  • Why are more and more public figures and intellectuals turning to Christ right now? Is this a fluke or an indication of something deeper? Jordan Peterson interviewed Russell Brand and they discussed something that I think we should analyze. So let's get into it! :)

    I have watched almost every video of Russell's journey. I have watched how he has gone from doing vlogs in yoga poses, talking about what various tarot cards means to Christians, and since his baptism rejecting tarot and yoga to deciding which bible version is more trustworthy. I personally see the Holy Spirit slowly whittling away all the paganism to reveal who could be a very powerful disciple of Christ. It truly is a beautiful thing to watch the Holy Spirit at work.

      Not true. His last video had him in a yoga pose, using a tarot card as a bookmark, and comparing The Bible to a book written by a man who embraces same s*x marriage. Brand is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

    In my early 20's I moved into a Zen Buddhist meditation center I was desperately seeking a deeper truth than what I saw around me in culture even in Christian culture. I was depressed, had come from an alcoholic family, and I was very lost. I participated in a 3-month silent winter retreat at the monastery, and in the middle of this retreat, 3:30 in the morning, saying a Buddhist mantra, I had a "vision" of Jesus Christ, his face on the cross. It was so mindblowing, absolutely everything stopped. It was not just a vision, but a very real presence, like the most ancient memory I had ever had. I KNEW this was my God, my Lord, my greatest friend, my most ancient teacher and beloved..... I began hearing knowledge, which is too much to say here. God saved me in a Buddhist temple! I had been seeking TRUTH, and truth came to me in the face of Jesus Christ. His presence has remained with me all these years, and his love and wisdom through the Holy Spirit guides me through this insane world, keeping me solid in God's peace. I love him so much. Thank you for listening, may everyone reading this be blessed. . . .

      Re: Russell Brand I'm waiting to see the fruit myself and am still reserving judgement. It may well be that he is genuinely saved now but I have seen and heard about many who have so called "made a commitment to Christ" only to find they're caught up with false doctrine or have soon after gone back into the world and weren't genuine. Prayer as you say is needed. 🙏

    I was a VERY dedicated Christian in my earlier teen years. I started having questions and the church would answer some and couldn’t answer others. It got to the point where they told me to quit asking questions or the whys in everything because it will lead you astray. That it would create doubt in my heart.
    I can see why they told me that but at the same time I felt if Jesus was the truth, there HAD to be answers to everything. So there was that tension. I stopped asking them and started asking Catholic scholars questions and realized how different their beliefs were and just began to question more and more. Then my dad died, my only other support in my immediate family when it came to my faith. It crushed me. Only 4 people came from my church (keep in mind that I was HEAVILY DEDICATED, serving at the church everyday, if not serving, praying and teaching Bible study). My pastor didn’t show to the funeral and that kind of hurt. Never said anything tho. Two weeks later, I get a call from him telling me that I should take my naked pictures off from Facebook (I am a bodybuilder, they are not naked picture. I was one of the top teens in American bodybuilding at the time). It angered me because I thought he was calling to check up on me and send me his condolences for my loss. From there I told him how I felt he went about my “naked pictures” the wrong way and that for his 40+ years in the ministry he should know better, that there’s a time and a place for these things and he did not like that and went off on me. We were going back and forth in dispute with one another. Next day I had several people unfollow me from FB. Decided to part way. I was only 19. Decided to pursue philosophy on my own and came to the conclusion that there was no god. I was an atheist/agnostic and as of late I’ve been reevaluating everything. For many reasons. Too much to type. But pray for me, I am open again. I’ve prayed but I feel like a fake because deep inside I still struggle with disbelief. If you gotten this far, thanks. I don’t talk about this often.

