Jesus said that if you abide in him, and his word remains in you, you can ask whatever it is you wish and it will be given you. I've recently been asking the Lord to give me the hunger and thirst for his righteousness and to love his word, and guess what -he did it! I have a newly found joy in the Lord that grows more and more daily. I Ask him for that hunger, and depend on him to sustain the hunger. It's then I realize I can call him my everything. Ask him for that precious gift! He will give it to you.
Just following up on what I said earlier and I'm still overwhelmed on a daily basis by how the Lord gives us the blessing of a heart of contrition towards our sin. I love how, as I go along with the Lord, I become more aware of my sin and more contrite and more broken and therefore more thankful and more joyful than ever before, and what's even more is through that brokenness and then gratitude comes further sanctification and spiritual growth in holiness, being closer and closer to Him through this wonderful work of the Holy Spirit of God.
This was 3 years ago brother how are you making out with your walk with Christ 🙏🏼✝️ I pray that you have grown exceedingly more than you could ever imagined
Father, l humbly pray that you conform Blake into your image so that he thirst for you more than life itself. I ask that you, Father, complete the work that you have begun in him.
Look at sin through GOD'S eyes, and you'll see the Blessed Redeeming Savior Chris Jesus Savior and Lord. The WORD was made Fkesh and dwelt among us. Meditate on the Gospel of John blessings to you ❤ 🙏
Will do, God has granted YOU an invitation to prayer as well brother, you ask in the name of Jesus and ask ,and ask,..he will reveal truth to you, offer your heart and he will give you a new heart...🙏
The closer that you are to the Lord- the more you hate your sin- and the farther you from your besetting sin- so- I suppose we need to pray for your salvation and dedication
I was at work listening to this sermon with my earbuds as I was working. When the sermon was over the next sermon that popped up on the TH-cam channel was from Joyce Meyer. I started to turn it off but I thought I’d give it a listen for a while. It was like going from filet mignon to a bag of skittles lol. Her sermon was all about “me”. What God can do for you or is going to do for you. Extremely self centered. When you hear a sermon like this compared to what we have today the difference is night and day.
Preachers of the past are my preferred audio teaching . GOD always has a remnant, so there has always been sound teachers. William Arbuckle (1600's), Charles Spurgeon (1800's), A.W. Tozer(1900's) , and so, so many more! And Puritan teachers cut deep and with ease. Anointed teaching. Bless this Ministry for their content.
This is what I’m striving for: And you shall love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being and with all your might. And to keep His commandments.
I've relistened to this at least 1/2 dozen times and have shared the link widely. People need to make sure they have TRUE saving faith, not what is often preached these days of "sloppy agape" and "greasy grace." How sad that we need to go back over 250 years to hear sound teaching.
You know your a real Christian when you hear God feel God know God love God do Gods will keep His commandments love people bear good fruit through connection to God. And your confident in God through your connection to Him through your love relationship with Him. There is no mistaking being born again!
Explain from Scripture how one “Hears” God and “Feels” God. Please do not offer your opinion, but rather point us to the verses in the Bible that backs up the statements you have just made. Thank you in advance.
@@TheRealRenn Well Samuel heard God many of the prophets of God Adam and Eve heard God In terms of hearing God It comes in different forms there is a rare audible form of hearing God. The download of God meaning do you know something you didn’t know before there is their intuition signs and wonders confirmations from other ppl saying the same word to you over and over again These are all forms of God speaking There is more ways than just those that’s an example. Feeling God Also comes in different forms goosebumps crying and weeping feeling his presence often his presence feels like heat The Bible says that God is a consuming fire the heat of his presence is felt when you are connecting yourself to him do you want scripture The apostles of God carried such anointing which can be translated into presence of God to deliver demons set the captives free captives Heal the sick even raised that God has used me to do many miracles such as this. On a regular basis living a devoted life consecrated life is a must the Bible says you can do nothing of yourself you need God the Bible says Jesus is the vine we are the branches with out him we cannot bear good fruit but later on it says with Him we can do all things. Relationship with God is the basis of Christianity trust loyalty belief faith love hope fearlessness boldness and courage it’s all part of the walk. Don’t fall for religion it is a form of godliness but it denies the power of God and in the end it’s dead works that don’t produce life eternal
@@proof2.073 , Thank you for the reply. I am reminded of the letter to the Hebrews Chapter 1 where it says; “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” …. and with that being said, I will leave emotion and experience out of the equation, which in my opinion is the go-to for many of our modern day Churches, and go strictly with what God’s Word says to the body of Christ, and that being in these last days, if we want to know what God says we should read what He said, and if we want to hear what God said, then we should read it aloud.
