- Murphy, the pastor at dReam Center Church of Atlanta, said the church needs to stop speaking foreign language when trying to communicate the message of the gospel.
Be not comformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
I was thinking that verse but the thing is times are changing and so is culture. So we have to see beyond what we see. God reaches out to different people in different ways
@@jamesperry2158Amen brother!
@@GeraesWorld While culture changes, Malachi 3:6 states, For I am the Lord, I change not; and Hebrews 13:8 states, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
@@GeraesWorldthe world changes but the word remains the same
In other words, no change! We get it.
We are truly living in the last days. Lord, help us to stand
Amen, this is clear proof!
There are many methods that can be used to reach souls..but can anyone explain how can a demon cast out a DEMON?
Jesus never once compromised with sin, and He told the devil to be gone (Matthew. 4:10). He didn't negotiate with the enemy; He conquered the enemy so we could be free to do the same. So don't hesitate to put your foot down when it comes to right and wrong, truth and lies, sin and righteousness.
He can’t! But according to this demon being interviewed he can.
My heart breaks 😢 my 20yr old and 25yr old black sons would walk completely out of that church. They are taken back by what has been displayed as "Church"
It takes the PURE WORD OF GOD to change someone's life. You don't have to draw the youth God doesn't need our help. He said that if we draw nigh to him he will draw nigh to us! Their experiences in life will draw them to him.
This behavior is blaspheming the holy spirit.😢
Praise God for your sons. We need millions more Spirit-filled Black youth standing up for the TRUE Word of God. 🙌🏾 This man is the worst kind of wolf in sheep's clothing.
Amen!!!
Yea I agree and he's still in the world.
You’re right when Christian Rap came out my kids that were like 12 14 back than and are now 34 & 32 now wanted nothing to do with it I applaud them they know the difference and their life choices and walk in life has lex them to have their own Relationship with Christ I gave them the Truth and led that life I wasn’t perfect and neither are they. We don’t need Tricks and Traps
He wants to be Man pleaser. ( friends with the world!
Ezekiel 22:26
Amplified Bible
26 Her priests have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy (sacred) and the profane (secular), they have not taught [people] the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they hide their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
He has absolutely no conviction. Now I see why Jesus said judgment shall start at the house of God.
AMEN!!
But yet he keeps saying, “my conviction “. 🤦🏽♀️
Amen! And it has! This clown doesn't even need to be exposed, bc he's out loud with his foolishness; for whats in front of us anyway.
EVIL ,EVIL , EVIL !!!!!! WHAT CHURCH !! A DARK ROOM WITH A FLASHING WHITE LIGHT !!! IS NOT A CHURCH !!
Correct.
Much, much prayer for our churches, this man was so anointed at one time. I ask God to draw him by His Spirit in Jesus Name, there is such a great falling away in this hour! 💔😢😢😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Can I offer free counseling to this minister he needs much help.
Best comment here!
The devil doesn't get any likes here.@@mygodreigns9964
Please help him! He is leading souls to hell. Why does he have to use the world songs? He’s talking about we taking it back! Sir we don’t want it. No thanks.
All I heard him say is that he’s watering down Christianity….let’s pray for him
Wow... this is the most devilishly clever EXCUSE I have ever heard for allowing a worldly, ungodly song into the church. This, friends, is what a wolf in sheep's clothing looks like.
Yes, absolutely demonic!!!
TERRIBLE exegesis of scripture! Comparing a hearing of a literal language to a metaphorical language through a demonic song! Just awful.
Amen
DEPART YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY I NEVER KNEW YOUUUUUU!! GOD HAS A HOLY STANDARD.!!!!!!
Please please do not allow Satan to deceive you onlookers who somehow think this is OK! 😭
Romans 12:1-2 KJVS
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your BODIES a LIVING sacrifice, HOLY, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Truly. Amen!!
This guy is insane, if he does not repent he will burn in hell, there was no Holy Spirit there, 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
Amen
Yes, you are so right. He's assuming that people flooded into his church because the Holy Spirit was there... They came because the spirit of the WORLD was there.
