#ProphetKacouPhilippe #PKPCHANNELTV Today you are Christians, not because you walk according to the Bible, but because you walk according to Prophet Kacou Philippe. Find here the book of Prophet

[@jean-fredyossan2442]

#PKPCHANNELTV 27. Salvation is eternity and a child of God cannot put his Salvation in the hands of a rabbi, a pastor or an imam who will himself go and give an account to God, but in the hands of the living prophet of his time who is the mouthpiece of God on earth. If you are Jews, Christians or Muslims, know that all those rabbis, pastors and imams who lead you on the earth are volunteers, it is not a prophet who established them. They are wicked, hypocrites and sons of the devil, that is why they have enough courage to do what they are doing. They are liars. They preach their imaginations in temples, churches, mosques and synagogues but I, Kacou Philippe, it is in virtue of the vision of April 24, 1993 that I speak to you and every chosen one, no matter his religion, will say “Amen” and will come to that.

[@kacoumonpere585]

Prophet Kacou Philippe: 16. Some say: "Do not say, this is the voice of Matthew 25:6.", “I’m the only prophet on the earth”… But I will! They have no biblical foundation and cannot do it. When Gabriel comes, he says: "I am Gabriel, who stand before God, fear not ..." John the Baptist says: "This is he who has been spoken of through Isaiah ..." Matthew 3:1 to 3. I will do it again, you do not have any portion with us, keep quiet! And I will condemn you by naming you, even if you call that insults, judgments, or arrogance, that is what your fathers did to the Lord Jesus. Let’s read that: John 8:13-14: "... Thou bearest witness concerning Thyself ..." and Luke 11:45:" thou insultest us". You see? Demons do not die. Sons of the devil, sons of Belial! Leave them! I will not let myself be distracted. 17. They are wicked ones and the Bible says in Daniel 12 that they will not understand. While people make all their effort to progress, after the example of the brethren sitting here; some travel tens of kilometers every Sunday morning to be here. See the brothers and sisters of Port-Bouët… if there was no lagoon, several would walk to be here! [Ed: The congregation shouts "Amen!"] And instead of accepting that, they talk of collaboration. I prefer death to collaboration. They are obliged to humbly come here to have eternal Life; it is "Thus saith the Lord!" [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”] 18. Today, on the whole face of the earth, no one can be saved outside what I Prophet Kacou Philippe, I preach. I am the only prophet that the Lord Jesus-Christ has sent to mankind. Like in the time of Noah, I, Kacou Philippe, slave of Jesus Christ, I am the only one and no one can be saved outside what I preach. [Ed: The congregation says: “Amen!”]

@@Yrkr785 That’s not what will save Armenia. They desperately need to develop their economy and be able to produce wealth on demand. The same way that Israel and the US ensure our security. Have an economy that can build more ships than German U-boats can sink. In fact, a documentary I was watching the other day mentioned that part of why Armenia was able to survive so many attacks in ancient times was because they were expert wall builders that could build new walls faster than sieging enemies could bring them down. They were also on the trade routes $$$ back then that have since disappeared and need to be replaced by new income streams. Times have changed and the new walls they need to become experts at building might be advanced weaponry or cybersecurity (which they can also export to allies and make a huge industry out of like Israel has). Charity is great (not really, altruism is the misguided basis of communism. It’s incompatible with human nature and outright tyrannical when applied as the law, egoism is what’s sustainable and leads to freedom & prosperity, like America has had in our best times) but charity can never bring a nation, especially one with many strong enemies around them, into self sufficiency or prominence. You might notice all Armenia’s best times were when they were making $$$ & could afford to defend themselves. People act like free market economics are all about greed and frivolous materialism but it’s life and death. Hopefully I’ll be in a better position to help bring business to Armenia one day but the country can’t wait for benefactors to get started. $$$ was the difference between Armenia and Azerbaijan and while we hate to admit it, we must to change the situation. Armenians can do it, I’ve spent a lot of time in Glendale, CA where they really have done exactly what the rest of Armenia back home needs to do. They have created one of the nicest, if not the nicest enclave’s of Los Angeles with a strong family friendly community, getting to work and making cash! It’s the only tried and tested way out in my view and I bet (with any population but especially Armenians) if their government ditched all remnants of the soviet mindset and ended some of the corruption, if they embraced free market capitalism and just let the instinctively industrious Armenian people create and run their businesses with minimal taxation and intrusion, they would probably be in a way better spot than now. Down the road, when the GDP grows, those lower tax rates will end up being WAY larger tax revenues for all the stubborn statists out there that just need the government to take money out of peoples pockets and waste it. Most of the time the government is what’s blocking economic prosperity and I’m sure Armenia with its Soviet past is no different if you started looking into all the red tape, taxes, small business killing regulations and favoritism of oligarchs & their businesses. Let the little people thrive and get out of their way, that is the proven road to prosperity.

