The Catholic Church is Filled with the Holy Spirit

- People often say The Catholic Church doesn't have the Holy Spirit. However in this video, former Protestant pastor Keith Nester makes the case for why he thinks the Catholic Church has more Holy Ghost power than anybody.

As a former Protestant Christian there were moments I had with the holy Spirit and alot of others nothing but as a Catholic Convert so many times and so many blessings and much more!! Woooh! :)) And it keeps coming more than I expected!
Carl Parna the Catholic Church bans the speaking in tongue. It’s wrong, that’s why the Catholic Church is without power.
There are Catholic Carasmatic events around every country, my priest isn’t against it. Plus the Catholic Church has 2000 years experience in evangelization whereas Protestants started only around 1517 ad
Carl Parna Actually, I was converting to the Latin ( maybe one day Hebrew a) tradional Catholic Church. The Church of Vatican II is a Protestant Church. Yes, like Protestants, the priests of Nuvo ordo are open to the speaking in tongue, but the foundation is completely wrong. You should have the good foundation and the speaking in tongue. I try to talk about this subject with the traditional priests.
twn B that’s not true there Carasmatic events around almost in every country. When I was a Pentecostal even I had heard that they had Special Catholic Carasmatic events around apart from church mass.
2 times I attended a Latino Catholic Carasmatic convention.
Carl Parna Latino church or Latin mass church? Actually I was a Protestant missionary in Paris, the Holy Spirit guided me from the nouvo ordo French speaking Catholic church to the Latin mass speaking St. Peter community church, at the end HE guided me to the Latin mass Sspx church ( we consider that the concile of Vatican II not valide, because the Peter who owns the keys, has gone astray.) the true Church becomes minority, for HE resists to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
Sounds like something a Pentecostal would say. As a former Pentecostal (50 years) I can say that the question is one that would be asked. Thankfully, it is the Holy Spirit that lead me to the Catholic Church!

Greetings! :-)
Be very, very, careful,... that we are not invoking a different "Jesus", and a different spirit, from our foolishness and ignorance! The result of which will be very, very costly!
"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I too will love him and SHOW MYSELF TO HIM.
(John 14:21 NIV)
"If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him,
and WE WILL COME TO HIM and MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM.
(V.23 NIV)
Therefore Paul warned that he who does not obey Jesus' commandments /teaching yet partake in eating the bread and drinking the wine does not discern the body and he eats judgment on himself (1 Cor.11:27-30).
There are many who are not true followers of Jesus (who call him 'Lord' but deny His lordship) and who do not know His words and do not obey them and yet partake in the bread and wine. They are ignorantly unaware that a different "Jesus" is showing himself to them.
Paul said some of those were sick and some had died after partaking in the bread and wine as a result of their ignorance. Scripture tells us that God's people perish because of ignorance!
Keith, this is a little prayer that I love to recite:
'Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Amen.'
You are so convinced of the Catholic faith and I just love it.
Continue the good work of the spirit and we are so pleased to welcome you warmly to the Catholic Church.
Together in Christ and with Mary, our Mother. God bless you and your family.
Rachel love the prayer! Did you write it or find it somewhere? We are looking for prayers to add to our rosary for conversion of Protestants especially. Also for the trolls of Catholic channels... they are, I believe, Satan’s tools to temp Catholics.
Queen of Hearts it’s a written prayer, and yes, it’s a beautiful one!

Lara H. Thank you!
@@queenofhearts7726, this prayer is coiming from the Holy Spirit chaplet or novena and also the holy spirit rosary.... I love this chaplet, such a beautiful prayer. You could purchase the chaplet on any catholic book store
Very well said Keith. The most important thing I've found by coming back to the Catholic Church, I would say, it's the peace of mind. My life is not perfect, I have all sort of problems, but I know that God is taking care of it....It's like I've found my place. I noticed the difference in me and even other people have started to notice also. I wouldn't trade this peace of mind for anything in this world. Now I fully understand the meaning of "Coming Home". I'm home now, this is my place.
Welcome Home!
Was all that necessary ? I doubt anybody reads it all, but paragraphs would certainly help.
truth be told were you commenting on the original comment here or cloud’s skewed diatribe?
I thought I feel this alone but am on my way to conversion to the catholic church, what I realised is that in the protestant church there you feel alot of anxiety & restlessness as if you will not get what is needed to be a child of God until some sort of manifestation happens, but the few times I have gone to the catholic church, I felt gaining stability & more trust in God, believing in his mercy & will , more peace in the heart, when I feel depressed ,simply I go to mass earlier ,have a few minutes of quiet time medidating & praying then all my fears are gone ,no anxiety but peace. This is the gift of the Holy Spirit ,the more he is invoked before entering the church, at the kneeling & every prayer the more he gives you peace.
"For whoever is
ASHAMED OF ME
and
OF MY WORDS
[ or whoever overthrows my words by this faith ], of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."
(Luke 9:26 ESV)
.
"I am the living bread
[ WORD ]
that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread
[ WORD ],
he will live forever.
This bread
[ WORD ]
is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world."
(John 6:51 NIV)
.
"The Spirit gives life [ to the flesh/ bread/ Word ]; the flesh [/ bread/ Word by itself ] counts for nothing.
The words I have
spoken to you
are SPIRIT and
they are LIFE."
(V.63 NIV)
"He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me [ by the flesh /Word ] unless the Father has enabled him [ or has revealed the Word to him by the SPIRIT ]." "
(V.65)
"You search the Scriptures [ by the flesh ] because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they [, the Scriptures that are enabled by the SPIRIT, ] that bear witness about me, yet you [ who do not get a revelation of the Word from the SPIRIT ] refuse to come to me that you may have LIFE."
(John 5:39,40 ESV)
Bless you Keith, this video is right on. I'm a protestant in the process of studying the Catechism....it is Amazing. Questions I've had for years are being answered.
