Big shout out from Manitoba, Canada. We are tired of masks, vaccines, and mandates! Most of all we are tired of the liars, and the sellouts/government leaders that do NOT care about our safety. We stand united in the body of Christ, ready to take back our FREEDOM! God Bless, and never give up hope! 🙏🏻
Hey brother! I live in Lockport, I was down at the legislature the other day helping the protesters and truckers. Thank God March 1 mandates are being lifted 🙌
I wept while I was listening to this. I cry out to God for strength to bow to none but Jesus. I cry out for courage to not love my life more than I love my God. I cry out for eyes to be opened, for the veil to be removed, for believers to love the truth and not be deceived. I cry out for mercy from God to deliver us from tyrants. I cry out for my children to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. I cry because this message that is from God Almighty to His church is a call to get ready because this message will have consequences. God's dividing line is drawn right through the middle of our hearts and as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
@Psalm 2:8-9 I'm assuming, by your name, that you are a believer. But I'm confused about how you have been responding to people's comments. You are just being down right rude and mean. There are ways of getting your opinion and ideas across without attacking our brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes it's hard to read people's true feelings in their postings, I get that, but to call God's people names saddens us and just causes unnecessary division in the church body. Plus, your salvation isn't hinged on what color you think Jesus was. He was Jewish which tells me he wasn't black. But hey, I'll look into it. Have a good day.
@Psalm 2:8-9 considering none of us were alive when those atrocities you mention were occurring, it's kinda hard for you to make the accusation that we wouldn't have drawn the line. Also shows how even you acknowledge that governments are capable of committing great evils. Your attempt to move the goal post and shift the burden of proof unto us reveals an inconsistency in your view. So why don't you answer the original question you were asked: does the Christian have a responsibility to stand against a tyrannical government? Or do we allow them to take free reign in this world and follow their every order, even in opposition to God's Word?
@Psalm 2:8-9 lots of accusations being thrown, making statements about what I believe based off of an assumption about my race I'm guessing, although I can't be sure as your reply to me doesn't seem to be a linear line of thought. I'm happy to hear your explanation though so we can discuss what I actually believe further and what you believe and maybe use scripture to confirm it.
@Psalm 2:8-9 No, it's only disobedience when the government isn't doing anything evil. You'd have to be blind not to see the communism creeping into daily life now. So, your point is mute.
Agreed. However, we don't need to overcomponsate to make a point. Jeff is sloppy in the use of "rightoues deception" (timestamp 54:18): Would the principle of "righteous deception" be applicable in, say, the lunchroom if a grade-schooler is bullying another kid and asks, "what is in your lunch?" What about the boardroom and reporting false numbers to damage the company because the company you work for is supporting abortion? What about the bedroom: admitting to adultery would damage your already "frail and failing" husband? Pastor Jeff, what is the principle or ironclad standard to keep the idea of "righteous deception" from becoming deception by design?
O I thank you so much for your biblical teaching I could dance in the street. My church Elders have now told us we can't sing praises to God in our church because our state says no. NO WAY! I refuse to not sing my praise to my God whose love is better than life to me. O thank you Pastor for saying what I know in my heart through the Word but am not gifted to put it all together like you did. O I thank God for you and this sermon.
In my state, churches are exempt from many of the mandates but are strongly encouraged to take precautions. I’m so sad that you are dealing with that. Are there many states who restrict how people worship??? Or is this how your elders are interpreting things!
Dear sweet sister, I sense that there are other deep revelations within you that currently you have no words for and God wants to give you the words for those things. Please forgive me if I speak amiss here but I sense also that your relationship with the Lord, your experience of His presence, is not shared by many people around you which can make you feel strange, alone. It saddens the spirit when one has to quell their joy because they do not see the same joy in Christians around them. It sounds like you have surpassed the wisdom of those around you. You have a very special relationship with God, a special gifting. Do not be surprised if you do not discover many others that share it. My prayer for you is that God will grow you in your confidence that you hear His voice. It can liberate you.
I sure would love to hear this message proclaimed in Canada especially churches that have bowed. Thank you for preaching Christ as King and Ruler over all.
Amen, this is confirming. I've been feeling so suppressed in these days. We need a teachers that have courage to stand against such oppression and tyranny. Thank you, God bless you🙏
But God is a tyrant. How can you be against tyranny and worship a tyrant. Because that is what a monotheistic God is. A tyrant. Polytheistic religions atleast can be a democracy but monotheistics can't
Romans 12:3 NKJV - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Yes! I love a pastor with a spine who will firmly and proudly declare Christ above all and call out/resist corrupt leaders and policies. I just found your channel and my life is richer for it. You are a true gem! Keep it up and God bless you, brother!
We have been studying 1Peter, Roman's, Daniel, Jeremiah, Acts, The Gospels... ALL of them undeniably say to be subject to Emperors and governor and EVERYONE!... Accept when it directly defies God's word. I would be more than happy to discuss it. The Bible is clear.
The idea (I think) is that: 1. God commands us to love our neighbor 2. Loving your neighbor means defending your neighbor 3. Therefore, when government harms your neighbor, you defend your neighbor against government, which is in nature rebellion to government. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but, I think that's the idea.
I can't even find the words to adequately express it -- thank you for the part this sermon played in God answering my prayers for guidance and clarity.
@Johnny Irenchi thank you. I am confident of that. Just missing church people and sad about the DIVISION, questioning if I’m crazy sometimes. 😜 My entire family chose not to come to my daughter’s wedding because of the PLANdemic. Almost all of my husband’s family also. I’m realizing I will prob never see my step-father (hasn’t left the house in 9 mos) and step-mother again (living in fear, we’re just potential spreaders now). The sermon was very encouraging. Hoping my husband will listen to it. 🙏🏼
@Johnny Irenchi wow. That’s great! I’m in Tx and church was only closed for maybe 3 weeks while they waited to see what was going on. Now we have one service with optional mask but temp and mask to enter. I have a really hard time going along with the deceit so we watch from home and only go to the twice a month evening worship where no mask or temp is required. Masks are “required” in almost all stores but illegal to enforce. I’m the only one not wearing them in stores and just recently was told to leave even though I said my doctor does not want me to wear a mask (true). The manager was nice but called the police, who ignored the law and refused to discuss it with me even though I was calmly explaining to them that it was illegal for them to deny me equal access. He was going to arrest me for trespassing if I didn’t leave (illegal arrest!). I get sad thinking of what kind of world my children and grandchildren will grow up in and just pray they cling to Christ.
As crazy as it may sound. I find Rev. 13:17...buying and selling must have the mark. Sounds like todays world. Have something else or you will not work, buy or sell.
I've had more than one person quote Romans 13 to me regarding lockdowns. I'm sorry but Romans 13 is not a license for the state to do whatever it wants. I don't know when that verse started to mean do whatever the government says.
I agree, there are circumstances where we must obey God over tyrants. "Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings! Acts 5:29 “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.”-Psalm 84:10
Romans 13 also sets a standard for governments to follow in verse 3: "For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;" Opening your business or anything that would've been normal in the past that involves human contact isn't evil behaviour, so the government should just leave us alone.
@@DankusMemicus I would disagree at this point. We got to do it safely. Meaning that we don't take unnecessary risks. It is a disease that kills people by causing their immune system to overreact and attack their organs. Some people who recover have long term symptoms. I know of a couple people have that.
If there ever ends up being a revival in America, you better believe Apologia will be front line and center along side church’s like Grace Community Church.
Revival is taking place, true revival is brought through tribulations. Through tribulations you see who are the true church of Christ. Revival took place during Nero Cesar’s reign, through Bloody Mary reign, and Joseph Stalin reign. Sadly many have a false understanding of revival, it is not a jubilee, it is an awakening of true believers.
Now that type of thinking is exactly how Lucifer got himself tossed out of heaven. 1st Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witch craft, and stubborness is as iniquity and idolatry" Does God not use tyranny for punishment for His people at times? Egypt and Babylonian captivity being prime examples...the enemy is planting these seeds as a trap to provoke people into acting in their flesh...this ungodly world is in this state because of sin and disobedience, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood...do not be decieved into this provocation. Hold fast to peace and love, and when you suffer rejoice! These are the commands of our Messiah...where in the bible does it instruct us to stand up and try to change things through our own power?
@@issaccook2065 precisely dear brother, and being owned by God...we must live as He teaches and not be a rebel like the enemy wants us to be. If people think this is bad, and they are already being provoked in their flesh, what will they do when tje great tribulation hits and it's a million times worse? We neen to endure and rely on God, not our own devices to deliver us
@@rickc.4723 ok these statements i understand and agree. Are you saying we need to prepare FOR the time of the mark by NOT rebelling NOW in preparation FOR the time when we will be persecuted for NOT accepting the mark? Because the last comment I spoke to you about, it sounded like you said those who do not take the mark are in the sin of witchcraft which is rebellion.
Sounds like what they are trying to get that pastor in Canada to renounce his messages for the jab and staying open From that tyrant who’s running canada
The wicked has always been with us. Look at the Sadducee and Pharisees . Nothing has changed only now Satan isn’t hiding any longer. Look at that pope and our government and the elite. They all think alike, act alike, there conscious’s are seared. One day they will stand before an almighty God who will pronounce righteous judgment. The evil worship pagans today, Mother Earth etc. this makes me sick to my stomach.
@@innyen19d why are you listening to the video? And if you didn’t listen, how do you know what he said? Do not be a hypocrite, judge righteous judgements.
@Psalm 2:8-9 you speak as though you know more than everybody else but your words indicate a hostility that is entirely unfounded. The things Durbin preaches on are fully in line with the scriptures. I double check the pastors I listen to so I can be sure they preach sound doctrine and I have not once seen evidence that he preaches anything heretical so watch who you condemn because if you're not careful, you will find yourself guilty of heresy yourself.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations. -Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
As an American Patriot in every sense of the word and having fought for this nation for 6 years through the 9-11 terrorist attacks, I approve this message. If your followers are wise, they would take the time to listen multiple times to the most misunderstood message today in the church; may they listen until it sinks in deeply to the cavern of patriotism in the human heart. God bless America!🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻

@@therion5458 there was mutual combat amongst the citizenry of old Rome (in italy), whether pagan, jew or the various sects/heresies amongst the Christians. It was never the doctrine of Christians to persecute others, but even the prophets knocked down idols and destroyed the temples of the nations. You will admit, Jesus never taught to kill anyone!
@@therion5458 also, you got your players wrong in history. It was Marcion who believed there were TWO gods...one of the old testament and another of the new testament. It was st. Irenaeus of Lyons who championed the oneness of God in time. So yes, marcion was a heretic and is in God's hands, not ours.
Sad, pagans are lost unregenerate self righteous reprobates. They do not know any better and do not understand their condition. They need the Holy Spirit to get them convicted !!
@@therion5458 The jewish Messiah is both a man and God. Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament so there is no question that Jesus and the Father are one.
Such a timely message. Love your neighbor by not spreading disease to them. Put others before your self by making sacrifices to ensure the safety of as many as possible. Not discrediting Jesus by showing his followers to be selfish and arrogant.
Listening to your message wants me to believe in cloning, you sir are a true man of God and we need thousands more of you. This is what the world needs today, it's called the Truth, right out of the Word of God.
We are to follow Jesus always. If my Government is going the same direction then I will also obey their laws and if they are not I will oppose them. Let's be honest in that not 1 nation is following God.
America is unique in that We The People are the ultimate authority after God. We can't forget that either. Another reason we are in the position we are all in now.

