I am a fifteen year old girl and have been writing music and desirering to be a worship leader since I was 8. This video taught me so much. How my heart has to be right and I have to move in the influance of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Brandon Lakes for sharing that, you dont know how much that changed my whole perspective and how I was taught how to lead worship. God is know telling me to be prepard for the doors he is about to open in my life. And thanks to this video I WILL BE READY. Thank you again Brandon, and I love your music.
Wow. It’s been 2 years since you wrote this. I pray you are still partnering with the Lord to prepare you for the amazing doors He will open. He loves you so much and He is faithful to fulfill His Word❤️
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment
Anything can become an idol. Crazy sometimes, isn't it? Holy Spirit set us totally free from all idols and help us fall in love with Jesus and remain in love with Him!! Halellujah!!
The Lord IS searching for those who will worship in Spirit and in Truth....... remember Bride of Christ, Worship is the one thing that goes on from all ETERNITY past,present and future. All means all
Man I love you Brandon, lol but I think this is what you were trying to say: Prophecy is for 1.) edification (building someone up) 2.) exhortation (consolation) 3.) comfort! Edification, exhortation, and comfort. Wether you sing it or just say it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the person you are “Prophesying” to is edified, exhorted, and comforted. Edification, exhortation, comfort! Edification, exhortation, comfort! 1 Corinthians 14:3 So then every song you listen to that comforts you is prophetic. And every scripture that builds you up and every word that destroys the works of the devil and brings peace into someone’s life by lifting them up, and every time you’ve given $2 to a homeless person, and every time you forgive someone...all prophetic. Edification, exhortation, and comfort. Gods words, from Gods voice, from Gods heart/mind. Edification, Exhortation, and Comfort. That’s what He sounds like. Let us be careful hearers.
HHJoshHH thanks bro! If you watch the entire video you’ll hear me talk about how I’m new to these things and growing. Speaking from experience and what God’s teaching me. You sound very experienced by your correction. ;)
Brandon Lake dude just found this GEM and you’re face popped into my head. 🙌🏼✝️😇 Jōb 32:21-22 “don’t let me lift up another man, I beg you, don’t let me give flattering titles to men. For I know not to give flattering titles to men because my Maker would take me away.”-Elihu (“my God is He” in Hebrew) God addresses Jōb and his 3 friends but never mentions Elihu. That’s the name of the dude God never even acknowledges when He starts talking in chapter like 38 I think! And God never says anything about Elihu at all!!!! And when Elihu and God talk they sound the same! Towards the end of Elihu’s speech it starts sounding like Gods whole speech. And remember Elihu means “my God is He?” Dude..... I’m getting a Melchizedek vibe for sure!
That is so true. Brandon. Too many soul songs on the radio. Rather hear. Worship and praise music. Thank you for your music . God bless you and family.
This is so good. Everything always falls back into intimacy! And the greatest thing is intimacy is something that will always progress. It’s always in a state of progression! Thank you so much for uploading this! ❤️
Kayla Wiebe many of the practical know how is based on really loving the bride of Christ. Scriptural references can be 1 cor 13, 1 cor 14 and John 13. You may not agree with all of it but lots of the practicalities are founded on principles of the Word. Maybe we will not agree on this as Christians but let’s not judge and fight over this. I’d rather have a face to face conversation about these things. Awareness is important but if you listen closely its not really sketchy in my opinion.
It's sad that I seem to always see the most arguments and division on Christian content. We are ALL the body of Christ as Christians, we are ALL the church as Christians. We can sit and argue and pick apart everything other people say or we can come together as children of God and be like Jesus! Please stop and think about whether your comments and arguing are necessary and whether they glorify God. United we stand, divided we fall. Love you all!
I don’t think it’s division. When someone errs and improperly exegetes Scripture we do have the responsibility to point that out. We should cite Scripture to our brother and sister in error and give him the grace and opportunity to respond. When there is a lack ir response there is a lack of humility. Dialogue is very important.
...be like Jesus! But He (Jesus) turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.” Matthew 16:23
"Creating cool WOW moments...." No this is not what we are called to do. Worship is to God for God and about God. Praying for these influential people that the Lord would use them and they not use God.
You don't need to do any of what Brandon is saying to lead worship effectively. Reading the Bible and teaching the word is prophesying, so you don't feel like you need to go above and beyond to speak things into someone's life.. You don't need to feel emotional. You don't need long winded, emotional prayers or speeches. You don't have to feel like your struggling because you don't feel the "rumbling" of the holy spirit. You don't need to adopt the latest contemporary Christian music. You don't even need to like Christian music! All you need to do is sing about God and Jesus, teach the Truth through His word, and show his love to people. That's it. Wherever God is being honored, that's where the holy spirit is. Don't be caught by the lie that you need to feel something to feel like you're worshipping or honoring God.
