That's the message right ghere
I used to believe I couldn’t stand before God.
On the one hand, I held a Master’s degree in Theology, a dissertation shy of my Ph.D., and on the other, a deep-rooted belief that I was a sinner.
Everybody is fooling themselves if they think they can live a sinful nature and be saved. The bottom line is that we have to accept that we are sinners. And that Jesus did die for our sins but every time that Jesus did forgive people of their sins, he said go and sin no more. So the separatin woman, the prostitute, all of them. Everybody, he ever forgave. He also said to them, go and sin no more. And with Jesus and his strength. We can overcome that. We are overcoming the power of sin and the power of death through Jesus righteousness. But in order for us to have everlasting life cannot have any sin in us, and Jesus will give us that strength to be able to do that. And when Jesus comes back and he's coming back very soon, we need to be ready for him. We need to stop living and doing things that are against God and his nature. That includes filling our minds with watching corruptful movies listening to music with swearing and slandering and gossip, huage, greek mythology, yoga, witchcraft tarot cards numerology astrology, all of that spiritual enlightenment stuff and all of this ugliness. that is hateful, that is in all of us right now. But with Jesus, we can come to overcome this stuff because the enemy is telling us that oh, we can still sin, and we can still live out an unrighteous life, or a self righteous life. And God will still, accept us into his Kingdom and have everlasting life. No, that is the enemy telling you that right from the beginning? What did the serpent tell Eve. " You shall not surely die". There was only one word that changed from Gods sentence, which was will Shirley die. That's what God did say. If you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will surely die. But the serpent said to the woman Eve, he said, you shall not surely die and that is a lie from the enemy, and that is a lie that has been going on ever since the beginning of human. Existence, so living in your sin, and that is not what God wants for us and expects from us to live in our sins. So we can keep sinning doing all of the Sin and getting away with it, and thinking that we do not have to be accountable to the stuff we need to be accountable for. Our sinful nature, we have to say that okay, am I going to want to live with Jesus and have everlasting life? If I do, then I have to change and I need to change with Jesus. Living through me and his strength, because if we don't accept Jesus as our Lord and savior we will have pride. And pride comes from satan, and that is what happened to satan for getting kicked out of heaven was because he was prideful, right from the beginning. So pride, it's just like the saying pride comes before the fall. So as soon as you're prideful, you will fall, it may not be Right away or it might not be right after you become prideful. It could be 2 days, 3 days, 10 years. Whatever, but that pride will make you fall. And that's why we need to humble ourselves and repent, and even David and Daniel, in the Bible, all of these Men and women. God looked up on as good and faithful servants and who are Christlike figures. They were all humble, and they listen to god, and they realize that they needed to trust in god, not in themselves.
Then the Holy Spirit showed me the truth.
One day, I’m sitting in my living room watching YouTube sermons, and this preacher says, “If you don’t have the Holy Spirit, you’re all about yourself.”
I'm sorry to tell you this, but we are sinners. And we need to repent from our sins, so we can become more like Christ and ask the Lord, Jesus Christ to forgive us of our sinful nature and he will help us grow to become who we were meant to become family that is rooted in righteousness through christ. Because when the Lord comes back for his people, they are going to be filled with the Holy Spirit and in order for the Holy Spirit to be dwelling in his people, they need to be without blumish, without spot or wrinkle and in order for us to have no fault, we need to ask Jesus to, come and live and dwell in us. So that we will be more like him, and we need to get away from this idea that oh I have to be accepting that I will never change and I will always be a sinner. No, we have to get away from that mentality that we cannot change. We can change. But it is only through Jesus Christ that we are able to change. Because he died on the cross for our sins. So we could have another chance of everlasting life. But that is the only way that we can have that is by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior and even Jesus said, John 14:15 "if you love me, keep my commandments", so Jesus knows that we are not perfect. And he knows that we need his help, and we need to humble ourselves and accept that we are imperfect, and need his help. So we need to at least persevere and make an effort to come to the terms and not have a prideful attitude, and with Jesus help, we will change because The whole foundation about Christianity is faith, Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”and believing, without it before it happens. And most people know the verse John 3:16, For God, so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So in order for us to have everlasting life and is going to have everlasting life, will need to believe in Jesus who is Gods son, so everyone will need to listen to Jesus in what he said? And that means he said, if you love me, keep my commandments, that means keeping all 10 commandments. And that is able to happen with Jesus and his strength. It is not our strength that we can do this. But with Jesus and his strength, we can do this, and we need to believe it. Not just say it, but actually believe it. Confirm it in our mind and our hearts and have to be Firm about it. May God bless all those who believe upon Jesus Christ? And I pray that all people we'll believe in the lord, because having everlasting life is something that we cannot comprehend right now, but we can comprehend it when it actually happens. May God bless you all in Jesus mighty name.