Just listened to this again for the second time and it’s even better then the first. I doubt this will be the last time I listen to this. Thank you so much for putting this out!
Thank you for this Brother Durban. I am a Latter Day Saint of Jesus Christ myself and half the time I feel that we have bowed the knee to Caesar by our compliance to limit our worship of Christ and our services. I have even told some friends that I won’t wear the mask because I feel that it’s a symbol of worship to Baal. Even at work my boss told me that need to submit to the mandates because the government is trying to keep me alive. And that freaked me out because Christ is the author of my life. And so many of my other Christian friends, from groups that you would recognize as true denominations are giving into this. And I am going where is our faith. Bless you for you’re honesty. Keep preaching the ultimate Lordship of the Lord Jesus. As I know you will
Get out, Joseph Smith was a false prophet. Its easy to be saved, Romans 10:9-10 is how, then let the bible "speak" to you and have that as your revelation, do not, i repeat DO NOT add to it! You are saved by grace trough faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) in the finished work of Christ. Things i havent heard apologia studios speak of like the future millenial kingdom of Christ and the rapture could be because they teach a deeply traditional form of calvinism which didnt teach these concepts. Here I disagree strongly and some roman catholic errors followed into the early reformed churches, but hey, its not a salvation issue and all in all they have a great pastor based on what i have seen of him, and i wouldnt mind sitting in this church. I rarely hear my favourite churches teach sermons like this, and this makes up for whats lacking in escheatology. But false prophets like Joseph Smith and yes roman catholicism IS DEFINITLY a salvation issue!
When it comes to all these “rules” imposed by “government” i am not interested in a single one. Did Daniel stop praying when told to? Did the 3 men bow and worship the statue? Did Jesus not heal on the sabbath? There are countless more examples of god first in the bible. Stand up to tyranny
@@bill8489 the romans 13 u mean that talks about submitting to government? does it talk in romans 13 what the governments job is? are they currently doing their romans 13 job?
@@johnpaulporrelli6208 Actually, the Bible doesn't say that government shutdowns, mask wearing, etc. are sins. So long as what the government is mandating isn't a sin, you're supposed to comply.
I was told Romans 13 meant forsake assembling together when the civil government tells you to, and only sing one psalm very quietly when they do allow you to meet. I was told 1 Corinthians 14:40 meant sanitize, wear a mask, sit three pews apart and follow the one way system. I was told, so as not to damage your witness, don't congregate at the front of the church after the service. I was told to show love to my neighbour by maintaining social distance. I was told this in a church that says Covenanters above the door and displays the blue banner behind the pulpit. I am at a loss.
I think you may have been lied to! While I am not suggesting we have no restraint, I will remind us all that Jesus touched a leper. We need physical interaction as physical beings. Social distance is killing us!
I’m sorry dear friend you’ve been lied to. That’s not accurate or scriptural. I heard someone try to argue for abortion rights using the Bible too. Many are being led astray by false doctrines which is talked about in the Bible. I encourage you to get a new church and check everything according to the Word. Get into the Word, pray... don’t be led astray www.openbible.info/topics/false_doctrines
I didn't expect it from them either. I never thought for a moment they'd close up. I understand back in March everyone was worried, and it was a big decision for church leaders, but it fairly quickly became evident the reality was nowhere near as bad as expected. And I don't believe they're lying as such. I believe they're sincere but have fully bought in to the propaganda, whilst forgetting their principles.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NIV
Art of War: “You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you’re capable of great violence, if you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless”
"The Tyrannical Government is the ravenous Lion.. the Constitution is the whip and the chair.. "We The People" are the lion tamer The church.. who resides under the protections of the Constitution.. has been remiss in her duties. Jesus said, "blessed are the peacemakers" Making peace can sometimes only be found after killing the lion
"Go along to get along" is a road that leads away from Jesus. Complying to tyrannical authority is cowardice and cowards tremble before tyrants as though God has no power to deliver, to protect, or to save. Jesus overcame this world and we overcome this world by following Jesus.
Pastor Jeff I want to thank you and yet maybe not! This message is a hard, sobering reminder that can cause one to truly examine the faith. I am so great full to have you to listen to and grow by. Do my words match my actions?
May we be so bold, so selfless, so loving and heavenly-minded in the race that we have been so graciously given to run right now. 🙏🏻 I am thankful for bold and loving pastors who stand for truth and are faithfully shepherding their flock through this, for the glory of God. Hallowed be His name ❤️
Thank you, Pastor Durbin. This is a timely message and we must all hear what the Lord is telling us. Our allegiance to Jesus must be above all else. Live or die: We don't bow! Thanks be to God! Give us the Grace to be fit vessels for your use, Oh Lord!
I tearfully confess to this message being the MOST POWERFUL AND SIGNIFICANT BEARER OF TRUTH for me as HIS image bearer and a lowly servant of the MOST HIGH! It answers so many of the quandaries I and my family have had these last months.