@@TheRealRenn I read Gods word everyday of my life but experiences with God are just as important I’ll leave it there. Now yes make sure it’s the right God and not the Angel of light nor another god I get that but my sheep hear my voice and another’s strangers voice they will not follow. I love the supernatural essence of knowing Him in a tangible way so I agree with you on His word being essential but if you took away the supernatural you would have a Pharisee mindset on we know how Jesus dealt with them . God bless and thank You for your input
Praise Yeshua, for truly, obedient Godly teachers of Gods Word. Our pulpits are empty of these Great Men of God, today...thank you for sharing Jonathan Edward's Godly teaching without compromise, Baruch Ha'shem, Shalom ♥️🙂
Brother, thank you reading so beautifully. My own spiritual understanding has increased with every word. Kinda wish that every professing Christian would listen to this sermon. God bless all of us who desire to obey our Lord.
I can relate to that request, we are not alone, many of us must realise, we all can, and do sin and at times badly, if we go to our Saviour He will forgive and re- enstate us, we must stop sinning.
Keep in mind this was preached at the time of the first great awakening and Edwards in particular had a keen interest in the genuine convert vs the false with the extraordinary numbers that were responding to the gospel at the time. Therefore, sermons, as God obviously used mightily, we’re “crafted” with the particular gifting of Edwards to decipher between what he would called “affections” and “affectations” for God or a true spiritual understanding of the loveliness of Christ in hatred of sin or a mere fanatical emotionalism that dies out as they eventually go back to the world and sin. He spent a great deal of time with “new converts” to make sure they understood the gospel over a period of at least months of professed faith. This was no “easy believism” of our day. Thanks for reading the sermon!
This is the most beautiful sermon I have ever heard. Thank you for making it available and thank you to the reader - beautifully read. All praise and glory and honor be to our beautiful Saviour. Thanks be to our Heavenly Father for His work in and through Jonathan Edwards and for the preservation of his writings and sermons nearly 300 years later. Amazing gift to be privileged to hear such a message. I felt like the message came directly from heaven. Tears of joy!
Thank you for a very edifying sermon. In this world full false experiences that supposedly can't be challenged less you "hurt that false convert's feelings", it's assuring to know the true marks of a real convert. Thank you again. Let God be praised on high.
"Therefore it is this seeing the loveliness of Christ that makes the difference between the saving grace of the Holy Spirit and the experiences of demons. This sight or sense is what makes true christian experience different from everything else. The faith of God's elect people is based on this. When a person sees the excellence of the gospel he senses the beauty and loveliness of the divine scheme of salvation, his mind is convinced that it is of God and he believes it with all his heart." This part was so clarifying and edifying, and brought back memories. Thank you for this.
I confess that I am a new convert, I've been saved for about 6months ish, I do have a pride problem, and I hate it. I hate how it rises up within me. This video was both convicting and condemning for me, to be honest.
Your comment reminded me of when I was a new believer and became aware of my pride through reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. I asked Jesus to remove my pride. He showed me a picture of a plant in a pot and when he pulled out the plant, almost all the soil came with it because of all the roots. He said, "Pride has a long, deep root - all the way back to the Garden of Eden. If I removed it all at once, there wouldn't be anything left." I knew then that it would be a very long process to overcome pride. So confess it every day and be patient with Him. He is faithful. Walk with Him. Trust Him. He WILL get the job done.
Fasting helps to break pride brother. Read Isaiah 58 it talks about how fasting can bring massive change into your life. When you fast you are denying your body one of its most needed need which is food and this humbles your body to become silent and your flesh to become quiet and your spirit which is in connection to God is able to operate with greater power. Bless you
I am also a relatively new Christian, it has been just about a year and a half...ish...I understand the pride issue, he has brought me so far in putting self to death, bring it always to him ask him to fill you of more of Him , Jesus is the answer....more love to him always, my brother in Christ!
They should play this at Joel Osteen mega church (false gospel) and to all watered down feel good, health and wealth prosperity gospel churches. Jesus said no one comes to the father but by me. Lots of churches doesn't preach justification, sanctification, and glorification.
