  1. I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19…….folks these days are getting darker and Christ is coming soon and if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel……John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me…… the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

  2. Thanks Ps Carter, it's true, I'm learning more about my weakness every day of this pandemic. I'm a recovering addict, full of pride and vanity. When I think I stand, God shows me I'm being carried, our church (building) is shut down, I'm forced to go to work, I have very little fellowship with people, and yet God is with me, caring, admonishing, reproving, teaching me. I've had several times of unplugging from social media because our enemy means to confuse us with an overload of so much information. So 'My peace I leave with you' is the comfort of my soul. Thank you, and thank You LORD, You never leave me nor forsake us, as You have promised. God bless & stay safe.
    With Love

  3. Hallelujah! We need stand together calling upon others of the coming of Christ. We must march out and call out the lost into God’s light! We are to obey Jesus call to preach the gospel and bring the lost to salvation. May God bless you all!

  4. Fasting isn't that difficult. Start slowly. Eat less every day. I haven't eaten in a month. Did a 50 day fast last fall. Lots of info on here about it. Just do it.

  5. Pastor Conlon, Today you're talking to your congregation asking if they are disappointed in their own reaction to a crisis. What about the example being set by their church? Why is Times Square Church Closed? How can anyone draw courage from a church that is demonstrating fear; either fear of a sickness, which even the baby disciples of the first century church would have just healed..(Acts 4 & 5) or fear of the laws of man, ALSO which they refused to fear; or fear of anything at all – since fear is that which Joshua named 'rebellion' in Numbers 14:9. And fear is that which God told His people belongs to HIM alone (Isaiah 8:11 – 15) Fear that God said would lead him to CONFOUND his leaders who demonstrated it (Jeremiah 1:17) Sir,.. Many years ago, you gave a sermon called: 'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE".. In which sermon you implored .."God don’t let my sense of duty be less for your kingdom. I want to be among those who are not running away from the conflict, but running INTO it." I pray God that you change course; open the doors to the church, get out of your house and comfort, and lead the Church of Christ in America in a FORWARD CHARGE for the one True God. In Christ's fearless name, Victoria Bingham

  6. Pastor Colon, God Bless you! I just love you I cant thank you enough for all you do you inspire me soooooo much and give me lots of encouragement .

I pray you are doing good pastor Colon the Corona Virus is soooooo scary Pastor Colon but God is with us all. God! Is soooooo good! God Bless you Pastor Colon and Be safe.

  7. Luke 21:12

    “But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake.
    In fullness this is refering to the days of the Great Tribulation, but the first fruits of this was, and is experienced by the followers of Christ. And it is made clear that the disciples thought it for their lifetimes. Were it not explicitly stated by Jesus, the disciples would also infer it because John the Baptist was imprisoned , not to mention many other Old Testament prophets. So Jesus absolutely spoke of imprisonment to the disciples.

  8. The stage is and has been being set for the antiChrist, this is the message we miss consistently.
    Matthew 24:3-4
    The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
    3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
    4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.

  9. Maybe there is a reason God has closed the door to the Vatican, Mosques and all churches of the world. STOP and think about this. God is in this folks!

    Maybe it’s because he wants YOU to tune into him by turning off pastors and religious leaders, not tune in online.

    Crack your Bible and let him show you great and mighty things you have never known.

    Passover A possible solution for such a time as this. It’s written in your Bible.

    For God to hear and answer, we as believers must be willing to obey.

    What did Israel (the example) to the New Testament church do when there was a plague in the land?

    Those who obeyed God’s instruction and trusted him kept Passover at a specific month, day and time each year. (Exodus 12) and it saved their lives. The plague passed over them. This was to be kept by Israel from year to year, FOREVER as a memorial.

    Jesus our example showed Israel (New Testament Church) a new way to partake of Passover at his death.

    The month, day and time has never changed, the 14th of Abib at evening. (Read Lev 23)
    Not Sunday each year, which is not written in scripture.

    Interesting, God shut the doors to churches at this time of year, this is by no accident.

    Luke 22:1 (Passover/unleavened bread). (To be kept at home at evening)
    Read Luke 22 starting at verse 13. Jesus is the King of Israel, our Lord and Saviour. He is a Jew (Israel) and we belong to him.

