  • As one who never thought I did, I came to find that GOD was my most urgent need, I just didn't know it yet. This isn't a video about heaven, hell, or telling anybody what they need or don't need: its simply about - why I need God? Consider it a proposal, an opportunity, or a very gentle invitation: and the choice is completely yours.

    7:20 This is me. I've been a Christian my whole life, and I have assurance of my salvation, but my upbringing put very little focus on my spiritual being and needs. My environment changed a year ago and now I am surrounded by so many people who even if they don't live on that "highest floor," they've been there and it's marked them. I want so desperately the relationship with God that they have, but the ideas and ways almost feel foreign to me.
    I think I write this more for myself than for the rest of the internet to see, but I do want to share that even in my struggles, doubts, and questions, I know that God is leading me towards Himself. Even though sometimes it feels like I don't believe it, I know it's true.

All my life I have struggled with the concept of God loving me.... of having any worth in his eyes. I feel like Adam hiding from God after he ate the apple. I cannot pray I desire to but I feel like I choke when I try to talk to him. So I journal the words my heart has.... But still I feel like I hide, knowing full well my whole life is open before him and I cannot hide. When you pray please say one for me.

      I struggle with self-condemnation too, and I wish I could say that I’ve overcome it, but here’s a scripture to help both of us: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you a free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2). Also, don’t forget that God sent Jesus for us *knowing* how sinful we are. That’s true love.

      ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬-‭16‬
      You’re no longer naked in Gods sight. He’s clothed you with a robe of righteousness through the blood of Jesus and believing what He did. Now we can come to him boldly at any time, especially the times where you feel like you’re not good enough. Jesus has given us all an A+ report card with God when we just believe what he did for us.
      ”And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,“

Take a second to meditate on what He has done in your life. Personally, I’ve been blessed by his deeds in my life and understand that he loves me regardless of my sin. It’s not that I fear condemnation but want to improve myself through him as an act of love for him.

We keep telling non-believers that they can't do good works, but they can.. but God only accepts holiness, which is only through Christ because His blood purifies. We allow the critics put God in 3 stages: all loving, knowing and powerful.. but never counter with holy, merciful and judge.

      @@datboi6066 That's a lie from the pit of hell. As a Catholic, we are SURE of our salvation because of the MERCY and LOVE of Christ. Even in our sins, we respond to this love with our good works. Our actions and response to this love are a testament to the conformity our souls have to Christ and our TRUE love for Him. That Janseinist heresy you speak was condemned by the Church long ago. We do good works for the sake of Christ. Who cares if I am "good" (btw I'm not good) if it is not for Christ and a testament to His love????
      Our good works are not ours. They are HIS. He has purchased us through His Passion, and we are completely and totally His through His Resurrection and the Spirit. We can do NO good works without Christ. This is why as Christians we CAN be sure of our salvation because of GRACE and MERCY. Freely given by Him. Not earned. Given. And this is the Truth of who Christ is and who we are to become in the Spirit. God Bless.

    A CZcams channel named MindShift made a video responding to this one. Just thought I would let you know. Your videos are really well made too. One issue I find with this video in-particular though is that there's a lot of assumptions being made about what each person wants, needs, or hungers for. Might edit this comment later if anything else sticks out to me but was an interesting video to watch regardless.

      Mindshift is very unreasonable with many of his points, he leaves no room for proper translation on biblical issues and thinks he has a bunch of gottchas. At best, he does a good job in some things showing how Christians do not live up to Christianity, but that doesn't make Christianity false, it simply highlights what many who say they are Christians may not be, many are weak in the faith, and many have bought into just what their Church believes, without studying it all out for themselves and so on.

    I remember when I used to believe in a god. I did for many, many years. I felt “the Holy Spirit” and saw signs everywhere.
    Yet now, I don’t feel that anymore. I don’t miss it either. I’ve just grown skeptical and more aware of how logic and sound reasoning works.
    I hate to be the semantic person in the comments, but I just don’t hear anything that’s convincing in this.
    Sure, it’s mentally pleasing to talk about abstract concepts and for the greater good and mental improvement of ourselves, but I just don’t see how that means that there’s a spiritual realm out there. It just doesn’t add up. It very much sounds like wishful thinking with a side of logical dissonance.
    I appreciate the positivity of this video, because I’m sure you know the vast number of other ‘different’ types of content surrounding this topic. The typical fire and brimstone preaching, or even just the “atheists get owned compilation #56” type stuff.
    Even if we disagree on if this spiritual stuff is real, I appreciate your positivity and mood at how you approach the subject. Great video. 👍

      I completely understand where you’re coming from. When I was in high school about 10 years ago, I had a come to Jesus moment. I felt the Holy Spirit working in me I had unshakable faith like nothing could come between my relationship with him. Then something terrible happened in my life that made me lose all hope and I became very sad and depressed and lose my faith that God is real. I abandoned the faith for many years as I saw it as a joke. God never answered my prayers or so it seemed. I was heading down the wrong path. I filled my life with all types of carnal pleasures and nothing seemed to fill the void. I committed my life back to Jesus and I struggle daily but I feel a sense of purpose again. & I feel like life’s not all in vain. Life is hard and unpredictable but I know that my belief in God will help me get through to the end. I hope this comment finds you. I totally get where your coming from to at least some extent, I don’t know your story. But, it’s worth looking into again. God bless have a good day.

