What does ice cream make you sin You hypocrite
Why do you keep deleting my messages you hypocrite because I am right about you Sunday is not the mark of the beast the number is the mark of the beast you hypocrite and your false doctrine
Thank you so much dear pastor. This encouraging message has a powerful impact to me. I'm so blessed.
God richly bless you and the Amazing Facts Ministry. Ameen 😊🙏
Hello Sir, Can you send out an invite to debate Apostle Gino Jennings of Truth of God, concerning the Sabbath? He like so many others do not think that Sabbath keeping is relevant and JESUS did not say to keep it. I caution you, he is very knowledgeable concerning the scriptures and very charismatic but he might be misguided in some areas. Please consider...Thank you.
Pr. Doug, your message is very personal to me. I am praying for myself too. I am blessed and thank God for this message. Thank you too.
Pastor Doug is so funny , you just gotta love him, Godbless him ,,,
He is he makes me laugh so hard
Amen 🙏🏽😃
Ameen 🙏
For alternative ice cream, buy ripe bananas, the spotted ones, peel the ripe bananas and put them in a freezer bag, put in the freezer until frozen, take them out, put them in your blender with a little Distilled water, blend, this is yummy and healthy. Can also add blueberries & strawberries. Pineapple & mangoes Etc. . .Be creative. Happy Sabbath Everyone!!🙏😇🤗💗
Thank you, I am trying to get away from sugar. But why distilled water?
Hello Elizabeth, the Distilled water has no chemicals in it. 😊
@@kimsgc17
Thank you Kimberly, I didn’t know regular bottled water has chemicals. That is all I drink.
Yes! Maybe add that the distilled water is an ideal and not an absolute requirement? Right now eating less processed food is such a global health priority we need to make it as easy as possible. Happy Sabbath!
@@elizabethwillow4487 instead of distilled water you can also try a little bit vegan milk (almond, cashew, spelt, rice, coconut, etc). Makes it “creamy”
I struggled intensely with caffeine for many years. It used to make me feel horribly hours after drinking it and I suffered from heightened anxiety, but I still drank it and made excuse after excuse after excuse. I felt convicted to give it up, but I kept going back to it.
When I first heard this sermon I knew that I needed to pray about this indulgence. God gave me the victory. My mind is so much cleared and I don’t suffer from anxiety or stomach aches from drinking coffee.
I believe that God wants us to live healthy lives and that includes temperance.
Giselle Wisdom i loved capuccinos until i got breast cancer. They were a treat when i went out. The chemotherapy treatments made it that i can't taste or smell, and i never liked milk except in capuccinos.
So i see breast cancer as a blessing in changing my diet. God certainly works in mysterious ways to answer our prayers and sometimes the ways can be a strong wakep call! Ps. This is despite breast screens every two years.
Me too. Trying to avoid coffee.
@Mr Brownstone 🤔
@Veronica Romero amen! I’m glad you got the victory, too!
Amen!
I think this word is for me. God is telling me something...Help me, O LORD.
Same here .. happy Sabbath
@@calmer729 Happy Sabbath to you too.
Netflix is one of them, Help me Lord!

A few years ago I watched a sermon where you preached about the health message, towards the end of that sermon you did a back handspring and told the audience to try being a vegetarian because of that sermon I was a vegetarian for one year
I love listening your sermons.

Happy Sabbath .

Thank Lord for your freedom! Broke away from IC but eventually picked it up again.
Now mix with fruit to hide guilt,, a stronghold indeed
Get one of those machines that you make your own with frozen fruit! They are cheap and you can have it daily because its only fruit!
This was a good one. 😂😂😂 Here I was laughing at the Pastor’s past addiction during his presentation, till he started talking about people that are addicted to online shopping. It so happened that I was right in the middle of some online shopping that I had no business doing. 🤭🤔🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for this message and your great sence of humour ! May God continue to bless you and guide you 🙏

I heard it before but it still makes me smile😂
This is really true about addiction. Thank you Pastor.
Thank God we can overcome habits and behaviors in Jesus' power
Amen! I praise God for making me listen to this message, I’m so sure it was His will. It really cleared up some things for me. Praise God for your message and testimony, Ptr. Doug!
Pastor dough I am addicted to your sermons🤣🤣🤣
Betsy is your weakness doughnuts ? 😂 You spelled Pastor Doug’s last name “dough”
@@LeonTheLion-777 Woah it's been a year since I put this comment sorry for the typo😅😅😅
I am still struggling with my own addiction to ice cream. Please pray for me that I have victory over it.
@Men Can't Change Their Gender Why would you laugh at ice cream. It’s a real addiction.
@Men Can't Change Their Gender Tell that to Doug Batchelor. He struggled with it for 30 years.
@Men Can't Change Their Gender Pray for Doug to preach about present truth. God bless.
Praying for you 🙏
@@tyrapayne5981 Thank you Tyra. Do you have Facebook. I want to share my testimony with you.
thanks pastor doug, so helpful. keep safe and God bless your ministry.
Thank you for this Pastor Doug. As I was searching for GERD and Acid Reflux because I have this unusual pain in my chest. CZcams had this video in the first page. I praise God for it. This isn't a coincidence, I believe it's God's will for me to watch this. What are the chances you preaching this kind of sermon and me having chest pain and seeing this. This may be unusual for your type of sermons, but this is the perfect sermon i NEED today. Thank you again pastor Doug :) God be with you always!

