    Do you have intimate times with God? Do you have times when God is so personal that you are in awe? Francis shares how personal God is to Him and his concern is that many people have never done that. Is your faith about a person? Uploaded with permission.

    You CANNOT put a price tag on the peace that is felt when you tell the Lord about your day or worries.
    There is no filter when I speak to Him, since He knows the truth, I need not worry about wasting His time or Him getting irritated or judging me.....I just talk to Him.like I would a friend. And I never want Him to leave.
    Ever.😊

    Chan is so childlike in his faith, as it should be; this type of preaching is essential. You see joy in face, body & his heart is so open. Do you want more of God, or time on the computer, in the mall. We are a culture saturated with every seduction & everyway to be a slave to sin. Almost everything Satan uses to distract us, telling us there's more. This was a spirit opener for me, were does my help come from, it comes from the Lord maker of heaven & earth.

    See, this is my problem, why didn’t the leadership yell out, “no, forget the clock we want to hear from the Holy Spirit “
    I’m tired of hearing every where I go, “I have more to say but my time is up.”
    Destroy all church clocks nd let those who are tired of hearing leave if they must.

    John 17:3 (ESV) - And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
    Knowing Him is our greatest gift, and unfortunately it is a gift that I often walk away from in the midst of all of the busyness of life. The scary thing is that sometimes ministry gets in the way of the pursuit and desire to just be with Him and Know Him. Thank you for the reminder.

I love how he always glorifies God in every message I’ve ever heard from him & pushes personal relationship w/our Father over religion. May God keep him & bless him as he blesses so many others in bringing the Word of God to many & keeping it real. Glory to God in the Highest!

    God knows exactly what u going through and how you’re feeling at that moment. One time I was moving grass at the church and I forgot my water at my house. I was thirsty, sun was blasting , hot scorching day. Some guy I don’t even know comes up too me and asked me what do you want to drink? I was like wow, God is so good. So my point is this trust God and he will send the help on the way.

To know that such a holy man of God still has to wrestle with certain feelings and is still able to turn from them and get back to God gives me back the hope I have had. I know now it's just an attack by the evil one to try to make me stumble. But just because he attacks doesn't mean I have to be fatally wounded. Thank you again.

    Would people be laughing if he was giving a play-by-play of how he was tempted to commit adultery? Why are some sins/temptations chuckle worthy to us and some are revolting? Shouldn't we all be revolting about all sin the way that God does?
    It's a fantastic message, and I Love Francis, but this thought just crossed my mind as I was amusing about his Monday weakness. May God reveal the truth to us.

    first of all, what is with those drums and guitars?
    second of all, how many people are there? (there is no way that many people are saved in one place, especially in a pagan building called a church)
    with this guy praying like that, made me think of what
    Jesus said about for a pretence making long prayers (Matthew 23:14)
    and standing in the synagogues to pray (to be seen of men, Matthew 6:5)
    he called himself a kid, (Matthew 25:32 and 41)
    "knowing abunch of stuff" kinda like the scripture? which this
    but don't get me wrong, many of these "churches" in religion and denominations
    are not in the way of the scriptures (the King James Bible) but rather against it
    many false brethren in this world, to less true born again Christians (who
    will after truly getting saved, will be lead by the LORD to the King James Bible, that is if
    such is an english speaker)
    little joker is not turning to but rather raving about his personal life.
    a real Christian preacher/pastor would have turned to scripture the
    moment after his praying was finished. this guy is fake

    No offense, but I'm trying to learn the bible. If we are supposed to follow God's word, why is this woman addressing the men in this crowd? I mean the word of God says in 1st Corinthians 14: 34, "The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says".

    • @bence-9923
      @bence-9923 Před rokem

      Have two or three prophets speak, and have the others pass judgment. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted; for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. Or was it from you that the word of God first went out? Or has it come to you only?
      1 Corinthians 14:29‭, ‬31‭, ‬33‭-‬36 NASB2020
      It's better to read the full part in the bible, I left out some verses for shortness' sake (but that doesn't mean I don't think the rest are important)
      So I think as you read the verses you mentioned more in context it seems logical that by " women's submission according to the law" Paul meant that a wife shouldn't judge his husband's prophecy in public, so that it won't become personal, and they can better talk about it in private anyways. And if we saw a wife act like that with her husband we would truly have to agree with Paul in that he can't stand it. What makes this interpretation believable is that he still talks about prophecy after this, so this part about women must not be unrelated. Even if it the real intentions were muddied in translation, or he didn't word it perfectly.
      Btw Paul is the one who talks about how women can take the same roles in church as men do in 1st Corinthians 11:5. So it's a clear contradiction with how some have been interpreting these few verses you mentioned.
      God bless you brother and bring us closer to Himself and show us what is from him and what he means by it.
