    My blessed brother Matt has a strength only the Holy spirit of God can create in a fallen man. God bless this man & let him die in Christ as all who are brethen shall die in Glory.

    Pastor Chandler I praise God for you, your ministry, and your faith. God is doing a mighty work through you. I asked God to show me more of who He is and He blessed me to stumble across one of your teachings. Of course I subscribed and told my family and friends. I've learned that It is not about me or what I do, or how hard I try to feel like I am doing right. It is about God and what He has already done, I've learned to thank Him and praise in and out of season. Also I am learning to get out of God's way and trust Him with my life, after all He created me, not visa versa, I have a stronger desire to read my word and pray. Thank You for trying so hard to get the message of the Gospel out to whoever will listen and for making it come to life in a plain and simple fashion. I pray that God will heal you of your cancer, so that all that are watching (medical staff included) can see the glorious healing power of the only true and living God. And I pray that you and your family have His peace with whatever His will is. You have touched my life in a mighty way and I really do thank God for you. May God continue to bless and keep you. To God be the glory forever!!!

    What a incredible young man. He is someone’s son and they have to be very proud of him
    Our 16 year old son faced leukemia and left us after 5 weeks He was strong much like thus man. I wasn’t and wasn’t ready. I was WAS in the health wealth prosperity side of the church for very long time. Didn’t start that way it just happened but now I am completely different and see everything exactly as this young man does. After my boy left it took a lot of me with him which had been good even though the pain is still after 4 years almost unbearable. I knew God was good and He coukd of healed Robbie but He didn’t. When my wife and I were collapsed on the hospital floor at 3am weeping I’m sure the whole floor could hear with hearts broken beyond what anyone has the capacity to even fathom that God would let someone feel, I knew God was good but something was VERY wrong with what I believed. Long story short I dedicated myself to what has become my quest to find answers I pretty much stopped listening to preachers or others and knew I needed to get everything directly from God DIRECTLY There was no room for mistake or deception. I needed to understand why and what happened So many say “ you will never understand why “
    I don’t and didn’t believe that. God was going to have to tell me that if it were so.
    Long story short God has been very very gracious and tender towards me and my wife. He has answered EVERY question yes EVERY question even the why believe it or not. Yet and this I’m sure won’t make sense to most, some of it I cannot put into words.
    This man’s teaching is a lot of what God has shown me and from it I realized the extreme and I MEAN EXTREME deception the prosperity doctrine is. I’m very concerned as millions millions are deceived right now and DO NOT KNOW IT.
    Here is bottom line
    I can’t try to teach it here although I do teach it just impossible here so I’ll just list the facts and the truths
    If you will see the gospel with these eyes I tell you the truth you will understand and know God better and your life will be better for it
    Death isn’t the enemy the way it’s been made out to be. God ALLOWED death to occur after the cross. He could have made it so as soon as anyone believed on Him their aging stops. No more sickness etc. He is God He coukd have done that but He didn’t God fully knew we would all die Dying is as much a part of life as living is It should be expected but we treat it like it’s the worst thing that could happen
    Here is something else
    Before I say this I want to tell you is after my boy Robbie left us I grabbed one of my bibles and a red and blue pen. Red would underline any ANY thing about heaven and the blue would be anything about pain suffering hardship trials. Let me just say this. My ENTIRE BIBLE IS FULL COMPLETELY FULL of red and blue. A thousand times more then you realize I guarantee it. Listening to teachers preachers teach and reading scripture to make their points I realized most were DRASTICALLY WRONG. That is how I even learned the term Heath Wealth Prosperity. I realized I had fallen into deception somehow along the way. I realized pain suffering trials and hardships we were told over and over would occur in our lives. We were also told over and over how salvation was all for a PURPOSE !!!!! Today we all talk about salvation salvation salvation. Certainly one of the two reasons we are here on earth still is to share the good news to share Gods likeness that’s in us to others but we have forgotten what we are saved FOR OR TO. Jesus endured three pain and suffering of all the cross represented for the JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM Heaven is Gods answer to a life of pain and He uses death as the passage to it
    Why WHY are we all so afraid of it when it’s a instant door to our inheritance ? I’ll tell you why. I know what I’m talking about because I have searched with my heart and I have been there. I know what it is to see deaths reality
    I also know what God has shown me. We fear death because we refuse to look at it. We refuse to accept it and yes embrace it. Those that do live better. They live more meaning and purpose just because they know they will die It’s coming that’s FOR SURE and most DO NOT die at 90 years old in our sleep. No one knows when it’s coming yet we live like it will never happen. Then when it does we are shocked and ripped and torn sometimes severely
    You have to PRESS IN and I mean REALLY REALLY press in to Gods word and prayer and seeking I mean SEEKING, go look for it like your looking for gold that’s worth a billion dollars and you know it’s there
    Seek out to understand what heaven is like. How REAL it is
    I’m going to write a book soon. It’s actually already written I refused to read any book written about heaven until about a year ago after God had already shown me most of what He has. Although there are a few really good books on heaven I know now after looking Thst God has shown me things that at least have not yet been written about Oh how I wish I could just go into all of that. It is no doubt the lost teaching in the church. It is the power and the strength of the true hope of heaven that is suppose to give us the staying strength to endure this fallen world There are HUNDREDS of scripture that prove it so WHY isn’t it being taught ??!
    I can only say what I know
    Satan evil deception has to be behind the health wealth prosperity message. It’s so deceptive it uses scripture and has a form of Godliness but it denies the power of it by twisting it. It twists in two ways. It throws power in Your hands by telling you it’s your faith and your knowledge of His promises that you can tap into whatever you want
    It also twists truth by focusing life here vs in Gods kingdom
    Satan has twisted tempted and millions and millions have fallen for the same temptation Satan threw at Jesus. He offered Him the whole WORLD
    Jesus didn’t want this world. He told His disciples He was going to prepare a better place for them so that where He would be they could be also. He told us if we find our life here we actually lose it. But if we lose our life here we find it
    Far too much for me to keep going
    My prayer is somehow you catch this. Somehow you lose life here and don’t let it entangle you