*WARNING:* Decently LONG COMMENT BELOW from an excerpt I wrote for my thesis back in my postgrad regarding the decline of the Byzantine Empire. The REALLY sad part is that _Basil II_ , like his father before him _Basil I, also was of -Armenian descent-. The issue is that Basil II had converted into _The Greek Orthodox Church_ though most think it’s for purely for political reasons). He also wanted to convert not just the Armenians living in the empire, but to turn Armenia into a Greek Orthodox nation once he could pry it away from the muslims & make it part of the Byzantine Empire. He wanted to abolish the *FIRST & Oldest national/state church in existence*: *The Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church* which was founded in *301 A.D.* ... The entire dynasty that _Basil I_ created (*The Macedonian dynasty*, was also known as the *_"Armenian Dynasty_* was due to the unprecedented amount of ethnic Armenian Emperors, royals & high ranking politicians, & generals involved in ruling & governing the empire). He also wanted to import Armenians from _Armenia_ (which was conquered by various muslim nations at that point), so he could take use the skills of the Armenian merchants, traders, gold/silversmiths & ANY skilled workers. The reason it was called the *_Macedonian Dynasty_* is because *Basil I* came from an _Armenian_ family who originated from Thrace which at that time was most definitely part of Greece, HOWEVER it also had one of the largest populations of Diaspora Armenians anywhere in the entire *Byzantine Empire*. *Basil I* encouraged Armenians to bring their skills to the empire so as to boost the empire's economy & to use their skills, much like *Shah Abbas of Persia* did in the 17th century in _Persia_. In return they were given land, low to no interest loans/grants & special protection(s) under the law. They were the only non-Greek Orthodox Christians able to build churches & practice the _Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Rite_ FREELY, to be free to read, write, teach & print manuscripts in _Armenian_ so long it didn't undermine the role of Greek & Latin as the first & official language of the *Byzantine Empire*. *During this period, the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest territorial expanse since the Muslim conquests, it became the wealthiest empire in the world (& the richest it had ever been in its own history).* *To top it off, the **_Macedonian dynasty_** began the **_Macedonian Renaissance_** which culminated in the greatest period in the history of the empire of Byzantine art, literature, science, innovation, architecture, literature, & the study of the humanities.* The dynasty's founder *Basil I*, being of Armenian descent (& of some minor greek extraction according to some scholars) wanted Armenians to be an integral part of the empire because he was an Armenian Apostolic Christian despite professing he was a Greek Orthodox Christian (for political reasons, he was even given the last rights on his death bed by an **_Armenian Orthodox bishop_. This is documented by St. Cyrill The Philosopher. Hence, the dynasty is also referred to by as the *_"Armenian Dynasty"_* by several world renown scholars, such as: _Prof. George Bournoutian of the University of Yerevan, The ancient Byzantine historian "Leo the Mathematician" (b790-d869), Prof. Georgios Monachos of the prestigious University of Athens, Professor Mack Chahinski of the University of St. Petersburg in Russia & Professor Emeritus Sir Proffesor Emeritus Zachary Chitwood of Oxford University in the UK_. According to the wide array of academics listed above who support these views, they are also joined by _Dr. Alfred Dalpino of the University of Perugia in Italy, Prof. Roger Mooreland of Cambridge UK & Sir Prof. Emeritus Douglas Neville of the University of Queensland in Australia_. Their learned opinion goes further than the statements above for they all suggest the term *"Macedonian Dynasty"* is _"something of a misnomer"_, *because most if not all of Basil I's ethnicity & the subsequent heritage of the rest of his descendants within the Macedonia Dynasty were of Armenian extraction* , (though some did marry foreign princesses & queens who were of Greek or Italian extraction). *As Armenians we should ALL be very proud of the accomplishments of the Macedonian AKA Armenian Dynasty of this AMAZING & empire that was essentially a Greco-Armenian empire & of the impacts that our small race of people had not just on the world's longest living western empire, but through it, on history in general! Excellent video BTW! Please do some more videos on Armenia & Greece!

Actually, the name "Anatolia" had existed far before the Turkish incursions into it became a reality. It was used by the Hellens to name the peninsula and remained in use through much of history. Even after It was conquered by the Turks, the name "Anatolia" was used interchangeably with "Turchia"(or It's numerous variants). So your argument is invalid.

