My next door neighbor an old Asian lady sits by my window to listen to this video when I put it on in the mornings so I put it super loud for her today an she was really enjoying it. She even fell asleep for a while-it was the cutest thing.
Paul - in love, there are only 2-kinds of people in the world. Those who love Jesus and the Body of Christ to an extent, and those who need to get a little better at loving Jesus and the Body of Christ. We all need to continue to grow in the love for God and our fellow man. Jesus - Help!
Wow! Unbelievable… I started listening to this song nine years ago long before I was even married or knew that I would be facing infertility. To think that God was such a good shepherd to have planted this faith in my heart to sustain me through the last five years of infertility is simply amazing! Thank you Jenn Johnson and thank you Bethel.
I bind up the spirit of confusion and anger, hate, and attack. You have NO PLACE on these comments! SATAN YOU ARE EXPOSED!! THE SPIRIT PREVAILS AND TRUMPHS EVERYTHING YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. I pray that peoples eyes may be opened to the beauty of this song and overlook the enemys tactics in trying to steer people away from the song and beauty of your majesty. In the name of Jesus, in the name of the great IAM. Amen.
Do you hear that? That's the sound of chains hitting the floor!! When the worship leader is released to worship in Spirit and truth so are those who listen. Love seeing what God does at Bethel!! ❤

Miracles , my Miracle other people's Miracles are coming through this song!!! We rebuke anyone or anything coming against Bethel Worship , satan & flesh you will not Prosper! In JESUS NAME!!!!!!
The first time I walked into a church as a unsaved adult, I was in daisy dukes. I wasnt convicted because I didn't know. God and ONLY God will change that.
When i first read the comments on here I instantly wanted to defend Jenn's attire and tell people to calm down but I waited and let God speak to my heart about the issue at hand, because I myself have been a worship leader and dealt with the same struggle. What God revealed to me was as a worship leader we're not meant to be distracting in anyway. Because Jenn's physical appearance is rather stunning and beautiful, her appearance alone can be a distraction .... so it might help to be a little more covered during worship as to not distract with bare skin. We are all visual beings and the devil will use anything he can to distract! So it might be more helpful for Jenn to present herself as Jesus did .... Jesus was very average in appearance as not to distract from His purpose! He never adorned Himself with jewelry or anything that stood out. As a worship leader, we are to blend into the stage as to not distract from Christ! Which is the whole point and purpose! I love Jenn! I think she's incredibly anointed, talented, beautiful, gifted and surrendered to God's will and purpose for her life! I don't think she intentionally wears these clothes to distract! I'm sure she believes this is a toned down version of herself! So spread love! If you feel she needs to change her attire ----->> PRAY FOR GOD to reveal that to her! Pray for God to enlighten her in this area. But don't judge her ...... judgement is the cause of a failing BELIEF SYSTEM. People turn from Christianity because people are so judgmental. Jesus showed LOVE and provided wisdom in a loving manner! If you serve Him --- follow His lead! That will serve a greater purpose and create a better outcome! ❤️
Thank you so much for this comment. I myself, being a female who has had my own battles with the issue of modesty, have considered this very situation & even struggled with my own judgmental thoughts on it. I could not agree with you more. Thanks for your godly, mercy-filled perspective. I don't feel that attacking someone is the answer here, but prayer is. I believe that as women of God, on or off the stage, we should aim for modesty (yes this is relative) but as women we are aware of what we are showing at all times so the question is what is our motive? Are we trying to draw attention to ourselves or to Christ in us? And accountability is important because we are all susceptible to falling into deception (the nature of deception is that we don't know we are deceived) I've asked my husband to be frank with me about my clothing- if its too low, too tight, or too high in his eyes for the public eye then I certainly don't want to wear it out! I can't stand the idea of drawing that type of attention. At times I have also struggled with the idea of facing a worship band while worshipping and feeling that there are some who have turned the music itself into idolatry- this is a whole other issue in itself but yet again, prayer & spreading awareness with love, not hatred like some others!
But people will find anything to tear someone down. They would find something that she says during praise and worship but it doesn't line up with the word of God or something else that is completely a stretch. The devil always goes after someone that is making an impact and if they can't get to them they'll send other people to tear them down. Jesus says come as you are. And she is modest because if I have seen people that come up there wearing super tight clothes and showing off their cleavage and still worshipping God on the stage.
I love it that she is beautiful and dresses beautifully and sings her heart out in praise to help us do the same. I was attracted to watch and praise along because of beauty in all areas. She enhances the worship for m by her own obvious love for our Lord God. I am grateful.
No she has a great body and just likes to show it off period she didnt accidentally put that on and keep adjusting her dress so her boobs don't pop out please overly obvious, unless clothes just magically jumped on her shes accountable for what she wears like all of us
who cares people are always going to have somthing to we still gotta love the hell out of them literally I think God for this beautiful woman of God who worships in spirit and in truth she helped me Take My Worship to another level I knew I wasn't the only one that did this and when I stumbled across her God moves on me so mightily bless your heart Jen
Idk why everyone is judging each other about their appearances but I know that I was blessed by this worship and I felt their sincerity of their worship
this woman of God is one of the end-times generals...she has a voice like a beast on the mic, I can see demons flying out of people when she opens her mouth. to God be praised!! keep it up Jen
Mr. Warren, one day we will stand before our Lord and give account of our lives in Christ and what we did with the gifts that He has given us. Do you not know that He knows the heart of each and everyone of us who proclaim that Jesus is our savior and those that don't. What will be the account of your life when He asks why you chose to sit in criticism of those who worship Him.
They are NOT worshiping God. They worship themselves, fame, attention, and money. They love the cameras, the stage, the lights, and all else that goes with idol worship.
Ted Warren Ive met many worship leaders and i found they are very down to earth and humble. Ive only met one person like that but he wasn't a very commited christian, but that doesn't mean that all worship leaders are looking for those things.
I saw a clip on the side saying "spontaneous Worship" and clicked on it. I have to say that I did not care too much for the style of spontaneous worship, however, Let everything that has breathe Praise the Lord! I did feel a sense of happiness seeing all the different worshipers in God's House. There are so many things we as christians do in church that are not written in the Bible. But I must say that culture and times change and this is why we see a shift in how church is conducted. As an old generation dies a new one takes over. Just think about how different church was for your parents or even grandparent compared to the church you grew up in. This does not mean that we can do as we please and disregard God's word and the Holy spirit. We must have standards that shape our foundation as believers in this lost world. Each church and each christian has a distinctive style about them, I believe this is why we as Christians are able to reach out to many different types of people. We are not to judge but to love on others because how can we reach the lost if all we do is judge?We are all individuals and there is nothing wrong with that. We must remember that by keeping Jesus at the center of our lives, we are the salt and light of the world. In terms of this woman's dress, I feel it is appropriate. I did not even judge her outfit until I scrolled down to read these comments. I looked at the video again, and took a close look at her outfit and thought "That looks like something I would wear if I were on vacation and were to spend time on the beach with family and friends." It is just a very casual outfit in my opinion. I also feel that IF the outfit (which was not skin tight), was an issue the husband or another leader of the church would have said something and not wanting to offend anyone, she would have probably changed. What is important here is not her dress but the fact that she was able to bring a group of worshippers together to give OUR GOD the highest praise and to get closer to our father! God Bless you all!!!
bottom line its called the last days . we are seeing the laodicean church become a reality now . the laodicean is a false church that serves Another jesus . this bethel and jculture is a religious cult bottom line
Ted Warren Hey Ted, I am curious what your belief system is. You reference and support the facebook page (bethel church and christianity). The page is run by baptist dispensationalists and you mentioned in a comment on this video that "God told you" to correct bethel. You support a baptist group that believes hearing God is not possible today because of the completion of the Bible as in 1 Cor 13:9-11. Your opinions are not logically consistent. It sounds like your mixing beliefs to fit what you feel is right which is just as bad as what your criticizing others for doing "living based on feelings". Give some background to your beliefs and positions so that people may actually consider hearing what you have to say.
this jculture bethel is satanic . nothing christian here at all . a comparison video would be (donna summer i feel love 1977 (hd and hq) utube . rock and roll naked exposed skin movement of the body in extesy . donna even has three choir girls in choir dresses . thats 1up for donna .
Jesus Christ. is Lord and judge who will judge the living and the dead. We are called to love and only to love and show the world how much God loves them.
We are also called to rebuke, reprove, and correct - 2 Tim 3:16. Or do you let your unsaved friends drive drunk so they can kill themselves and others? There is no love in being silent about this Bethel cult. It is dangerous to your walk with God.
So what is so wrong about Bethel church? What are they doing wrong that is so dangerous? Do you remember what Jesus said in Mark 9:38-40? Here it is: Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.” But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My Name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is on our side.
Edward Perez Bethel has numerous false signs and counterfeit wonders like "glory clouds" angel feathers, gold teeth, and much other ridiculous nonsense. They go to the graves of famous dead Christians to soak in their anointing! Is that what the apostle Paul told the churches to do? Bethel cult is absolutely disgusting filth.
Ted Warren I have never experienced feathers, gold or gold teeth or anything like that, but I don't judge the people it happens to. I have once gotten oil in my hands, not much but a little while I was praying. Anyway, God is sovereign and He can do what He wants, when He wants, even if they make no sense to us,
God is LOOKING at the HEART!! Not what's she is wearing... Everyone is DIFFERENT what she wears to Worship may not be what you wear and what you wear may not be what you wear!!
Jenn Johnson, you are beautiful and truly anointed! Thank you for sharing the beautiful music God had gifted you with. The world will try to tear you down but God is obviously on your side! Be blessed and may he give you all the armor you need to overcome every obstacle in your life.
I don't think that most people are "trying to tear her down" as u put it. It's not only concerning her. It's an overall thing. their should be more modesty at Bethel up there on stage with what and what shouldn't be allowed, esp. as a woman to present herself up there....but men as well. You should stop using spiritual words for something that really doesn't apply. the issue resonating here is modesty.
ellamae There is nothing wrong with what Jenn has done here. The people that worry about her should be more worried about their own relationship with God. Jenn happens to be an attractive woman and very talented there is no sin in that.