      Christians and non-Christians alike are always very blind to themselves when they signal virtue but do not look at their transgressions. It is good that you told your pastor that there is a right time and a wrong time to preach virtue and surely he chose the wrong time when he did not have the decency to condole with you on the death of your father. I had a similar experience that had nothing to do with the church, but with a friend who got upset with me but didn't ask how I was doing after my mum died. We didn't speak for five years after that argument, until recently. It shows me that it's good not to shy away from conflict, much better than remaining speechless.
      We all struggle and have doubts. Only the insane has no doubt at all. When Christians tell you that they are always without doubt or anxiety, I do not believe it. Even Jesus was struggling with despair. Why would any of us do not?
      We are far too educated to be like children. We know too much, we've seen too much. If anything, the task seems to me to become unafraid of death. That, I would say, the belief in God offers the self. To become serene about ones mortality and free from the sadness in having to die. I think it's a life long endeavor. From Buddhism I learned that there is no enlightenment "once and for all". But I am not a Buddhist, I was raised Christian and find back to my roots. I find it is no contradiction to say that I believe in God, while I know at the same time that it is also a coping mechanism. I find it rational to believe in something greater than me. If only, to keep me away from arrogance and insanity.
      God bless you.

      @ziquefitness9708 It sounds to me like you are in a good place, because you're now open to God. What will you seek & who will you listen to? Conflicts happen in life & even in churches. It's how we respond to them that determines our future. Wanting to please others is okay, but isn't the point that Christian's actions should please God? So our greatest call is to be a disciple of Christ. Didn't you see some selfless love & demonstrations of Jesus' Agape' love while you attended your church and/or in parents, grandparents, or a friend? For me, I saw this in my granddad as a 4 & 5 year old. I intuitized that he knew God & I wanted what he had. At 13, I was intently reading John, seeking God & struggling with my selfishness, sinfulness & emptiness. Romans says that sin pays the wages of death, but the (amazing!) free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Seeking & experiencing God includes genuinely forgiving anyone & everyone who has offended us (as Jesus said in the Lord's Prayer) so be sure that you include, or have included, your former pastor. For me, in the summer of 1968 I heard a sermon by Billy Graham on TV, went to my room & again, asked Jesus to come into my heart. Then it happened... with forgiveness, love, peace & joy. I said to Him, "God You are real!" He both transformed me then & has also gradually has changed me. He's met every need I ever had. I discovered what my granddad had & this is available to everyone who seeks God with their whole heart, as the bible says. I pray that the living Christ will bless you in your journey & grant you complete assurance of your faith.

      Why does he call him Jesus Christ? That was not his name, so many people think his last name is Christ it’s amazing how many people pray to a man who they have not made any effort to learn about
      What countries he lived in where he studied and with whom he studied
      He never claimed to heal anyone in fact he said “your faith has healed you” , I feel there’s more questions than answers and the New Testament wasn’t written for 300 yrs after his death and they excluded some books, why is the EGO so evident in people that speak about religion? I think being spiritual is the way not following different types of groups all who claim to be the way

    The most interesting point for me was when you said, at the age of 30, you swept the table clean and took a look at Christianity again. Was it you sweeping the table clean or was there a moment when the Lord touched your heart in such a way that it made you turn around and sweep the table clean? This is not an insignificant thing. When I wanted my life to end and prayed that God would take me out of my miserly, my prayer suddenly changed and I started to pray that if there was more suffering that I should endure for His sake, that I was willing to suffer. My life has never been the same since and now, even in my suffering, I am filled with joy knowing I have a future and a hope. My prayer is that both these gentlemen will cling to the hope that is in Christ and humble themselves before Him.

    I grew up Christian and in the church, my parents took us every Sunday, I asked to be saved at 4 years old, I never completely stopped going to church. But I always felt like I was missing out on something from the world and so when I left my parents I experienced the world. I never let Christianity be the main focal point of my daily life until I reached the lowest point in my life while living in sin. I realized I was lied to about the world and that nothing made me happy except Christ Jesus. Alcohol/weed, sex, parties, etc. was all a lie. None of it made me feel happy, it only made me feel disgusted with myself.
    Once I came sprinting back to Jesus and gave my life back to Him and truly dedicated my daily life to God then everything changed. I met my amazing wife who was compassionate and forgiving about my past. We just had a beautiful baby boy by the gift of God opening my wifes womb.
    Jesus Christ showed me that doing things on my terms and living for satisfaction gave me no meaning, but when I lived my life on Gods terms for our triune God then everything changed and I have never been happier.
    I am sanctified and saved by the Blood of the our risen Messiah. May He return soon.

