My son died... My girl cheated. Then falsely accused me.. my faith is strong. I am trying to stay on track.. finally making money doing what I love... Can I maby pray with you... That's all I want
I am so sorry for your loss and the struggles you are going through. I am praying for you! Psalm 34:18 - The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. God loves you and He heals.
im so sorry brother. you’re a strong individual who has faith and power! don’t forget that and i pray for your beautiful son, he is flourishing with our heavenly father. follow god and keep that strong faith, god bless you. 💕 lord jesus christ give this man all the wonderful gifts that you have for him and continue to shine your love onto him💕
@@stevejung6470 The verse has been criticized for its sexism and its perceived inconsistency with other verses attributed to Paul, such as Galatians 3:28, which states "there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Richard and Catherine Kroeger point to examples of female teachers and leaders known to Paul, such as Priscilla and Phoebe, to support their conclusion that the verse has been mistranslated. Most modern scholars believe 1 Timothy was not actually written by Paul. It is a doctrinal error to exclude women from church leadership and participation in other spheres based on 1 Corinthians 14:33b-36. Arising from this study, women participation should actually go beyond giving those titles and making them leaders of women guilds in the church
Romans 14:17-18 serves as a reminder that focusing on minor issues can prevent people from celebrating and appreciating more important things. Johnny is smart in reminding us that unity is important in the body of Christ. Very grateful to God this was posted! Much needed

@@livinbliss5448 you twist scripture so much to where it looks exactly how you want it. Stop. First commandment is to love God with all your heart, and mind. If you love Him, just trust Him, BELIEVE HIM!!
So true. One day I share my faith with a stranger. A brother said I preached well. I replied, I didn't preach, I just shared what in my heart. Then I realized, I preached without knowing I was preaching 😅😅😅. Who cares what the heck the title is.
The book of 1st Timothy would like to disagree as it clearly says that a man should be a pastor. I think everyone should be a theologian but God has given the role of pastor to men
Deborah, since she was a Judge, was a pastor/shepherd. All this was settled at about 1100 B.C. In all places where I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ -excerpt 1 Chronicles 17 verse 6 NASB translation
@@heavenlyhopeInJesus A woman could only be given the authority by God to execute a man for his sin, if women are spiritually equal to men. A Judge could judge homicide cases according to Deuteronomy. Therefore Deborah, as a Judge, could execute a man for his sin. A Judge's verdict could not be altered or appealed. A Judge was cleared to teach from scripture as he/she gave a verdict, according to Deuteronomy. Since in Judges 4, men went to Deborah to be judged, a woman could teach men, even in the Old Covenant in a public setting. A Judge was REQUIRED in scripture to judge only the hardest of cases. If your beliefs can't explain all this, they must be false. This matter is NOT a 'Covenant matter' but a matter of spiritual equality.
Johnny you truly have a beautiful soul! Thank you for preaching and breaking this down. The lord is truly rejoicing in how many people you have touched with the word ✝️💓
I used to focus on those things back when I didn't know the true Gospel. But im a new creature, so im gonna preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏
AMEN!! You are full of the Holy Spirit. Needed to hear this. I’m reading the book of Acts. Oh it’s so on fire!!! 🔥 it’s SO amazing when you hear the Holy Spirit speak through people. ❤❤❤
Yes brother. In John 4 when Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well. After Jesus counselled with her, she went to the village proclaiming what Jesus had done in her life at that moment, and led people to Him. What God has done in your life is your testament to Him. Share it with the world. No matter if you Woman, Man, White, Black, Chinese, etc. Amen brother 🙏

Thank you, Johnny. God bless you, my brother I love you.🙌🙏❤️👍🏽
I always shared this sentiment. Bless you! Finally, someone who understands the great commission from Christ to preach the gospel to the four corners of the earth...
I like this. As a woman, I was scared that converting to Christianity would make me less than a man. There is a lot of propaganda out there to make women think God loves us less. Not true. Jesus uplifted women and women went around with Paul to preach the gospel. He loves us.
Thank you heavenly Father for using this man for your truths. Thank you bro for BEING REAL. REAL EYES REALIZE REAL LIES. IN JESUS NAME AMEN. KEEP PREACHING BRO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THESE MATTERS. HAVE A BLESSED AND PEACEFUL NIGHT BRO. MAY GOD PROTECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. IN JESUS NAME AMEN
Im female and gave up the title of an office yrs ago ..based on scripture..God showed me in my heart i can do all these same things why do i need to have the title .. and i never turned back since 🙏 we just need focus on the purpose the reason we do it if we need titles to do Goss work says we still have alot of self to surrender before Him.. because God loves all of us but but He has rules also and its for our good and His divine plan for us..

As in all the churches of the saints, the women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.
-excerpt 1 Corinthians 14
In this matter Paul speaks of the 'law'. There is a small possibility that he is
referring to a Roman or local law. If not, then Paul is stating that Christian women were
still under the Old Covenant laws.
Yet there was no Old Covenant law that states that women should be silent.
Then the daughters of Zelophehad...came forward. They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, before the leaders, and all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, “Our father died in the wilderness, yet he was not among the group of those who gathered together against the Lord, in the group of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
