Thank You Pastor Greg. My seventh year and it starts off with pestilence, if it gets worse, famine will follow. We must push for all peoples, to get past 3 1/2 year, where evil won't want any part of Gods people. Only 5 mos. Of 7 years, and if you do the 3/3 prophecy, we're not even 1/4 eay trough the first half. Did my 7 yrs. Gonna keep on helping. See you on fb.
I said this prayer... i have a hard time believing jesus forgives me and thinks i'm worth it to be in his kingdom. but i surrendered i'm tired without you Lord. I wanna live thru you. I hope i can find the comfort in knowing he's with me always. Thank u for this sermon
My late husband was told by two different people that he had two twelve foot tall angels walking behind him. We are both protected, there are too many times when God saved us from bad things happening or if they did happen, good things came out of it. There were several times he was brought out of comas, he was brought back from certain death.
We are warned not to be angel conscience, rather be Holy Spirit conscience. Angels have ministries that pertain to what kind of angel they are. Angels do the work of God as we are to do.. We don't look for them, have conversations with them,or give them orders. Our security is knowing,by the written Word, that their are angels and they camp around those that love God.
Merritta Scott Amen. We have to be careful not to be caught up in contacting SPIRITS! Even if you don’t want to contact an evil spirit but an angel, it is not our business to do that nor is it safe or God’s will for us to practice divination Christians! The Holy Spirit provides and the angels follow the instruction of the Lord, thus we must praise and pray to the Lord.
Pastor greg, I love that after every sermon you give people a chance to get saved. So many pastors have stopped doing that. I also love watching your sermon and how you keep it down to earth so that everyone can understand. I to have lost a child and I'm trying to grow as a Christian so that my faith stays strong.
Pastor your messages have always inspired my spirit. I have listened to you on the radio from the 90’s til the present. I’ve been watching your UA-cam for the last 2 years. Thanks for the comforting message from Gods word. Robbie
Pastor Greg, I had the priviledge to sit under yours and other great teachers at Harvest for 10+ yrs. Your messages (and Gregisms) still ring true all the time. I know your teachings are and were God inspired. I grew so very much in my personal walk with Christ. I have heard your message of Daniel and the Lion's den many times and yet as I sat listening to this message ,many years removed from being at Harvest, it all seemed fresh and new as my continued growth has given me new ears and new eyes to receive the messages you present. God Bless you and keep you in all your ways until that day we meet again here on earth or in heaven
I was a 70's baby . I can recall in my early 20's (although a church attender - I was unsaved) angel worship was huge. People had cabnets & shelves with what nots of angels. Books, pictures, etc. It was (is) a ridiculous shame. In Jesus name God bless
I was an 80's baby. I was a teenager in the 1990s and I do remember how much of a fad angel worship was. People had those "guardian angel" pins on their shoulders. I also remember people trying to attract angels, trying to figure out how to contact angels, etc. I am glad I did not get caught up in it. The Bible is clear that we are not to worship angels.
Kay Marie That is good, and it is true. Let’s be sure that we are not seeking them out, though. If the Lord says they are there for us, they are there. But it’s not our job to INVITE them or THANK them because our pleasure is only a byproduct of their desire to please God, right? Just as the angel told Joshua that he is NOT on his side, but God’s side, it is not out of love for us that angels protect us, but love for God. And we must let them. Lest we get carried away by the temptation of divination and contact with spirits.
The amazing amazing awesome event its just as Steven before he went to be with the Lord and just as we are taken by the angels to heaven Jesus himself opens the heavens he is watching as we are takened up to be with him... Hallelujah praise God almighty
Hello Pastor Laurie, so thankful that your preaching and teaching about Holy Angel's and Jesus and Daniel. This was really beautiful and reassuring. Thankyou for sharing your faith. GOD bless. 🙏🦋
My best friends husband passed way before Christmas. When he passed at the hospital, there daughter who is mentally challenged got excited because she saw the Angel's taking daddy up through the roof.
@@ajaesterling Hi, I am reading comments I don't find confirmed in scripture. If it's not written about, the best thing to do is not get caught up into things beyond the Word of God. These things can cause ppl to accept seeing angels as natural. Seeing angels doesn't give faith in God or the Gospel of Christ. It would be a worthless experience for anyone spiritually.
Two stories: I have a guardian angel. At 65 I’m not exactly a child. His name is Thomas. I know this because I prayed and asked Jesus. Story 2: I was meeting a friend for coffee. While I was parking I saw 2 angels standing on the corner outside the coffee shop. Sometimes I can see in the spirit; I’d have needed to because they were dressed like regular guys. Getting out of my car, a man in the car beside mine started hassling me. I ignored him until he threatened to hit me. Sometimes I’m crazy, but that was my line in the sand. I turned around in the middle of the street and told him to just try. Before he could get out of the car, those angels revealed their glorified selves. The light was so bright it lit up the night. That guy was so scared he couldn’t get away fast enough!
