Big shout out from Manitoba, Canada. We are tired of masks, vaccines, and mandates! Most of all we are tired of the liars, and the sellouts/government leaders that do NOT care about our safety.

We stand united in the body of Christ, ready to take back our FREEDOM!

God Bless, and never give up hope! 🙏🏻

Every no backbone church should hear this message!

[katherinetope]

I wept while I was listening to this. I cry out to God for strength to bow to none but Jesus. I cry out for courage to not love my life more than I love my God. I cry out for eyes to be opened, for the veil to be removed, for believers to love the truth and not be deceived. I cry out for mercy from God to deliver us from tyrants. I cry out for my children to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. I cry because this message that is from God Almighty to His church is a call to get ready because this message will have consequences. God's dividing line is drawn right through the middle of our hearts and as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

"When the state forbids what God commands, or commands what God forbids, they must be resisted."
That belongs on a tee shirt.

We need more robust pastors like this throughout the USA and the world -- good expository preaching! Amen!

[kimjohnson]

O I thank you so much for your biblical teaching I could dance in the street. My church Elders have now told us we can't sing praises to God in our church because our state says no. NO WAY! I refuse to not sing my praise to my God whose love is better than life to me. O thank you Pastor for saying what I know in my heart through the Word but am not gifted to put it all together like you did. O I thank God for you and this sermon.

I sure would love to hear this message proclaimed in Canada especially churches that have bowed. Thank you for preaching Christ as King and Ruler over all.

[wendyraptureready]

Amen, this is confirming. I've been feeling so suppressed in these days. We need a teachers that have courage to stand against such oppression and tyranny. Thank you, God bless you🙏

[joshuafeist]

We have been studying 1Peter, Roman's, Daniel, Jeremiah, Acts, The Gospels...

ALL of them undeniably say to be subject to Emperors and governor and EVERYONE!... Accept when it directly defies God's word.

I would be more than happy to discuss it.

The Bible is clear.

[randomfish]

Yes! I love a pastor with a spine who will firmly and proudly declare Christ above all and call out/resist corrupt leaders and policies. I just found your channel and my life is richer for it. You are a true gem! Keep it up and God bless you, brother!

Romans 12:3 NKJV - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty

[juhall]

This is my new mantra: DEFIANCE AGAINST TYRANNY IS OBEDIENCE TO GOD

[angela]

Pure fire! Live or die...I will not bow to Caesar.

[gareth]

I wish I could play this sermon on loudspeaker over my church!

[firingallcylinders]

I've had more than one person quote Romans 13 to me regarding lockdowns. I'm sorry but Romans 13 is not a license for the state to do whatever it wants. I don't know when that verse started to mean do whatever the government says.

[MrShdes]

Amazing and inspiring to see righteous men standing up and obeying god against all odds.

[korylinn]

Coming back to this sermon today. It seems especially relevant after yesterday’s announcement.

[tonymattei]

If there ever ends up being a revival in America, you better believe Apologia will be front line and center along side church’s like Grace Community Church.

[kawikah]

Rebellion against tyranny IS certainly obedience to God! Amen!!!