Amen✝️🙏
Whoa.
He continued, “How can we do ministry with what disciples didn’t have and lack what they did?”
Amen❤❤❤
He meant that we have the New Testament but may be missing the Holy Spirit.
The moment I heard that, I shot straight up. I knew that I didn’t have what the disciples had. “Without the Holy Spirit, you’re never gonna make it,” continued the preacher.
This theology is dangerous presumption.
Presumption is Satan’s counterfeit of true faith.
We are in the typical day of atonement brother. A time of afflicting our souls and repentance.
That line brought a reckoning to my life. I mean, I knew that my life did not measure up to what I read in the Bible. The way I was living was not going to get me what I so desperately wanted; peace.
I believed, no scratch that, I knew, that God identified me as a wretched sinner. Yes, Jesus loves me, but without Him, the Father is furious with me.
The problem with this gospel is that there’s no genuine transformation. It’s just people walking in the same crap they’ve always been but now they’re walking on stilts so it doesn’t touch their clothes. Followed to its natural conclusion, Love Reality is the pinnacle form of the Laodicean church. In short, it’s an act of presumption, not true grace.
That was the lie.
Then the preacher said this, “You know the problem with the prodigal son story? It’s that we always identify him as a prodigal, but the whole time he was always a son!”
This why many pastor will fail in ministry just like this dude, he thinks he knows more about the word that he wants to be this smart guy doing his own will and not allowing God will. This is a Cults organization.
This is the truth that changed my life — the reality that the Father sees me as His son, and He loves me.
“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” — 1 John 3:1.
Pastor your wrong The Holy Spirit will change a person if that person allows the Holy Spirit to change them not an immediate change but a walking with Christ everyday on going daily lifestyle which is picking up your Cross everyday, denying yourself and follow him.
From this simple and profound revelation, the Holy Spirit established my true identity. I am a son — redeemed, restored, and reconciled to God.
Jesus did this for you and me. It’s the kindness of God that led me to change my perspective and renounce the lie I was living under. His love for me changed my life.
This Pastor is wrong. We are sinner, we are not like God and we will never be perfect because we make mistake and fall everyday, even though we accept Christ into our life however we still have work which is picking up our Cross and deny ourself everyday not just one day and follow Christ because we still live in a sinful world, temptation and evil in this world still around.
By grace, through faith in Jesus, I was free from sin. No more anxiety, insecurity, guilt, shame, or fear. And that freedom is available for everyone!
What Jesus accomplished on the cross is evidence of the Father’s love for us. We can be confident and bold because we know our identity and value.
I can not make sense this theology when I sinned, what will I call it since Jesus took away my sin long time ago. But when I admitted I sinned, I immediately repented and immediately my sin is gone. But still sin was there in a moment. Confusing to apply in reality but comforting if I’m guilty and frustrated with my sinning - once or many in my lifetime
He defeated sin; I don’t have to. I live from that victory because He already did it for me! That’s good news. Believe it, receive it, and walk it out!

What is your stance on “sinless perfection” - the moment I believed the Calvary story? If I violated the 10 commandments, it’s a sin because the Law is perfect, just and holy but according to you, my faith in Jesus will not make me sin anymore. We’re not trap in this cycle in anymore. So the only way to summarize Love Reality theology is — once you accept Jesus, you’ll never sin anymore. It’s gone forever - so tell me who among your follower can say, they’ve not sinned anymore until this day?