Patti Hawks I’m sorry, I’m afraid I don’t know what to ‘blame’ a psychiatrist for? If you don’t believe my stories, that’s your prerogative. But, you’ll find in life opinions are like herpes. You may have them, but there’s never a need to share them.
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. Psalms 91:11-12 NKJV But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:13-14 NKJV
Thank you so much for this message. I am very blessed. May the Lord continue to bless and anoint you. You have explained God’s word easy to understand. Praise the Lord for that.
I was going to say this same thing. I went out to eat with a group of friends last year. My friend was talking about this sweet old man that he had never met before coming up to him and sharing Christian books for him to read to educate himself to help others. My friend’s mom then said that that was an angel. I then said I’ve met an angel before too! I was out of town for business/ministry and it was my son’s birthday. I cried through the whole day off and on. This woman that I had never met before came up to me, kissed me on the forehead and said God bless you. The second that I finished telling that story, our server came up to the table. Her name was Angel.
Praying 🙏. When I was 13/14 in 1970/1971, my sister used to take me to THE TENT ⛺️ in Costa Mesa in her 56 Chevy. We were there. Now my grandkids listen to your sermons everyday on the way to school. Chuck was awesome. You SOUND AND LOOK, just like his SON. MARANATHA. THANK YOU! It’s been a glorious journey in Jesus!
I believe adults do have guardian angels. On June 7th 2020 we were at my sisters house visiting and it was a new house to us. My wife had to go to the bathroom and didn’t know where it was so my sister told her it was over there and pointed to the general location. My wife went over and opened the door she thought was the door to the bathroom and stepped in to turn on the light and in an instant she was at the bottom of the basement steps. She was expecting there to be floor but to her surprise there was no floor but 13 steps down to the basement. We all went to her rescue and miraculously she was able to stand up and then walk up the steps. I believe with all my heart that she was protected by God and perhaps he had deployed an angel to soften her fall as she fell backwards headfirst down the steps. She was banged up and had a road to recovery of aches and pains and she did fracture her L2 Vertebrae but she could easily have been killed, paralyzed, or broken leg, hip or wrist but none of that happened....praise be to God! She is 80 years old and God has spared her life because he isn’t done with her yet on this earth to serve Him which she does so beautifully!
Pastor Laurie, you said in this sermon God will never give you more than you can handle. That's not at all true! Nowhere in the bible does it say that! It means God will be with you and get you through what ever your facing but not independently of yourself. Psalms 46:10 Be still and know that I am God! God bless you pastor!
I was watching this and it touched me to ask pastor Greg did you obey the unGodly law of not holding church during the quarantine? You said you would obey the laws of God than man
Angels were male during Bible times because of the male dominated culture. A female angel would have been totally ignored. I’ve had several encounters over the decades all male except one here in Waco. Her name is Miriam and she encouraged me one Sunday in our crowded lobby. Asked if she was a greeter and she just said she hung out by the north entrances. I asked the head of that department about her and she said that we don’t have a Miriam as a greeter. I said you do now. God bless y’all.
Jill Comfort wow. That is an awesome experience. Once when I was eating at a white castles I saw a guy hitch hiking near an overpass and I bought a meal and took it over to him and he really appreciated it. As i was walking away he said to me; “can I pray for you ?”’ And he said a prayer to me. And that’s the last time I saw him.
@Jill Comfort If God has sent an angel it is for specific God purpose. What you saw was no angel. From what you discribe, not how poor, but the kind of conversation. Demons do appear as human just to decieve AND cause ppl to get their eyes on the supernatural experiences. Just love and study the Word of God and grow in your love, trusting God with all that concerns you.
Yes! Last year, I WAS GOING TO WENDYS TO GET CHEESEBURGERS. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TOI GET THERE , I SAW A MAN HOLDING A SIGN THAT SAID IM HUNGRY. ALL THE CARS WERE JUST PASSING BY WITH NO SYMPATHY. I DROVE TO WENDYS N GOT HIM CHEESEBURGERS. I ASK HIM IF I COULD GET HIM ANYTHING ELSE, HE SAID NO. AS I WAS PULLING AWAY IOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. HE WAS EATING THE BURGER , I looked again in a second he disappeared. YES! ANGELS ARE AROUND US.
you talking in revelation? God already did a similar thing in Egypt before the exodus demonstrating his supremacy over the Egyptian god's since one of the god's the Egyptians worshiped was the sun god. It was a demonstration of his sovereignty over all man made gods. I don't imagine god would want you to be scared, I imagine he would give you the necessary comfort and strength to help you in every situation in life because he cares about us.
@Jill Comfort I understand that the Catholics are teaching to lock yourself up so the demons can't find you. Ridiculous to think that demons can't find you in the dark when they are OF the darkness. They are spirits so locked doors won't keep them out either. Whoever has the Holy Spirit is sealed and need not be afraid.
Don't be afraid you have God spirit living within you, that's only if you are born again and Believe Jesus is your Lord and Savior and died on the cross for all of our sins. If so you are never alone.