We are to obey and submit ourselves to our governments, rulers and laws even when unreasonable. Unless it contradicts Gods law. Romans 13 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 1st peter 2:18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh
@@71mach15 that's not what I said. I said we need to obey the laws unless it contradicts Gods instructions for us, as written in the scriptures I mentioned. Not allowing us to have fellowship with fellow christians is against Jesus Commandments. I do not condone slavery, I was simply stating what is written by the apostles. I never once mentioned slavery, and yes I understand what these tyrannical politicians and big tech companies are up to. Romans 13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience God bless , praise Jesus
@@71mach15 you gotta remember this was written during the Roman Empire! Nero Ceasar and worse emperors were persecuting the church. Christians are keepers of the peace, we must put God first but also as the scripture says we must obey our governments even when unreasonable. However if they tell us to do something contrary to Jesus Commandments we must not do so obviously. Perhaps you should read the scriptures and pray for discernment then you might understand the scripture. One thing I can tell you for sure is God certainly doesn't allow slavery. I'm just saying then telling us not to go to church is direct violation of God's commandments for us. For example wearing a mask however isn't, I don't like it and speak against it but I do it. Follow me?
In summary "Be a rebellious lamb" I know too many proclaimed Christians who seem to be itching to rebel for the sake of rebelling, not for the sake of the gospel. Be careful that your rebelling is for the sake of Christ, not for the sake of a flag
Interesting the examples that Jeff uses from the Bible. The midwives from Exodus, the accounts in Daniel chapters 3 & 6, and the disciples in Acts chapters 4, 5. All resisted the state when told to do something against God's commands. Yet all of them submitted to the punishment that the state demanded for their disobedience. None of them took up arms in resistance to the state. Contrast that to the New England pastors that Jeff was praising for picking up their rifles and fighting the British.
While taking up arms against the state on an individual basis may be wrong… there is the principle of interposition where a lesser magistrate can make war on a higher magistrate who is acting tyrannical
Put it this way the midwives presence were not requested they were summoned ....i will defy the authorties..but when they sent the military bus to my house i went defiantly and expressed my defiance..and God gave me the wisdom to plead to the athourity and i was back home with family next day...it wiil all depend on the tyrant you face
Perhaps.. “One”.. If not “THEE” most On-Time sermon I’ve ever heard!!! 🔥🙌🏾🔥 Oh Holy Spirit.. THANK YOU for speaking through this man.. EXCELLENT message.. For such a time as this! Thank You for your Faithfulness, Obedience, and Courage Pastor Durbin!!!
One problem, you didn't represent the King Darius correctly when it came to Daniel bowing down and worshiping his God. You said it ticked the King off enough to put him in the lion's den, yet that's not exactly how the story goes.. as soon as he found out if was Daniel, the King sought how to free him, 13Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or the injunction you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.” 14Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed and set his mind to deliver Daniel. And he labored till the sun went down to rescue him. 15Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or ordinance that the king establishes can be changed.” Yeah he ended up throwing him in the den of the lion's but it wasn't because he was ticked off at Daniel for worshiping his God, it was because the document he signed could not be broken according to the law of the Persians. So yeah. Be faithful to the text, that's all I'm saying. Other than that , good sermon bro
He inadvertently mixed up the king's response with the fiery furnace episode in chapter 3, which is a forgivable mistake, as he admitted several times that he needed to condense and hurry up the message for time. The point about boldly praying with the windows open under threat of punishment mustn't be lost. Also good to note the difference between Daniel's example of courage and the vanity of some. Jesus told us to not be like the pharisees who make a show of prayer to impress others, but to pray in earnest and in private. So yes, there's times like today when disobeying governors' immoral mask mandates is what we must do out of love for God and others.
@5930 oh god help us to be you centred as life seems to hold us to the worthless things of earth compared to you in your majestic glory. father grant me a desire to be in your word to get to know you more and away from the world that feeds me lies. pray for families that think that they need to fear the loss of everything that is dearest to them instead of losing it all to gain christ. help me as a single christian to relish to extra time to be with you as im not burdened with the family sacrafices that would take time away from you.
Powerfully clarifying message! King Jesus is a threat to any Caesar who does not recognize Him as such. I love how pastor pointed out throughout the teaching that love for God and our neighbors motivates resistance to tyrants. This is a great counter to the popular notion that we need to comply with edicts that the tyrant says are for our neighbor’s “safety” because compliance proves our love and compassion. And how we are selfish and unloving to resist. To be jealous for our neighbor’s freedom - spiritually, emotionally and physically - is at least as honorable as desiring his good health.