What Edwards says about 'experiences' reminds me of something that several highly suspect people like Bill Johnson claim, which is that they felt a huge surge of electricity passing through them, incapacitating them for hours. Why would anyone automatically presume that this is the work of the Holy Spirit when the demonic realm is perfectly capable of supernatural phenomena?
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
It is the LOVE OF SIN that keeps us from salvation! I CANNOT clearly see the beauty of Christ "for we see as looking through a dark glass" or dirty window. Do I have to wait till I can come up with a vision of the beauty of Christ before saying, "Lord, have mercy on me a sinner?" That seems like a works salvation right there! BUT, I CAN see the ugliness & destruction of even the "smallest" of my sins much more clearly, that's glaringly obvious as that's where I live! And though I fail, I ABHOR/DETEST my sin & want nothing more than to have NO part in ANYTHING evil. I am eternally grateful for the blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin and washes us white as snow! I'm grateful for 1 John 1:9 when I do sin. You may call this "self love". Well, "no man ever hated himself". The hatred for sin, too, is an evidence of salvation. Plenty of religious people talk about the "beauty of Christ" and may have some "picture of him" hanging in their home or church, but they care nothing of having His beauty in their own lives! To say a person can't be saved until he has a clear vision of the beauty of Christ is like saying a blind person can't be healed until he can first clearly see! Heal me first, THEN I can see!
We can FULLY trust in the saving grace of God. What we should not trust as believers is our deceitful heart that can grief God and block out Holy Spirit's warning.
Note: the Edwards' comment about the restraining action of the Holy Spirit @ 25:08 is referenced by the reader as 2 Thess. 2 : 17 and *that should be 2 Thess. 2 : 7* concerning how the 'mystery of lawlessness' (ESV) is at work.
I’ve been struggling. I work a job surrounded by unbelievers and someone who deconstructed. I’ve idolized theology and knowledge, no amount of learning has eased my conscience telling me I’m not right with the TRUE God. I’m believing in my own ability to be saved. There was one moment I remember seeing that Christ Loved me but it’s become a fleeting memory. I keep lust (not having sex but it’s with the eyes) I try so much to stop and pray about it. I’m prideful in my understanding. I want to leave my predominantly seeker sensitive church but my GF sings and doesn’t want to go anywhere traditional that prioritizes edifying preaching. I don’t feel God, I’m so hallow. I wake up fighting the temptation to give up on God and to deconstruct like a coworker I’ve had a few conversations/debates with. I keep thinking i can preach convicting things to people which is vain. I don’t know what to do. I’m trapped in my own mind, believing in the idea of God and Jesus, with no root in myself. I need so much help. I want to understand what it means to know the true God or to be truly saved, but even then I’m becoming so exhausted and started to lose heart. I don’t feel like I’ve been convicted over sin enough or that I’m hating it. I feel as if I’m not noticing sin or seeing my need for a savior. I keep thinking skeptical thoughts about Christs life and deity. I can come up with apologetics and theological answers for others but it doesn’t satisfy my heart.
Zae4557... I felt that way for decades but I think you're trying to wear your own righteousness around, instead of Christ's Glorious Righteousness . He said "It is finished" 2000 years ago. Trust that His beautiful work for you was sufficient in EVERY way! Rest in HIM and what HE did, not what YOU do. Learn who you are in Him. Don't try to accomplish what HE already did for you. You can't add one single thing to it! God bless you. Don't listen to legalists They want you to look at your own inadequacies instead of keeping your gaze on Christ and what HE did for you 2000 years ago.
What if I don’t feel convicted? Bad bad bad What do I do, what if I die? How do I not sin anymore? Like how do I forgive and have a forgiving heart? Like how can my heart be softened, what do I do? I have to feel convicted when I sin right, don’t I? What do I do? How do I feel convicted every single time I sin? How do I get out of sin like how do I forgive? How come I’m not feeling guilty or and convicted? Like is the Holy Spirit still with me?
You are forgiven. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and comfort your heart as you study the Word. I would encourage reading the Book of John and Romans on your knees. The lovliness of GOD. Your questions show you are saved and set apart
I COULD WONDER ABOUT MY SALVATION ? I WONDER IF THE SIN WORKING IN MY HEART CAUSED ME TO WONDER.IF I AM HEADED TO HELL '?" I LOVE THE LORD I DO WHAT IS RIGHT BUT I STILL FEEL LOST TO SIN ... MY EXPERIENCE WITH GOD IS MREAL TO ME... I SPENT TIME WITH THE MARINES AND WENT TO VIETNAM 66-67-68 MY HEART WAS WITH GOD WHILE THERE BUT WAS SURROUNDED BE HELL GATES... I WONDER IF I AM A LIGHT IN THE WORLD... I HOPE FOR THIS GIFT EVERY DAY....