God's word says that " He knew us before the foundation of the earth". BEFORE!!!! Where were we, and when? The great mystery of God! Still searching, but one day He will answer All our MANY questions.
Where do you see Paul or John or Peter having a guardian angel at, what verse? If you dont see them have one why oh why would you then listen to people teach you that you have one?.... dont be decieved
How many angels are there? Trillions. So yes I think that we do have a guardian angel or at least an angel that reports back to God on our behalf. And I don't mean that anything we pray goes through the angel I just mean I think that they are with us. Sometimes maybe we get a sense of something that we should or shouldn't do and maybe it's the angel leading the way who knows
WizzardOfPaws the Holy Spirit , within a Believer in Christ, guides us. We don’t need an angel for guidance. An angel may be sent to intervene and help us. Angels are impartial, so they help any one to whom they are sent. A guardian angel implies a personal connection. There is none.
This message came while I was drying off after taking a shower on Saturday April 6, 2019 at around 3:30 in the afternoon (this might not be exactly word for word, but it's close). Here's what came: "The reason so many Christians are flocking to these false teachers and false prophets and other assorted teachers and preachers on UA-cam is because they're hungry spiritually. And because what the teachers and prophets are teaching is devoid of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, their teachings are empty spiritually, so that when people listen to them it gives them a full feeling for a moment, but then not long afterward they're hungry again, so they run back for another feed. And this goes on and on. And they think that what they're doing is something good for themselves spiritually, when in fact the opposite is the truth." This in turn reminded me of something the Lord told my old mentor nearly thirty years ago, which was that the reason so many Christians are moving from church to church is because the sheep are hungry and can't find food. I'm pretty sure the Lord told him that back in the late 80's. Just now I had a remembrance of this verse of scripture in which the Lord told the prophet Jeremiah: "My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace." (Jeremiah 50:6, King James Version). Back during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit the Lord gave a prophecy in which he said that when the outpouring ended that the enemy was poised to retaliate against the outpouring by raising up the biggest onslaught of religious activity in the history of the Lord's Church (e.g. the UA-cam religionists). He said therefore that what he wanted for Christians was for them not to be doing anything religion-wise, but to stay home and learn to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to them, and to develop a personal relationship with him in the quietness at home. He said that meant no going to church, no going to conferences, no running after teachers, and no getting involved in any religious 'good works' agendas. There were several verses of scripture that accompanied the prophecy, which are these: "For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved: in in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not." (Isaiah 30:15, King James Version). "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10). "And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you." (1 Thessalonians 4:11). "Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." (Hebrews 4:11). Back in June of 1995 I heard one of the Christian prophets speak this message, and toward the end of it he reemphasized that the Lord wanted for his people to forego doing anything religion-wise, and to stay home and develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit in the quietness at home. I think the reason he was so emphatic about it was because he knew that the Lord regarded it as a very important move against the coming religious onslaught. There are a couple of other verses of scripture that support this message, and which have to do with identifying the false teachers and false prophets who are parasites on the body of Christ, which are these: "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain." (James 1:26). "These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (1 John 2:26-27). I think it's worth mentioning that the Apostle James was one of the Lord's younger brothers and was regarded as having the preeminent authority among the Apostles, also that the Apostle John was the Lord's best friend. In the above verse the Apostle John plainly states that Christians who have the anointing of the Holy Spirit don't need teachers, yet most Christians ignore it and go ahead and heap to themselves teachers anyway (per 2 Tim. 4:3-4), mostly because they're lazy spiritually and want for someone else to do for them what they should be doing for themselves. It's really very sad. Furthermore, not only do these presumptuous teachers and so-called 'prophets' not bridle their tongues, they do the opposite and allow themselves to be used as mouthpieces by religious spirits who drive them and drive them to never shut up. And by allowing themselves to be used that way by the demons they become parasites who end up leeching on the body of Christ, and are largely responsible for the current spiritual stagnation of the body of Christ, especially in America (you can tell by reading the comments people post throwing roses at the false teachers and false prophets that they are devoid of spiritual discernment). These teachers, preachers, and so-called 'prophets' on UA-cam exemplify King Solomon's statement that a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. (Eccl. 5:3), as well as his statement: "The horseleach has two daughters crying, give give." (Proverbs 30:15), ("Donate, donate, donate, donate, donate," etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum). They should all shut up and go get real jobs like normal people do (if they had the anointing of the Holy Spirit to have genuine love in their hearts for their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that's exactly what they'd do). I think it would be appropriate to close with this famous quote by Carl Sandburg: "I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth, and never cherishes any memory except the face of the woman on the American silver dollar."
@S S ~ Jesus worked as a carpenter. As for Buddha being a legitimate voice, Jesus said that all who came before him were thieves and robbers. Sandburg's statement has nothing to do with having a career or the economy. You just don't get it, and I'm not going to try to explain it to you. If you're really interested in knowing what's going on go back and read my comment again, but this time read it slower.
