As a Native American I'm eternally grateful for the missionaries that came to our reservation. I'm not going to hell.
Glory to GOD
@Jesse Marcel Well..''Fear God, not man..'' man may kill the body, but God has the power to throw the soul to hell for eternity. Seek the Lord friend, while he may be found..
Praise God!
@Jesse Marcel I understand where ur coming from but if you want to hang onto your bitterness and resentment towards Christianty that's your choice. I choose to forgive just as Christ forgave me. Alot of atrocities were committed in the name of Christ and not everyone who calls themselves Christians are. The Bible says by their fruits ye shall know them. Jesus himself was crucified by his own people but it was all part of God's plan. I don't serve a dead man I serve a risen Saviour . Get saved accept Jesus' gift of salvation I'll be praying for you.
@Jesse Marcel bless you.
His story really does inspires me. I am a man 24 years of age, and have been suffering depression for three years and holding a melancholic view of life. His journey of life shows me that I am not alone, and can work much for the glory of God for all the trials.
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.
John 1:1,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
John 3:18 KJV
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God
Brother, May the Lord heal you. 2 Corinthians 10 is helpful.
I am extremely grateful to Brainerd and other missionaries who preached the Gospel to the tribes. My great grandmother became a believer back in the early 1900s, likely due to a missionary or some sort of outreach to her tribe. Her legacy lives on today.
I fear to asked,is there a possibility were a missionary return from his mission
Praise the Lord.I have ministered in a reservation and colony in Nevada and it's true, many elderly people were Christians. Some people seeded the Word of God 🙏 before I went there. God bless all the missionaries who have given of themselves for the work of God.
"Issac McCoy: Apostle of the Western Trail" is a little known read along that line.
Daved Brained great inspiration to future generations of missionaries.
An honest and humble worker for the LORD. God uses the weak to show his strength. His dedication in sickness and depression shows the Spirit shining through to sustain him till he crossed the finish line. Praying more youth will abide in the vine to bear much fruit and shake up those in compromised churches. You will always feel more comfortable with God's people of another color than with unbelievers of the same skin color.
" Unshakable relationship with the God Who saved him", in spite of depression & sickness. God understands& is sympathizing with our weaknesses.
Wow what a testimony! I did notice of course that the professor made sure to say that David didn't lose his "superioritive European culture, what we would see today as racism..." 🙄. They can't help but try to tear down anything good. This was a man of God and he had a love for native Americans and praise God for his work!
Yeah, I was struck by that phrase, too! To borrow from old Joe, "C'mon man!"
If the native Americans went to Europe would they have wanted to give up their culture? Nope! Nobody does, it feels unnatural.
I was thinking the same thing. How can a man travailing in anguish for the salvation of Indian souls four hours upon hours, humble enough to live at their homes etc.. yeah, that doesn't seem like a fair observation.
I have read over and over again The Splendid life and Diary of David Brainerd, and I have found nothing, not one thing, that even comes close to racism. He was a great saint of God who genuinely loved the Native Americans, gave his life for them, was spent in loving service to bring them into the kingdom of God. There is no way that I am going to believe he was a racist
Great to see men and women of God continue faithfully in the Lord despite great obstacles. The Kingdom of God is among us. It’s great to be with those who follow our Lord, Savior, King Jesus.
David’s life inspired me so much many many years ago. Certainly did enjoy this video.
his diary "the life of David Brainard the unabridged version: GOD used this work to dig me out of a deep depression. I am so grateful for this work
I read David Brainard's Diary book back in the early 90's when I was first came to know JESUS. I love this man and all he did through Christ for the Native Americans and others.....!!!!! Especially since I live in the area he frequented on Long Island. AWESOME BOOK. The Life And Diary Of David Brainard. I do have a little Chrokee in me from my Grandfather through my Mother who is originally from NC.
Love the Cherokee people. Knew a family in Bryson City,NC. Our family went camping there growing up & we all loved that area & the Indians there!!!
I've been watching several movies on Christian heroes of the faith and I'm amazed at how much God allows them to suffer. David Brainerd: Expelled from Yale, his horse breaks a leg and he has to kill his horse, depression, tuberculosis, coughing blood. I guess I would expect God to spare him some of this since he is serving God. Makes me consider my own walk with Christ.
C T Studd was another missionary who suffered much with his health, but the Lord used him mightily,
Most real followers off God suffered why does that make you consider your walk?
@@denisSwe I’m not suffering anywhere near that type of pain. Is it because I’m not following Jesus as close as I should be or is my suffering yet in the future? “All who live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution”. 2Tim 3:12
@@inpursuitoftruth2681 I don’t know how close you are with God but o don’t believe it is why you are not suffering as much i believe it had to do with if you are preaching or what you are doing to give the devil the middle finger.