*Jesus said, “You have to separate the wheat from the chaff.” He is saying separate your spirit from your mind*. Separate the truth from the BS. All thoughts, feelings and emotions come from the mind, and they are not real unless you give them life. You suffer because of the mind, learning the real teachings of Jesus and the *unseen truth* in the bible, is the key to overcome the mind and free you spirit. Google *TruthContest read the Present*
I'm NOT trying to be legalistic, but somehow, I don't think Jesus would say to separate the truth from the BS...i.e. "Bullshit"...which is what "BS" stands for. Perhaps a better choice of wording is appropriate. from all the dung...garbage...untruth...lies...any one of those would work, I'm sure, and would get the same point across. Again, this is not to be legalistic, it just seems so unlike Jesus that he would us that slang.
CS Lewis tackles this a number of times in his writings. Feelings, thoughts and emotions are God given and legitimate in their place - and they are subjective reality for those experiencing them. Jesus meets us where we are and is gracious. True, the mind (along with the body and soul) must be subject to the spirit, but personally I would guard against the rather dogmatic view you are proposing. Each person must live - and be allowed to live - according to their own revelation of Christ. I also understood that God separating the wheat from the chaff alluded to separating His own from those who reject Him, initially in the context of those in Israel who, being religious, set themselves against Him, but ultimately for the whole of mankind.
Suffering is not caused by the mind. That is a Buddhist / Pythagorean teaching and completely opposite to the Bible. Followers of Jesus are called to be transformed by the renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2). For that to happen, we need to acknowledge the reality of the mind. And this transformation and renewal do not come without suffering; Jesus never promised non-suffering to His followers while our time on the Earth. (Heaven is a very different situation of course!)
daniel overwater ;) are love, joy and peace not emotions? And the first 3 parts to the fruit of the spirit? Emotions are much more important than most say. Even the garden of "Eden" means garden of pleasure. Our daddy in heaven wants us to be happy. Even when Paul was suffering, he talks about his joy. And Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before him. Amazing grace lol I just typed myself happy lol thanks for posting your thoughts
This song has gotten me through the worst time of my life and God restored me!!!!!!! Glory to Yahweh!! Jesus King of Kings Lord of Lords. 🙌🏾☁️❤️🔥👑🔥❤️☁️🙌🏾
Bethel Church blesses believers that want to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Psalm 100. Thank you for Spontaneous Worship and the freedom to Praise the Almighty God without worrying if someone thinks we are crazy. I would rather please God than please man any day.
For all those who criticize Jenn for her clothes instead of being open to what the Spirit can do in their lives, I will tell them something: A few years ago a friend of mine told me "the heaven would show us many surprises." At that time I could not understand, I was very young. Today I understand that God has the power to take to heaven to whom He considers. So keep alert to being one of them.
Beautiful and powerful expression of worship from our beloved sister. I think this is one of the best ever in the large worship paradigm. Come Jesus come!!
She sure has you fooled. She flows in getting attention. Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to STAND and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be SEEN by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward."
we all have different judgements and opinions. im not saying that you are wrong or right. im sure the truth will all be revealed to us by God in His perfect timing. if thats what you think then its okay. i dont judge you. lets just respect each others beliefs, judgements and opinions. God bless you.
well, good for you. but the thing is, you cannot force people to believe what you believe. it all comes down to free will. like what i have said, God will reveal the truth to us in His perfect timing so stop trying to do His job for Him.
Part 2 Transcript "I just saw us push back on what has been said: 'It Can't Be Done' I saw us push back, in the Spirit, with faith, and with hope. So in Jesus' Name we push back. And we say, Every Impossibility: you BOW, to the Name of Jesus. And we push back with faith, And we push back with hope Knowing a good Father holds us" "Let joy arise Cos our Hope is in You Let joy arise Cos our anchor is in You Let joy arise Cos our Hope is in You Let joy arise Cos we are anchored in You"
Keep worshipping The Lord dear sister! you shine with the Glory of God! Beautiful dress Jenn, i love your passion and dedication to God alone. you are an inspiration for those who really seek the presence of God, thank you for your love ! I love you in Christ!
I can't believe most of the comments are about her dress! Did you listen to the worship at all? See the people worship? If you knew Jenn, you wouldn't pick on her dress - she serves Jesus with all her heart!
Ted Warren I see where you're coming from. You have a judgmental and legalistic spirit. Your link below is fill of misinformation. I disagree with you but I wouldn't call you a wolf, deceiver or liar. If you name the name of Jesus as your Savior and Lord, then you are a brother. We have the same Dad. You can look up almost any Christian leader and get all kinds of people calling them heretics or worse. I know several people who have been to all three years of Bethel school and they are wonderful servants of the Lord. Bill's teaching changed me from a skeptical man to one who sees healing on a regular basis. If you think all healing is false, then I truly feel sorry for you. I'll share one story. I was going to garage sales when I talked to this man who had hurt his wrist 8 years in the past. It clicked whenever he moved it and was painful. I asked him if he prayed for it. He admitted he didn't know if God was real. I said I know Him personally and could I pray. He said OK and the Lord totally healed the clicking and pain right then and there. Now it's years later and his wrist is strong and pain free. This is one story among many (and thousands more through Bethel folks).
John Leonardson I believe 100% in the gift of healing and have been healed myself on many occasions. Do you want to give God ALL of the glory, or do you want to reserve some of the glory for Bethel? The person whose wrist was healed had NOTHING to do with Bethel. Bethel was not at that garage sale - you were and the Holy Spirit was. So what is Bethel? If 10 people from Bethel move to another city, it it still Bethel, or is a part of Bethel no longer there? So is Bethel the people or the location? The buildings? The school? Is this PLACE something special? Why did they name it? Do you see any named groups of Christians in the Bible? Does the apostle Paul tell any of the churches he writes to about any special move of God is a particular place? Don't you see how incredibly deceived you are by a man made cult? You REALLY need to wake up. PLEASE!
Ted Warren No glory goes to Bethel - where did you come up with that? It's all Jesus! That's what any good church teaches. It's reality. I'm not a Bethelite! I'm not part of any cult, nor is Bethel a cult either. You sound deceived as a man who claims he has the only pure doctrine and cuts down others who operate differently. So you're saying a church can't have a name? What nonsense!! You aren't familiar with Bethel - only the naysayers. I am part of a lively church here which has no connection to Bethel. I only said Bill's teaching set me free - not connecting me to anything, much less a cult. I don't pray in the name of Bethel or Bill - only in the name of Jesus. Besides how am I deceived? You don't know me. You don't know of my 34 years of prison ministry. You don't know my fruit, therefore you have no basis to judge me in any way. Just because I mentioned teaching helped me, you say I'm incredibly deceived. Wow, are you off base!
If you are watching this just to look at her than you're not here to praise God. Reflect on that plank in your own eye. We as Christians are called to NOT judge but to be judged by the Almighty God, creator of heaven and Earth. HE is the only one who should be questioning her attire. Praise with your heart, not with your eyes people. Let's love her as we are to love everyone, even our enemies.
She may as well be naked according to your view. Should we not judge what is moral and modest? Should we not judge decency? If everyone on the stage was stark naked, would you still reply with "don't judge".
We are to judge nothing. That is for God to decide. Thank you for the scripture, and while I open my "big fat mouth" I will pray for you Ted Warren . God Bless you.
Criticism is the seed of pride. To worship the Lord in spirit and truth, to be in awe of who he is, what he is, to allow the Spirit to move! Let's glorify Him, not criticize each other! Praise Jesus! Just wait, one day we will ALL be before Him. Be careful what you say.
Jesus called the Pharisees evil, hypocrites, vipers, and white washed tombs full of dead men's bones. Would you like to tell Jesus Himself to not criticize? So be careful what YOU say!
love spontaneous worship, pouring out the heart of God for his people and his people for Him. Spontaneous worshipers in Spirit & Truth are what the Father seeks, these are the forerunners plowing away the fear so the others can soar freely in His spirit. Most forerunners don't know this is their mandate by the Spirit because of the humility of Christ in their worship. He alone IS Worthy.
Jesus is soooo amazing he loves each and every one of us it doesn't matter how many wrong things you have done in your life, because nothing is to impossible for Jesus to do, because he works in the impossible. If you have been having a bad day or day that you just feel like there is no hope for you the father is just a breathe away waiting for you to come racing to his arms, he loves you and you are special to him. Thank you Jesus for your love that passes all understanding we ask you that your Spirit be the one guiding us and that we can walk hand and hand with you for all our days.
Her body is fully covered, she is wearing a floor length, flowing dress that shows only her arms.. If you are lusting over seeing the skin on her arms then that's an issue you need to work out between you and God, not her. Maybe you should worship with your eyes closed instead of focusing on the fact that you can see her arms. There was nothing inappropriate about this experience and maybe if you had been focused on God instead of her apparel you would've been able to feel His presence and worship along with her. That's an anointed woman of God and her worship is something we all can experience God through.
Typical female response. How about the tight fitting top that reveals the size and outline of her breasts? How about the low cut top. The other girls are not dressed like this. You really need to wake up.
I totally agree with Laura, and I think if Ted spent more time preaching, praying and reading the word of God, He wouldn't have so much time to write all this comments. Philippians 4:7-8 By the way, I feel the presence of God through this song ! ! ! Thats all I need to know. Thank You God because your hand holds me :D
luisalvaro15 There is no such thing in the Bible as feeling the presence of God through a song. So there is much more you need to know. We are in God's presence 24/7.
Emily Kim Then why does the Bible command women to dress modestly? The Bible also says to flee temptation, so should all the men who think she is hot, leave the service? What is Kim's responsibility in all this? If she was up there naked, would you still be concentrating on men's lust instead of her covering up?
Her dress length is fine. I just think she needs a little bit of training in not jerking around so much. If she does, I don't think it's ok to be up their with so much bare skin on top and baring so much armpit. She could have simply worn a cardigan sweater, a light one and it would've been decent. That's all. Otherwise it makes it too sensuous and distracting for men, heck even women looking at her and partaking in the worship. You don't need to only worship with your eyes closed to keep distraction away. Distraction should not exist in the first place. It's better to be wise than to make a man possibly lust.