Praying for you.
@@einsigne thank you so much!
Way to go! Keep studying and don’t forget to check the footnotes... the Laudate app is excellent! It includes an easily searchable Catechism along with two versions of the Catholic Bible and the Vatican documents the catechism refers to. It also has daily readings including little meditations, prayers, an interactive rosary with the Bible verses that go with the mysteries, etc. ... pretty much everything you could want to know! And it’s free! Welcome home! 🙏🏼
@@charlesvandenburgh7008 The word "Bible" and "Biblical" aren't even in the Word of God. Wake up, Charles!
@@charlesvandenburgh7008 Why do you call Scripture "Bible" when the word "Bible" is un-Scriptural?
Thinking your speaking a language that wins converts. Thankful for the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church that Jesus gave us! Sometimes the message is with lofty words and difficult to grasp, but you are speaking a language that makes it easy to understand.
So beautiful, wonderful!! It encourages me to keep staying in the Catholic Church 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm so happy to see a former protestant who now bears witness to the truth of the Catholic faith. Keith, I will pray that you will keep the faith. Remember, Satan will continue to harass you but we are here to pray for your continued zeal. Continue with being humble because that is your weapon and pray the Rosary daily. You will be in my daily Rosary prayers, too.
I would challenge any non-Catholic who wants to challenge this wonderful man to read the book Rome Sweet Home by Dr. Scott Hahn
Charles Vandenburgh
Actually, bible alone - sola scripta - is not biblical! I challenge you to find that anywhere in the Bible! The book of Matthew and Paul’s writings condemn corrupt tradition not tradition! How do you think the word was passed down before The Catholic Church compiles the Bible in the 300’s?...
Charles Vandenburgh
P.S. faith alone also isn’t biblical... read the book of James, that Luther also tries to remove, “Faith without works is dead.” Not that you buy your way to heaven, but you ‘earn it’ by living your faith... a work, an action... a verb!
Charles Vandenburgh
P.P.S. Also, I dare you to do some honest research into this... watch Dr. Scott Hahn’s conversion includes RUclips just as a start... be open minded and honest with yourself... God bless!!!
@@charlesvandenburgh7008
Sounds like the Bible you are reading is wrong since no where in the scriptures do the words sola Scriptura/ bible alone appear next to eachother. It's not biblical.
How do you suppose Christ's teachings got passed on up until the scriptures were compiled and arranged into the book we call the Bible?
Amen!!!
I’m in my 50s, a mother of 4, a teacher, had been a devout Catholic all my life and a member of a Catholic Charismatic group. Two years ago, on Pentecost Sunday, I received the gift of healing and gift of tears while I was fulfilling the role of a godmother in a confirmation rite at mass. I have no doubt that the Holy Spirit is very much active in the Catholic Church! Thank God for these gifts of the Holy Spirit!
@@TriciaRP You are right that tears are not a fruit and definitely not a gift of the Holy Spirit. However, did you have to be so rude and uncharitable in your correction? God love you,
.It’s wonderful that you had a moving and emotional experience during the confirmation rite, however, tears are not defined as a gift of the Holy Spirit. The church defines the following as the 7 spiritual GIFTS of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel (Right Judgment), Knowledge, Fortitude (Courage), Piety and Fear of the Lord (Reverence/Awe). The 9 FRUITS of the Holy Spirit, signs of the Holy Spirit at work in the soul are: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control. Many people do mix these up or bring in other attributes, however, these are the ones recognized by the church for ages.
I receive consolations whenever the Holy Spirit sees i need them!!! The Power of Grace is Amazing in Our Catholic Church!!! Thank you Most Holy Trinity One God for allowing me to be born into the Catholic Church- Jesus' Bride!!!
You are so Blessed
Wish I was
I am a convert, joined the Holy Catholic church in my forties
Happiest day of my life. Love and peace.
Our Church is Supernatural and filled with the Holy Spirit!!!!
David Ortiz she did not make Paul an apostle Jesus did

Catholic church is a spiritual house of bondage and suppression
Jesus said in John 14 that He would manifest Himself to those who loved Him and obeyed His teaching/ commands. This is a very deep saying because God's word is sharper than a two edged sword.
Take
"the SWORD of the Spirit,
which is the WORD OF GOD"
(Ephesians 6:17)
The Word of God is the sword of the Holy Spirit, and it is sharper than any other double edged swords.
If you do not have the Word abiding in you, and you do not know His Word and do not obey His teaching, and yet you claim that the Spirit of Jesus manifests Himself to you in the partaking of the bread and wine, then your claim is not in line with the Word of God. Can you call a handicapped "spirit" (without the Sword) the Holy Spirit..?? Can you call the "spirit" who is void of God's Word the Spirit of Jesus..?? Jesus Himself is the Word (John 1:1) who became flesh (V.14), and that's the flesh (Word) that you are eating. Can you call the flesh which is void of the Word the flesh of Jesus, the very flesh that you are eating?
When tempted by Satan, Jesus said to him:
"It is written, "Man shall not live by BREAD alone, but by every WORD that comes from the mouth of God." "
(Matthew 4:4 ESV)
Jesus Himself ate every Word that comes from God and He didn't fall into Satan's temptation. Can you, who eat the bread which is void of God's Word, claim to have eaten the flesh of Jesus and have overcome Satan's temptation?
"For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's DEATH until he comes
[ and thereby you also proclaim your death to the law of sin until he comes ].
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner
[ /while he is still living in SIN ]
will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord [ /guilty of crucifying the Lord all over again ].
A man ought to examine himself
[ if he is still under the LAW ]
before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.
For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the [ death of the ] body of the Lord
[ and thereby without recognizing his own death to the law of sin ]
eats and drinks judgment on himself."
