It is so great to hear them talk about the character of a person as opposed to one's qualification. It is character that qualifies not skill, because God is the one who qualifies the un-qualifiable through sovereign choice and through His Holy Spirit building their character. He gives them the desire and then builds them through ongoing sanctification. To many people want to be preachers/pastors because they seek the lime light and what they see. Whether on tv or in their own local assembly where the pastor is on a pedestal and is the one who is being served instead of serving. The Holy Spirit really used their intelligence to teach what is calling and what it looks like biblically through the eyes and heart of God's Holy Spirit. Amen Pastors. Amen!!!
I can not tell you how much I needed to hear this. I know you recorded this 7years ago but you recorded this for me. I’m a middle aged grandpa but I’ve been in an internal struggle and you men just help me tremendously. You are men of The lord my God. Thank you 🙏.
Thank you. I just saw this, and it's apparently a number of years old. Great wisdom from obviously well-groomed men (Spiritually speaking). Leaves me wanting MORE! I'm a 67 year old gent, working steadfastness for the Lord, and sensing a deeper call (Elder? Pastor?) Appreciated so much, what was said in this video!
Good to see this. I've had this in my spirit for quite some time. People have been coming to me or calling on me to help them find peace. I prayed about this knowing another's life is a huge responsibility to even attempt to help. Mainly for fear of leading them wrong. So The time it took up until now to try and grasp this has been several years. and the main reason is my choosing to not accept the responsibility using my own life and living as an excuse. I'm interested in seeing where it goes now that I'm open and feeling peace with it. (responsibility)
I was definitely "called" by God to preach. Not sure why this is uncomfortable terminology. I was walking dow my hall, thinking about something random, certianly not thinking about standing in front of ANYONE preaching. Completely introverted and perfectly ok with my life and RUNNING out of church service as soon as it was over...and on this day, a inner voice came outta no where, very clear and completely opposite of what i was thinking or doing. The voice said "you are called to preach my word"... HUH!! Wait just a sec here!!.. Yall, i wrestled with this thing... for YEARS! I prayed, asked God to choose someone else.. i mean, surely he had mistaken.. but the "calling" never left. Then, i begin praying for healing. I asked God for a voice to speak.. not on stages.. just to people everyday. He healed my soul.. gave me my voice back. It had been stolen when i was just a kid. Somehow weirdly..i became extroverted! I begin to love to hang out with people.. its all kinda unexplainable honestly. But my point here is this, there is a such thing as God "calling" one to preach.. I didnt have the burning desire, or even the want.. i was too broken. But he healed me and now the desire to preach his word has sprung up like never before. Blessings.
I really like these guys, they have a wealth of experience. I like how they put servitude first. I also think it’s important not to put people off the call to God. We have to pursue what God has put in our hands now. Discipleship first, very good. We need preachers who herald the truth more than ever in these dark days as the final hour is approaching. I feel compelled to tell the world, and I can do that just on the street wherever I can find a crowd. I have to say that pastors need to be willing to allow a man’s gift to be honed and perfected under his auspices. A good pastor should have apprentices. God bless these good brothers and if the Lord has called you then stop resisting and pursue that destiny. Remember most of life is established not in the mountains but in the valleys. God forth my friends and be diligent in your calling as I will too.
I Love What I hear. You Guy's are correct. I remember back in the 80's & 90's and people would say "Brother So & So Is Called" Some Of This is People in the Church Like a Given Young Man's Charterer. I don't see this as GOD told an individual that so & so needs to Preach. If a Young Man has a Good Character or The Character of Jesus. And Doesn't Gossip etc etc. As well as Has a Burning Desire to Consume the WORD. It is a Natural Outflow that all that a Man is Consuming will Bubble Out and they will Naturally Minister To People in their Neighborhood .It Naturally Shows within someone's Life in every Aspect. They consider the LORD in Everything they do and are Hungry for more.As the last thing a or the Church needs is to put a men on a Pulpit who has not been Tried or their Faith Has not been Tried. As when they or if they fall in Life be it Drugs or Adultery.It can Reflect on the Church or Community .
If God called you to be in any ministry, ALWAYS listen to him! never let a person discourage you because of whatever reasoning they may have..God has put it on your heart because he know that you can do it and he has given you the anointing to do it! If you need confirmation ask God to send a person to confirm this calling and pay attention to your dreams and interpret its meaning because God confirms destiny’s within our dreams..Be encouraged brothers and sisters ❤️💕
I think this comment misses what these pastors were saying. You may have a desire to pastor, but you need the affirmation of a good Bible believing church around you. God is not going to call you to do something that the majority of his saints disagree with. So, humble yourself and submit yourself to their examination. A fool trust in his own heart and discernment, but a wise man seeks the counsel of many.
@@Fragrences-byGeorge-ForMen You should take heed to what others believers suggest but ultimately listen to God! You should never ignore the desires God puts into your heart.
I really enjoy this one. But I’m thankful especially that my feed pulled this one while sitting on my front porch because I was feeling a bit “superior” today. I needed to hear this discussion again. There just aren’t enough of these around. Thanks again...
“It’s not on you ... it’s in you.” The expectations of others can lead us into the pleasing of people, more than walking within the Will of God... Be that as it May, that individuals fruit will speak volumes necessary to discern.
I gotta say after listening to this whole thing these Pastor finally got to where they were encouraging at least some of the men both young and old saying they were called. I'm torn because they was more sustaining the supposed called than encouraging and letting the process weed out the actual potential speakers of the word. But I'm thankful for the enlightenment of these three men. Continued blessings for the work.
I love listening to you all, thank you for your conversations, thank you for your walk, and thank you for being real on the front porch. God bless you Thabiti, Louis, and Tony. i could hang out on your porch for a few weeks haha.
First and foremost brothers we cant say who or who cant preach! GOD IS THE ONLY ONE TO GIVE US THAT GIFT AND THAT CALLING! DON'T SET UR SELF IN HIGHER STANDARDS THAN THE REST! ITS GODS DECISION BROTHERS..
I always feel the desire to preach to thousands and it always boils up into my heart. However, the devils given me the spirit of fear because HE is SCARED of my future!? And I always look at things in a different way. E.g. I see the drum as the heart and centre of music; it is the very thing that sets the tempo of the music it can control how quickly something happens or how slowly something happens! I also feel that it is the heart because the drum is always at the back; deep drown in the body keeping it moving! Is the immediate calling music and game design? I'm 15 doing exams in GCSE.
Knowing the Gospel has to be the start. I've researched many a church where I live and the question I ask is "What is the Gospel?". Surprisingly, many pastors say "well, it's complicated". To which I think to myself: "your congregation must be confused".
The men of GOD was called by GOD is the men of the Bible who wrote the scripture facts, Everyone else can have a desire but it has to be according to the scripture and not the one world government.
There are no scripture in the bible that permit women to preach, today the bible is finished and God is speaking through the bible only if you have a desire, you can only speak what the bible says in the order it says it.
All Christ followers are called to preach - or to proclaim the gospel. The question is - are you gifted to the position to preach. What was the context that Paul preached? Or James?
I've been called by others and it was something I didnt really understand at first because of the image most painted as the life of someone in this position but as I've grown the understanding of what they were talking about started to hit me now I'm searching for information
Why is it that when a man or woman believes that God is calling them to preach as a Pastor, every one of them seems to want to build or find or rent out a church space? Every person is called to testify and to proclaim that that Jesus is Lord and the gospel word of God. I've come to realize that in being called to preach and teach the Gospel, why not become an associate Pastor to another church? Is it because one knows that he will be subordinate to the leading Pastors? Does that actually happen? Do men finally taking up the call to pastor and or preach at a church they've chosen and find that the elders keep him from preaching? If so, what is the issue behind it?
