I was a huge Ray Boltz fan as a teen in the 90s. His music really ministered to me, and still does. I've enjoyed finding a lot of my old favorites here on RUclips. I can't help but read people's comments and it is always inevitable that someone will comment on Ray's current lifestyle (he came out as homosexual in 2008). It is interesting to me to read the different responses people give. Some say we should pray for his repentance, while others insist we shouldn't judge. Here is my take on it. As finite human beings, we can't judge what is going on in his heart and mind. Only he and God know. But we can hold up the standard of God's word. In both the Old and the New Testament, homosexuality is said to be a sin (Leviticus 18:22, I Corinthians 6:9-11). Jesus Himself said that marriage is for one man and and one woman for life (Matthew 19:4-6). I can't begin to imagine what it feels like to struggle with same-sex attraction, but I imagine it is similar to other types of sexual desires that can't be righteously fulfilled (such as being attracted to someone besides your spouse, or being single and having strong sexual desires). In any of these cases, God would ask us to do what Jesus said on Luke 9:23, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Homosexuality is such a buzzword these days. Let's remove it from the equation for a moment. Ray Boltz struggled with something that went against his own convictions for many years. He kept silent and tried to fight it himself. There was no accountability. Not even his wife knew about it. Finally, after years of struggling, he decided to change his beliefs based on his experience, rather than interpreting his experience through his beliefs. He completely indulged in this thing that went against his convictions, and broke his marriage vow. Is that right? To go against your convictions, not get accountability, and break your marriage vows? No! But because it involves homosexuality, everyone gets into "don't judge" mode (seriously, doesn't anyone know anything Jesus said besides "don't judge lest you be judged?" That's the most misused scripture there is!). My belief in the Bible's teaching on this would lead me to side with those who pray for Ray Boltz's repentance. He is our brother in Christ, and has been used mightily of God, as this song clearly reveals.
I was with you till the end where you call him a brother. I disagree, someone living openly in known sin (homosexuality) can not be called a brother in Christ. Living in sin, is living for self, Satan.
My heart was torn when Ray walked away from a loving family and ministry for a delusional and sinful lifestyle. Let's pray him back folks. No stone throwing, no condemnation. Conviction and love ❤
62 years old i am...married for almost 30 years. My wife oftens says that no one is too good to become bad and neither is someone too bad never to become good again. There is still a story of a prodgical son. The right to judge belongs only to God. Pray for those who falls by the wayside..believing for their recovery.
His song "MY ACHOR HOLDS" kept me going through the roughest of times including the loss of my dear nephew to COVID In 2021. Hold him fast dear God! You said you'd never leave us or forsake us!!
Nothing shall be impossible with God! Pray for Ray- he’s still in the battle. And God is able to make him stand when he’s ready to draw close to Him again.
Oh Lord you are mercyful and gracious, restore the soul of our brother from destruction. Lamb of God restore him back to yourself back to Calvary, back to heaven in Jesus name Amen
Beloved Brother Ray, mercy through the blood of the Risen Lamb will speak for you and your messages on christ will pull you back to him in Jesus name. I being Muslim came to the saving knowledge of the lord Jesus Christ and being delivered from hell, so shall you too beloved Brother Ray🙏🙏 We love you brother,the church of Christ loves you❤❤❤❤
For all have sinned & fall short... May Ray Boltz truly repent & return to GOD - He's been deceived like so many others. After 7 good years of marriage as best friends as well, My ex long ago did the same - it was so unexpected, crushing & painfully difficult go through, then to watch him let his life & more descend for 9 years. When diagnosed with lymphoma - he finally repented, asked for forgiveness from GOD, me and his mom, 1 month before his death. So glad our son, our 2 grandsons, his amazing mom & I'll see him in Heaven. HalleluYah!
No, is being true to himself. Is found his goodness now. Is more a friend of Christ now than when he was parroting things under a repressed self and he would still probably even to day pledge allegiance to the lamb and put his faith before his life. Would you reject him on that day? Claiming Lord Lord in your own righteousness. Answer this
@@therapeutichands767 There is never an excuse for sin. It doesn't matter how well you dress it up. If God calls it sin,so it is. Ours is not to condemn him but indeed to pray for him.