(1Cor.11:26-30 NIV)
Hey Keith! Love your work. Thank you. God bless.
Keith, I love your channel and your perspective on the Church. Having delved into the Pentecostal world for a period it got to a point where it was literally making the hair on my neck stand up... it was terrifying when You look at it with intelligence and not an emotion
Alexander My husband went only once to a Pentecostal church (before we met)... freaked him right out! He doesn’t freak easily either! Thankfully he will be coming home to the Catholic Church this Easter!
Alexander after many years of study and prayer I came to the conclusion that the Pentecostal church was wrong in what the expression of Pentecost is. I left the Pentecostal church before I was serious about becoming a Catholic. In Other words I did not leave the Pentecostal church because I became Catholic, I became Catholic later.
Fat Puppy
Welcome home!!!
Alexander Thanks... glad to be home!
I had a Protestant ask me if I knew the Gospel. Yes, we actually hear the Gospel at every single Mass. People don't do their homework and study Catholicism. They just listen to anti-Catholic pastors and run with it.
Fully agree people speak what they have heard , not learned it’s like that on every side but it’s difficult for me to study or learn when all I see from the channels and comments is people bowing in front of statues and idols and praying to Mary praying to angels ... it’s against what I’ve read my entire life ... I’m guessing I have the wrong book , let’s be honest can GOD be that diff ? Can he honestly accept idol worship on one hand and expect it on the other ... Someone has to be wrong
Samandmckenziedoes - I'm historically a devout Church of Christ Christian (and we're typically among the biggest critics of Catholicism). I've been visiting a Catholic church for awhile now, and I have yet to see even ONE person bow down to a statue or pray to it. The WHOLE focus of the entire Mass is God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, more so than at any Church of Christ service I have ever attended. In their songs, and even in their prayers, there's a focus and worshipfulness to a degree I've never experienced - one of many reasons I can now say that I'm soon to become Catholic.
Yes, there are statues in every Catholic church building, and I have heard them likened to the collection of family photos you may have hanging on the wall in your house -- we all know without question that they're not the actual people, but are reminders of loved ones. The Catholic Church views all of its saints similarly -- as beloved family.
Maybe instead of listening to what your Protestant friends say about Catholics (like I always did, without questioning), you should go and see for yourself, like I've now done. Attending Mass for the first time is a real culture shock, but if you study up a little in advance to understand what's going on and what some of the ritualistic behaviors are all about, you'll understand what an amazingly beautiful experience the Mass is.
I’m willing to bet that there are many fallen away Catholics or Catholics who are wavering about their faith that will be brought back to the fullness of the Catholic Church because of Keith’s words. Keith is doing great things for Protestants and Catholics!! GOD bless Keith!!
Thank you so much for these kind words
Great talk Keith, my brother in faith...keep going and God Bless You!
Unfortunately many Catholics leave the Church because a Pentecostal, Baptist, etc.. shows up and tells them about how nice their music is at there church and how they feel the “ true” presence of God there. This is a huge problem especially in America and we need to start speaking up about this issue. God bless you all
Charles Vandenburgh oh really confusion? The Church is not perfect, but it’s not confused. Protestants can’t even come together because of the countless denominations and they all have one thing in common Bible alone and how much they hate the Catholic Church. Do your hw and actually study the Church Fathers. I could go on and on, but until you decide to actually read or watch some amazing conversation stories and teachings from Scott Hahn, Steve Ray, John Henry Newman, etc you’ll never know the fullness of the faith. The world hates the Catholic Church not the denominations.
Charles Vandenburgh “ To be rich in history is to cease to be protestant” -John Henry Newman
@@charlesvandenburgh7008 To be fair, you are also following the letters of the apostles who were also sinful, flesh and blood. Jesus chose Peter who cut a man's ear off, and even denied Jesus three times. Jesus chose a sinful man and changed him (Saul to Paul). I guess their writings are definitely not the safest road to travel too?
@@charlesvandenburgh7008 But what they are doing is just holding fast to the traditions/teachings passed down from generation to generation that came from the Apostles, as Paul says in his writings. The Church's own agenda is the same as from the beginning at Pentecost: to evangelize to the world proclaiming God and the Word. ^_^
@@charlesvandenburgh7008 Also, as a Body of Christ, everyone has to help each other to persevere and live the good race. That's what being part of the Body is anyway, not doing it alone.
This is a fantastic video. I love your obvious presence of the Holy Spirit depicted through your enthusiasm.
Keith Nester The Catholic church was formed by the Holy spirit on Pentecost day. In the book of Heaven Our Blessed Mother explained very clearly how the church was born. The Catholic church is called Holy because of the Divine Sacraments. It's the sacrament of confession specially. GOD GAVE HIS PRIESTS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS IN THE NAME OF THE BLESSED TRINITY. THE PASTORS IN THE OTHER CHURCH DO NOT HAVE THIS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE DIVINE SACRAMENTS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD ONE FAITH ONE CHURCH . Keep up the good work read the books of Heaven a the MYSTICAL City of God both given to the Holy Catholic church by our Blessed Mother.
@@charlesvandenburgh7008 If people go to confession without being repentant, and having the full intention of going on as they were, then their confession was null and void.
@@jamesr2408 I suggest you also read church history and find why people call it ROMAN Catholicism. Mind you, there are other groups in the Catholic Church, not just the one you call "Roman", and which you have plenty of misconceptions of ^^.
(You can get an 'A' in church history too if you do research ^_^)
@@jamesr2408 Hi, here's the answer to that

And also, I don't wan't to sound petty, so I'll stop. But I also suggest you to study geography.

God Bless, and please research before you slander us Catholics and the Church with misconceptions. That's just not Christian.
@William Cloud Right on, Brother! What are all these Catholics going to do when the nations turn on religion and the Catholic Church is destroyed? Then the Holy Spirit will definitely be acting on the Church.