Hey brother. You should wonder about your salvation. I praise God he keeps us on our toes. Always testing. Always teaching. Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. We are in the hands of a mighty God! He is the Shaper, the Author, the Alpha and the Omega. Job 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? 12:10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Jesus died because of us, and when we look upon the cross, it is a mirror that reminds us what we deserve. Yet, God is full of Mercy. Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. So we love God with all our hearts, and he works in us the perfecting and conforming of our hearts unto the image of his son, in whom he is well pleased. 2 Peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. We love God by being obedient to his commands, but we are powerless with Christ to do ANYTHING that can please God the Father. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. We are sons of God, but a son of God is elected as such. A son of God will be chastised (punished for the purpose of correction), that he will be properly conformed and perfected for the Glory of God!!! God takes the raising of his sons seriously. He doesn't ALWAYS punish of course, but our walk will not be without blemish. Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. So we are STILL. We wait in earnest expectation for the perfect WILL of GOD to perform works in us, that our lives will be to the GLORY of GOD the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ!!! Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Pray for continued obedience Michael. It is the only thing we can pray for with any true fervency. When we love God, we obey his commands. When we obey his commands we also love others. When we love others, we are full of good works. Obedience and loyalty to God are likely the greatest blessing outside of our Lord Jesus we could hope for. 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: Keep wondering sir. Your wondering is a Gift from God. Your wondering keeps you seeking the ALL IN ALL with all your heart. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. IN ALL THINGS GIVE GLORY TO GOD. IN ALL THINGS ARE THE GLORY OF GOD!! May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless and nourish your days if it be his will to do so sir.
Where are the sermons like this today? No usual, which is why the church is failing in the developed nations, where Christianity was sound and the stalwart for the church. Thank you Lord you do have a few faithful Elijah's: Paul Washer, Vodie Baucham, Alistair Begg, James Coates (Greacelife of Edmonton), John MacArthur (except for his teaching on the Sabbath), RC Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, Steven Lawson, Stephen Nichols, Burk Parsons, and Derek Thomas.
Prov 15:11 ' The depths of Hell are open to God's knowledge. How much more the hearts of all mankind. ' LBV The Holy Spirit is the one who makes Scripture ' come alive ' in a persons spirit and heart. John 6:63 ' Only the Holy Spirit gives Eternal Life.. ' LBV Eph 6:17 ' ... The sword of the ( Holy ) Spirit, which is the Word of God. ' 2 Tim 3:18 ' All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. ' Ps 119:11 ' Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. '
I was thinking to myself that a professing Christian who walks in darkness and hates his brother but says I love God, there is definitely something worse there. The Goodness of God can bring us to repentance. Though?
1 Timothy 3:6 is about Overseers and Deacons. It has little to nothing to do with the message. For people who struggle with thinking that they should be changed completely and immediately, this is extremely detrimental! For example, are not new believers hardly distinguishable from non believers? Are there not stages of spiritual growth? This sermon seems to say that once you believe in Christ as your Savior, you will always walk by the Spirit and never by the flesh; never giving to fleshly pleasures and sin. Or, am I missing something?
Christian Praise and Worship in Songs, Sermons, and Audio Books At about the 40:45 in the sermon he refers to 1 Timothy 3:6. It seems so out of place in this whole sermon. God bless you, brother. Thank you for this incredible channel.
The subject at hand is pride, which is why 1 Tim 3:6 is cited. @ 40:34 the text reads: "False spiritual experiences have a tendency to cause pride, which is the devil's special sin. 'He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.'" (1 Tim 3:6) 1 Timothy 3:6 and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. (NASB)
Christian Praise and Worship in Songs, Sermons, and Audio Books Ok. Thank you for responding. I love this channel. I'm on medical leave right now. As soon as I can, I will try to give financial support. For now all I can do to give support is pray. God bless you, brother.