Ted Warren There is nothing wrong with God's children corporately gathering together and worshipping God with song. And without some sort of order or leadership, it would become chaos just as it did at the church at Corinth. Worship can be expressed in many different ways. If you listen to the words being sung they are clearly worshipping and magnifying God; and by looking at the congregation, they definitely seem to be ministered to by the Spirit of God. Whose place is it to say, "You're not worshipping God correctly, let me tell you how God likes it." Nobody knows God better than God Himself, so let Him decide what is worship to Him. Bethel church has made such a drastic impact on Redding California in a positive way: giving to the poor, laying hands on the sick and watching as God heals them, casting out demons in Jesus' name, etc. you can't possibly say those works are of the devil because the devil will not heal a person (he's come to kill), the devil will not give to the poor (he's come to steal), and why on earth would he cast out one of his own demons? There are many, many people who will indeed testify to all of the great works Bethel Church has done in Jesus' name. I have a difficult time seeing how one could say Bethel is a cult, when the things they do for their city are clearly things God did through Jesus. Jesus came and taught / lived 100% truth, and he was crucified for it. To me that says the truth is rejected by a lot of people, and I pray you aren't overlooking many good truth's that have come out of Bethel Church. Be blessed!
- I do not see anything wrong with how she dresses. Why? because her dress is not short neither is she exposing her chest. I dont think its a sin to expose your shoulders... Sometimes instead of focusing on the small things we should just worship God and let the Holy Spirit take over.
Come back to the Heart of Worship guys When the music fades All is stripped away And I simply come Longing just to bring Something that's of worth That will bless your heart I'll bring you more than a song For a song in itself Is not what you have required You search much deeper within Through the way things appear You're looking into my heart I'm coming back to the heart of worship And it's all about you It's all about you, Jesus I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it When it's all about you It's all about you, Jesus
The Bible does say a woman should dress modestly. You can't take away from that. It's one thing for a woman to dress that way who isn't a Christian. But a woman of God must be above approach.
I agree that we need to focus on the Lord while worshiping. I also know that for men it is not so easy so ....women, let's not be a stumbling block to our brothers and let's not draw attention to us especially when we lead worship. Our beauty should be the Lord's and... our husband's. Let's never forget ...we are standing before the Holy One of Israel and as priests we should be modest and be a standard for the world, not the other way around. Beautiful worship. Bless you Jenn.
There is no choirmaster in the New Testament churches. Are you Jewish? Do you go to the Synagogue or Temple? Paul does not tell the NT churches any such thing. We are led by the Holy Spirit now. Did you not know that?
Slow to anger Teddy, There is prophetic worship. King David did it all the time, PSALMS 40;3 says, He has put a new song in my mouth, Praise to our GOD, many will see it and fear,And will trust in the Lord.... I encourage you to read the book of Psalms, they r prophetic songs... In the book of Colossians 3:16 Paul writes, Let the teaching of Christ live inside you richly, use all wisdom to teach and counsel one another ,singing psalms ,hymns and SPIRItual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD.
if you just close your eyes and focus on god instead of judging then this song would have ministered to you as it did me. i dont know about you but my eyes were closed and hands lifted praising god as it should be....i thank god for these people who bring music for me to worship to. screen can be on them but my eyes are lifted up!!!
Telissa Balatbat Yes, I hate lies, false teaching, counterfeit signs, lying wonders, idol worship, and all of the other doctrines of demons at Bethel. You should be a hater of these things also. God is a hater. Provers 6:16 "There are six things that the Lord HATES, seven that are an abomination to him."
Ted Warren brother you have a spirit that is not of God! It is keeping u from your inheritance,it grieves my heart to see a man who must love the Lord bend his knee to something other than Jesus! I pray from this moment God would literally turn your world upside down and open your eyes to what is using u to try and sow seeds of discord and disrupt the harmony of unity that is taking place amongst his people!! Be free in Jesus name. I believe in u and and love u.
Wow......how beautiful! I find it very sad to read all the negative comments. Interesting they all seem to come from men.......directed toward a beautiful woman, full of the power of God and the beauty of Jesus. But then again, why am I surprised. THIS is the very spirit that crucified Jesus.
Ted Warren Get out of religion please and join relationship. You are speaking like a Pharisee. Worship is intimate which means something not most people really know about. She can only worship based on her relationship with Christ so stop judging. no one is forcing you to watch her videos so next time you want to say something back it up with the Word of God that is the only Truth needed. Stop judge lest ye be judge. David used to Worship naked, was he trying to seduce God or was it a matter of intimacy so please i urge you friend don't talk out of ignorance. When you spend in the presence of a Holy King to allow HIM to teach you to truly worship in Spirit and in truth then and only then will you understand intimacy. I pray that God opens the eyes of your understanding about the difference between religion and relationship. It will change the way you see HIM.
Sylvie Blessing David was not up on a stage being videotaped to make a name for himself. David did not start a Christian rock band and go on tour. David did not have concerts and charge an admission fee. David did not have a scheduled date and a time to perform for an audience. So it is YOU that has not intimacy and is the Pharisee here. REAL worship has no set date or time and has no performance to entertain. So please spare me all of your religious nonsense.
Ted, am I sensing a bit of envy? Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. God has anointed her to sing, she is merely using the good gift that comes from God to do that which God has commended all of us to do which is Go preach the Gospel to all nation. The tour is merely an avenue to which God uses to provide for her financially just as God had promised in Matthew 6:33 quoted above. She is putting God first and reaping the fruit of her labor. So don't be so heavenly minded that you know no earthly goods. So instead of judging her or slandering what don't you pray and ask God to reveal to you what she is doing wrong so that you may intercede on her behalf since we are our brother's keeper. We are called to be like Christ, where is the compassion, actually where are the fruits of the spirit at work? so Pray if you see something is wrong with her worship don't come to spew negativity her with little to no discernment of her spirit. So Be the Change you Desire to SEE in her....
Sylvie Blessing There is no gift of the Holy Spirit called the gift of singing. No such calling and no such ministry found in the New Testament. So please quit excusing this cult and their seduction.
I find it absolutely baffling that people are having a fit about what she is wearing. She's not wearing anything indecent, nor is she showing anything but her arms. Get over yourselves.
I love Jenn Johnson. I also love how people are trying to fight about her outfit, despite the fact that she's wearing a dress down past her ankles. haha does she need a long train in order to be a good Christian? Amazing how such a wonderful woman of God simply worshiping is receiving this kind of negativity from perverts. I don't know any guy that wasn't grown up in a super legalistic church that ever gets angry at a woman for being beautiful. Any other normal guy would just be listening to the song. There's some weird idea in legalistic churches that as a woman, you can't be both beautiful and a Christian, because it's distracting a few perverted guys who physically aren't able to worship if the singer is pretty. What a satanic idea. Never mind the matter or fights on this (since Jesus definitely wouldn't be found fighting with random people on youtube), this is a wonderful, powerful song.
Why is she center stage? Why the bright orange? No one else brings attention to their form or their clothing on this stage. No comments being made about anyone else. Why is that? No one else is sleeveless. No one else's chest is being accented. No one else is distracting or calling attention to themselves through how they are dressed. Do you have no wisdom whatsoever? Christains are suppose to worship GOD - not her nor her form. She is NOT up there to be LOOKED at!
Ted Warren 2 Timothy 2:23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. Ted I know you probably mean well...or maybe you don't...regardless, the dress was worn. Worship went forth. Jenn is still living her life and despite your disapproving comments will continue to dress as she sees fit. In my opinion, if you're that concerned about the way she's dressed then pray for her and let God move by His Holy Spirit to bring about a change. Personally, I think she looks great and I really only took notice of her dress AFTER it was mentioned in the comments! Also, instead of attacking your brothers and sisters (Jenn and other commenters included) reflect on your own "disgusting sins," and remember we're ALL products of grace! God bless!
Ted Warren ted, it sounds like you are focused on everything BUT jesus. you are in error friend. and based on the negative, antagonistic comments of yours that ive been reading on everyones comments, that scripture that Jauntae posted for you is truthfully something that you need to think and pray about in this situation. you were not given a voice to bring the church as a whole down. if Jen Johnson's dress is not modest enough for your taste, simply click away from the video, but God is not angry about it, and is OBVIOUSLY still using this worship for his glory and plan. i agree that there is nothing ignorant or foolish about modesty, but there is about the way that you've been going about things today.
Omar Jurado Woelz Omar, I will obey God and HIS wisdom, HIS discernment, and HIS counsel. Many others besides myself have commented on her ungodly and seductive dress. Perhaps you are too gay to be aroused or take notice. Perhaps you do not have the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you have no wisdom from God. No one is making comments about the way anyone else is dressed up on that stage. Why is that? If it was just being negative and judgmental, then why not comment about how everyone is dressed? Your reply is pathetic rubbish and total foolishness.
Oh my! It's sad to read some of these comments! My God people, this music is anointed, from the heart of the Father to His bride. She is showing flesh because she has an ANKLE length dress on and her arms are showing? Lord have mercy, it's almost laughable....smh....religion kills, love heals. Be blessed people of God!
There is no such thing in the Bible as anointed music. 1 Timothy 2:9 says "Women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel." Why is he addressing women here? You do not think that dress was expensive? Or the gold band on her arm? And if it is form fitting to the breasts, then that in itself is not modest. You have been seduced by the world's standards. Repent.
ummmmmmmmmmm LOL....Seriously dude? I really shouldn't even respond to this foolishness. The Lord is with this woman. Walk in love my friend. Religion has you bound. Touch not thy anointed or do My prophet any harm.
This is the sugar coating on the poison pill that is Bethel church. We don't judge things by our feelings but by the word. Is this music professional? Yes!! Are they talented? Yes!! Is their Church Cultic? Yes!! If This group were from a Mormon or JW church would you like it so much? Be careful - examine what the Church teaches by the Bible and the historic Christian faith - it is not the same. Joe
People commenting negatively Pretty sure the exact words of Jesus were 'Now, LOVE ONE ANOTHER' Not 'let's go onto the internet and look up videos of my children pouring their hearts and souls unto me and say hateful things' Seriously, get lives. Learn what the love of God means. Learn what it means to have the love of God pour through you. Learn what it is to FEEL the presence of God. What sad lives you must live full of doctrine with no experience of the LIVING God. I absolutely love the way I can get an express ticket into the throne room through this kind of worship. Absolutely love it. Praise God.
