We're at the front steps of 2024, and that message still rings out loud and clear.

Thankful these are posted. Great for when you miss a service. Really good teaching Bro Joe!

I wish I didn't live in Connecticut, so I could be a local and join you! I've never ever ever seen such a pastor or minister (I'm not sure the terms because i'm ex-catholic) who KNOWS the occult and eastern religions. I've caught Louis off on a few things, but not much at all. This is so relevant to me, lost at 26 years of age for about 5 years now in the occult world.. lost my catalyst to faith. It takes folks like you who must be compelled by Christ to touch my life tonight at 2 AM as I watch this. God bless you, and may your ministry grow and spread the Word. Spread it because It is is being trampled over. I'm going to divulge that I've used psychedelic drugs, and I do believe some were put here by God so that we may peer into the inner workings of this universe. No vision or feeling trumped the one experience I can still recall firmly... I was in a place of darkness and light at once. I realized light couldn't exist without darkness. But then it came to me clear as day... the darkness was a SLAVE to the LIGHT. The LIGHT had absolute power OVER the darkness, absolute "legal" authority if you will. So new-agers, don't let any philosophy tell you that greater = lesser, because it doesn't. That's illogical and a mind trap. I hope my personal revelation means something, and I don't share it often if at all. God bless!

I'm the 4th viewer? Shame. I'll have to get through this lecture series. I'm someone who is in his later half of his 20's now and in my earlier 20's I got into the occult. That is , Aleister Crowley's Thelema and what comes with that: Hermeticism, Hermetic Qabalah, Jewish Kabbalah, Judaism itself (I'll spare that being called occult, though), Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism (Tao Te Ching is a BEAUTIFUL book, and one can be a Christian and Taoist), but there are somethings which just don't fit in the Christian paradigm at all, correct. I just started this lecture but thought I'd throw my experience out there thus far. I've practiced 'white magick', tarot card reading, still like Indian astrology, etc.. but something lately has drawn me to Christ. You know the problem with me and Christ? It's too simple. The intellectual part of me loves the occult because it's a labyrinth. But , when I just ask Jesus to settle down those demons inside me which so love to have me hyperintellectualize, I've discovered I'll be darned.. it works. Heck 'it' doesn't work, Jesus works. Jesus can save me, and I pray that eventually I be unbound by the occult and burn/bury my occult tools and suspicions. Wanting to want it.. that's a start. I've found that same sentiment being the beginning of getting sober for myself, so let it be. Thanks, Pastor. Thank you, Church. By the way I grew up in to the Roman Church.. well haha.. I can certainly be a practicing occultist and keep up with Roman Church (they just wouldn't admit it at the lower level, but who knows how many Cardinals are practicing astrology... what's up with their telescope system?) Lol.. God bless! -Chris