Ani has many meanings, especially in Armenian, it means that of the most beautiful

[@VarsineBiaini]

Ani was not just a big Armenian city. Ani was a great city of the world in every way. At the best of times, the city occupied an honorable 2-3 place in the world after Constantinople in terms of population, technology, economy, etc. We, Armenians, must imagine for a moment that we have a city that is comparable to London or Tokyo today. I will give you an example so that we realize the greatness of Anya.Trdat, a famous architect from Ani, who built the great cathedral of Ani in the 10th century (many experts consider this cathedral to be the first building of European Gothic), and later built the dome of St. Sophia in Constantinople, owned technologies that simply did not exist in Europe. for example, the Florence Cathedral, Santa Maria Cathedral was built, but for 100 years they could not take it in their hands to build a dome, and Florence was the main economic city in Europe, and Florina only the great architect Filippo Brunoleschi managed to build a dome. He possessed the technologies that the architect Trdat from Ani had before him 400 years ago, and the proof of this is the dome of the cathedral in Ani and the dome of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (which he built after the collapse as a result of an earthquake and which continues to grow to this day). only by delving into all this, one can understand what a great world city our beautiful Ani was in everything.

I don't know why we have been able to survive other than the fact that we do our best to pass our little culture on to the next generation. Armenians arent a warlike society going around and conquering people, we prefer peace. We prefer getting along with outsiders without losing our own culture.

The city of ani is only 2hours away from Yerevan (armenian capital) but the borders are closed between armenia and turkey so for us to visit it we have to go to Istanbul and take another plane to kars and then drive 1hour to the border , this beautiful UNESCO heritage site is forgotten by the turkish government because it doesn't bring tourists like agia sophia and Ephesus it would have been so much better if it was under armenian control, people would visited along with all the amazing heritage sites in armenia, what a disgrace...

Ah yes, the Ani. Always wanted to visit it. And as an Armenian it's a must for me to visit it. Unfortunately, because of the situation right now it's impossible to do it. It's just couple kilometres from me which makes it even worse. Hope one day I will visit one of my favourite cities of Armenia. May God bless you all

You should have made it clear that Armenia has its own very ancient and apostolic (and pre-Byzantine) version of Christianity, complete with its own "Rome" (Etchmiadzin) and "Pope" (Katholikos) and its own unique practises and doctrines; not to be confused or conflated with the "Eastern Orthodox Church" of Greece, Russia, etc...

Don't worry, oil and gas is getting cheaper and cheaper, eventually Azerbaijan will starve because its idiot "President" didn't diversify its economy or build an infrastructure outside of Baku. It'll go back to how it was in 1992 and, with Turkey slowly losing favour with both the Russians, Americans and the EU, Armenia will steamroller them. Hayastan's time is coming, they just need to be patient and endure this difficult period 👍🏻

Want to hear something miraculous, last night I went to this church by accident on google. I know nothing about the history of this church I started to look closely at the top vacant window and a white angel appeared in the window with the wings and halos when I zoomed in I seen it when I zoomed out it was gone I took a picture of it.

[@peterlarsen6638]

Great video, I'm really liking the channel! Also, what's the music playing from about 1:50-2:50? It's not the music in the linked video. I heard it in a Swedish folk song called Herr Olof Och Havsfrun by Folk och Rackare at some point, but I'm curious about its origins.

[@coulibalysiaka6162]