What do you mean reading the bible and teaching is prophecying? Wheres that definition come from? Paul definitely separates teaching and prophecying as 2 separate things.
Adam Bowman the Bible doesn’t necessarily call it “activating” but we can find impartation as a means to activating. Paul reminded Timothy that you should stir up the gift that was given by the laying on of the hands through the presbytery.
Wow... Yes.. This is why I don't do the worship team anymore . pressure to perform and its no fun as well as no creativity allowed sadly and don't worship, "worship"...yes!
Why does everyone attack his latest song it supposedly says I've seen metal plates dissolve granted I haven't seen those lyrics in that song. And because he has a home church I think that separates him from bethel's ideology. Unfortunately nobody sees it that way which is stupid. Sorry but this man is a worshipper leave the guy alone
Activate sounds so wrong , because its self focus not God focused.Bible tells us to pray to God for gifts. No where in the bible did anyone active gifts. They where given the gifts . God is the giver. This teaching sounds like mans effort to gain gifts that are not in the bible but added by man. I have felt so lost in trying to find the gifts people have because they sound spirit filled yet I look in the word and they are not there. Doesnt God say not to add anything, so when I look at this it makes me wonder are some people adding to the word of God. God wrote in His word what are the gift of the Holy Spirit and this teaching is not there. The Holy Spirit is in charge if we get a gift. It will just happen you dont have to practice it because the devil also speaks in your mind. Dont open yourself to anything. Ask God for discernment
Sundays have gotton a living room stigma you come to church your comfortable…but to really get in the Fathers face and get in that intimate time with the father you gotta have a bedroom mentality, because intimacy happens in the bedroom
Believers nowadays thrive to be grandiose. Everyone wants to be a preacher/worship leader or prophetic. Simple acts of service are not cool anymore (Didn’t watch the video yet)
What did apostols asked Jesus to teach them how to worship or how to pray? What does devil fear most: prayer or a worship? What did Jesus told apostols when they fall asleep in the Gethsemane before Jesus was taken by pharisees and Roman's soldiers? Math. 26: 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" Worshipping is good but we are the followers Jesus Christ and His teachings were focused on prayer; a prayer that is building relationship with our God, Jesus Christ and Holly Spirit.
Amen we sing to God because of his goodness and our trust that he is faithful to do as he says and as he has done in the past for either others in the Bible or around us or ourselves. Thankyou for your reminder brother. Keeping it simple with trusting God knowing our needs and withholding no good thing from his children, and worshiping him as we were created to do and by his mercy and Grace we can sing with all his creation all that has breath praising him the angels the rocks the trees the birds everything. Glorifying God loving our brothers and sisters and sharing what Jesus shared nothing else. The Holy Spirit leads us in all of this truth. God Jesus Holy Spirit Trusting them faith is trusting them. I have to leave these people explaining things of God No interpretation or opinion Just give me the Bible and the Holy Spirit as my interpreter The holy spirit as my comforter The holy spirit as my reminder The holy spirit as my empowerer To keep living for all that Jesus did for me Glory to God alone forever and ever and ever That every knee bow and every tongue confess he is Lord Forever and ever long live Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah and son of the Living God, the God of Israel. God creator of the whole earth. Them alone be praised Bless you brother continue after him 🙌🦁👑🕊🔥✝️
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, and drive out demons in Your name, and perform many miracles in Your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’”-- Not judging anyone. Which "Jesus" do you know? There are many, many false jesus's that people believe in. If you don't think the devil can deceive people into believing in a false jesus then wake up! Matthew 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will lead many astray.-- Can we define our "Jesus" in our image or must we relate with The Messiah of Scripture? If Messiah kept God's Law then can His followers turn their nose to it and say, "the law has been nailed to the cross, and the law is done away with", thereby living a life of lawlessness? We aren't saved by anything other than His blood but we would be wise to follow Messiah and strive to keep the commandments. There is only One and He kept what was written from Genesis on... what are you trying to do? Who do you follow? So called prophets or The King of kings?
Christ Jesus has indeed fulfilled the law! I am convinced by his words in John 14, and particularly in John 15 starting with verse 10: "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." We are set free from the law by the completed work of Christ. "For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). We are set free that his joy may be in us, and that we, then, are even _capable_ of remaining in his love by loving one another. "Those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:8) -- and this is what it means to seek righteousness through the law, in our flesh. And though Jesus doesn't abolish the law, he does fulfill it (Matthew 5:17); both the requirement and the penalty! Once for all (Hebrews 10:10)! Praise Jesus for his freedom! And this is not freedom to continue in sin (Romans 6:15), but freedom to live according to the Spirit rather than the flesh. I accomplish nothing of value without him (John 15:5). Keeping a sabbath or any of the Father's commandments is futile without recognizing that I can never come to him or please him without accepting the freedom that he gives. If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:35). The grace of God continues in abundance in Romans 7, 8, 9, 10, 11... Galatians 5... Philippians 3... a little leaven leavens the whole lump; why follow any who would lead us back under the law? Jesus says then and he says now, "Beware the yeast of the Pharisees." Galatians 5: "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love." Praise God for his goodness and the hope of righteousness that we have in Christ!