Was having a rough time studying and some fear started to stress me out. War broke out in my mind, giving me a headache on the left side of my head and this spontaneous song came to my rememberance. After some struggle (thought I couldn't multitask) I decided to pull it up and I IMMEDIATELY felt the presence of God crawl up my left arm and touch my head and give me peace. Always retreat to worship, people!!!!
oneildonaldmusic Worship: Strong's G3000 latreuo, to offer divine service, to minister to God, to serve. Reference Phillipians 3:3 "which worship God in spirit", Acts 24:14, "so worship I the God of my fathers". Proskuneo, to bow down or prostate oneself, is not the only N.T. Bible word for worship. And praise does not always mean singing songs to the Lord; David used (at least) seven different words for praise. Halal, tehillah, towdah, yadah, barak, shabach, and zamar are all translated as "praise" but only two of them involve the vocal cords. In fact, zamar praise is using just the stringed instrument to praise God.
spin4God Worship NEVER means to sing songs. That was the point I made. Pay attention next time and you will not be embarrassing yourself so much. Go learn your Bible and quit posting ignorant dribble.
I don't understand why, if someone is so offended or "distracted" by her attire, they don't just find a video that better suites them. If they are looking to worship anyway.
***** How much tighter could that dress be around her breasts? None of the other women on stage are dressed like her. Steffany Frizzle never dresses like that. There have been many comments about the way she dresses on this and the other videos where she always has no sleeves. Why so many comments about how she dresses???? Not one comment about how Steffany Frizzle dresses. You do the math and go get some wisdom from God.
How we dress make a statment of our heart! A true worshiper (not just a song leader) worship with the right heart and lifestyle! l am a woman l know when l surrender to God, fear God, l dare not wear the kind of clothing to get men's attention! To stumble the brothers! Can we Women claim to be fear God continually be ignorance? God said to Some girls very clear He makes men like that we women must dress not to stumble your brothers . l taught my children wear T shirt. Honor our God and live in His standard . 1 thank you brother Ted and some others brothers they speak up with honesty and integrity!
please disable ted's posts that are glorifying his self proclaimed capacity to prove everyone else wrong (of course he is 'never' wrong and wouldn't admit it if he was).
Scotty C Please "diable"? Prove me wrong from the Bible about Bethel being a cult. Show me a band like Jesus CULTure in the New Testament. Show me and shut me up for good.
Ted Warren there are no proofs in the bible about what a cult is... can you find the word "cult" in the bible so that you can prove that bethel actually is one? i can't prove they aren't and you cant prove that they are with the scriptures, because they don't specifically address cults. they adress false religions that worship other gods like rah, diana, molech, and others. what you say is a cult comes down to opinion. as far as a band 'like bethel', for 33 years in the tabernacle of david. singers and musicians were paid to minister in song 24/7, with horns, cymbals, stringed instuments, drums, tambourines, dancing, new songs, etc. sounds familiar, maybe? oh, and the misspell of 'disable' was probably because i was thinking 'diablo' over the way satan uses certain people to slam others continually for posting anything at all positive about bethel...
Scotty C Oh, do you go to the Temple do you? Afre you Jewish? Did the Temple singers go on tour and charge for their concerts? Did the apostle Paul tell any of the churches to start a band?
It's interesting that so many people have commented on her clothing choices. I feel, too, that she should cover herself a little more. I mean, why would a worship leader want to tempt even one man and draw his thoughts away from God?
Men are tempted by their own desires not by the behavior of others. The Bible says that sin is born when we are carried away and enticed by our own desires. This beautiful woman is not making anybody sin. How awful that anybody would accuse her of this! Sounds to me more like other people are guilty of lust and they want to blame her for it other people are jealous and their comments make them look jealous to everybody that hears them. The Bible says where jealousy is lies every form of evil. I wander how many people that have their finger pointed out at her suppose that God can't see their hearts. Good news for them God knows the hearts of all men yet pursues them with his love. Christ said come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden not come to me all who want to blame someone else for their sin. Women don't make men lust. A hard heart in a man makes a man lust. I suppose if a man can blame women for their lust then they will never be able to be free from lust. Because everywhere you go women are showing their arms LOL and a lot more. Be better off if a man prayed for those women and if a man owned his own lust so it did no longer have to blame women for who he was. Your comment my friend is the old adage you have one finger pointed out and three pointing back and have just told on yourself by the words that came out of your mouth. All I'm hearing you say is I'm lusting after her. Even though you wanted to blame her for who you are. I mean every time you go to the grocery store and you see somebody's arms what does that do for you. Do you have to wear blinders when you go out in public so you won't be tempted by someone else.?! How horrible that you are accusing this girl of tempting people. If you weren't having lustful thoughts you couldn't have made the statement. Anyways I'll have to keep you in my prayers. I pray that God frees you from the lust you so freely accuse others of bestowing on you. I suppose if she was wearing a bikini your statement would be a little bit more acceptable but once again women don't make men lust either men have been freed up from what causes them to lust or they haven't. It's not like she's wearing a sign saying I hope my arms are turning you on. How sad and pathetic. And I guess I don't really know if you're a woman or a guy so could be you're just jealous. do you think God's going to come and get her and do something awful to her because she showed her arms the people. OMG the nerve of others
this is RADICAL worship THAT JESUS WANTED.this is it! this is it!! #forgive for those who want to destroy thoughts of one another.. we love you ..Jesus loves you mire
There is no such thing in the Bible called RADICAL worship. Quit adding to God's word and quit glorifying some man made stage performance. This is NOT what Jesus wanted. Not even close.
Ted Warren "We are bound to THANK GOD ALWAYS FOR YOU, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves GLORY IN YOU in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:" 2Thess 1:3-4. The Bible says it's ok to give glory to God for someone else and what they are doing (unless the apostle Paul is grossly uninformed). If you're going to slam someone for a statement at least be scripturally correct.
3 "We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring." Paul is not talking about celebrity Christians with their fame and fortune. Paul was boasting in their faith during persecution and tribulation. Singing songs and making big bucks on tour shows zero faith, zero persecution, and zero tribulation. Christian rock stars are nowhere to be found in the Bible. Bethel and Jesus CULTure make a mockery out of true Christianity. It is a farce and a sham.
Ted Warren "We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints," Col 1:3-4. "We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God" 1Thess 1:2-4. Giving thanks to God for someone or a group of people is not restricted to causes of persecution or tribulation; it's still scripturally ok. The point was not whether Bethel is off or not or Christian celebrity, the point was whether or not you had the scriptural grounds to slam him for giving glory to God for the culture of honor and worship that he perceives has come out from a person or group (that WAS your original post, right?). And scripturally you don't. It's wrong, it's hateful, it's unprovoked, and it's not rooted and grounded in the love of Christ.
My next door neighbor an old Asian lady sits by my window to listen to this video when I put it on in the mornings so I put it super loud for her today an she was really enjoying it. She even fell asleep for a while-it was the cutest thing.
52thanks That is awesome!!! Thx for sharing.
52thanks Wow....that's so sweetly awesome!!
That is awesome! God Bless you and your neighbor!
Carmen Alicea kl
52thanks Pray and maybe God will use you to share Christ with her. That is awesome.
Guys who are complaining about Jenn - Please get a life. Just enter into His presence with the worship.
This is NOT worship. The only worship taking place here is idol worship - the audience worshiping the band. So YOU go get a life, you moron.
Paul - in love, there are only 2-kinds of people in the world. Those who love Jesus and the Body of Christ to an extent, and those who need to get a little better at loving Jesus and the Body of Christ. We all need to continue to grow in the love for God and our fellow man. Jesus - Help!
Wow! Unbelievable… I started listening to this song nine years ago long before I was even married or knew that I would be facing infertility. To think that God was such a good shepherd to have planted this faith in my heart to sustain me through the last five years of infertility is simply amazing! Thank you Jenn Johnson and thank you Bethel.
I bind up the spirit of confusion and anger, hate, and attack. You have NO PLACE on these comments! SATAN YOU ARE EXPOSED!! THE SPIRIT PREVAILS AND TRUMPHS EVERYTHING YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. I pray that peoples eyes may be opened to the beauty of this song and overlook the enemys tactics in trying to steer people away from the song and beauty of your majesty. In the name of Jesus, in the name of the great IAM. Amen.
Do you hear that? That's the sound of chains hitting the floor!! When the worship leader is released to worship in Spirit and truth so are those who listen. Love seeing what God does at Bethel!! ❤

yaaaassssss
I agree with you
This continues to speak to me year after year!!
The first time I walked into a church as a unsaved adult, I was in daisy dukes. I wasnt convicted because I didn't know. God and ONLY God will change that.
Jenn is really anointed. You can see the Holy Spirit around her. Powerful song.
Jenn vai ser julgada, todos , nós cristãos seremos julgados,somos o sal da terra
When i first read the comments on here I instantly wanted to defend Jenn's attire and tell people to calm down but I waited and let God speak to my heart about the issue at hand, because I myself have been a worship leader and dealt with the same struggle. What God revealed to me was as a worship leader we're not meant to be distracting in anyway. Because Jenn's physical appearance is rather stunning and beautiful, her appearance alone can be a distraction .... so it might help to be a little more covered during worship as to not distract with bare skin. We are all visual beings and the devil will use anything he can to distract! So it might be more helpful for Jenn to present herself as Jesus did .... Jesus was very average in appearance as not to distract from His purpose! He never adorned Himself with jewelry or anything that stood out. As a worship leader, we are to blend into the stage as to not distract from Christ! Which is the whole point and purpose! I love Jenn! I think she's incredibly anointed, talented, beautiful, gifted and surrendered to God's will and purpose for her life! I don't think she intentionally wears these clothes to distract! I'm sure she believes this is a toned down version of herself! So spread love! If you feel she needs to change her attire ----->> PRAY FOR GOD to reveal that to her! Pray for God to enlighten her in this area. But don't judge her ...... judgement is the cause of a failing BELIEF SYSTEM. People turn from Christianity because people are so judgmental. Jesus showed LOVE and provided wisdom in a loving manner! If you serve Him --- follow His lead! That will serve a greater purpose and create a better outcome! ❤️
Thank you so much for this comment. I myself, being a female who has had my own battles with the issue of modesty, have considered this very situation & even struggled with my own judgmental thoughts on it. I could not agree with you more. Thanks for your godly, mercy-filled perspective. I don't feel that attacking someone is the answer here, but prayer is. I believe that as women of God, on or off the stage, we should aim for modesty (yes this is relative) but as women we are aware of what we are showing at all times so the question is what is our motive? Are we trying to draw attention to ourselves or to Christ in us? And accountability is important because we are all susceptible to falling into deception (the nature of deception is that we don't know we are deceived) I've asked my husband to be frank with me about my clothing- if its too low, too tight, or too high in his eyes for the public eye then I certainly don't want to wear it out! I can't stand the idea of drawing that type of attention. At times I have also struggled with the idea of facing a worship band while worshipping and feeling that there are some who have turned the music itself into idolatry- this is a whole other issue in itself but yet again, prayer & spreading awareness with love, not hatred like some others!
