Formerly Jailed Canadian Pastor James Coates Shares FULL Story, How His Defiance Led People to Jesus
Рет қаралды 8,516
One year ago, Canadian Pastor James Coates was in jail for leading his congregation in worship amid the COVID-19 pandemic - an outcome he said he never would have imagined, but one that has led more people to come to Christ and even resulted in exponential growth for his church.
Coates, pastor of GraceLife Church in Edmonton, Alberta, spoke with CBN's Faithwire about his entire journey, from defying the Canadian government's COVID regulations to his incarceration to his life today.

Like the early church and churches in countries where the Gospel and God's people are oppressed, the church tends to grow in adversity, like a light shining in a world of spiritual darkness. Sadly, if indeed we are living in the last days, as I believe we are, religious liberty, especially Christian liberty will continue to be suppressed world-wide, just as Jesus, the founder and chief cornerstone of the church said it would be. "In this world you will have tribulation, but take courage, for I have overcome the world". John 16:33 (Ref. Acts 23:12-22)

As i listened to the end of your story, I heard the Lord say when you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.For I am the Lord your God.The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, Isaiah 43:1-3.

Romans ch. 13 verse 1 to 7 and 1 Peter ch. 2 verse 13 to 25. We obey authority and that's the government. We honor, respect and obey them. No, we do not forsake coming together of the saints, but that means we always come together when the church is open we come meet. We don't skip church, we don't put things of the world first we go to church first that's not foresaking the assembling of the saints. Praise God thank you Jesus for the truth and showing the truth to others as well. Hallelujah praise God 🙏

I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏🕊️💕🔥🙏 Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be free, forgiven, healed, delivered, saved, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. Ask anything in His name 🕊️💕🔥🙏 amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus 🙏 Show God, live for His glory. Be rooted and grounded in love, His truth. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🕊️ 🙏🔥 💕 2 chronicles 7 14 says if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. People need to repent, be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin, to live how He said. He dwells in the temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey me. Praise God thank you Jesus in Jesus name 🕊️ 🔥🙏💕

With all due respect Pastor, God tells us in his word to obey the laws of the land. I can't see God telling any of his people to break the law. You could have done like other pastors who did not want to close down but followed the law and did so and broadcasted their services live online.

With all due respect Susan, Jesus would not have followed the “orders”. Remember, no laws had been passed, only health orders and they were never debated in the Legislature. We are to bend the knee to one God. Sadly, pastors all over Canada chose to bend their knee to another god and gladly received funding from the taxpayer. We are now all paying it back in the name of inflation. What Pastor James and his church did was follow Jesus and I stand with them!
