MZTV 1563: Bearing the Brand Marks of Christ

There is more than one way to suffer for Christ. Paul was beaten physically, yes, but there are wounds that go far deeper than those on the outside of the body.

I'm one of those who probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. I was in a difficult time spiritually for a while, with wondering if its real, if I was really in the body of Christ, and what helped me was listening to your videos. We need teachers like you who can explain who we are, who Christ is, and what is happening to the world. God would have had other teachers, I'm not saying that his whole operation hinges on you. But you have a God given talent for delivering information and making it in a way that's easy to understand and is entertaining. I am so thankful that you are still doing it, I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain and suffering to bring us the truth every day.

[@nancykelly5287]

If it wasn’t for you, Martin, we would not be here knowing the truth.

[@michaellknotts3193]

Martin, I am thankful God placed you in my life. This passage came to mind listening to you just now.. "Now we may not be despondent in ideal doing, for in due season we shall be reaping, if we do not faint. Consequently, then, as we have occasion, we are working for the good of all, yet specially for the family of faith. " Galatians 6:9-10. Thank you, Brother Martin ❤

[@caroleevandyk5544]

Same here Martin. Great scripture to post Michael. I’m so glad Paul wrote that.

Because of your ministry, Martin, I’ve come into scriptural truth that’s been radically life changing, transforming my walk with the Lord. I’m forever grateful for all I’m learning here on MZTV & from your books. And for others in BOC who help me along on this journey. Thank you for “staying the course”. 🤗❤️

[@SandyMiller-ep9tl]

AMEN🙏🏼💜

I'm grateful that you stayed the course, Martin. I'm also sorry for all the heartbreak that came with it. (Hugs)

If you had quit in 2009, I would have never met you, that being the year we met. Thank God for His wisdom and absolute sovereignty. He makes ready beforehand all our pathways, as well as our good works, to the delight of His will. It brings me joy to know He delights in our friendship, and that goes for all the BOC, whether we meet in this life or not. ❤

[@lawrenceschuler9276]

As many of my BOC family are doing now, I text with tear-filled eyes over your words of personal testimony Martin. You identify with the TRUE believers of The Evangel so well. Your honesty comes of agape love and understanding of God's Sovreign plan indeed. My tears are for your son Paul as well who denies you the love of your grandchildren, and having 14 loving grandchildren of my own I know the pain you feel. My sadness for Paul and all our unbelieving family members who ostracize us comes from knowing what they will feel about their actions on the day The Holy Spirit opens their hearts to these Truths we hold in heart-wrenching conviction in spite of the stigma. Whether during the Tribulation or at the Throne of Judgement (Education)...they will then understand and we will embrace and weep tears of unimaginable joy together with each of them. Stay the course my dear BOC family, run the race to the finish...it will be glorious beyond our current ability to comprehend. THANK YOU FOR SHARING MARTIN.

[@JKBelle]

Amen 🙏

[@dawng.2919]

Tears again... Beautifully said ❤️

Martin what a beautiful show. So grateful to God you're here. I came to a full understanding of the truth from watching you. All the truth, encouragement love and laughter in one package! Love you sweetheart!

[@terriitter2921]

So many brothers and sisters left comments that take the words right out of my mouth. Also, add me to the list of those that came to the knowledge of truth, all because God used you; Martin! I am grateful for you everyday! Honestly, the things I have learned from you are so precious..... But understand, being on the other end of your videos feels like fellowship ... I just wish there was a way you could feel it too If I were to be laying on my deathbed right this moment I would want your videos playing in the room; one after another, they seriously mean that much to me. Your videos ride with me in the vehicle no matter where I'm going. You bring a certain peace and calm to my life and I sure wish I could return the favor. The pain on your face during this video has me torn up, I'm so sorry about the things that you have gone through. Sometimes life gets so difficult that it is not only hard to remember that God is doing this for us and not to us, but I get downright pissed off. I sure will be glad when this is done. In the meantime we all have each other.

Martin, I for one praise our lord Christ Jesus that you stayed the course. I found you while surfing the internet right around the time you were going through your ordeal with your wife and you lead me into the evangel of Paul, Christ's evangel of grace; believed it and stayed the course with you throughout the years. Thank you for hanging in there until we are snatched out of this wicked eon. Love you man.

[@robnraa1]

You walk the walk and bear the inward scars Martin. So glad you have continued bringing the Truth of this Gospel as it has blessed me and my family immensely. Your teaching is the bright spot in my day and leads into the fortifying of the inward man as my thoughts about these mature subjects build upon themselves- if that makes sense. Hard to put into words what your teaching means to me.

[@teejosh9550]

Awesome teaching ❤🎉😊

[@matthewmichaelson9806]

Very grateful for you sticking with the evangel. I'd probably be a Universalist and not a believer if you hadn't. You brought everything into focus.

[@taylorwolfman]

Keep going brother! We all have our place in the body. You are definenty one of the shield and those who are not about that are the people I believe who are meant to build up and comfort the ecclisia from within. This is a good reminder to everyone to recognize our place in the body and go forward together knowing that both a stern hand and a gentle soul are needed. One to keep the truth pure (heaven forbid it change one iota due to us not wanting conflict, then it isn't the truth that we hold near and dear to our hearts at all), the other to full appreciate and bask in the truth (least we fall prey to the depressive state that life wants to constantly drag us down into). We are told not to dispise the correction of our Father. Let us also not despise the protection of the word. Love grace and peace to my beautiful family in Christ! Be strong. We are almost there!