You are saying the truth God bless you.
But people will find anything to tear someone down. They would find something that she says during praise and worship but it doesn't line up with the word of God or something else that is completely a stretch. The devil always goes after someone that is making an impact and if they can't get to them they'll send other people to tear them down. Jesus says come as you are. And she is modest because if I have seen people that come up there wearing super tight clothes and showing off their cleavage and still worshipping God on the stage.
I love it that she is beautiful and dresses beautifully and sings her heart out in praise to help us do the same. I was attracted to watch and praise along because of beauty in all areas. She enhances the worship for m by her own obvious love for our Lord God. I am grateful.
No she has a great body and just likes to show it off period she didnt accidentally put that on and keep adjusting her dress so her boobs don't pop out please overly obvious, unless clothes just magically jumped on her shes accountable for what she wears like all of us
who cares people are always going to have somthing to we still gotta love the hell out of them literally I think God for this beautiful woman of God who worships in spirit and in truth she helped me Take My Worship to another level I knew I wasn't the only one that did this and when I stumbled across her God moves on me so mightily bless your heart Jen
Idk why everyone is judging each other about their appearances but I know that I was blessed by this worship and I felt their sincerity of their worship
this woman of God is one of the end-times generals...she has a voice like a beast on the mic, I can see demons flying out of people when she opens her mouth. to God be praised!! keep it up Jen
WOW… That’s POWERFUL
I love how Brian looks at her
Mr. Warren, one day we will stand before our Lord and give account of our lives in Christ and what we did with the gifts that He has given us. Do you not know that He knows the heart of each and everyone of us who proclaim that Jesus is our savior and those that don't. What will be the account of your life when He asks why you chose to sit in criticism of those who worship Him.
God told me to expose this cult. What will YOU say when He asks YOU why you did not listen to the words of His prophets?
Ted Warren what is so cultish about people worshipping God?
They are NOT worshiping God. They worship themselves, fame, attention, and money. They love the cameras, the stage, the lights, and all else that goes with idol worship.
Ted Warren Ive met many worship leaders and i found they are very down to earth and humble. Ive only met one person like that but he wasn't a very commited christian, but that doesn't mean that all worship leaders are looking for those things.
Ted Warren When I meet or hear a true prophet, I listen! I doubt you one of them.
I saw a clip on the side saying "spontaneous Worship" and clicked on it. I have to say that I did not care too much for the style of spontaneous worship, however, Let everything that has breathe Praise the Lord! I did feel a sense of happiness seeing all the different worshipers in God's House. There are so many things we as christians do in church that are not written in the Bible. But I must say that culture and times change and this is why we see a shift in how church is conducted. As an old generation dies a new one takes over. Just think about how different church was for your parents or even grandparent compared to the church you grew up in. This does not mean that we can do as we please and disregard God's word and the Holy spirit. We must have standards that shape our foundation as believers in this lost world. Each church and each christian has a distinctive style about them, I believe this is why we as Christians are able to reach out to many different types of people. We are not to judge but to love on others because how can we reach the lost if all we do is judge?We are all individuals and there is nothing wrong with that. We must remember that by keeping Jesus at the center of our lives, we are the salt and light of the world.
In terms of this woman's dress, I feel it is appropriate. I did not even judge her outfit until I scrolled down to read these comments. I looked at the video again, and took a close look at her outfit and thought "That looks like something I would wear if I were on vacation and were to spend time on the beach with family and friends." It is just a very casual outfit in my opinion. I also feel that IF the outfit (which was not skin tight), was an issue the husband or another leader of the church would have said something and not wanting to offend anyone, she would have probably changed.
What is important here is not her dress but the fact that she was able to bring a group of worshippers together to give OUR GOD the highest praise and to get closer to our father! God Bless you all!!!
bottom line its called the last days . we are seeing the laodicean church become a reality now . the laodicean is a false church that serves
Another jesus . this bethel and jculture is a religious cult bottom line
zeke man
You are so right. Christians are being seduced and deceived on a grand scale. This is idol worship, and they do not even realize it.
Ted Warren Hey Ted, I am curious what your belief system is. You reference and support the facebook page (bethel church and christianity). The page is run by baptist dispensationalists and you mentioned in a comment on this video that "God told you" to correct bethel. You support a baptist group that believes hearing God is not possible today because of the completion of the Bible as in 1 Cor 13:9-11. Your opinions are not logically consistent. It sounds like your mixing beliefs to fit what you feel is right which is just as bad as what your criticizing others for doing "living based on feelings". Give some background to your beliefs and positions so that people may actually consider hearing what you have to say.
this jculture bethel is satanic . nothing christian here at all . a comparison video would be (donna summer i feel love 1977 (hd and hq) utube . rock and roll naked exposed skin movement of the body in extesy . donna even has three choir girls in choir dresses . thats 1up for donna .
zeke man
Right on!
all those who judging, one of the main things I know the BIBLE said is judge not, and also, who is perfect throw the first stone!
We are not to judge right from wrong or truth from lies????? You better go learn what that verse is talking about.
Jesus Christ. is Lord and judge who will judge the living and the dead. We are called to love and only to love and show the world how much God loves them.
We are also called to rebuke, reprove, and correct - 2 Tim 3:16. Or do you let your unsaved friends drive drunk so they can kill themselves and others? There is no love in being silent about this Bethel cult. It is dangerous to your walk with God.
So what is so wrong about Bethel church? What are they doing wrong that is so dangerous? Do you remember what Jesus said in Mark 9:38-40? Here it is: Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”
But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My Name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is on our side.
Edward Perez
Bethel has numerous false signs and counterfeit wonders like "glory clouds" angel feathers, gold teeth, and much other ridiculous nonsense. They go to the graves of famous dead Christians to soak in their anointing! Is that what the apostle Paul told the churches to do? Bethel cult is absolutely disgusting filth.
How bout their teaching? Do they preach Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died for the sins of the world?
Ted Warren I have never experienced feathers, gold or gold teeth or anything like that, but I don't judge the people it happens to. I have once gotten oil in my hands, not much but a little while I was praying. Anyway, God is sovereign and He can do what He wants, when He wants, even if they make no sense to us,
God is LOOKING at the HEART!! Not what's she is wearing... Everyone is DIFFERENT what she wears to Worship may not be what you wear and what you wear may not be what you wear!!
She is up on that stage and is the center of attention. She is called to a higher standard. That dress is immodest and totally inappropriate.
Ok
Can we all just get REAL, and stop being Religious! Praise God for His Grace!!
Jenn Johnson, you are beautiful and truly anointed! Thank you for sharing the beautiful music God had gifted you with. The world will try to tear you down but God is obviously on your side! Be blessed and may he give you all the armor you need to overcome every obstacle in your life.
I don't think that most people are "trying to tear her down" as u put it. It's not only concerning her. It's an overall thing. their should be more modesty at Bethel up there on stage with what and what shouldn't be allowed, esp. as a woman to present herself up there....but men as well. You should stop using spiritual words for something that really doesn't apply. the issue resonating here is modesty.
ellamae There is nothing wrong with what Jenn has done here. The people that worry about her should be more worried about their own relationship with God. Jenn happens to be an attractive woman and very talented there is no sin in that.
+ellamae What was so immodest ab the clothes she wore??
Lee Xiong Very well said!!!
@@leex1977 yes, where’s the sin in trying to become the more beautiful possible the God’s temple ?
If you come here for the worship you should not care about how she looks. It's all about Jesus.
If it is truly all about Jesus, then why is Jenn front and center for everyone to see????? WHY?????
Watch more of bethel. The lead singer is the primary focus weather it is her or whomever.
In this video it happens to be her
James Darnell
So then the focus is not on Jesus. Thanks for confirming my point.
Ted Warren I mean I feel like I could care less whose singing I'm praising Jesus anyway.
*Jesus said, “You have to separate the wheat from the chaff.” He is saying separate your spirit from your mind*. Separate the truth from the BS. All thoughts, feelings and emotions come from the mind, and they are not real unless you give them life. You suffer because of the mind, learning the real teachings of Jesus and the *unseen truth* in the bible, is the key to overcome the mind and free you spirit. Google *TruthContest read the Present*
intriguing perspective on this subject
I'm NOT trying to be legalistic, but somehow, I don't think Jesus would say to separate the truth from the BS...i.e. "Bullshit"...which is what "BS" stands for. Perhaps a better choice of wording is appropriate. from all the dung...garbage...untruth...lies...any one of those would work, I'm sure, and would get the same point across. Again, this is not to be legalistic, it just seems so unlike Jesus that he would us that slang.
CS Lewis tackles this a number of times in his writings. Feelings, thoughts and emotions are God given and legitimate in their place - and they are subjective reality for those experiencing them. Jesus meets us where we are and is gracious. True, the mind (along with the body and soul) must be subject to the spirit, but personally I would guard against the rather dogmatic view you are proposing. Each person must live - and be allowed to live - according to their own revelation of Christ.
I also understood that God separating the wheat from the chaff alluded to separating His own from those who reject Him, initially in the context of those in Israel who, being religious, set themselves against Him, but ultimately for the whole of mankind.
Suffering is not caused by the mind. That is a Buddhist / Pythagorean teaching and completely opposite to the Bible.
Followers of Jesus are called to be transformed by the renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2). For that to happen, we need to acknowledge the reality of the mind. And this transformation and renewal do not come without suffering; Jesus never promised non-suffering to His followers while our time on the Earth. (Heaven is a very different situation of course!)
daniel overwater ;) are love, joy and peace not emotions? And the first 3 parts to the fruit of the spirit? Emotions are much more important than most say. Even the garden of "Eden" means garden of pleasure. Our daddy in heaven wants us to be happy. Even when Paul was suffering, he talks about his joy. And Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before him. Amazing grace lol I just typed myself happy lol thanks for posting your thoughts
This song has gotten me through the worst time of my life and God restored me!!!!!!! Glory to Yahweh!! Jesus King of Kings Lord of Lords.
