My Book on Word of Faith Apologetics - www.amazon.com/Defending-Fait...
Very nicely put. I think the greatest threat to Christendom at times is within Christendom. There is such a lack of good teaching and faith. One thing the Lord has shown me over many decades.
I, myself make no claims that I understand the full Word of God. I don’t fully understand the Godhead/Trinity, I don’t fully understand how we can walk in victory because of what Jesus did upon the cross. I don’t fully understand that by His stripes we are healed or all of His promises towards us.
I don’t fully understand how the power of God works through a believer when they lay hands on the sick. I don’t fully understand how the devil must flee when we resist him and I don’t fully understand how if a believer picks up anything deadly it will by no means harm him.
I don’t have to fully understand any of it, because my human mind was never designed to. My intellect was not designed to. People like to tare down and break into segments the Word of God. They think that if they can understand or learn Hebrew or Greek or even both, they will understand it fully. They try to reason the Word out with their human wisdom, their so-called intellect. Our intellect is inferior to God's ways.
This is the very purpose of faith. Our reasoning says we must be able to dissect the information from God's Word and find the answers. Whereas our faith is like a switch, it is either on or off. There is no reasoning with faith. If the Word of God says something is so, then it is. No questions asked, no debating, no investigating whether or not it is possible. If the Word says something is so, then it is, this is faith switched on. Having to reason the Word with our intellect is faith switched off.
Some will say, well they were not given us much faith as someone else. That isn’t true. They may think that or feel that only because they haven’t been feeding their inner man so their faith is weak. Without reading the promises of God on a regular basis, our inner-man our spirit will not grow strong. If our spirit does not grow strong, then our faith becomes weak and our flesh takes over.
There is a constant battle fort within us for control of our thinking. Our flesh and our spirit battle it out not sometimes but every minute of every hour the war rages on it is never relenting. We may think because we spent so much time in the Word yesterday that we can cruise or do other important things today. It won’t matter because we did so much in the Word yesterday, wrong, the battle never ceases, our guys, which comprises of our spirit and faith need a constant supply chain of backup.
What is their backup? The Word of God, the promises of who you are in Christ, the confessions of what God has said we are what He has given us and what we are to do with those promises. Today's faith, today's feeding of the Word, will not keep us tomorrow. We need each day to start afresh and exercise our faith today for today. So don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
There are no holidays we don’t have that luxury. We must keep our supply chains up and that entails reading and listening to the Word of God every day, claiming the promises of God and taking by faith the Word of God. I don’t have to understand the Word, if it says I am or I can or I have then it is so. I have turned my faith switch to on and my intellect off when it comes to the promises of God.
Rod, I love the way you are living your faith walk. You remind me of something that is lacking greatly in Christianity today, Someone who acts on the promises of God and not what the world teaches. Bless you, Rod, in Jesus' name.
Thank you for this informative video. I appreciate it.
You summed it up well.
Thank you
Succinct, to the point and informative. If only other UA-cam persons knew the art of brevity. Too many people throw out babies with the bathwater. I don't agree with everything but videos like yours are needed.
Good info, thanks for doing the leg work
Thank you Brother Rod. I appreciate you
Thanks for sharing another insightful video 😁👍
Thank you for showing what the new agers believe and do. Born again Spirit filled believers who confess and believe God’s word and trust God by the Holy Spirit to bring his word to pass in their lives should not be compared to those in the new age movement and what they believe and do. For those who have listened to this and now know the truth if you continue to say these are the same thing God will judge, because you know the truth and say otherwise. That is what the Pharisees of Jesus day did, and you know what Jesus said about them and pronounced upon them.
Melissa Dougherty would do well to listen to this video. Your rebuttals of her rebuttals was as usual very well done. BTW I always wonder those that pick on woman teachers like Joyce Meyers and Beth Moore seem to give a pass to people like Melissa Dougherty.
Because they have itchy ears. They want to hear things which they like and Melissa is helping People satisfy their itchy ears. That's my thoughts on this.
@@rickylimbu3668 I agree with that.YT is where itchy ears go to rot off from doctrinal induced atrophy.
you said introduction. does that mean there will be more. i would also love to hear your ideas on atheists and agnostics. great video. great information.
I used to believe in atheists. Now I believe they're ALL just disgruntled agnostics. Its just a lot more direct to call them atheists. Seems to get their attention more than trying to explain to them all the reasons theyre really agnostics.
Could you please clarify on the yoga thing? As Christians, what should constitute as a godly approach to exercising and keeping our bodies fit, especially knowing that our body is the temple of God?
Go to the gym. Exercise. Eat healthy.
For one, don't use anything that is derived from other religions. Eat right, exercise, stretch, but stretching doesn't mean yoga.
Jesus did a lot of walking so he did keep his physical body in shape , i practiced meditation for a few years and found myself closer to the LORD ,,
@@kamon830 meditation in the Christian sense is good. We are called the meditate. But Christian meditation means to ponder or ruminate on God's word.
Satanic meditation is what yoga and other eastern philosophies practice and theirs is evil and wrong because it involves emptying their minds of everything. Quite literally the opposite of Christian meditation.
Which one did you do?
I view the yoga exercise thing the same way I view the early church problem with eating meats sacrificed to idols. When Im doing yoga stretches Im not thinking about chakras, Im not meditating on Vishnu, Im not doing any of that. Im simply thinking 'Dear God when will this be over?' Its YOUR body. Your ability to move, to be, to do? That all comes from God. Your body is blessed. It is sanctified. If doing yoga stretches help you? Do them. Worship is not a construct of what you do with your body. It is the MOTIVE. Its WHY you're doing it. If you're doing it to commune with ancient gods and to activate mystical energy? Ya, you're sinning. If you're doing it for exercise purposes and because it helps you feel better? You're not. Its that simple.
It happens to people who don't read there Bible who don't do deep study of the word of God who refuse to take heed to the word of God people are influence by the crowd not the word of God if they would just pay attention to to pastor holy Bible they won't get caught but when you reject what is written you Fall into hole

This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every directions...
It looks like something is going in with your lighting?
Yeah I don't know what happened there. Every once in awhile I have weird things happening with my camera or the editing or the processor or something. Still figuring all this out.
God loves y’all
Jesus Christ saves
Give Him a chance
scared of advaita vedanta philosophy 🤣
Well, here's another UA-camr I'm moving from. Once I don't get a response in the comments. See ya!
Did you ask a question?
Come on dont be so sensitive. Toughen up a bit
He hasn't commented on some of my comments... so what? Must I get upset and unsub him? Come on brother don't get offended.
I’m a critic of his content as I see the Charismatic Movement as something contrary to scripture. Still, every time I criticize his content, he always replies we might disagree on what we believe, but he doesn’t shy away from defending or answering questions on this channel.
@@RichH1689 "as I see the Charismatic Movement as something contrary to scripture" *I agree with that. The principles of Faith aren't supposed to be a Movement. Its supposed to be your life. I don't believe in movements either*
The bible is not inerrant or infallible....only love is inerrant and infallible....I'm a universalist....
