Why Many Believers Struggle — A Hard Truth from Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  Many believers have a poor world view on interpreting and dealing
• 0:04
  with tragic situations. Now with all due respect, and
• 0:07
  this is not to challenge you, there are many people who cannot
• 0:11
  say I have a fever, God forbid. Now I understand what they mean
• 0:14
  by positive confession. Are we together?
• 0:17
  But even when a doctor is serious, they are confusing the
• 0:19
  man because they think, if I say, how are you feeling, my
• 0:24
  dear patient, I'm very fine. The doctor takes it literal.
• 0:27
  Oh, you are fine. You are hereby discharge and the
• 0:29
  person is dying because the person was not taught that.
• 0:33
  If you admit before the doctor, you are not betraying your
• 0:36
  belief. They they were not taught the
• 0:39
  line between responsibility and the declaration of faith.
• 0:45
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 0:49
  Something is really wrong with the body of Christ.
• 0:51
  And I'm not saying this from a sarcastic standpoint.
• 0:54
  I'm telling you that the reason why there is widespread failure
• 0:58
  from Christians is largely because the advantage God gave
• 1:03
  to change society called the pulpit has become worse than a
• 1:07
  shrine in terms of the kind of software we have translated to
• 1:11
  people. Now, fair enough, we give credit
• 1:15
  to men and women of God. Everybody is doing their best.
• 1:18
  But let me tell you the truth. There needs to be a thorough re
• 1:21
  editing of the content that is used to serve God's people week
• 1:26
  in week out. That's what produces champions.
• 1:29
  There are people who God help them by bringing them under
• 1:33
  certain ministries. Six months on that structured
• 1:37
  mentorship, their lives blossom because the devil, I mean God,
• 1:42
  deconstructed those wrong belief systems and help them to see the
• 1:47
  way of the Kingdom more perfectly and they began to
• 1:50
  thrive. They began to blossom.
• 1:54
  With all due respect, there are ministries, and I'm, I'm saying
• 1:58
  this with, with every sense of passion and compassion and
• 2:02
  respect for the body of Christ, There are ministries.
• 2:04
  If you sit on that, from the day you sit, you start going down
• 2:08
  spiritually. It's not about being is because
• 2:11
  of the value system of the leaders that train the people.
• 2:15
  They downplay prayer, they downplay fasting, they downplay
• 2:19
  spiritual activities, they downplay consecration.
• 2:22
  Once you have money and you have good brain, you are all right.
• 2:27
  It's a subtle but dangerous engineering.
• 2:30
  On the flip side, there are ministries.
• 2:32
  If you arrive there, you start rising spiritually, but every
• 2:37
  other aspect of your life goes down as you are rising.
• 2:40
  Your prayer life goes up. What study life goes up, your
• 2:44
  influence goes down, character goes down.
• 2:46
  It's it's a small minded congregation of arrogant people.
• 2:56
  There are ministries, with all due respect, when you find
• 2:59
  yourself planted there, you've gotten into slavery because you
• 3:03
  will not even use the toilet until you get permission from a
• 3:06
  man of God. All in the name of prophetic
• 3:09
  activities, destroying marriages and destroying all kinds of
• 3:13
  things. Are we together?
• 3:19
  I hate to be the one to have to say this, but I'm saying it in
• 3:23
  love. Something is wrong.
• 3:27
  Something is wrong. Do you know how many salmons are
• 3:31
  direct products of jealousy? Do you know how many salmons are
• 3:36
  direct products of insecurity? Do you know how many salmons are
• 3:40
  direct products of pride? Do you know how many salmons are
• 3:42
  direct products of pride? Do you know how many salmons are
• 3:44
  direct products of lack of transformation?
• 3:47
  Do you know how many salmons are direct products of fear?
• 3:51
  So ministers create all these things out of their fear, their
• 3:55
  lost, their jealousies. With all due respect, a person
• 4:01
  who is afraid of losing members who suddenly piece two or three
• 4:04
  scriptures together and come up with a threatening sermon.
• 4:08
  You listen to any other man of God.
• 4:09
  You are under a course verse. What chapter?
• 4:12
  What? No, no, listen, listen, don't,
• 4:16
  don't, don't shout and say tell them don't, don't misbehave.
• 4:19
  The orderly I'm teaching here praise the name of the Lord.
• 4:22
  We don't do that in Cornonia. Don't shout.
• 4:23
  Tell them. And no, no, no, no, don't behave
• 4:25
  like that.
