- Here are 7 things that Christians just need to stop saying. As I listen to many Christians talk, we sound more and more like the world. We use words and phrases that they use and there is often times not real distinction between what we say and what they say. In this video I provide 7 very common things that Christians say that I would encourage us to rethink and instead, say something else! Let me know your thoughts below!

A little different video today FAM. But, this has been on my heart and I hope it blesses you and that we all pay a little closer attention to the words we speak. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments AND if you'd like to add anything.
Thank you! I truly need this reminder. I just heard from a loved one that actually wish that on me This morning
Hmm. He says he has been DELIVERED! OK!
Thank you Allen. One thing I would like to point out with love and respect is you said to change “good luck” for “I wish you the best”. I believe you should use the word Hope instead of wish. To wish means
-to have a desire for something, such as something unattainable- which is similar to saying “good luck”. Hope is a much better way to express your feelings. GOD bless you keep up the good work.
Love you teachings brother, just need clarification please (I'm new to this and still on Milk - not meat yet) #7 is a bit confusing for me because of Mathew 7 vs 1 "Judge Not, that ye be not Judged"? Help!
THE BEAT by Allen Parr If the Holy Spirit leads you, would you do a video about Christians playing the lottery? There are many Christians I know who consistently play. Thank you.
Hey, how are you sir.. I've been following your videos for the past few weeks and I really enjoy it.. Ton of knowledge and it is backed up by scripture and not just your opinion... Hard to find that combination nowadays!!!
My question is, what are your thoughts about the teaching on the spirit of Jezebel? Now I've studied this for a couple of years now and one scripture that stood out to me was
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
With this scripture being said, how is it possible God allowed Jezebl to be mauled by the dogs correct? She died in the flesh but her spirit still roam the earth wreaking havoc? If that is the case, every evil man and or woman whether they were mentioned in the Bible or not, when they die they spirit is still roaming and they still are allowed to do the same evil they were doing prior to dying.. Right? To teach on the spirit of Jezebel contradicts a lot of scripture, right? I mean Jezebel had a ton of characteristics of almost every demonic unclean spirit there is. These unclean spirits that influenced Jezebel have been around way before man.. So, there is no way possible that her spirit is still around when the above scripture clearly tells us that her body returned to the dust "hence the orginal man created was created from dust which was Adam" and the spirit returns to God whom gave it.. Her spirit went before the Lord to be judged and body laid where it was, or whatever was leftover of it.. The unclean spirits that influenced her are the spirits that are still roaming not her spirit, right or wrong? I've even heard people say the spirt of Ahab, the spirit of Herod. The Abraham spirit, the spirit of Joseph etc.. The list goes on
Someone: whats your sign?
Me: the sign of the Cross
Marlene Fearon I like that response!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I ❣it!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Lol
Yes!👍🏼
Mine is mermaid.. when they say " that doesn't even exist" ..I'm like .." neither does yours 😄
It's not karma... it's whatever you sow, you will reap (Galatians 6:7)
Viviana Aguilera thank youuuu!!!!!! It’s not all about God’s grace and mercy. You will reap what you sow whether it’s good or bad.
Wait, but didnt the video guy say you dont reap what you sow? Another woman in the comments said the book of Job proves this.
@@LouisFGraham the idea here is that there are times in our lives that good and bad things happen that just seem undeserved/unfair/unearned. As for whatever seeds you do plant though yes you will eventually reap its harvest.
LouisFGraham There's a difference, in one case you reap what you sow and in other satan tried to test Job and God allowed it...BUT if you think about it even in the hard moments Job was going through, he still didn't blaspheme the Lord's name which is what satan wanted...even in difficult times he was sowing his faith and did not turn away from God and in the end he reaped twice as much as what he had in the beginning...God honors those who honor him! :) I hope you understand this explanation
That's talking about preachers telling lies people.
*Read The Damn Book Other Than That One Scripture Taken Out Of It.*
How the hell you know what it's talking about when It's been removed out of its story? IMPOSSIBLE!
How these DEACONS OF THE DEVIL Fool All Of You EVERY SUN DAY! (Saturday is God's Day Of Rest!) *DEVIL WORSHIPPERS!*
The Bible tells you NOT TO BOW DOWN to people.
*You Go To These Churches And Bow Down To The Preachers!*
The Bible says not to worship GRAVEN IMAGES.
*You worship and pray to a CROSS, sometimes With A Man On It.*
Sermon on the mount! Why was he on the mount?
*HE TOOK ALL OF THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE CHURCH AND TOLD THEM NOT TO GO BACK!*
NOW do you know why they HUNG HIM FROM A TREE? LYNCHED! (only two places written in the bible that he was hung from a tree!)
*See What You Miss When You Don't Read The Entire Story?*
WAIT UNTIL YOU LEARN WHAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION REALLY SAYS! *You have the Bible!* Read The Entire Stories!