🙌🏾☁️❤️🔥👑🔥❤️☁️🙌🏾
Beautiful Worship to God!! Close your eyes and enter in to His Presence.
Amazing passion filled song!!!
Nice worship! There is no way without Jesus.
Bethel Church blesses believers that want to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Psalm 100. Thank you for Spontaneous Worship and the freedom to Praise the Almighty God without worrying if someone thinks we are crazy. I would rather please God than please man any day.
Careful...it's not her but the Lord who reveals His power in those who are in His will.
Awesome Worship I love It.
Love the work God is doing through you Bethel!
people that have negative comments don't really know or understand true worship
Finally found this again after years… its still amazing and gives me goosebumps❤️🙏
this was powerful
i dont know about you but i feel the presence of God. Ask God for discernment.
Jenn, thank you for sharing your beautiful annointed heart of worship.
For all those who criticize Jenn for her clothes instead of being open to what the Spirit can do in their lives, I will tell them something: A few years ago a friend of mine told me "the heaven would show us many surprises." At that time I could not understand, I was very young. Today I understand that God has the power to take to heaven to whom He considers. So keep alert to being one of them.
Wow! Let us praise Him! We Glorify Your name oh God.
Thank you Jen, you are a blessing .
Thank you almighty God for the power of your spirt
Beautiful and powerful expression of worship from our beloved sister. I think this is one of the best ever in the large worship paradigm. Come Jesus come!!
she flows in Spirit. amazing.
She sure has you fooled. She flows in getting attention. Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to STAND and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be SEEN by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward."
we all have different judgements and opinions. im not saying that you are wrong or right. im sure the truth will all be revealed to us by God in His perfect timing. if thats what you think then its okay. i dont judge you. lets just respect each others beliefs, judgements and opinions. God bless you.
Ela Tanada
God already showed me that Bethel is a cult. I do not respect cults.
well, good for you. but the thing is, you cannot force people to believe what you believe. it all comes down to free will. like what i have said, God will reveal the truth to us in His perfect timing so stop trying to do His job for Him.
Ela Tanada
God also speaks through His prophets, so quit telling God how to do His job.
Part 2 Transcript
"I just saw us push back
on what has been said: 'It Can't Be Done'
I saw us push back, in the Spirit, with faith, and with hope.
So in Jesus' Name we push back.
And we say, Every Impossibility: you BOW, to the Name of Jesus.
And we push back with faith,
And we push back with hope
Knowing a good Father holds us"
"Let joy arise
Cos our Hope is in You
Let joy arise
Cos our anchor is in You
Let joy arise
Cos our Hope is in You
Let joy arise
Cos we are anchored in You"
Keep worshipping The Lord dear sister! you shine with the Glory of God! Beautiful dress Jenn, i love your passion and dedication to God alone. you are an inspiration for those who really seek the presence of God, thank you for your love ! I love you in Christ!
I often listen to this video because is one of those videos that is always refreshing.
I can't believe most of the comments are about her dress! Did you listen to the worship at all? See the people worship? If you knew Jenn, you wouldn't pick on her dress - she serves Jesus with all her heart!
Women who serve Jesus with all their hearts do not dress immodestly. Neither do they charge money for their music, nor copyright it.
Ted Warren
I see where you're coming from. You have a judgmental and legalistic spirit. Your link below is fill of misinformation. I disagree with you but I wouldn't call you a wolf, deceiver or liar. If you name the name of Jesus as your Savior and Lord, then you are a brother. We have the same Dad.
You can look up almost any Christian leader and get all kinds of people calling them heretics or worse. I know several people who have been to all three years of Bethel school and they are wonderful servants of the Lord. Bill's teaching changed me from a skeptical man to one who sees healing on a regular basis. If you think all healing is false, then I truly feel sorry for you.
I'll share one story. I was going to garage sales when I talked to this man who had hurt his wrist 8 years in the past. It clicked whenever he moved it and was painful. I asked him if he prayed for it. He admitted he didn't know if God was real. I said I know Him personally and could I pray. He said OK and the Lord totally healed the clicking and pain right then and there. Now it's years later and his wrist is strong and pain free. This is one story among many (and thousands more through Bethel folks).
John Leonardson
I believe 100% in the gift of healing and have been healed myself on many occasions. Do you want to give God ALL of the glory, or do you want to reserve some of the glory for Bethel? The person whose wrist was healed had NOTHING to do with Bethel. Bethel was not at that garage sale - you were and the Holy Spirit was.
So what is Bethel? If 10 people from Bethel move to another city, it it still Bethel, or is a part of Bethel no longer there? So is Bethel the people or the location? The buildings? The school? Is this PLACE something special? Why did they name it? Do you see any named groups of Christians in the Bible? Does the apostle Paul tell any of the churches he writes to about any special move of God is a particular place?
Don't you see how incredibly deceived you are by a man made cult? You REALLY need to wake up. PLEASE!
Ted Warren No glory goes to Bethel - where did you come up with that? It's all Jesus! That's what any good church teaches. It's reality. I'm not a Bethelite!
I'm not part of any cult, nor is Bethel a cult either. You sound deceived as a man who claims he has the only pure doctrine and cuts down others who operate differently.
So you're saying a church can't have a name? What nonsense!! You aren't familiar with Bethel - only the naysayers. I am part of a lively church here which has no connection to Bethel. I only said Bill's teaching set me free - not connecting me to anything, much less a cult. I don't pray in the name of Bethel or Bill - only in the name of Jesus.
Besides how am I deceived? You don't know me. You don't know of my 34 years of prison ministry. You don't know my fruit, therefore you have no basis to judge me in any way. Just because I mentioned teaching helped me, you say I'm incredibly deceived. Wow, are you off base!
Go John.
Best song Ever!!! 💝💖💗
The spirit of God has always stirred up the religious folks just read about Jesus and the Pharisees
This is the problem with the Church and Christians today. Let go and let God!!!
If you are watching this just to look at her than you're not here to praise God. Reflect on that plank in your own eye. We as Christians are called to NOT judge but to be judged by the Almighty God, creator of heaven and Earth. HE is the only one who should be questioning her attire. Praise with your heart, not with your eyes people. Let's love her as we are to love everyone, even our enemies.
She may as well be naked according to your view. Should we not judge what is moral and modest? Should we not judge decency? If everyone on the stage was stark naked, would you still reply with "don't judge".
Ted Warren Was she naked? You must have some super power or super vision to see people naked when they are not.
stb1979
King David was!
Ted Warren Well we're not talking about King David but Jenn.
We are to judge nothing. That is for God to decide. Thank you for the scripture, and while I open my "big fat mouth" I will pray for you Ted Warren . God Bless you.
Criticism is the seed of pride.
To worship the Lord in spirit and truth, to be in awe of who he is, what he is, to allow the Spirit to move! Let's glorify Him, not criticize each other! Praise Jesus! Just wait, one day we will ALL be before Him. Be careful what you say.
Jesus called the Pharisees evil, hypocrites, vipers, and white washed tombs full of dead men's bones. Would you like to tell Jesus Himself to not criticize? So be careful what YOU say!
love spontaneous worship, pouring out the heart of God for his people and his people for Him. Spontaneous worshipers in Spirit & Truth are what the Father seeks, these are the forerunners plowing away the fear so the others can soar freely in His spirit. Most forerunners don't know this is their mandate by the Spirit because of the humility of Christ in their worship. He alone IS Worthy.
Jesus is soooo amazing he loves each and every one of us it doesn't matter how many wrong things you have done in your life, because nothing is to impossible for Jesus to do, because he works in the impossible. If you have been having a bad day or day that you just feel like there is no hope for you the father is just a breathe away waiting for you to come racing to his arms, he loves you and you are special to him. Thank you Jesus for your love that passes all understanding we ask you that your Spirit be the one guiding us and that we can walk hand and hand with you for all our days.
oh man our Lord is just too good
Her body is fully covered, she is wearing a floor length, flowing dress that shows only her arms.. If you are lusting over seeing the skin on her arms then that's an issue you need to work out between you and God, not her. Maybe you should worship with your eyes closed instead of focusing on the fact that you can see her arms. There was nothing inappropriate about this experience and maybe if you had been focused on God instead of her apparel you would've been able to feel His presence and worship along with her. That's an anointed woman of God and her worship is something we all can experience God through.
Typical female response. How about the tight fitting top that reveals the size and outline of her breasts? How about the low cut top. The other girls are not dressed like this. You really need to wake up.
I totally agree with Laura, and I think if Ted spent more time preaching, praying and reading the word of God, He wouldn't have so much time to write all this comments. Philippians 4:7-8
By the way, I feel the presence of God through this song ! ! ! Thats all I need to know.
Thank You God because your hand holds me :D
luisalvaro15
There is no such thing in the Bible as feeling the presence of God through a song. So there is much more you need to know. We are in God's presence 24/7.
Emily Kim
Then why does the Bible command women to dress modestly? The Bible also says to flee temptation, so should all the men who think she is hot, leave the service? What is Kim's responsibility in all this? If she was up there naked, would you still be concentrating on men's lust instead of her covering up?
Her dress length is fine. I just think she needs a little bit of training in not jerking around so much. If she does, I don't think it's ok to be up their with so much bare skin on top and baring so much armpit. She could have simply worn a cardigan sweater, a light one and it would've been decent. That's all. Otherwise it makes it too sensuous and distracting for men, heck even women looking at her and partaking in the worship. You don't need to only worship with your eyes closed to keep distraction away. Distraction should not exist in the first place. It's better to be wise than to make a man possibly lust.
Gives me chills every time! I Love spontaneous Worship (:
Good grief !!!, she hits it way out of the park again...she is teaching us how to win victory over Satan through praise!....Wow, just awesome!!!
You are totally deceived. This is a sham and a fraud. Totally NOT Biblical sewage.