A call to do ministry is something you can’t run from most people who are called are different from others on the enter self most people who are called tend to be a outcast from others most people who are called was told by Jesus this is my will for you to do by his voice visions and dreams Jesus speaks threw our spirit to do his work and will most people that are called run and don’t understand the calling at 1st
It was a great informational. My only critique would be that this was addressed to “males”. The call is gender neutral, we know, however, when discussing the topic in the manner in which they did, it was obviously thought of and delivered as if to males. What does a male pastor do when a female approaches with the same inquiry? It has been difficult as a woman to confirm my call within. When there is no direct reflection of the desire in my heart, how do I know? Something about needing confirmation and direction from woman to woman.
THE DIVINE (CALL) FROM HEAVEN MY QUESTION TO YOU BELOVE,DO YOU HAVE A DIVINE CALL UPON YOUR LIFE.? THE REASON FOR THESE QUESTIONS,SIMPLY BECAUSE,SO MANY THESE DAYS,ARE GOING INTO MINISTRY WITH OUT A DIVINE CALL, DECEIVING PEOPLE. SOME ARE FOLLOWING THE WORLDS OPINION,.BELEIVING THEY CAN HELP GOD OUT, (GOD DON`T NEED OUR HELP) HE WANTS OUR OBEDIENCE. AND SOME ARE ALSO UNDER THE WORLDS DECEPTION OF BELEVING,BECAUSE THEY HAVE ATTENDED SOME THEOLOGY OR SEMIMARY SCHOOL,THIS QUALIFY`S THEM FOR GOD MINISTRY. (YOU CAN`T BE SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH) ANYONE CAN GO TO A THEOLOGY OR SEMIMARY SCHOOL AND SAY GOD CALLED THEM,BUT A REAL CALL CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED. SIGNS AND WONDERS,MUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFE,SOMETIME IN THE HEAVENS,MARK 16;17 ITS GOD CHOICE,NOT OURS BELOVE. 1CORITHIANS 12 GOD WILL GIVE YOU SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND POWER,TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE MINISTRY. IN THE BOOK OF LUKE 12:12 IT SAYS,DO NOT PREPARE A SCRIPT. GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH YOU, IN THAT VERY HOUR,WHAT YOU ARE TO SAY. THE BIBLE SAYS GOD HAS TO CALL YOU,NOT YOU CALL YOURSELF. THE BIBLE TELLS US IN THE BOOK OF 1 TIMOTHY 2:15 TO STUDY TO SHOW OUR SELFS APPROVED,THIS IS FOR LAYMAN, NOT CHOSEN MINISTERS.. BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO A CALL OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF 1 JOHN 2:27 GOD IS TALKING TO HIS CHOSEN MINISTERS,( HE SAYS ,SEE THAT NO MAN TEACHS YOU.) ALL THINGS PERTAINETH TO SPIRITUAL MATTERS,MUST BE TAUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. IF THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHS YOU,GOD GETS THE GLORY,AND YOU GET SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE AND POWER,BUT IF MAN TEACHS YOU,MAN GETS THE GLORY,YOU GET SERMONS,WITH NO POWER. I WANT YOU TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES AND TELL ME,WHAT SCHOOL DID PETER OR JOHN OR ABRAHAM,MOSES,JAMES ATTEND. (THEY WERE ALL TAUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT) WHICH ONE OF THESE HOLY DICIPLES,QUALIFYED WITH A PIECE OF PAPER,(PH.D) (MASTER DEGREE) ETC. I DONT WANT ANY ONE TO THINK THAT I`M AGAN`ST EDUCATION,I`M NOT IT HAS ITS PLACE,A MEANS FOR YOUR SUPPORT. BUT SPIRITUAL MATTERS,CANT BE TAUGHT BY MAN, WITH OUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. in this philosophical world,pertaining to mans knowledge. you go to school,for a trade,to be a doctor,lawyer,teacher weilder,driver,computer programmer etc.,but none of these man made trades,do you say,i have a call from (God) because they are not divine,these trades came from mans system,mans phiosophy,so go to mans school to fulfill them.but a call of God,did`nt come from this world it came from on high and only the power of God can fill that call.God said see that no man teachs you,the holy spirit will lead you into all truth. (A CALL HAS TO BE FROM ON HIGH) HEAVENLY THINGS HAS TO BE TAUGHT FROM SOMEONE FROM HEAVEN,THE MAN FROM HEAVEN (JESUS CHRIST) CALL THE DICIPLES AND SAID COME I WILL MAKE YOU FISHAMEN OF MEN. THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN,TO TEACH THE ONES GOD HAS CALL ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. YOU CANT GET IT WITH OUT A CALL OF GOD,ITS NOT ON A PIECE OF PAPER. ANYONE WHO`S REALLY CALL,HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT ,IT WAS GOD CHOICE,THEY ARE JUST AN INSTRUMENT.. IF YOU DISIRE TO CARRY GOD WORD PRAY TO HIM,ASK IF HE WOULD USE YOU,BUT WAITE ON HIM,DONT GO AHEAD OF GOD WITHOUT THE CALL.. THIS IS DANGEROUS,BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OUT OF ORDER.,DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN JESUS CURSED THAT TREE THAT REFUSED TO BARE FRUIT,ANY THING OUT OF ORDER IS NOT ROOTED IN GOD,AND IT CANT NOT GROW,AND IF YOU ARE NOT GROWING IN HIM,YOU ARE NOT GOING WITH HIM. IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW 7:23 IN THAT DAY,MANY WILL SAY,DID`NT WE PREACH IN YOUR NAME(JESUS) DID`NT WE PROPHESY IN YOUR NAME,THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS MIGHT SAY TO YOU,GET AWAY FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU,FOR YOU HAVE WORK IN INIQUITY. PROVERBS 3:6 IT SAYS,IN ALL OF OUR WAYS,ACKNOWLEDGE GOD,THEN HE WILL DIRECT OUR PATH. YOU SEE BELOVE,IF WE ARE OPERATING IN THIS WORLD WITH OUT GOD DIRECTION,ITS DISOBEDIENCE,AND DISOBEDIENCE IS INIQUITY. WE MUST STAY IN THE CALL WE ARE CALLED IN,WE ARE ALL CALL TO BE TRANSFORM INTO THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST. IN THE BOOK OF JOHN 10:27 GOD IS SAYING,MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE AND A STRANGER THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW. (HAVE YOU HEARD HIS VOICE) IF YOU CANT HEAR HIS VOICE,HOW CAN YOU OBEY HIM IN HIS MINISTRY? IN THE BOOK OF 1 JOHN 4:1 IT SAYS,THERE ARE MANY VOICES IN THIS WORLD,AT ANY GIVEN TIME THERE ARE OVER 6 TO 7 BILLION VOICES,THAT REALLY DONT MATTER. THERES ONLY ONE VOICE THAT MATTER (GOD) HAVE YOU HEARD HIS VOICE LETS GO TO (PENTECOST) THE UPPER ROOM, ACTS 11:15 JESUS SAID TO THE DICIPLES,WHEN HE WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE,DONT GO INTO THE WORLD UNTIL I SENT THE (COMFORTER) HOLY SPIRIT. IT WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO SPIRITUAL MATTERS AND GIVE YOU POWER.. NOW AS THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS TRAVELING OVER THE LAND GOING TO PENTECOST,ORDER BY GOD. IT PASSED OVER ALL OF THE FALSE PROPHETS,SELF APPOINTED MINISTERS,IT PASSED OVER ALL OF THE PRETENDERS,THAT GOD HAD NOT CHOSEN. BUT WHEN THE COMFORTER HAD ARRIVE TO THE UPPER ROOM THAT GOD HAD CHOSEN,THE DICIPLES HEARD A (RUSHING WIND) AND BIBLE SAYS ALL OF THE CHOSEN MEN BY GOD WAS STANDING THERE,AS THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL ON THEM,I SAID IT FELL ON THEM...... THEY DIDNT QUALIFY BY A PIECE OF PAPER,THEY QUALIFYED,BY GOD CHOICE OF THEM. HAS GOD CHOSEN YOU TODAY? THE HOUSE OF THE LORD MUST BE CLEAN UP FROM SO MUCH DECEPTION,I KNOW WHEN OUR SAVIOR COMES BACK HE`S GOING TO RESTORE,BUT UNTIL HE ARRIVES,WE HAVE A JOB TO DO,NOT SUGAR COAT,BUT TELL THE TRUTH AND NOT FOLLOW THE WORLDS BRAND OF MIMISTRY. GO TELL THEM,THAT GREGORY ANDERSON SAID,THERES ONLY ONE GOD AND ALL TRUE CALLS,COMES FROM ON HIGH,WAY UP IN THE SKY,ABOVE ALL CREATION. WHEN SOME ONE ASK ABOUT GOD CALL,DONT TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT TO,WHAT PAPERS YOU HAVE. TELL THEM ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT,TELL THEM ABOUT THE POWER,AND GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,THAT CAN NOT BE PURCHASED OR GOTTEN IN A SCHOOL. