Why does the God worshiped in American Christian churches often remain unnamed, and what does this ambiguity mean for our personal faith and understanding? In today’s episode, we boldly question the conventions of organized religion and the concept of a "God with no name." We contrast Christianity's use of the generic term "God" with the specific names given to deities in other religions, exploring how this impacts our spiritual connection and respect. We dive deep into the fragmentation within churches, the rise of numerous denominations, and the conflicts that arise from differing beliefs. Unveiling the control mechanisms employed by religious institutions, we emphasize the true essence of spirituality—serving and uplifting others.
This episode is a heartfelt call to embark on a genuine spiritual journey that transcends religious dogma. We discuss the significance of seeking personal spiritual truths, listening to our inner voice, and understanding the true essence of life and spirit. We critique the church's tendency to prioritize materialistic needs over helping the needy and call for a reevaluation of what is taught. Embracing the narrow path of true spirituality involves challenges and sacrifices but promises deeper connections and real healing. Join us as we encourage you to harness the divine power within yourself and reach out for guidance and support on this profound journey. Blessed be.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome everyone.
Welcome back to another episodeof the Pagan Preacher and this
spiritual journey.
Today, what I want to talkabout is a God with no name.
Here in the United States wehave a predominantly large
(00:22):
percentage of Christians inChristian churches.
How many understand that theword, the term God is a title,
not a name?
Other religions, when they callupon their God, they have name,
(00:46):
they know their God's name.
They don't just say God,because that can mean almost
anything, but what it actuallywould represent would be what
was in your perception of whatGod was, your understanding of
(01:07):
God.
So when people say God, do theynot realize that they could be
talking to multiple gods,multiple sources, sources that
how close can we honestly be inour own faith if we don't know
(01:34):
the name of our God?
God, as I said, is a title.
What are you?
He is a god.
She is a title.
What are you?
He is a God.
She is a goddess.
But God is not a name.
One nation under God.
(01:54):
What God is that?
What is this God's name?
You say Jesus.
No, jesus was not God.
Jesus according to Christian,jesus was not God.
Jesus according to ChristianWas the son In the flesh,
completely different.
(02:15):
The Muslims Call God, allah.
Other religions have names fortheir God, their goddesses as
well, but it seems theChristians, or at least the ones
here in the United States,don't even know the name of
(02:39):
their God.
Because I've asked them, theysay God, this, god, that.
Well, what is your God's name?
What is this God's name?
So I can address them Well,it's just God, because there's
this one God and it's like haveyou not read your own book?
(02:59):
There are more than one God,there is more than one goddess.
So when you say God, it's sovague, it's so open that it is
impossible to know who it isthat you speak to, other than
what you perceive or what youbelieve God looks like.
(03:22):
That's why most people neverfind God, because they are
seeking God in what theirperception says.
God looks like.
God looks like an old man witha big white beard and a glowing
glow of white light, andwhatever it may be.
(03:43):
And if they don't see that,then it's not God.
Because in the Christian churchwe're not taught what God looks
like, how to perceive God, howto understand God, how to truly
find God.
Because not only do we have anameless God in the Christian
(04:06):
faith here in the United Statesof America, but we don't even
understand how to reach such God.
And I say we because most ofyou know that that's where I
come from.
In my past and in my works ofdeconstructing spirit has led me
(04:32):
to many new revelations andepiphanies and understandings of
why I felt I had to do what Ihad to do.
What I had to do and how tomentor those that felt the same
need, the same drawing to gosomewhere else, to seek the
(05:00):
truth somewhere else much deeper.
How much can we trust aspiritual body that knows not
the name of their own God, knowsnot the fact that the word, the
term Jesus was not his nameeither?
Jesus was not how youpronounced the man that walked
(05:23):
in Nazareth J.
The letter J and I'm not goingto go into this, you can
research this, you can look itup the letter J didn't even
exist in this language.
There was no J.
It wasn't Jesus.
(05:46):
Some say it was Yeshua, becausewithout the J, you say well,
what?
What really difference is itmade?
Because it's in our heart thatmatters the most and no, it
doesn't.