[@tonysavedbygracer214]

Greetings saints from Tony & Pat in Spain 😊In the last 25 years I have come to accept and expect that family and non believing associates (we have no friends) will turn against us whatever we do. It comes with the territory of being a member of the BOC and it always happens after a while. It is spiritual. And although we were blessed to meet some members of the BOC at the Des Moines conference, it remains and is always a lonely road we tread. But this is only temporary so we bear it, 'For I am reckoning that the sufferings of the current era do not deserve the glory about to be revealed for us.' Romans 8.18

[@lorrainemacdonald3587]

Thank you brother, I hear what you are saying, so very true.

[@whizchic6252]

Wise words Tony, indeed it is spiritual. For a time it does seem lonely, but the loss of these closest connections first, much like ripping off a bandaid, seem to make it easier to pull away from this world as we grow stronger in our expectation and our longing for the consummation of our Father’s work. I don’t even have the desire anymore to be among people, and I rarely think about former friends or even relatives. There is great freedom and peace to be found in the quiet and solitude of a mind consumed by thoughts of the Lord. And because He loves us, I believe He is making it easier for us to love nothing about this world, easier to let it go, through His gracious gifts of wisdom and maturity. From the oldest to the youngest among us, we may be assured of the better things to come for ALL.

[@tonysavedbygracer214]

@@whizchic6252 Thank you and I hear you. Although I agree, life can be pretty boring and I just have to have something to occupy my time. I now play a sport and it involves mixing with people but I am just not one of them. The time will come when they turn on me but as I write, it's part of the territory. Love in jesus, Tony

Nothing but facts. I've been getting my ass kicked mentally, physically, and emotionally by everyone and everything. I am literally looked at as a laughing stock. A handsome man who can't keep a good woman to save the planet including his life. A mega talented man with nothing but a dingy apartment and a job I'm barely managing to keep. Dogs attacking and wanting to kill me. Men stalking me because they think I want their woman. Father can't stand me because I won't accept Islam. Sister constantly coming after me with her Christianity. Women from hell constantly chasing after me. Trouble everywhere I go, so I drink even as a pre diabetic. I tell the truth about God and I'm shunned. You can feel the indignation from people when you dismiss their erroneous beliefs and back up yours with evidence. The majority of the world hates truth and hates God. I feel your pain man. 😢

GOOD MORNING SAINTS

[@caroleevandyk5544]

Hi Donald, been a while.🤪

[@jamiesmith449]

Hey Martin and also to those of the Body of Christ. What Martin does is to only point to scripture and its accurate translation, considering remote and immediate context. We are encouraged to try the things that differ; to truly try the things that truly differ. This is of utmost importance. We should not seek to combine into one these things that differ. I suppose some may think it to be a cult following. But how can one teach that no one has agency concerning salvation from sin and death and yet be a cult figure. “Cult” carries the meaning of “hidden”. Nothing is hidden. There is nothing to join. Martin has a strong personality as do other believers, yet there is no central authority for any of us excepting Christ and the scriptures. We bear these inward marks. That is true. It is always in the background. But through all these disappointments we can look assuredly to the future. That is when our great expectations will be a reality and we can put behind this ongoing meager existence. In the meantime, we carry on as best we can.

[@MosesHanma]

I actually appreciate when you call out the f uccery in these fake members and opps. Who's the next person in line for a good truth lashing from Martin? 💪🏿💯

[@markhaukaas4170]

Martin, I'm sorry for all the horrible things you've been through and are going through. For the sake of all here at MZTV and for my sake, I'm glad you continued in the work. As to the QR code, I don't like the look or feel of it with your show. The QR code sounds like something a Christian ministry would do.

[@Lindamorse-qb1vo]

I relate to Christ's rejection, abandonment, being all alone, discarded and thrown away. You read many messages, never mine when I pour my heart out daily to you. My scars, my stories could write 15 books 📚 of suffering of many levels. But I chose NOT to write, to speak my many tragic stories, because I didn't want to hurt these people who hurt me. So all my life I have kept all of these traumas to myself and instead I tell God everyday that He is all I need. I am hurt everything I let a man know just a peace of me, yeah, members of the BOC, who just used the title to get to know me, then dump me when finding out that I suffered things no one talks about. I tried to die. Didn't work. So, I stay in the Word hours a day, and watch you daily. I hear your pain with Paul. I'm treated the same way. But you at least have your ministry, all of us. You are blessed more than you know. Even though my comments are never good enough to be shared with (more rejection even here) I have Jesus Christ more than anyone I know. To hell with the freakin world 🌎 I will be gone soon.

Zelle would be great. Martin, you are NOT alone. I too have lost my family, except 1 person, 1 daughter, I have 2. My family of origin left me forever ago. 💔 And I share not a spouse or partner. It's me and Jesus 💯 UNTIL you and your evangel I now walk, though distant, with you and your audience, the true BOC. YOU MAKE THE CONCORDANT LITERAL BIBLE come even more alive. It is number 1 and you ADD to it what we ALL NEED DAILY. THE CROSS ✝️ OF CHRIST is our being, our air we breathe. We are alone 😔 but NOT alone at all. We have the realization because of YOU MARTIN. YOU MY BROTHER are the modern day Paul. Yes I said that and I mean it. I am done with the world years ago. It hurts to be alive here. 💔 thank you Martin. I am poor. Like Paul, I had riches, now I walk barely able to get by. I'm in CA, what do you expect? I give to you when I can. I go without to bless you because you bless my life.