@William Cloud The Whore of Babylon is Pagan Rome or Apostate Jerusalem, not the Catholic Church. Of course if you only listen to anti-Catholic interpretations that's all you will hear.
Another brilliant upload Keith
Hi Keith Nester...I listened to this clip..awesome explanation to those who think we Catholics don't have the Holy Spirit...educate those who think less of the Catholics...they got to know they got to learn how we invoke the Holy Spirit...not with sensationalism...with respect and reverence....God bless you Keith keep going...God is going to bring through you many to the one true Church of Jesus Christ...you are called...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Some Gregorian chant in the background would be cool.
God bless you my brother in Christ.
Keith....you are a GIFT to the Catholic Church. You are helping us to open the eyes of non-Catholics. Showing and teaching non-Catholics about their misunderstandings, uninformed or judging ideas. God Bless you!
We had the Holly spirit when we have baptized 🙏🏻📿 and is with us if we do what God is asking us to do!! So is kind of us if we want to maintain the Holly Spirit on us. Thank you 🙏🏻 😊
thank you keith ,in this presentation you overpowered all other beliefs, how beautiful to be Catholic. we all love you
I am a convert.to.Catholicism
Via Charrismatic.Renewal. I
Have had.a sad messed up life and after brokenness.i spent a year in Jerusalem. I.researched various.churches, I.walked.to.the Church Holy Sepluchure daily. to pray to Jesus and get close to Him. I.researched many.churches and met many different Christians full.of.love. I finally.converted to Catholicism in New York. I know I now have embraced the fullness in my effort to get as.close to Jesus as I could. I am born again.and pray in tongues. From Australia.with love.
Tks brother for an amazing job u do God bless you
I actually had one evangelical pastor say to me, "Do you want to learn to speak in tongues?"
It took me aback I thought the Holy Spirit gives this gift only when necessary.
never allow any body to teach you any gift of the Holy spirit, that will be another spirit imparted to you.
I am sorry that alleged Christians are unkind to you.
In my country, Cameroon in Africa, people who speak in tongues practice it and nobody understands them. You don't practice, The Holy Spirit makes you and when you do, at least one person will understand you. So... I think what they do is not right According to the Law
Great video Keith! Thanks!🕊🙂
Am always pulled to watch your videos because of your fire and how conviction comes out on the excitement.
You go, Keith. The plethora of misinformation about AUTHENTIC, TRADITIONAL Catholicism defies my ability to express. I'm in my 70's. I grew up and have spent my life watching my wonderful (now rip parents) being slammed. I personally experience, ti the present day, on a routine basis, faith based discrimination. This is because of: ignorance, hostility, (largely "based on misinformation & disagreement.") And 3rd, in USA there are 3 protected groups anyone's free to attack with zero fear of any bv reprisal:
1. smokers,
2. fat people &
3. catholics.
I'm grateful you accepted God's grace for conversion. I pray for your charitable, informed and marvelous Evangelization. I pray for you daily. Yes, I'm in St Joseph's Battalion. Get Padre Mark to tell you about this movement. He's not allowed to speak publicly as he's under obedience to his superiors. Thank you, thank you, Keith. God have Mercy on us all.
France of Sacratomato in Communist California. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Multiple interpretations of the Bible guided by the Holy Spirit... Holy Spirit has “multiple personalities” 😁 never thought of it that way... just thought He was confused! Yes... the apostles received the Holy Spirit and we have as our leaders the direct line of successors of the apostles... only makes sense that the Catholic Church is the most spirit filled! Amen!
Blessed God for God forever.! Thank you for your for your love. You and your family are in my rosary prayers. Ave Maria💗
We are lucky to have you Keith
Thank you Keith you are really an inspiration to the Catholics esp the lukewarm who still in doubt with their faith. The Holy Spirit leads you every day to speak the truth. I truly believed as a Catholic that Holy Spirit is with us in our infant baptism since we're baptized by water and Holy Spirit anointed us.
Wonderful video We love brother Keith
Well said Keith I am truly admire your honesty keep up your awesome work
Keithe Nester you are fortune to Catholic church ..may God bless you
Also when the Conclave of Cardinals is about to elect the Pope they are praying tirelessly for the guidance of the Holy Spirit and before each voting session they sing or pray the Veni Creator Spiritus, thus we can say that the Pope is elected through the cardinals by the Holy Spirit.
Well said
thosecatholicmen.com/articles/the-holy-spirit-does-not-choose-the-pope/
@John Wilson The ultimate gift (and burden) of free will is there in the cardinals as well, and they're are also subject to influence of evil forces, that's why we should always pray for our pastors. Nevertheless, I admit that there were procedures and persons of questionable nature, yet I believe everyone who has ever officially occupied the papal throne was part of the divine plan.
David Ortiz Let’s be clear here: just because someone appears to be the pope doesn’t mean that he is the pope. In order for a man to be pope, he must meet the criteria for candidacy, and his election must be valid.
@David Ortiz Check this out:
ruclips.net/video/5Va6oM0g-Dg/видео.html
Also, do you know that Holy Mother Church acknowledges that she has had a few bad popes in the past? They died before fulfilling their intentions to teach error ex cathedra.
God bless you and your family Keith! Your preachings are very good to hear! Enhance my faith! Full of the Holy Spirit!!
Humbling yourself to the Blessed Mother is a sign that someone is filled with the Holy Spirit. Saint Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, who was filled with the Holy Spirit, sets a good example in Luke 1:41-43.
41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the child leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit
42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, " Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43 And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Just purchased your book. Looking forward to reading it. Jim
All evangelical churches were definitely inspired by a spirit but that spirit wasnt holy. If that was the case, they wouldnt be as divided as they are right now. Also people cant differentiate between emotions and a holy spiritual encounter. It makes sense once you figured out that evangelical churches are 80% music, 20% preaching.