Where I humbly believe you may be misunderstanding Edwards is in the definition of the word "distinguished." The distinction is not in quantity - as you have placed it, but in quality or kind. The experience of "devils" or close hypocrites is not that he has less good works than a truly regenerate sinner, but that all his good works are poisoned because there is no affection to God whom he supposes his good works are done for. This will manifest itself in time. There is no self-abhorring, no groaning being burdened, no real flesh lusting against the spirit, because there is no "law of the Spirit" present in someone who is still at bottom unregenerate. No proper inclinations, no holy affections, and no spiritual mindedness. NONE. So, take the least saint keenly aware that his good works are sin stained, still the least of such saints has that makes it a live spiritual plant is the fruit of the Spirit - love. Week as it may be, it is the immediate affect of a change in the governing disposition of the soul.
Where can I find the actual sermon in his own words? ( not that I don't appreciate the effort, I do; but I know how much can be lost when they try to simplify the language. It usually leaves just the bare essence of the sentence)
sin will root so deeply into the human mind that at some point people will not be able to stop sinning even if they are made aware and try. its recently been discovered Sin biologically changes the brain and permanently corrupts it. As we press further into calling sin good or ok people will be so captive slavery will be all the masses will know if they are awake enough to even see it
All the wicked will perceive is His wrath, like a criminal doesn't see the authority, power, justice, knowledge of good and evil, and all the characteristics of a moral and right judge. So too the wicked will know that God is Almighty but will only see that in the Just and Right and True judgement that they are evil and deserve eternal punishment. Be careful about "spiritual experience", Satan who can mimic a light and loves to give false "feelings" and "experiences" that they claim with genuine sincerity, devotion, spiritual godly truth and yet be fully deceived, totally wrong and these devotes are the most difficult to show them their evil ways as they are sure they are right, be it LDS, JW, RCC, Pentecostals, and even "Protestants" . The devoted atheist is just as certain about their rightness, but don't attach it to any "spiritual" attachment, so they call their godness different names but blasphemy never the less and it will only when they are confronted with God at judgement will they know His eternal wrath is what is in order of eternal justice.
One question. I am of the mind that Demons and fallen angels cannot be redeemed even though they believe in God because they were never Given a kinsman redeemer because of the blatant blasphemous nature of their rebellion against God. God never sent a savior for them. Mankind being Born of water and the flesh God sent to us Christ Jesus so that by believing we might be saved. Now i fully understand that a simple rudimentary acquiescence as to the existence of God or jesus does not equal saving faith. But then Abraham simply believed God and God saved Abraham. God knows the weakness and inability of man to do anything to remedy his situation and so has preordained that By believing man can be saved. I also understand fully that Genuine saving faith produces fruits of repentance , hatred for sin , Prayer , a knowing that the Bible is true ,and obedience. as well as peace , Love , joy , grace , forgiveness , patience , longsuffering and humility to one degree or another. Because the antinomianist who Claims Christ and yet throws the bible away and carry's on following the world the flesh and the devil is by no means saved , but will suffer in hell along with those who openly Reject Gods Word made flesh in Christ Jesus. I would appreciate a few thoughts on this.
Behold, the Lamb of God… he tried… but he failed and now needs us to do him a solid and return to living under the law and the Old Covenant. Because as it turns out, the blood of Christ wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Christianity is state of being “of Christ” as an act of Christ. christianity (lower case) is the pretension that we have a hand in it. Coupled with the delusion that we can fulfill the law. God did it and it is finished. Amen?
Only those that live by the law of liberty James 1:25 are true Christians. Everything else is a form of godliness that denies God's power. Problem is no one knows what the law of liberty is. Not a single person. Don't believe me? Ask around. Ask anybody. See I told you

Proof of our salvation is; LOVE for the things God LOVES, and HATE for the things God HATES, it's called being BORN AGAIN.(john 3;1-21)
Pray for me that my faith in Christ may grow exceedingly and fall in deep love with Lord Jesus
Jesus said that if you abide in him, and his word remains in you, you can ask whatever it is you wish and it will be given you. I've recently been asking the Lord to give me the hunger and thirst for his righteousness and to love his word, and guess what -he did it! I have a newly found joy in the Lord that grows more and more daily. I Ask him for that hunger, and depend on him to sustain the hunger. It's then I realize I can call him my everything. Ask him for that precious gift! He will give it to you.
Just following up on what I said earlier and I'm still overwhelmed on a daily basis by how the Lord gives us the blessing of a heart of contrition towards our sin. I love how, as I go along with the Lord, I become more aware of my sin and more contrite and more broken and therefore more thankful and more joyful than ever before, and what's even more is through that brokenness and then gratitude comes further sanctification and spiritual growth in holiness, being closer and closer to Him through this wonderful work of the Holy Spirit of God.
