PST. TONY EVANS IS NOT ALONE. THE LIST IS LONG

#tonyevans #tonyevanssermon #rodparsley
On this video we highlight other pastors who had to step down due to past indiscretion. The goal is not to condemn but to learn for the benefit of the body of Christ.

Many in the church have lost their fear of the Lord, pastors included. The fear of the Lord" is more than just fear, such as awe, reverence, adoration, honor, worship, confidence, thankfulness, and love towards God

It was in 1982 so do your sin’s continually follow you for 20 plus years. It’s not dismissive but there’s a point to where I’m sorry let’s move on should be good enough.

[@2013fordmustanggt]

No mistakes when Jesus addresses the churches in Revelation.

[@GwendolynCoggs]

Well, it’s actually called transgressions. It’s in your Bible see once Jesus died on the cross and we accepted him as our savior send is now eradicated in our lives. Check out Bishop Clarence McClendon on that one and I concur because guess what once I knew that it was gone transgression to me as a weightier matter now.. if you Holy Spirit feel you wanna play it the Lord therefore you don’t wanna do anything to break his heart. I asked the question how many of the prayer warriors were not in position to cover this before it ever happened? It is my understanding that prayer is the shield, the faith of the congregation we are all in this thing together are we not. The difference in it really when you think about it there’s only one different we dare to say yes to God and preach the word, knowing that division and the viciousness of the people of God will break your heart with their over expectations. I’m still chewing on like a cow chewing it on the concept of boundaries when unification and interdependence was how the first century church function it wasn’t an option. It was life or death for them. We’re so cute now the only problem for it is that we have no substance.. I remember my mother being very concerned when fast food wave hit. She said y’all need something. It’s gonna stick to your ribs. Money was lean and whatever she had to put into that meal needed to stay with us till the next time she could figure it out pray it out fast it out till it was back on the table again . Time to go back to the old landmark this is the wonderful thing about the prophetic word in the last days. I’ll pour my spirit on all flesh. Here’s the thing I’m gonna put it on us because we have the responsibility to pray for our pastors, I just had an extensive Viewing with Pastor JP Foster of the faithful Central Bible Church place where champions are built I started out with the old man who I like that. I didn’t really laughing OK, but I’m here to tell you guys these things are not happening because of the pastors they’re happening because of the pastors now watch this, the armor of God they could have everything in the front but guess what they only provision for the back is us!! What happens when we fail and become the local Internet gossip columnist you guys call a influencers now Ron Barrett just went straight up. I am gossiping about y’all. Maybe that’s the truth. We gotta start with. I’m trying to understand the Bible said to do it hypocrite maybe even sit here, but I pray every time That I’ll be able to get through somebody in the Bible tell me that heaven rejoices over just one. And if I can keep out of hell, I’ve done a good thing today. My grandmama said every dog have a good day and every good dog got to so listen young lady and young man. Black mamba, mama I am saying to you right now. Read every scripture on what the consequences are for clown and somebody that God has his hand on. I was thinking about when it was the anointing on David and he cut the tassels of Saul robes. He said he could’ve killed him, I wonder how many commentator assassins are here? I mean it’s a prophetic flow I’m saying children I got a stand before God one day. I have to give an account for my life. I have to tell him why I know better and never said something to anyone that will read this. You are playing a dangerous game at an even more dangerous time. The holy spirit is exploding in the globe where you begin to see the kind of miracles and the kind of weather patterns things that nobody can control. It’s called God Flexin pay attention children. It’s serious. I can remember when my dad and them would say they got short graves and long graves out there. It was somebody’s telling me that there is a season of 14-year-olds being murdered, 13-year-old being raped by a 30 year old, 11-year-old being raped in the church. And the church is falling out over who got what on what Sunday I’ve had a flash of somebody saying something because we’ve been praying for first ladies there has been something unleashed against first ladies the bill wrong on it, watching the episode of the shy and the depiction of the first lady of the church , sexually inappropriate the pastorand wife. I asked the question at the viewing of the episode. The second time it was the first time the question was there. I re-aired it to make sure that I understood the question., Have the writers of the show seen or have happened that they could depict the church and God‘s people especially with this insanity of Papa..? And what kind of disrespectful audacity is it for us not to be so outraged at ourselves that we can see this And something major has not exploded since that episode aired now almost 2 weeks ago. I remember the commentator in something I don’t know if it was the show or a clip or whatever it was that a interviewer asked Bishop Jones and was saying people come to church to see the first lady. I remember turning around and asking couple people do they really ? I’ve been in church all my life and the last time I checked, I go to church to come and see the folk, and let’s go see Jesus together to fellowship one with another the king of Lord of the Lord for more of his instruction that I can get to become more like him And then I can treat my brother and sister the way you said you love us let me make sure I got that right I think it’s in your Bible love one another as I have loved you so I’ve been hanging out at olives with Matthew for a while, the olives get crushed, hope they’re on that mountain. See, you start to get to cease some things? And cease some things. It’s grow up time children and the thing about it is what I love about it is he could take you up as high as you are humble to go. Are you willing Paul say I’ve been abound and I’ve been abase? Humility is key too.