Because if what we have in ourheart is a mistake, or if we are
, if our perception is blurredand we don't quite know the
(06:08):
facts, we don't quite know thetruth, we just are going along
with what everybody else says.
And what everybody else says isright.
Then, are we truly seeking?
Are we actively you know thatverb that we are actively
looking for truth, and when wefeel that we're not receiving
(06:31):
such truth, we will do whateverit's required to find that truth
, whether it be leavingmainstream religion, leaving a
particular church, you know, orwhatever it may be.
It takes great courage tosometimes find or to follow that
truth, because truth has a wayof leading us on to different
(06:54):
paths.
And when we start jumping paths, people start ridiculing,
people start condemning, likewhat are you doing?
God wouldn't have you there.
But what do you know of God inmy life?
What do you know the purposethat God has for me?
(07:14):
Who are you to judge thatpurpose?
Listen to that voice within you, you know.
Listen to that voice within you, you know, and knowing God's
(07:37):
name isn't the most importantthing during your initial stages
of seeking, I say spirit, and Isay spirit a lot, because
spirit is God.
And when I say I've heard fromspirit or I speak with spirit, I
am saying I speak with God.
Now, god is in many differentplaces.
(07:57):
Spirit is in many differentplaces.
I see spirit in all livingthings and all the things around
me.
Spirit is within me, spirit iswithin you, the essence of life.
We have to understand thedifference between the essence
(08:19):
of being, the essence of life,and that which gives life.
The essence of life and thatwhich gives life and what the
Bible or other religions wouldconsider lowercase G, lowercase
goddess, because they areseparate in their terminology.
But anyone, anyone that saysthat they follow a particular
(08:42):
supreme being, must know thatname Out of sheer respect, out
of sheer admiration of suchdeity.
You must know that name,because how do you worship
something that you know, nottheir known name, where they
(09:04):
know nothing about them otherthan what?
The stories of other men?
The 66 books of the Bible are agreat read.
Yes, you can learn a lot fromthem, but that's not all the
truth.
That's not all there is.
You know, you can find truth inthe Buddhist.
You can find truth in the Hindu, and believe it or not you, you
(09:26):
could find truth in the Hinduand believe it or not.
You could even find truth inthe lady or the gentleman that
says they practice witchcraft,and I know there's many people
are gonna be out there all.
No, no, that's not evenpossible, because the Bible says
this about witchcraft.
But we have to understand theterminology back then too of
what was a witch and why theyclassified those as witches, and
(09:53):
why we have to understand thatthe way they saw things several
thousands of years ago and theway we see them today are
completely different.
The terminology witch two,three thousand years ago was one
that concocted poisons andconjured demons, things of that
(10:18):
nature that did very bad thingsto people and, believe it or not
, most of the witches that Iknow that are my friends would
never, never, do anything of thesort.
You have to understand whatmakes evil is what comes out of
(10:41):
the heart of man or woman.
When I say man, I'm classifyinghumanity.
What comes out of someone'sheart is what is good or evil.
If you have evil in your heart,you will manifest evil.
If you have goodness in yourheart and your intentions are
(11:03):
good, you will manifest goodness, same thing as kindness and
love, if you are.
Let me just kind of stop rightthere.
Let me let me just kind of backit up just a little bit,
talking about the Christianchurch, talking about the
(11:24):
nameless God, a religion thatnever truly teaches people.
And you know what I've alwaystried?
I've tried in the last year ortwo, I've tried to help people
deconstruct, without necessarilycondemning or ridiculing the
(11:48):
Christian faith, because thereis good in the Christian faith,
but there is so much bad that itfeels sometimes within my
spirit that it's overwhelmingand that I have to speak Because
, just as prophets of the oldtried to speak to people, to the
(12:09):
Pharisees that thought theyknew everything about God,
everything that was, theythought they were living the way
they should live and they weredoing anything of the sort,
these are the same people thatput your Jesus on the cross and
crucified him.
The same people that today wantto put the Ten Commandments in
(12:34):
school but refuse to givechildren free lunches and they
let them start.
Where have we gone in thiscountry when we depend or we
rely on a religion with anameless God?