This song ministers to me every time I listen to it. It is sad to know that our Brother Ray went back, but there is hope so long as he is on this side of heaven. Almighty God, there is nothing that is impossible with you, I pray that you will remember Ray, have mercy upon him, heal him of his backsliding and bring him back to the household of faith. Father I pray that you will not let him die in his sins, in Jesus name I pray, Amen
We as Christians need to pray and seek his face to live our lives to trust in Jesus..he died on the cross to save us from sin. We pray that Ray Botz does come back and we pray for all to come to Jesus
RAY BOLTZ YOU SONG SUCH A SONG AND THE DEVIL SEEM THAT HE HAS WON BUT YOU WILL BE VICTORIOUS. GOD CAN AND WILL TURN YOUR SITUATION AROUND. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR
l pray for you in tears. You gave ministered to us and it is our time to minister to you. Surely our God will not abandon you and has heard our prayers for you. Be still and stay strong. The Lord, our game changer is in your situations to restore and make everything new. Take Courage, Brother, we love you.
I started listening to this song over 20 years ago. Upto date it still minsters to my spirit. So sad the brother Ray gave up on the lamb. But I know the lamb has not given up on Him. Dear Jesus darkness will never overcome light, you are light lord Jesus. Oh lord God have mercy and restore this brother for your name sake.
It's possible that in some way he was forced or cloned or somehow made to appear this way. If he is truly this way he can be delivered by the spirit and return instantly to normal.
Apostle Michael Orokpo teaching brought me here. This song was used to charge him up for ministry. The recent decisions of Mr. Ray Boltz are revealing the signs of the times. I'm sure there's still anointing here; and as long as he breath, Mr. Boltz still has hope. Sat, Oct 28, 2023🙏🏾
True! If you have pledged allegiance to the Lord Jesus - The Lamb, The Holy spirit will transform you in either a click or slow and gradual change. But one thing is sure: "The old has gone, the new has come".
I pray Ray Boltz & all who left the faith of Jesus & living in sin will repent & turn back to the faith of Jesus & live holy lives. Keep us who remain in Your faith always faithful Lord Jesus.
Timeless song! I pray that God will use this song to minister to Ray Boltz to come back to God. To reject this world and stand for Lord. I pledge allegiance to the Lamb!
I was shaken when I heard about Ray's sad story. The songs in his Album "The Concert of a Lifetime" were a rich source of encouragement to me as a young growing Christian. I listened to the songs repeatedly such that the lyrics were life to me. I did actually Pledge Allegiance to the LAMB and my Anchor holds firmly in Christ despite all the storms of life. I join to pray that Ray returns fully to Christ and finds complete redemption through His Blood. Amen
It's coming to this time! As a young girl I watched this song I was not a Christian then but I always desire to be. While listening to this song I made up mind of my choice . This song still minister to me todays date.
Welcome sister; this song was also an inspiration to me during childhood, and I am pleased to hear it has touched someone else the way it did me. This song always reminds me that throughout time (which is a concept our father has total control of,) many have accepted his promises including the right to ask and receive (including knowledge of his eternal kingdom).
I watched it as a child. I grew up in a godless family, heathen actually, but my one grandmother instilled revelations in me so hard. Her and her friend parlayed over me and I fell under the holy spirit for hours and had prophetic visions at 6. I have always been a prophet for the lord, but I strayed from him by 12 and just was baptized and born again at 34, he's now taking me into ministry and having me cast Devils from people. Thank God my grandmother was a ministering angel to me as a child. She passed on years and years and years ago, but this song will forever be in my heart. Thank God for bringing me back into the fold after 20 years as an occultist. I strayed far. Praise the LIVING MIGHTY GOD!
I have cherished this song for a significant period, dating back to my childhood. Now, as an adult, married with children, I truly comprehend its profound meaning. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite Gospel songs. The message embedded here is weighty! For those who grasp the depth of it, may the Good Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly. All glory and honor to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Ray Boltz is a gifted singer. As far as his private life is concerned, God gives everyone free will, He won't interfere with it, so why should we? All we should do as Christians is pray for him, and trust God. 🙏 My prayers go out to his wife....that God will give her the strength to make it through this.....God bless you dear lady,.....