@@tristanolive“The time is coming,” says Adonai Elohim, “when I will send famine over the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Adonai . - Amos 8:11 For although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the very first principles of God’s Word all over again! You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who has to drink milk is still a baby, without experience in applying the Word about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish good from evil. - Hebrews 5:12-14 Are you content with being an immature infant believer that splashes around in the shallows? Or do you desire to go deep into the depth of Spirit? Are you content with staying a baby (born again baby). Grow up! Get off the bottle of the milk and start eating solid food. Salvation is a free gift. Without being born again, no human will be in the Kingdom. However, walking out your salvation is all about your actions. KEEPING AND TEACHING ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS WILL MAKE YOU GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Is Yeshua (Jesus) a liar? He said, "Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:19 In the final chapter of the Bible The King of Kings said, “Pay attention!” [says Yeshua,] “I am coming soon, and My rewards are with Me to give to each person according to what he has done. - Revelation 22:12 It's all about the Gospel of THE ETERNAL KINGDOM, not being "set free" on planet earth. Grow up!
My Children Amos was not prophesying about those with childlike faith in Christ, but those who read the Law and the Prophets with a veil over their eyes, not seeing that Christ was hidden even there-and now he is right before them! Yet still they search for him, growing weary as they wander. Hebrews 5 is excellent! And chapter 6 contains a warning in verse 6, that we not turn from the heavenly gift. Galatians 3:3-5: Does God give the Holy Spirit because we obey the law? And having begun in the Spirit, are we now moving on to being perfected in the flesh? Hebrews 8: God has made a new covenant with us. In the newness of his mercy, he has fulfilled both sides of the old covenant-his part and that of Israel. He does not break promises, but he fulfills them to absolute completion, even if we failed to do the same. All it requires is faith in Christ, working through love. I am fully content to be a little child of promise, and even that only by the great love and mercy of God, who has grafted me, a wild olive branch, into his cultivated tree! I have nothing else by which to cling, I am no offspring of Abraham. But the King’s proposal was rejected, and so I was given the invitation... a dog like me, even! Praise Jesus! So I long to know the depths of his love, but no, not the depths of my fleshly works and the yeast of the Pharisees. Jesus, being God cannot lie (see Hebrews 6:18), as you well know. Matthew 5:19 is pure truth and so is Matthew 5:20. We don’t enter into the Kingdom of Heaven at all by our own righteous works of the law, amen. Even the contempt for others in our own hearts condemns us to judgement, if we seek justification by the law. But hope in Revelation 22 exists in faith, that by being washed clean of my sin by the blood of Christ-by the new covenant in his blood-I will enter the gates of that city and eat of the tree of life! I will attend the wedding feast of the Lamb, thank you, Lord! And I join now with the Spirit and the Bride and my brother John and say, “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”
@@mychildren5968 I think I messed up my reply a few days ago and didn't tag you, so apologies if it seemed I left you no answer. Please see that comment for more of what I feel the Spirit has revealed to me about the law and freedom following what you shared. I want to say something now in defense of my brother Brandon in this video. I don't subscribe to all the practices and works of Bethel as they are not my convictions and, well, sometimes my judgement says these things are out of bounds, per 1 Corinthians 10:23: "All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. Even still, let me encourage you to rejoice in Christ because his name is proclaimed, as in Philippians 1: "Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice." Praise you, Lord, that your great name is indeed reaching the ends of the earth and hastening the day of your Kingdom, when we will see you not dimly through a mirror, but face to face! May the depths of your love bind us together in unity. What is impossible for man, is possible with you, amen!
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another...” What a tragedy: to memorize the book backwards and forwards, but have no love for the AUTHOR or His Readers. Keep trying folks, I pray one day you all flunk out of “Pharisee School” and graduate to being full time disciples of Jesus. He’s a lot kinder and definitely more loving than any of you.
To my brothers and sisters at Bethel: I wouldn’t blame you one bit for turning off the comment section of your videos. I know this is not the heart of Pastor Bill or anyone associated with the Worship Ministry of Bethel. Do know I love you all and appreciate your obedience to God.... Blessings.
Respectfully, yes, I believe this is exactly where bill’s heart is. This is bad theology. And bethel, calling them brothers and sisters, no. Not everyone that throws the name of Christ out there is a Christian.
@@JoseRamos-rj9dd I gave my life to the Lord at the age of 9, through the person of Jesus Christ and have followed him whole heartedly for 41 years. If you have done the same, are you my brother in the body of Christ?