You are so right about false and empty teaching Jim Yost.I have resorted to online teaching where I found a few good Pastors in Calvary Chapel However ...The LORD also said not to forsake the gathering of yourselves together. I don't think its because we need religion...i'm with you there...but these are the last days and I think we need to know who our friends are and be supportive to each other until the LORD comes for us. Times are going to get really tough for Christians very soon. Blessings and Christian love from Norfolk UK. Gilly wife of Mark
@@markmooney5662 ~ Dear Gilly, I agree that Christians are going to face really tough times very soon, and I think the religious spirits are using the false teachers and false prophets to make sure they're totally unprepared for it. I agree also that we need to know who our friends are and to be supportive of each other until the Lord comes for us, which I don't think is going to be anytime soon because there are too many things that have to happen first which are foretold in scripture, one of which is the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit which is foretold in Joel 2:23, Hosea 6:3, Matt. 24:14, and Rev. 14:14-16 (King James Version), which I think will trigger the end-time persecution of Christians (per Daniel 11:33, Matt. 24:9, Matt. 24:21-22, Rev. 6:9-11, and Rev. 13:7), which in turn will be followed by the falling away the Apostle Paul foresaw would happen in the end times which he wrote about in 2 Thess. 2:3, which will be followed by the appearance of Antichrist the man (who will be known as 'The Great Savior'). Those are my thoughts about the upcoming future events. As for not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together which you mentioned, at the time the Apostle Paul wrote that verse (Heb. 10:25) the churches were being led by five-fold ministry teams which opened the way for the Holy Spirit to move freely in their midst so that the Lord's Church was being strengthened and built up. In case you don't already know, a five-fold ministry team is made up of a prophet, who is supported and overseen by an apostle, and who is assisted by an evangelist, a pastor, and a teacher (per 1 Cor. 12:28 and Ephesians 4:11). But in this day and time the churches have been hijacked by religious spirits working through the top-down-control priestclass, which is a demonic system that is designed by the kingdom of darkness to subdue Christians and to control them (besides being the spirit of idolatry, the Spirit of Antichrist [i.e. counterfeit Christ] is also the spirit of top-down-control, but that's another subject). So, do you think the Lord would have us attending services at the system churches and be exposed to that? I don't think so. Anyway, I'm really glad to see that you are able to discern the true from the false, which seems unusual in this day and time, which can be seen by the comments being posted by so many Christians who are following the false teachers and false prophets and who post comments lauding them to the skies and throwing roses at them (and at each other). It's really very sad.
Just listened to Pastor Greg's message on Angels...Do Christians have Guardian Angels? I believe we do. Pastor Greg spoke about how they may appear to us in Human form. I also believe this to be true since I personally experienced this in 1980. Oh really....you claim to have had a experience with an Angel in human form. YES. If I were guessing I am not the only person on this planet who has experienced this as well. Think about it. If you were to look at your life you may discover you have had an experience with an Angel in human form as well. Sincerely..Mike Flanagan
free will? we are never forced to do anything? Satan rebelled by his own free will, I suppose God in his infinite wisdom and knowing the end from the beginning took all of this into account already. Also we get to know or experience what it is like to live a life where God isn't in the center of it so when he returns again we will never want him to leave again.
How can we say that Angels are Men . If its because of their names , surely the Angels had their names before God created MAN . Angels are a seperate entity , God created Man he created them male and female , therefore men and women are Man . Angels are Angels .Peace and Love to all .
I’m not a Christian stuck in the 1800’s but is this a stage or pulpit with all the darkness and not knowing you are really in a church. So casual and not indication it is God’s house as you could be giving this message anywhere to many ministries like this. Sorry lost some reverence here.
Seeking God is more important than what you are wearing. Come as you are. God just wants you to come to Him. I'm a 50s baby I understand traditionally we wore our best to church and respectfully. That was our choice. In poor countries they don't have the best and cleanest clothes but they go. Pastor Greg has his own way of preaching, he has a sense of humor but still he understands God word and present it well. Knowing God's word is more important than our outside. As long as we are not obscene in any way. Make sense?
Angels are made from humans so there are women angels. The way you speak makes it sound like women are not good enough to be anything in hevean or even be there.
Angels are not made from humans. Angels and humans are two different created beings. Humans do not become angels and angels do not become human. That is a common misconception, but the Bible is clear about it.
@@peterpiper47 why don't you check out off the left eye videos on angels. Might give you some new information and something to think about. It has helped me a lot in my life where as this other stuff is no help at all.
@strongly mediocre then what do you think happens to people when they die? Do we just stand around learning to play a harp and how to mow our clouds? Angels can't help us unless they were once humans like us. So yeah angels in training isn't just a saying. As for peabrains, well all I can say is open mind for a different view.

Yes we have angelic protection and assigned guarding our lives for GOD,I have over 5 .
How do you know there are 5 different angels ?