I hope he return bk to the Lord..right now his eyes r clouded, he allowed the enemy to deceived him...let's kp him in our prayers. A man of this who God anointed and God blessed him to impacted millions. God created male and female check Genesis. He HV to rejects the world and embrace the cross. Its not SBT us its abt Christ. Satan is a liar those feeling are not real what he his feeling
Listening to the song for the first time,the year 2023.... learning he has now left the Lamb, I break the hold of strongman/stronghold over your desires and draw you back to himself.....Amen
I will never deny Jesus I pledge allegiance to the lamb I love you Jesus Christ for ever you are my god and my Lord and my Savior and my teacher my Savior
Ray Boltz was booked to sing at my church then he came out as gay. Showed up a few months later he was living out of his car look totally unKepted in in bad shape tryed to sink a few songs. Felt convicted being in a church and walked out. The pastor felt bad for him knowing what was going on took a collection for him.. someone brought it out to his car and tried to talk him into coming back in but he left. Later I read about what happened to Ray . Understood what has happened. I couldn't understand how someone who seemed sold out for the Lord singing good songs could go back to being gay.The pastor asked the congregation to keep praying for him.
The enemy fights us as believers every day but our desire for Jesus must remain strong. The enemy can only overcome us when our desires for Christ Jesus is gone. Let us pray that our hearts desire for Christ Jesus gets stronger each day. We lift our brother up in prayers, Lord let Ray's desire for you be stronger than before and that he comes back from his setback.
Wow! What an anointed nice worship song. I believe by the time the singer did this song, the Spirit of God was focusing us listeners towards allegiance to our Redeemer - Jesus Christ (the Messiah). It is unfortunate to learn that this wonderful talented voice opted for the sexual vice. It is a choice anyway, just like the way we choose salvation and obedience to the Holy Spirit. To me, this song is still so inspiring. We are called to repentance on a daily basis because we are weak in flesh. Even King David who had a heart after God slipped when he sighted Uliah's wife.. BUT he quickly realised and acknowledged his sin when the prophet visited him. He was remorseful and repented. The bible says that if we are truthful to ourselves, acknowledge our sins/sinful nature, repent and accept to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, our atonement.... then the Almighty God is justified to forgive us. Truthfully, we all need supplications to overcome sin and to pray for each other as Christians because temptations are all over us. The promise we have is that God will not let those temptations over run us. He says run away from sin. So it is a choice to forsake sin however sweet that sin may be. The bible clearly tells us that God is full of love BUT he despises sin ...and homosexuality is indicated therein specifically as a sin too. Let us stay focused on our coming LORD Jesus Christ and be vigilant with His instructions. Truly, we are living the end-times coming steadfastly. Our redemption is in the power of the cross and the precious blood shed by our LORD JESUS CHRIST. He loved us so much and desires that are crowned in Heaven rather than elsewhere. MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD CONTINUE HELPING US TO DISCERN THE SPIRITUAL PITFALLS, BY GOD'S GRACE. John:15.4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John:15.5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John:15.6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
My heart bleeds to know he has gone back to the world. Our prayers are strongly with him. Lord have mercy on him and make him realise his mistake and retrace his steps to the Lord soon in Jesus name Amen.
May that lamb find you again our beloved brother for as many souls being blessed listening to this song and praying for you and others struggling different immoralities,God is a good father if some day you land and this and see people's comments you will know that God loves the best despite our filthiness and stubbornness, blessings everyone reading this, Jesus Christ loves us dearly ❤
Father please let this precious soul find your mercy once again his songs has done a lot for your kingdom please you are God you cab do anything do this for me lord in Jesus name
Yes it’s my beloved in the Lord. but we are building our hopes on wishful thinking that it’s not it. God bless and keep you until we meet there beloved!
Heavenly Daddy, I pray for Ray Boltz. Thank You for the Ministry of Music he was anointed to Minister. Whatever happened that caused him to become heartsick and lose hope, I ask that You REKINDLE the seed, kindling, fire that You placed in him. Bathe him in Your Love, in Jesus Name. Amen 🙏🏻🤗❤️
You are so right! I was delivered from years of Child Abuse suffered when I was only 3 years old because my mother had died and dad had to have a house keeper, who was a Satanist, even though dad did not know it at the time. I was delivered from the cycle of coping, not coping event o the point of suicide. Jesus, only Jesus can deliver freedom to love Him first, last and always. He told me He would never leave me or forsake me.