Hey! I’m Jonathan Leonardo, the guy in the video. I’m the speaker for Love Reality, a Christian ministry that shares the gospel of Jesus and empowers others to do the same.
We started touring in 2017, reaching over 15,000 people and establishing communities of believers all over the world. We are excited to continue the mission online.
Sin is a choice and your choices reveals who you serve whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness.
We developed a new digital experience called Waves. Wave One is about how Jesus set humanity free from sin. The series explores how He did it, why He did it, and what that means for us.

Confused of his own theology. Praying for brother.

If we are still sinning, then we aren't free from the prison of sin. Being dependent on God, and allowing the finger of God to write his commandments in our heart is what sanctification is all about. Being in a committed walk with God, because we love God is the rejection of iniquity.
@matthewlongfellow5965As Much As Jesus Loves us and cares for Us, Many will be Lost because of Disobedience, so the Gospel has another part which we also have to keep in mind John 14:15 If you Love Me Keep My Commandments. This aspect is often negelected we cannot keep the commandments on our own but the more we submit in Christ the lest we will sin, but we must get victory over Sin In Christ. The Rom 7 experience is not the true christian experience of sinning and repenting but 1 Corinthians 9:27 is the true overcomer life where Paul says I keep my Body under subjection this is the Victory by Faith.Jesus told the Woman Caught in Adultry to go and sin no more this part was also necessary which we must not leave out
@zakeeabdullah6990ONLY ONLY ONLY IF THEY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD TO FULFILL GODS PROPHECY!!!! THEY MUST BELIEVE IN JESUS AND ACCEPT HIM AS THEIR SAVIOR
@Becca-r8jIf it wasn't hard, Everybody would become Christians
@theprodigal1969Amen!
@v9473dFsith without works, is dead.
Repent is key. We don't have a get out of jail free card because Jesus died for our sins. He died so that we had an example of w perfect life lived as a human, and so that we live.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1 John 3:7 KJV
Here is the true test. If we abide in Christ, if the love of God dwells in us, our feelings, our thoughts, our purposes, our actions, will be in harmony with the will of God as expressed in the precepts of His holy law.
Amen
@tonyromero8284Jesus Christ died to save me from my sins and not in my sins. The Father repeats over and over again turn ye turn ye from my sins Why shall you die? Peter and Paul James and John said REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST. JESUS ALSO SAID KEEP MY FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS AS I HAVE KEPT MY FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS AND HE NEVER CHANGES SO THE LAW NEVER CHANGED THE SABBATH DIDN'T CHANGE, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY NEVER CHANGED EAT FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE ALL IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS. EXCEPT WHERE I QUOTE WHAT JESUS CHRIST PETER JOHN AND PAUL SAID. IF SATAN CAN GET ME TO BREAK THE LEAST OF ANY COMMANDMENTS I CAN NOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND BE SAVED. . SO I APPRECIATE THE GOSPEL IN 7 MINUTES I KNOW THAT ALOT IS BEING LEFT OUT. AND I WAS NEVER TAUGHT THAT I DIED TO SELF IN BAPTISM AND I MUST DIE DAILY. I WAS RAISED CATHOLIC AND OFTEN WONDERED HOW SATAN WOULD DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD AND IT'S THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL LIE AND THE SABBATH LIE AND THAT JESUS COULDN'T FREE ME LIE AND I HAD TO TELL SOME priest and make an allegiance to the Pope of Rome by keeping the false Sabbath. This is why there is No Short Cuts We Must Read Our BIBLES STUDY IT AND LIVE BY IT to Have Eternal Life and I do believe that it is much easier to be Saved than to be Lost. Thats why I want to be rebaptized and Fall at Our Savior's Feet and Let HIM HIS HOLY GHOST GUIDING ME HOW TO WALK WITH HIM.
