If You Lost Your Insanity, Who Would You Be? (Church 7/10/22)
10/07/2022 Duration: 01h48minDo you ever feel shy, or afraid of anyone? All with anger have fear. You and your insanity are one. You cannot know God in your identities. Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, July 10, 2022: Hope you had a happy Fourth of July! Did you learn anything about yourself this week? Being on-time is a "white supremacy" value! Your enemy is within you, deceiving you. We discuss at-length the Biblical Question: If you lost your insanity, who would you be? Some forgave their mothers. Do you ever feel shy or afraid of another person? Don't be deceived by titles. Everyone with anger has fear. You and your insanity: How many are there of you? You and your insanity are one. 0:00:00 Sun, Jul 10, 20220:01:32 Welcome! Learn anything?

The Narrow Gate, Matt. 7: 13-14 (Archive 9/15/13)
06/07/2022 Duration: 01h51sDo not always "help" nor ever feel sorry for others! How do you enter the narrow gate? Take the ego pain without reaching for anything. BOND Archive Sunday Service, September 15, 2013: One man shares a story of bringing trouble on himself by "helping" a neighbor with his swimming pool in the wrong way. Another man admits to feeling sorry for a servant class in Thailand whom he heard about, where his wife spent time working. He related to them because of slavery in America. But the "poor" people can have a better attitude and be happier than the "rich." Have a good attitude. Jesse then reads Matthew 7: 13-14, in which Jesus says, "Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it." People talk about what it means. (Amid the conversation, Jesse talks with a newly homeless man on drugs who resents his parents' shaming him.) Know and admit that you don't know! To enter, total

Revolver: Facing the Devil Within (Church 7/3/22)
03/07/2022 Duration: 01h39minThe movie Revolver shows how Satan works the mind, pretending to be you. Are you an individual? Do you keep God's greatest commandment? Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, July 3, 2022: After briefly discussing the Fourth of July and welcoming first-timers, we talk about the movie "Revolver" (by Guy Ritchie), which Jesse recommended. Different scenes depict the Devil in one man's mind, pretending to be the man. An expert called Deepak Chopra called it "the ego" and denied it's the Devil, but it is the Devil. One character goes to apologize to another, and the prideful chatter and impulses in his mind are going crazy. People want you to resent and fear them, so they can control you. We then discuss: Are you an individual? Unless you become an individual, you will not know God. Stop trying to control anything; let things be, and don't protect the ego, or Satan in you. Face the fear and weaknesses. Biblical Question: Do you keep the greatest commandment? Love God with all your heart, along with nothing else,

Are You the Prodigal Son? (Church 6/26/22)
26/06/2022 Duration: 01h38minThe movie "Revolver" exposes the ego, the Devil. Both political sides have the same spirit. Biblical Question: Are you the Prodigal Son? Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, June 26, 2022: We open with reaction to the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. Jesse recommends the movie "Revolver," about the ego (which is really the Devil) disguising itself and possessing you. Give up the fight protecting the ego; you're not that important. If plagued by a thought, just relax. Pro-lifers and "pro-choicers" operate from the same ego spirit; there's another way. (We hear an update from the woman who cried last week.) Should you plan for what you want? No one knows what they want. It's all ego; it's not you, and it's not from God. Different ladies talk about how BOND has helped them in forgiveness, prayer, and letting go. Biblical Question: Are you the Prodigal Son? People talk about getting into vices at different points in life. Jesse says that everyone who has been turned away from their father is the pro

Do You Know Who You Are? Does God Answer Your Prayers? (Archive 8/25/13)
22/06/2022 Duration: 59minWho are you? JLP realized he doesn't know! Have you asked God for something He did not grant? It's because you prayed to the wrong god. BOND Archive Sunday Service, August 25, 2013: Jesse Lee Peterson opens with questions: Who are you? Do you know? In discussion with intellectuals, Jesse realized he has no idea! A young lady asks if others have the same chance to know God. It's not our concern! Animals do not worry about their lives, yet God takes care of them. QUESTION: Have you ever asked something of God, and He did not do it? A woman selfishly wanted her son's life spared. We read Matthew 6: 22-34. You worry and pray in vain to a false god. Live in the now. 00:00 Sun, Aug 25, 201301:13 Q: Do you know who you are?15:20 JLP: I have no idea who I am19:32 Do others have the same chance?23:53 JLP: I'm not concerned; animals28:12 Ever asked God, He did not do it?38:50 Unimportant to know what you are.41:15 Lady selfishly wanted son saved.43:24 Matthew 6: 22-3445:49 JLP: Why you worry: False god50:28 Feedback: I