If the church doesn'tunderstand the truth for what it
(13:01):
is and we can't say the truth,the church does with all these
different denominations, allkinds of different denominations
, labeling themselves different,teaching something that's
different and arguing amongsteach other about what is right,
what is wrong, what is God, whatis not.
(13:22):
We've got people leavingchurches and leaving different
organizations simply because ofwhat they say.
Well, that church is going wokeand we won't have that.
We're going to go over here andwe're going to go do this.
Whatever happened to peoplejust worrying about themselves,
worrying about their life andtheir walk?
(13:44):
Whatever happened to choice?
You know I say this because weact like as sometimes religious
people that we know everythingthere is to know about religion,
but when we really dig deepinto our own acknowledgement of
(14:05):
this that none of us truly knowfor a fact everything that there
is to know about God andcreation, to say that you do
makes you a fool, because eachone of us are born into this
world completely ignorant ofeverything around us and we are
(14:30):
taught by some of the peoplethat we love in the churches and
other organizations.
You know we're taught that,well, you need to go to church
and you just need to followthese rules, you need to do
whatever this and then you'll beokay.
You won't.
You know you're not gonna haveto face eternal torture and all
of this kind of stuff, when noneof this is true.
(14:53):
There is no eternal torture.
The church has done so much incorruption, to teach people
things that control them out offear.
Well, if you don't pay yourtithes, god's going to punish
(15:15):
you.
Wrong, that's another lie.
God is within you, god iswithin you, god is within all
people, and to serve God, tolive a life for God, means live
a life for Spirit and seekspiritual things.
(15:37):
Note, this has nothing to dowith religion or church.
Then you will seek to blessothers spiritually, and
sometimes blessing someonespiritually is blessing them
physically, because sometimeswhen we're down and out and
we're hungry or homeless orwe're cold, having that one
(16:01):
person reach down and pick us upand give us a warm meal and
give us a warm place to sleep.
We may not have a name for that, but we can see the God in that
person.
We can see the godliness, thedivinity within the heart of
(16:24):
that person through the action,through the love, through the
caring.
It's not about law.
It's not about attending afour-wall building.
It's not about paying a tithewall building.
It's not about paying a tithe.
It's not about sendingmissionaries over to destroy
(16:45):
other countries' cultures.
The church sends them all overthe world saying that they have
to convert people.
We've got to preach this andwe've got to preach that,
meanwhile destroying culturesand traditions all over the
world.
This nameless God.
Let's dig deep, let's look atthe character of this nameless
(17:11):
God, this nameless God that saysin God's will we have to
eradicate thousands ofPalestinian children in Gaza by
the hands of God's supposedchosen ones, when God's people
(17:32):
here can let people starve onthe streets and freeze to death
on the streets and freeze todeath on the streets, when there
is plenty of resources andmoney to house every individual
in this country without aproblem, to feed every single
mouth in this country without aproblem, and yet we choose to
(17:57):
spend such money on other things.
And yet we choose to spend suchmoney on other things.
We need stained glass windowsand we need padded pews, we need
field trips and we need newbuses, we need all kinds of
fancy things to make our socialgroups so wonderful and nice,
(18:19):
but yet we deny the very thingwithin us, the very godliness
within us.
You want to know what God lookslike?
Look in the mirror, look deepwithin the mirror, look deep
within your mind and your heartas you lay quiet.
God is spirit, that essence oflife.
(18:46):
We must not confuse such spiritwith a physical, with a
physical, mortal, characteristicof a lower case god or goddess,
because these are individualsthat have shown great strength,
(19:11):
have done great feats,understanding and utilizing the
godliness within them, thedivinity within them, those that
learn who they are as divinecreations.
We have to understand, andthere's been many cons that have
(19:34):
come upon this earth and havesaid that they were God or they
were the gods, gods, and theywere not.
They may have been physicallysuperior, but they were not God.
We have to look deep, myfriends.
There is so much deception uponthis earth and you can read all
(19:57):
kinds of books, you can listento all kinds of preachers books,
you can listen to all kinds ofpreachers, you can listen to all
kinds of mentors and gurus,whatever they may be, but unless
you tap into spirit, unless youtap into that inner divinity
and to this universe that isaround us, you will never truly
(20:18):
understand truth and you willnever truly understand who you
are and what you're capable ofin this existence we have here
on earth.