I think Alot of new charismatic music Is good. But, take the phrase "I am going to see a victory because the battle belongs to the Lord." Actually, you may not see the fruits of your victory cause it wasn't yours to begin with. The victory totally belongs to Jesus Christ all the time.
I think he has a relationship with god otherwise he wouldnt be writing and it's sad people will discredit prophetic worship there is a ton of value in prophetic worship
Wow...so many judgements against Brandon, his clothes, his tattoos...I SUPPOSE YOURE ALL ABOVE REPROACH AND WHO CARES!!!! He is REAL! Which is more than I can say about the uppity judgmental comments from holier than thou so called Christians!! This is why I left the church...the most unsafe container I've ever experienced... JESUS IS ABOUT LOVE...NO MATTER WHAT!!♥️♥️♥️ I don't need scriptures that have been manipulated by MAN to conform to in order to have someone hold power over me.
Jesus is all about love ? Read Matthew 23, psalm 2, psalm 37 and other and see what the prophets speak. God is love but also consuming fire, a God of Devine anger and wrath and vengeance, kind to the one who turns and harsh to the one who is wicked, and this man, with all due respect is even laughing and joking about matters and things NOONE should be joking around, apart from the very bad theology.
@@braylonemerson3422 I meant NO ONE like NOBODY, like not even one and that sort of thing . Thanks for the grammar lesson my beloved friend Mr. Prolio.
@@iniolulope1215 Lol! Offended much? Nobody is being a snot. It's biblical truth & if we aren't teaching or preaching that than we need just stay quiet.
“Activating” is simply the ACT of communicating the word to others. Yes, if God has given you a word, sitting on it is not “activating” it. Whether you sing it, paint it, or speak it, etc you are activating it. We have a choice to step out with it.
@@iniolulope1215 I'm going to assume you are about 10 years old or at least acting like it so on that note we'll end this conversation here. However... keep in mind that your childish behavior is not only reflecting poorly on you but always on Christians. If you're trying to defend Bethel, you dropped the ball. Severely...
Activating is simple communicating what The Holy Spirit gave you to speak to the people....not your own words. Speaking your truth and not the truth of God is very dangerous. That’s why he mentions intimacy with the Father... without it you are just speaking empty words.
Did he get it after he was born again? If not, None of us came to Christ clean! Should he not worship or speak because he has tattoos? I have inward scars from my past that do not show like his tattoos. I'm sure you have scars as well, some scars will not disappear when you get saved. Did you even pray and ask the Lord if He has a problem with the tattoos? I wouldn't agree with getting a tattoo now that we are saved but don't be quick to look on the outward appearance.
Anything can be. Tattoos in the Old Testament where used by idol worshippers, but we under the new covenant can reappropriate that if our hearts while doing it are in service to God. I think.
@@ebubechukwuolalere9843 I don't agree with this. While we are under a new covenant, we should use the principles of the old to learn from. What God is look for is a heart devoted to Him and His people. Rather than marking up your skin, how about work on your heart and love for Him and His people. A tattoo means nothing if inwardly you have no love. He didn't say get tattoos but He said love Him with all your heart and mind.
Doreen Quelch I agree totally, but marking up your skin and loving God aren’t mutually exclusive. And under that new covenant we are free from the old law as Jesus came to fulfill it by reminding us that the state of our hearts is more important than obedience of the law although that obedience is still necessary. However, following that I think so many things can be argued like not eating meat or wearing jeans at all or worshipping God when you’re in your period. The things that would before have rendered us unclean no longer do. So I’m not necessarily arguing with you about the morality of tattoos. I’m saying that they among so many other things are no longer metrics of righteousness because that righteousness is solely because of God’s grace and mercy.
Oh I get it.. you have to practice prophecy for God to use you as a prophet. Good golly, I wonder how long the old testament prophets had to practice to get it right enough to be included in the bible...??? Where does the bible teach us to practice prophecy? Prophecy is God talking through someone with His word. NOT stuff we have practiced... This stuff is voodoo magic and should be put as far from your spirit as you can get?
I’m surprised he didn’t pass out from his circulation being cut off from his ridiculously tight pants. Seriously.. for the sake of your health and your kids future.. go up a few sizes.
Where in the New Testament do you see the words “prophetic worship”? This guy thinks that the sign gifts are still here, when in fact they have ceased at the close of the canon. The King James Bible clearly teaches that a man is not supposed to be covered in long hair (I Corinthians 11:4, 7, 14). Only the women are supposed to be covered in long hair. This guy reminds me of the weird church of Bethel with their strange unbiblical Pentecostal teachings.
@@chigo_e , the Bible says long hair is a kind of ornament for woman , not for man ( 1st Cor.11 : 14 , 15 , accurate translation from André Chouraqui Bible version ).
@Jessica Mizell Jessica, did you read the above scripture, God says there is something wrong, you say there isn't - you or God? No contest. (if you don't believe in God that's fine with me, but it would be great if you gave Him a chance)
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7
This is so gooooood!