That’s why I pray right then in there when I say “I’ll pray for you”
Exactly. Why wait? Pray right there.
Amen
I had the same thought but then he said 'and don't just pray one time, commit to pray for them over a season'. I think his point is to not make a verbal promise. I will often say a spontaneous prayer when I hear something that I think God could help with, but that's not quite the same as promising a person to pray for them. however, I'm fairly new to Christianity so if you have clarifying thoughts I would love to hear them..
It’s so hard for a 10 year old to understand all this and still pass judgement day like it’s so much to take in at such a young and prepare and do all those things
So do I.
I use to get yelled at when I said, “I’m starving.” I was quickly reminded of people in the world that are TRULY starving.
Maybe you said it in an insensitive way or you probably said that in front of a starving Angolan child. There is a reason they probably said that, so maybe provide better context cause I'm sure your not telling us everything.
Epsteindidntkillhimself Shut up!
Epsteindidntkillhimself Your reply makes no sense!
@@jrbowdree1 Right back at ya child.
I tell my son that all the time. You don't know what staving is. There are many children in this world that have know food.
raise ur handand if u found urself sayn at least 1 of these...✋
now repent
✋
Sadly I have to raise my hand and hang my head in shame 😨
I said 2 good and luck
Michele McDaniel
Even though you are actively attacking people so are religious for no damn reason. Another atheist crazy. Ew.
Unfortunately, I have said “good luck” multiple times bc it’s mostly non Christian friends i speak to... I repent.. sorry Heavenly Father..
Say "may God give you favor"instead of luck
Thanks Linda I'll use that😘
LegitFox same
I like that!
Thank you
'Wish" you the best is the same as good "luck".
I feel like I'm kinda guilty of all of these or a lot of them. I didn't know how bad I sounded as a Christian teen. I truly need to stop. Thank you so much!!
ShutCircle469 _ Do I need to ask for forgiveness when I say these things?
Yes always ask for forgiveness truly from the heart. It will make you feel better Inside too
ShutCircle469 _ can u give me a prayer about this sin?
Yes of course
ShutCircle469 _ is what is the prayer?
I repent in Jesus s Name.
Yes Amen! You’re blessed ✝️
Amen!
❤️
Amen!
Reading the book of Job will tell you that you really don't always get what you deserve all the time. But God is still good in any circumstance.
Angeline Hatcher that's a really good point
Psalms 103* that Brother Parr is AMAZING 🤗
saved oh sis trust the Lord and have faith! You're single, beautiful, love the Lord, and no kids! Enjoy this time and still keep that desire for marriage at the same time! Start working on forgiveness, humbleness, and communication because you'll need it when God sends that husband. Even Allen wasn't married until he was 40. Stay faithful and become frustrated. Cry. Then laugh, then complain and then ask for forgiveness and do it all over again. Of course I'm not literally telling you do these things in this order but I know how you feel because I was there 2 years ago and I'm still there now even though I've been in a 2 year godly relationship. Now I'm frustrated that he didn't propose yet lol so even after a relationship, it'll be another reason Satan tries to steal your joy but God is faithful even when we're not. So I just lean on Him at all times. And that's the best thing we can do along with a lot of prayer of course
Actually you do, someday. God just chose not to give your rewards right now.
@@Angelinesekle I want to share this song with you!!! 🙌🙌🙏✝️❤️🕊️😘😘😘🤗😊

#8: “God knows my heart.” When confronted about your sin and you don’t want to stop.
Yes! I agree. It's an excuse that will only do us harm.
Miranda Loves Food Great point. Someone’s awareness of God’s meticulous understanding of their heart should not be lead to passivity or complacency about sinful behavior but growing guilt as they begin to understand the implications.
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.
(Prov. 21:2 NAS95)
“The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; *Who can understand it*
(Jer. 17:9 NAS95)
For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, *God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus*
(Rom. 2:14-16 NAS95)
so true
That’s so true😩
That's a good one too Miranda however I never used that phrase but I hear it all the time.
"Stop saying 'it's not my place to judge,' it IS your place to judge, we need to learn how to judge in the right way." Wow felt that. I try so hard not to judge others, but I suppose telling the truth is better than trying to protect their feelings. Kindness without truth is meaningless; truth without kindness is just mean.
It is written: You know them by their fruits. It's not judging, but through discernment you can see where people are located. Selah!!
Matthew 7:16
Yes, we judge according to righteousness using the Lord and His Word as the standard
We are Fruit Inspectors LOL 😂!!
"Judge not that yet be not judged"? Sound familiar?
Cristians also need to stop saying “Oh My God” as well that’s blasphemy
Edit: made this comment a yr ago pray for me I’ve been turning from god.