Are You in a Wrong Human Relationship? (Father's Day Church, 6/19/22)
19/06/2022 Duration: 01h53minHave you ever said "thank you"? Why have you ever feared failure? A young girlfriend cries. Jesus was not a Jew, but of the Spirit of the Father. Father's Day Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, June 19, 2022: Jesse opens by inviting a young father to speak, and welcoming first-timers talking about forgiving their parents. We then discuss the Biblical Question: Are you in a wrong human relationship? Have you ever said "thank you" to someone? Have you ever been afraid of failure? Why? Some misguided parents tell their children: "I want you to be better than me." A young woman breaks down crying, insecure about how her past might affect her relationship. She's hung up on "honoring" her boyfriend. Forget about the past! Honor God, not human beings. Nobody knows what they want. Jesse says that every human being is in a wrong human relationship. He talks about a caller Anna who sent him thought-provoking information. Jesus was born of the Spirit of his Father, not of his Jewish mother. Galatians 3: 28 says tha

What Is the Thorn in Your Side? (Archive 8/18/13)
15/06/2022 Duration: 01h57sBe happy in your suffering and weakness. Nutty people want respect from others. Accept yourself as you are. Forgive and pray for your enemies. BOND Archive Sunday Service, August 18, 2013: Jesse tells about a dream, and he's not into dreams! What is the thorn in your side? We read from 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10. Jesse shares examples of gossip and disrespect. Have no opinion! There are good energy people, and bad energy people. Forgive. Pray for your enemy. In the world, you will experience judgment. Accept yourself as you are. You're not God that you have a right to judge or be angry. When you're becoming one with the Father, you don't seek respect or disrespect. Let the ego die; it's not you. 00:00 Sun, Aug 18, 201300:29 JLP story of a dream06:12 What is your thorn? 2 Cor 12: 7-1010:03 Example: Gossip19:59 Example: Disrespect32:57 Have no opinion!35:20 JLP: Energy, ego, anger40:56 Pray for others42:40 Hook a brother up43:25 Judgment and acceptance 51:59 No seeking respect58:16 Closing: PrayThrowback Sunday Ser

Are You the Ever-Changing Thought? (6/12/22)
12/06/2022 Duration: 01h43minHave you been helped by BOND? How? Moses freed the people, but they turned! Biblical Question: Are you the ever-changing thought? Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, June 12, 2022: Jesse asks several people if and how they've been helped since coming to BOND. We discuss the story of Moses going up to the mountain for a long time to talk with God. The Israelites grew impatient and listened to false leaders gathering a crowd against Moses and God; they worshiped a golden calf! Similarly, people today pretend to be free, yet have anger, follow a crowd, follow false leaders. Biblical Question: Are you the ever-changing thought? (Women discuss crying monthly.) New Biblical Question: Are you in a wrong human relationship?

Christ Said in Order to Live You Must Die. How Do You Do That? (Archive 8/11/13)
08/06/2022 Duration: 01h58sCan human beings live forever? Christ said: You must die in order to be reborn. What does that mean? How do you overcome the "ego" life? BOND Archive Sunday Service, August 11, 2013: Jesse Lee Peterson comments on his son's mother's funeral, and how death is abnormal. The people discuss the notion that one might live and never die, as Jesse says he's never dying. We then discuss Jesus's statement: In order to be born again and live, you must die. What type of death brings life? The pride of man, the false nature, must die. How do you deal with another person who causes you pain? People talk about problems at work and with family members. You are not your thoughts; stop identifying with them. 00:00 Sun, Aug 11, 201300:29 Death is abnormal04:37 JLP is never dying17:28 In order to live, you must die26:11 JLP: What dying is32:33 Pride of mankind, false nature41:34 Another person causing pain?46:29 JLP advice on problem people50:25 Woman in conflict with children58:05 You are not your thoughtsThrowback Sunday Serv

