.. now the women are wearing pants and cutting their hair. I’m just so upset and confused. The pastor told me that is a personal convictions.. but I don’t believe this.. how do I address this? Do I just leave this church? Some still are holding to the old beliefs but many do not 😢
I am so sad to hear this! I am thankful I go to a church that holds on to the biblical principles and teachings of holiness. I would find another church that has not lost their previous consecrations. Praying for you, and welcome home!
Somebody said why do you care why is it any of your business well I guess you got a point there if I was to answer that person who said that but I'd also say if your heart was full of love and your heart was full of joy and you knew something you tell me about it if you were what people call a hero you run into a burning building to try to save somebody why why should they care and it's not somebody that they know that's possibly losing their life in that burning building why should we care any decent human being cares about another human being and especially when you got the love of God in you then you care about the torment and the pain that you see people in would you take them to a doctor would you take him to the hospital is no different I can see you suffering and know the life you've been in the life that you are in and I can say a simple thing like you knew what I knew and I tell you another thing I know where you're at because I was there one time too I think the Lord I thank God that I was not raised or born in the church and I'm not against anybody who he is or has been but I know what it's like to not know God I know what it's like to think I know God and then God come along and show me a more excellent way fill me with the holy Ghost show me his tangible supernatural power in my life and no different than anything else in this life where somebody tries to save somebody from drowning or somebody at the job site you know an accident happens and you try to help him get out of that hole whatever they're Tangled up In you know your own hands will start bleeding trying to cut the wire away cuz they've got tangled up in it so many areas that you can talk about everyday that even the person who asked that question why should you care if they seen a automobile accident would try to help the person that stuck behind the wheel or would try to comfort them cuz they could see their fear and that's the same thing we feel that's why we care cuz no different than we would comfort that person is stuck behind the wheel is the same way we want to let you know about something that we found most people find gold they just they don't want to let nobody know cuz they don't want the gold rush to come in but this is different this ain't like I'm going to get any richer or I can hoard God to myself cuz I can't this is something that all who may all who will come and also God's got a gift for you, and who don't like a gift but see this is a gift that like he told the Samaritan woman that though you do you drink from this well this gift you will never thirst again I'd have to disagree a little bit with the Lord on that cuz I thirst for him all the time I long for him all the time I want more of him I want him more and I want to want him more I love him more and I want to love him more I want to show him how much I'm thankful for him and I want to have a want to to show him how much I'm thankful for him and if I don't have enough then I want more so that I can show him more and I will keep praying until I get that more I pray anybody and everybody that heard this message today that the Lord will open their hearts their mind their eyes let them see let them receive God just wants to get you out of this train wreck that is coming and I know a lot of people got pretty good lives in the standards of the world but there's still something on the inside that can be filled that won't have to be empty no more than when the loved ones are sick you can actually pray for them you don't have to go through it by yourself and you know God's able to do all things above and beyond that which we can ask even think we can even imagine he can do it God bless you all in Jesus name
I haven't been in this thing as long as the pastor has but there's one thing I've noticed in 30 years of being in The Church, is if we ain't careful it will seem that living for God is only about standards, and there are many in the church even today that for whatever reason lack of a prayer life spiritual walk that's what they base their walk with God on that they dress what we call holy but I can tell you like this the day I got the holy Ghost 30 years ago and so much time didn't nobody have to tell me anything it just automatically came out of me I'm serious I didn't have anybody out of that bible study tell me I needed to do this or I needed to do that anything I wanted to and that's what the brother is talking about right here is when you're walking in the spirit you're walking toward righteousness and holiness you just it's in your heart now anybody out there that don't know about the gift of the holy Ghost believe me if you get the holy Ghost automatically something inside of you wants to be pure and the things that you never thought were before anything wrong with all of a sudden it's like your eyes are open to it and you just do it because you feel it you just feel it that's the reason the world don't understand they think we're in bondage they think they're weird you know putting ourself through something and they don't realize that if you have what I have then it would automatically come from the inside out if you'll notice the radicals on the street these baby killers and these animal worshipers and these Earth worshipers you notice they got a lot of holes in them they got tattoos all over them they got all kinds of different color hair sometimes it's even cropped off on women and they're wearing these type of clothes let me just like you can see these people in their sickness from a far off you can see him coming because what's on the inside will come out I'm not trying to get in front of my brother here he's led by God and has God's words in his mouth but I was just expanding on what I personally have seen and know this to be true that is it's not about putting somebody in bond it just it's not even about putting ourselves in some kind of fun it's actually setting ourselves free most people wouldn't admit how much bondage they're in because of just the headache and the stress that comes with having to make themselves up a certain way and look a certain way and get the makeup on just right and have their hair a certain way and I'm not saying that you shouldn't make yourself presentable don't get me wrong but there's a difference, and the world knows exactly what I'm talking about but anyway God bless in Jesus name
What a great question! 😉 Indulge me for a moment to express my thoughts to your questions. I only like to use the Word of God to answer questions about God. 1. The Bible says there is one God. The Jews taught this to their children every single day. Deuteronomy 6:4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 2. There is only 1 throne and one who sits on the throne. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Rev 5:13 3. God states there is no savior besides him in the Old Testament but Jesus is called the savior in the New Testament. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. Isaiah 43:11 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Acts 13:23 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:11 4. God is a Spirit. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 5. God himself manifested himself in the flesh. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. I Timothy 3:16 6. There is 3 that bear record in Heaven, but this that bears record is 1. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 7. Jesus is the Word, and the Word was at the beginning of time and created all things that were made. 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John1:14 8. Jesus and the Father is one. I and my father are one John 10:30 9. Jesus is the name of the Father. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 5:43 10. There is one God. One faith and one baptism. Ephesians 4:5-6 11. We should baptize in the name of God: Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; there are more. 12. There is not salvation in any other name. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12. 13. Baptism is part of salvation. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: I Peter 3:21 14. We are to do all in Word and deed in the name of Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 15. The child that is born is called the everlasting Father Isaiah 9:6 16. If the above scriptures coincide, and do not contradict, which I believe they do compliment each other without contradiction, Then there is one throne, one name, one Spirit that manifested as flesh as our only Savior, Lord. Then the answer to your question is that you will see all the fullness of the Godhead sitting on the throne as The manifested, glorified flesh who bears the only name Jesus. Colossians 2:9- For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. The body dwells all that fullness. Jesus is God. There is one throne, one God and it dwells bodily in the manifested, glorified body of God. He bears many different titles as father, son, lion, spotless lamb, shepherd, bread, light, king, savior, alpha, omega, Jehovah, prince of peace, Holy Ghost/Spirit, but his name is one: Jesus. This Jesus encompasses it all bodily. His name was hid in an angel in the Old Testament and revealed by an angel in the New Testament. (Luke 2) 17. Zechariah 14:9-And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. I hope this helps! 😎💕

Thank you for the comment. Of course we separate from. As you point out. The point however is that we are headed toward Jesus, not that our attention and focus remains on sin. Noah built an ark to the saving of his house, that was the primary reason. Our primary reason is faith. The destruction of the world was secondary. We are motivated by salvation, not destruction.