1. This morning I want to talk about the subject: “the transfer of spirits”.Initially, it was by synods and ecumenical councils that the transfer of spirits started, then by the submission of the Church to the State through statutes and internal regulations,then by unions, federations and councils of churches, and now by the conventions and even by giving up the pulpit to one who does not believe point by point or who does not have the same spirit as you; even if he preached right. 2. The transfer of spirits also takes place during clothing exchanges or lending with someone who is not a Brother or a Sister. Also by allying oneself with some people as it can be seen in 2 Chronicles 20:35 to 37 and 2 Chronicles 18 and 2 Chronicles 19:1 to 3. Jehoshaphat must understand that God does not want us to make friends with an unbeliever or an idolater. You do not have the right to go to a vigil, convention or meeting of those Catholic, Protestant, evangelical churches, missions and ministries including the whole of the Branhamists, that is to say those who still follow the Message of William Branham even in all its purity. For the consequence, it is the transfer of spirits. You cannot sing or pray with someone before you have agreed upon the last point that differentiates you, because behind a Branhamist, Baptist or Foursquare, there are as many demons as behind a Catholic. Do you grasp that? Behind a Catholic, Protestant, evangelical or a Branhamist, there are as many demons as behind one who follows Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry or Voodoo. 3. Hundreds of demons can stand behind only one falsehood. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. And never pronounce yourselves on a dream of those people… Never gather together for the smallest prayer. If the situation surprised you, do not close your eyes or simply go out. The Bible says not to have communion with demons. 4. Do not get flattered by any word because you are not "brother" or "sisters" in the same Jesus-Christ. You do not have the right to call a Baptist or Adventist or Branhamist: "brother in Christ", and do not let them call you this way. They are our neighbours and we love them for the Bible said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself". We look on their prayers as incantations in the name of Jesus Christ. And we look on their churches as the altars of the gods of Egypt. And we must be strict towards them to avoid any transfer of spirits in our lives. 5. And when somebody comes to us from those churches, whether he is baptised in the Name of Jesus-Christ or in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, whether he is baptised by immersion or aspersion, he must purely and simply be re-baptised. 6. You must know that there are two tendencies on the earth: them and us. "And he that is not with us is against us, and he that gathers not with us scatters." Luke 11:23. Everything they are doing, it is witchcraft, leading souls into captivity for hell. The same way that we burn their bibles, treaties and others, it is in this way that God will cast them into the burning lake of fire. 7. We cannot call idolaters, enemies of God "brother or sister in Christ". We have neither the same God, nor the same Holy Spirit. A Catholic is not your brother in Christ. A Protestant is not your brother in Christ. An evangelical is not your brother in Christ. A Branhamist is not your brother in Christ. A member of those missions and ministries cannot be your brother in Christ. They are just your neighbours. 8. The God of Israel is different from the god of the Arabs around Israel. And our God is different from the god of the churches which are around us. And these Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, and all those that you see around us, they are Iraqis, Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Pakistanis and Arabs around us. Israel, it is the valley of the prophets and a son of God follows a living prophet because the prophet is the mouth of God on earth. The Bible is the book of the books of the prophets and a child of God cannot live outside of a living prophet. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. 9. Put these things into practice and I say that those spirits that you took from them in the past will be sent back to them. And in the Name of Jesus-Christ, it will be so! Have a mastery of this subject: "the transfer of spirits". Burn those false bibles and the devil will know that he has no portion with you. Let those men know that you are not in the same dimension. 10. For you who come from the evening Message, there are some Branhamists who laid hands upon one another during the washing of the feet. At midnight, this is no more possible because of the transfer of spirits. It is the same for churches, assemblies where people who pray by holding hands or laying hands upon one another. 11. Never place those so-called representations of Jesus-Christ in your house. Even the one by Hofmann. The Apostles and the disciples opposed that. Eusebius too, the one who chose the 27 books of the New Testament amongst 62, opposed the depiction of Jesus. It was at the Constantinople Council in year 692 that the depiction of Jesus was authorized. 12. If the Lord Jesus-Christ is God, then He can appear under several forms, and it is an abomination to try to represent the Lord Jesus. The two disciples on the way of Emmaus did not recognize Him. In John 20: 11-16, Mary Magdalene did not recognize Him. And the Bible says that the Lord Jesus Christ appeared several times, under different forms. So, how will you represent Him? By trying to represent the Lord Jesus Christ, God will make that it is Judas that you will represent and place in your house. 13. Separate from what is impure. You see? We have not yet spent three years together but if I returned after spending three months on a trip, will you not recognize me? Then, how is it that three days later, in broad daylight, Simon Peter, Thomas, John, James and the other disciples who were fishing, did not recognize the Lord Jesus? All the same! You see? And Mark 16 says… let’s read that: "And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country". Why? Because He is the Almighty God! And you, sons of the devil, you have ended up giving Him a representation. But I have the certainty that this so-called photograph of Jesus is closer to Judas Iscariote than to the Lord Jesus. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. 14. And I will end with this: Avoid saying, "God told me" because if it is not God, then you have called Satan your god. Thus, all those who are listening to you will receive that spirit. You can see right and clear revelations and nevertheless, it is of the devil. 15. And if somebody claims himself as a Christian and claims to have the Holy Spirit, if he rejects the midnight Cry, do not fear to tell him that he rather has a spirit of divination according to Ezekiel 33:1-9 and be pure of his blood on the day of the judgement. 16. And you know that it is more advantageous for you to preach the Message to your parents and acquaintances so that they may not seek to pray with you when you arrive at their homes… Go ahead of them! And be pure of their blood. Amen!
