Pastor Cleetus on TBN's Praise The Lord - Preaching Part 1

[clients26]

Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

Matthew 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Matthew 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Matthew 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. ( DID JESUS SAID JOHN WAS NOT ELIAS ? THAT IS BLASPHEMY

[clients26]

WHAT MADNESS IS THIS

[SourKIWI177]

I saw this guy on Miami Ink and I just think it is SO amazing to see a man like this covered in tattoos preaching about the love of God.

He is amazing.

[EmmanuelSalon]

taxmino, that does not make sense

[ravenstudios7]

LA IGLESIA DE CRISTO NO PUEDE DETENER LA GRACIA QUE DIOS DERRAMA A DIARIO SOBRE SU PUEBLO.

DELIVERANCE BIBLE CHURCH...COLOMBIA PRESENTE!!!!

[CaseyCovenant]

I love how there is no legalistic spirit upon him at all... the Holy Spirit is all over him... =)

[jasonthane1]

the message is right on

[dragonkill1010]

wow



[DBSpy1]

So the guy loves religion,maybe more than God. Since I cant see his heart or mine I have know ideal whats number one with him. I would like to know if he is sick,and if he is, how much life insurance TBN,Benny Hinn ,and so on bought to make a buck off him.

[ohmygennnx3]

all because he has tattoos dosent mean hes a bad guy , that was his past . we shouLdnt judge anyone for that . who are we to judge , just because we dont have marks on our body showing our past dosent mean were the perfect ones . pLease , if you have nothing good to say or wanna say something insuLting , it isnt needed here

[dilldogg]

@ohmygennnx3 he actually got those tattoos for Jesus. cleetus says each tattoo he has used to lead somone to Christ

[CaseyCovenant]

@ohmygennnx3 He got his tattoos after he was born again...

[pwt2188L]

You silly goose! Tattoos were use for pagan worship.

[ithouston]

Cleetus, you rock brother. I think what your doing is awesome reaching a disillusioned crowd and teaching them Christ's love. God Bless and keep up the good work.

[Shadowlit001]

fuck god

[MultiGnar]

@Shadowlit001 hey buddy, you can shut it... you wanna mess with him, you can mess with me

[Shadowlit001]

@MultiGnar

What, are you going to burn me at the stake bitch? Yeah, didn't think so.

[Shadowlit001]

@MultiGnar

I use the noobtube so you'd die almost instantly

[calhithespian]

did he talk about scriptures at all????

[CelesAura]

Praise the Lord!

[mikedaygo]

This guy is satan himself

[MultiGnar]

@mikedaygo oh and why would you say that ?

[MultiGnar]

@mikedaygo why ? because he has tattoo... ? dont be stupid, im 17 and im getting a tat on my chest in big currsive writting saying *lord be my light*

[crAshN4L]

@MultiGnar put Lord in capitals

[MultiGnar]

@crAshN4L i refuse to type that entire sentence over just to put a capital L

[flashbak2theyayo]

this guy is awesome...i hate church...not religion, not the idea of god....but this guy has a certain charisma about him

[taxmino]

So then who do you seek after...this Guy or GOD?

Whos charisma do you seek..Jesus Christ or cleetus?

[flashbak2theyayo]

@taxmino im just saying the way he preaches draws you in thats all...

[taxmino]

I hear you..But be drawn to Jesus not the guy..also the church is mentioned in scripture..i know some of its past is nasty but dont hate it as a whole..if you disagree with one go the next...The church is the body of Christ..

[flashbak2theyayo]

@taxmino oh dont get me wrong i am drawn to god...but this guy preaches in such a way it would actually draw me back to church..i am aware that the church is in the bible...my problem is not with that is the people in it...they are uppity...and im not denying god by not goin...as many people think...just an alternative christian lifestyle...you dont need to go to church to be a "good" christian

[taxmino]

There is no such thing as a good christian..the only thing that makes you good or righteous is the blood of Christ..your good works are like filthy rags of woman menstruation. ..The bible says that a member of the body can-not be by itself...i am sure you heard the verses..The lone ranger attitude will eventually run out of steam...