Amen very well described! Blessings!! @taylormurphy5535
This was 3 years ago brother how are you making out with your walk with Christ 🙏🏼✝️ I pray that you have grown exceedingly more than you could ever imagined
Pray for me to be in deep hatred of my sin and in soul staggering devotion to Christ
Father, l humbly pray that you conform Blake into your image so that he thirst for you more than life itself. I ask that you, Father, complete the work that you have begun in him.
Look at sin through GOD'S eyes, and you'll see the Blessed Redeeming Savior Chris Jesus Savior and Lord. The WORD was made Fkesh and dwelt among us. Meditate on the Gospel of John blessings to you ❤ 🙏
Will do, God has granted YOU an invitation to prayer as well brother, you ask in the name of Jesus and ask ,and ask,..he will reveal truth to you, offer your heart and he will give you a new heart...🙏
The closer that you are to the Lord- the more you hate your sin- and the farther you from your besetting sin- so- I suppose we need to pray for your salvation and dedication
Same.
Man!! This is really old school teaching . No bells and whistles ministering it’s the cold hard cutting to the bone truth I loved it
I was at work listening to this sermon with my earbuds as I was working. When the sermon was over the next sermon that popped up on the TH-cam channel was from Joyce Meyer. I started to turn it off but I thought I’d give it a listen for a while. It was like going from filet mignon to a bag of skittles lol. Her sermon was all about “me”. What God can do for you or is going to do for you. Extremely self centered. When you hear a sermon like this compared to what we have today the difference is night and day.
Amen
SAD most believers are many miles apart what is preached here -to their gullible demise.
Preachers of the past are my preferred audio teaching . GOD always has a remnant, so there has always been sound teachers. William Arbuckle (1600's), Charles Spurgeon (1800's), A.W. Tozer(1900's) , and so, so many more! And Puritan teachers cut deep and with ease. Anointed teaching. Bless this Ministry for their content.
I’ve only recently discovered Johnathan Edwards and his teachings are sobering.
I hate evil. I want Yeshua always. I want to be transformed by him.
A well spent evening with the Word of God
This is what I’m striving for:
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being and with all your might. And to keep His commandments.
Pray for me that I shall grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All Glory to Christ, our LORD! FOREVER!
and to the Father, YHWH.
This is an excellent reading voice. Very listenable.
Wow this is a really good lesson and actually quite convicting for me. Praise God for the blood of Jesus!
I've relistened to this at least 1/2 dozen times and have shared the link widely. People need to make sure they have TRUE saving faith, not what is often preached these days of "sloppy agape" and "greasy grace." How sad that we need to go back over 250 years to hear sound teaching.
It is wonderful that the sermons were saved!!! God's saving word is eternal and timeless!!! Hallelujah!
@@reginaford8575 Praise Yah indeed.
A M E N.... I find in many cases, the older the better. As time moves forward , the Gospel is harder to be found being taught in its entirety.
Another quote from Jonathan Edwards “ Lord stamp eternity on my eyeballs.”
best sermon Ive ever heard. Thank you Jesus For recealing you everlastingand almighty light
You know your a real Christian when you hear God feel God know God love God do Gods will keep His commandments love people bear good fruit through connection to God. And your confident in God through your connection to Him through your love relationship with Him. There is no mistaking being born again!
Explain from Scripture how one “Hears” God and “Feels” God. Please do not offer your opinion, but rather point us to the verses in the Bible that backs up the statements you have just made. Thank you in advance.
@@TheRealRenn Well Samuel heard God many of the prophets of God Adam and Eve heard God In terms of hearing God It comes in different forms there is a rare audible form of hearing God. The download of God meaning do you know something you didn’t know before there is their intuition signs and wonders confirmations from other ppl saying the same word to you over and over again These are all forms of God speaking There is more ways than just those that’s an example. Feeling God Also comes in different forms goosebumps crying and weeping feeling his presence often his presence feels like heat The Bible says that God is a consuming fire the heat of his presence is felt when you are connecting yourself to him do you want scripture The apostles of God carried such anointing which can be translated into presence of God to deliver demons set the captives free captives Heal the sick even raised that God has used me to do many miracles such as this. On a regular basis living a devoted life consecrated life is a must the Bible says you can do nothing of yourself you need God the Bible says Jesus is the vine we are the branches with out him we cannot bear good fruit but later on it says with Him we can do all things. Relationship with God is the basis of Christianity trust loyalty belief faith love hope fearlessness boldness and courage it’s all part of the walk. Don’t fall for religion it is a form of godliness but it denies the power of God and in the end it’s dead works that don’t produce life eternal
@@proof2.073 , Thank you for the reply. I am reminded of the letter to the Hebrews Chapter 1 where it says; “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” …. and with that being said, I will leave emotion and experience out of the equation, which in my opinion is the go-to for many of our modern day Churches, and go strictly with what God’s Word says to the body of Christ, and that being in these last days, if we want to know what God says we should read what He said, and if we want to hear what God said, then we should read it aloud.