Angelica Amen. I can't agree more.
@David Ortiz couldnt have said it any better 👍
Not only is Jesus not a Polygamist, but neither is the Holy Spirit. He only guides ONE CHURCH.
R. Zell
As a very devout Catholic who has spent time in numerous other churches I would say that Protestant denominations are aware and influenced by the Holy Spirit but the Catholic Church is the one true universal church. I don’t think it would be right or fair to say that the protestants do not know the Holy Spirit, that is the opinion of a cradle Catholic who is very educated in protestant dominations… What say you?
@@Alexander-fr1kk You are WRONG.
ACTS 15, it states that Judaizing was false. The judaizers had a decision to make. They could either follow the the Ruling of the Apostles or be severed from the Church and start their own Church. But would that Church be guided by the Holy Spirit.
Think about that.
@@Alexander-fr1kk I would say God is Almighty thus the Holy Spirit is almighty, and absolutely free to choose to whom He is revealing Himself. Surely, Christ left us the Church as the path to salvation, and in an ideal case the Gospel and the Sacraments are enough. However, Jesus showed his wounds to apostle Thomas when he doubted, just like this the Holy Spirit has the freedom and wisdom to manifest in non-Catholics' lives.
Which works out well because there is only one Church anyway!
@@belakovacs7013 He has revealed himself to those in the Church found in scripture. We call that the Catholic Church
Love it , come Holy Spirit fill our hearts with love ..amen. Awsome sharing , God bless.
In Gospel of John 14:16 the Holy Spirit will be with the Apostles for ever. "For ever": Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors through all generations.
@David Ortiz Right, His Church the one He founded on the apostle Simon Cepus aka Simon Peter aka Saint Peter. Whose bones are in Rome. That Church...
Catholic Church has many devotional prayers to God the Holy Spirit .
I just had an experience with the Holy Spirit. On Saturday evening, I served as a Lector at Mass for my first time since doing it at school Masses as a student 15 years ago. I was very nervous going into it as it can be very nerve-wracking to be standing in front of the congregation to read the Word of God to the congregation. I was the second reader, so, as the last verse of the Psalm was being sung, I said a short prayer. As I was beginning to read, I felt a warm feeling rush over me like a tidal wave and felt a sense of calmness. I was still a bit nervous, but I felt much calmer. I then felt as though I went into autopilot as I was reading as though the Holy Spirit just took over what I was doing. It turned out that I did a very good job for my first time. Needless to say, I felt the Holy Spirit take over and calm me down while I was reading the Word to the congregation. It was truly special.
Thank you Mr. Keith for this video. Please pray for me. I wasn’t a believer in Christ until the age of 17. My family is Assemblies of God and I am assemblies of God currently and have been since I became a follower of Christ until now at the age of 21. I saw one of your videos in my recommended and watched your conversion story and i have been really looking into the Catholic Church more and more. There are things I still struggle with that my friends and family around me tell me like “They pray to Mary and the saints but Jesus is the only mediator” or “They call priests fathers it there is only one father” but at the same time the A lot of Protestant denominations call people “Fathers in the faith” which to me seems like the same thing. I’ve also watched a couple of Fr. Mike’s videos and I’m scared to even been seen or heard talking about the Catholic Church or watching anything in regards to Catholicism with my family or people around me. Please pray that if this is where the Lord is leading me that he guide me because I know he can make a way for me to find the truth it’s just hard sometimes. Thank you brothers and sisters!! God bless all of you.
Carlies Smith
Will be praying for you Carlies.
Yes i will, im in the same boat😊!
I loved how you leaned forward. In the name of the Father, the Sun, and the HOLY SPIRIT.
I haven't experienced the Holy Spirit but the Holy Eucharist is ALL I need.
@@Wgaither1 Actually it may have happened before. Therese Neumann was a German lady who died in 1962, and she claimed for long stretches (like decades) to only consume the Eucharist. The Church didn't believe her and assigned an order of religious sisters to watch her around the clock for a couple weeks, which they did - and at least during that time, she didn't eat anything else. She also claimed stigmata.
The holy spirit and the father are also present equally in the eucharist. You cant separate god from himself!
Then you probably have encountered Him 😊 It is him (The Holy Spirit) who convicts you to accept the Eucharist as the True body of Christ
And what about transubstantiation? Does not the priest call upon God to send down his holy spirit upon the Bread and Wine so that it will be changed into the body and blood of our blessed Lord? Just as the Holy Spirit overshadowed the Blessed Mother and Jesus became flesh and blood in her womb! Now, that is a special gift that the Catholics have that no other religion has from the Holy Spirit!
-That's cannibalism.
Isn't pope Francis a special gift to the RCC from above ??? lol
@@fabiotuan5206 I don't believe that God gave us Pope Frances and honestly I don't believe too many Catholics would disagree with me! But you see, Satan wants more than anything to destroy the Catholic Church because really even if I wasn't a Catholic, I would have to admit that it is the church is that the apostles started! It is in Scripture, the word of God is true!!

Catholic church is a spiritual house of bondage and suppression
@David Ortiz I don't think you understood me. The Catholic church is still standing and still operating although Satan is trying his best to bring it down and it looks very shaky however, things will change!! God very soon is going to say,ENOUGH!! it's happening already there are good Cardinals out there and many faithful Catholics that are bringing about change!!! We are beginning to clean out the swamp and we are lead by the Holy Spirit who is the purifier, and the sanctifier!! You will see!! When Jesus said the Gates of Hell will not Prevail against it that was a sure indication that they were going to try and that's what has been happening 4 God knows how long! But it's still here and it's not going anywhere especially with Satan!!!
bravo brotha!
Yes Rachal you right .It should be said before the Holy Rosary and other prayers .And thank you Keith ,as usual very well explained .Love to see your videos and hear you talk .Peace to you and your family .