Yes I often wonder why this suffering happens and is allowed. Also have reconsidered my walk but then remember that God refines us in the fire if affliction. Bitter pill to swallow but this life is short compared to eternity.
Same as today. Those of us who are enthusiastic evangelists are unwelcome by those who are "lukewarm"
You are absolutely right. Any Christian who is on fire for the Lord", and wants to evangelise, is often treated with condescension, and even contempt, by people who should know better. Sadly, many so-called Christians are too attached to the comforts of this world, and don't want to risk their reputations by being "too zealous".
@@bobhutton1409 are you on fire for the Lord? Do you share the gospel at work.? At the gas pump in the grocery store excetera? And if so are you persecuted for your faith.
@@franktrautman2817
The Christian perspective on Suffering, been looking up Sermons quite often the last 3 yrs. And R.C. Sproul , Joel Beeke , Derek Thomas , Sinclair Ferguson and Geoff Thomas have
helped quite often.
And we are commanded by our
Commander in Chief to go make disciples , (ouch) plural.
Been Saved for many years and have been out and about many places,
but not many people have witnessed to
me. Bummer , and we are the land of the
Brave.
Hope this helps.
I spent part of my childhood in central New Jersey near Crosswicks, along the Crosswicksung Creek. We learned about David Brainerd in history class.
I lived in Cranbury. Been through Crosswicks. Bless U
Vision Video is a great channel.
Yes, it sure is and not a biased view.
Love this account of David Brainerd, a man who lived for Almighty God in his day and time.
Brainerd is quite an inspiration When it was said he would rather be with spirit filled Indians than secular whites that totally resonates with me on the flip side what Edward's tried to enforce I too would have fired him too Our righteousness is based om the GOD/MAN JESUS CHRIST where sin abounds grace abounds even more should we go on sinning God forbid
Trully inspiring life! This man's dedication and zeal for God brought many times tears to my eyes.
You have to read 'his' book. On his life and Diary
Please , put that concern , to action , ". . pray the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers, for the fields are white unto harvest . ." - St.John 4:1-42
You look young, train to be a missionary
or train your children. And speak with
Heart Cry Missionary Society. We did and
they helped both our children. Pray , study, memorize Scriptures , and go and share. Or send :)!
So good @markmckinney8488! This must truly be confirmation from God.. as I am at the very moment studying the Scriptures, specifically Ezekiel 22:29 on standing on the Gap before God for His people and Isaiah 6. I'm certainly on a kairos moment as I am receiving understanding and conviction on all these scriptures all day long. Not only that, but I'll be sharing for the first time on missions conference in England this weekend. This can't be coincidence.. God is so good. He's confirming my steps as I head towards fully surrendering my life to the nations of the earth for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which I know is what He has called me for. God bless, and thank you!!
Lord, flow through us wit Your Truths so we may live the same life our brother David lived. We would give our lives for Your purpose.
For anyone interested look up the Apostle to the american Indians the Biography of John Eliott by Gardiner. John Eliot ministered before and during King Philip's war even tried but failed to convert Philip. J.E. published from what I understand was the very first book printed in North America, the Holy Bible in the language of the Narragansett tribe.
Thank you brother
Thank God for his people
The catechism is not Christian. Catechism teaches. You’re saved by the Catholic Church. Christians teach your saved by the blood of the lamb. Jesus the Christ only can save!
Catechism can also mean "sound doctrine." But you're right, most people will think of Catholicism when they hear the word.
Great video a young life that didn't fit in with others religious behaviours but made for a purpose to reach these beautiful 1st Americans . Sometimes we don't fit in with 'normal!' Churches because we have a call . Hmmm even Jesus didn't fit in with the religion around! True religion doesn't always fit in! And sometimes we are called to a unique assignment! THANKS FOR WHOEVER DID THIS . THIS TOO IS AN ASSIGNMENT FOR GOD!
Amen!!!
True religion doesn’t always fit in! Thank you Jesus
Having his book in German, it‘s a very good possibility to hear your knowledge about David Breinard.
Thank you, this was inspiring.
If he had any thoughts of white supremacy he would have not put his life on the line for the native Americans. Very unfair comment for a man driven and constrained by the love of Christ to seek out those who had never heard that the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son cleanses us from all sin.
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:8-10))
The native Americans, although thousands of years removed from the near East and contact with the Sacred line and teachings of God's prophets still retained a lot of man's history. According to Andrew Blackbird, son of a chief of the Ottowa indians wrote in the 1800's of his people's history and beliefs as it was rapidly being erased by white expansion. Along with them having the same cosmological model of ht earth as the Bible, he also tells of his people knowing of the Great flood of Noah, of a prophet being swallowed by a great fish only to be spit up on shore alive after, and even a set of 21 commandments, very similar to the 10 given to Moses, with some Indian society type of additions.