[4thandinches]

Great. A tattoo-laden preacher with gay earrings that has the answers to life. How pathetic. Unfortunate waste of a life for young, intelligent sounding man to preach on the evil money grubbing TBN network.

[zvenzzon]

Who are you to judge him?

[Dejavu12321]

He doesnt need to be asked to show. Where ever two or more are present in his name he is there. I wouldn't tell my kids they where going to be something unless I knew it was absolutely true. We don't know when our very lives will be taken and if someones future will unfold like you say it is. I can understand telling them it's your desire for them but i wouldn't go as far as to say its a sure thing unless you know god told you. Anyways... the other point was good though. no savior = hell forever

[gothgirl16]

I shall see you pastor at the Unified Underground this year!

[ilikecatslolz]

You see I understand the whole if there is a god he would help people in africa. The thing it is because of our own hateful and despicable hearts that things like that happen. We are born to be evil. You never have to teach a kid to lie. So all of the evil is a result from us. What God does isn't just to save us from hell but to go out and save the world from it's own evil and hatred. I believe in a God that cares about the people in africa. I believe in a God that cares about you.

[sandrajeantaylor]

the problem i have in understanding responses like yours is you state that we were born to be evil and all evil is a result of us. yet G-d states, "i form the light and create darkness: i make peace and create evil: i the LORD do all these things. isaiah 45:7

[manawanui]

Do you realy think...that if there is a god...he is helping you with your little problems while millions of people dying in africa of hunger while praying to god everey day?!

If god is real..and he is doing that...its a crewl man and i will not believe in that!

I can not reach the idea he is doing that so i dont think there is a god.

I hope i dont offend someone, but i think its good to speak about this even when someone have another opinion.

[DavidSlagter]

WHAHAHAHA TBN PRAISE THE LORD IS FCUKING GAY! I watched it once and it's frickin hilarious but retarded: Praise the Lord..... by calling us and giving us your money! Whahaha people who actually buy this crap should be banned from this world.

[ruthbuffalo]

why so we judge so much in the bible Jesus said that if they are not against us then they are for us ionly pray that he is for real and HIs guide comes from the Lord, not man Preach on brother be real

[Slimzy12]

To be honest to you, appearance is not what God looks 4, if this man heart is right with God, he is tapping the kingdom of God. thats IF

[xxhehasrisenxx]

Hey Cleetus, i was wondering how i can reach you or go to your church. Let me kno, go to my page. Thanx and god bless you

[jessprof]

i got my Jesus portrait done by a guy who was hammered and i asked him if he was a Christian and he was like, "farthest thing from it". later on a deliverance minister told me the artist dedicated me satan when he put that tattoo on me, kinda' like a blood covenant. does this make any sense???

[Speed6633]

he understands young people! its good!

[okhmanpi]

Leviticus 19:28 Romans 12:2 .If you love Jesus obey Him

[coalo5]

James 4:11 Romans 12:2 If YOU love Jesus Obey HIM

[ZeroWhiteNothing]

One verse before talks about cutting the hair and the beard. Oh, yes , and in revelation 19: 16 is mentioned: On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

You must study bible. Leviticus talks about necromancy, not about tatoo.

[XLyricsMasterX]

Yes that is true..

although that verse is not for our time..it's just for israel at the time it was written ....in Leviticus it also says we can't eat meat,but we still do it..those verses don't pertain to our generation...Christ gave us a greater law which is Love

[dreadedsonofzion]

true that preachers preach that God is a non-discriminating God yet there is a great deal of fear within the hearts of these people that the message of Christ will be contaminated by these tattooed Christians or if somebody with such appearance comes into a traditional church their presence is just plain unacceptable. this caused pastor cleetus' desire to start a church that would cater to the needs of these outcasts. i believe that the Lord is using him in a mighty way.