Thanks for the responses I am now bringing my children to jesus
The amazing amazing awesome event its just as Steven before he went to be with the Lord and just as we are taken by the angels to heaven Jesus himself opens the heavens he is watching as we are takened up to be with him... Hallelujah praise God almighty
Praise God for Pastor Greg Laurie and his Harvest ministry.Glory too God in the highest Amen!
Hello Pastor Laurie, so thankful that your preaching and teaching about Holy Angel's and Jesus and Daniel. This was really beautiful and reassuring. Thankyou for sharing your faith. GOD bless. 🙏🦋
My best friends husband passed way before Christmas. When he passed at the hospital, there daughter who is mentally challenged got excited because she saw the Angel's taking daddy up through the roof.
I believe your own.some times I wish I was mental because they are blessed by God in ways beyond areas of are under standing.
I believe her because God uses all types of people for the good of his Kingdom. We must not be of this world but that of God’s Kingdom.
I fully understand. They see a world we dont see. Makes perfect sense. Thats wonderful!

I ignored him until he threatened to hit me. Sometimes I’m crazy, but that was my line in the sand. I turned around in the middle of the street and told him to just try. Before he could get out of the car, those angels revealed their glorified selves. The light was so bright it lit up the night. That guy was so scared he couldn’t get away fast enough!
Karen Dobrowolski and your psychiatrist’s blame is.....????
Patti Hawks I’m sorry, I’m afraid I don’t know what to ‘blame’ a psychiatrist for? If you don’t believe my stories, that’s your prerogative. But, you’ll find in life opinions are like herpes. You may have them, but there’s never a need to share them.
My Menagerie ! I believe you. Praise God.
Praise the Lord! I believe
did you have your tablet on that day?
Thank you Pastor Greg.
Loved the prayer in the begin on opening our eyes. God is so amazing. Thanks pastor Greg.
Amen.😃
If God was condemned then heart condemned is heart envied in heart! Daniel didn't know
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Psalms 91:11-12 NKJV
But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
Hebrews 1:13-14 NKJV
Thank-you and Maranatha!
one of your best messages thank you
Thank you so much for this message. I am very blessed. May the Lord continue to bless and anoint you. You have explained God’s word easy to understand. Praise the Lord for that.
TY Greg your information is always so wonderful to hear.
Beautiful message pastor!!
Body, soul and spirit with connection in prayer in spirit and truth.
I had an Angel encounter and SHE spoke to me .
I was going to say this same thing. I went out to eat with a group of friends last year. My friend was talking about this sweet old man that he had never met before coming up to him and sharing Christian books for him to read to educate himself to help others. My friend’s mom then said that that was an angel. I then said I’ve met an angel before too! I was out of town for business/ministry and it was my son’s birthday. I cried through the whole day off and on. This woman that I had never met before came up to me, kissed me on the forehead and said God bless you. The second that I finished telling that story, our server came up to the table. Her name was Angel.
Praying 🙏. When I was 13/14 in 1970/1971, my sister used to take me to THE TENT ⛺️ in Costa Mesa in her 56 Chevy. We were there. Now my grandkids listen to your sermons everyday on the way to school. Chuck was awesome. You SOUND AND LOOK, just like his SON. MARANATHA. THANK YOU! It’s been a glorious journey in Jesus!
How are you doing
Thank you Jesus Christ for gifts 🎁 of teaching your men of god to speak on the behalf of your perfect will for your ppl ...
Amen, Amen!!!
Preach 🙏🏼
I believe adults do have guardian angels. On June 7th 2020 we were at my sisters house visiting and it was a new house to us. My wife had to go to the bathroom and didn’t know where it was so my sister told her it was over there and pointed to the general location. My wife went over and opened the door she thought was the door to the bathroom and stepped in to turn on the light and in an instant she was at the bottom of the basement steps. She was expecting there to be floor but to her surprise there was no floor but 13 steps down to the basement. We all went to her rescue and miraculously she was able to stand up and then walk up the steps. I believe with all my heart that she was protected by God and perhaps he had deployed an angel to soften her fall as she fell backwards headfirst down the steps. She was banged up and had a road to recovery of aches and pains and she did fracture her L2 Vertebrae but she could easily have been killed, paralyzed, or broken leg, hip or wrist but none of that happened....praise be to God! She is 80 years old and God has spared her life because he isn’t done with her yet on this earth to serve Him which she does so beautifully!
I don't mind angels always appearing as males. I love a man coming to the rescue.
Lol
THAT IS TRUE. MEN.
love u all
Ty
Imagine be escorted by angels. That’s cool as heck
Evil was a degree of rejoice
Yes we do
Well i truly hope i have one or two angels 😇
Pastor Laurie, you said in this sermon God will never give you more than you can handle. That's not at all true! Nowhere in the bible does it say that! It means God will be with you and get you through what ever your facing but not independently of yourself.
Psalms 46:10
Be still and know that I am God!
God bless you pastor!
It absolutely does say that in the Bible !!