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A THEOLGY OR SEMINARY SCHOOL. BUT IF THEY PRAY FOR YOU,OR LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU,YOU RECEIVE ALL KINDS OF SPIRITUAL BLESSING. (THIS IS WHAT WE GOT TO GET BACK TO,IN THE CHURCHS ITS AVAILABLE) LIFT UP GOD THRU THE POWER HE HAS PLACED ON YOU, ALOT OF US MAKES THE MISTAKE OF JUST THINKING GOD IS GOOD,YES HE IS,BUT HE ALSO HAS A WRATH,WHAT ABOUT THE FLOOD,WHAT ABOUT SATAN HIGH ARCANGEL,REDUCED TO A DEMON. GOD IS NOTHING TO PLAY WITH,WHEN THINGS RUNS ITS COARSE,AND YOU HAVE NOT REPENTED OF YOUR SINS....... MAINLY LIYING ON GOD,SAYING HE SAID,WHEN YOU KNOW HE DID NOT SAY.,in the book of jeremiah 14:14 God said some i Didn`t send ,i didn`t speak to them (call) them,belove you have to be called,God has a divine order. WARNING,WARNING, (JUDGEMENT IS COMMING) I WOULD`NT GO INTO JUDGEMENT WITH A SOUL FULL OF LIES THE WORLDS BRAND OF MINISTRY IS ABOUT ONE THING (MONEY) I DO GOD MINISTRY FOR FREE,I GET MY BLESSING IN MANY WAYS. . 1 SAMUEL 15:22 OBEBIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE; GOD BLESS YOU BELOVE.........
GREGORY Anderson...just some brotherly advice to you, don't type in all caps, it makes you come off crazy and angry and I know that's not the vibe you were trying to project to us.
Dear Brothers, great insight. Please be mindful. Sisters get called as well. All of your language and examples were centered around men and boys. Please think more carefully as you speak. You all are leaders and examples for both men and women.
Appreciate the thoughtfulness and the biblical foundation of your answer. There is great substance to your answers and provides a tremendous amount of value to consider. I still feel you have missed the critical element of the role of the Holy Spirit in the "calling." Which is a much bigger issue in Christendom than this topic. It strikes me that, since the time of the reformation, the church has steadily taken a course that has driven us to essentially rely on our human intellect, traditions and our own proclivities. In some cases, this has led us to the manifestation that Paul warns the young pastor Timothy about that there would be those "with a form of godliness," but that lacks the true power of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit.
Some people want to be pastors and they start their own church but they are not called to preach!! If God is not in it, it will not succeed or have power and influence!!
From what I’ve learned from God is that the preacher is the proclaimer of the Gospel and spreads the word of God And the Prophet speaks thus says the Lord in the life of the believer for their edification and betterment of faith Seers of the Lord have to fall in line with the prophet and and the preacher living to the standard and calling to serve the body of Christ Jesus and operates together for Christ glory and salvation in a full spirit filled Church ⛪️
I’m happy the YT algorithm put this on my feed. Although I’m curious as to why more women are having these discussions more than the men are...and the few men that are are generally professionals and not just “men.” I have some suspicions about this, but not developed answers...
I think women tend to be more advanced in their relationships biologically, including with God. Women seem naturally to be more in tune. This is all just my opinion, but I think men are designed to work and provide, and are born with an advantage in physical strength to perform that role. Women are the glue that holds everything together, and have the emotional aptitudes to perform that role. I hold my wife's opinions in VERY high regard, especially in regards to spiritual matters, because she is much more sensitive to that small, still voice. I tend to need more of a kick in the pants.
@@brandenlane344 I say this in love: According to scripture the man is to be the spiritual leader. I’m not saying that the wife is not to be heard, but I am saying that the man of GOD should be just as if not more sensitive to the voice of GOD than his wife. If you tend to need a kick in the pants it shows that you need to step into your GOD appointed place. GOD Bless
This subjective aspect is something that I don't understand also external. I have had multiple people give multiple opinions. Is their a Biblical basis for they are saying? Wondering which scripture supports this view?
It is a great subject that there touching on but however the Bible says to make your election sure.It is God that calls,Chooses people and quailifies the person.It is a process & you learn how to do mininstry thru the spirit only,as God leads What is preaching?..Simply to reach the people were they are to let them know there's hope at the end of the day the Lord saves.God Bless you all study for yourself & pray Only God can say who is called and who is not.To be honest we need more leader's to help young folks reach there potential for the kingdom of God not according to man.Age, gender & race does not disqualify you.Desires were do they come from?They come from God pertaining to mininstry it is a gift from God the Call to preach is from God only.
Yes......women are called by God. The five-fold ministry office call is listed in Ephesians chapter 4. You will see the office mantle of the prophet among that list. God has been anointing women as Prophetesses from the Old Testament to the New Testament. If he was calling them from the beginning, why would he stop calling them to proclaim his word and his glory. The five fold ministry call is not gender specific.
Victoria Lariviere Always look at the work and not the position. What I mean by that is we are all called to proclaim the gospel. Not all are or should lead a church in that capacity. Just as they communicated in the previous comments No. However, we all can disciple people and that is a great way to contribute.
I’m worried. My children’s father says he is called to be a pastor but I don’t think he’s ready to be a pastor. He’s divorced and we are talking about getting married. We also are still falling into sin sometimes. I just don’t think he’s qualified to lead. And he’s not very good with managing money and I wonder if he’s a lil narcissistic sometimes. I’m not ready to be a pastors wife.