@@aknightwithadifference1649 Through the grace of Jesus, through His love and His revelation to me, I am doing great! I knoww my King, I know His incredible
I too agree with you that this song is timeless. I first heard this song when my son was about two or three years old - now he's 25 years old and I'm still listening to it as if it's a new release, because of the message. We do not know how he got to that point in his life- it's sad and also unchristian. Rightly said let us pray for him that the merciful, loving, forgiving God would grant him mercy to return to the fold.
This song does not only bless but opens another spiritual dimension in the heavenly realm . Now we pray for Ray Bolts for the same anointing that he carried to be manifested back to his life by the blood of the Lamb , Nothing and absolutely nothing that goes out of the mouth of the Lord returns to him empty without accomplishing the purpose to which it was sent... for his right hand and his holy arm has given him victory , lets arise and sing a new song to the Lord psalms 98:1. Shalom❤
The prayer for commitment to Jesus Christ is to accept the finished work of the cross and live in the righteousness with which he has provided and choose always to be led by the spirit Whom he has given to every believer and we should live in and outside these bodies we have presently before Rapture.💯👪💕💪🔦❤️🧘👣🌲😀🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🙏🏼🙏🏻
I haven’t heard this song in decades and I’m glad I came across this video…thank You Lord! Brings back great memories of when I first saw this back in the 90’s ❤
Now We are back to the era where we have to choose between Christ and the world… what is right and wrong .. to uphold the truth from scriptural point of view or flow with the trend of time… May we stand for Truth to the end in Jesus Name Amen. Jesus loves U❤
is a very touching video...Those good Christians who were subjected to torture and death and yet refused to renounce our Lord Jesus....I say God bless them
I pledge allegiance to the lamb with all my strength with all i am i will seek to honour his command i pledge allegiance to to the lamb now the year of come the year of god year
Ray, America needs your ministry severely! I ask you please come back to God. You helped millions and we miss and love you. We are Praying for you!!! Sonya Rattz
I don't understand how a person who sang about the allegiance, courage and resilience of the early believers could not resist the pull of his own flesh which is obviously wrong and silently declare a non allegiance.
Awww my God pls and pls again and for the sake of the cross and the blood that atoned for him, please forgive him and redeem him again back to You again in Jesus mighty name Amen
This song has been so powerful throughout my whole life. Growing up I heard it every year at church camp, multiple times at youth conferences, revivals, church services and whatnot. His music has always had a huge impact on the Christian community.
@@battleborn1055Praying for you as well. Ray has left the lamb but l believe that the mercy of God will locate and the grace of God will restore him back to faith in Jesus name Amen
Remember Sodom, it seemed right to them but in the end fire and brimstone from Heaven consumed them. They were all destroyed, therefore remember and repent. Disobedience leads to destruction. We pray our brother's heart be broken like that of David the king of Israel. It is never too late until death.
Revelation: 6. 9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. - Bible Offline
That era is here again, where you must choose between your faith or joining the league of those that want to be politically correct. Those who stand for Jesus and talk about LGBTQ+, what happened to them? May we truly pledge allegiance to the lamb till the end. Amen
I don't understand how a person who sang about the allegiance, courage and resilience of the early believers could not resist the pull of his own flesh which is obviously wrong and silently declare a non allegiance.
The song I pledge allegiance touched my heart the first day I listened to it my prayer is that God should turn his heart back to work in the right direction just like the way king Nebu.... Realized and confess that there's no other God tham the God of Shadrach........., may God remember him
I'll keep on praying to Jesus Christ Forever til I died as a Christian. Remembering the past of that song helps me feel the joy, thank you TBN and make God bless you all of you I ever loved, don't ever stop believing in the name of Christ. I'll always remember you Ray Bolts.
I have heard how Christians long ago Were brought before a tyrant's throne They were told that he would spare their lives If they would renounce the name of Christ But one by one they chose to die The Son of God they would not deny Like a great angelic choir sings I can almost hear their voices ring I pledge allegiance to the Lamb With all my strength, with all I am I will seek to honor His commands I pledge allegiance to the Lamb Now the years have come, and the years have gone But the cause of Jesus still goes on Now our time has come to count the cost To reject this world, to embrace the cross And one by one let us live our lives For the one who died to give us life Till the trumpet sounds on the final day Let us proudly stand and boldly say I pledge allegiance to the Lamb With all my strength, with all I am I will seek to honor His commands I pledge allegiance to the Lamb To the Lamb of God who bore my pain Who took my place, who wore my shame I will seek to honor His commands I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

I have cherished this song for a significant period, dating back to my childhood. Now, as an adult, married with children, I truly comprehend its profound meaning. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite Gospel songs. The message embedded here is weighty! For those who grasp the depth of it, may the Good Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly. All glory and honor to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
I really love this song, please Jesus help me. Also help Ray to come back and fulfill his pledge
Believe in The Lord Jesus Christ and you Shall Be Saved🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Brothers & sisters let us join hand to pray for ray because he need our prayer ray is not a bad guy but Satan is the one to be blame.