Jesus taught that. Thank God he doesn’t!! God always takes care of his own!!
Amen
He realized it
God tells us to follow the laws unless it goes against God's laws.
many follew the ways o da world and depend on fauls hope
I was watching this and it touched me to ask pastor Greg did you obey the unGodly law of not holding church during the quarantine? You said you would obey the laws of God than man
Daniel was reafflicted! Hate evil.
Angels were male during Bible times because of the male dominated culture.
A female angel would have been totally ignored.
I’ve had several encounters over the decades all male except one here in Waco.
Her name is Miriam and she encouraged me one Sunday in our crowded lobby. Asked if she was a greeter and she just said she hung out by the north entrances.
I asked the head of that department about her and she said that we don’t have a Miriam as a greeter.
I said you do now.
God bless y’all.
Pastor Greg I wonder if angels are instructed by God to appear as humans to people as to not overwhelm us, when he wants to let us know something.
Absolutely
Jill Comfort The Lord doesn’t tempt us, but we are tested.
Jill Comfort wow. That is an awesome experience. Once when I was eating at a white castles I saw a guy hitch hiking near an overpass and I bought a meal and took it over to him and he really appreciated it. As i was walking away he said to me; “can I pray for you ?”’ And he said a prayer to me. And that’s the last time I saw him.
@Jill Comfort If God has sent an angel it is for specific God purpose. What you saw was no angel. From what you discribe, not how poor, but the kind of conversation.
Demons do appear as human just to decieve AND cause ppl to get their eyes on the supernatural experiences. Just love and study the Word of God and grow in your love, trusting God with all that concerns you.
Yes! Last year, I WAS GOING TO WENDYS TO GET CHEESEBURGERS. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TOI GET THERE , I SAW A MAN HOLDING A SIGN THAT SAID IM HUNGRY. ALL THE CARS WERE JUST PASSING BY WITH NO SYMPATHY. I DROVE TO WENDYS N GOT HIM CHEESEBURGERS. I ASK HIM IF I COULD GET HIM ANYTHING ELSE, HE SAID NO. AS I WAS PULLING AWAY IOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. HE WAS EATING THE BURGER , I looked again in a second he disappeared. YES! ANGELS ARE AROUND US.
we are saved by grace! we are filled with the Holy Spirit. why then would we need a guardian angel? 🙏🏼
Idk
But happy to have one
credit where credit is due, Greg is fumbling through this message but it doesn't faze him and it doesn't take away from the message.
Amazing message but also what was that c.s. Lewis quote??
NO FEMALE DEMONS EITHER!! 😊
Demons are not male or female angels are not male or
Pastor Greg is there any truth in the 3 days of darkness. It scares me to death.
you talking in revelation? God already did a similar thing in Egypt before the exodus demonstrating his supremacy over the Egyptian god's since one of the god's the Egyptians worshiped was the sun god. It was a demonstration of his sovereignty over all man made gods. I don't imagine god would want you to be scared, I imagine he would give you the necessary comfort and strength to help you in every situation in life because he cares about us.
Glenda Byrd no where in the bible is this taught so dont fear such a thing.... but evil times are coming
@Jill Comfort I understand that the Catholics are teaching to lock yourself up so the demons can't find you. Ridiculous to think that demons can't find you in the dark when they are OF the darkness. They are spirits so locked doors won't keep them out either. Whoever has the Holy Spirit is sealed and need not be afraid.
Don't be afraid you have God spirit living within you, that's only if you are born again and Believe Jesus is your Lord and Savior and died on the cross for all of our sins. If so you are never alone.
@Jill Comfort I heard all this in the eighties at Calvary Baptist Church too.... I just wonder if we were in the same place.
Aren't we asleep till the lord raises us? Or do we immediately go to Heaven? I'm a little confused.
"To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord". I have many questions too. 63 and still searching for some answers.
God's word says that " He knew us before the foundation of the earth". BEFORE!!!! Where were we, and when? The great mystery of God! Still searching, but one day He will answer All our MANY questions.
Koko had kittys bc she could not have her own baby💞
Where do you see Paul or John or Peter having a guardian angel at, what verse? If you dont see them have one why oh why would you then listen to people teach you that you have one?.... dont be decieved
See Psalm 91:11-12. His message is not deceiving.

How many angels are there? Trillions. So yes I think that we do have a guardian angel or at least an angel that reports back to God on our behalf. And I don't mean that anything we pray goes through the angel I just mean I think that they are with us. Sometimes maybe we get a sense of something that we should or shouldn't do and maybe it's the angel leading the way who knows
WizzardOfPaws the Holy Spirit , within a Believer in Christ, guides us. We don’t need an angel for guidance. An angel may be sent to intervene and help us. Angels are impartial, so they help any one to whom they are sent. A guardian angel implies a personal connection. There is none.