      One thing that i couldnt wrap my head around as an agnostic was how the universe began. Even if everything came from a single point or atom… where did the atom come from? No matter what sci-fi we tell ourselves to digest the scenario it all comes down to requiring an uncausable cause. Something outside of our realm.
      Here’s a philosophy question for you.
      Say something comes into existence… why? There is no need for the universe to have “existence” it could remain an empty void for eons. “Oh it was created from black matter and energy waves.” Cool… where did those come from…

    I know this may be falling on deaf ears, but I personality disagree with many things that you claim in this video and other videos on your channel. As an agnostic, I can't help but be happy in that second level. I don't have any inner feelings of emptiness. I seek truth by learning about the sciences and learning how things work. I do my best to be morally correct because being immoral makes me feel terrible.
    I also feel that these values are not gifts from god, but direct products of evolution and humankind. We have morals because it benefits others and increases the community's chances of survival, and our pursuit of truth is what made us superior to other animals.

    Honestly, I agreed with most of what you said up until the part about Jesus. That’s where it gets tricky. How can anyone possibly know that he is the only one that is right, out of all the other teachers? It sure would be nice and much easier if that were the case - I just feel like it’s a simple answer for a very challenging question. I think you’re right about it being incredibly challenging to go from intellectual to spiritual enlightenment. But there are a lot of assumptions one needs to begin making about the nature of God to assume they would send a savior to show us the way. It could be that, instead of hoping for something outside of life, maybe the point of this life is to experience this life itself, and accept it as it is.

    I am not a Christian and I'm curious about one of the comments because I tend to hear this a lot. If you're committed to the belief that there absolutely MUST be something else that goes beyond this world and nothing can change that, then is it seriously possible to have a discussion with someone who doesn't think that on a level playing field? I ask because it doesn't seem to be the case for me.
    The statement "there must be something more" is an immediate discussion ender (or thought-terminator as some other people call it). If a non-believer admits there is a possibility that something else out there (but isn't convinced of it), but the believer has an unshakeable acceptance that there MUST be, then the believer is admitting that it's impossible for a change in their perspective, compared to the unbeliever who admits that they could change their mind.
    For me it just seems insincere for a believer to want to have a real conversation with people about faith if a believer has made up their mind already (something more MUST exist) and refuses to entertain the mere idea that that simply might not be the case.

      I think coming from the Christian perspective it’s not so much the question of possibility but the battle of trying to have a relationship with Him.
      The ideas of doubt and human curiosity is a situation that all believers have probably went through. But the important thing is putting the will of God into practice and maintaining a relationship with him.
      So long as you maintain that relationship, you start to find peace.

      I don’t know why you needed to share your opinion in such a random unwanted hawkish way when literally all you’re saying is ‘I don’t agree with you, your belief in God is stupid and a reason to cope with life’ when you could’ve just gave a thoughtful argument without being so randomly aggressive, then again, this could be rage bait

    "That isn't just wishful thinking" that's literally exactly what it is.

      It's not. I wished it to be over at death years ago, it was my greatest desire at some point, but I was confronted with the fact that I don't believe it to be the case. Didn't wish it, but couldn't believe otherwise in clear conscience.

    And now God’s teaching has been poised with the things of this world. People does not seem to understand that the time on this earth is limited and this Blue planet is not our real home. Our real home is up there, within the very fabric of the universe, where the soul can rest and where we can find the part of ourselves that we miss.

    This video outlined every single point I’ve been aching over and praying about in my life FOR MONTHS. Every single thing, the desire to be truly wanted and loved, the carnal emptiness, the homesickness, EVERYTHING. These are all points I have only ever had the courage to tell Jesus, and even then I was so ashamed to do so because I thought I was beyond repair or deserved to live in pain. I saw all these other Christians on social media and wept because my life didn’t look like theirs, I didn’t have that LIGHT and I didn’t understand why. I’ve been ACTING for MONTHS because I thought I was the only one with this struggle (WHICH IS TO STUPID I KNOW). I could never put a name to my struggles until THIS VIDEO and I cried three times watching it. And even prayers that I prayed THIS MORNING WERE ADDRESSED HERE. WOW.
    The Lord not just spoke through you, He SCREAMED brother😭😭 thank you so much for posting this video, Jesus works INCREDIBLY through you. Much love, God bless you

    “I don’t care who you are or what you believe. I’m sure that resonates with every single one of us.” Nah. That just sounds like an unfounded claim to me.

      so you never had that gut feeling that there's more to us than just our flesh? Seriously, be honest with yourself, you're not a kid anymore, I'm sure your mind has wondered many thoughts throughout your years. If you're an adult, by now you have definitely thought about your soul.