We are spirits on a physicalexperience and all of us,
whether you be human or beanimal, or be even a tree, life
(20:46):
exists within and just becauseit's a different type of life, a
different type of existence.
It is life nonetheless, and weare all connected to that source
.
But this religion of thisnameless God and His Son that so
(21:13):
many can't even pronounce Hisname correctly.
We have to rise up out of this.
We have to start speaking thetruth.
We have to start telling peoplewhat they're teaching you is
wrong, what they're telling youis wrong, that there's things
(21:34):
within that book that, yes, aregood, are right and are holy,
and through Spirit you candiscern some of that stuff.
But you can't just limit it tothat stuff.
But the problem is, even inthat book there's been
miswordings and mistranslations.
(21:56):
There has been words that havebeen tampered with and added on
purpose to change thefoundations of this earth.
Be careful what you think isgood and what you think is evil.
Be careful what you think isgood and what you think is evil,
because the greatest place forevil to hide is where people
(22:22):
believe it to be good.
Seek within your heart what isthe truth.
Look at things for what theyare.
Look at things for what theyare.
Look at history, look at thephysical fruits of what you see
in these churches, within thesedenominations, in these other
religious bodies.
(22:43):
Do you see a body that isnon-judgmental, that tries to
love and spread love and is kindand merciful and generous and
seeks to use every avenue ofwhat they have and every
resource they have to blesspeople, then they have that true
(23:11):
essence of divinity.
But when you see the others andyou see the buildings growing
and you see the financial statusof a building or of certain
leaders, but you don't see thefruits of everything that you're
doing, how many within yourcongregations or your
(23:34):
memberships or your groups, howmany are growing?
Are they teaching or are theymerely sitting in a pew or a
table or wherever you may be inthis temple?
Are they doing anything?
Are there any fruits?
Are there any fruits?
Because when spirit is awakenedwithin us, there will be fruits
(23:57):
.
There will be a reaction tosuch action.
You will begin to understandwhat God is.
So many people, when you say God, people automatically think, oh
gosh, we've got a preacher here.
We're talking about religionand the church.
No, that is not what I'mtalking about.
(24:19):
God.
We're not talking about a skydaddy in the air.
We're talking about a trueessence of life and being, true
power and energy, pure love.
(24:44):
It's difficult to put intowords, but, trust me, if you
begin to listen to what I'msaying and follow what I'm
saying, you will find this, justas I found it too, and I tried
hard for many years to find itwithin the four walls of the
church, because I loved thepeople in the church.
(25:05):
But I found that maybe manypeople out there have too much
love for the church and notenough love for the people, not
enough love for what God trulyis.
They don't really like lookingupon themselves and judging
themselves, so they spend moretime judging others.
(25:31):
A God with no name has to change.
Ask yourself, ask yourself, digdeep, research this.
And that's why I'm not going tomention any name, because I
want you, I want you to researchthis.
(25:52):
I want you, I want you toresearch this, I want you to dig
deep.
What is your God's name?
What is your goddess's name?
Because the pagan preacher, thisspiritual journey is not about
Christianity.
It's about this spiritual walk.
It's about learning the truth.
It's about learning the truth.
(26:12):
It's about walking out ofreligious dogma and following
spiritual truth, true spiritualtruth, not just what the church
wants to teach, not just what areligious body wants to tell,
not just what a religious bodywants to tell.
(26:34):
You is right, but you need tofind out what is right yourself,
just like I do, and that'sgoing to come on with a lot of
ups and downs, a lot of bumpsand bruises, my friends I'm
going to lose a lot of friends,but they will be replaced with
(26:54):
better ones.
The narrow path you're right, hewas right, yeshua was right.
It is a narrow path and rightnow the church is one of the
widest.
Widest paths there is Becauseit doesn't matter what you want
to believe, there's a bodythat'll take you, there's a
(27:15):
church that'll take you.
You can believe almost anythingand still call yourself
Christian.
But majority of them don't evenknow where to start when it
comes to understanding thedeveloping power of Spirit,
(27:40):
harnessing that divinity withinthemselves, and understanding
what prayer actually is, whatit's like to manifest real
positive change, what it's liketo bless, what it's like to
bless, what it's like to trulyheal.