That's not blasphemy but using the name of God in vain. Blasphemy is calling yourself god
Michael - YES !! I couldn't agree more. The Lord's name is sacred. Saying, "my God," or "... God ..." is taking the Lord's name in vein. It trivializes the great name of our creator.
Peter V agree 100%
Yes, that phrase should be on that list as well, unless you are genuinely calling on God based on the situation in front you.
God's name isn't God so there's no blasphemy. (Psalms 83:18 KJV)
Instead, say “Can I pray for you?” And pray for them right in that moment! It will have a bigger impact on you and them. Plus God loves when people pray together😊
Love this!
Just start praying almost immediately
Yes, I know I’ll probably forget so I usually just pray for the person as soon as possible instead of leaving it for my prayers at night
Very true
@@parillo2741 I started doing the same when I realized I often forgot! It really does mean so much to them (and to me!) when someone offers prayer in that very moment 🥰
How many ppl say follow your heart and the Bible says your heart is deceitful and who can know it.
Yes , good one. So many things I would have changed if I would have prayed and seek God first instead of following my heart or a humans counseling.So right Do not always follow your heart. A heart can be broken if we do not seek God first.
@@kurtcummins8426 you're absolutely right, our friends and loved one's can give bad counsel without even knowing it because their hearts may not be in the right place either
AMEN!!! 🙌
So true, that just shows how people repeat what they think sounds right instead of what is right.
@Tiffany k: The UNREGENERATE heart is deceitful. In Christ we are redeemed and made new. The Spirit resides within those in Christ and will not lead us astray.
YES!! It makes me so mad when professing believers say that!! Jesus never said follow your heart, he said deny yourself!!
I found myself in this video:
1. I often wish "Good luck!"
2. Even fasting: I ask about Zodiac signs to people and more pageants answer they do not trust anything about astrology. Curiously, I'm the one to say that something are correct. Then at then, I feel inside me saying "if you could spend those time talking about God, You would please Him."
3. Karma too
Thank you Jesus. Honestly our God cares attentively about us. This video is blessed.
Marina Joys Do I need to ask for forgiveness when I say these things?
CrunchyKev TG yeah
@@crunchykevtg5155 My dear, we all need to ask for forgiveness to God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I'm trying to stop... and loving God above all things makes us draw close to Abba Father.
It’s okay I struggle with astrology too. Praying for us!
@@marinajoys Love, stay away from Joyce Meyer she turns the word and only says what they want to hear to get a bigger audience. She only cares about money and many others as well who ride in private jets and mansions look it up on CZcams.
I use to believe in Astrology, psychic, and the law of attraction but after I gave my life to Christ, was born again, and got baptized, I learned the truth that these things are idolatry. Thank God for his word and truth! Thank You for speaking his word with no fear
What
How's gravity blasphemous? That's something real.
@@Strongtower The law of attraction!
They dont talk about gravity, LOA is when you attract blessings, making yourself God, its against the Bible
I relate to this! Those things and worrying about keeping my “manifestation” process a secret from others brought me so much anxiety!
"What's your sign?". I say I'm a STOP sign, cuz that junk stops with me.
Imma you this good one 👏🏼
Nice one
Haha, Imma say that to people when they ask
🤣🤣 Good one!
😂😂😂❗️
Stop cursing yourself saying," I'm sick and tired"or "I'm dead".
What if you are tired what are you supposed to say?
@@wateredeggs8198 Say what God says use your sword of the spirit.One thing you can say is Isaiah 40:28-29 “He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.” Speak life!
@@wateredeggs8198 not saying it will be better, or you could say something like: I am tired but I will overcome through Christ" that saying how you feel and actually blessing yourself by adding that strength word to it...
God bless you!
Sick or tired has nothing to do with death.
Naman Kumar no, but being cursed with sickness and tiredness can surely lead to death, or a bad and harsh quality of life...
God bless you dear one 💚✨
I’m honestly glad of this comment section, I’m a Christian teen and I notice A LOT of kids my age do a bunch of these.
That’s because u don’t know any better and your parents just don’t care enough to teach u better, most likely because they themselves say these same things. It’s time for you to educate them.
The “I’ll be praying for you” phrase is so common all across social media
Laga Savea You are right but I wonder are they really doing that praying for you, me and other people ? February 16,2021
Ur right on many vlog channels I have seen it and people spamming prayer emojis
I’ve used it a lot lol 😅
1. Karma 1:07
2. Good Luck 3:19
3. Knock On Wood, Jinx, Fingers Crossed 4:24
4. What’s Your Sign? 5:20
5. I’ll Be Praying For You. 6:17
6. I Need To Pray About It. 7:19
7. It’s Not My Place To Judge. 8:26
*From someone who is still striving for patience, thank you for this* 😁
Thank u
1,2 and 4
Thank you
Im.guilty of 7th.. because i am a failure
When someone asks me, “what’s your sign?”, I always say, “no trespassing”. Lol
Shelly Benton imma have to steal that one lol
I'm taking it lol
we could also say "The cross" 🤔
"Slippery when wet."