"I don't know when that verse started to mean do whatever the government says." IMO, it was when believers were fearful of displeasing the government. Worshipping and pleasing God was for Sundays...and only in church.
The verse is talking about a Holy government. Government was only ever meant to be a representation of God in earth. It wasn’t talking about obeying an antichrist Beast System that we see today, as many people will interpret it. To be logically consistent if we believed it as that, we would also have to obey Satan. Satan certainly has a lot of authority that was given to him by God (even way more than government has), but we are not to obey Satan. We are not to obey evil.
Acts 17 has been on my heart all week!! We have to be ready and willing to by Gods Grace and power turn the world upside down One King He is the Christ✝️
Very stirring and challenging message. I do have a question though. When he says we disobey the government when it forbids what God commands and commands what God forbids, and then talks about the war for independence, I am struggling to see the connection. What was it the British were commanding or forbidding that was contrary to God's commands? Forgive me if I'm missing the obvious, or my historical knowledge is poor.
I have a rebellious nature. I LOVE resisting authority ! I have turned this characteristic of mine against GODLESS REPROBATE AUTHORITY !!!! JESUS IS KING !!
What he is saying is not consistent with the Scriptures or the history of the church that the Scriptures expose. Paul NEVER encouraged people to defy or resist the government in their communities he visited, except when it came to not denying Jesus Christ. Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were..." You will never win everyone to Christ. Jesus didn't. Paul didn't. Peter didn't. John didn't. Nobody did. In fact, in Acts, Paul said to Jews: "It was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles." In instances where they were imprisoned wrongly (by the state), neither Jesus, nor Paul nor Peter encouraged their followers to physically fight for them. Jesus even chastised Peter for trying to defend Jesus Himself. And, there is no Scriptural record that the church made any physical assaults to protect anyone from dying a martyr's death. They gathered and prayed and fasted, as a community of believers, instead. So, if by resistance and defiance, we are talking about (1) standing rather than bowing to another image, (2) praying despite an edict not to, (3) praying and worshipping God, (4) speaking the Truth even when people don't want to hear it or even when they make it illegal, THEN, Scripture agrees with you. If we are talking about physical resistance, that is not representative of the Scriptural example God has given us. You can come up with some pretty wacky justifications, if you start interpreting "love you neighbor" any way your flesh wants you to see it. Not being silent and being aggressive are very different things.
Yes, there should have been more definition of what resistance means, and certainly within a Christian worldview, not an American historical military one.
You are defining resistance in a narrow context..resist lockdowns, Resist vaccines ,, march in the streets when necessary..it all depends on the level of tyrany...we were suppose to be the Governent who the prophet isiah said jesus will bring upon his shoulders showing what the heavenly kingdom looks like on earth
What he is saying is consistent with scripture but not consistent with christianity..todays christisn wants to interpet the scriptures according to the cosy relationship that existed between the pharscees and Rome..and the cosy relationship between catholics anglicans etc and the state.christ spoke against that.and he feels the same way today..yes it will cost us

I wept while I was listening to this. I cry out to God for strength to bow to none but Jesus. I cry out for courage to not love my life more than I love my God. I cry out for eyes to be opened, for the veil to be removed, for believers to love the truth and not be deceived. I cry out for mercy from God to deliver us from tyrants. I cry out for my children to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. I cry because this message that is from God Almighty to His church is a call to get ready because this message will have consequences. God's dividing line is drawn right through the middle of our hearts and as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

@Psalm 2:8-9 I'm assuming, by your name, that you are a believer. But I'm confused about how you have been responding to people's comments. You are just being down right rude and mean. There are ways of getting your opinion and ideas across without attacking our brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes it's hard to read people's true feelings in their postings, I get that, but to call God's people names saddens us and just causes unnecessary division in the church body. Plus, your salvation isn't hinged on what color you think Jesus was. He was Jewish which tells me he wasn't black. But hey, I'll look into it. Have a good day.
Amen Katherine!

"When the state forbids what God commands, or commands what God forbids, they must be resisted."
That belongs on a tee shirt.
So,psalm2, where do you draw the line with obeying Govt mandates?
@Psalm 2:8-9 considering none of us were alive when those atrocities you mention were occurring, it's kinda hard for you to make the accusation that we wouldn't have drawn the line. Also shows how even you acknowledge that governments are capable of committing great evils. Your attempt to move the goal post and shift the burden of proof unto us reveals an inconsistency in your view. So why don't you answer the original question you were asked: does the Christian have a responsibility to stand against a tyrannical government? Or do we allow them to take free reign in this world and follow their every order, even in opposition to God's Word?
@Psalm 2:8-9 lots of accusations being thrown, making statements about what I believe based off of an assumption about my race I'm guessing, although I can't be sure as your reply to me doesn't seem to be a linear line of thought. I'm happy to hear your explanation though so we can discuss what I actually believe further and what you believe and maybe use scripture to confirm it.
That belongs in the heart of EVERY CHRISTIAN
@Psalm 2:8-9 No, it's only disobedience when the government isn't doing anything evil. You'd have to be blind not to see the communism creeping into daily life now. So, your point is mute.
We need more robust pastors like this throughout the USA and the world -- good expository preaching! Amen!
I’m so over these mask mandates that I read your comment as “good respiratory preaching!” LOL
@Trail Blazer so is hatred
Agreed. However, we don't need to overcomponsate to make a point. Jeff is sloppy in the use of "rightoues deception" (timestamp 54:18): Would the principle of "righteous deception" be applicable in, say, the lunchroom if a grade-schooler is bullying another kid and asks, "what is in your lunch?" What about the boardroom and reporting false numbers to damage the company because the company you work for is supporting abortion? What about the bedroom: admitting to adultery would damage your already "frail and failing" husband? Pastor Jeff, what is the principle or ironclad standard to keep the idea of "righteous deception" from becoming deception by design?
O I thank you so much for your biblical teaching I could dance in the street. My church Elders have now told us we can't sing praises to God in our church because our state says no. NO WAY! I refuse to not sing my praise to my God whose love is better than life to me. O thank you Pastor for saying what I know in my heart through the Word but am not gifted to put it all together like you did. O I thank God for you and this sermon.
In my state, churches are exempt from many of the mandates but are strongly encouraged to take precautions. I’m so sad that you are dealing with that. Are there many states who restrict how people worship??? Or is this how your elders are interpreting things!
@Sabbath 7th day I think we should worship him and rest in him every day. 🥰
Dear sweet sister, I sense that there are other deep revelations within you that currently you have no words for and God wants to give you the words for those things. Please forgive me if I speak amiss here but I sense also that your relationship with the Lord, your experience of His presence, is not shared by many people around you which can make you feel strange, alone. It saddens the spirit when one has to quell their joy because they do not see the same joy in Christians around them. It sounds like you have surpassed the wisdom of those around you. You have a very special relationship with God, a special gifting. Do not be surprised if you do not discover many others that share it. My prayer for you is that God will grow you in your confidence that you hear His voice. It can liberate you.