      I would ask you to prayerfully read everything Jesus said about Himself and His Father’s relationship. Especially as written in the book of John also carefully and prayerfully read John chapter 4: Jesus conversation with the woman at the well. See who He says God is and who is to be worshiped. 🙏❤️ ask Our Father to remove the veil from your eyes. We all have been programmed. Scripture says, “ come out of her my people.” We all in this world have a lot of things to let go of especially teachings that lead in the wrong direction. Jesus said, “ I am the WAY the TRUTH and The Life and no one comes to the FATHER, but through me. “ again that = 2 so you wonder who and where is the spirit? When you read John chapter 4: you will understand. Also remember that satan said, “ I WILL be Like the most High . I WILL set on the THRONE “ And how do you suppose he will do that? Do you know that you and I are the temple of God ? the Fathers and His Son through their spirit live in us. Jesus as the very Son of His Father shares His Father’s same spirit because He came from His Father’s person. Just as Eve came from Adam.
      I pray that you will go in sincere prayer to Our Heavenly Father in the Name of His Son and ask if what I share is truth. The Question is will we believe what Jesus says or most preachers? Brother,” Study to show yourself APPROVED of God RIGHTLY DIVIDING the Words of Truth.” 🙏🙏

    I have a similar testimony as Russell. Long before I got saved, I found that this world gave me no satisfaction. No matter what I did it left me empty. I believed in God but I certainly didn't know Him. Whether he truly understands his need of what Christ did for him on the cross is between him and Christ. I hope to God he is genuine. I hope to God he truly understands his need of Christ taking his sins away. The simplicity of salvation through Christ (true biblical Christianity) is its own worst enemy. All the religions of the world claim that they are the way. But when you examine one key component of all of them, they all say that you have to do something to earn your way (works) to win God's approval and to enter the kingdom of Heaven. If that were the case, and we could somehow earn our way to heaven, Christ would have never had to die on the cross. So then what does God require of us in order to be saved? FAITH.... Not faith in ourselves and our works. Or faith in a religion or religious practices and traditions... Faith in the finished work of the Cross of Christ. That's it! Trusting that God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy his anger against us. It's that simple people. 🙏

    The Book of Judges is more important than many people realize.
    Societies nowadays go through the same cycle that the Israelites did all those years ago:
    - Be blessed and prosperous as a reward for faithfulness and strong adherence to God's commands
    - Over time, become distant from God and begin to engage with sin more and more
    - Fall fully into corrupt and sinful beliefs and actions, rejecting God and turning fully to the things of the world
    - Lose the blessings and rewards that God gives, causing a loss of prosperity, comfort, and safety
    - Cry out to God for forgiveness and return to Him, restarting the entire cycle
    We are entering the final stage, where people are beginning to realize just how important God is to a prosperous, long-lasting society.
    Our country has been made into a ruin of its former self, and many people are beginning to notice how false the world's promises of Godless prosperity and equality were.

    So powerful “you arrive and there is nothing there”. This is exactly the realization I came to a few days ago as a I abruptly decided to leave all new age practices (didn’t know it was new age and found out 7 years later), and began reading the Bible with a desire to know Jesus. I was being prepared however for about 2 years before this. During all of the years of searching and turning inward, I never found the peace or joy I was looking for and things fell apart more than they came together. Four days ago I finally felt the peace and an immense relief that I didn’t have to search anymore. These new age and mystical believes are not only toxic, they are straight out harmful. A week ago I would have never thought that I would be thinking or saying this but here I am, I am finally coming home. Because it does feel like coming home and God has been patiently waiting. I also found it so helpful what you said about the narrow path and the death of self (not physical death), since I am newly on this path. Thank God and thank you for a great video 🙌🏻