I'm stealing this😁
I grew up in a Christian household and heard and used these phrases or words all my life. Never gave them a second thought. Now I will. Thank you!! Appreciate your straight forward, Christ, Bible based facts. You videos are great!!! God bless you!!
It’s not “why does bad things happen to good people” but “why does good things happen to bad people” No one is good but God!
AMEN, THERE ARE NO GOOD PEOPLE, JESUS SAID THE HEART IF WICKED, WHO
CAN KNOW IT
Amen! God is Good all the time and all the time GOD IS GOOD! :D
When I tell someone I'm going to pray for them... I do it right that minute.. then in my prayers as well.
Miriam Cooper I do too.
I do the same thing. I pray that very minute. That way I wont forget.
I do the same. :)
I pray for people, but I never tell them. I don't do it to make them happy. I sometimes tell them afterwards.
@@MrDogsledder that is a good thing. I believe that sometimes though people need to know someone cares enough to pray. Also when people ask for prayers their faith adds to the strength of the prayer. Although doing things without recognition has it's own rewards as well.
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry - (James 1:19) and I hear the words "Karma" and "lucky" loads too!
Hey hi i wantes to say you that sometimes the short words arent good either because you can translate the "lol" to laughing out loudly or something like that and you can translate "lol" to "lucifer our lord" ye worldly words are kinda bad..too
@@mrmadeyehd9878 oh you are right I never thought of that.or oml to oh my luci**r true
God knows our hearts! So lol could really stand for many things, but most people mean laughing out loud. God knows what is the intent of the heart. The heart will either accuse us or excuse us! We can't hide it from God or ourselves! We know what we mean an God sees everything! 🙌🙌🙌🙏✝️❤️🕊️😊
@@Grace-nt9cc I agree.
First of all luck don't exist! God is in control of everything within our lives! You might not agree with someone, but you can always love them. Love rebukes, but it does so in meekness with gentleness. I don't believe in saying good luck!!! I believe in prayer and asking of God to bless and help us to grow in His wisdom and knowledge to be more like Jesus. I think we should give thought to what we say. If we are to hold our thoughts captive to see if they are of God, why not our words. After all they are formed from how we think!!! God bless you and make His face to shine upon you! 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏✝️❤️🕊️🤗
The whole book of Job goes against karma
Wow thats good very good
People: "good luck"
Me: "I don't believe in luck"
I don't believe in magic neither
@@alexthegreat1395 I mean magic is real, but that's not what I trust in.
@@-HalleluYAH- ok
Alex B. Great magic is real aha
dont reply "i dont believe in luck" instead i would say "God bless u".
Love how you base this on the Biblical concept of “empty words.”
Caribbean Ín The House God loves us all. He hates sin and only God knows who is going to heaven. Why are you spreading false doctrine?
@Caribbean Ín The House
Please read John 3:16-18. If this passage does not answer your question, then you honestly don't want to know the truth. Keep in mind, you will stand before the Lord in judgment, as we all will, on that great and terrible Day. I pray you will be prepared for it. 😇🙏🙏 Peace to you, my friend.
Kathie Rouse I don’t think it will be terrible day if you are saved! It will be a glorious day to meet the Father and Son in heaven! 😇
There is no race. We are all shades of brown. We are all made in the image of God.
@@KittyChanU2 no esau is red but claiming to be white. Esau is also a neanderthal check that blood.
I became aware of saying "luckily" something happened or "luckily" we had this or that. I did pray about it and pondered why I would say that when I know it had nothing to do with "luck". I realized that I really meant THANKFULLY. Thankfully this happened or thankfully we had this or that.
hashtagCatholic great point, great rephrase. We should all be thinking these through and planning what’s best to say.
I'm going to pray to God so that I can stop saying stuff like that
Oooo- that's a great way to phrase what I'm (we as Christians are really thinking) THANKFULLY instead of Luckily. Thanks for your post!!
I've been a follower of Christ for 4 years now and for the last year I started feeling weird saying "good luck" and I would think to myself "we need God's favor not luck" lol😅😄❤🙏🏼
Goodmorning, my name is Brenda. I was blessed to come across "The Beat" a few days ago. I truly love watching it. You are so informed and you back everything up with scripture, thank you Allen for doing this. I have learned alot from you in the past week and I feel you have helped me to understand so much. God Bless you and your family. Keep up the good work. I look forward to more.
Bro, I was saved at 14, but man this is most excellent.
Thanks for keeping us accountable, Allen. 👊🏽
Oh, I am convicted..."I'll be praying for you." I usually pray once but it is usually not an action I continue with. Thank you for these distinctions.