The Bible is clear.
I love you Jeff. JESUS is indeed Lord but the question is, how are we to act in response. Still listening. 2nd time. Hit me up!
The idea (I think) is that:
1. God commands us to love our neighbor
2. Loving your neighbor means defending your neighbor
3. Therefore, when government harms your neighbor, you defend your neighbor against government, which is in nature rebellion to government.
I'm not sure how I feel about it, but, I think that's the idea.

@Johnny Irenchi thank you. I am confident of that. Just missing church people and sad about the DIVISION, questioning if I’m crazy sometimes. 😜 My entire family chose not to come to my daughter’s wedding because of the PLANdemic. Almost all of my husband’s family also. I’m realizing I will prob never see my step-father (hasn’t left the house in 9 mos) and step-mother again (living in fear, we’re just potential spreaders now). The sermon was very encouraging. Hoping my husband will listen to it. 🙏🏼
@Johnny Irenchi wow. That’s great! I’m in Tx and church was only closed for maybe 3 weeks while they waited to see what was going on. Now we have one service with optional mask but temp and mask to enter. I have a really hard time going along with the deceit so we watch from home and only go to the twice a month evening worship where no mask or temp is required. Masks are “required” in almost all stores but illegal to enforce. I’m the only one not wearing them in stores and just recently was told to leave even though I said my doctor does not want me to wear a mask (true). The manager was nice but called the police, who ignored the law and refused to discuss it with me even though I was calmly explaining to them that it was illegal for them to deny me equal access. He was going to arrest me for trespassing if I didn’t leave (illegal arrest!). I get sad thinking of what kind of world my children and grandchildren will grow up in and just pray they cling to Christ.

I've had more than one person quote Romans 13 to me regarding lockdowns. I'm sorry but Romans 13 is not a license for the state to do whatever it wants. I don't know when that verse started to mean do whatever the government says.
I agree, there are circumstances where we must obey God over tyrants.
"Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings!
Acts 5:29
“For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.”-Psalm 84:10
Romans 13 also sets a standard for governments to follow in verse 3:
"For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;"
Opening your business or anything that would've been normal in the past that involves human contact isn't evil behaviour, so the government should just leave us alone.
And Paul was beheaded for not doing whatever Cesar asked him to do. So obviously that is a misreading of Rom 13

Sadly many have a false understanding of revival, it is not a jubilee, it is an awakening of true believers.

Now that type of thinking is exactly how Lucifer got himself tossed out of heaven. 1st Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witch craft, and stubborness is as iniquity and idolatry" Does God not use tyranny for punishment for His people at times? Egypt and Babylonian captivity being prime examples...the enemy is planting these seeds as a trap to provoke people into acting in their flesh...this ungodly world is in this state because of sin and disobedience, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood...do not be decieved into this provocation.

I am a Latter Day Saint of Jesus Christ myself and half the time I feel that we have bowed the knee to Caesar by our compliance to limit our worship of Christ and our services. I have even told some friends that I won’t wear the mask because I feel that it’s a symbol of worship to Baal.
Even at work my boss told me that need to submit to the mandates because the government is trying to keep me alive. And that freaked me out because Christ is the author of my life. And so many of my other Christian friends, from groups that you would recognize as true denominations are giving into this. And I am going where is our faith. Bless you for you’re honesty.

Get out, Joseph Smith was a false prophet. Its easy to be saved, Romans 10:9-10 is how, then let the bible "speak" to you and have that as your revelation, do not, i repeat DO NOT add to it! You are saved by grace trough faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) in the finished work of Christ. Things i havent heard apologia studios speak of like the future millenial kingdom of Christ and the rapture could be because they teach a deeply traditional form of calvinism which didnt teach these concepts. Here I disagree strongly and some roman catholic errors followed into the early reformed churches, but hey, its not a salvation issue and all in all they have a great pastor based on what i have seen of him, and i wouldnt mind sitting in this church. I rarely hear my favourite churches teach sermons like this, and this makes up for whats lacking in escheatology. But false prophets like Joseph Smith and yes roman catholicism IS DEFINITLY a salvation issue!
When it comes to all these “rules” imposed by “government” i am not interested in a single one. Did Daniel stop praying when told to? Did the 3 men bow and worship the statue? Did Jesus not heal on the sabbath? There are countless more examples of god first in the bible. Stand up to tyranny

Live or die: We don't bow! Thanks be to God! Give us the Grace to be fit vessels for your use, Oh Lord!