06/05/22 Do You Have True Courage? (Church)
05/06/2022 Duration: 01h40minThe world is full of evil, confusion, and unhappiness. Question yourself in your anger. Biblical Question: Do you have true courage? Stay in the now, not the imagination. Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, June 5, 2022: Jesse opens by commenting on evil and insanity in the world, with shootings, attacks on the Second Amendment, and "LGBTQ" propaganda to children. Nobody's happy: Kim Kardashian reportedly said she'd eat poop if it helped her stay young-looking. Many people lie to themselves about having forgiven, but don't question themselves when they trip out and get angry over small things. Jesse briefly retells of forgiving his mother, and the spirit of anger being taken from him. We discuss at-length the Biblical Question: Do you have true courage? Most people are not "all-in." Some are afraid to call themselves Christian! One man feels he should directly confront a "Christian" friend who's having sex before marriage, or not associate with him. Jesse urges people to stay on the narrow path, not give

8/4/13 Are You a Person Who Makes Things Happen, Allows Things to Happen, or Watches Things Happen?
01/06/2022 Duration: 01h58sLet thoughts and judgment go. You want to allow things to happen. Pray quietly and be aware; let God's will be done. He always provides. BOND Archive Sunday Service, August 4, 2013: Jesse invites people to bring questions or comments. A wife and mother judges herself and others; her husband is impatient at times; you don't want any anger at all, Jesse warns. (Jesse mentions the death of his son's mother, living forever, and health advice.) Let thoughts and judgment go; it's not you. People discuss the questions: Is it easy to be bad? Are you a person who makes things happen, allows things to happen, or watches things happen? Jesse urges a struggling man: Pray and let God's will be done. God provides. 00:00 Sun, Aug 4, 201300:38 Self-critical mother/wife, husband08:06 JLP's living forever, hot sauce10:28 Let thoughts and judgment go14:37 Q: Easy to be bad, hard to be good?25:32 JLP: No such thing as bad33:16 She's emotional.

Biblical Q: Do you dance to your own music?Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, May 29, 2022: We discuss at-length people's reaction to the Uvalde, Texas school shooting. Satan feeds the imagination to get you emotional: "What if it were your kids?" People talk about the attacks on the Second Amendment as well as trauma from "bullying" and "abuse." Jesse then asks: Are you living in a natural or unnatural state? Know yourself by knowing the not-you. Be in the world, but not of it, not moved by others. Don't identify with your children. We close with the Biblical Question: Do you dance to your own music? 0:00:00 Sun, May 29, 20220:01:03 Welcome to Church0:02:00 Uvalde: 'What if it were your kids?'0:16:02 Uvalde: Broken homes, armed schools0:20:55 Gun control, Bullying0:34:03 Kids talk; Not losing our guns?0:42:47 1st and 2nd Amendments, Fathers0:49:14 Ammo restrictions0:52:57 Q: Living in an unnatural or natural s

07/28/13 Fear and Love (Archive)
25/05/2022 Duration: 01h01minIn anger, you have fear and are easily manipulated. People hate the truth that Trayvon was a thug. Have love and don't sugarcoat the truth. BOND Archive Sunday Service, July 28, 2013: Jesse Lee Peterson asks the people who has fear, and who has love. You can't have both! Jesse describes hateful backlash to his comments to Piers Morgan on CNN that everybody knows that Trayvon Martin was a thug. Even Christian black pastors cursed Jesse out, accusing him of being paid, and then turning around and saying they'd "pray for him." Jesse tells his story of anger resulting in fear and blindly following false black leaders. Deceivers don't care about you; they manipulate you! Over the years, well-meaning people have tried to get Jesse to soften the harsh truth he tells. But Jesse shares his message the way God gives him to say it. Frederick Douglass said the best thing to do for the negro is nothing. Let them build themselves up. One Hispanic man resented Jesse calling Trayvon a "thug," because he too has resented "rac

05/22/22 Are You Living at a Lower or Higher Level? (Church)
22/05/2022 Duration: 01h59minAre you living your lowest or highest level? Do you expect the truth to change for you? Nothing is required of us but to pray and watch.Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, May 22, 2022: We welcome first-timers, then discuss the question: Are you living your lowest or highest level? Jesse also asks the Biblical Question: Do you expect the truth to change for you? The questions come up: Are you successful? What is success? One young lady had to be a "second parent" to siblings after her parents' divorce, living with their single mother. Jesse gives a monologue about reflecting on his 73 years: Nothing is required of us but to pray and watch. You're no different from Hitler or a murderer. Don't run from situations. Be glad. There is no love in the world. Stop taking on others' pain, Jesse says, commenting on the Buffalo supermarket shooting. Have no opinion about yourself; pray for one another. You need time alone! Let the ego have a fit. Go through the valley of the shadow of death. That's not you dying. Le