Ted Warren There is nothing wrong with God's children corporately gathering together and worshipping God with song. And without some sort of order or leadership, it would become chaos just as it did at the church at Corinth. Worship can be expressed in many different ways. If you listen to the words being sung they are clearly worshipping and magnifying God; and by looking at the congregation, they definitely seem to be ministered to by the Spirit of God. Whose place is it to say, "You're not worshipping God correctly, let me tell you how God likes it." Nobody knows God better than God Himself, so let Him decide what is worship to Him. Bethel church has made such a drastic impact on Redding California in a positive way: giving to the poor, laying hands on the sick and watching as God heals them, casting out demons in Jesus' name, etc. you can't possibly say those works are of the devil because the devil will not heal a person (he's come to kill), the devil will not give to the poor (he's come to steal), and why on earth would he cast out one of his own demons? There are many, many people who will indeed testify to all of the great works Bethel Church has done in Jesus' name. I have a difficult time seeing how one could say Bethel is a cult, when the things they do for their city are clearly things God did through Jesus. Jesus came and taught / lived 100% truth, and he was crucified for it. To me that says the truth is rejected by a lot of people, and I pray you aren't overlooking many good truth's that have come out of Bethel Church.
Be blessed!
Josh just knocked one out of the park too !
There is now no more truth in the park because Josh knocked the truth out of the park. I like a park that has truth. I will stick with God's word.
Josh Todd Amen!
- I do not see anything wrong with how she dresses. Why? because her dress is not short neither is she exposing her chest. I dont think its a sin to expose your shoulders...
Sometimes instead of focusing on the small things we should just worship God and let the Holy Spirit take over.
God thank you for bethel music. I love you for Jenn
Come back to the Heart of Worship guys
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
Jesus is higher than my heart!
What does that mean???
The Bible does say a woman should dress modestly. You can't take away from that. It's one thing for a woman to dress that way who isn't a Christian. But a woman of God must be above approach.
scarrmd as much as I hate to admit, I've got a boner. It's natural though, right?
@@davesmilez Not natural to post it here at this place of worship
beautiful! love this song. jenn is gifted!
I agree that we need to focus on the Lord while worshiping. I also know that for men it is not so easy so ....women, let's not be a stumbling block to our brothers and let's not draw attention to us especially when we lead worship. Our beauty should be the Lord's and... our husband's. Let's never forget ...we are standing before the Holy One of Israel and as priests we should be modest and be a standard for the world, not the other way around.
Beautiful worship. Bless you Jenn.
Glory to god almighty
Glory to God. Beautiful worship. God is good.
Scott Andrews Hideous deception from a hideous cult.
Ted Warren still trolling Ted?
Molisan Tono
Still rejecting the truth Molisan?
Ted Warren which truth Ted? yours???
Molisan Tono
God's truth. Got any?
ne ne ne ne[singing]...Eish Jenn is da best...i love her worship so much....
This is not worship. Worship is not singing songs. Singing songs is called praise - not worship.
thanx..
You are welcome.
*****
Did Jesus start a singing group with His 12 apostles and then go on tour? This is NOT Biblical. It is man made rubbish.
There is no choirmaster in the New Testament churches. Are you Jewish? Do you go to the Synagogue or Temple? Paul does not tell the NT churches any such thing. We are led by the Holy Spirit now. Did you not know that?
Yeshua is sooooo good! Jenn, thank you for loving Him so well and so much! You have taught me and modeled for me what it means to worship!
Beautiful, beautiful, and peaceful music!
Speechless!!!
Slow to anger Teddy, There is prophetic worship. King David did it all the time, PSALMS 40;3 says, He has put a new song in my mouth, Praise to our GOD, many will see it and fear,And will trust in the Lord.... I encourage you to read the book of Psalms, they r prophetic songs...
In the book of Colossians 3:16 Paul writes,
Let the teaching of Christ live inside you richly, use all wisdom to teach and counsel one another ,singing psalms ,hymns and SPIRItual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD.
God's Kingdom runs on OFFERINGS - there is NEVER any charge. Thank you for proving my point about Jesus CULTure.
if you just close your eyes and focus on god instead of judging then this song would have ministered to you as it did me. i dont know about you but my eyes were closed and hands lifted praising god as it should be....i thank god for these people who bring music for me to worship to. screen can be on them but my eyes are lifted up!!!
Maybe they wasted their time videotaping this stage performance then. Just play the music and forget all of the stage hype.
BEAUTIFUL!!
amen.
Love her voice, Love You Jesus Christ, thank you
power Jesus!!! came spirit holy!!!! ooowww my God!!! thanks!!! God comes into our lives!! and sheds its glory on your wedding!!
Am listening to this just right before i go for my Medical Licentiate Exam as a Medical Doctor
Love, God is so good:) keep doing what your doin Jen.
Repent of what you are doing Jen. Women are commanded to keep silent in the assemblies - 1 Cor 14:34.
Ted Warren you're such a hater, Ted
Telissa Balatbat
Yes, I hate lies, false teaching, counterfeit signs, lying wonders, idol worship, and all of the other doctrines of demons at Bethel. You should be a hater of these things also.
God is a hater. Provers 6:16 "There are six things that the Lord HATES, seven that are an abomination to him."
people spend so much time arguing over "truths" ...time better spent building a stronger relationship with godxx
"building a stronger relationship with god" Jesus built our relationship and it is sealed with the Holy Spirit. I cannot get any stronger than that.
lol my point exactly!..i will not debate with u..like i sed in my previous comment.."time better spent!lol Godbless
Efaraima Tuua
You can't argue with me. The truth stands by itself.
Ok then:)
Ted Warren brother you have a spirit that is not of God! It is keeping u from your inheritance,it grieves my heart to see a man who must love the Lord bend his knee to something other than Jesus! I pray from this moment God would literally turn your world upside down and open your eyes to what is using u to try and sow seeds of discord and disrupt the harmony of unity that is taking place amongst his people!! Be free in Jesus name. I believe in u and and love u.
I Love This.... Right when I started watching I wish I could have been there.... Then I continued to watch and it felt like I was there... Awesome!!!
Wow......how beautiful! I find it very sad to read all the negative comments. Interesting they all seem to come from men.......directed toward a beautiful woman, full of the power of God and the beauty of Jesus. But then again, why am I surprised. THIS is the very spirit that crucified Jesus.
Just because she doesn't have sleeves that means she's being sensual?! haha
No, because she does not have any shoes on. Her feet are naked.
Ted Warren Get out of religion please and join relationship. You are speaking like a Pharisee. Worship is intimate which means something not most people really know about. She can only worship based on her relationship with Christ so stop judging. no one is forcing you to watch her videos so next time you want to say something back it up with the Word of God that is the only Truth needed. Stop judge lest ye be judge. David used to Worship naked, was he trying to seduce God or was it a matter of intimacy so please i urge you friend don't talk out of ignorance. When you spend in the presence of a Holy King to allow HIM to teach you to truly worship in Spirit and in truth then and only then will you understand intimacy. I pray that God opens the eyes of your understanding about the difference between religion and relationship. It will change the way you see HIM.
Sylvie Blessing
David was not up on a stage being videotaped to make a name for himself. David did not start a Christian rock band and go on tour. David did not have concerts and charge an admission fee. David did not have a scheduled date and a time to perform for an audience.
So it is YOU that has not intimacy and is the Pharisee here. REAL worship has no set date or time and has no performance to entertain. So please spare me all of your religious nonsense.
Ted, am I sensing a bit of envy? Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. God has anointed her to sing, she is merely using the good gift that comes from God to do that which God has commended all of us to do which is Go preach the Gospel to all nation. The tour is merely an avenue to which God uses to provide for her financially just as God had promised in Matthew 6:33 quoted above. She is putting God first and reaping the fruit of her labor. So don't be so heavenly minded that you know no earthly goods.
So instead of judging her or slandering what don't you pray and ask God to reveal to you what she is doing wrong so that you may intercede on her behalf since we are our brother's keeper. We are called to be like Christ, where is the compassion, actually where are the fruits of the spirit at work? so Pray if you see something is wrong with her worship don't come to spew negativity her with little to no discernment of her spirit. So Be the Change you Desire to SEE in her....
Sylvie Blessing
There is no gift of the Holy Spirit called the gift of singing. No such calling and no such ministry found in the New Testament. So please quit excusing this cult and their seduction.
I find it absolutely baffling that people are having a fit about what she is wearing. She's not wearing anything indecent, nor is she showing anything but her arms. Get over yourselves.
I love Jenn Johnson. I also love how people are trying to fight about her outfit, despite the fact that she's wearing a dress down past her ankles. haha does she need a long train in order to be a good Christian? Amazing how such a wonderful woman of God simply worshiping is receiving this kind of negativity from perverts. I don't know any guy that wasn't grown up in a super legalistic church that ever gets angry at a woman for being beautiful. Any other normal guy would just be listening to the song. There's some weird idea in legalistic churches that as a woman, you can't be both beautiful and a Christian, because it's distracting a few perverted guys who physically aren't able to worship if the singer is pretty. What a satanic idea. Never mind the matter or fights on this (since Jesus definitely wouldn't be found fighting with random people on youtube), this is a wonderful, powerful song.
Why is she center stage? Why the bright orange? No one else brings attention to their form or their clothing on this stage. No comments being made about anyone else. Why is that? No one else is sleeveless. No one else's chest is being accented. No one else is distracting or calling attention to themselves through how they are dressed. Do you have no wisdom whatsoever? Christains are suppose to worship GOD - not her nor her form. She is NOT up there to be LOOKED at!
Ted Warren 2 Timothy 2:23
But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
Ted I know you probably mean well...or maybe you don't...regardless, the dress was worn. Worship went forth. Jenn is still living her life and despite your disapproving comments will continue to dress as she sees fit. In my opinion, if you're that concerned about the way she's dressed then pray for her and let God move by His Holy Spirit to bring about a change. Personally, I think she looks great and I really only took notice of her dress AFTER it was mentioned in the comments! Also, instead of attacking your brothers and sisters (Jenn and other commenters included) reflect on your own "disgusting sins," and remember we're ALL products of grace! God bless!
Jauntae Davis There is nothing ignorant nor foolish about modesty. Maybe you should try reading the context before you post Scriptures.