@@kwpp7 Amen!
Amen
And that ladies and gentlemen is why it is not a church that is part of the body of Christ, because Jesus never said, become like the world to win the world. “ If I be lifted up, I’ll draw all men “ It’s time for us to wake up and pray for discernment .
Tight Discernment we don't have
We must get it back.🙏🏾🙏🏾
I pray for this brother. He is so lost. God have mercy on our souls. I didnt feel no presence of God. Nothing but flesh pleasing dancing
Think about ALL the souls he will give account for! He has no fear of God nor love for the Lord. Another hireling! $$$
The Bible speaks about people who will think their wrongs are right. It's as if he's been turned over to a depraved mind. When he said "we're taking back 'walk it out'" as if it was once a gospel song....I was like🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳
What your conviction and what God’s word says has to line/match up. I understand you are trying to relate to the world, but the Church can’t become “worldly”.
Stop all this “wealth, worldly, feel good, do whatever you feel” teaching. Stick to the word of God, don’t add-take away from the word. No the children are going crazy because “men” whom God made the “head” of the household is absent for various reasons. I’m not a perfect Christian but neither am I a Bishop. Many are called but few are chosen. Consider the cost, to whom much is given much is required. Just my personal opinion.
Read 2 Timothy 2:19........?don't trip, God KNOWS 🙏
Amen!!!❤️ Truth!
The real problem is he doesn’t see anything wrong with what he did. How did he become a pastor? He shouldn’t be handling the word of God, he should be in the club. Listen to his words…
Self made bishop
Read 2TIMOTHY 2:19.
What a demonic entrance into the New Year.
Here we go again. Let's blend the church with the world. What's funny is he actually believes he heard the word of God because nothing of what he has done is confirmed in the Word of God.
It is so sad 😢 He thinks he is a preacher
Its DISGUSTING. God will deal with him.
Totally agree! In the Bible it's called a "reprobate mind" (Romans 1:27) and it's becoming the norm for those desperate to establish and/or maintain a "mega church". They will compromise the Bible for membership increase (aka soul winning).
WHY DO Y'ALL SEEM SO SURPRISED? He is doing what "CHURCH PEOPLE" have ALWAYS done, "HAVE IT THEIR OWN WAY", like God is Burger King or something. PUTTING UP CHRISTMAS TREES is something God told his people was a custom of the HEATHEN that he did not want them to learn. (Jeremiah 10:1-4) Sunday worship, instead of Sabbath is not in the Bible. The FOURTH COMMANDMENT says, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY." The Sabbath is Saturday, the seventh day. In 324 AD Father Eusebius Changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday the way it remains to this day. Who gave him that right? There has been so much "UTTER NONSENSE" taught in these "CHURCHES". This is just the LOGICAL progression of the way things have been going for a long time. Hiding EASTER EGGS, SANTA CLAUS, Valentines Day (with the FALSE GOD-CUPID) ... ALL UTTER NONSENSE!!! I think the most recent one is "HALELUJAH NIGHT" instead of HALLOWEEN. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!
@@christopherbarge414 NO NOT SURPRISE BECAUSE GOD SAID MANY FALSE PROPHET WILL COME AND WILL DECEIVE MANY. THERE MORE FALSE PREACHER S AND THE PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW THEM. BUT GOD IS STILL THE SAME IT STILL GOOD T GO TO CHURCH.
We are truly in the end times!! There’s no conviction so there’s no repentance! The leaders of my people have cause them to err…Isaiah 9:16 ! It’s so sad!!
You can't justify this. He is not prophetic. This is manipulation through and through. The greatest change occurs when servants of God learn how to keep the focus on God and not on themselves. Pastor Murphy and many of his cohorts would greatly benefit from attending a retreat exclusively for clergy where they can receive counseling and take the time to reflect. It's a safe space reserved for pastors.
To God be the Glory!
When did he say he was dressing up like a”REAL Preacher” ????🤔
So I’m assuming he’s NOT a REAL Preacher???? Make this make sense PLEASE???