Excellent sermon. If only all pastors preached with this kind of conviction.

We are to obey and submit ourselves to our governments, rulers and laws even when unreasonable. Unless it contradicts Gods law.
Romans 13
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
1st peter 2:18
Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh
@@71mach15 that's not what I said.
I said we need to obey the laws unless it contradicts Gods instructions for us, as written in the scriptures I mentioned. Not allowing us to have fellowship with fellow christians is against Jesus Commandments.
I do not condone slavery, I was simply stating what is written by the apostles. I never once mentioned slavery, and yes I understand what these tyrannical politicians and big tech companies are up to.
Romans 13
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience
God bless , praise Jesus
@@71mach15 you gotta remember this was written during the Roman Empire! Nero Ceasar and worse emperors were persecuting the church. Christians are keepers of the peace, we must put God first but also as the scripture says we must obey our governments even when unreasonable. However if they tell us to do something contrary to Jesus Commandments we must not do so obviously.
Perhaps you should read the scriptures and pray for discernment then you might understand the scripture.
One thing I can tell you for sure is God certainly doesn't allow slavery.
I'm just saying then telling us not to go to church is direct violation of God's commandments for us. For example wearing a mask however isn't, I don't like it and speak against it but I do it. Follow me?
Every A.MERICAN SHOULD HEAR THIS
In summary "Be a rebellious lamb"
I know too many proclaimed Christians who seem to be itching to rebel for the sake of rebelling, not for the sake of the gospel. Be careful that your rebelling is for the sake of Christ, not for the sake of a flag
This man walked straight of of American history, he preaches like the great men of the black robe regiment.
Interesting the examples that Jeff uses from the Bible. The midwives from Exodus, the accounts in Daniel chapters 3 & 6, and the disciples in Acts chapters 4, 5. All resisted the state when told to do something against God's commands. Yet all of them submitted to the punishment that the state demanded for their disobedience.
None of them took up arms in resistance to the state.
Contrast that to the New England pastors that Jeff was praising for picking up their rifles and fighting the British.
While taking up arms against the state on an individual basis may be wrong… there is the principle of interposition where a lesser magistrate can make war on a higher magistrate who is acting tyrannical
Put it this way the midwives presence were not requested they were summoned ....i will defy the authorties..but when they sent the military bus to my house i went defiantly and expressed my defiance..and God gave me the wisdom to plead to the athourity and i was back home with family next day...it wiil all depend on the tyrant you face
Perhaps.. “One”.. If not “THEE” most On-Time sermon I’ve ever heard!!! 🔥🙌🏾🔥 Oh Holy Spirit.. THANK YOU for speaking through this man.. EXCELLENT message.. For such a time as this! Thank You for your Faithfulness, Obedience, and Courage Pastor Durbin!!!
One problem, you didn't represent the King Darius correctly when it came to Daniel bowing down and worshiping his God. You said it ticked the King off enough to put him in the lion's den, yet that's not exactly how the story goes.. as soon as he found out if was Daniel, the King sought how to free him,
13Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or the injunction you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
14Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed and set his mind to deliver Daniel. And he labored till the sun went down to rescue him. 15Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or ordinance that the king establishes can be changed.”
Yeah he ended up throwing him in the den of the lion's but it wasn't because he was ticked off at Daniel for worshiping his God, it was because the document he signed could not be broken according to the law of the Persians. So yeah. Be faithful to the text, that's all I'm saying. Other than that , good sermon bro
HalleluYah 🙏🏻