Ted Warren
ted, it sounds like you are focused on everything BUT jesus. you are in error friend.
and based on the negative, antagonistic comments of yours that ive been reading on everyones comments, that scripture that Jauntae posted for you is truthfully something that you need to think and pray about in this situation. you were not given a voice to bring the church as a whole down.
if Jen Johnson's dress is not modest enough for your taste, simply click away from the video, but God is not angry about it, and is OBVIOUSLY still using this worship for his glory and plan.
i agree that there is nothing ignorant or foolish about modesty, but there is about the way that you've been going about things today.
Omar Jurado Woelz
Omar, I will obey God and HIS wisdom, HIS discernment, and HIS counsel. Many others besides myself have commented on her ungodly and seductive dress. Perhaps you are too gay to be aroused or take notice. Perhaps you do not have the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you have no wisdom from God.
No one is making comments about the way anyone else is dressed up on that stage. Why is that? If it was just being negative and judgmental, then why not comment about how everyone is dressed? Your reply is pathetic rubbish and total foolishness.
What a presence and anointing that comes through her worship.. wonderful to listen to
Oh my! It's sad to read some of these comments! My God people, this music is anointed, from the heart of the Father to His bride. She is showing flesh because she has an ANKLE length dress on and her arms are showing? Lord have mercy, it's almost laughable....smh....religion kills, love heals. Be blessed people of God!
There is no such thing in the Bible as anointed music. 1 Timothy 2:9 says "Women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel."
Why is he addressing women here? You do not think that dress was expensive? Or the gold band on her arm? And if it is form fitting to the breasts, then that in itself is not modest. You have been seduced by the world's standards. Repent.
ummmmmmmmmmm LOL....Seriously dude? I really shouldn't even respond to this foolishness. The Lord is with this woman. Walk in love my friend. Religion has you bound. Touch not thy anointed or do My prophet any harm.
Danielle Michelle AMEN!
This is the sugar coating on the poison pill that is Bethel church. We don't judge things by our feelings but by the word. Is this music professional? Yes!! Are they talented? Yes!! Is their Church Cultic? Yes!! If This group were from a Mormon or JW church would you like it so much? Be careful - examine what the Church teaches by the Bible and the historic Christian faith - it is not the same. Joe
Well, you were nicer than the other guy who commented...He said I was seduced by the world and needed to 'repent'!!!
Omg I need to know the title of this song 😩😩😩😩😩extremely extremely powerful wowww
"Our God Is Strong In Us"
thank you so much . God Bless You
hi brother , Jesus say to you" what about more of my spirit fill your body?, I will bound you with more holy spirit "Amen
+daved bishoy amen bro
People commenting negatively
Pretty sure the exact words of Jesus were
'Now, LOVE ONE ANOTHER'
Not 'let's go onto the internet and look up videos of my children pouring their hearts and souls unto me and say hateful things'
Seriously, get lives.
Learn what the love of God means.
Learn what it means to have the love of God pour through you.
Learn what it is to FEEL the presence of God.
What sad lives you must live full of doctrine with no experience of the LIVING God.
I absolutely love the way I can get an express ticket into the throne room through this kind of worship. Absolutely love it. Praise God.
Seriously mate, get a LIFE.
Was having a rough time studying and some fear started to stress me out. War broke out in my mind, giving me a headache on the left side of my head and this spontaneous song came to my rememberance. After some struggle (thought I couldn't multitask) I decided to pull it up and I IMMEDIATELY felt the presence of God crawl up my left arm and touch my head and give me peace. Always retreat to worship, people!!!!
Singing songs to the Lord is called praise, not worship.
Ted Warren My mistake!
oneildonaldmusic
No problemo!
oneildonaldmusic Worship: Strong's G3000 latreuo, to offer divine service, to minister to God, to serve. Reference Phillipians 3:3 "which worship God in spirit", Acts 24:14, "so worship I the God of my fathers". Proskuneo, to bow down or prostate oneself, is not the only N.T. Bible word for worship. And praise does not always mean singing songs to the Lord; David used (at least) seven different words for praise. Halal, tehillah, towdah, yadah, barak, shabach, and zamar are all translated as "praise" but only two of them involve the vocal cords. In fact, zamar praise is using just the stringed instrument to praise God.

Worship NEVER means to sing songs. That was the point I made. Pay attention next time and you will not be embarrassing yourself so much. Go learn your Bible and quit posting ignorant dribble.
I don't understand why, if someone is so offended or "distracted" by her attire, they don't just find a video that better suites them. If they are looking to worship anyway.
amen!
People are calling her to repentance, just as they should.

How much tighter could that dress be around her breasts? None of the other women on stage are dressed like her. Steffany Frizzle never dresses like that. There have been many comments about the way she dresses on this and the other videos where she always has no sleeves. Why so many comments about how she dresses???? Not one comment about how Steffany Frizzle dresses. You do the math and go get some wisdom from God.
How we dress make a statment of our heart! A true worshiper (not just a song leader) worship with the right heart and lifestyle! l am a woman l know when l surrender to God, fear God, l dare not wear the kind of clothing to get men's attention! To stumble the brothers! Can we Women claim to be fear God continually be ignorance? God said to Some girls very clear He makes men like that we women must dress not to stumble your brothers . l taught my children wear T shirt. Honor our God and live in His standard . 1 thank you brother Ted and some others brothers they speak up with honesty and integrity!
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34
I really needed to hear this today for me . I had one of my blue Days today."Your LOVE is higher than any mountain"
Please disable the comments. Our Lord is not being glorified with the comments.
Please disable this Bethel cult that is not glorifying God but men.
please disable ted's posts that are glorifying his self proclaimed capacity to prove everyone else wrong (of course he is 'never' wrong and wouldn't admit it if he was).

Please "diable"? Prove me wrong from the Bible about Bethel being a cult. Show me a band like Jesus CULTure in the New Testament. Show me and shut me up for good.
Ted Warren
there are no proofs in the bible about what a cult is... can you find the word "cult" in the bible so that you can prove that bethel actually is one? i can't prove they aren't and you cant prove that they are with the scriptures, because they don't specifically address cults. they adress false religions that worship other gods like rah, diana, molech, and others. what you say is a cult comes down to opinion. as far as a band 'like bethel', for 33 years in the tabernacle of david. singers and musicians were paid to minister in song 24/7, with horns, cymbals, stringed instuments, drums, tambourines, dancing, new songs, etc. sounds familiar, maybe?
oh, and the misspell of 'disable' was probably because i was thinking 'diablo' over the way satan uses certain people to slam others continually for posting anything at all positive about bethel...
Scotty C
Oh, do you go to the Temple do you? Afre you Jewish? Did the Temple singers go on tour and charge for their concerts? Did the apostle Paul tell any of the churches to start a band?
It's interesting that so many people have commented on her clothing choices. I feel, too, that she should cover herself a little more. I mean, why would a worship leader want to tempt even one man and draw his thoughts away from God?
Men are tempted by their own desires not by the behavior of others. The Bible says that sin is born when we are carried away and enticed by our own desires. This beautiful woman is not making anybody sin. How awful that anybody would accuse her of this! Sounds to me more like other people are guilty of lust and they want to blame her for it other people are jealous and their comments make them look jealous to everybody that hears them. The Bible says where jealousy is lies every form of evil. I wander how many people that have their finger pointed out at her suppose that God can't see their hearts. Good news for them God knows the hearts of all men yet pursues them with his love. Christ said come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden not come to me all who want to blame someone else for their sin. Women don't make men lust. A hard heart in a man makes a man lust. I suppose if a man can blame women for their lust then they will never be able to be free from lust. Because everywhere you go women are showing their arms LOL and a lot more. Be better off if a man prayed for those women and if a man owned his own lust so it did no longer have to blame women for who he was. Your comment my friend is the old adage you have one finger pointed out and three pointing back and have just told on yourself by the words that came out of your mouth. All I'm hearing you say is I'm lusting after her. Even though you wanted to blame her for who you are. I mean every time you go to the grocery store and you see somebody's arms what does that do for you. Do you have to wear blinders when you go out in public so you won't be tempted by someone else.?! How horrible that you are accusing this girl of tempting people. If you weren't having lustful thoughts you couldn't have made the statement. Anyways I'll have to keep you in my prayers. I pray that God frees you from the lust you so freely accuse others of bestowing on you. I suppose if she was wearing a bikini your statement would be a little bit more acceptable but once again women don't make men lust either men have been freed up from what causes them to lust or they haven't. It's not like she's wearing a sign saying I hope my arms are turning you on. How sad and pathetic. And I guess I don't really know if you're a woman or a guy so could be you're just jealous. do you think God's going to come and get her and do something awful to her because she showed her arms the people. OMG the nerve of others
this is RADICAL worship THAT JESUS WANTED.this is it! this is it!! #forgive for those who want to destroy thoughts of one another.. we love you ..Jesus loves you mire
There is no such thing in the Bible called RADICAL worship. Quit adding to God's word and quit glorifying some man made stage performance. This is NOT what Jesus wanted. Not even close.
Wow, We are so blessed to worship a God that has plans for us. Thank you God for kingdom culture of Honor and worship that has come out of Bethel!
Why do you give Bethel the credit and not the Holy Spirit? Why do you boast in a place? Give glory to GOD ALONE!
Ted Warren "We are bound to THANK GOD ALWAYS FOR YOU, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves GLORY IN YOU in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:" 2Thess 1:3-4. The Bible says it's ok to give glory to God for someone else and what they are doing (unless the apostle Paul is grossly uninformed). If you're going to slam someone for a statement at least be scripturally correct.
3 "We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring."
Paul is not talking about celebrity Christians with their fame and fortune. Paul was boasting in their faith during persecution and tribulation. Singing songs and making big bucks on tour shows zero faith, zero persecution, and zero tribulation. Christian rock stars are nowhere to be found in the Bible. Bethel and Jesus CULTure make a mockery out of true Christianity. It is a farce and a sham.
Ted Warren "We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints," Col 1:3-4. "We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God" 1Thess 1:2-4. Giving thanks to God for someone or a group of people is not restricted to causes of persecution or tribulation; it's still scripturally ok. The point was not whether Bethel is off or not or Christian celebrity, the point was whether or not you had the scriptural grounds to slam him for giving glory to God for the culture of honor and worship that he perceives has come out from a person or group (that WAS your original post, right?). And scripturally you don't. It's wrong, it's hateful, it's unprovoked, and it's not rooted and grounded in the love of Christ.