@carolyngaletti2415living the Gospel and telling it to every nation tribe tongue and people. We are saved from sin and not in our sins. I'M JUST NOW REALIZING HOW MUCH GOD THE FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST LOVES ME AND NOW THROUGH POWER AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST I CAN NOW NOT BEING DECEIVED BY THE PAPACY LIES AND THEIR PREACHING A DIFFERENT GOSPEL. NOT THE GOSPEL OF THE TRUTH AND JESUS AT THE CROSS CAN BE PERFECT LIKE JESUS CHRIST ASKED ME TO. AND NOT BELIEVE THE FALSE DOCTRINES I WAS TAUGHT ESPECIALLY THE TRUE SABBATH EATING RIDE AND TAKING CARE OF THE TEMPLE OF MY BODY THAT JESUS CHRIST SO FREED ME SIN AND MEANS HE NEVER CHANGES AND THE COMMANDMENTS LAW WRITTEN BY THE FINGER OF GOD ARE TRUTH AND THE ONLY TRUTH.
@carolyngaletti2415If you love me keep my commandment. Jesus words.
@slpuseySorry, but you fail to accept that we must pick up our cross everyday and to ask God to be with us in good and bad times.
We cannot be saved by our works nor can we be changed until the Second coming of Christ.
Good luck with your understanding.
where does the bible say we are to become dead to LIES? That may be true for the Christian, but it DOES say explicitly we shall become dead to SIN, which is the transgression of the law. Belief, faith, trust, and freedom all matter. They are necessary. They will not, however, negate daily, momentary choice to deny self, put oneself under the Lordship of Christ, letting His mind dwell in us, whereby we are given power of the Living Christ through the Holy Spirit to walk in the fallen flesh we live in, as though it were holy. There is nothing fishy or fake about it. If we were blasphemers, we will no longer blaspheme; whoremongers will no longer go a-whoring, destroyers of the body temple will cease from destructive habits of diet and life-style, etc.
If this teaching does not understand that faith is real and the works are real, too, then it is deception. You can have works without faith, but never faith without works. We must focus on faith, not on works, this is true. But let us not make mockery of the very real struggle we have against the flesh, the devil, and the world. There is a striving.
Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Often the lead-in sounds good. But then, what was not said at the beginning comes to light through the questioning of people who know their Bibles.
This feels shifty to me, like maybe we are slipping on to the ground of holy flesh, that cannot sin after conversion. My bible and the inspiration of the word of God through the human messenger to the final generation says that we are not glorified unto the new body, which includes the flesh-mind, until the second coming. We will pass probation and we will not sin, but the fallen flesh is our house until we are renewed at His coming. Until then, we keep this body under, and we bring every thought into subjection to Christ. This is by free choice and it is war against the flesh we live in. This is not a freedom from temptation or struggle, but by HIS power it is freedom from transgressing the law of God, which is SIN. Sin is committed in the mind and acted out in the flesh. I do not hear a discussion of any of this in the introductory speech.
You know it was Lucifer himself who was responsible for inverting the original gospel and watering down the sinner's need for surrender. And let's remember that heresy often sounds smooth and trendy at the outset. A lie doesn't have to be bald-faced, it can simply be a slight bending, twisting, or distorting of the light.
Don't be his henchman with this false theology. There is still time to return to the true, Biblical understanding of salvation without leading millions of young adults to their perdition with this "good good" kush gospel. Pun intended!
Written in love, sincerely.
Praise God!
Galatians 5:1
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
In Christ, by faith, we are free from sin! Praise God that in Christ I can stand firm and not be burdened by the slavery sin is!