[@Tigerex966]

A mistake implies an accident. Like it was not a free will decision, and you did not know what you were doing was wrong it was a mistake. Sin imues you knew it was wrong against God and did it any way. Something we all have done. Since there is a higher standard for pastors than most, there is more that has to be done before they can.bebrestired after all they are to be an example and practice what they preach, the problem is very few preachers, including Evans preach about sin, death, hell, temptation, repenting, overcoming strongholds etc. and rather speak about social justice racism black white victim oppressor what color was bible heros, and positive motivation feel good upbeat messages. Which are still good but inlymti a point. Congregations need to put in the whole armour of God not just feel good positive and social political messages Victim hood wokeness and all this about race and color worshiping their color with unforgiveness and blame and envy hatred toward others that are a different colorm Like losing your salvation implies you misplaced it involuntarily like keys or phone and are looking for it. Instead of falling away from the faith, committing apostasy Some terms imply certain incorrect things

This is where the age old confusion lies I think. These men are wolves. Seems to me people are just blaming the devil made them do it. When it’s their narcissistic corrupt hearts and behavior. Dual lives of avoiding transparency and repentance that demands reparations. Restoration is never going to happen. Jesus warned with great indignation about the Pharisees there would be no salvation for them. Their father was the devil. They were a brood of vipers. These men are predators and tares. Their egos and corrupt hearts and minds have been able to go under cover for years while the victims are usually seen as the predators themselves trying to take down a minister and ministry. When you cross a line it’s almost impossible to come back. Depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you. Talent and charisma is often mistaken for anointing and calling. Ok enuf for now. Lord open our eyes to see and discern and to judge rightly as you require us to test and judge rightly. God is exposing the wolves in great numbers in this season. You do not restore a wolf. This is where the confusion lies. Leaders MUST be above approach. If not they must step down from any position of influence and usually for life. The damage done to the sheep. The little ones is exponential because it has a rippling effect. Lastly we must never place our loyalties in a person or personality. It’s just a matter of time they will fail or fall and we will be scandalized.

Just because people fall short of God's word doesn't make them false. Now, some preachers are false but not all. Father God help us to discern those that are false and those that are real so we can pray according to God's word. Amen

I agree with you. We all are sinners and can fall. God is the only one who can restore us .

[@HannahYaawusuahAdjepongL-AS]

Tasting the love and presence of God in your life is the most awesome experience any of us can have. Once we start taking it for granted, sadly, we become like Samson. We do not realise when The Lord removes His presence from us. No gratification on earth can ever replace the presence of the Lord. The one thing the enemy loves most is to see us stripped of God's protection over our lives. Those who know that they have turned the wrong way should turn to the Lord. Remember Samson turned again to the Lord to fulfil God's calling on life. But that was after shame, humiliation, and scorn. What has changed? Father, please help us to learn from the mistakes of others. Keep us close to you. Help us to know and appreciate the danger signs. Hold us close to you. In Jesus name. Amen.

You Are Not allowed to teach or preach if you are living in sin

[@need4HIM]

This is a time of restoration, repentance and renewal for everyone. The errors may not necessarily be sex related. There are other reasons. MANY have aligned with the wrong people and probably are now just realizing their error. THIS IS THE TIME FOR EVERYONE TO GET IN LINE. God in MERCY is sending correction. This is a good thing. God want His people to be prepared to minister to a world in need of Him. We have to be pure otherwise we will not qualify to participate in the endtime harvest. Pray for the pastors. The devil is going after leadership first in order to scatter the sheep.

Judgment is starting at the house of God. Cleaning up the mess can only lead to blessings. There is a desperate world in great need of TRUTH. What they are offered is mixed fire 🔥 and that leads to more failure. Yes leaders have greater responsibility to live Godly lives. They will face the consequences of their own actions more than others who they lead astray.