"Mother Nature" is another term like "Good Luck" that the secular world uses so as not acknowledge God
Yes! I’ve always noticed that the term “Mother Nature” doesn’t get as much commentary as the other words and phrases mentioned in the video. I’ve always thought saying “Mother Nature” was weird and alludes to a type of Earth or “Gaia” worship, where you think all things in nature have their own spirits. I think that’s called “Zoroastrianism” but I may be wrong. Sort of like how Native Americans believe that everything has a spirit force or something like that. Definitely secular but also pagan.
@@historymajor26 or the universe or "thank the stars" lol
Thank you for this video! I am a Christian who didn't realize the "karma" definition, and gave no previous thought to saying "knock on wood," etc. I knew the astrological signs were, for lack of better words, ridiculous & evil. However, when I say, "I'll be praying for you," I follow through. The part about judging was enlightening. I want to share this with my church! GreAt stuff.
You watch devdutt Patnaik . Show
the last one is similar to “ only God can judge me”. Meaning you do evil things and you don’t wanna stop
AMEN!!!!!!!!!
It is time for judgement to begin with the house of God
Amen!!!
You said everything quite right my brother. Keeping doing your ministry for the glory of our Lord.
GOD bless you!
When I tell someone I will pray for them I immediately say a small silent prayer. This serves as a reminder to more completely pray later.
YES!! There are SOOO many words I stopped using because I NOW understand the origin of these words. We MUST be careful of the WORDS we use. Put it out there!
The phrase that bothers me is "It's to die for." For instance, "That dessert is so delicious, it's to die for". I cringe every time I hear someone say it.
Well to be fair, your words aren't the problem. It's the meaning behind them. Understanding that that phrase originated from the bible in the first place makes it perfectly fine to say. In fact, it can be good to say that. Jesus died for us because he loved us so much that even after being tortured by us he still asked God to forgive us. So if something is to die for it must mean it's really good. And that's it haha you dont have to analyze everything you say. Analyze your motive for saying it
@Amina Seymour I just want to say that I really appreciate your replies. To live for or to die for, either or. I like what you meant. I like what your heart was saying and not just your words. God judges the heart. Your intentions for what you said were good in my eyes and I believe in his aswell. I think your reply was just as correct as any
Or “I would kill to have that”
Y'all take everything to literally .
“Hey brother, I’ll be praying for you”. You got me brother, thank you for opening my eyes to that I feel very convicted for having done that and neglecting to actually continually pray for those I say that too. It’s time for me to repent.. God bless you, I thank the Lord for your videos and teachings they are very much needed
Another thing Christians should not say: “I’m dating Jesus.” 😂
DW Backup why would someone say that in the first place lol
It doesn't sound right. Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, we are to worship him not date him.
Gabe Smith Some girls say this when they are single. ☺️ It’s so dumb... when they start dating does that mean they break up with Jesus? 😂
DW Backup oh lol but still though not the best thing to say
We’re the bride of Jesus
I was brought up thinking if I seen a penny and it was heads up, pick it up, all day long have good luck. I was told if it's on tails, bad luck is coming. Well, recently my cousin shared her "penny story" and any time she seen a penny, she would use it as a reminder to trust in God. I've recently adopted that thinking and I'm amazed! There are moments when I overwhelmed, confused, and angry! I will then, out of nowhere, see a penny laying on the ground or sidewalk. I'll pick it up, see "in God we trust " and remember her penny story. I will pray and thank God for being there even when I am not aware. God calms me down and blesses my heart!
AMEN WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO JUDGE AS LONG AS IT IS RIGHTEOUS!
It always grieves my spirit when I hear a Christian say, "Oh, my God". Or when they text OMG. To me, it is a form of taking the Lord's name in vain.
I think you might be misunderstanding what taking the Lord’s name in vain truly means.
Taking the Lord’s name for a vain thing: meaning that you claim or appropriate the name of God for something that is not of Him.
I am not saying OMG is the best reply, it just don’t consider it blasphemy. It’s an expression not an affirmation. But that’s my opinion.
New subscriber! Thank you! Every time I say I'm going to pray for someone, I turn around and do it immediately when we get done talking so I don't lie to them! This is truth!
I'd like to add one if I may. It really bugs me when Christians say "holy crap". There isn't anything holy about crap.
I know I say that one
true
@@linoleluminum2017 try holy moley nobody really knows what a moley is so what the hey lol
I grew up on a farm. Have you ever seen a dried up cow 🐄 pie after the maggots have done their thing? It’s holy crap.
When someone asks for prayer or I say I'll be praying, I do it as I'm talking to them. I don't need to walk away. Just pray!!!!