Great one dear pastor may God continue to used you for His glory stay strong and safe
Happy Sabbath Pastor Doug Batchelor.
We are watching you in Australia 🇦🇺
God bless you🙏
There is another SDA pastor that I watch here on YT and he shared that his addiction was to donuts and lots of them. He came to his senses and asked God to help him with his addiction and now he can't stand them. Praying to overcome anything really works. It is a fact that dairy causes mucus in the body, so once you stopped eating ice cream, your body got rid of all the mucus that was clogging and effecting your breathing. Praise God you quit and that you are still able to preach. Thank you for sharing.
I was a heroin addict for 25 years. Finally committed suicide and was successful. But they brought me back. I was in a coma for 10 days. When I came out, I asked to be put on Suboxone, a drug used to alleviate the withdrawal of opioids. I've now been on it for 5 years, and it's time to come off. Its proving more difficult to get off of than heroin itself. I am a sinner. I've asked Jesus to enter my heart, and direct my life according to His will. The Suboxone is the only thing holding me back from true freedom. Please pray for me.
I have prayed for you. You are loved, please do not forget that...
Praise God. Bless you for overcoming this addiction. Amen
I did the same thing with my mother (although the idea came from my older sibling I saw take money out of mom’s change purse). I’d steal a quarter out of her change purse everyday, until she asked one day, “who is taking money from my purse?” I had to stop ✋.
When I grew up, became a disciple of Christ, I gave my mom $10 in payment, as I confessed what I had done, all those years ago.
Thanks for the INSPIRATION, once again, tonight. ❤️🙏’s, to our Jesus, for you and Karen. Blessings in Christ 😀
Great point: Great laugh:
Praise our Lord Jesus Christ ❣️
I love all your videos I watch this one every night
Good night everyone blessings for tonight Happy Sabbath be blessed always 🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹🙏🏽🌹🙏🏽🌹🙏🏽🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🏽
Wow I have an addiction to sweets, especially chocolate and also shopping for things I like but never really use all because I just had to have it
It's even worse if the things you buy shopping were on sale or from garage sales, then you can try to justify it by saying it was a great deal. Don't ask me how I know.
I really needed to hear this message. Praise the Lord. Been going through similar things myself and this helped me to put things into perspective cause my thoughts are insanity as i struggle. Please pray God gives me victory and i will continue to try the best i can. Anyways God bless
Yes we can make anything into an addiction. Mine is cake and any other sweet. Now I'm a diabetic. I still can't stay away from it. Please pray for me on that.
My husband loved ice cream just like you. If we ran out my husband would have me go to the store to buy more even if it was the middle of the night. My mother-in-law called him the ice cream kid lol. His favorite was vanilla and vanilla fudge twirl.
same here im 28 diabetic type two n still cant leave sweets alone
@@littleblackpeep863 I do understand. I'm also type 2. It is my addiction I'm sad to say
Get down on your knees and ask Jesus to take over that which you cannot do. He will be right beside you to give you strength when the temptation comes up. It works and I can vouch for that. He is ever beside you!
@@moonstar7775 thank you. I shall do that
Me too. Still love and eat dessert but just less amounts now. Diabetic. But in a way I'm glad that I have to control myself and see the benefits 😌
This certainly encourages me to fight my bondages
Doug is a Sundae keeper
Hahahah
There is an ice cream truck in our area also. The music is a little eerie now that I am an adult. Nowadays with all of the perversion and crimes against children, my thoughts gravitate towards the darker side when I hear the truck in my neighborhood where many children congregate. Thank you for sharing this personal addiction story with us. We all have suffered through our addictions in life but it is wonderful to have the freedom of not 'having the monkey' on our backs. Only God can give us the strength to overcome and He will help those who are really serious about overcoming their personal addictions. He is a good and merciful God!
Aaamen.
I have learned much here.
Thank you for sharing pastor Doug
Thank you for joining us, Caroline! May God bless you.

Dear pastor,
I know exactly what you’re talking about!
I remember the “good humour man”.
Thank you for sharing 😊
This is a real thing. 7 eleven ice cream got me addicted. I’ll eat the whole cup in one sitting. It was so good I’d buy it 3 days in a row. But they shut down the 7 eleven around me ...Haven’t had it for months. But I have other junk addictions especially sugary stuff. I pray to the Most High Yahweh, to win victory over my addictions.
This humorous sermon is so relevant. God is purifying His people before probation closes. Some of us are still struggling with what we feed our bodies. Many foods we thought were innocent cloud our brain functions. This clouds and interferences with our spiritual discernment. Thank you Ps. Doug
Thank you for this message
You need to try banana ice cream (frozen banana put in your food processor of dessert making machine) It works great and is a healthy treat. My grandkids love it. Sprinkle some nuts, fruit on top and it is delish.
What a coincidence yesterday which was April 30th I bought ice cream I didn't eat any of it it's still in the freezer but then this video gets posted last night after I bought the ice cream that's pretty funny!!!
it wasn't until the end of the video where I knew the area I needed help. My relationships!!! Thank you for your honesty Pastor. God bless you and your family!
Watching 7:1am from India, blessed
So glad you could join us! May God bless you.