YAYYY GODDDD HE BROUGHT ME THIS. i am free from sin ❤❤
@KoshercarnivoreandketoOnly Christ can claim to be free from sin, we are “free from sin” because of Christs atonement, the propitiation (replacement) of our sin. In application, we are counted as “free from sin”, free from its penalty, free from its eternal curse. We will sin, we do sin, it’s guaranteed. Thus faith, love, humility and confession MAINTAIN our relationship of grace assuring Christ’s sinlessness is ours. But do we make this a point of boasting? “There can be no self-exaltation, no boastful claim to FREEDOM FROM SIN”, on the part of those who walk in the shadow of Calvary's cross.” GC 471
@gregcox6165Praises to God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ may God bless and keep you my brother
@NothandoHoho-cd1btThe Christian walk is very much like a marriage relationship. in the marriage relationship is a reoccurring theme throughout the New Testament. And no marriage relationship is without some trials and “work” will there be uncomfortable moments yes! But without a “ daily renewing of our spirit” We no longer have that marriage relationship. God‘s provision for forgiveness is made available to all, and the only requirement is that we receive it and ask for forgiveness. When we choose not to ask for forgiveness, that sin immediately becomes unforgiven, or “ unpardoned.” God will continue to forgive us as long as we continue to ask. The unique thing about God‘s forgiveness is that when God forgives us he forgives us like we have never sinned. When man forgives us we are still forgiven sinners. One of the works of the Holy Spirit is that still small voice that convicts us when we have wrong with God. One mistake I believe Christians make is feeling bad about being convicted of sin, but if we change our attitude and look at conviction as a blessing from God, and how to purify our hearts than our entire outlook can change.
@MSRWorkshopWorthy,Worthy, worthy is the lamb as shone by moses and Enoch and the apostles. They obeyed. Not u but christ. John 14:15;15:10,14
@dfouchongBut God's people of the bible became holy men by obeying. They are our Divine teachers who obeyed and died in Christ. Not i but Christ. Paul and the apostles are martyres. They rather die tham sin, and their rewards awaits the. 1Thess 4:13-18 It is best to obey and be happy.
@dfouchongI think he is getting a few things wrong while stating the truth. God loves us true no matter what our sins are, but it is also strong enough to do more, which is overcome!
You keep failing not because of God.
Thousands of the children of God, who have been betrayed into sin, when ready to give up to despair have remembered how David's sincere repentance and confession were accepted by God, notwithstanding he suffered for his transgression; and they also have taken courage to repent and try again to walk in the way of God's commandments.
Whoever under the reproof of God will humble the soul with confession and repentance, as did David, may be sure that there is hope for him or her. Whoever will in faith accept God's promises will find pardon. The Lord will never cast away one truly repentant soul. He has given this promise: “Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me” (Isaiah 27:5). “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7).—Patriarchs and Prophets, 726.
Very itchy ears doctrine, and very false. We die daily (repent) because we sin.
@gregcox6165Lies believed breaks the circle of love and trust, broken love and trust results in fear-driven selfishness, fear-driven selfishness results in acts that lead to death.
So many focus on the acts that lead to death rather than understanding that once love and trust is restored in us than we are recognized as justified and sanctified by His empowering grace in faith in Him.
We can only truly be justified however until we fully realize we CANNOT of ourselves overcome the sinful lusts that dwell inwardly and thus we need the justifying and sanctifying grace of God to overcome all sin.
What is justification by faith?—It is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust, and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself. When men see their own nothingness, they are prepared to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ. When they begin to praise and exalt God all the day long, then by beholding they are becoming changed into the same image. What is regeneration?—It is revealing to man what is his own real nature, that in himself he is worthless. SpTA09 62.2
Amen
@The_lovelybloomLove it plain simple Gospel “good news”. That’s what we are all commissioned to do and this brotha just simplified it for us… just Tag and Share to everyone on your social media and phone contacts can receive a hey I love you and was thinking about you and wanted to share this with you. It is truly good news. Hope you enjoy it and are blessed as I was. Or something to that effect. I also think you could simply txt them and say hey wanna play Tag? When they respond and they will no matter what shoot them the video and simply say “Your It”. If they have ears to hear they will take it from there. Blessings to you all in Jesus mighty name Amen
@paulbarryassociatesOh my! This is an AMAZING summary of our reality in Christ! AMAZING! Thank you Love Reality! This is so awe-inspiring... the reality we have within Jesus. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@chacho9148We are justified by the faith OF Jesus Christ. Not the faith IN Jesus Christ. It is not our faith in Him that justifies us, but His faith, given in us to have. Recite to Galatians 2:16-21 KJV for reference. Great video <3
@korrinacrobinson7267so you don’t believe in godly sorrow/repentance/contrition + putting your faith and trust in Jesus? Just receive + believe?