He said a real Bishop
Right
Put a difference between Holy and Unholy
Just because the room is packed, it does not mean God is in it. The BEST thing that has happened to me is that I NEVER set foot in this place. My heart truly hurts and I am in SHOCK!!! God NEVER GAVE US A CAUSE FOR CULTURE but for CHRIST and the Cause for the KINGDOM of GOD!!! William Murphy, YOU have COMPROMISED the WORD of GOD and my heart is HEAVY... YOU will stand BEFORE GOD and GIVE ACCOUNT for YOUR ACTIONS. To get Closer to GOD has NOTHING to do with COMPROMISE. YOU need to get on YOUR KNEES in the PRESENCE of GOD, and Stay there until you hear from HIM. How can you speak against thr antiChrisy, when you are DOING his will.
God doesn't need gimmicks! God is omnipresent that doesn't mean He is pleased!
Nothing can be full of the Holy Ghost and still Swag & Surf and Walk it out. Darkness cannot contain the Holy Spirit. People can only be delivered and brought out of darkness by the Holy Spirit. To be singing “ I’m on hypnotic, a bad girl beside me, her friend behind me…”Does not correlate with scripture and the word. Furthermore, if a person is on hypnotic with a bad girl, besides them and her friend behind you, you all are not in the presence of the Holy Spirit, but you are in the covering of a different spirit. There are only two sides- Right and Wrong. God and Satan. Therefore, this was bringing a different mindset that was influenced by another spirit, which is not of God.
Obviously, that person can be delivered and set free, but being Lukewarm won't do. The whole point of being a pastor or christian is to separate from worldly things, and that ain't it! Rather than a place regarded by some as holy, this throw-down should have occurred in a different setting. It is not acceptable to do certain things.
According to Ezekiel 33:11, "I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather their change of hearts and life." Spread the word: "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of those who do evil. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!
Darkness and light cannot coexist. Good conquers evil. And, according to Mark 1:21- 28, when it comes in, they go out.
I can go on and on, but point made
Well stated. Thank you for your position and in standing on it and proclaiming it.
I say amen and amen!👍
Bless you!🙌🙏
Maranatha🙌🙌
Numbers don't mean that people are saved. Jesus preached and the bible says many walked away.
Amen
This us a SPIRIT OF CONFUSION!!!! I dont want to go to Church to Party, or to fit in...........i need to come into Fellowship, be on one accord with the Saints of God, to receive instruction, correction, n guidance, through the Shepherd, via the Holy Ghost. I go to Magnify the Lord and to Exalt His name, so i can be prepared to go into the World n Preach the Gospel 😑
Are you going to “redeem” the strip club next because before I got right with God that’s where I heard all of these songs? This is entertainment not church. Just because you offer a watered down version that attracts people who left the church and it’s standards before doesn’t make it right. This is not a criticism of those people because at one point left too. This is a criticism of the wolf in sheep’s clothing who looks to be doing quite well for himself when there are homeless and hungry and incarcerated in his community during the advent season.
😂 man the Bible said it I'm watching it all unfold! Stay prayed up!
We have now seen how the Bible can be used to benefit our own agenda. This is why God is tired of the four walls. Pastors are more concerned about filling the church seats than honoring God above all.
“Abstain from all appearance of evil
Bishop Murphy goes on here to talk about the "liberty and the freedom" that was in the room at that moment. He seems to be implying that that "liberty" led to what we saw in that 30-second clip.
It is possible to take "liberty" -- too far, just ask the Children of Israel, who also got caught up in their moment. They took their moment so far that they ended up BUILDING a GOLDEN CALF, as a result! (Exodus 32:1-8) So, the Bible admonishes us to LEARN from our history, experiences, and past behaviors (Romans 15:4).
And finally, here's what the Bible says about HOW we are to use and apply our "liberties":
“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13).