Why are disrespect my religion, im a Buddhist like there are ready lots religion in the world ,like the jews book and your bible says that they are the bless race, now what
Jesus Lives, I also try to pray as soon as something comes up because I would forget my own head if it wasn't attached. I say lots of little prayers all day long. I think I learned this works best for me and my chaos brain haha. I also very much love praying with my husband everyday. It really has brought us even closer. Plus, maybe God hears us and is like aww man now there's 2 of them praying about this, I better get on it. lol God bless, sister.
@@squishywatchbee3010 Amen sister! 🙌Same here
@@screbbels Thank you for that beautiful answer. I don't think I need to answer. I couldn't have said it better myself
@@screbbels we all ARE created in His image, but not all His children. We are all His creation, but not every single one of us is His children.
The word says we (born again believers) are adopted children by God the Father. Not every human being has a Father child relationship with Him unfortunately.
Keep doing what you do. This is a powerful message! ✨
Amen. I’ve been walking with the Lord for only 3.5 years, but within my first year, I stopped using these phrases because I realized they aren’t biblical (actually they are anti-biblical). It pains me when I hear my Brothers and Sisters using them. Thank you for making this video.

You forgot #8. When Christians says "God helps those who help themselves" which is definitely NOT biblical.
Dave Valens can you explain?
LordQueef bcoz there is no that scripture in the bible

Still pray for your enemys
Amen. I hear that too much, especially from Christians. Smh

@@schneiderv.9564 Lord*
My child and I will watch this together soon. Thanks Allen ❤🙌❤
Also add OMG. we need to stop saying that immediately!!!
I was looking for that in the video. I haven't said it in months, and my life is just fine without it.
Absolutely! 👍🏼
I try to say oh my goodness
Claudia B i say that a lot lmao
I say oh my goodness
Or gosh
But yes
You also need to be careful about who is praying for you. I DONT want just anyone praying for me because they may be praying their will not God's will.
Repeat that in caps for those who may be scrolling quickly! 😁👍😎👍😁
Please emphasize this with more people! I had an ex who prayed that the Lord would bring us together to ultimately pursue marrige. Thankfully that was not the Lord's will so the relationship didn't last long, but it definitely taught me to be mindful of who was praying over me and WHAT they were specifically praying for.
If they are not praying according to God’s will what do you have to fear? It’s not like that prayer will be effectual, that is unless you appropriate that prayer and live in it instead of in the Word.
Number 5!!! I believe in prayer after I've seen demons leave during my prayer. I know laying your hand on someone helps too. I have had someone with the Holy Spirit lay hands on me while praying and WOW IT IS AMAZING! Some of the effects are felt instantly. Not always. Remember to have patience with prayer AND NO EXPECTATIONS! If it is in HIS will, it shall be done. Also, 6 got to me because I do pray on things....but not to avoid uncomfortable answers lol. I appreciate Allen so much. I am a lonely born again Christian but I'm slowly finding the body of Christ in my life. ❤
My pastor taught a service similar to this. Another one he mentioned was OMG. We are not to take the Lords name in vain. Goodness, that hit me right between my eyes when I saw how many times I had done that. I’d even say Mary, Jesus & Joseph in horrific situations. I realized how much I’d say without thinking.
I love listening to you & have been binging in my rest times. Thank you Allen for listening to the Father. Blessings.
I knew there was a reason I would always feel weird or second guess myself when telling my sister good luck before any exam 🤔
No need to over examine that. I would say the intent of your message was good. So WHAT if you used the wrong word according to the Bible. Jeezus. Give yourself a break. OMG, I'll bet that's really Biblically incorrect.
@@rashone2879 ...You might want to rethink taking the Lord Jesus's name in vain..even if you misspell it. We're also not on a Bell Curve of ..."at least it wasn't as bad as (-----). If Nicole felt convicted, then allow the Holy Spirit to convict.
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 Blah blah blah. I wasn't spelling the name of Jesus Christ was I? That's a different name that just sound the same when you pronounce it. Please don't preach to everyone. Here's how to live: Be a good neighbor. Quipping Bible verse means nothing other than a person has a good memory. It's what you DO that counts.
I'm surprised that "Oh My God" is not on your list...I hear Christians saying that all the time and it's taking God's name in vain!
Andy Newman true ...it should be the number 1 on the list..
Actually, that commandment means not to attribute to God things that he didn't do or say. I do think "Oh my God," is disrespectful; along with other expressions and curses that use his name. The cursing might actually qualify as breaking the commandment.
More accurate translation is "shall not carry Gods name in vain", this is doing evil in the name of God.
You can say "oh my God" or "GD" is wrong or bad. But it's not in a commandment.
I assumed it would be in there too. Ancient Jews had so much respect for God’s name they would never write it lightly, for fear they would need to cross out something they had written or scrap it in some way, yet here people are throwing it around in a meaningless way, when they aren’t even referring to him. It’s despicable.
The 3rd Commandment is about hypocracy... the ONLY UNFORGIVABLE SIN in the Bible....