Ray Boltz is a gifted singer. As far as his private life is concerned, God gives everyone free will, He won't interfere with it, so why should we? All we should do as Christians is pray for him, and trust God. 🙏
My prayers go out to his wife....that God will give her the strength to make it through this.....God bless you dear lady,.....
THESE SONGS RAISED ME! NOW I'M JUST STRUGGLING TO LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART... IN MY CHOICES. JUST LIKE RAY WE ALL NEED PRAYERS
Blessed be Lord JesusChrist for deliverance of world.
I hope he return bk to the Lord..right now his eyes r clouded, he allowed the enemy to deceived him...let's kp him in our prayers. A man of this who God anointed and God blessed him to impacted millions. God created male and female check Genesis. He HV to rejects the world and embrace the cross. Its not SBT us its abt Christ. Satan is a liar those feeling are not real what he his feeling
Wow. Oh Lord restore your servant Ray
Timeless chords...Satan be lost!...U can't snatch this Giant! IJN
This is a great song, gives me chills everytime I hear it, to God be the glory!
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
Listening to the song for the first time,the year 2023.... learning he has now left the Lamb, I break the hold of strongman/stronghold over your desires and draw you back to himself.....Amen
Every time I watch this I cry, it's a reality that we all are one day facing.
😭My God, am afraid of even telling Jesus i love him bcs many said nd now turned back, the race isn't easy 😭
Praying for you Ray. We still LOVE you brother. Come back to Christ. 😢
I will never deny Jesus I pledge allegiance to the lamb I love you Jesus Christ for ever you are my god and my Lord and my Savior and my teacher my Savior
Ray Boltz was booked to sing at my church then he came out as gay. Showed up a few months later he was living out of his car look totally unKepted in in bad shape tryed to sink a few songs. Felt convicted being in a church and walked out. The pastor felt bad for him knowing what was going on took a collection for him.. someone brought it out to his car and tried to talk him into coming back in but he left. Later I read about what happened to Ray . Understood what has happened. I couldn't understand how someone who seemed sold out for the Lord singing good songs could go back to being gay.The pastor asked the congregation to keep praying for him.
The enemy fights us as believers every day but our desire for Jesus must remain strong. The enemy can only overcome us when our desires for Christ Jesus is gone. Let us pray that our hearts desire for Christ Jesus gets stronger each day. We lift our brother up in prayers, Lord let Ray's desire for you be stronger than before and that he comes back from his setback.
Wow! What an anointed nice worship song. I believe by the time the singer did this song, the Spirit of God was focusing us listeners towards allegiance to our Redeemer - Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
It is unfortunate to learn that this wonderful talented voice opted for the sexual vice. It is a choice anyway, just like the way we choose salvation and obedience to the Holy Spirit. To me, this song is still so inspiring. We are called to repentance on a daily basis because we are weak in flesh. Even King David who had a heart after God slipped when he sighted Uliah's wife.. BUT he quickly realised and acknowledged his sin when the prophet visited him. He was remorseful and repented. The bible says that if we are truthful to ourselves, acknowledge our sins/sinful nature, repent and accept to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, our atonement.... then the Almighty God is justified to forgive us. Truthfully, we all need supplications to overcome sin and to pray for each other as Christians because temptations are all over us. The promise we have is that God will not let those temptations over run us. He says run away from sin. So it is a choice to forsake sin however sweet that sin may be.
The bible clearly tells us that God is full of love BUT he despises sin ...and homosexuality is indicated therein specifically as a sin too.
Let us stay focused on our coming LORD Jesus Christ and be vigilant with His instructions. Truly, we are living the end-times coming steadfastly. Our redemption is in the power of the cross and the precious blood shed by our LORD JESUS CHRIST. He loved us so much and desires that are crowned in Heaven rather than elsewhere. MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD CONTINUE HELPING US TO DISCERN THE SPIRITUAL PITFALLS, BY GOD'S GRACE.
