Finding Faith in the Dark | Tim Dilena

[@Bay-BGhost]

I HOPE EVERYONE KNOWS HOW BLESSED WE OUR TO HAVE A CHURCH LIKE THIS. ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT GET TO PHYSICALLY GO.

[@timmacdonald8141]

I went to Tim’s old church- it was in the hood of Detroit- the loudest most crazy church anywhere- it was stunning and amazing! Just like this one- my friends told me about this crazy guy pastor- that was 35 years ago- 😂. One person who knows God- is him. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I would not believe any of it! We used to get his messages on cassette tapes- literally- I had four or five on me when I travelled- God somehow knows him or something like that- I know that He knows him- 😂. This is so cool to be able to hear from God and or Tim every day from home- and I’m homeless happy and free! Sometimes I come here to review or comment because truly Tim has been the real deal since the beginning of his ministry- it’s important to let people know- but anyways- I gotta goto work was here just to listen to that song again! I remember we would show up to Tim’s church about 47 minutes late- because they would sing forever- and we all worked on Tuesday nights- down to the absolute worst part of Detroit- the coolest thing a person could ever see is a poor pastor singing with a bunch of crazy whackos present- the Holy Ghost was so omnipresent in that place it was astounding- and there sat out preacher Tim totally singing every Tuesday evening! It was amazing to think someone would be like that- and then open Isaiah or some other old book of the Bible and preach upon it- and it hit so damn hard! Hence I suppose why we always went. God was always showing up! Anyways- sorry but it brings back memories- doesn’t seem anything has changed- God is always with Tim- it’s awesome! He is always with me too- but I don’t preach it as well- haha- have a beautiful day!

[@slaywithateia]

I love it!!

[@TheWorkmanDiaries]

Thanks for sharing that Tim! Nothing like the raw , fresh presence of God & praise God for His humble servants like Tim Dilena who preach the word with power & truly live the gospel. I used to listen to David Wilkerson when I was first a Christian & still have many of his cassettes. Would love to visit Times Square Church someday but am in the UK. God Bless you!

@@BibleBound333 to me? Tim always pronounced everything on Gods heart- up front-

[@timmacdonald8141]

@@BibleBound333 Tim is the only one that knows Jesus as well as me- Jesus sends me to Tim in the absolute ghetto- his church was best on Tuesday nights in the hood of the ghetto- my churches met with cupcakes and riches o wednesdays and sundays- it ain’t the same thing- Tim knew the Holy Spirit and God always went with me or met me there- it was amazng- this dude could melt your soul from second kings and pick the dumbest verse jn second kinds and you would end up crying out to Jesus from a Jews book! It was the most profound experience on earth! Same God- just a man who was faithful and true! Tim was tough and good- coulda had any girl or man in earth- making 29$ a week- it was crazy abnormal- he was so odd! But you couldn’t hear from a man who was more inline with God- Jesus- in Detroit or the world- Jesus les me to Tim when he was nothing- I mean- I felt bad for him that he let me meet Jesus every Tuesday evening- we were at his church cuz that was the place Jesus brought me to- I already knew Jesus- it’s kinda crazy when Jesus introduced me to Tim- that is how I met Tim- Jesus brought me to Tim- sounds Antichrist- I know- but when your best friend is Jesus- and He brings you to Tim - I promise- it is messed up ! 😂. This kid is out of this world amazing and faithful- from this message he looks like a mega church idiot- but til is the real thing- he didn’t kiss a girl til his wife- my ex wife doesn’t even like his wife- I couldn’t ever possibly believe Tim had a wife- he drove a nova pinto and never held a girls hand for the first ten years I knew him- I got 4 cassette tapes o this an travelled the world - Tim was so stupidly faithful- he doesn’t make any sense in this world- why would God telll him to stay in the hood do the ghetto? Didn’t make any sense what do ever! But it made sense to me and Jesus- he did exactly what God sent him to do! I’m lucky I was there laughing and celebrating the stupidest stuff I ever seen in a world man! I only seen one man as crazy as Tim- He is still one of the only people that knows God as closely as me- And I am practically the worst person on earth- forgiven and free- you won’t see Jesus and get to know Him unless you seen the humility in a man who knows the same Jesus! I’m so evil I don’t tithe- but I tihed 20% of Tim’s salary in 1991- cuz I was worth 400% of the net worth of everyone in Tim’s church in the porn theatre- lol- That used to hurt giving 20$- but I never ever gave 20$ to church- lol- it sounds sickening maybe/ but I promise you/ with that pinto and his church- 20$ from me on a Tuesday was not even half enough! Jesus was always there! Some black dude and what I call the chicken lady cuz the Spirit had her running around like a chicken and the dude who made the cassettes for Tim speaking in tongues of Jesus/- I never knew God like that- but I was there with God- I truly don’t know any other person this crazy! The Spirit of God and Jesus know their servants- Tim is a servant of the absolute King! His chicken lady and his cassette tape man and worship team- worked for free! Or something close to it- Jesus brought me there- to speak- in a language only He could speak/ love and knowledge and wonder- Tim knew God- it was obvious- cuz He did some whacked out stuff- Pastors from the rich land used to have him come and speak and generally speaking they would have to ask Him to ‘tone it down’. !