No matter what its not if we think another person is ready. If God says he is then he is. No one is perfect. He will always have something to work on as you will also. But then again maybe the Lord is telling him that he will one day be a pastor not necessarily anytime soon. Every pastor, every evangelist and every minister (and so on) are sinners. Confirmation comes from GOD no one else. And when or if he receives confirmation from God he won't need anyone else's opinion. He is to do Gods work no matter who disagrees.
It's a reason Jesus once said pray for Laborers not that he was referring only to Pastors but I think when it comes to people "called" to preach...you the human/Pastor/congregation should deter the person... because people have human emotions and feelings...alot of people in their feelings shouldn't stop someone who feels called to preach.
Why am I judging the way these three men are sitting lol. The first from the left sits like I'm a man, second sits like he is free and comfortable and the third sits like he is strategic in decision making. I bet you I'm correct. Just saying.
If you don’t feel comfortable with that language perhaps you haven’t been called. Maybe you desired to preach and followed the path to preaching much like others follow career paths. Being called is an experience we see more than a few times in the Bible. Same God back then is the same God right now.
Jeremiah 1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. Jeremiah 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Don't know why this video was recommended to me and I don't know who these guys are or even watched the video for that matter. The only reason that I clicked on this video was because I swore that that thumbnail looked like the picture of when Henry Louis Gates Jr, James Crowley and President Obama (then future and now current President Biden is in some shots also) met at the Whitehouse back in 2009. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Often the person of God will be seeking God for themselves, family and the church will not always be receptive because of how they watched you as a child, or they are spiritually dead, and the biggest element that will try to discourage is Satan himself, his goal is to prevent you from listening to God, or to distract you by other means. Study God's word, pray more read more, love people more, it will become tougher, but when God sees your faith He will reveal His mission for you step by step. Remember not the whole vision, but peice by peice.
You know what is sickening about this is who are any of you to judge what God calling someone to do? I told my church that I felt like God was calling me to preach and it’s not that I had a feeling it’s because I had DREAMS of me being in the stand preaching. A lot of dreams. I even had dreams that my moderator didn’t believe I was saved and called. This was a year before they excluded me. But these brothers started saying stuff that was out of line in the stand about me and I confronted them about it and a week later I was excluded from my home church. Today I had a dream that I was preaching and people around me was rejoicing and praising God.. I don’t know how clearer God can get in what he wants me to do. But it seems like men keep getting in the way. The devil hates it. How about you elders start to listen and stop looking down on young brothers who have that feeling of being called because one day you will be gone and these young brothers will be the ones stepping in you’re place.
Brother Daniel Creech Just because you have dreams to preach doesn’t mean you have a life to do it? You see they have experience with “people being called , and dreamers,”etc etc A dream is an example of grace not necessarily a calling to preach , the dream could be helping you realize Gods importance in life not to preach. This is why they say you’ll fall in love with the idea of teaching , attention, the social status etc not with God because preaching is indeed free. Just go and do it. As humans we get that so confused. Having dreams isn’t a call and any realized person will know that. Also believing in dreams bringing forth a lifes call is dangerous to a person who is teaching to a mass. Because GOD is life. This would be a person teaching god in the name of dreams which could end up being messy. Second you need to explain why you got excluded from a church before trying to preach.
so i am confused why are you uncomfortable with the word calling when talking about preaching??? so you dont think God calls people to preach how do they become one then please give a little more detail talking about the guy in the middles explaination
Your Husband is on his way IJN... Keep following God's guidance and all will fall into place at the appointed time IJN Romans 8:28-30. God Bless you and your ministry :o)
Yes, he is own his way, until then I will just follow the call myself. I will be a leader on my own until the time comes where we can join our ministries. God bless you too and your ministry!
Honestly gentlemen I did not see the Spirit alive here. I saw and listened to your arm chair opinions about what you believe should be the criteria for qualifying to be a preacher, however. I did not see the Spirit of the Lord as the foundation of your beliefs in this subject. If someone feels led by Christ to preach, whether that is in front of a congregation inside of a building, or to strangers on the street, that is that individuals mission in life to complete. At no time is it another man's place to say what is or what is not another man's calling is in life unless it is by Jesus Christ Himself. I would ask you men of God to prayerfully consider analyzing your beliefs and how you go about presenting them to the world, especially considering on the internet, many of the viewers may not be believers. If someone has the desire to spread the Word of God, why would you discourage that individual by making them feel as though they have to qualify in meeting your criteria in what being a preacher is? No brothers, we must spread the good news, be joyful and supportive when the people around us want to also share the message of hope and love in Christ Jesus. May God bless you.
Only God can tell you yes or no Sometimes preachers forget and set them self's in higher standards. We are nobody's to say or judge. If you want to preach and ur heart tells you to preach then do it
If these brothers arent keeping all the laws and commandments, such as worshipping on Saturday, then listening to these pastors is the same as following the blind..and Yahawa (God) did NOT call them. We must be clean of our sins and Keep the Commandments and laws before we can teach or preach to anyone else..Yahawa wont choose you otherwise.
The laws went away of Moses when Jesus Christ came before us after the fall of Adam. As of now we are redeemed through Christ Jesus through him we're in Grace and mercy of God. We don't have to operate through sacrificial means to please God but we're now covered if we believe in his son Jesus Christ in our hearts whom lived as man in flesh. The laws are presently of Christ Jesus the redeemer of all our Sins and imperfections we weren't and will never be able to uphold in perfection like him. We are Christians please believe Grace and Mercy our over us in the new testament days now otherwise our shortcomings if we still we operating in the old testament times before Jesus we'd be gone because of God's anger with our present sins and non-sacrificial practices or acts to be presented to God for his forgiveness. Jesus has alresdy taking the law and the need to for us before God. As believers he's our front runner in making us righteous before God. We aren't in law anymore. 1luv
It is so great to hear them talk about the character of a person as opposed to one's qualification. It is character that qualifies not skill, because God is the one who qualifies the un-qualifiable through sovereign choice and through His Holy Spirit building their character. He gives them the desire and then builds them through ongoing sanctification. To many people want to be preachers/pastors because they seek the lime light and what they see. Whether on tv or in their own local assembly where the pastor is on a pedestal and is the one who is being served instead of serving. The Holy Spirit really used their intelligence to teach what is calling and what it looks like biblically through the eyes and heart of God's Holy Spirit. Amen Pastors. Amen!!!
I can not tell you how much I needed to hear this. I know you recorded this 7years ago but you recorded this for me. I’m a middle aged grandpa but I’ve been in an internal struggle and you men just help me tremendously. You are men of The lord my God. Thank you 🙏.
So great to see black, intelligent, spirit filled male figures to look up to.
Exactly
AMEN!!!
i understand the thought here. but i appreciate any spirit filled man of God. no matter the color or ethnic background. i was blessed by their insight
@Gavin exactly.
I agree. A spirit filled man of integrity and humbleness is a God-send.
Thank you. I just saw this, and it's apparently a number of years old. Great wisdom from obviously well-groomed men (Spiritually speaking).
Leaves me wanting MORE!
I'm a 67 year old gent, working steadfastness for the Lord, and sensing a deeper call (Elder? Pastor?)
Appreciated so much, what was said in this video!
