    Bro Blackwell, I was at PTP when you preached this wonderful sermon. This is truly eye awakening about where I will spend eternity. Things of this world, there is no benefit . I pray always to surrender my life to God’s will. There is a blessing always when we are in Christ. Pray for me as I pray for the Saints of Christ. God bless you and your family.

Don, you're a real warrior who doesn't quit the fight. I hope we all learn from this experience. Don I see that you have chosen to keep on preaching the mighty word of God. This situation is crazy! You are a blessing for those who see & hear God word. If I can be of assistance, please let me know.

    Two years ago, I was riding a bicycle and got hit by a car. I broke four verdabray,damaged my spinal cord I have two rods one in front and one in the back, holding everything together.
    It took almost 6 months of therapy to learn how to walk.
    So many things the pastor talks about, the feelings he had and so forth. I felt.
    That video made me realize just how fortunate I am.
    Thank you Lord Jesus for all that you have done for me and thank you pastor for sharing your thoughts about your accident.
    God bless you..

      *GOD'S PLAN OF SALV .ATION*
      _(For all have sinned and fall short of the of the Glory of God._ Romans 3:23)
      *Hear G .od's Word*
      Romans 10:17
      So then *faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.*
      Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be sa .ved.
      Romans 10:14 *How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?*
      Romans 10:15 **And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!**
      *Believe the Go .spel*
      John 20:30-31
      30 *And many other signs truly did Jesus* in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
      31 *But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.*
      *Repent of Your Sins*
      Luke 13:3 *...but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.*
      Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, *Repent, and be baptized every one of you* in the name of Jesus Christ *for the remission of sins,* and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
      *Confess Faith in Jesus*
      Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt *confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.*
      Romans 10:10 *For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.*
      Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him *shall not be ashamed.*
      *Be Baptized for the remission of sins*
      Mark 16:16 He that believeth *AND IS BAPTIZED* shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
      Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, *Repent, and be baptized* every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.* -never before nor without baptism but UPON.
      Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? *arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins,* calling on the name of the Lord.
      Galatians 3:27 For as many of *you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.*
      1 Peter 3:21 The like figure *whereunto EVEN BAPTISM **_doth ALSO now save_** us* (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, *but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)* by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:-James 2 works are the evidence of our salvation by the grace of Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. You cannot have faith without works nor salvation without works that PROVE your faith, otherwise, it’s just lip service and *God is not mocked.*
      *Live Faithfully Unto Death*
      Revelation 2:10
      *...be faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life.*
      Works are the EVIDENCE of our salvation by the grace of Jesus Christ. _Clearly_ if we are to be the New Testament Church of the Bible, this includes baptism in water for the washing away of sins. Everyone who the Lord added to the church was first baptized *immediately prior* to becoming a Christian.
      Acts 2:41 *Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them (the saints/Christians) about three thousand souls.*
      Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
      And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock *_I WILL BUILD MY church_* [that is, THE Church of Christ] and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
      Matthew 16:18
      Romans 16:16 *..the churches of Christ salute you*

    what a beautiful and honest testimony. So very true that we, as believers, in the USA put far to much importance on things that are NOT of the Spirit, and spend our entire lives so involved on this worldly life, that against the backdrop of eternity.....is a blink, and if we just understood that it isn't about our accomplishments, our family security, great jobs, or even good health. We are all called to be content no matter what life deals us. If we are not prepared for the storm?...then we will not run our race well, and life WILL beat us down and we will be overcome. We are called to a higher standard as Children of God, and we ARE overcomers and THAT is what Holy Spirit empowers us to be. So thankful for this amazing message. I have been so blessed and encouraged by it. Praise God for pastor Blackwell and I know God is still a healer, as I have witnessed it so much in my own life. The greatest healing was understanding that God loves us and is always working all things out for our good and His glory! in Christ name, Amen!

    God is completely sovereign. There is nothing that happens that He does not either cause or allow. So while God doesn’t cause bed things, He does permit them in His sovereignty. There is not a molecule in the universe outside of His control.

      Don Blackwell DENIES THE BASIC TEACHINGS OF BIBLE PROPHECY INCLUDING THE CHRISTIAN BLESSED HOPE, The Rapture.
      Secondly while interpreting Prophetic Scriptures, such as Matthew 24 Eschatology, he selectively quotes out of contexts to justify his denial of Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ.!
      Events which were foretold by Christ and His Apostles are CONVERGING before our very eyes yet Don Blackwell says we are not in the time of the Lord's Return nor in the End time.!
      But he or anyone who SPENDS ENOUGH TIME IN THE SCRIPTURES AND STUDY BIBLE PROPHECY, he will have to think twice before misleading ignorant people who DO NOT KNOW SCRIPTURES.!!

    • @PaulMaysHymns
      @PaulMaysHymns Před 4 lety +7

      Rajesh Gowda.Y.R. You clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
      Jesus is only coming as close as the clouds to take the faithful home.
      There is no earthly reign.
      “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
      ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      The term rapture does not appear in scripture. So you are the one guilty of concepts and doctrines “INVENTED” by man.
      You are misrepresenting Don as he absolutely does teach the accurate and biblical information regarding the second coming of Christ.
      You say we are in the time of the Lord’s return. Brother Don faithfully teaches that no one knows when the Lord will return according to JESUS whom so many deny.
      “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
      ‭‭Mark‬ ‭13:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬
      Claiming you know when the second coming will be IS denying Christ.
      I suggest you dig in honestly to the biblically accurate message that brother Don presents here and test him by the authority of the word. I John 4:1, Acts 17:11