David Brainerd will be rulling in heaven ..and be at te top of worship .....this young man lived for christ alone...
Thank you
🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤ "God bless America, may God shed His grace on thee..."
U totally missed the point of this story it’s not about ur right wing nationalism it’s about the kingdom of God
@@followingjesustv2846 no ingot the point. It is about Jesus Christ and because of this nations Christians foundations we have been blessed.
A right wing nationalist? Ok, sounds good to me 😁
@@lianacordova8094 it may sound good to you but it does not sound good to God. Lord Jesus said My kingdom is
Not of this world. John 18
@@followingjesustv2846 dear, I know what Jesus said. And no one ever said america is the kingdom of God. 🙄 The Bible does say blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord . And thats what America has always stood for. But We have allowed so much sin in our land that our hearts have grown cold. But that doesn't take away from what historically America has always been. A Christian nation.
@Liana Cordova I track Liana 😉
Great video!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
My heart aches that we do not see that happening now. I know there comes a time when the merciless will no longer be called.
I pray that this batiin, especially the young who gave been lied to sinve they were in diapers.
Lord hsve mercy. You delight in it.
Wow
I LOVE THIS I HAVE A BOOK ON HIM !
He should be better known. Let strive for that.
He's probably well known in heaven. On earth as in heaven would be very helpful to us here and now!
I disagree with their analysis in terms of what Brainerd was actually experiencing as related to his diaries. Whenever a psychologist attempts to explain the nearness a person becomes to Christ in solitude, he inevitably explains it away as "depression". It's NOT depression! The word "melancholy" may have had a cultural meaning, but it has also been a description by men who have drawn so near to God, that after seeing themselves in light of who God is, the experience sent them into a deep and "dark night of the soul" - a kind of spiritual anguish. It's a time of testing and refining by God of the inner man. It's a breaking of every dependency on flesh and human endeavor and a realignment of the mind, the will, and the emotions to the will of God - a dependency on Him above all else. This doesn't happen of our own volition but by God's undertaking. After all, "He who God uses greatly, He must first break greatly". Is this what Brainerd experienced? It could be.
Absolutely right so! In addition, it is imperative for a man to come under conviction, by God's grace through the Holy Spirit, of the depravity of man's heart. The natural state of man's heart is wicked to the core and there is no cure excepted for the grace of God through the sacrifice of Jesus at the cross... I believe Brother Brainerd really experienced this awakening and realised that the only way to inner peace with God is the total destruction on relying upon one self's goodness to deserve God's grace to overcome our sinful nature. Self is so wicked and intrinsically rooted in pride that the only way out to freedom is to crucify "self" at the cross, like denying oneself, pick up our cross and follow Jesus. I confess that it is an arduous walk of trials and errors but crucial for our spiritual growth to become mature men and women of God.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH!
São Tomé evangelizou a Índia e a América no ano 1❤
These preachers didn’t know the experience of “the joy of G-d’s salvation”. They tended to be very cerebral & intellectual, spiritually and devoid of any emotion whatsoever. You need both.
What are you talking about? Do you even know what the Gospel is?
Maybe they have experienced not only the might of Christ's ressurection but also the impartation in His suffering?!
True. Worship in spirit and truth.
Great hombre of god.

The Gospel of salvation of our souls: 💜💕❤️❤️❤️💕 💕❤️💕❤️📖✝️🕎💡💡❤️❤️💞💜💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,
"Mild upset": Spitting blood.
That’s called modesty.

"The Creator" not a pre-American concept. Taught by us to them.
Accordin to their own law, those who "sold" Manhattan didn't own it because they hadn't occupied it for 2 years continuously. Thus they pulled a scam in claimin ownership of the island.
..."indentured servant" is a soft term for slave/enslaved...many Europeans that came to the Americas came out of the orphanages and prisons by way of indentured servitude and many did not last. It is sad how many were stolen from Ireland and Scotland and dumped on the shores of the Americas. It is only by the manifest power of the Great Spirit that some of the tribes took some of the people in...there's to much to be said here...all and all, it is quite interesting the true history of European backgrounds and further their forced occupation in the sacred lands of Turtle Island (America).
This is a very dry account, with no real emphasis on God at all. If this was really an exposition on this history, it should certainly look at the reasons the "awakening" occurred, instead of focussing on broken rules and culpability and trouble making, when students spoke out about "dead religion"!
Disappointing!

Did jesus have a license to preach
Jesus OBEYED His Father .Jesus learned to be submissive to the Father God by obedience to Him….. in good & bad times.
I have never heard of there being licenses to preach in his day