I can’t believe I just found this amazing video. Your guys’ wisdom and the beautiful background. This is awesomeeee
Good to see this. I've had this in my spirit for quite some time. People have been coming to me or calling on me to help them find peace. I prayed about this knowing another's life is a huge responsibility to even attempt to help. Mainly for fear of leading them wrong. So The time it took up until now to try and grasp this has been several years. and the main reason is my choosing to not accept the responsibility using my own life and living as an excuse. I'm interested in seeing where it goes now that I'm open and feeling peace with it. (responsibility)

I begin to love to hang out with people.. its all kinda unexplainable honestly. But my point here is this, there is a such thing as God "calling" one to preach.. I didnt have the burning desire, or even the want.. i was too broken. But he healed me and now the desire to preach his word has sprung up like never before. Blessings.
I really like these guys, they have a wealth of experience. I like how they put servitude first. I also think it’s important not to put people off the call to God. We have to pursue what God has put in our hands now. Discipleship first, very good. We need preachers who herald the truth more than ever in these dark days as the final hour is approaching. I feel compelled to tell the world, and I can do that just on the street wherever I can find a crowd. I have to say that pastors need to be willing to allow a man’s gift to be honed and perfected under his auspices. A good pastor should have apprentices. God bless these good brothers and if the Lord has called you then stop resisting and pursue that destiny. Remember most of life is established not in the mountains but in the valleys. God forth my friends and be diligent in your calling as I will too.
Amen
I Love What I hear. You Guy's are correct. I remember back in the 80's & 90's and people would say "Brother So & So Is Called" Some Of This is People in the Church Like a Given Young Man's Charterer. I don't see this as GOD told an individual that so & so needs to Preach. If a Young Man has a Good Character or The Character of Jesus. And Doesn't Gossip etc etc. As well as Has a Burning Desire to Consume the WORD. It is a Natural Outflow that all that a Man is Consuming will Bubble Out and they will Naturally Minister To People in their Neighborhood .It Naturally Shows within someone's Life in every Aspect. They consider the LORD in Everything they do and are Hungry for more.As the last thing a or the Church needs is to put a men on a Pulpit who has not been Tried or their Faith Has not been Tried. As when they or if they fall in Life be it Drugs or Adultery.It can Reflect on the Church or Community .
If God called you to be in any ministry, ALWAYS listen to him! never let a person discourage you because of whatever reasoning they may have..God has put it on your heart because he know that you can do it and he has given you the anointing to do it! If you need confirmation ask God to send a person to confirm this calling and pay attention to your dreams and interpret its meaning because God confirms destiny’s within our dreams..Be encouraged brothers and sisters ❤️💕
True
Thank you for this!!!
I think this comment misses what these pastors were saying.
You may have a desire to pastor, but you need the affirmation of a good Bible believing church around you.
God is not going to call you to do something that the majority of his saints disagree with. So, humble yourself and submit yourself to their examination. A fool trust in his own heart and discernment, but a wise man seeks the counsel of many.
@@Fragrences-byGeorge-ForMen You should take heed to what others believers suggest but ultimately listen to God! You should never ignore the desires God puts into your heart.
@@Fragrences-byGeorge-ForMen You sound religion🙄
I really enjoy this one. But I’m thankful especially that my feed pulled this one while sitting on my front porch because I was feeling a bit “superior” today. I needed to hear this discussion again. There just aren’t enough of these around. Thanks again...
23:40 “Everyman ought to set as a goal to be at least be qualified as an elder” AMEN
“It’s not on you ... it’s in you.”
The expectations of others can lead us into the pleasing of people, more than walking within the Will of God...
Be that as it May, that individuals fruit will speak volumes necessary to discern.
I gotta say after listening to this whole thing these Pastor finally got to where they were encouraging at least some of the men both young and old saying they were called. I'm torn because they was more sustaining the supposed called than encouraging and letting the process weed out the actual potential speakers of the word. But I'm thankful for the enlightenment of these three men. Continued blessings for the work.
What wisdom! Thank you GOD for your provision!
I love listening to you all, thank you for your conversations, thank you for your walk, and thank you for being real on the front porch. God bless you Thabiti, Louis, and Tony. i could hang out on your porch for a few weeks haha.
First and foremost brothers we cant say who or who cant preach!
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE TO GIVE US THAT GIFT AND THAT CALLING! DON'T SET UR SELF IN HIGHER STANDARDS THAN THE REST! ITS GODS DECISION BROTHERS..
You guys are great
So helpful!! Thanks Pastors!!
Great word gentleman. Really helped me to understand I have much work to do.
I always feel the desire to preach to thousands and it always boils up into my heart. However, the devils given me the spirit of fear because HE is SCARED of my future!? And I always look at things in a different way. E.g. I see the drum as the heart and centre of music; it is the very thing that sets the tempo of the music it can control how quickly something happens or how slowly something happens! I also feel that it is the heart because the drum is always at the back; deep drown in the body keeping it moving! Is the immediate calling music and game design? I'm 15 doing exams in GCSE.
Knowing the Gospel has to be the start. I've researched many a church where I live and the question I ask is "What is the Gospel?". Surprisingly, many pastors say "well, it's complicated". To which I think to myself: "your congregation must be confused".
Thank you brothers. This video is what I needed to hear. God Bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🔥
There won't no one will be better on what GOD Called you do, the why God Called you!😊
What about women? How is the role of women different in this case if they feel called to minister and teach the Word.
The men of GOD was called by GOD is the men of the Bible who wrote the scripture facts, Everyone else can have a desire but it has to be according to the scripture and not the one world government.
There are no scripture in the bible that permit women to preach, today the bible is finished and God is speaking through the bible only if you have a desire, you can only speak what the bible says in the order it says it.
From what I understand from Scripture, the women of that time were not allowed to pastor. Where are the verses on preaching?
oh man, thank you fellas
All Christ followers are called to preach - or to proclaim the gospel. The question is - are you gifted to the position to preach. What was the context that Paul preached? Or James?
Why american balck voice is so bass. It is amazing to listen to. You guys are amazing.
I've been called by others and it was something I didnt really understand at first because of the image most painted as the life of someone in this position but as I've grown the understanding of what they were talking about started to hit me now I'm searching for information
I might be because I feel a heaviness when this subject comes up I haven't lived up to what I should
Why is it that when a man or woman believes that God is calling them to preach as a Pastor, every one of them seems to want to build or find or rent out a church space? Every person is called to testify and to proclaim that that Jesus is Lord and the gospel word of God. I've come to realize that in being called to preach and teach the Gospel, why not become an associate Pastor to another church? Is it because one knows that he will be subordinate to the leading Pastors?
Does that actually happen? Do men finally taking up the call to pastor and or preach at a church they've chosen and find that the elders keep him from preaching? If so, what is the issue behind it?
A call to do ministry is something you can’t run from most people who are called are different from others on the enter self most people who are called tend to be a outcast from others most people who are called was told by Jesus this is my will for you to do by his voice visions and dreams Jesus speaks threw our spirit to do his work and will most people that are called run and don’t understand the calling at 1st
💯
What ever your hands finds to do today. I pray the Lord directs me and you to his purpose.
What about Samuel and Jeremiah?
That was wonderful!
I’m glad I came across this video. I never had it broken down to me like this
Great discussion
It was a great informational. My only critique would be that this was addressed to “males”. The call is gender neutral, we know, however, when discussing the topic in the manner in which they did, it was obviously thought of and delivered as if to males. What does a male pastor do when a female approaches with the same inquiry? It has been difficult as a woman to confirm my call within. When there is no direct reflection of the desire in my heart, how do I know? Something about needing confirmation and direction from woman to woman.
