Thank you I appreciate that and I'm glad this video served as an encouragement to you. Please feel free to check out the other videos on my channel. God's got me right where he needs me to be and I'm excited about every day and what he's going to do in my life! Thank you for watching By His Grace, Chris

@@mikelokken2655 I feel exactly the same

I'm glad this video ministered to you That's precisely why I made it. If I may be so bold I'm going to share a link. I attend a program called recovery and the link I'm going to share is the foundational messages that this program was based on. There is also a book that goes along with it called recovering redemption by gentleman named Matt Chandler th-cam.com/play/PLbE-di2T5VIX0j6X16qYShcFv3TqHKAlx.html&si=AmLxwIPWMHJ57RiZ

She was she struggle with bipolar disorder.

@ I’m so sorry. For all of you.

Amen

I would be honored to pray and I'm glad this video reached out to you and I hope it encouraged you I hope you will watch other videos on my channel as well.

Why are you condemning this man? You do know your portraying a self righteous attitude, holier then thou. Remember we are saved by grace through faith, not of works lest any man should boast. We all go through struggles and trials and tribulations some people it just takes longer then others to be delivered from them. This man has gone through a lot of trauma and God is not going to condemn him for trying to mask his pain. God doesn’t work through fear and punishment,but of love, peace, hope, kindness, gentleness. Much love God Bless. ❤ “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You realize this video was made to commemorate something that happened 13 years ago and to give other people encouragement who might be considering the option my wife took and to offer encouragement for other believers. My spend as many as 3 hours a day studying the words since I've been retired. I've made videos encouraging people to get the resources so they can study God's word and they can grow. I feel like you didn't listen to here but you listen to comment. I'm sorry I didn't explain myself well enough for your satisfaction but many other people understood where I was coming from. I'm sober by the way. I daily spend time in God's word and encourage others to do the same that's part of what this channel does. You can see my section on the layman's bookshelf. I appreciate you watching the video but I've got to say I feel like your comments are a little bit out of line. I was simply trying to share what I've been through My testimony because that's how we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. God has done so much in my life in the past 13 years and even though it's been unpleasant it's been awesome to see what he's done. I hope you have a good day By His Grace, Chris

​@@WalkNTheLight123I was hoping this video would be encouraging and maybe cause people not to consider the option that my wife took. A vast majority of the people found it just that encouraging. This lady assumes that I drink and I don't I'm sober. But I hope that she and you watch some of the other videos I have on this channel. That's what this ministry is about is encouraging people. I hope you feel free to look around. By His Grace, Chris

Thank you very much I appreciate that. I still miss my wife and she did have bipolar disorder. So I want to spend the rest of my life encouraging people not to give up whether it's from being an alcoholic or a drug abuser or whatever the case may be. That's what this channel is about. That and encouraging people to spend time in the word and to read it and study it.. thank you very much for watching By His Grace, Chris

Well that's what I tried to convey in this message I hope you got that. In this video was also there to encourage people who might be thinking about it to not do it.

She also suffered from one of the worst cases about polar disorder

@ThecrosseyedTexan keep this in mind in the moments before death time is much different. it is known that remose for bad deeds allowes for the soul to make a perfect act contrition to God. Jesus is known in his divine mercy to grant salvation to errant souls. There is hope for her salvation. Remember her soul daily pray for her. I recommend the prayer of St. Gertrude. You can Google it. Bipolar is a terrible affliction. God Bless

Well Joe was a righteous man I was kind of a booger head to the process. I didn't handle everything right. God is good He never gave up on me and he used everything I went through to draw me closer to him.

I've been using an ESV in one of its iterations since 1993 the 77 the 95 and the 2020. This year I decided to do incorporate the ESV as my literal translation. I tend to use two when I study one of them is the Christian standard Bible for a general overview In the second one is a word for word translation so this year since I've had little experience with it I chose the ESV. There's actually four Bibles that I use on a regular basis cuz I'm crazy lol!

My son is 21 years old he'll be 22 next month My daughter is 30. They're both doing quite well and seem to be very well adjusted considering the circumstance. My daughter has announced to me that I'm going to be grandfather and I'm pretty excited about that. Spot everything we've been through God is still good! And he used this to bring me closer to him!

