Yes, yes yes. It is called idolatry! Many churches/cults have controlling corrupt leaders who are power obsessed, think too highly of themselves and don't want accountability. The people fall into the sin of basically worshipping them and rationalizing their behavior or helping to cover up their sins. I've been in these types of churches and I was seen as the bad one for noticing something was wrong. I left when God showed me what was going on. Thank you for sharing. I think this will help a lot of people who may be going through the same thing; looking to grow in Jesus Christ, but are being distracted from and pushed far from Him because they may be sitting under this kind of leadership.
My Chinese GF is under the control of her pastor. They practice "spiritual covering" a terrible practice. She also works for her spiritual cover and is a loyal follower. He told her not to come to the Us to be with me. That he was not in support of our relationship. It's like a cult. Most pastors in China do Not have a theology degree. Since a large portion of the congregation is female I've heard from a pastor that there are Chinese church's were the pastors have there own harems. I don't think that is happening at her church ,but he is using her for personal gain. At my expense. He may have cost me a marriage. My only defense is fervent prayer. That Jesus will take care of this situation. Thank you for this video and the ones on false prophets. God bless brother.
He does not have a theology degree and was a former businessman. I wish getting her away from him was that simple. One week before she was to come to the US to me she canceled her flight. I'm trusting God will work it all out. I forgive him for what he has done. "Though I'm in the valley yet will I praise Him!"
Jojo Jo "spiritual covering" came out of the 70's and 80's. It's kind of like the catholic thing. Where you go to a pastor or elder as your spiritual cover. Instead of Jesus. He gives you guidance in the place of Jesus. It's largely been abandoned here but in Asia and Latin America they still do this. It's ripe for abuse. Some tell people who to marry. It can get even worse. Another problem is what happens if God tells the person something different than the pastor.People under "SC" will usually accept the pastors will instead of God's will. They have complete control over them. Very much like a cult. They tell them that these "pastors" are apostles. Please pray that the Lord will uncover her eyes and see the truth. My only defense is prayer. Also he is not a Chinese national,so him being asked to leave is a real possibility. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 1 Tim 2:5
So so true brother! Yeah especially that financial one is so common. How can someone who can’t speak openly about finances and be accountable in a ministry be trusted to minister to the broken hearted and sometimes members who may be needy for whatever reasons, the orphans or homeless! Greed is the reason why the evil leader doesn’t wanna use those resources to help others , but will shout a big hallelujah and preach the prosperity gospel so that his or her bank accounts have accumulated wealth, so sad 😞
This kind of leader mostly present in mega church. The church that i left 2 months ago has a preacher just said this during the sermon, quote:" you ppl enjoy the church, nice cool aircon, but you dont pay the tithe". Glad one of the church member was making complaint on that church facebook.
WOW Mark, i have experienced this first hand & i know the bits i can see as to why the pastor is this way. He casts judgement and puts guilt on the body, has gone on and on during 3 different sermons about folk who left the church , but never mentioned any names. And overkill on the good deeds and missions and an edge there that made me question God "is this what the people are like in Heaven?"...he did not want me there, i knew too much and so a few months there and most of them are judging me...i had just got out of my 4th trip to prison, i was so broken and God completely healed all my mind issues but i needed to bring forth extreme humility & understanding in prayer for Him to do this. I was saved beyond saved and on fire. He didn't like that at all. So here is what God has shown me and He wants me to go and "flip tables" down there. This pastor is holding something back from Holy Spirit, and so he is still only tasting holy spirit...God sent Holy Spirit in trust of his repentant heart and confessions to Him, but he has been waffling on one of them. He uses scripture to keep the body of believers in check...as long as they feel guilty too, then he won't feel as guilty or feel as if he is justified...it is wicked brother. This is #1 reason why adding the proper goodness to our faith must happen b4 adding the knowledge. He controls the body with judgement & No one outside the church likes him. Your knowledge is respctable brother. Jesus visited me 3-21-2019 and i will be doing many videos in exposing man in the church today, to encourage listening to that conviction everyone gets, bcuz many are blaspheme holy spirit. Luke 13:6-9 is where He left me, so I am getting soil (Gods grace) worked and fertilized...I SEE MANY THINGS VERY VERY CLEARLY...be a few days yet b4 i start doing videos...amen...praise God...love your videos...you are my brother
This was good to know. I am glad that I am not following any leader but there are so many of them in the world. These false teachers need to be exposed! We have to be careful.