@@TheRealRenn I read Gods word everyday of my life but experiences with God are just as important I’ll leave it there. Now yes make sure it’s the right God and not the Angel of light nor another god I get that but my sheep hear my voice and another’s strangers voice they will not follow. I love the supernatural essence of knowing Him in a tangible way so I agree with you on His word being essential but if you took away the supernatural you would have a Pharisee mindset on we know how Jesus dealt with them . God bless and thank You for your input
@@proof2.073 Thanks again for your reply. God bless you too.
Praise Yeshua, for truly, obedient Godly teachers of Gods Word. Our pulpits are empty of these Great Men of God, today...thank you for sharing Jonathan Edward's Godly teaching without compromise, Baruch Ha'shem, Shalom ♥️🙂
“A time is coming when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the Church will have clowns entertaining the goats”
-Charles Spurgeon
thank you so much for this sermons. God bless you brother/ sister
This is a very good channel ! Love the old sermons from the past. Thank you !
Old is gold.. it's pure.
Brother, thank you reading so beautifully.
My own spiritual understanding has increased with every word.
Kinda wish that every professing Christian would listen to this sermon. God bless all of us who desire to obey our Lord.
I can relate to that request, we are not alone, many of us must realise, we all can, and do sin and at times badly, if we go to our Saviour He will forgive and re- enstate us, we must stop sinning.
Keep in mind this was preached at the time of the first great awakening and Edwards in particular had a keen interest in the genuine convert vs the false with the extraordinary numbers that were responding to the gospel at the time. Therefore, sermons, as God obviously used mightily, we’re “crafted” with the particular gifting of Edwards to decipher between what he would called “affections” and “affectations” for God or a true spiritual understanding of the loveliness of Christ in hatred of sin or a mere fanatical emotionalism that dies out as they eventually go back to the world and sin. He spent a great deal of time with “new converts” to make sure they understood the gospel over a period of at least months of professed faith. This was no “easy believism” of our day.
Thanks for reading the sermon!
This is the most beautiful sermon I have ever heard. Thank you for making it available and thank you to the reader - beautifully read. All praise and glory and honor be to our beautiful Saviour. Thanks be to our Heavenly Father for His work in and through Jonathan Edwards and for the preservation of his writings and sermons nearly 300 years later. Amazing gift to be privileged to hear such a message. I felt like the message came directly from heaven. Tears of joy!
This teaching is staggering. I/we can only pray for this kind of mercy and grace from God.
Thank you for a very edifying sermon.
In this world full false experiences that supposedly can't be challenged less you "hurt that false convert's feelings", it's assuring to know the true marks of a real convert.
Thank you again.
Let God be praised on high.
I love this reader. He's excellent, I'd like for him to do more of these. I've only found this one by this reader .
Thank you for posting this sermon!
This sermon is spook good it hits the nail direct in the hole ....no sugar coatings😍❤
Love it!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙌🙌🙌
Praise God !!
"Therefore it is this seeing the loveliness of Christ that makes the difference between the saving grace of the Holy Spirit and the experiences of demons. This sight or sense is what makes true christian experience different from everything else. The faith of God's elect people is based on this. When a person sees the excellence of the gospel he senses the beauty and loveliness of the divine scheme of salvation, his mind is convinced that it is of God and he believes it with all his heart." This part was so clarifying and edifying, and brought back memories. Thank you for this.
Excellent sermon.
A true christian knows his enemy well as to not be deceived !
Loved this. The best and clearest explanation of saving faith I've heard.
The best reader i heard..Praised God. So blessed
Praised God. A very wonderful message
Amen, powerful sermon.
Also, it's been nicely read.
I confess that I am a new convert, I've been saved for about 6months ish, I do have a pride problem, and I hate it. I hate how it rises up within me. This video was both convicting and condemning for me, to be honest.