      God has blessed you with illumination. Your loss and subsequent suffering will prepare you for your future reunion with your son. It will be a much anticipated event that you wait patiently for with gladness. My prayer is that each day you recognize the power of the Lord to move even the hardest heart to surrender to His will and wisdom. To know and to truly believe as you believe is the magic of Grace, "God looked at you with favor as he allowed your heart to actually believe. Remember the guidance C S Lewis offered when he said " I believe in Christianity as I believe in the rising sun, not because I can see it but through I see everything else ..... you are truly loved!

    Wow. I am amazed at all "the different camps" I listen too, yet find the Holy Spirit speaking to me, even though I may not put faith in certain doctrines, I still find unity in the Spirit when there is no legalism taught from teacher's of God's Word. I greive in my heart over the lukewarmness in the surounding "building's called church" & I seek to please God ~not men in Christ' love. I am truly working out my own salvation in real fear and trembling and am aware of the enemy's attack thru it!

    Praise God brother/sister. By your own words you show that you have the work of the Holy Spirit within you. As it is written, by the grace of God I am what I am 1 Corinthians 15:10. Keep plowing forward my friend. I am in the same situation concerning the state of the "church/brick building down the street". It grieves me deeply how many are lost within the organized church. It creates a sense of loneliness anguish and a pleading for the lost. Hang in there my be strong and of good courage!

    Does anyone know if this beautiful brother is still with us and still preaching? I just recently found him, and he is wonderful! I could listen to him all day - and I have! I know about suffering, but not of his magnitude. He's in my prayers, that's a "gimmie".. may he be well. Thank you to anyone who can answer my question.. God bless everyone, you and yours.

    It's "explanations" like this which demonstrate how much you are willing to comprpmise to make the myth of your god hold true.

  • @timothyplumley
    @timothyplumley Před 10 lety +1

    suffering is through self denial, as when we give our all to the Lord. when we truthfully give it all to God and His son, our Salvation, we need to re-evaluate the level of intensity that the Lord needs our COMPLETE dependence in Him. Our strength is but god pinky toe weakest link, but His enabling our flesh to do His work. Suffering is doing the will of God, not our own will doing anything, but the Holy Spirit doing it all. thank you for breaking the soul so as to use the vessel to your will Lord.

    I've been studying church history. What is your take on the importance of this time period that use to be studied by followers during the last great persecution. I cite the period of the Inquisition were followers would have a copy of Foxe's book on Marytrys next to their BIble as a study guide ? Why has the modern church forsaken this time period as sort of a "virus" to stay away from. Didn't Jesus, the master say persecution is a key element to salvation ?

  • @luxlucent678
    @luxlucent678 Před 11 lety

    Could it be we've reached what the BIble tells us of in 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 7... a short period were the "church system" reaches a final point called "Great Apostacy". A point where all churches become corrupt and forsake the true faith as the "Great Teacher" Paul teaches in this text.

  • @christianredmond3263
    @christianredmond3263 Před 11 lety

    The fact that cancer is still here doesn't mean Jesus isn't beating it. He beats it every day in multiple lives.The lesson is truly ours to learn in the end, but Jesus is stronger than anything. He can beat cancer, but obviously there's more to it than you and I can see. Not that He's too weak, but that He knows what would happen Spiritually if He wiped out cancer for good. You missed the point of faith. Jesus>than anything
