I got saved 4 years ago from homosexuality and drugs through Ray's ministry. The Cross finally made actual sense! God bless!!
Thats sounds great. Would you like to tell us more about that???
+atxangel512 Wow!! I am very happy for you! Glory to God! Blessings to you in your walk with Jesus!
Anna Sperger Thanks sis :-) and yes glory to our Creator and Redeemer!
+Roadli da Silva Almeida Absolutely! Go to www.everybodyisreligious.com and click on the LGBT link with the Rainbow flag icon. I made a pretty good video about it a couple of years ago. Hope it helps!
Absolutely fantastic! Thank God for your breakthrough. Keep witnessing for Him with your God-given testimony!
I don't want to be a bright spark for God. I want to be a towering inferno.
AMEN!!
Actually so Facts
🔥🕊️
Ray Comfort is his own brand of evangelism!! You just can’t help but love him!!
it’s the way Jesus evangelized
The WAY OF THE MASTER(The Lord Jesus Christ)!
This is amazing. The Lord saved me 4 years ago after hearing Ray preach. 2 years ago I was sharing my faith at the mall and I noticed that we were standing near a cafe and every person passing through was eating as they walked by. When I would start talking about Law and gospel, every person would stop and hear and they wouldn't speak as they ate.
Do you want me to pick something up?
@@MrBavado Pick up your cross and follow him whom died for your salvation from a righteous God. 😊🙏
@@Evangelist_Will i don't recall leaving this comment. I must have typed a comment when I was texting my wife.
@@MrBavado yeah pick up the yolk of Jesus.
Glory to God I found this Tonight! Saved my lukewarm spirit and my night. Thanks God for Ray ministry.
God bless you my dear
This here is a classic and timeless example of what's called A MAN OF GOD. Amen.
I wish I could meet Ray. I so appreciate men like him. Keep doing God's work Ray!!! Glory to God! Praise Jesus!
He is a humble man of God.
"Could you deal with your fear of man problem for the love of money when you couldnt deal with it for the love of God"
What a sweet heart! God bless him, His wife is lucky!
I think she's blessed right amen
never knew the passion of Ray Comfort. God Bless him:) How have I missed this? Love the old stuff!
Thank you, for this lesson I’m 51 and has never heard any Pastor encourage and teach like you just did, towards sharing the gospel you have given me the courage and tools to go and share my beliefs. God bless you brother amen 🙏🏼
"I wish i wouldn't smile at my own joke, but they're so funny" 😂😂
Dude, that really is his bible!

@Kate's Free
The great British preacher Charles Spurgeon said, “A Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to a person that isn't.” May that be said of your Bible one day.
@@yahuahyahusha7146 Do you know what version/translation he's using?
@@mooncove its KJV
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it.
Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this:
Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
What is that "glory", morally speaking?
Well, the opposite of human nature and desires.
Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us.
But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it?
Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The bible says "apart from God we can do Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
"The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the pain and be cut off from perfection forever
Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely so that we do not have to be punished.
Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
"I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26
ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
Religion = rules to be saved
The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What does it actually mean for us?
It means we can be free from the penalty of damnation.
Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
What does this new way of life entail?
It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
Sound "opposite" again?
God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
"With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26
What is the way FOR though?
Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation.
All we need is faith.
The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ?
That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
"those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
Don't know where to start?
Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (for a more detailed account of it all).
Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". -
Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if
you have any more questions or if you need any
clarification on anything

This is a powerful true message.
Best sermon ever, thank you God for your servant.
What about the sermon on the mount?
So powerful!!! Really made me think when you said could we witness to someone if we got $1,000 for every person we witnessed to... Makes me re-examine my life.
Thank you Living Waters Ministry.