Once again Keith, you've hit the nail on the head. YOU, have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides you to all Truth.
I am Catholic and I've experienced the Holy Spirit many times already.. 😊 And I believe the Holy Spirit is always with me.. 💕You'll know when you have a happy heart and being grateful to everything that is happening to your life.. 😊😊
GOD BLESS you KEITH NESTER, I am a cradle Catholic, 12 years of Catholic School, so interesting to hear someone who converted to Catholic. WOW. How Blessed to be born into The Church. The SCRAMENTS just a given as I went through my Catholic Faith. . How gifted was I. Thank You 🙏 Jesus. Amen
Great video as usual! Can't wait for more. Thanks Kieth.
Baptist to Catholic convert. It’s true. The Sacraments cleanse you so you can better hear His voice and if you cooperate, you will grow in Holiness and your prayer life is INSANE. Every other church is just talk and tricks in my experience.
Tq Keith. God bless you and your family
🔥♥️ Lord, breathe the fire of the Holy Spirit into my heart. ♥️🔥
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may be abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

Breathe into me O Holy Spirit,
that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit,
that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit,
that I love only what is holy.
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit,
to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
that I may always be holy.
- St. Augustine
Powerful witness Keith. Thank you!
May God and his mother, the King and Queen of Heaven and the Universe continue to lead, bless and keep you and your family Keith.
I love praying to the Holy Spirit. During mass at the consecration part, I find myself doing the gift of tongues. ❤️
During healing masses people also gets slained by the Holy Spirit. 😊
It was once said that Mahatma Gandhi, when asked why isnt he interested in the Christian Faith, responded (not exact quote):
"I dont reject your Christ, I love your Christ! It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Keep it coming Keith =)
And the voice said, "Saul, Saul Why do you persecute me", Saul said "who are you Lord?" The voice then said, "I am Jesus Christ, whom you persecute." Acts 9:4-5.
So whoever rejects or hates a Christian, hates Jesus Christ. Some are hypocrites just giving excuses for not completely accepting Christ.
@@cliffordfaria4412 NOT all Christians are Christ like.
Been reading the kindle version of your convert book. Good advice. I see some potential pit falls I could have made but now will avoid.
So happy to hear this! Thanks for telling me.
If the Catholic Church is infallible it should be possible to show continuity in history, yet councils seems to evolve over time. Many Catholics seem upset over Vatican II, but that council is infallible and athorative as much as any other council!
Thanks Keith for the message/pep talk!
May the Holly Spirit be with us all.🙏
Blessed be God forever💗
Spot on. Thank you. God bless.
It sounds like a holy wrath... I understand you: How can people consider that they have the HS and speak so arrogantly? There are people who just wish to dispute, not to dialogue: you know already that they will not listen. I love what you say: the important thing is not to have the HS, but that the HS has us. The mission of the Pastors in the Church is first of all discernment: the HS enlightens the whole Church, guiding her to the whole truth, but there are many spirits... The mission of the Pastors of the Church is to discern if the spirits comme from God or from the Devil. I would add that the most beautiful hymns and prayers to the HS comme precisely from the Catholic Church: the Veni Creator Spiritus, the Veni Sancte Spiritus... The saints are the greatest inspired and moved ones by the HS, just look at St. John Bosco, whose feast we just celebrated, all the prophecies he received... St. Dominique (XIIc.) received the gift of tongues in order to preach in german to a group of german pilgrims. Other saints who had the gift of tongues long before the modern charismatic movement were: Saint Norbert (XIIc.), Saint Anthony of Padua (XIIIc.), Saint Vincent Ferrer (XIVc.), Saint Bernardin of Siena (XVc.), Saint Francis Xavier (XVIc), Saint Paul of the Cross (XVIIIc.), and short before the 2nd Vatican Council the mystic and stigmatised Theresa Neumann... Pope Leo XIII, under the impulsion of Blessed Helen Guerra, the apostol of the HS, wrote already in 1895 and 1897 two important documents promoting in the Church devotion (the novena to the HS) and knowledge of the HS (Divinum Illud Munus Enciclical) and sang the Veni Creator in the eve of the 20st century, consecrating it to the HS, and that very day started the charismatic movement in USA...
Right on point Keith
I'm glad I came across this video because it touches on something I realized right away after returning to the church. Prior to coming home, I bounced around some protestant churches, looking for something. I used to tell pastors who would ask that I wasn't sure what the right church looked like but I'd know it when I found it. What I did know was that I didn't want any part of a dogmatic ritualistic faith like Catholicism.
Anyway, after being disillusioned for the fourth time or so I decided to give the Catholics another try after a 45 year absence and right away it just felt right. A big part of it was the structure, the thing I said I wanted no part of. I never felt comfortable in any other church and I couldn't put my finger on it until I came home. The other churches I had tried seemed to be operating in an ad-hoc fashion, almost like they were making it up as they went along. Perhaps it was because I was attending nondenominational churches with no real tradition, but it didn't dawn on me until I attended Mass. I rediscovered the beauty of the Catholic Mass. I thought it was just me but seeing this video lets me know I'm not the only one who picked up on that. You better believe we have The Holy Spirit in us, He is the one who led me home. Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter.
Sober intoxication of the Holy Spirit! I finally read through the catechism with the 365 days version from USCCB. Really good! Very detailed, but all necessary. It challenged me in topics that I haven't put into practice in faith. Being Catholic means not picking and choosing but believing and living the whole thing. Baptism of the Holy Spirit is what I'm trying to understand better. Because like you quoted from 1 Cor, the Holy Spirit is dynamic but is also orderly.
Keith That was a great talk. You'll know them by there love. Jesus loved even his enemies. I pray we can all love one another and are differences.
I am very happy and thankful to the Holy Spirit for you, watching your passion for catholic faith is such a pleasure for me and encouragement to love it even more.