Is he saving souls or sacrificing and sabotaging them. Is he preparing a flock or patronizing them🤔. Test your teachers - test your teachers against the word and the will and see what you come up with👀
We cannot mix dark w light… Jesus redeems we are responsible for showing up sanctified and God will change who and what’s around us. Amen
Wow! You can't be a people pleaser. You make so many statements on how many people were there. When you please people, you go wrong. May God have mercy on you, Rev. William. You will be held at a higher responsibility for leading the people in the wrong direction.😢🙏
Romans 12:2
King James Version
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
He wrong God is Holy my house shall be call the house of prayer
Oh! Oh! Don’t even know what this man is referring too, but I know he Lying!! The devil!! The lord sir has Nada to do with this confusion.. forgive this man!
How do you take something back from the devil that he made???😂😂😂😂
I said the same thing. That never belonged to the church to begin with.
Facts
2 Corinthians 10
12Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!
15Nor do we boast and claim credit for the work someone else has done. Instead, we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work among you will be extended. 16Then we will be able to go and preach the Good News in other places far beyond you, where no one else is working. Then there will be no question of our boasting about work done in someone else’s territory. 17As the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD.”
Go. Not post up collecting wealth, pride and delicacies. A terrible shaking is about to come! May it cause true repentance and right living!! Yahuah will not be mocked!
Wow! They turned the alter/pulpit into a stage and turned the sanctuary into a club.
If you're gonna cross over to reach souls, make sure that you carry the cross over!
He's not a real Bishop and he is delusional. He's confusing young ppl. Holiness is still right.
He said the numbers don't lie but forgot that "hell hath enlarged herself".
RIGHT!!!😂😢
I see why the scriptures says put a DIFFERENCE, this is exactly why. False prophets everywhere!!!! Ask him what is the pause for, he is lost...
He know that those people not going to get 3 houses like he
prohalied SO THATS WHY HE KEEP SAYING YOU GOT TO WORK THE PROPHECY
so when they don't get not even one house he's going to tell them
THAT THEY DIDNT WORK OUT THE PROPHECY.
He is such a fraud. He is not helping anybody get to heaven.
This is what you call, gummy bear christianity!
Walk with me Lord, walk with me. I want Jesus to walk with me.
Holiness is still right😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Let’s get back to the fear of the LORD… stop blaming us.. I soul win on my job😢
False prophets preach false doctrine
They want a place where they can SIN and not be held accountable while walking it out!😢
This is so sad, that he actually believes that what he did was ok. Lord help the him. There are so many gospel songs he could have chosen with lyrics about walking. He mentioned he had a dj. Why do you need a dj for a church service 🤦🏽♀️
I had the upmost respect until now😢
@@carolelmore9886 me too. He should have just humbled himself and apologized to the church at large. You can explain what you were trying to accomplish, but don’t defend your wrong action. I think people would have given him more grace, if he had done that. But I guess ego got in the way. Let’s continue to pray for him🙏🏽

Never knew William Murphy was so absolutely FULL of HIMSELF...."I'll be dressed up this Sunday; I'll look like a real bishop". That's the problem, he wants to look like one on the outer appearance by way of clothing but his mind and heart hasn't been transformed to the ways of God....to the standards of HOLINESS!!! That's a problem. I'll NEVER view he or his music the same.
A young lady shared that 150 people JOINED THE CHURCH THEY DIDNT GET SAVED!
I RESPECT this host.I believe you gave a honest respectful interview. THANK YOU.
Wow, does this pastor think the body of Christ are idiots to fall for his justifying of that unholy worldly mess? We have spiritual discernment and God alerts us in the inner man when things grieve Him. Ichabod!!
Only in the black church do you find such foolishness
The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom. You cannot REDEEM anyone William Murphy. You transgress, violate the Word. It's Christ and ONLY Christ who redeems.
The Bible declares, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." John 12:32
Jesus NEVER compromised biblical principles and wordly practices to win souls. Why would any church want to redeem anything that Satan established. Isn't the devout word of God enough? How is Jesus being lifted up during these secular parties in a "sacred place"? This is delusional and sacrilious.
Amen, Amen!!
Many are called but few are chosen.
You can not walk with God holding hands with the devil !!! Praying for you because you're full of something alright !!!