[@julieanderson4484]

I’m so thankful we can listen to Pastor Tim & worship w Times Square✨

[@sophiesmith5922]

yes, and also faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of God. We increase our faith by knowing God, we know God through prayer and reading the word of God. But faith WORKS through love to motivate us to the good works God has called us to.

[@augustbarone7189]

Wow! Thank you God. This man is on fire for God. Carter Conlin, David Wilkinson, and Tim Delena are all good fruit on a great tree.

What a great blessing to fine you, Pastor Dilena. I will keep in my prayers, remembering Rev. Wilkerson from the time I bowed both knees to repent, believe, and ask Jesus to come into my heart 50 years ago on New Year’s Day 1974. I am so thankful for my life in Christ… Through the bright times and the dark times He has been so gracious to shower me with his presence every single day. Your teaching and preaching inspires me to move forward in Jesus with his Joy!❤

Good sermon- it really bounced off of what RT Kendall said last Tuesday there- pretty amazing to know the same God! After you listen to the amazing God song four more times probably should go listen to rt Kendal at Times Square from last Tuesday! It goes well together in my stupid opinion- who am I though? Hahahaha😂. The choir and the guy singing was amazing! Thank you all! Made Sunday absolutely amazing! We almost could give Michael Phelps another medal for yesterdays sermon! Lol or his coach! Could he really get a wr without the coach man?

@@BibleBound333 I got that from the reading the Bible. John 16:33 Jesus said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." I do believe that Jesus is God. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

[@markworthington1830]

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. Galatians 3:26 There are hundreds of names for God in the Bible. Each teaches us a little something about who God is and how he acts. In some places God is called “Almighty.” Other places God is called “The beginning and end.” He even has some unique names that describe him as the “Root of David” or “launderer’s soap.” However, when Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he encouraged them to call God “Our Father.” That name “Father” has a special meaning. Whether we had a good earthly father or not, we know what fathers are supposed to do. Fathers love and care for their children. They want the best for them and strive to teach them all they need to know. You can’t expect these kinds of things from a stranger. When you need something, you can count on your father. This is what God wants for you. He is your heavenly Father who loves you so much that there is nothing he wouldn’t do for you. He cares for you so much that he promises to guide all the steps of your life. He wants the best for you so that you may spend all eternity with him. He strives to teach you all the things you need for this life and the next. How did you arrive at this most special relationship with God? It is only “in Christ Jesus.” It is because Christ Jesus was willing to give his very life for you on the cross and to defeat death for you by rising from the grave that you can now be called sons and daughters of God. He is your dear Father and in Christ you are his dear child. Through faith these gifts become yours. PRAYER: Heavenly Father, in Christ, you have called me to be your child. Through faith, help me to always look to you as my Father. Amen.

[@kadd4415]

wow. That message really hit me. I've been praying to the Lord that I am having a hard time seeing Him in the last while, But now I have the hope that maybe it's just my goggles filling up but for my good. Rom 8:28.

I thought faith worketh through love?

[@sophiesmith5922]

sorry...that reply above was for you. Yes, faith WORKS through love, comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of God. We must KNOW God first in order to have faith, and God's love is shed abroad in our hearts. Our faith WORKS through love, motivating us to obedience to God, and to good works that God has planned for us. KNOWING God builds our faith, we know Him more through prayer and the word.