I agree but God can take anything and work it for his glory. The reason I share this is just in case somebody might be thinking about it I want them to understand what happens to the ones who get left behind. Thank you very much for watching! By His Grace, Chris

@itsstillcalledtoday9928 I believe the majority that do this if not all are under the influence of Satan and there isn't anything we can do for them with the exception of making them understand that their thoughts are being influenced by Satan and his fallen angels. Only Satan can override the natural instinct in all of us for self preservation. The Churches do a terrible job imo of explaining the world we live in and its probably because they don't know themselves or to afraid of losing their memberships by telling them the truth. I don't understand everything, but I'm convinced that Satan and his kind can at a minimum oppress even the best of us. Especially if we let our guard down. Now imagine if we don't understand why we are having these thoughts! It's all in my head and something is wrong with me.

Well there's some things I don't understand but it wasn't a like it was a creek that ran past the parking lot of the church today attend. My guess is she sat down and either it took the OD there or took it and just sat down there by the bank. When the rains came on Saturday night Monday morning I think it kind of scooped her in

I think she had the whole thing planned out and knew where she was going to go before she did anything. A lot of people in this frame of mind work out every last detail. She also did something that threw me off quite well too she shaved her legs. Generally I knew what that meant especially on a Friday night when we were off the next couple of days. I don't mind you asking this question at all By His Grace, Chris

@@itsstillcalledtoday9928 thank you so much for your reply. Again, so sorry for your loss and pain. God bless.

@@Expressitc I appreciate that. There's a lot of things I could have done better though Great many things I could have done better.

@@davegarciaofficial really it was a paper liner? Cuz I've bought four of these given three of them away and the one I've kept for myself they were all synthetic liners. If you got it from CBD Christian book distributors you can exchange it with no charge and ask them to make sure that it has a synthetic liner in it

@ yes paper! Got it from Amazon. I’m returning it

I'm replying for my second channel. Reach out to Christian book distributors and order it from them.​@@davegarciaofficial

@@CrazyJesusTalk I wish that they would make something like a 13-point font with end of paragraph reference. Crossway is not very friendly to people with low vision.

Oh no that CSB is one genuine piece of cowhide it smelled like a brand new leather jacket. Now it smells like a leather jacket and whatever colona wore that day lol

Simply showing you what the verb tense is in the Greek and it means exactly what I said.

@@MosesTheDrake I don't believe that we can cease from sinning in this life. But like I said mother comment this was simply a demonstration of how to use this Bible it wasn't meant to be at theological treatise. There are things that God has given me victory over that I don't struggle with anymore and there are some things that I do. Like being prideful about the things that I know or being presumptuous or not loving people the way I should all the time. I don't think we'll ever be completely freed from sin until we stand on the other side of eternity. Thank you for watching the video though

@@itsstillcalledtoday9928 That’s really sad to hear. These is a difference from conscious sin and having a body of sin (Rom 7:5, 8:12-14). It is a lifelong battle - each time we’re tempted from the sin in our flesh (body of sin) which is when we can stand faithful and cease from sin. Jesus did the same (Rom 8:3-4). It happens from temptation to temptation, and never giving in by praying & holding on to His Word during temptation. Then the old self, who agreed with sin, is truly crucified, “so as to live the rest of [my] life no longer to the lusts of the flesh.” Gal 2;20 Just because I’m tempted - doesn’t mean I have sinned (James 1:12-14). It is possible to cease from sinning otherwise I am not following the scriptures (1 Pt 4:1-2) in simple faithfulness(2 Cor 11:3), but instead judging on one’s past experiences. Will Jesus find such faith on earth when He returns. Not very many. Very few there be who find the narrow way.

​@@MosesTheDrakewe're just going to have to disagree on this. I do not believe that's possible because every day I need God's grace.

@@ThecrosseyedTexan Grace to stop sinning with our conscious mind. I'll agree to that. Only by the grace of God have I been able to cease and stop from sinning with my conscious mind. 👍 Absolutely no other way!

@@seekthelord-kjv I really appreciate that you have no idea what it means to me. It is confirmation that I'm doing exactly what God wants me to do and despite the outward circumstances I'm exactly where God needs me to be. Bless you and thank you for your words of encouragement.

@@itsstillcalledtoday9928I know your life has not been easy. The fact that you take the time and effort to share God's word with us means a great deal. You ARE doing exactly what the Lord wants you to do. God Bless, and we all look forward to your next video.