It is true I was abused relationship that is what he puts in head that it was ok for the person calls you name don't leave he is going change satin liar and scheme thank very brother great message God bless you.
God bless you brother totally on point. You know when you accept the Holy Spirit to come into your life you will become a carrier of God's peace and his light. You will know exactly the defeated enemies spirit coz you feel troubled and uncomfortable. God will always guides us no weapon that is form against shall prosper amen Hallelujah
So timely... i love you... he doesn’t love you because he’s trying to get you to sin... you don’t need to be that woman anymore! That isn’t who you really are!! Edit: I get this is about leaders, and I do rebuke my Pastors. I asked for financial transparency as I was prepared to give size able donations.
Truth 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍!! Bam!! The part you mentioned about stuff being covered up/ swept under the table so to speak--yep 🔥🔥. I really appreciate transparency brought to the surface/ done respectfully regarding this subject matter because it's serious?!! Just like the pastors will be held accountable for what they did & didn't do before the Lord, I believe we will too if we saw something that was clearly inappropriate and didn't address it accordingly? I mean, we shouldn't go around bashing/ gossiping about our leaders because naturally, that's counter productive and above all, grievous to the Lord. But, if it's something that is clearly a hindrance to the flock and you know, and stay shut 🤷♀️? I believe we need to be accountable on some level for each other as believers. Looking out for one another---"Love they neighbor as thyself". Loving one another calls for "tough" love at times, even if it means, yeah, approaching a leader about some real shady business that affects other believers. My opinion...
WOW WOW.THANK U MARK ,THEM WHERE THINGS I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT.I SO APPRECIATE YOU ALWAYS USING THE BIBLE SCRIPTURES. YOUR VIDEOS ARE ,HELPFUL AND COMFORTING.GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY AMEN 🙏❤🕊
Thank you for posting. This also helps those stepping into and who are called into leadership to keep satan out of their leadership and to please God with their leadership. Even though I am not evil, I have definitely mistepped with my leadership. Also my name is Michael I just haven't changed the email attached to my RUclips account lol. This is such an important word, and will help protect the body of Christ, and godly leaders from mishandling their annointing Thanks again brother, and read Daniel 12. You may have already heard of what's going on with me. The glory goes to God, and I'm extremely thankful for his mercy and grace. God wants me to acknowledge you and how dead on and pleasing to him this word was, and I'm grateful for it. Praise the Lord! You could have easily been disobedient and withheld it, so I'm glad you're not a man who would. I've kind of been thrust into leadership and I need leadership in regards to leadership that pleases God and is not a trespass in anyway nor in enmity in any way with God. I know I need to just truly get to know the word better and let God take the world out of me and to work more through the holy spirit and not from my own hurts and frustrations with world and that people have been wrongfully made my enemies, and who I mistakenly made my enemies by to aggressively doing what I thought was fighting for Jesus without knowing the word.
I’ve met and know some people like that,I always make sure to keep my distance,As always I love your life lesson in the Bible and the timing of your videos are so awesome 😎
You guys have to start eating healthy, ditch sodas, not masterbuate anymore, no more fantasizing(a big one youl see), fast, exercise, and inspire others and help others. God rewards good people. Bless all :) with the best.
Father God please forgive me for all my sins and my wrongs i just want to do right and to change my wrongs into right's i ask for repentance and forgiveness i need healing and blessings
Wow! God reveals false leaders. It is His kingdom so God cares in a loving way. Financial transparency is one way. One more way to discern is that false leaders love to manipulate the crowd to worship themselves, not God. Christ-like leaders perform miracles to heal the sick, uplift the poor, preach repentance and faith to sinners....