John:15.4
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
John:15.5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John:15.6
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
Now in America, saints need to call upon Jesus, repent, claim God's promises.
My heart bleeds to know he has gone back to the world. Our prayers are strongly with him. Lord have mercy on him and make him realise his mistake and retrace his steps to the Lord soon in Jesus name Amen.
I pledge allegiance to the lamb of God, I will forever love you LORD 🙏🙏
May that lamb find you again our beloved brother for as many souls being blessed listening to this song and praying for you and others struggling different immoralities,God is a good father if some day you land and this and see people's comments you will know that God loves the best despite our filthiness and stubbornness, blessings everyone reading this, Jesus Christ loves us dearly ❤

May God remember him❤😢😢
Heavenly Daddy, I pray for Ray Boltz. Thank You for the Ministry of Music he was anointed to Minister.
Whatever happened that caused him to become heartsick and lose hope, I ask that You REKINDLE the seed, kindling, fire that You placed in him.
Bathe him in Your Love, in Jesus Name. Amen 🙏🏻🤗❤️
Apostle Orokpo message brought me and also to know about the Man and the music
2021 still here❤
You are so right! I was delivered from years of Child Abuse suffered when I was only 3 years old because my mother had died and dad had to have a house keeper, who was a Satanist, even though dad did not know it at the time.
I was delivered from the cycle of coping, not coping event o the point of suicide. Jesus, only Jesus can deliver freedom to love Him first, last and always. He told me He would never leave me or forsake me.
I hope you're doing great today!
@@aknightwithadifference1649 Through the grace of Jesus, through His love and His revelation to me, I am doing great! I knoww my King, I know His incredible
@@1Daphdong That's beautiful. To God be the glory. Stay in faith and prayers.
2020 and still going. Pledging to Jesus. Amen. Let 2,000 more years of this life to come if it be of His will. I pledge to the lamb!
I too agree with you that this song is timeless.
I first heard this song when my son was about two or three years old - now he's 25 years old and I'm still listening to it as if it's a new release, because of the message.
We do not know how he got to that point in his life- it's sad and also unchristian.
Rightly said let us pray for him that the merciful, loving, forgiving God would grant him mercy to return to the fold.
The works of the flesh can overrun one spirit any moment if we give in to its passion and temptation, it doesn't matter if you are anointed or gifted.
This song does not only bless but opens another spiritual dimension in the heavenly realm . Now we pray for Ray Bolts for the same anointing that he carried to be manifested back to his life by the blood of the Lamb , Nothing and absolutely nothing that goes out of the mouth of the Lord returns to him empty without accomplishing the purpose to which it was sent... for his right hand and his holy arm has given him victory , lets arise and sing a new song to the Lord psalms 98:1. Shalom❤
Mercy . God have mercy and holy spirit bring him back to uour fold
Praying for brother Ray Boltz. May God bring you back sir. We love you and are praying for you 🙏
I pray to God almighty in the name of Yeshua Christ to release him from every bondage that holds him down not to finish well.Amen
The prayer for commitment to Jesus Christ is to accept the finished work of the cross and live in the righteousness with which he has provided and choose always to be led by the spirit Whom he has given to every believer and we should live in and outside these bodies we have presently before Rapture.💯👪💕💪🔦❤️🧘👣🌲😀🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🙏🏼🙏🏻
JESUS I LOVE YOU
I pray for Ray Bolds that he will turn his life around. The devil is a liar.
This video is heart wrenching. May God bless you, Ray Boltz.
I pledge allegiance to God.
Thank you for strengthening me with your lovely song. While the world is persecuting me and my family of God.⭐
I haven’t heard this song in decades and I’m glad I came across this video…thank You Lord! Brings back great memories of when I first saw this back in the 90’s ❤
Now We are back to the era where we have to choose between Christ and the world… what is right and wrong .. to uphold the truth from scriptural point of view or flow with the trend of time… May we stand for Truth to the end in Jesus Name Amen. Jesus loves U❤
is a very touching video...Those good Christians who were subjected to torture and death and yet refused to renounce our Lord Jesus....I say God bless them
My faith in Christ has been strengthened
He is indeed our brother and we should pray for his repentance. This song is timeless. Praise God
I hope he has since come back
@@lavenderflowers1075Sure
every alter that pulled him down is broken in the name of Jesus christ of Nazareth. darkness will not win his restoring his life again.
