Does God command restoring predators to ministry? I know this sounds like a strange thing to say

0:05.5

that is the literal teaching of Rick Joyner who has restored predators to ministry many times.

0:12.6

There's a list of them that he has restored, and it seems as though he wants to continue doing that

0:17.1

and believes, as I've just recently found out, that it's actually his commission from God. Why am I covering this as part of the 10 questions videos? Well, we ask questions about

0:29.1

scripture, trying to learn to think biblically about everything in this series of videos.

0:33.2

And the first question for today is, do these verses that Rick Joyner shares tell us that we should restore predators into ministry as a policy?

0:43.8

Let's just walk through the verses as he shares them. I got four video clips I'll share.

1:31.1

They all handle this stuff in different ways.

1:33.3

But they are Morning Star.

1:36.2

IHop International House of Prayer, not the pancakes.

1:40.2