These things are real.
You don't see them becauseyou've replaced spirit with
(28:04):
religion, and flawed religion atthat.
Thank you everybody.
I hope I've reached some of youout there.
If you ever need or if you everhave questions, understand that
you can message me right hereon the podcast.
(28:24):
You can email me, you can callme or if you even want to
physically meet up, I guaranteeyou, if there's a way, I'll find
it.
Be blessed everybody andblessed be.
Thank you.
Welcome everyone.
Welcome back to another episodeof the Pagan Preacher and this
spiritual journey.
Today, what I want to talkabout is a God with no name.
Here in the United States wehave a predominantly large
(00:22):
percentage of Christians inChristian churches.
How many understand that theword, the term God is a title,
not a name?
Other religions, when they callupon their God, they have name,
(00:46):
they know their God's name.
They don't just say God,because that can mean almost
anything, but what it actuallywould represent would be what
was in your perception of whatGod was, your understanding of
(01:07):
God.
So when people say God, do theynot realize that they could be
talking to multiple gods,multiple sources, sources that
how close can we honestly be inour own faith if we don't know
(01:34):
the name of our God?
God, as I said, is a title.
What are you?
He is a god.
She is a title.
What are you?
He is a God.
She is a goddess.
But God is not a name.
One nation under God.
(01:54):
What God is that?
What is this God's name?
You say Jesus.
No, jesus was not God.
Jesus according to Christian,jesus was not God.
Jesus according to ChristianWas the son In the flesh,
completely different.
(02:15):
The Muslims Call God, allah.
Other religions have names fortheir God, their goddesses as
well, but it seems theChristians, or at least the ones
here in the United States,don't even know the name of
(02:39):
their God.
Because I've asked them, theysay God, this, god, that.
Well, what is your God's name?
What is this God's name?
So I can address them Well,it's just God, because there's
this one God and it's like haveyou not read your own book?
(02:59):
There are more than one God,there is more than one goddess.
So when you say God, it's sovague, it's so open that it is
impossible to know who it isthat you speak to, other than

God looks like an old man witha big white beard and a glowing
glow of white light, andwhatever it may be.
(03:43):
And if they don't see that,then it's not God.
Because in the Christian churchwe're not taught what God looks

Because not only do we have anameless God in the Christian

Then, are we truly seeking?

Spirit is within me, spirit iswithin you, the essence of life.
We have to understand thedifference between the essence

never, never, do anything of thesort.
You have to understand whatmakes evil is what comes out of
(10:41):
the heart of man or woman.
When I say man, I'm classifyinghumanity.
What comes out of someone'sheart is what is good or evil.
If you have evil in your heart,you will manifest evil.
If you have goodness in yourheart and your intentions are
(11:03):
good, you will manifest goodness, same thing as kindness and
love, if you are.
Let me just kind of stop rightthere.
Let me let me just kind of backit up just a little bit,
talking about the Christianchurch, talking about the
(11:24):
nameless God, a religion thatnever truly teaches people.
And you know what I've alwaystried?
I've tried in the last year ortwo, I've tried to help people
deconstruct, without necessarilycondemning or ridiculing the
(11:48):
Christian faith, because thereis good in the Christian faith,
but there is so much bad that itfeels sometimes within my
spirit that it's overwhelmingand that I have to speak Because
, just as prophets of the oldtried to speak to people, to the
(12:09):
Pharisees that thought theyknew everything about God,
everything that was, theythought they were living the way
they should live and they weredoing anything of the sort,
these are the same people thatput your Jesus on the cross and
crucified him.
The same people that today wantto put the Ten Commandments in
(12:34):
school but refuse to givechildren free lunches and they
let them start.
Where have we gone in thiscountry when we depend or we
rely on a religion with anameless God?
If the church doesn'tunderstand the truth for what it
(13:01):
is and we can't say the truth,the church does with all these
different denominations, allkinds of different denominations
, labeling themselves different,teaching something that's
different and arguing amongsteach other about what is right,
what is wrong, what is God, whatis not.
(13:22):
We've got people leavingchurches and leaving different
organizations simply because ofwhat they say.