[dreadedsonofzion]

in reality folks the traditional and even modern church and its congregation had been brainwashed in the mentality that one should subject himself into a stereotype by such he will be totally accepted in a church.

[Slimzy12]

His image dose not give a good view to me, as a pastor message is your flesh saying to we the people. I think his view is trying to say it okay to have tattoos, and all of this. This can be really destructive to the young minds.............

[pigpunk58]

This can be really destructive to the young minds

it can be?¿ u should see the other video the deliverance church then ull understand that god is here 4 all of us even if we look different...

[cottoncandyaddict]

if anyone is ever in texas, please come o Deliverance Bible Church in Hurst, or DBC Fort Worth! it would be amazing! praise God.

[FadingLullaby]

This really reached me today. This is an amazing message. Keep going man... I just pray that people that hear this are willing to open their hearts to Jesus instead of judging. God has a purpose for everyone and fortunately his opinion is the only one that truly matters.

[icegrrrl]

yo're going to brazil someday guys? I love your job, GOD Bles you man

[Cucutea]

His image is real contradicting becasue a christian should want to be unlike the world and tatoos are worldly but the GUY IS PREACHING THE LORDS PRECIOUS WORD. AND I BELIEVE GOD DOES WORK THRU HIM.

[KyleMusicMan]

but his tattoos are not worldly. they alllll glorify god.

[eddie7314]

what's more worldly a three piece suit or tatoo"s ? there's more worldly people that dress in the so called unworldly dress than people w/tat's , religion creates a focus on the outside appearance, (whats acceptable in the eye's of men) but Jesus came to receive everyone who turn's to Him from there Heart, we as Christians put God in a box to accommodate what we think is right, there is no WORLDLY dress because everyone dress's like the world.

[munkytat2]

Gloria a DEUS!!!

[jeffryjerk]

Ha just look at the inward things? how illogical is that?. The holiness and spirit of God, doesnt just manifest itself on the inside. Ok maybe hes a good man but inward holiness is also displayed outwardly.Your bodies a temple of God. Therefore dont defile it look and read your Bible. dont debate my comments study and read the word

[EDDxclusive]

this is really great the word of God has no a "tie" has power and revelation and the heart is the bigger than a tie this is really good it hits me

[kohelethster]

Good man

[InTheHaunted]

Actually he had no tattoos before he became a Christian, he got them all afterwards.

[theechosenone]

If you have ever heard the guy, you will all realise that every tattoo he has is a way to reach out to the people of the world...

Stop giving him grief over the fact that he has tattoos and piercings...

He has got a cause (to reach the lost) and he is doing something about that cause... hes changing the world...

STOP looking at the outward appearance...just look at the amazing things he is doing for GOD!!!

Peace.Love.Blessings....Nicole

[Delila3]

Instead of arguing about piercings and tattoos, why don't we just listen to the word of God? There are plenty of ministers out there spreading the word and they all work for the same God. They are part of one & only body, the body of Christ. Please learn how to covers the parts you don't like the most but do not point at them because they r still part of the body. Keep the good work Pastor.

[Ovomaltine3]

it makes me mad how churches these days only say faith and have this shallow preaching shit...i wish they teach on prove for the bible cause there is a lot of evidence but people over look it...i'm not following God, infact i hate god and this shit but i go to a private christian school so yeah i do believe in a god

[pooptixcacal]

saludos desde VALLADOLID; YUCATAN,

MEXICO

[logics21]

i'm ok with the tatoos, he might have gotten them before but what about the ear pierce,

:S, come on he is a pastor

[TheKyle]

The tattoos don't bother you but the plugs do? Get your shit together, mate. Don't give me any "vanity" talk either, considering all the people who dress up for their once-a-week hierarchy class. Otherwise it's just your useless opinion.