PROFOUND!! "Our primary call is not to Ministry, it is to Intimacy".
That statement is so theologically inaccurate it’s honestly concerning.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment
So good! “don’t worship - worship!”
Anything can become an idol. Crazy sometimes, isn't it?
Holy Spirit set us totally free from all idols and help us fall in love with Jesus and remain in love with Him!! Halellujah!!
"Your primary call is not to ministry, but to intimacy. Everything has to flow out of that intimacy" 🙌
Me and our team testify to that the prophecy because we are impacted by your songs all the way here in Ethiopia!
The Lord IS searching for those who will worship in Spirit and in Truth....... remember Bride of Christ, Worship is the one thing that goes on from all ETERNITY past,present and future. All means all
"Trying sing from a dried up desert heart is very difficult." I now that's right.
I love how he ministers, even with his music 💝
Just as the prophetic word we have been blessed by your songs all the way from East Africa, Ethiopia.
Man I love you Brandon, lol but I think this is what you were trying to say:
Prophecy is for 1.) edification (building someone up) 2.) exhortation (consolation) 3.) comfort!
Edification, exhortation, and comfort.
Wether you sing it or just say it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the person you are “Prophesying” to is edified, exhorted, and comforted.
Edification, exhortation, comfort!
Edification, exhortation, comfort!
1 Corinthians 14:3
So then every song you listen to that comforts you is prophetic. And every scripture that builds you up and every word that destroys the works of the devil and brings peace into someone’s life by lifting them up, and every time you’ve given $2 to a homeless person, and every time you forgive someone...all prophetic. Edification, exhortation, and comfort.
Gods words, from Gods voice, from Gods heart/mind. Edification, Exhortation, and Comfort. That’s what He sounds like.
Let us be careful hearers.
Amen . On point
HHJoshHH thanks bro! If you watch the entire video you’ll hear me talk about how I’m new to these things and growing. Speaking from experience and what God’s teaching me. You sound very experienced by your correction. ;)

I know that you may be critical of Bethel but I can assure you that nothing that Brandon says in this video is unbiblical.

Amen! Bethel is very sketchy and should be looked into
Kayla Wiebe many of the practical know how is based on really loving the bride of Christ. Scriptural references can be 1 cor 13, 1 cor 14 and John 13.

Are you saying people shouldn’t question what is being said by various ministers?
I don’t think it’s division. When someone errs and improperly exegetes Scripture we do have the responsibility to point that out. We should cite Scripture to our brother and sister in error and give him the grace and opportunity to respond. When there is a lack ir response there is a lack of humility. Dialogue is very important.
...be like Jesus!
But He (Jesus) turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.” Matthew 16:23
Thank you Brandon
.very wise and True words..God Bless you.🙏🙏.💖❤🙏🙏🙏
Wow I just bumped into this learning alot .Thank you
Awesome!! Thank you for this ❤️🙏🏾✨
"We have to be careful not to worship worship." Ouch, that'll preach!
I'm really enjoying this🙏
So much great teachings!
I love Brandon ❤️
So true 🙏🏻💕
I have been trying to figure this out..wish you would do more on this topic
This is sooo good!!!
Under the influence, yes amen.
You got that right. Nail on the head.
Wow this is really helpful! I would love to see more content like this
This is so good!!!! 💗
So good!
"Creating cool WOW moments...." No this is not what we are called to do. Worship is to God for God and about God. Praying for these influential people that the Lord would use them and they not use God.
he said that. he said that's what he started doing and then had to refine himself to be in alignment with the Word and Spirit of God and not himself
Dang! I really needed this ❤️
BL guard your heart brother. We need your humility and gift so much. Thanks for sharing so courageously.
You don't need to do any of what Brandon is saying to lead worship effectively. Reading the Bible and teaching the word is prophesying, so you don't feel like you need to go above and beyond to speak things into someone's life.. You don't need to feel emotional. You don't need long winded, emotional prayers or speeches. You don't have to feel like your struggling because you don't feel the "rumbling" of the holy spirit. You don't need to adopt the latest contemporary Christian music. You don't even need to like Christian music!
All you need to do is sing about God and Jesus, teach the Truth through His word, and show his love to people. That's it. Wherever God is being honored, that's where the holy spirit is. Don't be caught by the lie that you need to feel something to feel like you're worshipping or honoring God.
What do you mean reading the bible and teaching is prophecying? Wheres that definition come from? Paul definitely separates teaching and prophecying as 2 separate things.
Worship advice from Jason Mamoa! Love your movies man😉
Bahahahaha
Please I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 there was no reason for it to be this funny
What does God's word say about activating??
Adam Bowman the Bible doesn’t necessarily call it “activating” but we can find impartation as a means to activating. Paul reminded Timothy that you should stir up the gift that was given by the laying on of the hands through the presbytery.