    • @simr19
      @simr19 4 месяца назад +2

      @@christabelleblue9901 That’s a valid question. Well I can only say from own experience and what I’ve learned, but yoga and meditation were the start of the journey with the mystical and loving myself. Meditation’s purpose is not only to quiet the mind but also to enter an altered state and connect with the mystical. My first meditation 10 years ago didn’t do much. But the more time went on, the more I would experience visions in my meditations and movements that came on their own. Alongside yoga, I picked up different books such as “the power of intention” and “you can heal your life”. I think what it naturally does (except for what many Hindus’ say that yoga is a type of worship to their gods and is religious, etc.) is that it takes you on the self-help path and into new age.
      It’s rare that we’ll do yoga and meditate without becoming curious about the other things, such as new age beliefs. For example, there are teachings such as “you have everything you need inside of you”, “you attract what you are”, and “everything that happens to you is because of your own energy and/or karma”. It creates this notion that we can do it all alone, that we can manifest anything we want, and that we don’t really need anyone or anything outside of ourselves. All of this often leads to a constant search for healing, to be whole, and to dive into deeper practices. Some of those are shamanic journeys, cacao and ayahuasca ceremonies, psychedelics, crystals, etc. They are meant to be practices that help you be healed and feel better and to connect more with yourself and the divine.
      But the problem isn’t only opening the doors to something mystical (which got scary for me the more I meditated and began feeling and seeing things), but also that it creates this belief with time that we are flawed and need more and more healing. Then we begin doing ancestral healing and people go to retreats where all sorts of things often happen (not at all of them). Then when we don’t feel better, or can’t manifest, or we attract bad things, we blame ourselves. It's very much about the self and it separates us from others because of the teachings that we can do it all on our own and we shouldn't need anything.
      I was fortunate that I never took psychedelics and that my fear kept me going too far. Also, working with crystals is a type of magic. I am not saying that everyone will adapt the teachings and go deep into the mystical, but these things do open a door to other things to come through. Because when we meditate and do yoga, we automatically open ourselves up.
      When I decided to leave it all, I can't tell you how relieved I felt. There are many ways we can calm our mind and exercise our body, like taking a walk in nature, doing a regular breathing technique, going to the gym, pilates, swimming. And regular therapy works, for example CBT was good for me.
      What personally got me out of deep depression was faith and people.
      This is only my experience and my thoughts on it but I wish I had done more research beforehand. All I can say that after years it made me feel empty and separated from people. There was also a lot of judgement towards those who didn't practice these things or believe what I believed. I think to go into these practices, it's good to go in with knowledge and open eyes. I hope this gives some insight and value and wish you the best on your journey ❤️

    Of all places that the bible has been such as hotels and hospitals, I recently went through 3 years of cancer treatment and being a follower of Christ, I had to ask for a bible. I had left mine at home and was waiting for my iodine to go through my system before some scans and the bible that was there last time was gone. I had brought a highlighter in my bag just to highlight some scripture in that Bible to show specific verses to someone who might be scanning through the bible. It was gone and I asked the nurse where the bible went and she said she would look for it for me. She came back and had the exact same one I had the week previously because I had folded specific pages back and recognized it. The bible is slowly disappearing from usual places which it has been for years. We must try to keep this going in these places that have been a beacon for Christ where people of need are usually attending and need access to this life saving book. I pray that people would read their bible and come to Christ and grow in Christ.

God blessed me so much throughout by being able to distract myself with work from the ruminating thoughts that plagued me. This was 2006. I am grateful for that now as I look back and offer all my suffering to God to use as He sees fit. If you're going through this don't give up. Offer it up for conversions.
    I feel what happened to me was a small sampling of what Jesus endured during the agony in the garden. I weep when i think of His suffering so much he shed blood. The attacks from satan and all the blasphemous voices of people of all history he heard. And His heart hurt from the hell those souls were going to.

      I used porn to run away from my addictions but it lead me closer and closer to Satan: solipsism, doubting biblical inerrancy, wondering if God was real. Instead of petitioning it to God, it felt like I was spiraling: desperate for control. After all of those difficulty years, God cared for me and reminded me that as I spiraled, He was patient and warm.
      So I pray that you lift your panic attacks and anxiety to God, praying that your sinful flesh or Satan's attacks go away, and you get proper ways like therapy, medication, and ABSOLUTELY prayer. God allows us to suffer, and symphatizes with our sufferings.