Excellent, honest stuff. Inspiring.
My addition is books. I do read them all but still I will spend myself into debt to get books: historical and theological.
Richard, it's amazing, isn't it? how anything in life can go out of balance. Even things that aren't wrong in themselves. God bless His people in their struggles to prioritize!
Thank you pastor!
I really enjoyed this sermon; it hits home in a number of ways.
Hey I grew up in Palm Springs a number of years after you. I was there from spring “91” through 2005 I visited that Thrifty’s and had their ice cream after school many times lol.
I use to go up Taquitz canyon and jump of rocks and swim in the pools up there every summer. Beautiful canyon up there. Never made it past the 2nd falls though.
God bless and happy sabbath.
A timely message for everyone
It's funny, I just got done having a big piece of cookies and cream ice cream.
Have you ever tried carob and dirt cookies? I think they were EGW's favorite
Happy sabbath!
Addictions come in many forms
Love this ❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤😂😂
❤ I learned so much from this❤❤❤❤❤❤
just what I needed to hear.
Yes sir pastor Doug
What's even funnier is they ran a junk food commercial in the middle of this sermon on CZcams
Lol....how fitting
😁 of course they did
Thanks for this sermon. I'm addicted too. Something nice to drink (like juice I mean) every day, and probably even more so watching CZcams videos. Please pray for me. God bless.
Drinking juice isn’t a bad thing!
Thank you pastor Doug for giving hope. I understand the ice-cream addiction, I was addicted to potato chips for about 10 years from teenager to my twenties, I was eating one bag of 150g almost every day, then potato chips got more expensive, and I got into an university dorm and I was a vegetarian but then my roommates would notice that I eat too much potatoe chips, so that motivated me enough to stop eating.
But my biggest problem is video games and porn addiction. After analyzing why I can't quit, I figured the problem is that I have nothing to take their place, when I try to quit these addictions some void is left and inevitably I end up in the mud again and again. I figgured that I have a solution for video games, the solution is working, working with my muscles. But for my pornographic addiction I can't find anything to substitute it. The longest I've got without it was 3 months. I worked some years before I could do university with my own money, but now the video game problem came back because all my work is on a computer, and it makes quiting pornographic addiction so much harder. I don't have anybody to talk to, except God (that's how I'm still alive) but loneliness fuells my addiction. I often feel like I'm the only one I can do sometimes for myself and that nobody can help me, that nobody understands me, and is probably true, because I don't speak to anyone no one speeks to me, seems right. But is often when I feel this way that I relapse. I need help, but I don't know how to ask for help and who. I know everyone has their own problems and so I don't want to bother anyone with my own problems, I never speak to anyone about my problems, like what happened to me today bad or good, not even to my mother, because many times when I tryied to speak to someone they are overwhelmed by their problems so mine seem so less important than their problems, the only help I have is Jesus, I've seen it in action, but my faith is dim.
I remember a guy riding a bicycle with a big white metal container . We often had the orange pushups. This was Toledo Ohio in the 50s.
Glory to God, this sermon answered my prayers, thank you pastor Doug :)
Thank you for joining us! May God bless you.

This sermon made me want ice cream😂
HAPPY SABBATH ALL MY FRIENDS
I'm that fake vegan guy, because in those alone moments I have that struggle with chocolate to the point everyday it was a must that I had one. Thank you pastor for this message God inspired you to do.
Met an angel yesterday and she said god sent her to me and My Friend to talk about our bad addiction.
She gave me 2 prayinganswer
Many struggle with addictions much worse than this. Regardless of how helpless we may feel when confronted with our addictions, let's remember God's promises.
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." - 1 Corinthians 10:13
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13
His book the richest caveman is a great read.
I'm struggling with a lot of sweets and fried foods. Please pray for me guys ! I need help :)
Also have a HAPPY SABBATH!!!
I like that
This is interesting.
this is an almost 3 year battle with pornography for me. daily deliverance and prayer to God because as I felt that God is delivering me from PMO, it shifted to food. now, food almost seems to be harder than PMO.
🍨 .... sometimes it whispers to me at night 😳
Whispers?? My ice cream demon screams at me😂
@@mastiffpeople4868 😁😂
🤣🤣 I can relate
🤣
Happy sabbath
TL; DR It's ice cream. :) Still looking forward to the sermon though. God Bless.
Wow, God wants to rescue me 😔🥺 i found this sermon while I’m eating junkfood and chocolates at 10pm 😭😭😭😭😭 I am suffering for my eating addiction please pray for me. I keep on begging for the Lord’s mercy praying so hard He will help me with my temperance. I am so disappointed with my self I keep on having excuses. 😭🙏🙏
Thrifty's became Rite Aid.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
God believes in ice cream 🤣🤣🤣🤣