Cool. Thank you. What are you feeding on. How often are you feeding?
Do you have any resources, help, encouragement, etc on being Led by the Spirit as an Anointed Musician?
Wow... Yes.. This is why I don't do the worship team anymore
. pressure to perform and its no fun as well as no creativity allowed sadly and don't worship, "worship"...yes!
Please read my comments. Don’t let this discourage you.
Omg lift vs distract the presence🤯
This is helpful
Amen!! ❤🙏

Why does everyone attack his latest song it supposedly says I've seen metal plates dissolve granted I haven't seen those lyrics in that song. And because he has a home church I think that separates him from bethel's ideology. Unfortunately nobody sees it that way which is stupid. Sorry but this man is a worshipper leave the guy alone
Activate sounds so wrong , because its self focus not God focused.Bible tells us to pray to God for gifts. No where in the bible did anyone active gifts. They where given the gifts . God is the giver. This teaching sounds like mans effort to gain gifts that are not in the bible but added by man. I have felt so lost in trying to find the gifts people have because they sound spirit filled yet I look in the word and they are not there. Doesnt God say not to add anything, so when I look at this it makes me wonder are some people adding to the word of God. God wrote in His word what are the gift of the Holy Spirit and this teaching is not there. The Holy Spirit is in charge if we get a gift. It will just happen you dont have to practice it because the devil also speaks in your mind. Dont open yourself to anything. Ask God for discernment
Twisted Scripture in tha house!
Sundays have gotton a living room stigma you come to church your comfortable…but to really get in the Fathers face and get in that intimate time with the father you gotta have a bedroom mentality, because intimacy happens in the bedroom
Believers nowadays thrive to be grandiose. Everyone wants to be a preacher/worship leader or prophetic. Simple acts of service are not cool anymore
(Didn’t watch the video yet)
What did apostols asked Jesus to teach them how to worship or how to pray? What does devil fear most: prayer or a worship? What did Jesus told apostols when they fall asleep in the Gethsemane before Jesus was taken by pharisees and Roman's soldiers? Math. 26: 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" Worshipping is good but we are the followers Jesus Christ and His teachings were focused on prayer; a prayer that is building relationship with our God, Jesus Christ and Holly Spirit.
worship and prayer are not seperate but interconnected. to pray is to worship and to worship is prayer
Amen we sing to God because of his goodness and our trust that he is faithful to do as he says and as he has done in the past for either others in the Bible or around us or ourselves. Thankyou for your reminder brother. Keeping it simple with trusting God knowing our needs and withholding no good thing from his children, and worshiping him as we were created to do and by his mercy and Grace we can sing with all his creation all that has breath praising him the angels the rocks the trees the birds everything. Glorifying God loving our brothers and sisters and sharing what Jesus shared nothing else. The Holy Spirit leads us in all of this truth. God Jesus Holy Spirit
Trusting them faith is trusting them.
I have to leave these people explaining things of God
No interpretation or opinion
Just give me the Bible and the Holy Spirit as my interpreter
The holy spirit as my comforter
The holy spirit as my reminder
The holy spirit as my empowerer
To keep living for all that Jesus did for me
Glory to God alone forever and ever and ever
That every knee bow and every tongue confess he is Lord
Forever and ever long live
Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah and son of the Living God, the God of Israel. God creator of the whole earth.
Them alone be praised
Bless you brother continue after him 🙌🦁👑🕊🔥✝️

How to activate my super saiyan power?
OMG😆😆😆
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, and drive out demons in Your name, and perform many miracles in Your name?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’”--
Not judging anyone. Which "Jesus" do you know? There are many, many false jesus's that people believe in. If you don't think the devil can deceive people into believing in a false jesus then wake up!
Matthew 24:5
For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will lead many astray.--
Can we define our "Jesus" in our image or must we relate with The Messiah of Scripture? If Messiah kept God's Law then can His followers turn their nose to it and say, "the law has been nailed to the cross, and the law is done away with", thereby living a life of lawlessness?
We aren't saved by anything other than His blood but we would be wise to follow Messiah and strive to keep the commandments. There is only One and He kept what was written from Genesis on... what are you trying to do? Who do you follow? So called prophets or The King of kings?
Sadly leading people to worship 'another Jesus'.
Christ Jesus has indeed fulfilled the law! I am convinced by his words in John 14, and particularly in John 15 starting with verse 10:
"If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."
We are set free from the law by the completed work of Christ. "For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). We are set free that his joy may be in us, and that we, then, are even _capable_ of remaining in his love by loving one another. "Those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:8) -- and this is what it means to seek righteousness through the law, in our flesh. And though Jesus doesn't abolish the law, he does fulfill it (Matthew 5:17); both the requirement and the penalty! Once for all (Hebrews 10:10)! Praise Jesus for his freedom! And this is not freedom to continue in sin (Romans 6:15), but freedom to live according to the Spirit rather than the flesh. I accomplish nothing of value without him (John 15:5). Keeping a sabbath or any of the Father's commandments is futile without recognizing that I can never come to him or please him without accepting the freedom that he gives. If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:35).