    Here’s a thought that I just had:
    To “die to self” is actually SO hard, that it can’t be done without the help of God. If you could “die to yourself” on your own, you would get the glory for it and your selfish/prideful cycle of being a “self made man” would continue. So before you’re able to die to yourself, I believe you have to first humble yourself or be humbled. Which many times takes a miracle or some type of traumatic event that really leaves you hopeless and deprived of any will to keep moving forward on your strength.
    What the conversion process looks like to me:
    Hopelessness/emptiness -> hear the true Gospel of Christ -> eyes opened -> repent of sin -> receive and believe Jesus -> die to self -> sanctification -> glorification
    *definitely a lot more steps in this process that I’m forgetting* (please correct me if you think any of this is not based on scripture)

      Well said. The one thing I would insert in your list is justification. Justification means that when we die to ourselves God sees us 'just as if we have never sinned'. This occurs when we are born again spiritually or put another way, our new birth. So, follow your list... die to self--> justification(new birth)--> sanctification(the process of)--> glorification(in heaven), etc. My conversion was a bit different because I was seeking God at 13 & struggling just as hard as an adult to die to myself as I viewed that as part of the Bible's requirements. Why was I motivated at such a young age to pursue God in Christianity? My grandfather was a man that was so close to the Lord that I intuitized that fact at the age of 5 & wanted to be free like him & know God the way he did. He died on my 6th birthday. Yet at 13, I struggled with my selfish nature, which the bible calls the flesh, for at least 6 months. I read the gospels & realized I was a slave of sin, but I think the sorrow of realizing Jesus made the greatest sacrifice in eternity for my sins by taking on spiritual death for me & then His dying by being separated from The Father kept pushing me to keep seeking Him. I hated the person I was. That summer, Billy Graham came on the TV. At the end, I went to my room & prayed again, confessing my sinfulness to Him & inviting Jesus into my heart. Then He came into me & suddenly I knew that God was real. I knew the truth that my Daddy K had. All the things I'd been looking for came into my soul... love, peace, joy & forgiveness took control. Jesus was & is the only one with power to save my soul. Because of Him I don't walk alone anymore. Now I can allow Him complete control & I am free, because He is real. If anyone wants real empowerment just read the book of John & find out who Jesus is. He wants you to discover Him more than you can imagine.

    I searched for meaning my whole life and discovered drugs/alcohol was a dead end, almost literally for me. I couldn’t stay clean and required a “higher power”to do it for me, literally. Not just help me, but do it for me, one day at a time.
    I was so amazed at this miracle, that I started looking for the source and discovered it was Jesus all along. I found a little Baptist church that did “believer’s baptism” in a river for us AA members who didn’t have a home church.
    I became a member of the Assembly of God for several years, often attending other denominations during their Revivals when we didn’t have church. I never thought any one church had a monopoly on God. I avoided JW & Mormons.

    I now carry my own small Bible, and in these rooms void of His presence, I exalt His word throughout my stay.

      I think with his previous talks with Brand, he knows how far he can push and how honest he can be, which makes for the best interviews since people can just say what they want and aren't "feeling" their way through.

    I was raised in the Catholic Church… I didn’t reject Christianity… I believed I’d been rejected… never would be good enough…took a life time to realize that God thought otherwise!
    Beware of the death to self necessity…. It too can be twisted and used to distroy!

    Everything makes so much sense now. I also tried many ways to find meaning including: weed, theater, buddhism, shamanism, music etc... Everything is empty in the end without Jesus Christ.

    I pray for R. Brand 24:24 and also for you. I cannot speak to what others experience I can only speak from my own. It is refreshing to hear folks speaks so favourably about God. Not for a moment can I believe this is a fad I truly believe something happens to us that begins to change our hearts then we become thirsty for God.