It’s not 2 Timothy says he he he, not they or she it’s a male specific role
THE DIVINE (CALL) FROM HEAVEN MY QUESTION TO YOU BELOVE,DO YOU HAVE A DIVINE CALL UPON YOUR LIFE.?
THE REASON FOR THESE QUESTIONS,SIMPLY BECAUSE,SO MANY THESE DAYS,ARE
GOING INTO MINISTRY WITH OUT A DIVINE CALL, DECEIVING PEOPLE. SOME ARE FOLLOWING THE WORLDS OPINION,.BELEIVING THEY CAN HELP GOD OUT, (GOD DON`T NEED OUR HELP) HE WANTS OUR OBEDIENCE.
AND SOME ARE ALSO UNDER THE WORLDS DECEPTION OF BELEVING,BECAUSE THEY
HAVE ATTENDED SOME THEOLOGY OR SEMIMARY SCHOOL,THIS QUALIFY`S THEM FOR
GOD MINISTRY. (YOU CAN`T BE SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH) ANYONE CAN GO TO A THEOLOGY OR SEMIMARY SCHOOL AND SAY GOD CALLED THEM,BUT A REAL CALL CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED. SIGNS AND WONDERS,MUST FOLLOW YOUR LIFE,SOMETIME IN THE HEAVENS,MARK 16;17 ITS GOD CHOICE,NOT OURS BELOVE. 1CORITHIANS 12 GOD WILL GIVE YOU SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND POWER,TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE MINISTRY. IN THE BOOK OF LUKE 12:12 IT SAYS,DO NOT PREPARE A SCRIPT. GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH YOU, IN THAT VERY HOUR,WHAT YOU ARE TO SAY. THE BIBLE SAYS GOD HAS TO CALL YOU,NOT YOU CALL YOURSELF.
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN THE BOOK OF 1 TIMOTHY 2:15 TO STUDY TO SHOW OUR SELFS APPROVED,THIS IS FOR LAYMAN, NOT CHOSEN MINISTERS.. BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO A CALL OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF 1 JOHN 2:27
GOD IS TALKING TO HIS CHOSEN MINISTERS,( HE SAYS ,SEE THAT NO MAN TEACHS YOU.)
ALL THINGS PERTAINETH TO SPIRITUAL MATTERS,MUST BE TAUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
IF THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHS YOU,GOD GETS THE GLORY,AND YOU GET SPIRITUAL
KNOWLEDGE AND POWER,BUT IF MAN TEACHS YOU,MAN GETS THE GLORY,YOU GET
SERMONS,WITH NO POWER. I WANT YOU TO SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES AND TELL ME,WHAT SCHOOL
DID PETER OR JOHN OR ABRAHAM,MOSES,JAMES ATTEND. (THEY WERE ALL TAUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT) WHICH ONE OF THESE HOLY DICIPLES,QUALIFYED WITH A PIECE OF PAPER,(PH.D) (MASTER DEGREE) ETC. I DONT WANT ANY ONE TO THINK THAT I`M AGAN`ST EDUCATION,I`M NOT IT HAS ITS PLACE,A MEANS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
BUT SPIRITUAL MATTERS,CANT BE TAUGHT BY MAN, WITH OUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. in this philosophical world,pertaining to mans knowledge.
you go to school,for a trade,to be a doctor,lawyer,teacher
weilder,driver,computer programmer etc.,but none of these man made
trades,do you say,i have a call from (God) because they are not
divine,these trades came from mans system,mans phiosophy,so go to mans
school to fulfill them.but a call of God,did`nt come from this world
it came from on high and only the power of God can fill that call.God
said see that no man teachs you,the holy spirit will lead you into all
truth. (A CALL HAS TO BE FROM ON HIGH) HEAVENLY THINGS HAS
TO BE TAUGHT FROM SOMEONE FROM HEAVEN,THE MAN FROM HEAVEN (JESUS
CHRIST) CALL THE DICIPLES AND SAID COME I WILL MAKE YOU FISHAMEN OF MEN. THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN,TO TEACH THE ONES GOD HAS CALL ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. YOU CANT GET IT WITH OUT A CALL OF GOD,ITS NOT ON A PIECE OF PAPER. ANYONE WHO`S REALLY CALL,HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT ,IT WAS GOD CHOICE,THEY ARE JUST AN INSTRUMENT..
IF YOU DISIRE TO CARRY GOD WORD PRAY TO HIM,ASK IF HE WOULD USE YOU,BUT WAITE ON HIM,DONT GO AHEAD OF GOD WITHOUT THE CALL..
THIS IS DANGEROUS,BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OUT OF ORDER.,DO YOU REMEMBER
WHEN JESUS CURSED THAT TREE THAT REFUSED TO BARE FRUIT,ANY THING OUT OF
ORDER IS NOT ROOTED IN GOD,AND IT CANT NOT GROW,AND IF YOU ARE NOT
GROWING IN HIM,YOU ARE NOT GOING WITH HIM. IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW
7:23 IN THAT DAY,MANY WILL SAY,DID`NT WE PREACH IN YOUR NAME(JESUS)
DID`NT WE PROPHESY IN YOUR NAME,THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS MIGHT SAY TO
YOU,GET AWAY FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU,FOR YOU HAVE WORK IN INIQUITY. PROVERBS 3:6 IT SAYS,IN ALL OF OUR WAYS,ACKNOWLEDGE GOD,THEN HE WILL DIRECT OUR PATH.
YOU SEE BELOVE,IF WE ARE OPERATING IN THIS WORLD WITH OUT GOD DIRECTION,ITS DISOBEDIENCE,AND DISOBEDIENCE IS INIQUITY. WE MUST STAY IN THE CALL WE ARE CALLED IN,WE ARE ALL CALL TO BE TRANSFORM INTO THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST. IN THE BOOK OF JOHN 10:27 GOD IS SAYING,MY SHEEP KNOW MY VOICE
AND A STRANGER THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW. (HAVE YOU HEARD HIS VOICE) IF YOU CANT HEAR HIS VOICE,HOW CAN YOU OBEY HIM IN HIS MINISTRY?
IN THE BOOK OF 1 JOHN 4:1 IT SAYS,THERE ARE MANY VOICES IN THIS
WORLD,AT ANY GIVEN TIME THERE ARE OVER 6 TO 7 BILLION VOICES,THAT REALLY
DONT MATTER. THERES ONLY ONE VOICE THAT MATTER (GOD) HAVE YOU HEARD HIS VOICE
LETS GO TO (PENTECOST) THE UPPER ROOM, ACTS 11:15 JESUS SAID TO THE
DICIPLES,WHEN HE WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE,DONT GO INTO THE WORLD UNTIL
I SENT THE (COMFORTER) HOLY SPIRIT.
IT WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO SPIRITUAL MATTERS AND GIVE YOU POWER.. NOW AS THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS TRAVELING OVER THE LAND GOING TO PENTECOST,ORDER BY GOD.
IT PASSED OVER ALL OF THE FALSE PROPHETS,SELF APPOINTED MINISTERS,IT PASSED OVER ALL OF THE PRETENDERS,THAT GOD HAD NOT CHOSEN.