The grace of God continues in abundance in Romans 7, 8, 9, 10, 11... Galatians 5... Philippians 3... a little leaven leavens the whole lump; why follow any who would lead us back under the law? Jesus says then and he says now, "Beware the yeast of the Pharisees."
Galatians 5: "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love."
Praise God for his goodness and the hope of righteousness that we have in Christ!
@@tristanolive“The time is coming,” says Adonai Elohim, “when I will send famine over the land, not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Adonai . - Amos 8:11
For although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the very first principles of God’s Word all over again! You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who has to drink milk is still a baby, without experience in applying the Word about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish good from evil. - Hebrews 5:12-14
Are you content with being an immature infant believer that splashes around in the shallows? Or do you desire to go deep into the depth of Spirit? Are you content with staying a baby (born again baby). Grow up! Get off the bottle of the milk and start eating solid food.
Salvation is a free gift. Without being born again, no human will be in the Kingdom. However, walking out your salvation is all about your actions. KEEPING AND TEACHING ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS WILL MAKE YOU GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Is Yeshua (Jesus) a liar? He said, "Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:19
In the final chapter of the Bible The King of Kings said,
“Pay attention!” [says Yeshua,] “I am coming soon, and My rewards are with Me to give to each person according to what he has done. - Revelation 22:12
It's all about the Gospel of THE ETERNAL KINGDOM, not being "set free" on planet earth. Grow up!
My Children Amos was not prophesying about those with childlike faith in Christ, but those who read the Law and the Prophets with a veil over their eyes, not seeing that Christ was hidden even there-and now he is right before them! Yet still they search for him, growing weary as they wander.
Hebrews 5 is excellent! And chapter 6 contains a warning in verse 6, that we not turn from the heavenly gift. Galatians 3:3-5: Does God give the Holy Spirit because we obey the law? And having begun in the Spirit, are we now moving on to being perfected in the flesh? Hebrews 8: God has made a new covenant with us. In the newness of his mercy, he has fulfilled both sides of the old covenant-his part and that of Israel. He does not break promises, but he fulfills them to absolute completion, even if we failed to do the same. All it requires is faith in Christ, working through love.
I am fully content to be a little child of promise, and even that only by the great love and mercy of God, who has grafted me, a wild olive branch, into his cultivated tree! I have nothing else by which to cling, I am no offspring of Abraham. But the King’s proposal was rejected, and so I was given the invitation... a dog like me, even! Praise Jesus! So I long to know the depths of his love, but no, not the depths of my fleshly works and the yeast of the Pharisees. Jesus, being God cannot lie (see Hebrews 6:18), as you well know. Matthew 5:19 is pure truth and so is Matthew 5:20. We don’t enter into the Kingdom of Heaven at all by our own righteous works of the law, amen. Even the contempt for others in our own hearts condemns us to judgement, if we seek justification by the law.
But hope in Revelation 22 exists in faith, that by being washed clean of my sin by the blood of Christ-by the new covenant in his blood-I will enter the gates of that city and eat of the tree of life! I will attend the wedding feast of the Lamb, thank you, Lord! And I join now with the Spirit and the Bride and my brother John and say, “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”
@@mychildren5968 I think I messed up my reply a few days ago and didn't tag you, so apologies if it seemed I left you no answer. Please see that comment for more of what I feel the Spirit has revealed to me about the law and freedom following what you shared. I want to say something now in defense of my brother Brandon in this video.
I don't subscribe to all the practices and works of Bethel as they are not my convictions and, well, sometimes my judgement says these things are out of bounds, per 1 Corinthians 10:23: "All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up.
Even still, let me encourage you to rejoice in Christ because his name is proclaimed, as in Philippians 1:
"Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice."
Praise you, Lord, that your great name is indeed reaching the ends of the earth and hastening the day of your Kingdom, when we will see you not dimly through a mirror, but face to face! May the depths of your love bind us together in unity. What is impossible for man, is possible with you, amen!
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another...” What a tragedy: to memorize the book backwards and forwards, but have no love for the AUTHOR or His Readers. Keep trying folks, I pray one day you all flunk out of “Pharisee School” and graduate to being full time disciples of Jesus. He’s a lot kinder and definitely more loving than any of you.
To my brothers and sisters at Bethel: I wouldn’t blame you one bit for turning off the comment section of your videos. I know this is not the heart of Pastor Bill or anyone associated with the Worship Ministry of Bethel. Do know I love you all and appreciate your obedience to God.... Blessings.
Respectfully, yes, I believe this is exactly where bill’s heart is. This is bad theology. And bethel, calling them brothers and sisters, no. Not everyone that throws the name of Christ out there is a Christian.
