Hi Mike, yes, amen. Jesus must increase, and we must decrease, dying to ourselves and living unto Him and for others. Thanks for the comment and God bless!
Do not trust any “man”. We cannot look to “man”, but to the Lord. Those who call themselves “pastors” need to affirm this and point people to dependence on Jesus, not themselves.
Hi Carolyn, well said, I agree. Thanks for your comment. No one is infallible from failing. We are to bear each other's burdens in love, but our trust is in the Lord. God bless.
Few are actually preaching from The Word. We are warned in advance of the times we are in. Collossian 2:8 come to mind Pastor Mike. This message is amazingly timely. Just had that very conversation with my spouse one hr before this video was posted. Lord Bless.
Hi Mike, I believe this is a conversation that many christians are having in these perilous times with such deception and a blatant lack of the fear of the Lord. God help us.
I havent attended church in about 17 years . The churches even the people go dressed ( not for church) its more like a country club so everyone can see what you own, the brands of clothing you wear. I just walk away. Yes they love money, by the way my family came from canada, i lived there for a summer and loved it in Bluffton Alberta off wilson creek road. My heart is still there.
Hi Sandra, thank you for your comment, there are definitely people like that in many churches who make a show of religion, without a pure relationship of love with Christ, the Head of the Church. Thankfully, the Lord has a Church of real believers who are human and not perfect but are also not judgmental hypocrites. He is building His Church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, amen! God bless.
Hi Bridget, thanks for your comment, you are right, tender love, support, encouragement, affirmation, hope and the milk of the word to grow in their spiritual life. We cannot neglect them, they are Christ's and He has entrusted them to us, amen! God bless.
A much needed word Pastor Mike. Lord please heal the Sheep that have been wounded by the shepherds they thought they could trust i pray in Jesus name. Help them find a good church with true God fearing and loving Shepards who would lay down their lives for them and will help rebuild their trust and confidence again father I pray in Jesus name . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Wendy, thanks for sharing, I know your heart goes out to the broken hearted, and the hurting. How God needs you in His Kingdom to bring hope and restoration! God bless.
Thank you Pastor Mike! I appreciate your word on being called by God, fulfilling the calling, preserving the sheep in gentleness, truth, and by every word that comes from the mouth of God. You are a wonderful Pastor! When a Pastor or minister or teacher preaches, it must be for the good of the Sheep, and in love for Christ Jesus. If it hurts or drives people away from God, then the message is lost. I do pray for the good of believers on their journey with the Lord. God Bless you, Julie, and your family.☦️💕
Hi Julie, thank you for your kindness, as the Apostle Paul put it, "By the grace of God, I am what I am". That applies to each one of us, so the Lord bless you as well as you serve Him with such love and dedication, He is so pleased with you! God bless.
My wife and I were born again wonderfully in 1990 and attended pentecostal churches for 26 years. We suffered much from controlling, lying and manipulating pastors and judgmental christians in these places. We have been attending Catholic church for the last eight years where there is humility and sincere love in most of the people who are there. The priest is open to teaching on the Holy Spirit and we believe the Lord will reveal the Truth by his Spirit in this place - from Australia
Hi Michael, thanks for taking the time to share your story with me, that is a long time to experience what you have described. Very sad indeed. Thank God, not all pentecostal, Spirit-filled, charismatic churches are like that. I was saved in a Pentecostal church service and it totally transfomed my life and ministry over the following 38 years. God has a remnant of true believers and leaders in every church, and He knows them that are His. I'm glad you and your dear wife have found peace and joy in the Kingdom of God. God bless!
What a great message Pastor Mike. Nobody will call these things out and speak the truth. May God convict those who need to repent and turn as the word says judgement starts in the House of God. And bring healing to all who’ve been hurt and led astray. Change us oh Lord for your glory. God bless you with continued boldness and confidence 🙏
What bothers me mega churches run by lavish life styles on donations that sell or give air time to really good ministries doesn’t that bother them using their facilities?
Hi Sandra, that is very kind of you, I don't solicit funds on my channel, but if anyone wanted to support the ministry, they can easily do so by etransfer at flcioffice@gmail.com Cheques made out to Freedom Life Church can be mailed to Freedom Life Church, 20 Shirk Place, Kitchener, Ontario N2K 1R4 A tax receipt is issued for those requesting it. Thanks Sandra and God bless!
A true Sherperd will lay down his life for the sheep. Amen

Milk comes before solid food. Solid food is for those who can stomach it. Milk is for babes who need comfort. Don't forget the babes.

Hi Dallas, your words impart life, courage, faith and truth into my spirit, I am grateful!
Amen Pastor.. May the Lord continue to safe guard the ones who He has placed here to tend to His sheep❤ God bless you and keep you.

this is how it was in the 1st century, nepotistic church situations made youtube videos then the temple was destroyed
Yes, I agree but many do abuse it. (Salary to answer the calling) from The Most High 💜
Hi Veronica, you're right and God knows the true from the false shepherds. He will expose them as His Glory intensifies in His Church. God bless.
Where do we give? If you could put a po. box or address to send money it would be nice.