BUT WHEN THE COMFORTER HAD ARRIVE TO THE UPPER ROOM THAT GOD HAD
CHOSEN,THE DICIPLES HEARD A (RUSHING WIND) AND BIBLE SAYS ALL OF THE
CHOSEN MEN BY GOD WAS STANDING THERE,AS THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL ON THEM,I
SAID IT FELL ON THEM...... THEY DIDNT QUALIFY BY A PIECE OF PAPER,THEY QUALIFYED,BY GOD CHOICE OF THEM. HAS GOD CHOSEN YOU TODAY?
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD MUST BE CLEAN UP FROM SO MUCH DECEPTION,I KNOW
WHEN OUR SAVIOR COMES BACK HE`S GOING TO RESTORE,BUT UNTIL HE ARRIVES,WE
HAVE A JOB TO DO,NOT SUGAR COAT,BUT TELL THE TRUTH
AND NOT FOLLOW THE WORLDS BRAND OF MIMISTRY.
GO TELL THEM,THAT GREGORY ANDERSON SAID,THERES ONLY ONE GOD AND ALL
TRUE CALLS,COMES FROM ON HIGH,WAY UP IN THE SKY,ABOVE ALL CREATION. WHEN SOME ONE ASK ABOUT GOD CALL,DONT TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT SCHOOL YOU WENT TO,WHAT PAPERS YOU HAVE.
TELL THEM ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT,TELL THEM ABOUT THE POWER,AND GIFTS OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT,THAT CAN NOT BE PURCHASED OR GOTTEN IN A SCHOOL. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A THEOLGY OR SEMINARY SCHOOL.
BUT IF THEY PRAY FOR YOU,OR LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU,YOU RECEIVE
ALL KINDS OF SPIRITUAL BLESSING. (THIS IS WHAT WE GOT TO GET BACK TO,IN THE CHURCHS ITS AVAILABLE) LIFT UP GOD THRU THE POWER HE HAS PLACED ON YOU,
ALOT OF US MAKES THE MISTAKE OF JUST THINKING GOD IS GOOD,YES HE IS,BUT
HE ALSO HAS A WRATH,WHAT ABOUT THE FLOOD,WHAT ABOUT SATAN HIGH
ARCANGEL,REDUCED TO A DEMON.
GOD IS NOTHING TO PLAY WITH,WHEN THINGS RUNS ITS COARSE,AND YOU HAVE NOT REPENTED OF YOUR SINS.......
MAINLY LIYING ON GOD,SAYING HE SAID,WHEN YOU KNOW HE DID NOT SAY.,in
the book of jeremiah 14:14 God said some i Didn`t send ,i didn`t speak
to them (call) them,belove you have to be called,God has a divine order. WARNING,WARNING, (JUDGEMENT IS COMMING) I WOULD`NT GO INTO JUDGEMENT WITH A SOUL FULL OF LIES THE WORLDS BRAND OF MINISTRY IS ABOUT ONE THING (MONEY) I DO GOD MINISTRY FOR FREE,I GET MY BLESSING IN MANY WAYS.
.
1 SAMUEL 15:22
OBEBIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE; GOD BLESS YOU BELOVE.........
GREGORY Anderson...just some brotherly advice to you, don't type in all caps, it makes you come off crazy and angry and I know that's not the vibe you were trying to project to us.
It takes God to call u ,And no man taketh this honour into himself, But he that is Called of God,As was Aaron.
I'm so blessed reading this, couldn't get enough, and I can relate to this. Well said brother
I thought I was called until one day I started stuttering and repeating myself when I was trying to give the word.
Excellent.
Dear Brothers, great insight. Please be mindful. Sisters get called as well. All of your language and examples were centered around men and boys. Please think more carefully as you speak. You all are leaders and examples for both men and women.
Women cannot biblically preach
@@grahamduke516
Amen brother
Please bring this channel back
Appreciate the thoughtfulness and the biblical foundation of your answer. There is great substance to your answers and provides a tremendous amount of value to consider. I still feel you have missed the critical element of the role of the Holy Spirit in the "calling." Which is a much bigger issue in Christendom than this topic. It strikes me that, since the time of the reformation, the church has steadily taken a course that has driven us to essentially rely on our human intellect, traditions and our own proclivities. In some cases, this has led us to the manifestation that Paul warns the young pastor Timothy about that there would be those "with a form of godliness," but that lacks the true power of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit.
Some people want to be pastors and they start their own church but they are not called to preach!! If God is not in it, it will not succeed or have power and influence!!
Great discussion!
From what I’ve learned from God is that the preacher is the proclaimer of the Gospel and spreads the word of God And the Prophet speaks thus says the Lord in the life of the believer for their edification and betterment of faith Seers of the Lord have to fall in line with the prophet and and the preacher living to the standard and calling to serve the body of Christ Jesus and operates together for Christ glory and salvation in a full spirit filled Church ⛪️
Thankyou
I’m happy the YT algorithm put this on my feed. Although I’m curious as to why more women are having these discussions more than the men are...and the few men that are are generally professionals and not just “men.” I have some suspicions about this, but not developed answers...
I think women tend to be more advanced in their relationships biologically, including with God. Women seem naturally to be more in tune. This is all just my opinion, but I think men are designed to work and provide, and are born with an advantage in physical strength to perform that role. Women are the glue that holds everything together, and have the emotional aptitudes to perform that role. I hold my wife's opinions in VERY high regard, especially in regards to spiritual matters, because she is much more sensitive to that small, still voice. I tend to need more of a kick in the pants.
@@brandenlane344
I say this in love:
According to scripture the man is to be the spiritual leader. I’m not saying that the wife is not to be heard, but I am saying that the man of GOD should be just as if not more sensitive to the voice of GOD than his wife. If you tend to need a kick in the pants it shows that you need to step into your GOD appointed place.
GOD Bless
not just love on them but to help humble them.
This subjective aspect is something that I don't understand also external. I have had multiple people give multiple opinions. Is their a Biblical basis for they are saying? Wondering which scripture supports this view?
It is a great subject that there touching on but however the Bible says to make your election sure.It is God that calls,Chooses people and quailifies the person.It is a process & you learn how to do mininstry thru the spirit only,as God leads What is preaching?..Simply to reach the people were they are to let them know there's hope at the end of the day the Lord saves.God Bless you all study for yourself & pray Only God can say who is called and who is not.To be honest we need more leader's to help young folks reach there potential for the kingdom of God not according to man.Age, gender & race does not disqualify you.Desires were do they come from?They come from God pertaining to mininstry it is a gift from God the Call to preach is from God only.
can woman be called to ministry as a pastor?
Victoria Lariviere no.
Victoria Lariviere No. Look at 1Timothy 2:12-14 KJV. There you will find your Biblical answer.
Victoria Lariviere No, See 1Timothy 2:11-15, 1 Timothy 3
Yes......women are called by God. The five-fold ministry office call is listed in Ephesians chapter 4. You will see the office mantle of the prophet among that list. God has been anointing women as Prophetesses from the Old Testament to the New Testament. If he was calling them from the beginning, why would he stop calling them to proclaim his word and his glory. The five fold ministry call is not gender specific.
Victoria Lariviere Always look at the work and not the position. What I mean by that is we are all called to proclaim the gospel. Not all are or should lead a church in that capacity. Just as they communicated in the previous comments No. However, we all can disciple people and that is a great way to contribute.
I love it BC its too about ( Accountability) not sending a novice
So I had a dream of Gabriel. He was calling me to speak for the people. He is telling me that I hace the rank of Bishop too.