    It baffles me that people can reject love, peace, kindness, Truth, ... Life.
    Jesus Christ is all that is good and all that our souls desire.
    It takes tasting the truly bad to realize just how good Jesus Christ truly is, i guess.
    I praise Father God for His Wonderous Plan of Salvation !
    I Praise the Son of God for His Wonderous sacrifice !
    I praise the Holy Spirit for calling me and leading me to the Wonderful Son of God and all of His Wonderous Gifts and His Wonderous Promises !!
    Thank You, my Triyne God, for saving a terrible wretch like me !!
    HalleluYah !!!
    🙏🙌❣️✝️❣️🙌🙏

    I pray he gets godly mature men of God to disciple them. Unfortunately many churches don't befriend their church people. Everyone jumps in their cars after the service on their own .

    I think we are only seeing a last cry to mankind before the end of days. But it will not reach much beyond those of us who have already vested ourselves in the body of Christ.

    Definitely a resurgence. I was an agnostic raised baptist by a lazy Christian family believing my grandma was only so insistent on going to church because she had lived so badly she feared what the God of the universe would do to her in death if she didn’t spend the rest of old age repenting, father was Muslim always pressuring me but thankfully never actually teaching me anything just expecting me to pick up a Quran myself and decide to be one. At 25 picked up the Bible after spending a decade talking to Christian’s about how I could never be one. Christian’s coming up to me in parks, on busses, at the gym regularly all trying to turn me to Christ and I would sit and talk with all of them saying “I wish I could believe in God but I can’t because I can’t believe man could even understand something as amazing as the creator of the universe let alone claim to know his plans for us” asking questions all the time not really looking for an answer and feeling vindicated whenever they like everyone before them didn’t have an answer. But at 25 I said “I’ll read the Bible just so that I can be more accurate in my arguments so that no one could ever say I didn’t read it so I don’t know”. I would flip to a random page even then thinking of a higher power who probably could make it so if it was important it would show up and being disappointed when I arrived in the middle of a story that made no sense without the former context. Later being pleasantly surprised at just how good of a book it is! As an avid reader the stories of the Bible were riveting. The story of betrayals had me on the edge of my seat even as I failed to know the greater stakes. Then one day laying on my bed I opened my heart to the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ and they actually showed up. I was enveloped in so much warmth and love and hope I was immediately wrecked by it and could never go back. I spent weeks sobbing randomly whenever I thought about that feeling and realized it was true, it had always been true, he had been waiting for me and all this time I turned my back on him. All this time claiming to have been begging for him and never once truly opening my heart and even after all that when I did finally turn around and open the door there was nothing but love there. In regards to this being a revival I can say absolutely the Holy Spirit is moving because there was no man on earth that could convince me to be Christian and yet in the end I took no convincing at all! That same month I called back home to shyly share the news with people I was sure would be shocked and full of questions only to find out my little sister who had been until then practicing witch craft and my younger brother who was as lost as anybody had come to Christ at the same time. I came home and another lost sheep friend of mine had also come to Christ and we started to go to church. So many at the same time who hadn’t even been looking for Christ but were found by him and brought home. I see so many young pastors too all so anointed and well spoken I thought they must have been preaching from birth only to find out none of them had even known the lord before 2020! A revival is happening pray for your friends and your family that they may also be encountered by the light. Pray for yourself that you don’t fall away in the great falling away.

    Falling away !
    Remember there's going to be one !
    and its about the church , when Paul saw Christ People weren't sure of his conversion?
    Nebuchadnezzar , the most powerful ruler in history !
    LETS ALL DO WHAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD DO !
    LETS PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE !
    I was the lost of the lost , a Man gave me a bible tract on a railway station ,
    It was the first time ,I accepted it with hope , it took me another few weeks
    to read it ! Then he gave a little book of devotionals !
    I gave my life back to Christ Jesus ,it was always his he paid for my sins!
    and I can do nothing !
    It's all about Christ Jesus , what he did ! Not me !
    Today I pray for anyone , anyone who is out there, just waiting for someone
    to reach out to them ,GOD works through people !
    One gives the gospel ,the other receives it !
    So just pray for these people,lie you would like someone to pray for you !