Wearing the name of God and causing reproach on Him by our actions. Giving the athiests ammunition to laugh at God.
Thank you for making this video.... opens our eyes on the things we say and need to stop saying!
Oh man I have done 3 of these things. About to pray now.
God convicted me on these exact same things. also....
1. Going to restaurants that have an idol set up and the food or incense sacrificed to it.
2. Giving implicit consent by not speaking up. It is a form of denying Christ.
The Hopper can you give an example of an idol setup
@@ipodtouch573 Yep. You go into a Thai restaurant and they have onsense burned under a fat seated golden Buddha with a bowl of rice and one of wine.
Another example is at nail places, they will often have a little Buddha setting out with their sacrifices in front of him. I don’t go there any longer even though they had the best service.
@@long2baproverbs31woman2 you can go there and Share the Gospel with them or give gospel tracts to people there.❤ these are Lost people that God loves.❤
Oooh, that 1st one on prayer hit me right in my heart (thank you btw)! I have said I'd pray for someone & only prayed for them once. Convicted....💜💜💜
I used to be that way but No more. Haven't done so for over 10 years. I'm glad you learned something.
I have been encouraged to know ppl were praying for me in the rough times I have faced in life. I do my best to do likewise for others facing hard times. Prayer is a powerful weapon that we often underestimate.
Hey Allen. Thank you for these teachings. I am taking the liberty in taking these notes and prepare a study to offer our Spanish speaking brothers and sisters. This is very helpful. God bless you brother!
Finally!!! Thank you for posting this. Subscribed.
Luck is from Lucifer.Blessings are from God.
No because God is everything good luck blessings life
If luck is from Lucifer, then it can only be "bad luck".
@@namankumar9478 Get out of here satan, in the name of Jesus Christ
Amen
Okay that is really silly and naive. You can’t tell me that someone who gets lucky in a game of Yahtzee and rolls three Yahtzee’s in the same game is from Lucifer. Cmon now
Amen! Guilty of a few!
PRAISE THE LORD! and GET'R'DONE!
God has grace and mercy for the unbeliever too. That’s an amazing 😉 God.
Gracias for this video, I always thought this way but now you gave me biblical answers!
Also don't say "I am hanging in there" when asked how are we doing. The Bible says in 1Cor.16:13, we are to STAND in faith, not to hang in there! So tell them you are Standing , no matter your circumstances .
Even if it isn't true?
@@graftme3168 Standing just means you are trusting GOD. If you are a Christian why wouldn't it be true? No, you don't lie!
If you believe a random bloke spruiking misgiuded laws,based on his own emotional bias,then I'm a better judge of character than you!
@@halcioncocaine2096 I don't believe saying these things are going to send you to Hell, but the words that come out of your mouth does have effect on those who hear them! As Christians we are not to give heed to superstitions such as knock on wood etc.. because it takes our faith off GOD even if it is only for a moment! We shouldn't say we hanging in there because it gives others a picture of a Christians hanging on the end of a rope for dear life! As Christian we stand against the powers of darkness! That is the point I was trying to make not that we will go to hell because we say them!
In trials, I always say “I’m trying to lean on God”.
You should not say “wishing the best” either. A wish is use magically, we should not wish but instead should put our hope in and only in the Lord. Wishful thinking is NOT good stuff
"wish" you the best is the same as good "luck". Praise and Glory to the Most High and may He continue to bless Allen for getting the conversation started.
So true!!!
@@tommysingleton2881 what about
3 John 1:2
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
@@First2561class God bless you and thank you for your reply. However, the kjv says "wish" , while other translations say "Pray" . Wish means to feel or express a strong desire or hope for something in the dictionary , which also is written in English text. Pray means address a solemn request (to GOD.) So, if Matthew 18:9 says : and if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than have two eyes and be cast into hell fire., A lot of "US" 😀, would be without one , or two physical eyes 😁. We must PRAY and SEEK the LORD in SPIRIT and TRUTH, not just theology of knowledge, wisdom is the principal thing. May the MOST HIGH Bless your study.😁
I say “hope it goes well” or something like that
I love your advice Allen , you have truly earned my respect and you answer many of my questions toward the scripture . God bless you Allen.
The more original words you use, reflects the purity of your heart
Or when they say: "God only helps those who help themselves"
Supreme Steph Great point. That saying would completely undermine the demonstration of God’s grace in scripture in regards to justified believers
For while we were *still helpless* , at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Rom. 5:6-8 NAS95)
You have an active part in your relationship with God. Don’t forget about that. God can only meet you where you are.
God can't help those who don't help himself because if God helps people who's not helping them self then he's doing it for them not helping them
Nathan Pierce and Michael. I am not debating or arguing against the need for personal responsibility. But if you take your positions as a universal statement about the character of God then you would have to throw out God’s work of redemption of lost sinners. Remember one of brother’s Allen points in this video is that God does not give us what we deserve; we all deserve justice NOT mercy and grace. Are you providing biblical responses about the character of God or simply pragmatic responses?