Well, that church is going wokeand we won't have that.
We're going to go over here andwe're going to go do this.
Whatever happened to peoplejust worrying about themselves,
worrying about their life andtheir walk?
(13:44):
Whatever happened to choice?
You know I say this because weact like as sometimes religious
people that we know everythingthere is to know about religion,
but when we really dig deepinto our own acknowledgement of
(14:05):
this that none of us truly knowfor a fact everything that there
is to know about God andcreation, to say that you do
makes you a fool, because eachone of us are born into this
world completely ignorant ofeverything around us and we are
(14:30):
taught by some of the peoplethat we love in the churches and
other organizations.
You know we're taught that,well, you need to go to church
and you just need to followthese rules, you need to do
whatever this and then you'll beokay.
You won't.
You know you're not gonna haveto face eternal torture and all
of this kind of stuff, when noneof this is true.
(14:53):
There is no eternal torture.
The church has done so much incorruption, to teach people
things that control them out offear.
Well, if you don't pay yourtithes, god's going to punish
(15:15):
you.
Wrong, that's another lie.
God is within you, god iswithin you, god is within all
people, and to serve God, tolive a life for God, means live
a life for Spirit and seekspiritual things.
(15:37):
Note, this has nothing to dowith religion or church.
Then you will seek to blessothers spiritually, and
sometimes blessing someonespiritually is blessing them
physically, because sometimeswhen we're down and out and
we're hungry or homeless orwe're cold, having that one
(16:01):
person reach down and pick us upand give us a warm meal and
give us a warm place to sleep.
We may not have a name for that, but we can see the God in that
person.
We can see the godliness, thedivinity within the heart of
(16:24):
that person through the action,through the love, through the
caring.
It's not about law.
It's not about attending afour-wall building.
It's not about paying a tithewall building.
It's not about paying a tithe.
It's not about sendingmissionaries over to destroy
(16:45):
other countries' cultures.
The church sends them all overthe world saying that they have
to convert people.
We've got to preach this andwe've got to preach that,
meanwhile destroying culturesand traditions all over the
world.
This nameless God.
Let's dig deep, let's look atthe character of this nameless
(17:11):
God, this nameless God that saysin God's will we have to
eradicate thousands ofPalestinian children in Gaza by
the hands of God's supposedchosen ones, when God's people
(17:32):
here can let people starve onthe streets and freeze to death
on the streets and freeze todeath on the streets, when there
is plenty of resources andmoney to house every individual
in this country without aproblem, to feed every single
mouth in this country without aproblem, and yet we choose to
(17:57):
spend such money on other things.
And yet we choose to spend suchmoney on other things.
We need stained glass windowsand we need padded pews, we need
field trips and we need newbuses, we need all kinds of
fancy things to make our socialgroups so wonderful and nice,
(18:19):
but yet we deny the very thingwithin us, the very godliness
within us.
You want to know what God lookslike?
Look in the mirror, look deepwithin the mirror, look deep
within your mind and your heartas you lay quiet.
God is spirit, that essence oflife.
(18:46):
We must not confuse such spiritwith a physical, with a
physical, mortal, characteristicof a lower case god or goddess,
because these are individualsthat have shown great strength,
(19:11):
have done great feats,understanding and utilizing the
godliness within them, thedivinity within them, those that
learn who they are as divinecreations.
We have to understand, andthere's been many cons that have
(19:34):
come upon this earth and havesaid that they were God or they
were the gods, gods, and theywere not.
They may have been physicallysuperior, but they were not God.
We have to look deep, myfriends.
There is so much deception uponthis earth and you can read all
(19:57):
kinds of books, you can listento all kinds of preachers books,
you can listen to all kinds ofpreachers, you can listen to all
kinds of mentors and gurus,whatever they may be, but unless
you tap into spirit, unless youtap into that inner divinity
and to this universe that isaround us, you will never truly
(20:18):
understand truth and you willnever truly understand who you
are and what you're capable ofin this existence we have here
on earth.
We are spirits on a physicalexperience and all of us,
whether you be human or beanimal, or be even a tree, life
(20:46):
exists within and just becauseit's a different type of life, a
different type of existence.