Is it bad if the church says gift 10% of your income for 3 months and see what The lord Will do in your life and if nothing happens the money will be returned full.? Thanks brother. Love your channel. 🙏❤️
That does sound odd. We should tithe to help support the local church advance the kingdom locally and abroad, not to get more financial blessings in return
1:15 mmm...that speaks to my life. People actually believe this and some people in my life have made me out to be rebellious bc I refuse to accept bad mouthing as an act of love.
Can a leader also apply to a bad husband? Sometimes I will hear the scripture in my head "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. -Proverbs 29:2" when he was beign abusive.
It's scary for me because a long time ago God gave me a big responsibility and I told Him I couldn't handle it (I should trust Him to give me the strength to handle it, big mistake). It got confirmed through others later on that I have the gift to teach, but I didn't study when I was younger because I was trying to run from my calling. Is there a difference between being called to leadership and having the gift of teaching? I keep getting reassured by people that "God is going to use you" but doesn't God also use unbelievers and disobedient Christians for His will anyway? I'm on the cusp of important decisions and I keep messing up, but I keep trying to seek God about it, lots of the time I'm not getting clear answers. I don't want to jump into something too soon, but at the same time I feel as if I'm missing a huge opportunity by not taking a risk. I don't want to let people down and hurt people but I feel like that's kind of inevitable. Of course I should persist in prayer and seeking God and being very accountable and aware of my sins, Do you have any other advice for someone that has felt the call to leadership but doesn't feel ready, or may not be ready yet?
As much as I want to lead people to Christ. I do not think being a priest or a pastor is for me and I want a wife and kids too. When I pray, I tell God his will not mine be done just to lead me the way. I am washed by the blood of Christ.... What ever my purpose is, i just want people to have Christ. All Glory to God. Amen.
God is great he will stay calm for some while. But after some time he will remove that leader. Often when the weak followers learned and become stronger. And if u say iam doing rhat in the name of the lord he will not take long to punish u if u play games
Walk with Jesus Jesus is the only person I Trust I think "What would Jesus Christ do?" Or "Is this something I couldn't do in heaven." I am just severely depressed I am constantly attacked by the immature/ignorant/and evil Where Love is not their foundation I understand I need to forgive because it is Satan who is attacking me I think it's just sad looking at reality and how slowly things are and will get worse (How whatever you believe, that there will be people not repentant) It's a system designed for self-destruction And I have no means of a long term solution All I can do is pray
Yes our lives are orchestrated by Satan, you will know that if you love Christ. After all he is the God of this world, stay TRUE💏🙌👆🙏, example I'm doing a crossword puzzle and every word i was ticking off either happened today or yesterday. THAT'S AMAZING
The aspect of God blessing people is correct, but "God wants you rich" is a bit suspect. Mark has said in other videos we are blessed so we can bless others, and he who is faithful in little will be given much. I still have more to learn about this, it was easier to help people when it wasn't my money anyway.
Thanks and bless you for your quick response. The video the pastor posted was of someone explaining, to the extent we receive material things in order to give back and help others, the prosperity gospel is acceptable, which seems to be in line with what you're saying. Personally, I'd just as soon steer clear of the whole thing. There just seems to be too many things wrong with this gospel, and so many false teachers/prophets profiting by misleading their flock.
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger okay Thank you sir for your kind attention , pls help Me in my faith to understand. As i know His message is pure and sanctified, so probably any images associated with his message should be pure Sorry if I'm wrong I'm learning
NBA FAN, I’ve been praying and asking my church family to pray for us because I don’t want to divorce him, but it’s been hard feeling like I’m married to Satan (again), and I just want my husband back. So, to all my prayer warriors, if you are reading this, please say a prayer for Jen and Brian because we can definitely use some of God’s help in restoring our love for one another....thank you and I super appreciate all of God’s children in our world 🙏❤️
come out of her my people so you do not share in her sins and recieve of her plagues. Follow your Messiah, His name is the word, when you sit with the Father, your reading His word and clinging to your heavenly Father. give Yahuah your full attention, atleast as much as you spend in the church. t he origin of the word church is circe, means goddess daughter of helios the god of the underworld. so the church is the daughter of Satan. forsake all, and repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ask Yahuah to show you who you are, ask him to judge you now. get rid of your idols,
I'm asking God to take everything away what is not from him, though I know it will hurt a while.