07/21/13 The George Zimmerman Case Was Not About Race (Archive)
18/05/2022 Duration: 01h57sPeople cannot see they're being manipulated. White people are afraid, and black Americans angry. Have love, and rebuild families. BOND Archive Sunday Service, July 21, 2013: Jesse Lee Peterson speaks at-length after appearing on Piers Morgan's CNN show to talk about the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case. People overreacting cannot see the dishonest manipulation by the media and even President Obama. Deceivers take something good like "profiling," and cast it as a bad thing. (Jesse also talks about the question: If a man were to cheat, should he tell his wife?) An Ethiopian immigrant speaks up in church, claiming to experience white racism, and accusing Jesse of lacking love when telling the truth. Jesse urges: Overcome anger to see reality. 0:00:00 Sun, July 21, 20130:00:30 JLP on Piers Morgan0:15:46 Being manipulated0:21:18 Profiling0:22:38 Common sense0:24:09 Wake up, America!0:24:55 If a man cheats, should he tell?0:28:11 Ethiopian immigrant speaks0:30:24 Are most blacks angry?0:31:30 Accusation: Contro

05/15/22 Has God Ever Helped You in a Situation? (Church)
15/05/2022 Duration: 01h56minDo you correct yourself? Has God ever helped you in a situation? You pray to Satan about situations; God keeps you from getting into them. Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, May 15, 2022: Jesse opens with the Biblical Question: Do you correct yourself? (Toward the end he briefly answers it.) He then asks: Do you believe in God? Has God ever helped you in a situation? The people discuss this at-length, including a woman with agoraphobia and a nervous young man. Some wondered why God didn't help them; a few turned atheist. Others felt God helped them even find their keys. Does God create situations? He lets people lose. Jesse realized this week God never helped him in situations, but that he was praying to Satan and not God, based on thoughts about situations. In the light, God keeps us from getting into situations. But in the darkness of the imagination, in thoughts and emotions, Satan leads us into situations. Let go of everything you've been taught about God. Toward the end Jesse answers questions: How

07/07/13 Are You Willing to Surrender Love of Thought for Love of God?
11/05/2022 Duration: 01h55sPeople are driven mad by thoughts and listening to others. People have fear and can't get past it. Repent and forgive to be free. BOND Archive Sunday Service, July 7, 2013: Jesse Lee Peterson asks: Are you willing to surrender the love of thought for the love of God? He speaks at-length about thoughts misleading people, in their desires, pleasures, and pride. Many people listen to others' advice, and repeat it, rather than knowing for themselves. People go crazy, even trying to kill themselves. One angry man wrote a letter describing his misery, and Jesse counseled with him. One woman, along with others in church, suffer from fear. How do you overcome fear? Repent. Forgive. Perfect love drives out fear. God will do it. 0:00:00 Sun, July 7, 20130:01:04 JLP: Surrender love of thought0:09:18 JLP: Lady listened to someone else0:10:31 JLP: Letter from an angry man0:18:18 JLP: Let thoughts go: Light to be free0:21:33 Feedback: Wish never born?

Mother's Day Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, May 8, 2022: Jesse opens by asking people if they're afraid of food shortages and other evil in the world now. How should you react to a woman hitting a child? Take responsibility for yourself; don't intellectually learn from others. Practice not overreacting to little things. Romans 12 says: Present your bodies as a living sacrifice. How is the ego death painful? Biblical Question: Do you live in your confusion? Should you?

01/05/2022 Duration: 01h44min30th anniversary L.A. Riots! Do you ever feel successful and/or like a failure? All feelings are lies, and all attachments your god. See Job in the Bible. Church with Jesse Lee Peterson, Sunday, May 1, 2022: Friday was the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of the Rodney King L.A. riots. Jesse talks at-length with the people: Do you feel successful? What does success feel like? Have you ever felt like a failure? How does failure feel? One man "feels humble" because of failure. Everyone has the same story; all feelings are lies. Your attachments are your god, rather than the one true God. We are not in control.