    Jesus did not do away with Passover, he showed us how to partake in a different way, no longer sacrificing an animal, but partaking of the New Covenant, at home, with a meal, with bitter herbs, with the cup, fruit of the vine, the (blood of Jesus) and unleavened bread (body of Christ), communion, and a foot washing as a memorial each year.

    Paul the apostle to the Gentiles said in 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be Ye followers of me, even as I am of Christ.

    God’s instructions to the Gentiles, after the cross, through Paul.

    Paul followed the teaching and example of Jesus.

    Now read 1 Corinthians 11:24
    Paul is instructing the Gentiles to follow him on how to take Passover (not Easter).
    His words are almost verbatim the teaching of Jesus in Luke 22, the same teaching before and after the cross.
    This is true doctrine, it is written in scripture, spoke out of the mouth of Jesus and witnessed by Peter to the Jews and Paul to the Gentiles, unlike Easter.

    Read 1 Corinthians 10 Paul warns the Gentiles, of fornication or idolatry (for practicing things not written in scripture.) it even warns as an example of Israel’s idolatry in the desert, where 23 thousand died in one day.
    In 1 Cor. 11:27-30, it even says this is why some are sick among you (believers) and even sleep (die).

    Easter, Good Friday, Palm Sunday, Lent or Ash Wednesday, are not written in scripture, therefore they are false doctrines taught by religious leaders, and when you participate in them you are committing idolatry or fornication, all in the name of Jesus.

    These false teachings were never spoken out of the mouth of Jesus, taught or practiced by Jesus or the apostles in the New Testament and there is no witness. Therefore, it’s false doctrine.

    Who are You going to believe, the Bible or religious leaders and Pastors?

    Is God giving us a chance to repent, even churches are going to be closed at Easter all over the world. How often has that happened in history?

    Read 2 Chronicles 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
    Noice he’s speaking to God’s people, not the world?
    14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

    All Israel, both Jew and Gentiles one in Christ need to repent and turn back to God, and observe his feasts in their seasons and teachings, so the plague will pass over our temples (bodies) and our house (families).

    This year Passover begins April 8th at evening. Wed-Thur- evening (1) day.
    A memorial, meal with unleavened bread and fruit of the vine (communion), with bitter herbs and after the meal foot washing (John).

    Unleavened bread the next day, the 15th. Thur-Fri, evening (2) day.
    Make it a family project to clean and remove all leavened products (yeast) from your home.
    Yeast represents “Sin”, Hidden sin of the heart. It’s got to go!
    Make unleavened bread (tortillas) with Matzah (flour-corn) and water. Eat unleavened bread for (7) days (type of fast, written in the Bible).
    This day we are to meet with believers for a church service to worship God, give thanks, etc. (family at home this year).
    Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am also.
    We are to gave a gathering on the last day as well.

    It also represents removal of all the false teaching from religious leaders, we acquire through the year. Matt. 16:6, 11, 1

    Firstfruits – Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, Fri-Sat-evening (3) days and 3 nights.
    With a meal at evening. (Hen and fruit of the vine (Lev 23:1-)

    Jesus was our example and Paul the apostle of Jesus taught and practice the same message as the King of Israel, our Lord and Saviour.

    The Bible has the answer.

    Participate in the feast of Passover/unleavened bread, and first fruits this year to ensure the plagues of the land will not come upon you or your house.

    The pandemic of 1918 seemed to be over in the summer months and then it came back like a vengeance. I hope history does not repeat itself.

    Read Deuteronomy 4 (verse 30), during tribulations and plagues in latter days, then start at verse 1 and read through the chapter. The gospel in the Old Testament.

    Great insurance.

  10. I believe THE ALMIGHTY really uses pastor Conlon as a true teacher of THE FATHERS SCRIPTURES. I’m thankful for sermons like these that humble my heart and remind me just how retchid and filthy I am not because his intentions are bad but to bring us closer to faith and trusting THE FATHER AND SAVIOR cus we can accomplish nothing without the grace of THE FATHER. Thank You Pastor, please keep the way THE ALMIGHTY leads you. Bless you, your family, your congregation, and human kind that may find ourselves in the graciousness of THE SAVIOR. Love to all you Brothers and Sisters. May faith lead us to victory over adversity in YESHUAS NAME!