He was super sad that Daniel
This message came while I was drying off after taking a shower on Saturday April 6, 2019 at around 3:30 in the afternoon (this might not be exactly word for word, but it's close). Here's what came:
"The reason so many Christians are flocking to these false teachers and false prophets and other assorted teachers and preachers on UA-cam is because they're hungry spiritually. And because what the teachers and prophets are teaching is devoid of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, their teachings are empty spiritually, so that when people listen to them it gives them a full feeling for a moment, but then not long afterward they're hungry again, so they run back for another feed. And this goes on and on. And they think that what they're doing is something good for themselves spiritually, when in fact the opposite is the truth."
This in turn reminded me of something the Lord told my old mentor nearly thirty years ago, which was that the reason so many Christians are moving from church to church is because the sheep are hungry and can't find food. I'm pretty sure the Lord told him that back in the late 80's. Just now I had a remembrance of this verse of scripture in which the Lord told the prophet Jeremiah:
"My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace." (Jeremiah 50:6, King James Version).
Back during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit the Lord gave a prophecy in which he said that when the outpouring ended that the enemy was poised to retaliate against the outpouring by raising up the biggest onslaught of religious activity in the history of the Lord's Church (e.g. the UA-cam religionists).
He said therefore that what he wanted for Christians was for them not to be doing anything religion-wise, but to stay home and learn to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to them, and to develop a personal relationship with him in the quietness at home. He said that meant no going to church, no going to conferences, no running after teachers, and no getting involved in any religious 'good works' agendas. There were several verses of scripture that accompanied the prophecy, which are these:
"For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved: in in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not." (Isaiah 30:15, King James Version).
"Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10).
"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you." (1 Thessalonians 4:11).
"Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." (Hebrews 4:11).
Back in June of 1995 I heard one of the Christian prophets speak this message, and toward the end of it he reemphasized that the Lord wanted for his people to forego doing anything religion-wise, and to stay home and develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit in the quietness at home. I think the reason he was so emphatic about it was because he knew that the Lord regarded it as a very important move against the coming religious onslaught.
There are a couple of other verses of scripture that support this message, and which have to do with identifying the false teachers and false prophets who are parasites on the body of Christ, which are these:
"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain." (James 1:26).
"These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." (1 John 2:26-27).
I think it's worth mentioning that the Apostle James was one of the Lord's younger brothers and was regarded as having the preeminent authority among the Apostles, also that the Apostle John was the Lord's best friend.
In the above verse the Apostle John plainly states that Christians who have the anointing of the Holy Spirit don't need teachers, yet most Christians ignore it and go ahead and heap to themselves teachers anyway (per 2 Tim. 4:3-4), mostly because they're lazy spiritually and want for someone else to do for them what they should be doing for themselves. It's really very sad.
Furthermore, not only do these presumptuous teachers and so-called 'prophets' not bridle their tongues, they do the opposite and allow themselves to be used as mouthpieces by religious spirits who drive them and drive them to never shut up. And by allowing themselves to be used that way by the demons they become parasites who end up leeching on the body of Christ, and are largely responsible for the current spiritual stagnation of the body of Christ, especially in America (you can tell by reading the comments people post throwing roses at the false teachers and false prophets that they are devoid of spiritual discernment).
These teachers, preachers, and so-called 'prophets' on UA-cam exemplify King Solomon's statement that a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. (Eccl. 5:3), as well as his statement: "The horseleach has two daughters crying, give give." (Proverbs 30:15), ("Donate, donate, donate, donate, donate," etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum). They should all shut up and go get real jobs like normal people do (if they had the anointing of the Holy Spirit to have genuine love in their hearts for their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ that's exactly what they'd do).
I think it would be appropriate to close with this famous quote by Carl Sandburg:
"I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth, and never cherishes any memory except the face of the woman on the American silver dollar."
@S S ~ Jesus worked as a carpenter. As for Buddha being a legitimate voice, Jesus said that all who came before him were thieves and robbers. Sandburg's statement has nothing to do with having a career or the economy. You just don't get it, and I'm not going to try to explain it to you. If you're really interested in knowing what's going on go back and read my comment again, but this time read it slower.
You are so right about false and empty teaching Jim Yost.I have resorted to online teaching where I found a few good Pastors in Calvary Chapel
However ...The LORD also said not to forsake the gathering of yourselves together. I don't think its because we need religion...i'm with you there...but these are the last days and I think we need to know who our friends are and be supportive to each other until the LORD comes for us.
Times are going to get really tough for Christians very soon.
Blessings and Christian love from Norfolk UK.
Gilly wife of Mark
@@markmooney5662 ~ Dear Gilly, I agree that Christians are going to face really tough times very soon, and I think the religious spirits are using the false teachers and false prophets to make sure they're totally unprepared for it. I agree also that we need to know who our friends are and to be supportive of each other until the Lord comes for us, which I don't think is going to be anytime soon because there are too many things that have to happen first which are foretold in scripture, one of which is the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit which is foretold in Joel 2:23, Hosea 6:3, Matt. 24:14, and Rev. 14:14-16 (King James Version), which I think will trigger the end-time persecution of Christians (per Daniel 11:33, Matt. 24:9, Matt. 24:21-22, Rev. 6:9-11, and Rev. 13:7), which in turn will be followed by the falling away the Apostle Paul foresaw would happen in the end times which he wrote about in 2 Thess. 2:3, which will be followed by the appearance of Antichrist the man (who will be known as 'The Great Savior'). Those are my thoughts about the upcoming future events.
