    This brings so much clarity and confirmation on so many subjects. I’ve received my heart transplant 😭🙌🏽 it was grueling at times and He stood by and held me up as I went the scenic route to get to where I am now; but He’s so gracious, so loving, I had to learn the hard way at times too, BUT GOD!! Its been the hardest journey, and the MOST rewarding because this time I did it with God and I made ALLLL the difference and it’s soooooooo worth it! There’s no greater love- none! my heart now breaks for what breaks His. He has created in me a clean heart and a steadfast spirit. He continues to teach and minister to my heart; the greatest therapist, greatest surgeon, healer, redeemer, deliverer, the great I am! I now have eyes to see and ears to hear because I am a child of the most high- the only God, my Abba Father! I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine💕 often times people chase blessings and not the blesser! Amen to this sermon! Ask yourselves: what can I give my father for His birthday? What can I give Him? He is thee bread if life! Nothing matters unless He’s in it. He is the way, the truth and life!
    Thank you for always teaching and speaking on the “unpopular, hard” subjects (this along with other ones of yours) most don’t want to preach and teach. Amennnnnnn 👏🏼🙌🏽❤️‍🔥✝️💕 the goal isn’t to intentionally offend anyone, but to speak truth and if speaking truth offends anyone- they need to seek Him in prayer and look at their own heart posture of why it offends in the first place; weed out the bad root. thank you for your obedience. Thank you Holy Spirit. All glory to God 🙌🏽💕

      Hey Gerry, who says he hasn’t? You don’t know that. Neither do I. All he said was how a book about a believer’s testimony impacted his life. Ever heard the verse saying believers overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and by the power of their testimonies? Testimonies like the one he referenced have the power to overcome the enemy, so I think it’s ok to reference how they impact our lives to trust Jesus more. Heard the verse of Paul saying “imitate me as I imitate Christ”? The Bible is the only Word of God but not the only source of personal transformation. Please do not shame a brother for rejoicing in God’s work!

    Matthew 20:28 is by far the most important verse to remember going into this season: We give because we’ve been given.
    Instead of making Christmas about what good works our kids should do to earn gifts instead of coal, we need to start making it about faith - and about contentment with the one gift we already have that we could never be good enough for. Because THAT is how you celebrate this time of year the way it’s truly meant to be celebrated.

      Brother John, a good start is to read you Bible if you sincerely don’t want to drift away from your Saviour. It’s a discipline. Set your alarm if necessary- you don’t have to read huge amounts. Talk to God as your living Heavenly Father. Repent and ask him to help you in anything you know is wrong. God bless & help you, he will! xx

      Remember that the things in this world are temporary, but God is eternal. The comforts, riches, and fame we have here will at best be lost when we die. The things we do for Christ will bring rewards that last forever.
      "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

      @johnrimmontaquiso6018 I would like to share something to hopefully help you to stay on track with God. It isn't easy and takes work along with faith. (sorry so long, but I can't talk in just a few sentences)
      Years....ago. I was raised going to church. Like most people, I sat and listened to sermons. But rarely ever read the bible at home. I trusted it being read to me. So then the years snuck in and I got away from church and became of the world. I never forgot God nor Jesus. But I was not praising them daily nor walking in Jesus' path. And still not reading my bible for myself. I think I was afraid I couldn't understand it.
      Then years.....later. I was having a debate with a friend about the Sabbath day. Of course I thought I knew the bible, why not? I trusted the preacher was reading the right things and teaching me properly. So I thought I had the answers. Then I was basically forced to go to the bible and look these things up. When I started reading the bible it was like a foreign language. I had no clue what I was reading. But I remembered one verse where God said "if you search me with diligence, I will give you wisdom". Me not being a quitter, that quote kept me going. And over time, I was reading my bible.
      The more I read the closer I got to God and understanding. Then all of a sudden it was like a light went off in my brain. "Oh wow" I never knew that. And then I start reading the bible daily. I was so obsessed with finding out all of what took place back then. The Whys. My relationship with God was growing. I could feel his presence around me when I read and throughout my days I was thanking him for knowledge and couldn't wait to get back to my bible and find out more.
      Long story short. God put on my heart to read the story of Noah's ark. The formula to it in the bible did not add up. But I was diligent. I read and read. Then one day, it just came to me. I was given the amount of days Noah was on the ark. etc. So ever since then I wake up (almost daily) and ask God to take me where he wants me in the bible. And he does. He keeps me in his word. Since then I have found out a lot of things I did not know. It is now easier to read and understand. And by reading my bible and building a relationship with God has kept me on the right path. (no not being the best, no one is, but working towards it, God knows the intent of the Heart)
      I know this is a lot. But I am sharing with you that reading your bible for yourself is the ammunition needed. It will take you to Fight back. Don't give up. And don't give in. And always remember God is fighting also for you. "He let's us fall to our knees so that we will look up"
      He is waiting on you! God bless you and keep you. You will be fine.

    I hope you can help me with some advice. I have run a UK Christian ministry for 42 years and the ministry are Evangelical Alliance members. I have always been a very dedicated Christian. Last year one the guys involved in the ministry did something to me that completely ripped my heart out. This may sound like a very simple question but for me in my circumstance it is far from simple. HOW do I forgive this man? I really have no idea how to start and I really do need to find a way. You are by the way my all time favourite bible teacher.

      Was the sign of Cain a Lion. Cain worshipped Jehovah God. He offered sacrifices to him. So did Jehovah forgive him by marking his land with the Lion. The Mark of Cain.
      Genesis 4:13 At this Cain said to Jehovah: “The punishment for my error is too great to bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land,* and I will be hidden from your face; and I will become a wanderer and a fugitive on the earth, and anyone who finds me will certainly kill me.” 15 So Jehovah said to him: “For that reason, anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times.”
      So Jehovah established a sign for Cain in order that no one finding him would strike him. 16 Then Cain went away from before Jehovah and took up residence in the land of Exile, to the east of Eʹden.
      Genesis 4:24 If 7 times Cain is to be avenged,
      Then Laʹmech 77 times.”
      Matthew 18:21 Then Peter came and said to him: “Lord, how many times is my brother to sin against me and am I to forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him: “I say to you, not up to seven times, but up to 77 times.23 “That is why the Kingdom of the heavens may be likened to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

    Thanks for sticking to the plain truth about salvation, brother Winger. This is why I think "once saved, always saved" is harmful. Many people think they don't have to do anything but "believe" and the warnings of scripture don't apply to them or their faith. God loves them unconditionally, you know! Same with pre-destination: it damns people because they think, and are taught, that if they are "the elect" they can't help but be saved.

      Ur comment is a good example of the takeaway I feared this video would facilitate. No one is "fanatic" enough, and just because someone is fanatic doesn't even mean they are saved.
      The ppl on judgment day that say Lord Lord, but God turns away, those ppl were fanatics. Notice how they lean on their fanaticism to qualify themselves for heaven.
      Lot was saved, but he wasn't a fanatic. The angels had to practically force him out of Sodom and Gomorrah, yet God declares Lot righteous.
      It is good to serve God to the utmost, it is bad to rely on ur flawed service for salvation. Or to use ur flawed service as a qualifier for salvation. They'll be plenty whom "served" burning in hell because they rejected God's Salvation.
      Matthew 7:21-23
      New American Standard Bible
      21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’