It is life nonetheless, and weare all connected to that source
.
But this religion of thisnameless God and His Son that so
(21:13):
many can't even pronounce Hisname correctly.
We have to rise up out of this.
We have to start speaking thetruth.
We have to start telling peoplewhat they're teaching you is
wrong, what they're telling youis wrong, that there's things
(21:34):
within that book that, yes, aregood, are right and are holy,
and through Spirit you candiscern some of that stuff.
But you can't just limit it tothat stuff.
But the problem is, even inthat book there's been
miswordings and mistranslations.
(21:56):
There has been words that havebeen tampered with and added on
purpose to change thefoundations of this earth.
Be careful what you think isgood and what you think is evil.
Be careful what you think isgood and what you think is evil,
because the greatest place forevil to hide is where people
(22:22):
believe it to be good.
Seek within your heart what isthe truth.
Look at things for what theyare.
Look at things for what theyare.
Look at history, look at thephysical fruits of what you see
in these churches, within thesedenominations, in these other
religious bodies.
(22:43):
Do you see a body that isnon-judgmental, that tries to
love and spread love and is kindand merciful and generous and
seeks to use every avenue ofwhat they have and every
resource they have to blesspeople, then they have that true
(23:11):
essence of divinity.
But when you see the others andyou see the buildings growing
and you see the financial statusof a building or of certain
leaders, but you don't see thefruits of everything that you're
doing, how many within yourcongregations or your
(23:34):
memberships or your groups, howmany are growing?
Are they teaching or are theymerely sitting in a pew or a
table or wherever you may be inthis temple?
Are they doing anything?
Are there any fruits?
Are there any fruits?
Because when spirit is awakenedwithin us, there will be fruits
(23:57):
.
There will be a reaction tosuch action.
You will begin to understandwhat God is.
So many people, when you say God, people automatically think, oh
gosh, we've got a preacher here.
We're talking about religionand the church.
No, that is not what I'mtalking about.
(24:19):
God.
We're not talking about a skydaddy in the air.
We're talking about a trueessence of life and being, true
power and energy, pure love.
(24:44):
It's difficult to put intowords, but, trust me, if you
begin to listen to what I'msaying and follow what I'm
saying, you will find this, justas I found it too, and I tried
hard for many years to find itwithin the four walls of the
church, because I loved thepeople in the church.
(25:05):
But I found that maybe manypeople out there have too much
love for the church and notenough love for the people, not
enough love for what God trulyis.
They don't really like lookingupon themselves and judging
themselves, so they spend moretime judging others.
(25:31):
A God with no name has to change.
Ask yourself, ask yourself, digdeep, research this.
And that's why I'm not going tomention any name, because I
want you, I want you to researchthis.
(25:52):
I want you, I want you toresearch this, I want you to dig
deep.
What is your God's name?
What is your goddess's name?
Because the pagan preacher, thisspiritual journey is not about
Christianity.
It's about this spiritual walk.
It's about learning the truth.
It's about learning the truth.
(26:12):
It's about walking out ofreligious dogma and following
spiritual truth, true spiritualtruth, not just what the church
wants to teach, not just what areligious body wants to tell,
not just what a religious bodywants to tell.
(26:34):
You is right, but you need tofind out what is right yourself,
just like I do, and that'sgoing to come on with a lot of
ups and downs, a lot of bumpsand bruises, my friends I'm
going to lose a lot of friends,but they will be replaced with
(26:54):
better ones.
The narrow path you're right, hewas right, yeshua was right.
It is a narrow path and rightnow the church is one of the
widest.
Widest paths there is Becauseit doesn't matter what you want
to believe, there's a bodythat'll take you, there's a
(27:15):
church that'll take you.
You can believe almost anythingand still call yourself
Christian.
But majority of them don't evenknow where to start when it
comes to understanding thedeveloping power of Spirit,
(27:40):
harnessing that divinity withinthemselves, and understanding
what prayer actually is, whatit's like to manifest real
positive change, what it's liketo bless, what it's like to
bless, what it's like to trulyheal.
These things are real.
You don't see them becauseyou've replaced spirit with
(28:04):
religion, and flawed religion atthat.