I’m worried. My children’s father says he is called to be a pastor but I don’t think he’s ready to be a pastor. He’s divorced and we are talking about getting married. We also are still falling into sin sometimes. I just don’t think he’s qualified to lead. And he’s not very good with managing money and I wonder if he’s a lil narcissistic sometimes. I’m not ready to be a pastors wife.
No matter what its not if we think another person is ready. If God says he is then he is. No one is perfect. He will always have something to work on as you will also. But then again maybe the Lord is telling him that he will one day be a pastor not necessarily anytime soon. Every pastor, every evangelist and every minister (and so on) are sinners. Confirmation comes from GOD no one else. And when or if he receives confirmation from God he won't need anyone else's opinion. He is to do Gods work no matter who disagrees.
Timothy 3:12
How About God Telling You "He" Called You? Shalom
The anointing or gift to teach and preach can not be legislated by age. Jesus taught as a child
Jesus knew the beginning from the end at that age. Jesus ministry started at age 30.
It's a reason Jesus once said pray for Laborers not that he was referring only to Pastors but I think when it comes to people "called" to preach...you the human/Pastor/congregation should deter the person... because people have human emotions and feelings...alot of people in their feelings shouldn't stop someone who feels called to preach.
Why am I judging the way these three men are sitting lol. The first from the left sits like I'm a man, second sits like he is free and comfortable and the third sits like he is strategic in decision making. I bet you I'm correct. Just saying.
If you don’t feel comfortable with that language perhaps you haven’t been called. Maybe you desired to preach and followed the path to preaching much like others follow career paths. Being called is an experience we see more than a few times in the Bible. Same God back then is the same God right now.
Correct me but didn’t Jesus teach as a child? 👀 you know being about His Father’s business.. 🤷🏾♀️
Jesus is God
Jeremiah 1:6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
Jeremiah 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Someone told me I was called to do this and I didn’t believe it lol. But not was confirmation of a dream. It’s kinda scary
good stuff here. i believe in the internal and external call. i think it's biblical and it protects us from false prophets and wolves. :)
I have a heart to be a chaplain.
then go for it and let the LORD do the rest.if it meant to be it will happen.

explain that internal but not external you don't have a calling please.
Don't know why this video was recommended to me and I don't know who these guys are or even watched the video for that matter. The only reason that I clicked on this video was because I swore that that thumbnail looked like the picture of when Henry Louis Gates Jr, James Crowley and President Obama (then future and now current President Biden is in some shots also) met at the Whitehouse back in 2009. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Often the person of God will be seeking God for themselves, family and the church will not always be receptive because of how they watched you as a child, or they are spiritually dead, and the biggest element that will try to discourage is Satan himself, his goal is to prevent you from listening to God, or to distract you by other means. Study God's word, pray more read more, love people more, it will become tougher, but when God sees your faith He will reveal His mission for you step by step.
Remember not the whole vision, but peice by peice.
You know what is sickening about this is who are any of you to judge what God calling someone to do? I told my church that I felt like God was calling me to preach and it’s not that I had a feeling it’s because I had DREAMS of me being in the stand preaching. A lot of dreams. I even had dreams that my moderator didn’t believe I was saved and called. This was a year before they excluded me. But these brothers started saying stuff that was out of line in the stand about me and I confronted them about it and a week later I was excluded from my home church. Today I had a dream that I was preaching and people around me was rejoicing and praising God.. I don’t know how clearer God can get in what he wants me to do. But it seems like men keep getting in the way. The devil hates it. How about you elders start to listen and stop looking down on young brothers who have that feeling of being called because one day you will be gone and these young brothers will be the ones stepping in you’re place.
Brother Daniel Creech Just because you have dreams to preach doesn’t mean you have a life to do it? You see they have experience with “people being called , and dreamers,”etc etc A dream is an example of grace not necessarily a calling to preach , the dream could be helping you realize Gods importance in life not to preach. This is why they say you’ll fall in love with the idea of teaching , attention, the social status etc not with God because preaching is indeed free. Just go and do it.
As humans we get that so confused. Having dreams isn’t a call and any realized person will know that. Also believing in dreams bringing forth a lifes call is dangerous to a person who is teaching to a mass. Because GOD is life. This would be a person teaching god in the name of dreams which could end up being messy. Second you need to explain why you got excluded from a church before trying to preach.
A gal?! 😳 wow...
so i am confused why are you uncomfortable with the word calling when talking about preaching??? so you dont think God calls people to preach how do they become one then please give a little more detail talking about the guy in the middles explaination
Some things need to be unlearned
women too:)
Yes agreed. But in support preaching with their husband; in my case.
that's awesome:) For me, I am not married and learning this calling God gave me.
Your Husband is on his way IJN... Keep following God's guidance and all will fall into place at the appointed time IJN Romans 8:28-30. God Bless you and your ministry :o)
Yes, he is own his way, until then I will just follow the call myself. I will be a leader on my own until the time comes where we can join our ministries. God bless you too and your ministry!
Amen, amen, amen :o) and thank you so very much. God Bless you:o)
stop listening to rap music and movies and listen to more men like this black males
Honestly gentlemen I did not see the Spirit alive here. I saw and listened to your arm chair opinions about what you believe should be the criteria for qualifying to be a preacher, however. I did not see the Spirit of the Lord as the foundation of your beliefs in this subject. If someone feels led by Christ to preach, whether that is in front of a congregation inside of a building, or to strangers on the street, that is that individuals mission in life to complete. At no time is it another man's place to say what is or what is not another man's calling is in life unless it is by Jesus Christ Himself. I would ask you men of God to prayerfully consider analyzing your beliefs and how you go about presenting them to the world, especially considering on the internet, many of the viewers may not be believers. If someone has the desire to spread the Word of God, why would you discourage that individual by making them feel as though they have to qualify in meeting your criteria in what being a preacher is? No brothers, we must spread the good news, be joyful and supportive when the people around us want to also share the message of hope and love in Christ Jesus. May God bless you.
I totally agree with you
A L I E N Salvation being a pastor is different from ONLY spreading the good news.
@@sarahs7253 The video is about being called to preach, not pastor.
Only God can tell you yes or no
Sometimes preachers forget and set them self's in higher standards. We are nobody's to say or judge. If you want to preach and ur heart tells you to preach then do it
I bet the spirit to you is some kind of mystical God told me to tell you type preaching huh?
If these brothers arent keeping all the laws and commandments, such as worshipping on Saturday, then listening to these pastors is the same as following the blind..and Yahawa (God) did NOT call them. We must be clean of our sins and Keep the Commandments and laws before we can teach or preach to anyone else..Yahawa wont choose you otherwise.
What?
The laws went away of Moses when Jesus Christ came before us after the fall of Adam. As of now we are redeemed through Christ Jesus through him we're in Grace and mercy of God. We don't have to operate through sacrificial means to please God but we're now covered if we believe in his son Jesus Christ in our hearts whom lived as man in flesh. The laws are presently of Christ Jesus the redeemer of all our Sins and imperfections we weren't and will never be able to uphold in perfection like him. We are Christians please believe Grace and Mercy our over us in the new testament days now otherwise our shortcomings if we still we operating in the old testament times before Jesus we'd be gone because of God's anger with our present sins and non-sacrificial practices or acts to be presented to God for his forgiveness. Jesus has alresdy taking the law and the need to for us before God. As believers he's our front runner in making us righteous before God. We aren't in law anymore. 1luv