@@JoseRamos-rj9dd Do you know Bill Johnson personally?
@@JoseRamos-rj9dd how do throw the name of Christ?
@@JoseRamos-rj9dd I gave my life to the Lord at the age of 9, through the person of Jesus Christ and have followed him whole heartedly for 41 years. If you have done the same, are you my brother in the body of Christ?
No. I don’t. But I know very well where he stands theologically.
I think Alot of new charismatic music Is good. But, take the phrase "I am going to see a victory because the battle belongs to the Lord." Actually, you may not see the fruits of your victory cause it wasn't yours to begin with. The victory totally belongs to Jesus Christ all the time.
Can you find it, in context, IN the Bible? If not... don't do it/say it! Other spirits -- seducing spirits -- can and DO work through people too.

JESUS IS ABOUT LOVE...NO MATTER WHAT!!♥️♥️♥️ I don't need scriptures that have been manipulated by MAN to conform to in order to have someone hold power over me.
Jesus is all about love ? Read Matthew 23, psalm 2, psalm 37 and other and see what the prophets speak. God is love but also consuming fire, a God of Devine anger and wrath and vengeance, kind to the one who turns and harsh to the one who is wicked, and this man, with all due respect is even laughing and joking about matters and things NOONE should be joking around, apart from the very bad theology.

@@iniolulope1215 This kind of stuff is exactly how and why you have people running giving false words of prophecy. It's dangerous!
“Activating” is simply the ACT of communicating the word to others. Yes, if God has given you a word, sitting on it is not “activating” it. Whether you sing it, paint it, or speak it, etc you are activating it. We have a choice to step out with it.
@@iniolulope1215 I'm going to assume you are about 10 years old or at least acting like it so on that note we'll end this conversation here. However... keep in mind that your childish behavior is not only reflecting poorly on you but always on Christians. If you're trying to defend Bethel, you dropped the ball. Severely...
Activating is simple communicating what The Holy Spirit gave you to speak to the people....not your own words. Speaking your truth and not the truth of God is very dangerous. That’s why he mentions intimacy with the Father... without it you are just speaking empty words.
Question: is tattoo a worship expression to God?
Did he get it after he was born again? If not, None of us came to Christ clean! Should he not worship or speak because he has tattoos? I have inward scars from my past that do not show like his tattoos. I'm sure you have scars as well, some scars will not disappear when you get saved. Did you even pray and ask the Lord if He has a problem with the tattoos? I wouldn't agree with getting a tattoo now that we are saved but don't be quick to look on the outward appearance.
nemo bahari I believe it can be. I’ve been a born again believer for a few years now and I’m about to get a cross tattoo on my shoulder.
Anything can be. Tattoos in the Old Testament where used by idol worshippers, but we under the new covenant can reappropriate that if our hearts while doing it are in service to God. I think.
@@ebubechukwuolalere9843 I don't agree with this. While we are under a new covenant, we should use the principles of the old to learn from. What God is look for is a heart devoted to Him and His people. Rather than marking up your skin, how about work on your heart and love for Him and His people. A tattoo means nothing if inwardly you have no love. He didn't say get tattoos but He said love Him with all your heart and mind.
Doreen Quelch I agree totally, but marking up your skin and loving God aren’t mutually exclusive.
And under that new covenant we are free from the old law as Jesus came to fulfill it by reminding us that the state of our hearts is more important than obedience of the law although that obedience is still necessary. However, following that I think so many things can be argued like not eating meat or wearing jeans at all or worshipping God when you’re in your period. The things that would before have rendered us unclean no longer do.
So I’m not necessarily arguing with you about the morality of tattoos. I’m saying that they among so many other things are no longer metrics of righteousness because that righteousness is solely because of God’s grace and mercy.
You dont activate anything. God has given instructions how he is to be worshipped. Read the Bible and Obey!
RUN from this false teaching. So unbiblical and blasphemous.
No
Not many should teach...
Tell me you’re gullible without telling me you’re gullible.
Folks this is not sound Biblical teaching. You are deceived if you believe this is anywhere close to being God ordained teaching.
Oh I get it.. you have to practice prophecy for God to use you as a prophet. Good golly, I wonder how long the old testament prophets had to practice to get it right enough to be included in the bible...??? Where does the bible teach us to practice prophecy? Prophecy is God talking through someone with His word. NOT stuff we have practiced... This stuff is voodoo magic and should be put as far from your spirit as you can get?

Where in the New Testament do you see the words “prophetic worship”? This guy thinks that the sign gifts are still here, when in fact they have ceased at the close of the canon. The King James Bible clearly teaches that a man is not supposed to be covered in long hair (I Corinthians 11:4, 7, 14). Only the women are supposed to be covered in long hair. This guy reminds me of the weird church of Bethel with their strange unbiblical Pentecostal teachings.
