What has to stop is people in the West, Europe and every Christian nation have to humble themselves, repent and turn back to God Most High.

Read The Holy Bible regularly if not daily and know how much God loves us and wants us to never be groping in the dark without His protection. Pride is the first and greatest of all sins so we have to overcome our human pride above all.
I was raised in Christianity from birth. I only ever saw Christian movies and listened to christian music. I'm now 33 and Atheist. All these years and I haven't seen one supernatural event. I was promised supernatural event's I haven't witnessed any.
@@PastorElaine My mother read me the Bible as a child and she repeated promises of me of the Following: witnessing Arms growing back Resurrection from bones in some cases Seeing Angels Devine Protection. Etc. etc. We simply stopped attending church because her work schedule was getting intrusive. Even after leaving church we kept praying it wasn't til my early 20s that my mom and I had an argument that I eventually started looking for cheap insults to hurl at god on RUclips. I feel claustrophobic about Heaven and Hell. I really didn't want god to rob me of my sex drive in heaven. In heaven there is No sex. That alone was enough to make me want to have a different afterlife. We both know that in Hell you are in far too much pain to think about the opposite sex. After a certain point I found RUclips Atheists like JackLynn and Cosmic Skeptic. Then Seth Andrews and Matt Deluhaunty.
@@Gfish17 Sounds like a challenging journey for you. God shows up uniquely in so many places, which is what makes Him God. He cannot be commanded to show up and your mom made promises that God is not required to keep. Heaven should bring thoughts of expansiveness and freedom, versus claustrophobia. Although hell should be avoided for sure, it likely will be very different than what we picture in our minds. Honestly, I believe we will have more senses in heaven than we do now, because we will be less visual and tactile and more relational and spiritually experiential. I doubt God would put us in a place that would cause us to yearn for physical pleasures we have on earth. May God reveal Himself to you in such a way that you will openly declare "surely, there must be a God" and it bring you joy and peace of heart and soul. The Truth does set us free ~Jesus
@@PastorElaine God should be exist may not be required to keep promises from someone else but he also knows what the outcome will be for people who those promises were made to if they aren't kept. It's impossible for me to believe in someone I can't see or Interact with.
You consider yourself a Pastor ❓ That's totally against the Word of God . I'm not going to send Bible Verses your way , but what you're doing is totally against the Character and Nature of God .. Yes Woman have an Important role in the Body of Christ , but not in this Position of Authority. Sadly , 60% of Christians are OK with this , a topic for another day . May i ask what is your Denominational background ❓
Howdy Edward. There is a verse where Paul says he does not allow a “woman to usurp authority over a man”… in my case I was appointed so no force used… the word pastor and women are not used together in this verse… We are Church of The Nazarene and have ordained women from the start. Deborah was a judge- and had authority in The Bible… God approved.
@@PastorElaineA Judge and Pastor are two totally different authoritative positions . You are delusional if you think God approves..This is in total rejection of the Principles put forth in the Garden .Are you OK with LGBTQ behind the pulpit ALSO ❓So someone Appointed you as Pastor ❓. You don't Possess the Gift of Pastor/ Teacher if you're in direct Violation of Scripture... There's quite a few verses that deny Authority over a Man by a Woman . Sadly , over 60% of the Body of Christ don't have an issue with Women as Pastor's . Like the Road to Damnation , the Majority is usually Wrong . I personally don't condemn You , that's between You and God , As a student of Dallas Theological Seminary I can tell you that , No Teacher ( for over 30 years) would approve of such blasphemy Of Scripture.....Last Question : does your Husband approve of you Position ❓

Isn't it wonderful, Carolyn? His grace is unbelievable. Glad you came to understand it, wish we did a better job of explaining it to people.
My relationship with God runs deep. He is my Savior, Healer, and love of my life. He gets me thru the day each day.

Hello, thank you for your openness about your journey. Who promised you supernatural experiences and what kind were they talking about?