[logics21]

you stupid, tatoos do bother me but if he got them before he became christian than its ok,

don't comment about christian stuff with words like "s**" ur comment does sound useless

[TheKyle]

Did you actually complete some form of higher education? Otherwise your grammar makes my head explode. Telling me "you stupid" and spelling the word "tatoos" and "ur" only proves the shallow waters of intelligence I'm dealing with here. Pathetic, mindless sheep. Go kill yourself.

[logics21]

your comments dont' bother me, to me u dont' count dont' even bother replying,

its the internet, u don't take ur time to write perfectly stupid.

if my grammar makes ur head explode, that means ur are not capable of understanding, i wonder whY? oh yeah ur stupid redarded with too much time in ur hands asshole.

[TheKyle]

My my, how very un-Christian of you to say such things. I didn't know that the internet meant you're supposed to incorrectly spell the simplist of words and sound like a moron. Must mean "ur stupid redarded". Now go play in traffic, cuntwaffle.

[Galatians2v20Alex]

great message, if he got those tattoos before he got saved then I thank God for his life, but if he got them after I hope he will learn from his ways Leviticus 19:28 "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh...nor tattoo any marks on you..." I still thank God for his life, he's touching lifes would the Word of God and thats what matters in the end. God Bless you all

[Galatians2v20Alex]

I'm sorry, my comment was incorrect, I took it out of context because the Law has changed now, but I still think that tattoos are wrong according to Scripture, if someone said they were gunna cut them self because they wanted the scare, that would be wrong, a tattoo is the same, its just done in a neater way, it cuts the skin and injects ink inside, it damages ur body, thats y its painful and some people bleed, but because its fashion people over look that. God bless

[RK5000]

Then again, I eat bacon.

[oasiejiun]

Please stop . Let God judge if this is right or wrong. tattoo is just tattoo. every thing on this world can be blasphemous or not. you can curse some one by tattoos, and you can praise some by tattoos.

[ax1productions]

1 Timothy 4:1

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the later times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

[lutichris]

you'll know a tree by the fruit that it bears. dont bother telling me i didnt word it correctly or misused that statement lest you prove your own ignorance

[blkdoll757]

listen to the message... dont look at his tattoos.

[jayamores]

Preach on Pastor....

[tlthe5th]

I would say by reading the Law that getting tattoos isn't something God condones Leviticus 19:28 kjv. Someone may say, "We don't follow the law anymore" which would raise a huge debate but quite simply, why should we disobey the law? Why mark ourselves with Tattoos. God didn't bring us into the world with them. Is it a way to show your "godliness" by having scriptures tattooed to our bodies? God doesnt teach this doctrine. And it causes strife. Answer, dont get tats once you become a Christian.

[joel97dale]

What do you think about body peircings?

[tlthe5th]

I don't remember reading in the Word, "And Jesus went and got His nose pierced. And his disciples did the same." Bobby 6:8 lol

So, i mean, it's being idle, not redeeming the time, it could be a stumbling block to people. there's just no reason for it. We are the temple of God so why pierce it?

[sherman190]

It's funny that you used the nose for an example. I reccomend that you read Genesis 24:22 in the New Living Translation version of the Bible. It reads, "Then at last, when the camels had finished drinking, he gave her a gold ring for her nose and two large gold bracelets for her wrists." Our bodies indeed are the temple of God. God can use these (if He calls one to do so) to minister to the younger generation. While God looks at the heart, man looks at the outter image.

[tlthe5th]

We dont ned to conform to unsaved people to reach them. thats a myth. the Spirit of God alone breaks the heart in pieces and God alone opens the eyes. I'm done : ) Take care.

[joel97dale]

but who says that only unsaved people have piercings or tattoos? It is just another channle that God can/will/ and is using as a way to reach people (to a degree). A tattoo isn't going to save someone's life, as you said... "the Spirit of God alone breaks the heart in pieces and God alone opens the eyes." No truth is beyond that, but I fully support tattoos and piercings (if God is calling someone to use them for His glory). Take care and enjoy God as your treasure.

