I wish there wasn’t a need for this forum, honestly. Thank you @JimShady for your clarity on your posting. The site only seems to give you a minute to delete or edit something once you submit it.
I concur regarding the pastors leaving the sheep and protecting their own. Sad.
He was saying the same thing in his devotional on New Years Eve. He insulted people that moved out of New York as some sort of backslidden Christians. What a terrible thing to say! I know a few of my friends that left to different locations and it was a really tough decision for them and they really prayed and sought the Lord. 2020 and 2021 was really a transition year for a lot of people and to make people question their own leading of the Holy Spirit is…well…abusive.
Here is the quote:
But how many people living in New York serving the Lord, just when it got really hard and the spike came said I’m out of here. Adios, muchachos. I’m gone. Maybe they were led by God. Maybe they weren’t. Maybe they just couldn’t take it. But to move without the word of the Lord, the direction of the Holy Spirit.
“Maybe they just couldn’t take it.”
Wow. His sermons have become a weapon.
Furthermore, he went on to tell people to get off ‘online’ and social media by way of his video…on social media!!!