I will also say a prayer for Ray
Awesome song
I pledge allegiance to the lamb with all my strength with all i am i will seek to honour his command i pledge allegiance to to the lamb now the year of come the year of god year

Powerful song. He Is worthy! Hallelujah!
Ray, America needs your ministry severely! I ask you

You helped millions and we
miss and love you. We are
Praying for you!!!
Sonya Rattz
Sonya Rattz Ray, America needs your ministry! Amen sister
Thank you for coming out boldly. His Song brings Heaven on earth.
He never left.
I don't understand how a person who sang about the allegiance, courage and resilience of the early believers could not resist the pull of his own flesh which is obviously wrong and silently declare a non allegiance.
Awww my God pls and pls again and for the sake of the cross and the blood that atoned for him, please forgive him and redeem him again back to You again in Jesus mighty name Amen
Sold out to the lord..... better get back to the lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.....Ray.....
Come home Ray. You are loved and you're missed.
This song has been so powerful throughout my whole life. Growing up I heard it every year at church camp, multiple times at youth conferences, revivals, church services and whatnot. His music has always had a huge impact on the Christian community.
Poor ray,God please give him the urge to comeback to You,forgive him Jesus i pray.From Jamaica
@@soniaanderson16 he never left Jesus
@@battleborn1055Praying for you as well. Ray has left the lamb but l believe that the mercy of God will locate and the grace of God will restore him back to faith in Jesus name Amen
@@ronkealonge8378 keep your prayers. I am right where i need to be with God. I would never want to be as close minded as someone like you
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of Kings to the glory of God
Jesus Christ will show mercy and cause Bro. Ray Boltz and others to be restored. Let us keep praying and He will show up again.
Amen. God is faithful. He will answer our prayers
I prayed so that God can remember is severt ray and bring him to everlasting kingdom
May God's great mercies touch him and bring him back
Remember Sodom, it seemed right to them but in the end fire and brimstone from Heaven consumed them. They were all destroyed, therefore remember and repent. Disobedience leads to destruction. We pray our brother's heart be broken like that of David the king of Israel. It is never too late until death.
Great song ppl listen and put them in that place
Revelation: 6. 9. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. - Bible Offline
Powerful!!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!!
God please bring him back to you, before it's too late for him.
May God help our present generation of Christianity.
I love your music God bless you
That era is here again, where you must choose between your faith or joining the league of those that want to be politically correct. Those who stand for Jesus and talk about LGBTQ+, what happened to them? May we truly pledge allegiance to the lamb till the end. Amen
People please Pray for this man so he will return to God his songs touches the Heart
What happen to him
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello make you smile
I don't understand how a person who sang about the allegiance, courage and resilience of the early believers could not resist the pull of his own flesh which is obviously wrong and silently declare a non allegiance.
The song I pledge allegiance touched my heart the first day I listened to it my prayer is that God should turn his heart back to work in the right direction just like the way king Nebu.... Realized and confess that there's no other God tham the God of Shadrach........., may God remember him
Praise God for Ray Boltz' songs, one of the best gospel song writer ever
I'll keep on praying to Jesus Christ Forever til I died as a Christian. Remembering the past of that song helps me feel the joy, thank you TBN and make God bless you all of you I ever loved, don't ever stop believing in the name of Christ. I'll always remember you Ray Bolts.
I have heard how Christians long ago
Were brought before a tyrant's throne
They were told that he would spare their lives
If they would renounce the name of Christ
But one by one they chose to die
The Son of God they would not deny
Like a great angelic choir sings
I can almost hear their voices ring
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength, with all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
Now the years have come, and the years have gone
But the cause of Jesus still goes on
Now our time has come to count the cost
To reject this world, to embrace the cross
And one by one let us live our lives
For the one who died to give us life
Till the trumpet sounds on the final day
Let us proudly stand and boldly say
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength, with all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
To the Lamb of God who bore my pain
Who took my place, who wore my shame
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
Thankyouforgivingusthewordstoallofhissongs
Thank you JESUS for the Calvary Cross.
I pledge allegiance to the lamb who bore my pain and shame.