Brother in Christ,

Joel

[bethanphetamine]

In the old testament, things were different, but read I Timothy 2:9, which is the new testament aka new will.

[kennyfrontosa]

hey tithe5th, are you saying that anyone with piercing's or tattoos will never be able to find christ.

[hgary2003]

Body peircing saved my life ~ Thank You Jesus!

[AntisocialMennonite]

Jesus didn't go to preach to whiny spoiled "youth culture" with allowances and piercings. Nevertheless, if he can do any good, that's fine...

[stevanpnk]

Great sermon

[blakeshowalter]

Amen!

God is an imaginary friend for adults.

[Cucutea]

Awesome anointing? Pastor C. first time seeing you really like the message. But I had a question. Im guessing your image is from your past. But I wanted to know do you promote this to young children? Do you think young children should be getting tatoos and piercings?

[schmidtie93]

Maybe that just the way he wants to look. Just because hes a Christian, doesn't mean that he cant have tattoos, and piercings. It really bugs me when people judge people just because of the way they look.

[RoseJamison]

I love this!! I would love going to his church. Need any help down there, Pastor C????

[smilegrace]

move out here, and come!

[SarahTorbay]

Hey dude,

You are sssooo awesome!!

And i LOVE you tatoos!!!

They are so AWESOME!!!!

And ur preaching has an AWESOME ANOINTING!

=D

God Bless

<3

x- Ducky

[CrazyMalluGuy]

According to Old Testment Pastor its Wrong to have tatoo on ur body , and u know wat a man of God Should be diff from everyone ...

there is nothing in preaching but there is a lot in each of Ours personality Live according to bibile man

[eaglesview888]

CrazyMalluGuy, Pastor was saved out of sin, the Tatoo's just show his past. He is saved by grace, the Word says there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus....God loves you Bru

[CrazyMalluGuy]

Eaglesview888 Man plz serch for pastor cleetus in miami ink ... wat u think is that his past or present ?

is this true about ur pastor man... i was a strong hindu back home. i left everything for lord jesus christ and when i see all this ..

God Bless u man ...

[eaglesview888]

Yeh CrazyMalluGuy, You are correct. I live in Africa and do not know this Pastor. But when I lesten to him I feel he is born again, he is used by God in a different way to you and me. I also am a bit worried about the tatto thing, but hey God does things in strange ways sometimes....Think of how Jesus rubbed Mud in a blind mans eyes !!!!! so he could be healed.......strage but True. God is using this guy to reach people You and I will never get to meet.

Bless you bru

[smilegrace]

Christian tattoos are one of the easiest and best ways to witness boldly(and without even saying a word). they're also amazing for personal encouragement.

[telethon123]

According to the Old Testament it's wrong to wear clothing made of two different kinds of cloth - it's a couple of verses away from the prohibition on tattooing. I take it you only wear 100% cotton at all times?

[basschink]

from what i understand, those are Moses's laws and are applicable only to the Jews, not Christians. The 10 commandments are God's law and are applicable to everyone.

[telethon123]

There were no Christians when the 10 Commandments were written. There weren't even any Christians when Jesus was alive. People really like to pick and choose which parts of the Old Testament apply to them, but it's intellectually dishonest. Either all of it applies or none of it does.

[Bassrocker61]

ok i just want to clear things up christians do follow many of the jewish laws and tattoos are one of those things however it was at a time when the way they did tattoos they could be infected so easily they are more ok with it now

[meatwidow]

Blessings pastor!

From Mexico.

[thatonecoolkiddo]

I think these people should come to DBC and let loose with us and worhip openly without fear of embarassment. What do you think Bonez?

[xbonesofdenymenotx1]

I LOVE YA PASTOR!

[PastorJustinT]

this dude rocks
