  • Do you know how to put God first in your life? It's easier said than done. We are always told how to do it but we are seldom told why it's important that we do. If we don't put God first, we could possibly be blocking our own blessings from being poured out on our lives. This video will help you put God first in your life and help you understand why.

    Hey FAM! I'm doing a series of videos to help us get off to a great start in 2020. NEWSFLASH - GOD WANTS PRIORITY STATUS IN YOUR LIFE. Let's put Him first in every area of our lives (financially, relationally, career, dreams, goals, etc.). He deserves it!

      When are you going to tell all of your followers that the oldest manuscript of the Old Testament was written in Greek and is called the Septuagint... That the New Testament was also written in Greek. That it's Greek mythology riddled in allegory, parables, parallels, and metaphor.. That Jesus said dont follow the pharisees and lawyers spreading RELIGION like you are.

      Please watch Derek Prince’s ‘how to be delivered (from evil spirits/demons) (1995)’, he was a true man of God and that video is so truly powerful. If you follow the deliverance and prayers genuinely I know you can be healed. May God bless you bro stay strong in Christ, don’t think about what other people have to say about your faith and follow God’s will in everything you do and you for sure will be following the right path. I’m in High School and I get how loving God and living for Him righteously can be hard among many unsaved people our age. Praying for you

      Prayed for you ,I have suffered from depression and it can be debilitating, please make sure you get help from a doctor. Medicine can help it takes time maybe a week or two to get into your system but it really helps . Please don't neglect it . Hang in there and give this some time things do get better . Praying for you I know how you feel it's a dark place but that's what Satan wants for you but God wants to bring you light. God allows medicine for a reason. People do care let others that understand this into your life it can help . Talking with people that understand can help. meditate on Jesus and let him love on you . Ask God to send those people into your life because he uses others to help us though these things. Please believe me I know how you feel it can feel like a very dark place nothing can seem good or make you happy but it can pass and you will see happiness again. Don't give up please please see a doctor and talk about this sometimes we can't fix this on our own. Praying for you and praying you will see joy again . I care !

    When you learn to put God first, ultimately, nothing else matters.
    Once the Holy Spirit gives you that spirit of discernment, you will be able to deal with everyday challenges, people, and trials. What a 'beautiful' gift knowing that the Holy Spirit is with you 'everyday' helping you and being that steering wheel in my life. ' Hallelujah' for this gift. 'ALL' praise and glory in the matchless Name Jesus Christ. Try putting God first in everything, you will 'not' be disappointed. Blessings.

And if you regret doing wrong and repent on it, then you haven't committed the unforgivable sin since this sin is neglecting the Holy Spirit and feeling no remorse meaning you don't come back to our savior which hopefully you won't do.

      Thank you for this powerful message that struck my soul like a bolt of lightning. Here I am making more money than ever in my life and am able to provide for my children and my grandchildren of which I am thankful. Never seem to get ahead. Credit card bills from the holidays, dog in the vet hospital, and so on that takes away from the bottom line. God's tabernacle which is my body and health is all taking second place. I heard loud and clear to STOP FOCUSING ON MY CAREER. It too will soon be gone.
      Praying for a revival in my soul, a hunger to seek Him first with all that I am so that I can be all He wants to be in my life. Lead me Father on the path you want me to follow and fill my lamp with oil so I will not be found ashamed and not ready when you return. Use me Lord to bless others. Prioritize those things in my life that really do not matter. Hear my prayer Lord. God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ and strengthen us for the last of the last days in which we live.

But most definitely, if he wants to accept Christ as Lord and Savior, pray the sinner's prayer with him. God be with you both in this. Love most of all, be patient, God hears your prayers. Everyone has free will. Happy is the one whose God is the Lord.

    His question really helped me understand that my last relationship was my #1 priority at the time and after a year and three months, it was taken away for something because I wasn’t prioritizing God. It was also some short time after I had taken her to church as well that it happened as well. Then afterwards, I find a TikTok video about the rapture that starts making me question where I’m at with God and so I start crying because I’m scared of that and I ask the Lord to forgive me. I continue to walk down the road later and this recent Sunday, I got re-saved by Jesus and I’m learning more about myself through Him. Praise God for the good handiwork

      @@angzhamz5053 sure thing, " Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."1 Timothy 6:7. This is such a good, clear word against hoarding and the building of material wealth on earth!! What is the point? What does it profit?
      Hear the Holy Scriptures for those without any descendants 🙃, no heir;
      "There is one without companion, he has neither son nor brother, yet there is no end to all his labors, nor is his eye satisfied with riches, and does not ask for whom do I toil and deprive myself of good? this is vanity and a great misfortune." Ecclesiastes 4:8✔️ Good word!!

    I asked God not to put me in a class with the people I don't feel like seeing. The exact same people I asked to not be in the same room with me are here. That's when I realized it's all just preparation. I'll keep my faith in him even through the darkest days. I know it's gonna be difficult in the future but you have to remember Job. Satan is the ruler of this world and the people. God also has control. It's just up to us to keep our faith in him. Sometimes you get what you desire from God. You'll also get the exact opposite of what you ask and it's meant to teach you a lesson. You can't just have faith in God because of all the good things you have in life. You have to have faith in him through all your problems as well. All of us are bound to suffer. No one can avoid it. It doesn't matter what color your skin is, how you look, your social status, or how large your net worth is. Our goal in this life is to just be prepared for the better and the worst. We are his righteous warriors.

    This is a great mindset to have for this coming year, I want to draw closer to the Lord and feel more of his presence in my life daily, not just here or there or sometimes- "daily"! And this will be my focus, and I believe God will make it possible for me to do this for me. Thankyou brother for your wonderful message!

    Wow! Knowing that this was posted right before the pandemic makes it more convicting. God really took away just about everything so that we could make him the priority. Not glorify the tragedy but grateful to God for tearing the rug out from under us so that we could put Him first!

    Just tuned in.. When Preacher Parr said "when I try" that sums it up. I have to remember where my strength, help and blessings come from.