  11. Thank you Pastor Carter for this beautiful message. I miss David Wilkerson so very much as I watched him on my black and white tv as a little girl, then later got to know his best friend Henry Gruver who helped him start teen challenge. Henry was very special to me and we lost him recently. You are the one pastor God allows me to follow and He has limited me and cleaned house in my life. God warned me as His watchman to warn the people over a year ago we must deal with our ugly and if we did not it would manifest intensify and we would be forced to deal with our ugly. WE ARE THERE! Ugly is surfacing everywhere myself included. We think we have dealt with them but we have not we have buried our heads in the sands or like me there was so much ugly God is still surfacing it all. God be with us! We must repent the kingdom of heaven is at hand! Thank you thank you thank you for always bringing truth. We have way too many people believing in Christ consciousness and it’s a lie from the serpent. The lines are being drawn in the sand and we must put our money where our mouth is. I had a dream with Peter all night long years ago and now I see why.

  12. There is no doubt in my mind that this message has come from the Lord! Thank you so much Pastor Carter Conlon, God knows what I needed to hear! You just don’t know the struggle I have had for days, but glory to God for those Spirit filled servants that speak Gods word and not just some made up sermon of men! Thank you for this encouraging word from our father!!!!! Glory to God!

  13. Pastor you a telling the truth. You are very honest. Thanks .We cannot do it, in our own strength. Jesus knew we could not do it ourselves. Thank you Jesus taking the weight of the cross for us.

  14. Beloved Pastor Carter Conlon, Friend, Faithful Servant Of Jesus Christ, God Almighty, And Myself The Comforter Counselor, And
    Spirit Of TRUTH: Thank You For A Very Truthful Sermon That Needs To Be Preached. Amen.

  15. Again A GREAT FALLING AWAY IS ALREADY UNDERWAY…TRUTH. I Pray Ya'll Endure Until The End For Ya'll WILL HAVE TOO. It
    Is The War. Again This Is The END DAY Biblical War Raging On. It WILL NEVER GO BACK TO WHAT IT ONCE WAS; End Day Rages On. If Ya'll Aren't Growing Stronger Then Open A Different Door; Or A Window. Do Something DIFFERENT. Amen. Again
    Ya'll Who Are Truly Reborn ARE Children Of The MOST HIGH GOD; Yet Still To DAILY Pick Up Your Cross Of Self Denial, And Follow In Jesus Christ's Footsteps, And Continue On. Amen. Thank You Dearest Carter For Another Wonderful Sermon. Truthful, Transparent, And Needed To Speak Truths Of Your Own Failings To Help Strengthen Each One Of You. Also A GREAT REMINDER That No One Can Do ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF GOD. Amen.

  16. I WILL NOT Come Back To This Church. You Carter Conlon Cherry Pick The Bible As You See Fit. A Woman IS NOT ALLOWED
    To Be A Pastor PERIOD!! I Gave Enough Fore Warnings To Ya'll On This Issue; And Waffled Myself Still Not In Total, And Literal
    Perfection Yet; But Now I AM. Again To Go On Your Feelings, And Cherry Pick The Bible Is To Thumb your Nose At GOD; And
    The Holy Bible, And The Word Of GOD On This VERY Real Biblical Issue. A Woman Is To Remain Quiet, And Submissive In Church. A Woman May Sometimes Teach Other Women, And Children At Home With Bible Studies, And SOMETIMES In A
    Church, But Leave The Pastoral Preaching To Men!! NO Deaconesses Either!! For This Is A Woman Being Deceived, And Wanting To
    Usurp The Authority Of A Man PERIOD!! In Heaven There Will Be No Bond Or Slave, No Male Or Female. Yet On Earth This Is
    THE TRUTH. I Am Done Coddling Anyone Who Still Wants To Thumb Your Nose At GOD; And The Holy Godly Bible.

  17. My biggest problem is that, I'm always asking God to help me but, when the time comes to accept His help; I want to do it my way instead. I know that doesn't make any sense at all but, I do that a lot more often than I should and I suffer needlessly; because of it. Others around suffer as well. Please keep me in prayer. I love to listen to you bring the word. I shouldn't have stopped. You always speak from God's heart.

  18. This message really hits home. I have to admit I have Struggled this year. I thought I would have been stronger, and not let this get me so down but it did. I have started being more intentional with my Bible study and prayer time, setting aside time for reading the word and prayer. Working on not allowing myself to become distracted with the time wasting things. I’m definitely still a work in progress but I’m seeking him, asking for strength through him. I definitely need him to breathe on me.