As for not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together which you mentioned, at the time the Apostle Paul wrote that verse (Heb. 10:25) the churches were being led by five-fold ministry teams which opened the way for the Holy Spirit to move freely in their midst so that the Lord's Church was being strengthened and built up. In case you don't already know, a five-fold ministry team is made up of a prophet, who is supported and overseen by an apostle, and who is assisted by an evangelist, a pastor, and a teacher (per 1 Cor. 12:28 and Ephesians 4:11). But in this day and time the churches have been hijacked by religious spirits working through the top-down-control priestclass, which is a demonic system that is designed by the kingdom of darkness to subdue Christians and to control them (besides being the spirit of idolatry, the Spirit of Antichrist [i.e. counterfeit Christ] is also the spirit of top-down-control, but that's another subject). So, do you think the Lord would have us attending services at the system churches and be exposed to that? I don't think so.
Anyway, I'm really glad to see that you are able to discern the true from the false, which seems unusual in this day and time, which can be seen by the comments being posted by so many Christians who are following the false teachers and false prophets and who post comments lauding them to the skies and throwing roses at them (and at each other). It's really very sad.
Just listened to Pastor Greg's message on Angels...Do Christians have Guardian Angels? I believe we do. Pastor Greg spoke about how they may appear to us in Human form. I also believe this to be true since I personally experienced this in 1980. Oh really....you claim to have had a experience with an Angel in human form. YES. If I were guessing I am not the only person on this planet who has experienced this as well. Think about it. If you were to look at your life you may discover you have had an experience with an Angel in human form as well. Sincerely..Mike Flanagan
@@mikeflanagan6948
That's awesome
But why was there a rebellion in heaven?
free will? we are never forced to do anything? Satan rebelled by his own free will, I suppose God in his infinite wisdom and knowing the end from the beginning took all of this into account already. Also we get to know or experience what it is like to live a life where God isn't in the center of it so when he returns again we will never want him to leave again.
BECAUSE LUCIFER WANTED TO TAKE GODS PLACE. GOD BANNED HIM FROM HEAVEN. BUT HE SHOWS UP SOMETIMES.
Where is scripture does it say angels escort a Christian upon death to Heaven, way I read it when Jesus returns the dead in Christ rise first....
How can we say that Angels are Men . If its because of their names , surely the Angels had their names before God created MAN . Angels are a seperate entity , God created Man he created them male and female , therefore men and women are Man . Angels are Angels .Peace and Love to all .
There are NO woman angels or cute little baby ones either but that's okay hope this doent offend you
I’m not a Christian stuck in the 1800’s but is this a stage or pulpit with all the darkness and not knowing you are really in a church. So casual and not indication it is God’s house as you could be giving this message anywhere to many ministries like this. Sorry lost some reverence here.
Seeking God is more important than what you are wearing. Come as you are. God just wants you to come to Him. I'm a 50s baby I understand traditionally we wore our best to church and respectfully.
That was our choice. In poor countries they don't have the best and cleanest clothes but they go.
Pastor Greg has his own way of preaching, he has a sense of humor but still he understands God word and present it well. Knowing God's word is more important than our outside. As long as we are not obscene in any way. Make sense?
Demons are not fallen angels...Demons are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim that died in the Genesis flood. Js
Then where did the 1/3 angels go that followed devil that got kicked out if heaven?
Demons afflicted the Pharaoh! He was a demon.
Angels are made from humans so there are women angels. The way you speak makes it sound like women are not good enough to be anything in hevean or even be there.
Angels are not made from humans. Angels and humans are two different created beings. Humans do not become angels and angels do not become human. That is a common misconception, but the Bible is clear about it.
@@graftme3168 Yes!! Exactly!
Jay Norris I don’t know where you heard that, but there is no truth in your statement.
@@peterpiper47 why don't you check out off the left eye videos on angels. Might give you some new information and something to think about. It has helped me a lot in my life where as this other stuff is no help at all.
@strongly mediocre then what do you think happens to people when they die? Do we just stand around learning to play a harp and how to mow our clouds? Angels can't help us unless they were once humans like us. So yeah angels in training isn't just a saying. As for peabrains, well all I can say is open mind for a different view.
Watch exposing false teaching with this guy featured! Careful who we listen to No I did not watch this soon as I saw him I turned it off! 🙏
the devil is an Angel
But not a good one!
a fallen angel- huge difference
The only difference is Jesus sacrificed his self and took the keys of death from that angel and yes he was cast out
His original name was Lucifer the great and morning Star
If Satan repented would the father except

Amen