I’ve never listed to a sermon by ray and oh boy do I feel the igniting of the fire for God may God continue to use ray for his glory’s sake man what one man of God can do let us all continue to work for Gods kingdom and not conform to this world for it is not our home God bless everyone in this ministry and anyone reading this 👋🏼
Sir I've watched your witnessing publicalyy many times online of course and I am impressed with the approach you use . I listened to this sermon first sermon I've ever heard from you, got a lots out of it, and I really appreciate the work you do for Jesus Christ. Thank you!
Ray, you MUST WORSHIP ALMIGHTY GOD for His infinate gifts of such powerful messages-especially this one!!! I was not only well informed, but LAUGHTER is BEST MEDICINE! DONT MINIMIZE because its an older message- nevertheless, its universal
your humour is such a gift from God!!! Thank you so much! (I'm a Brit, and particularly enjoy your Americanism!!! Rev it up! PREACH IT-- pray for me that God will grace me with His own version for me of what He has given YOU, that I don't kill em with seriousness before they get saved!!!
POWERFUL STUFF. 👌 👏 👍
Please pray for me in my walk. By my own admission I'd say I'm lukewarm but this video is definitely 🔥 Thank you and God bless 🙌
Vintage Ray Comfort - not HD but scratchy VHS has more charm, right ?
Indeed
Love ir
This is quality.
Wonder what Jesus & His words would be ?
It’s really comforting
Oh and I truly backslided I made way now I'm back with zeal and nothing can take me away from the arms of my saviour thankyou for the price you paid our graceful loving God Jesus Christ xxx
sam green I think I backslid how do you get your heart back on fire and back on the right path?
@@mtsaman-ios2979 faith comes by hearing the word of God. So read or listen to your Bible as often as you can!
Ray! Thank you! There's a church in South Lake Tahoe that has this VHS and I watched it in 2009. I love this video and the corresponding, "Hells Best Kept Secret."
Great message, all glory to God. Thank you for shining, and sharing God's love.
God bless.
Swedes are shy (don't like to talk to random people) and I'm shy by Swedish standards. No amount of money would give me more courage to evangelize. Only the zeal, fear of God and love for people could.
Wondrous video.Pastor Comfort is led by the God of all comfort.I was definitely comforted by the presence of God.Hallelujah,thank you Jesus.
I love listening to you Ray, you always make my sad days happy and on fire for Jesus. The world around you wants to destroy and defeat you including family members. I am strong but weak. God bless you and God watches over me as a born again Christian.
My Favorite SERMON OF ALL TIME BABY!!!! LETS BE ON FIRE. Quenching our fellow man through the cold, refreshing, humbling commandments and the warmth, therapeutic, healing powers of the Gospel. Free gift of everlasting life and Salvation through Jesus Christ is the cure to death.
Listening to this message in 2022 and it is as though I was there when it was preached. God bless you Evangelist Ray!💫.. Please pray for the younger generation like me to be zealous and fearless to share the gospel.
Living waters is a true ministry God bless your ministry 👍👍
Ray, like you I love eggs. They are the perfect food. Thank you for this very engaging sermon. Praying for your ministry, your family and yourself. God bless you!
I am a x Catholic too. What a blessing to know the truth.
Ray you are amazing!! A true gift from God. Thank you very much.
God, Please, help us ALL to REALize the REALITY of the situation, and cast off any and ALL excuses and SEE people on the edge of Eternity, because they ARE! And to let YOUR Passion POUR through us. In Your Holy Spirit and IN Jesus Name!
amen
Ray gives Comfort, don’t you agree? God bless you my dear brother in Christ.
Praise God that after all these years I find this video for the first time and God used you to minister to me. Thank you brother Ray.
❤
Awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed this. In a parking lot, went to look up a sports highlight and saw the young Ray Comfort and clicked. Watched the whole thing with joy. Thanks Ray
This is a wonderful sermon! Thank you Ray.
🤗Oh...that was Good !!! Thank you Lord for Ray Comfort and Your Word ✝️♥️👏🏼👏🏼🤗🙏🏻
My favorite sermon of all time. Thank you Ray.
What an incredible message! I watch you witnessing on your YT channel and your LW website and think I could never have the quick responses you do and you seem to have the entire Bible on the tip of your tongue and are ready for the right Scripture response. I’ve never heard a message from you though...you know...I want your head to fit through the door so I’ll just say from the bottom of my heart “Thank You” so much. God has blessed you to be a beacon to us all.
thanks brother. Very moving. I have been learning and reading my Bible but too seldom do I speak to others concerning my walk with God. (Like putting my candle stick under my bed). Thank you for reminding me to shine the light of salvation.
Absolutely true amen! God bless Ray and Living Waters! Prayers and Love from New Zealand! 🙏🏻❤️
Faith -
Joy
Physical Energy
Love for God
Compassion - the fate of the ungodly
nice!
in my dream from God I was shown Ray Comforts "body"...I perceived that his eyes and face looked so old eg mature, a very mature Christian...but his body was like a young body builders....(keep doing what you are doing Ray Comfort)
I just started listening to Ray. I thank God for him. The more I listen the more I want to go out and tell everyone about God's love for us.
I was very blessed by this message!! Thank you!🙏💕
I love this man for the GOD he stands and witnesses for.
GOD, I will like for You to do in me and through me, what You do in and through your son and servant Brother Ray, in Jesus' name. Amen!
A great sermon indeed! Thank you Ray and God Bless you and your family