A byproduct of political/nationalistic hindsight surely.
He inadvertently mixed up the king's response with the fiery furnace episode in chapter 3, which is a forgivable mistake, as he admitted several times that he needed to condense and hurry up the message for time. The point about boldly praying with the windows open under threat of punishment mustn't be lost. Also good to note the difference between Daniel's example of courage and the vanity of some. Jesus told us to not be like the pharisees who make a show of prayer to impress others, but to pray in earnest and in private. So yes, there's times like today when disobeying governors' immoral mask mandates is what we must do out of love for God and others.
@@johnolsovsky That's a huge leap in logic my friend.
Bow to no one but Jesus
@5930 oh god help us to be you centred as life seems to hold us to the worthless things of earth compared to you in your majestic glory. father grant me a desire to be in your word to get to know you more and away from the world that feeds me lies. pray for families that think that they need to fear the loss of everything that is dearest to them instead of losing it all to gain christ. help me as a single christian to relish to extra time to be with you as im not burdened with the family sacrafices that would take time away from you.
This is excellent instruction on what it means to be a god fearing christian.
Jesus answered Pilate, my kingdom is not of this World...
The Kingdom of God is Jesus’ Church - encompassed by the true believers (as opposed to the city of man)
Powerfully clarifying message!
King Jesus is a threat to any Caesar
who does not recognize Him as such.
I love how pastor pointed out throughout the teaching that love for God and our neighbors motivates resistance to tyrants.
This is a great counter to the popular notion that we need to comply with edicts that the tyrant says are for our neighbor’s “safety” because compliance proves our love and compassion. And how we are selfish and unloving to resist.
To be jealous for our neighbor’s freedom - spiritually, emotionally and physically - is at least as honorable as desiring his good health.
Solid word!
Against the persecution of a tyrant the godly have no remedy but prayer. John Calvin.
Defying tyrants ? Hmmm , like the sounds of that. Im willing to die for it. Who else is?
I am
But are you willing to live and die for Christ? This isn't about patriotism.
@@steve-christinebauer4467 @@steve-christinebauer4467 yes I am. Tyrants love abortion, LGBTQ, and everything God hates. I died 10 years ago twice in one night. Rocked my religious world to the core. Saw heaven, saw hell, met my aborted grand daughter too. Yup I'm willing to die standing up for the Kingdom. Im currently in the process of dieing. Everyone is. Got everything to gain, nothing to lose my friend. Blessings to you. Your right its not about patriotism.
Thank you brother for such a clear message of our position as followers of our Great King and Savior. It encouraged me to recognize and stand against tyranny in obedience to Him.
Praise Gods! Ive been really needing this message since my pastor has gone on a month long premillennial rant that has hardly spoke to the issues of our time.
#eschatologymatters
Our pastors don’t want to talk about it with the congregation.
Perhaps you might begin looking for a local fellowship that embraces a more optimistic eschatology.
@@mchristr I’ve been opening up to the idea... I’m not sure how to find any
@Psalm 2:8-9 sir... you are lost. What does it benefit you to highlight ethnicity in this comment section? In what way are you showcasing yourself to be a child of God?
The Premillennial view is the biblical view.
Amen 🙏🏼 Father, thank You for Your Word which is life and health to my soul. I trust that You are working behind the scenes for my good. I will hide Your Word in my heart, knowing that it will be well with me because You are good and faithful in Jesus’ name. Amen. Isaiah 3:10
"I don't know when that verse started to mean do whatever the government says."
IMO, it was when believers were fearful of displeasing the government. Worshipping and pleasing God was for Sundays...and only in church.
Do what they say UNTIL it goes against God and the Bible, our final authority
The verse is talking about a Holy government. Government was only ever meant to be a representation of God in earth. It wasn’t talking about obeying an antichrist Beast System that we see today, as many people will interpret it. To be logically consistent if we believed it as that, we would also have to obey Satan. Satan certainly has a lot of authority that was given to him by God (even way more than government has), but we are not to obey Satan. We are not to obey evil.
Acts 17 has been on my heart all week!!
We have to be ready and willing to by Gods Grace and power turn the world upside down

Had not heard of rumble; thank you very much! Had been on bitchute and occasionally on vimeo. CZcams has long become a type of Satanic synagogue.
I have been practicing this since I was a little kid. and for this reason. That was my purpose and I am loving it....
Very stirring and challenging message. I do have a question though. When he says we disobey the government when it forbids what God commands and commands what God forbids, and then talks about the war for independence, I am struggling to see the connection. What was it the British were commanding or forbidding that was contrary to God's commands? Forgive me if I'm missing the obvious, or my historical knowledge is poor.
I have a rebellious nature. I LOVE resisting authority ! I have turned this characteristic of mine against GODLESS REPROBATE AUTHORITY !!!! JESUS IS KING !!
Satan is rebel 😳
What he is saying is not consistent with the Scriptures or the history of the church that the Scriptures expose. Paul NEVER encouraged people to defy or resist the government in their communities he visited, except when it came to not denying Jesus Christ. Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were..." You will never win everyone to Christ. Jesus didn't. Paul didn't. Peter didn't. John didn't. Nobody did. In fact, in Acts, Paul said to Jews: "It was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles." In instances where they were imprisoned wrongly (by the state), neither Jesus, nor Paul nor Peter encouraged their followers to physically fight for them. Jesus even chastised Peter for trying to defend Jesus Himself. And, there is no Scriptural record that the church made any physical assaults to protect anyone from dying a martyr's death. They gathered and prayed and fasted, as a community of believers, instead. So, if by resistance and defiance, we are talking about (1) standing rather than bowing to another image, (2) praying despite an edict not to, (3) praying and worshipping God, (4) speaking the Truth even when people don't want to hear it or even when they make it illegal, THEN, Scripture agrees with you. If we are talking about physical resistance, that is not representative of the Scriptural example God has given us.
You can come up with some pretty wacky justifications, if you start interpreting "love you neighbor" any way your flesh wants you to see it. Not being silent and being aggressive are very different things.
Yes, there should have been more definition of what resistance means, and certainly within a Christian worldview, not an American historical military one.
You are defining resistance in a narrow context..resist lockdowns, Resist vaccines ,, march in the streets when necessary..it all depends on the level of tyrany...we were suppose to be the Governent who the prophet isiah said jesus will bring upon his shoulders showing what the heavenly kingdom looks like on earth
What he is saying is consistent with scripture but not consistent with christianity..todays christisn wants to interpet the scriptures according to the cosy relationship that existed between the pharscees and Rome..and the cosy relationship between catholics anglicans etc and the state.christ spoke against that.and he feels the same way today..yes it will cost us
Thanks Pastor for being faithful to GOD in sharing GOD'S WORD thats relevant to our Time's.