I pray very often the golden sequenz - Veni Sancte Spiritus, which is for me one of the most powerful prayers.
Thank you! 🌷
Well done!
The background music is very distracting and makes concentration on what you are saying difficult.
I like it. I use music when I exercise my body so using music while I excercise my mind makes sense to me.
I was hoping that maybe Keith was going to say something about the reasoning for using the music bed for this video. I thought maybe he would say, "the reason why I used a music bed in this video was because I wanted it to play a track that was symbolic of the Holy Spirit and how it is was in the early church and remained constant in the video just like the gift of the Holy Spirit was at Pentacost and continues to be present in the One Holy Catholic and Apostalic Church, today.
Love this, well said, I have heard people talking in tongues, don't make much sense, but the scriptures teaches that there must an interpreter when speaking in tongues, so who says it is the holy spirit presence when speaking in tongues is happening? As a Catholic I can say my own encounter of being in the presence of being Holy Spirit is it goes deep into the souls, and that feeling is beyond anything else.
As a catholic we must always meek and humble at heart like Jesus.
Talk about a timely message for me! I just spoke on the phone with my uncle Saturday and he is very against my conversion to Catholicism. One of the things he said was “Well, what I know about is feeling the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and I don’t think they have that.” Ugh. There was more to the conversation and I hung up just feeling kinda down. I invited him to my confirmation that is coming up and he doesn’t want to come. I told him that was cool. I understood. My dad (his little brother) died a few years ago and so he has stepped in some, in a way, in kind of a dad role. He never had children of his own. I am trying not to let it hurt my feelings. He’s in his 70’s and set in his ways. But, sometimes it breaks my heart a little that so many misunderstand our Catholic Faith so much. I very much wish they could see the beauty of it. I wish they could understand what it’s like to know Jesus is present in the Eucharist. I wish they could understand the authority of the Church. But, all I can do is pray for them and hope they see some of that beauty in me. I answer questions if asked but, I don’t push teaching on them. Anyway, it’s nice to share this with people who understand. God bless you!
Thank you for this Keith, your explanation is clear and helpful. I've wondered whether I have the gifts of the Holy Spirit I feel as though I am a work in progress and that slowly but surely I am being helped by God in the trinity including the Holy Spirit to become more Christ like and whilst I don't have all the gifts of the Holy Spirit yet I have progressed x
1 minute in and I LOVE it!😇
Hi Keith, God bless you. Here a prayer to the Holy Spirit: Oh Holy Spirit, love of the Father and the Son. Always inspire me, what I should think. What should I say, how should I say it. What should I shut up, how should I act. What I must do for the glory of God, good of souls and my own sanctification. Holy Spirit, give me sharpness to understand, ability to retain method and ability to learn. Subtlety to interpret. Grace and efficiency to speak.
Give me success at the beginning, direction to progress and perfection at the end. Amen
Beautiful!!!! May the Holy Spirit always be in your heart!
Thank you Keith Nester 🌿💕
We fly soon!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Keith, you are an awesome teacher of the faith...and 'down to Earth' to the core! You kind of remind me of St. John Bosco, after reading about 10 books by and about him. Like other Saints before him (i.e. Saint Francis, St. Patrick, St. Philip Neri, etc...) St. John Bosco was very friendly, direct and social and in his living, teaching and preaching during his day. And, the funny thing about him, is that even his companion priests in 1800's Turin, Italy...were often his persecutors, not really understanding him well, and even going so far as to try to have him sent to an insane asylum when he was a young priest. Yet, he accomplished very great things for God and the True Faith and the religious order he started (The Salesians) is now the 3rd largest in the Catholic Church.
So, keep up the great videos! Your teaching style is a 'breath of fresh air'...and obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit in our modern RUclips and internet era of Christian evangelization!
I'm catholic and I have heard people speaking in languages.
This happened when my dad took us to meet the Father Emiliano Tardiff.
I saw people healed miracoulously.
The first gift of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues. It is YOUR SPIRIT TALKING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. Sometimes the LORD translates it for you, to edify you or His church. The devil cannot intercede this language. THIS is why you need it - your direct connection to GOD.
GOD'S people believe that He is the LORD our GOD.
GOD'S children KNOW the LORD our GOD.
Jesus IS the Messiah. All the world is KNOWING Him. Those who do not believe are still lost. HE has healed me of so many things and taught me so much!
I was Catholic when I met Jesus in 1986. There is none like Him. Leave man made churches and find a Holy Spirit led church, so GOD can lead His people. You will never know what you have been missing until you find Jesus. #JesusMyBFFandE #HeavenOnEarth is wonderful!!!
This is because Jesus made the first church. All others were made by men; religious leaders and politicians - because people kept moving around and the kingdom needed their tax money. THAT is the ONLY reason they sound so familiar BUT CONTRADICT what the scriptures actually say...
- Saturday is the Sabbath Day. How many churches and their people broke the Fourth Commandment?
- Dedicate your children. Babies cannot repent and chose to be baptized. GOD gave each of us Free Will, and ways to find Him. NOW, imagine all of these people who THINK that they are saved from Hell, and never bear 'the good fruit' of the Bible. Most of them have never chosen to enter into a covenant with GOD. #JesusMyBFFandE
- The Tax Exempt 501c3 stops churches from speaking against political wrong-doings.
GOD says to COME OUT OF HER. Otherwise, you will bear the same judgement that He has for these evil rulers and the masses who have chosen to believe a lie(s).
Trust GOD - NOT man or man's churches which contradict the Living Word of GOD, in which we know to be The Truth.
Repent and be saved. For when the antichrist does come and offer the perfect solution to the world's problems, the NEPHILIM will be free to do AS THEY PLEASE... and they HATE all of GOD's creation, and we are His most cherished creation!