Amen!
That is a prayer that will definitely get answered and you're right, it is very difficult! God bless you!!
Very very difficult
AMEN to that..

God is great he will stay calm for some while. But after some time he will remove that leader. Often when the weak followers learned and become stronger. And if u say iam doing rhat in the name of the lord he will not take long to punish u if u play games
🙏🙇🙏.
My boss
God bless
I don't understand this title,
Satan trying to protect us??
No, he tries to conceal evil leaders so we don't detect them
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Thank You Very Much, may God Bless you, and give you strength in your personal walk with Him.

I didn't interpret
"Satan Is Trying To Protect . . ."
title the wrong way.
Walk with Jesus
Jesus is the only person I Trust
I think
"What would Jesus Christ do?"
Or
"Is this something I couldn't do in heaven."
I am just severely depressed
I am constantly attacked by the immature/ignorant/and evil
Where Love is not their foundation
I understand I need to forgive because it is Satan who is attacking me
I think it's just sad looking at reality and how slowly things are and will get worse
(How whatever you believe, that there will be people not repentant)
It's a system designed for self-destruction
And I have no means of a long term solution
All I can do is pray
That pretty much describes how Christian based cults originate. I was part of one for a while.
Yes our lives are orchestrated by Satan, you will know that if you love Christ. After all he is the God of this world, stay TRUE💏🙌👆🙏, example I'm doing a crossword puzzle and every word i was ticking off either happened today or yesterday. THAT'S AMAZING
A former pastor says there are aspects of the prosperity gospel which may be good Christian teaching. Is this true, or a false teaching?
The aspect of God blessing people is correct, but "God wants you rich" is a bit suspect.
Mark has said in other videos we are blessed so we can bless others, and he who is faithful in little will be given much.
I still have more to learn about this, it was easier to help people when it wasn't my money anyway.
John Piper has some good info on the prosperity gospel
Thanks and bless you for your quick response.
The video the pastor posted was of someone explaining, to the extent we receive material things in order to give back and help others, the prosperity gospel is acceptable, which seems to be in line with what you're saying.
Personally, I'd just as soon steer clear of the whole thing. There just seems to be too many things wrong with this gospel, and so many false teachers/prophets profiting by misleading their flock.
Hey I need someone I can trust u real seem like so far
Reminds me of Benny Hinn
I can see that
Pls sir why do you put image of man's tatoos? Why pls?
It's just a picture . . . don't read into too much :)
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger okay Thank you sir for your kind attention , pls help Me in my faith to understand.
As i know His message is pure and sanctified, so probably any images associated with his message should be pure
Sorry if I'm wrong
I'm learning
I thought of IUIC and other Israelite camps
Sounds like my narc neighbors .
The Church and the White House need prayer... it's disappointing.
This sounds just like David E. Taylor from JMMI.
I’m so confused by this title. Read it 2 times and still confused
Satan protects his agents in leadership roles.... pastors,
It means Satan will try to conceal and hide evil leaders in your life so they will do damage to you but you won't detect it
Me too
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger @ Thanku I truly understand now🙏🏽
🤔 humm, " it must be because of those economist ? ....🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯" looks like that Hall of Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Church is getting a New Driveway "
I won’t lie, this sounds like it’s describing my husband.
NBA FAN, I’ve been praying and asking my church family to pray for us because I don’t want to divorce him, but it’s been hard feeling like I’m married to Satan (again), and I just want my husband back. So, to all my prayer warriors, if you are reading this, please say a prayer for Jen and Brian because we can definitely use some of God’s help in restoring our love for one another....thank you and I super appreciate all of God’s children in our world 🙏❤️
come out of her my people so you do not share in her sins and recieve of her plagues. Follow your Messiah, His name is the word, when you sit with the Father, your reading His word and clinging to your heavenly Father. give Yahuah your full attention, atleast as much as you spend in the church. t he origin of the word church is circe, means goddess daughter of helios the god of the underworld. so the church is the daughter of Satan. forsake all, and repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ask Yahuah to show you who you are, ask him to judge you now. get rid of your idols,
And your crazy is one of them,to manipulate
Hail Satan
