Views: 3 - Free Vid: Can Christians Pray Away THE COMING WRATH OF GOD? - by Submitted on Jul 14, 2022 from James LowranceThe short answer to the question I pose in my video title is NO! We CANNOT pray away God's coming wrath, which has been fully prophesied in His Word. It would be very dangerous to accuse God of specifically stating coming events, that we, as Christians - His created people, can somehow put a ...

Do I still suffer from this emotional neurosis today? Yes, but to a much lesser degree than when I was younger (now age-59, this year of 2022). Anxiety, whether chronic (generalized but strong) ...
Views: 35 - Free Vid: Calling the Biblical GENESIS GAP False is Itself FALLACIOUS - Why? - by Submitted on Jun 22, 2022 from James LowranceAs a born-again, Gentile man in Jesus Christ, I have always read English Translations of the Holy Bible, my favorite being the KJV. I do however (rarely) look at 'direct-from-original-texts' versions, regarding some Biblical Doctrines. One such doctrine, is "The Genesis Gap", aka "The Gap ...
Views: 32 - Free Vid: The CORRECTORS Calling WORD OF GOD MINISTERS "Unqualified" - by Submitted on Jun 22, 2022 from James LowranceFalse "Christian" movements cannot in any way dictate to others, as to how they should minister or determine whether or not they are "qualified" to present Word of God Sermons or to witness for their Christian Faith (1 Peter 3:15). However, I do believe those who teach/preach, should have ...
Views: 32 - Free Video: BEWARE IT'S COMING FOR YOU! - by Submitted on Jun 21, 2022 from James LowranceThere is a monstrous thing lurking within spiritual darkness and it is coming with increasing power for you, me and everyone! We must keep watch and not allow it to devour us! Is it flight-of-fancy or sensationalism to give warning about this satanic spirit? If we believe what the Holy ...
Views: 31 - Free Video - A PRIDEFUL LOOK Has Become the Norm for Many Ministers - by Submitted on Jun 06, 2022 from James LowranceIn the Teaching I present from the Word of God (Holy Bible), I talk about a look of sinful pride (condescension). It is important to understand that a look of intensity or one of assuredness regarding what a minister is saying, is not the same thing. A "prideful look"; one of seven things God ...

This "Targum" was a translation by Ezra and other scribes, after the Babylonian conquest over Judea. This verse 2 of Genesis ...
Views: 40 - Video - SEXUAL EXHIBITING AND LUSTING Have Destroyed Our Nation - by Submitted on Jun 06, 2022 from James LowranceMy title describes what I speak/teach on in this video - re: sexual sin, that is not necessarily physically perpetrated. My great concern, as should be that of all Christians, is that it is far too late for this area of sin (e.g., porn, seriously indecent attire, and adultery of the heart) to be ...
Views: 46 - Free Vid: Fascinating Biblical Facts about ANGELS - by Submitted on May 17, 2022 from James LowranceThis Bible Teaching is kind of a summation of the history regarding God's created beings called "Angles". Those that are Holy (at least 2/3), are ministering spirits God sends to perform righteous deeds for Him, while those who rebelled in the distant past, have become unholy, wicked and ...
Views: 46 - Free Vid: OUTRAGEOUSLY BEHAVING CHRISTIANS When We Should Turn Away! - by Submitted on May 17, 2022 from James LowranceWe will be persecuted by "the world", as Christians, meaning those who are not for Jesus Christ but who are against him. This is where the term "anti-Christ comes from. There are, however, fellow Christians who will also persecute us, which is a definition of them being "false converts to ...

These are "The War of Armageddon and "The Gog-Magog War". Some Hebrew scholars state that in the Old Testament, the second war I ...
Views: 58 - Free Vid: Holy Bible Says Our Lives Have MEANING AND PURPOSE - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceEven with the near mountain-moving love we have for our loved ones, being first of all our children and spouse, people can still question life's meaning and purpose. If we look at the Holy Bible, however, 1 John 4:8 says: - "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." (KJV). Even with ...
Views: 59 - Free vid: DO NOT BLAME GOD for Temptations or Tragedies - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceOften, people have a disposition toward blaming God for any bad things that happen in their lives. The fact is that good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. The reverse is true as well, but we need to learn from the Holy Bible, the fact that we live in a fallen ...
Views: 59 - Free Vid: Knowing Death and Evil Exist Turns Some Unbelievers to God - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceInterestingly, some people who claim to hold atheistic views or those of agnosticism, will begin to pay attention to spiritual things, once they experience something in the unseen evil category. They may also hear about an evil event happening to others they know or from an otherwise reliable ...

Views: 58 - Free Vid: More Regarding FALSE MINISTRIES Please Beware of Them - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceThis was one of my most difficult teaching messages in the nearly 40 years I have been teaching (this is year-2022). Why? Because I have great fear of reverence regarding the warning of others about other ministers/ministries that are based upon false foundations and false teaching. I'm small ...
Views: 61 - Free Vid: With CHRONIC UNFORGIVENESS HELL is Not Far Away - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceIn this video, I talk about Satan's trick, through his many cohorts (devils, demons, evil spirits), to cause us to become bitter in this life due to evil things OTHERS do to us. On the obverse side, I also talk about unforgiveness people may have against us for something WE HAVE DONE to offend ...
Views: 76 - Free Vid: God Will Judge Unfair Stigmas Toward People - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceA stigma means to place an unfair judgement on a person and is a practice strongly akin to gossip. There are innumerable ways to stigmatize people. For example, one might say of a male hairdresser, that he is a sissy for being employed at a lady's beauty shop, when he may be as full of vitality ...
Views: 58 - Free Vid: JESUS SAID A House Divided Will Not Stand - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceThis video is similar in content to my book titled - "When Hurtful Things Happen in Christian Churches" (Published year-2010) What does it mean for a house or kingdom to be divided?

Views: 59 - Free Vid: Satan is Turning Up Warfare Against Us - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceBecause these are the literal "end times", also sometimes called "the last days" (also a Biblical term), my belief which agrees with that of many others, is that Satan has TURNED UP THE HEAT of warfare on people (so-to-speak). He and his very large grid of cohorts - called devils, demons and ...
Views: 68 - Free Vid: BACKSLIDING a Dangerous Practice Christians Must Avoid - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceDoes the Holy Bible say people who become saved in Jesus Christ (born again - made new creatures in him), will never sin during their Christian lifetimes on Earth? No, in fact it tells Christians that if they say they have no sin, they are lying. But there is ongoing forgiveness-provision. 1 ...
Views: 56 - Free Vid: Ministries Saying THEY ARE PERFECT and All Others are Errored - by Submitted on Apr 20, 2022 from James LowranceThis video is on very serious things. In short, ministries who are exposing others as being false, are now making it clear that they are "perfect" in their expositions, teachings and preached sermons. They have gone too far, and their "reproof" of other ministries has become a nitpicking of ...