We can’t look like the world! Loving the world is enmity to God. James 4:4-8
Secular music in the church is a disrespect towards God. Lord pleeease have mercy on everyone that was assembled there 🙏🏾
God's word says this:
Ephesians 5:15-19 KJVS
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, [16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. [17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. [18] And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; [19] Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
This man doesn’t know the difference between the spirit of Lucifer and God.
After 18 years it seems that he doesn't understand that Our God "is Holy".
No fear of the Lord anymore it’s his mission statement, his idealogy, where is Christ in all this. He sees success in a church full of people.
This is awful.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
Matthew 7:15
Sheep’s clothing is in reference to the clothing shepherds wore, which identified them as shepherds. This man is a false prophet clothing himself in pastor’s clothing. We are not called to redeem everything. Only Jesus redeems. We are called to be IN the world, not OF the world.
“For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ (anointed),’ and they will lead many astray.”
Matthew 24:5
This guy is completely off track and have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrine of devils
Deep deep pockets in the name of Jesus
So, when I walk in a secular concert I shouldn’t be surprised when they start to worship JESUS
Ok! The only person I know that brings Jesus 😮into their concert is Fantasia & that's at the end. But at least she lets you know that's why she can do what she does.
Woe unto the pastors that lead the people astray Jeremiah 23: 1-4
Christ is the only Redeemer!
Poor Soul, only God can change him.
Trying to be like the world, catering to the world.
Wide is the way that leadeth to destruction. Let God be true and every man a liar. Be ye holy for I am holy.
He will say when he stand before God "didn't 150 people join people in your name" and God will say to him get away from me you worker of iniquity I never knew you. Those people joined the church because it was a bigger night club. God declares get out from among them. Pastor you need much prayer and you are leaving these folk straight to hell. REPENT!!!!!
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds!
Its easy to draw folk, not the righteous. End of the conversations
William Murphy reminds me of a big-time pastor in tulsa named michael todd.
He too is a young, keep it real pastor.
It don't look like God, it don't song like God, it ent God period!
God doesn't need our help. We don't have to compromise our salvation to reach anyone.
What's in you will come out of you.
Jude 1:4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be not deceived, God is not mocked!
SIR
YOU ARE NOT APART OF THE CHURCH
BYYYYYYYYEEEEE!!
My church is 71 years old and we would not be caught swagging like this. The people you brought into your ministry, are they following you or are they following Christ, because this isn't it!
Redeeming what is HIS He doesn’t need Gimmicks. Deliver the Word Bishop THAT IS WHAT SETS THEM FREE… Reclaiming Swagg Culture Um like what does that means!!! LOVE NOT THE WORLD NEITHER THE THINGS IN THEM… Bishop Murphy to be honest LEADERSHIP are the most professional BEGGARS the Lame man in the Bible didn’t know any better time and my service to the Lord has nothing to Do with Church folks and Leadership I myself has use Wordly Songs to make a point I pray those 150 souls aren’t expecting to party like that or get the illusion all they gotta do is walk it out listen to the Bishop!! This is how ppl get led astray and get hurt in the church .
Lord, forgive him, fir he knows not what he is doing or saying!
Sad thing is - he DOES know what he is saying and doing !
Do not be confirm to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2. The problem with the church today is that we are trying to do the work of the Holy Spirit rather than allowing God to work supernaturally. We may live in this world but we were admonished not to be like the world.We were told to be like Christ.Its sad .
The devil is using his counterfeit power to destroy peopleWilliam Murphy, I hear you❤
Oh No not comparing Peter at Pentecost! Oh there was a spirit there alright but not the Holy One.
Reclaim Souls, not culture.
So you pretty much telling people that they can walk with God and the devil too Wheeew. Will not be going to this church
We can win souls without bringing the club into the household of faith. You can’t justify you misleading your sheep and others who are trying to come to Christ. That was ungodly.
Just Lift HIM Up!
John 12:32 - And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Not that place,, might as well go to the club,,, play for the pastor that God take control,,, so sad is😢
Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up” (1 Cor. 14:5). Learn your WORD!!!
God imitates, no one He is the Alpha and the Omega. The first and shall be the last. He is enough!
Hell is waiting, None of what he saying is in the word of God, Darkness and light don't mix,