I bet MOST pastors and priests don't teach that the Nephilim are demons manifested into flesh, and that is why the LORD flooded the whole earth to rid them and the evil that spread into man had made them into Hitler-like beings. Look at our world now! Here they come again. KNOW history!!
READ YOUR BIBLE!!!
It is scripture that evil does not simply exist. Evil comes from the Evil One. So, if evil wasn't destroyed, then neither were the demons. Since the demons weren't destroyed, then neither were the Nephilim. So, where are they? The Bible says that they were giants. But, if demons can manifest in the flesh, then can they manifest into any shape and size? Also, why does almost every country have military bases in the Arctic where they work underground? And, where no regular airlines fly to/from the Arctic. It really doesn't matter how they justify it. There are only so many people there!!
GOD is Love and His children become Love by the help of HIS Holy Spirit we are made One Unified Loving Family of GOD, as Jesus our Savior died on the cross FOR ALL OUR SINS, to reconcile us to GOD, our Loving Heavenly Father who gives us freely all the solutions that we will ever need. Choose to be a child of THE LORD of all creation! #PrayForIt #YeshuaForever #GODisFORus!! #JesusANSWERS #JesusHEALS #JesusPROTECTS #JesusPROVIDES #JesusTEACHES #JesusSAVES us over and over again from the evil one. I know. The LORD showed me the MANY times that He had saved me from dying, because I had asked Him about it.
IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THIS THEN ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU THE TRUTH. ASK ADAMANTLY. PRAY UNCEASINGLY. THEN, GOD WILL TEACH YOU MANY THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW AND GIVE YOUR SOUL WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE ONLY FEARFUL TO GOD AND HE WILL RAISE UP YOUR BOLDNESS TO NEW LEVELS THAT YOU HAD NEVER EVEN THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE, ALL WHILE GIVING YOU GIFTS THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU NEEDED TO STAY SUSTAINED IN THIS WORLD AND UNITING US AS GOD'S PEOPLE - OUR HEAVENLY FAMILY GROWS. #TheGreatAwakening is about The Truth, and it is GOD's doing!
Psalms 37:9... For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Psalms 123:2... Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
Isaiah 8:17... And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Isaiah 40:31... But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
How is your waiting for the LORD going for your life so far? Are you in GOD's good grace, or do you just hope that you are? I'm tell you that if any are lacking, then seek the LORD's face for answers. Read and study your Bible, and give the LORD time to answer while you ponder at His feet. I pray that you are blessed beyond the joy that you know now. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. Because, there is NONE like Him.
SOME OF MY TESTIMONIES...
One night, after I had known Jesus for some months, as I laid in bed and was praising Him for all that He has done in this world and in my life before I fell asleep, the LORD repeated all of my prayers that I had ever said or thought to Him word-for-word and in order of my whole life's prayers. It was amazing! I asked Him what it meant, but He didn't reply. So, I told Him that I trusted Him and I knew that He would reveal to me what this meant. The next morning as my mother and I talked about this and other things, the LORD whispered to me I HAVE RENEWED YOUR MIND - and the evidence was that He had healed me from stuttering, mind wandering. I was instantly filled with His joy, and I laughed so hard that I think that I woke up everyone in the house!
Over a year later, while I was at a doctor's office when I was sick, he wanted to run a test on my thyroid. Upon returning for the test results, the doctor proceeded to write a prescription for Synthroid. I was praying inside myself while he was quiet. When the doctor said that I had to take this little pill everyday for the rest of my life, the LORD took over, and I laughed in the doctors face, shocking us both. It was a loud, bold laugh, and I laughed while facing him and our eyes were locked. Then the doctor finished writing and just left the room. When I got outside of the office, I asked the LORD, What was that all about? And the LORD replied, YOU WILL NOT TAKE ANY DAILY MEDICATION EVER. Again, I was filled with joy and I laughed and I thanked the LORD for His wonderful gift.
I could go on and on how the LORD our GOD has blessed me/us. I pray that you will go straight to the source and ASK GOD, who made you. Mr. Nester has been indoctrinated: Though he understands many things about the Holy Spirit (love, humility and sharing the gospel is GOOD, BUT he lacks the actual knowledge of KNOWING the Holy Spirit. Pray that Mr. Nester meets the LORD's spirit so that he will make another more informed video - from actual knowledge. GOD loves His trophies! Mr. Nester NEEDS to be a trophy for GOD, just as Mr. Soros would make an excellent trophy. Can you imagine Soros making amends for what he knows is wrong? ALL have sinned. ALL have been duped by evil. Pray for one another, from family to enemies. Respect all life, from beginning to end. Do good always AND share the Good News of the gospel, that GOD dearly loves us, and He wants us safe. We need to be redeemed to be saved. And then, He changes us in our hearts, and then we see our lives change - all for the better... and we are so glad to know the LORD. and to know that our Heavenly Family Grows.
I have seen His glory! I have been shown so many wonderful things! HE wants to fill us with His glory, which is the essence of who He is. Seek Him. Trust Him. Be blessed on purpose!
Great video Keith!
God bless you Keith thanks for what you do I love what you say. Amen 🙏
Amen also line up how, Fulton Sheen explain the Holy Spirit GB
I just want to thank you! Great job to share the truth about our believe, The only Chruch created by Jesús/ God savor
Oustanding video! I know ladies who speak in tongues and say they hear from the holy spirit all the time and see things in the spirit. Prophesying things that never come to pass. Saying the holy spirit gave them a revelation about someone or a situation that was way off. It strikes me as emotionalism and a desire to really believe what you want to believe more than anything else.
Can other churches even have the Holy Spirit if they don’t have the approved sacraments or priesthood? If they can have the Holy Spirit, don’t they have as much eternal life as anyone?
No church can dispense the gift of the Holy Spirit:
Ephesians 1:13-14 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