[@user-cz1ot2wh4w]

They don't lead anyone astray. Many of them have brought people to God. They have fallen but can be restored if true repentance takes place. God is a God of justice, grace and restoration. Leave it all to God we put our trust in God not man. That's all our problem we worship these men and that's why we feel betrayed it should not be so. We all fall short of His glory let's pray for them instead of judging them.

Scripture please. YEHOVAH/Father God was married to the House of Israel and He did divorce them. See Jeremiah 3: 8 and Isaiah 50:1 It is these 10 tribes and only these ten tribes that Jesus was sent for. See Matthew 15:24 Yehovah is no longer married to these tribes, but they and they alone are the bride of Christ.

[@Encourager-Purpose-Destiny]

My suggestion to all Christians: Ask God to show you yourself and your heart. Allow God to work on you. Take your feelings, thoughts, words, and actions to God in prayer. Sift and process them through the Word of God. Let God Have The Final Say! Pray Focus: God, I ask You in Jesus' name to show me myself. God I give You permission to work on me. Sift me through Your Word, change me, prefect me, and conform me into the image of Your son, Jesus Christ. God do the same for the writer of this prayer, all my family, and friends. Bless us with the love, desire, and strength to respect and honor You in our thoughts, words, and actions. Thank You Jesus. Amen, so be it by faith. ❤1 Peter 4:17: For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

Most of these comments remind me of the debate about abortion: the victims are being ignored. What about restoration for them?

[@karenlynnhurt6408]

I was married to an extremely abusive pastor 30 years even raped with a battery charger but the church said I needed to be more submitful. After numerous affairs he left me penniless for a wealthy woman to advance his missions ministry Still the church organization A/G did nothing to compensate all the abuse sexual emotional verbal physical ( beat til I could not walk for days) and mental abuse. It is very sad how men who are allowed to be pastor's can abuse manipulate gas light and torment people yes even black mail but only a few are exposed and confronted. At 65 years old I have seen more sin in churches and their leaders than what Pastor Morris has done and no one stands up for the abused families or victims. It saddens my heart that this has happened and I hope someone helps restore the victim of this situation because there are thousands of unheard victims still needing to know they were not the problem or loved less by God. I believed I was unredeemable after hearing it for 30 years until I realized God did not create me to be the escape goat and to be abused. I hope the real men of God actually stand up in deeds and not just words. Words do not erase years of abuse but loving on someone in deeds standing with them and rebuilding them . No one helped me or cared to help rebuild me that is why my heart is heavy to see others rebuilt and loved.

Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven. Psalm 85:11

[@lw216316]

so many creative words to replace the word - sin. If there is to be a list of sinners - it would be easier to have a list of those who have not sinned. There is only one on the list - the man Jesus Christ - the God/man, the God who took on flesh and was born into the world as a man. He was tempted. He risisted temptation and did not sin. He was a perfect lamb as God the Father required. He offered Himself to the Father as a sin offering for the sins of all mankind. We know He was perfect and the offering was accepted by Father because He was raised from the dead. We died with Him and rose with Him to new life. If Christ had not been perfect then His offering would not have been accepted and he would have remained in the grave. We would have no hope. My name is on the list of those who have sinned. My name is not on the list of those who have not sinned. However, if we accept what Jesus did for us then God forgives our sins and will remember them no more. Our names are put on a new list in the book of Life. I like that list. Are you on it?

Sadly most Christians do not understand what happened at Calvary, they know that Jesus died for them so that they can be saved, but that is about as far as it goes. After that they are taught to believe that it is now their responsibility to keep themselves saved and free from sin through the efforts of keeping rules, laws and disciplines by willpower and because the flesh is weak they go right back to the bondage of sin. Jesus said in John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Truth is who Jesus is, God manifested in the flesh and what He came here to do, die on the cross not only for me to be saved but to be free from the power of sin. The only way a person can continue to be free from the power of sin is by keeping their faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross and then the Spirit which raised up Christ from the dead shall quicken our mortal bodies to fulfill His purposes for our lives. Not to bring any glory to ourselves, but to bring glory to the One who died for us. I know it works, because it is what set me free after 24 years of bondage begging God to deliver me, not realizing He had already done it 2000 years ago through a Man called Jesus who loved me and gave Himself for me. Blessings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!