Thanks ray God is giving me Strength while watching this
THE very best message I’ve ever heard Ray give! Maranatha!
This breathed life into my spirit.
Thank you for your words, your ministry
May God bless, strengthen, protect and provide that more may hear, know, and believe!
Until He comes!
Should we question that in the Bible, the inspired text states that the Earth was created before the sun, moon , and stars?
There are no mistakes in the Word of God. Only the interpretations of men.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
If God Almighty cannot handle that, how could he rain fire on Sodom and Gomorrah?
@@charleswesley2088for the same reason we chastise our children when they do something wrong The Bible saids just as a parent chastises those he loves so does God chastises those he loves he don’t but there is consequences for actions
Ray is such a great preacher. I wish more preachers would use humour to deliver God's word the way he does. It's magnetic!
This man is just so amazing. Love his passion for God ❤
Preach it brother so good
Thank you for this message Ray Comfort, that New Zealand flair shines through for sure. You're an inspiration and cause for motivation in activating and reigniting the Fire for God. Kia ora!
Thanks for the post. Praise the Lord for ya Ray.
You’re amazing faith is spoken through your gestures! I get it! I love you
I am so inspired I would be blessed if you were my pastor thankyou lord for technology and vhs
I really need this message right now. I question myself If I deserve God's love that do I really trust in Him fully because even at smallest trial I fall, I'm so, so so weak that even at the smallest suffering I already feel so down. I told God that I want to prove my faith and love in Him, I want to be a strong soldier of Him in this world. I admire the early Christians Faith, they're not afraid to die for Jesus, their Faith are so strong and I really, really pray to God to become that kind of person one day.
This sermon is great, thank you for posting it and everything else you share. God bless you, Ray!
I absolutely love this inspiring Sermon & you Brother Ray. What a glorious testimony you continue to deliver for Christ's Kingdom. An essential Sermon every Christian should re-listen at least once every year. Also one of the funniest Sermons & definite proof that there is true joy in God's presence, far above, everlasting & deeper than the world could ever offer. God Bless & my Prayers with you 🙏
Excellent points, wonderful delivery. May God spread your teaching far and wide. I am blessed for having the opportunity to listen to you. Thank God for Ray Comfort.
Ray is so good for us, those who have been Christians for years and non- Christians to hear. His presentation and deliverance is so refreshing, with the love and light of Jesus Christ shining through.
Praise God! This message is so relevant to me this very day. **Fist pump - YES!
Great preaching and an awesome teaching. I pray to God to give me boldness to spread His joyful word. 02/06/2021

Ray Comfort is a blessing to listen to. We are studying the School Of Biblical Evangelism on Monday Nights at our Evangelism class. I'm very thankful for the material and for the approach. Blessings in Christ to you all, from all of us here at Alive Ministries USA
I've binge watched your videos . . . they have helped me so much when I witness to people. /This kind of training is sadly lacking in most of our churches. Praise God for your ministry! Amazing what one person can do who is sold out to God!
Ray i just saw your short conversation to street, but now i know your a good preacher, good sermon..thank you ❤️❤️
Excellent message! Ray you are so funny and full of God's truth. Thank you for your encouragement to boldly speak to others about Christ regardless of our fears!
Thank you for showing us your older videos I really like it when those who make videos or anything having to do with messages, I love it how this video has been reuploaded on a birthday of mine. Thanks for sharing any of your videos especially older ones so we would not miss out of any more of your messages from God.
God Bless you, those you love, your crewmates, and those reading this comment. I love you and God loves you so I say these in Jesus name, Amen. ❤
Lord please revive me and many believers across the nations. and consecrate us for this... this is meaningful work..