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
(Eph. 2:4-8 NAS95)
Exactly that's a misuse line because that is not biblical whatsoever it's not even correct
Allen giving hot fire today 🔥🔥
People should also stop saying the word, “Oh My God/Omg, and Jesus Christ” because the bible tell us not to use the Lord name in vain Exodus 20:7. Second, Christian need to stop using bad language because the bible clearly told us too Psalm 34:12-14, Matthew 5:11, James 3:10, James1:26. May God bless you all! 🙏
Koenma what do I do if I say one of those phrases? And do you have any tips on how to stop saying those thing?
Ju4n _44 Repent to the lord for those sins. Also, find other words to replace those words with, like instead of “good luck”, say “hope for the best” or “god bless”
i call on Jesus when i’m afraid or i get scared is that ok
Lexi Boateng Like praying? Or you say “Jesus!”?
@@koenma5195 like when im walking by myself at night or im scared in my room the first thing I do is say Jesus
Excellent beloved 👏 So refreshing to my soul to hear sound biblical applications to the careless usage of our words. God bless 🙏
My ppl perish from a lack of knowledge....
Yes! Hosea 4:6.
What do you mean
@@analieselmao116 good morning. Sometimes ppl don't always understand the things they are saying. We say things without even thinking about them.
Example, when we call someone stupid. Those words may not mean anything to us but who it is directed towards does.
Words are very powerful. I hope this helped. Have a blessed day.....
Knocking on wood, 🤦🏾♀️. Thanks for keeping us accountable.
You spoke so much facts! God bless you✨✝️
I’ve been watching you a lot lately , thank you . You’ve helped me learn so much !
#3 was such an eye opener. I suffer from severe anxiety (due to ptsd) and have developed OCD as a side effect and some days its absolutely crippling. The way you phrase things helps so much. It really gave me something to think about.
Thank you for your tips. As Christ followers, we need to be reminded that we are not of this world.
Thank you for convicting me brother. I needed to hear this
Ima be transparent and say yes I’m guilty of saying “I’ll be praying for you” and I do have the intentions of praying for them but never do…I need prayer for that
also “hell yeah”... ain’t nothing “yeah” about hell
Hell yeah. You right about that.
what about heck yeah?.
"HELL" Yeah, Does Exist nd "HELL" Yeah, is a Real Place! nd When you Die, at the judgement, You find yourself standing before God to give an account of the life you lived nd every idle work spoken, alone without a mediator to pled ur case, Remember, you made the Decision not to Accept God's ONLY plan for the Forgiveness of Sin, of Love, Redemption, Salvation, nd Life & Joy Everlasting through/By His ONLY Begotten Son, JESUS the CHRIST, then "Hell" Yeah, will be one's Final nd Eternal Destination🔥🔥🔥😢! Meaning, Life completely without God!! "HELL & HECK YEAH" that pretty much Settles it! We decide, SO, Noone will be able to Blame God, for the Choice he/she made! Just think, Because we've never been w/o God before; It's extremely difficult to even began to Imagine, Life without Him, especially for Eternity! So While you still hv breath in ur body nd the blood is still running warm in ur veins, Make the Right Decision, Choose Life! Jesus says, "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life"! John 14:6 📖💒📖
What about "Hell no!"?
If a person actually says that, I seriously doubt he/she is a Christian.
Love this!!! Also for #5, you could just pray for the person right then and there!!
The ONLY unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the 🕊️ Holy Spirit!
What’s that?
_A&C _ when you keep rejecting the Holy Spirit to the point where your heart is so hardened that the Holy Spirit gets left to grieve . (From my knowledge) BibleFlockBox made a good video about it
_A&C _ if you don’t feel guilty for sin anymore and you don’t repent
BestBreakoutMoments ohhhhh okay. Thank you ❤️
Jesus our God died on cross for our sins so all of us will be forgiven John 3:16 ESV

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LordThe Pharisees then said to one another, “You see, we are not succeeding at all! Look, the whole world is following him!”

I love your channel. Your messages are amazing and easy for me to understand. I never thought about "empty words" before. I am guilty of saying 'holy crap' and now that I think about it, that is just awful. I am sorry God, please forgive me. Please help me clean up my mouth. Thank you Brother Parr for holding us accountable. Blessings to you.
Isaiah 43:25 ESV "I will blot out our transgressions for my own sake and I will not remember your sins"
Solid, scripture-based and advantageous to those growing in their walk! The Spirit has inspired everything heard here, Amen brother!
You definitely have the annointing of the Living God. Amen and glory be to JESUS!
I always learn Something new From each Video I watch on this channel. God bless you sir😄😄.
I have been thinking about that a lot. Thanks for this message.