Your comment reminded me of when I was a new believer and became aware of my pride through reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. I asked Jesus to remove my pride. He showed me a picture of a plant in a pot and when he pulled out the plant, almost all the soil came with it because of all the roots. He said, "Pride has a long, deep root - all the way back to the Garden of Eden. If I removed it all at once, there wouldn't be anything left." I knew then that it would be a very long process to overcome pride. So confess it every day and be patient with Him. He is faithful. Walk with Him. Trust Him. He WILL get the job done.
Fasting helps to break pride brother. Read Isaiah 58 it talks about how fasting can bring massive change into your life. When you fast you are denying your body one of its most needed need which is food and this humbles your body to become silent and your flesh to become quiet and your spirit which is in connection to God is able to operate with greater power. Bless you
Amen
I too have a pride problem. You’re not alone in that , pride is the root of all sin, but confess it to God and grow in your sanctification. 👌😜
I am also a relatively new Christian, it has been just about a year and a half...ish...I understand the pride issue, he has brought me so far in putting self to death, bring it always to him ask him to fill you of more of Him , Jesus is the answer....more love to him always, my brother in Christ!
I just listened to this. Good stuff. I hope
More people hear this. Here’s hoping this helps out people like it did with me 👍. Thanks for posting this.
AMEN John 3:16 ✝️❤️
Amazing!
They should play this at Joel Osteen mega church (false gospel) and to all watered down feel good, health and wealth prosperity gospel churches. Jesus said no one comes to the father but by me. Lots of churches doesn't preach justification, sanctification, and glorification.
" The devil is perfectly wicked. A murderer from the beginning "
Yes.👆
Please pray for me
We live in a trying time.
Sobering
I believe in God
Thank you 🙏 God bless
Amen very powerful life changing sermon for me. I need this thank you
Thank you.God bless💖
Superb reading! I hope the same person will record more of the invaluable sermons you post. Thank you .
This is my go to Ministry . Abundant amount of sound sermons and teachings.
Please pray I trluly know him 🙏
What Edwards says about 'experiences' reminds me of something that several highly suspect people like Bill Johnson claim, which is that they felt a huge surge of electricity passing through them, incapacitating them for hours. Why would anyone automatically presume that this is the work of the Holy Spirit when the demonic realm is perfectly capable of supernatural phenomena?
Wow Such a great sermon!!
Extraordinary video!
Matthew 12:35
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
It is the LOVE OF SIN that keeps us from salvation! I CANNOT clearly see the beauty of Christ "for we see as looking through a dark glass" or dirty window. Do I have to wait till I can come up with a vision of the beauty of Christ before saying, "Lord, have mercy on me a sinner?" That seems like a works salvation right there!
BUT, I CAN see the ugliness & destruction of even the "smallest" of my sins much more clearly, that's glaringly obvious as that's where I live! And though I fail, I ABHOR/DETEST my sin & want nothing more than to have NO part in ANYTHING evil. I am eternally grateful for the blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin and washes us white as snow! I'm grateful for 1 John 1:9 when I do sin. You may call this "self love". Well, "no man ever hated himself".
The hatred for sin, too, is an evidence of salvation. Plenty of religious people talk about the "beauty of Christ" and may have some "picture of him" hanging in their home or church, but they care nothing of having His beauty in their own lives! To say a person can't be saved until he has a clear vision of the beauty of Christ is like saying a blind person can't be healed until he can first clearly see! Heal me first, THEN I can see!
Great teaching 👍
Never stop what you are doing. I am hearing the truth for the first time after MONTHS ! Glory be to God for your ministry
What if I know Christ is beautiful and lovely but I don't see it the way I should,does this mean I am not saved?
This one is hitting hard
I always wondered why so many Christians are assured in their own minds they are saved, as if its their decision. Nothing short of arrogance.
We can FULLY trust in the saving grace of God. What we should not trust as believers is our deceitful heart that can grief God and block out Holy Spirit's warning.
Devils love to quote a verse or two from the bible and subtly twist it to confuse and deceive believers and non-believers of Christ....
True. And so do many TH-cam pontificators. (Not directed at you)
Pray for me please,
@Deb Harris thank you
just prayed for you
i kneel in prayer after listened this sermon😭
Am i allow to post in FB🙏
Solid solid truths !!
Thank you
Extraordinary sermon, I fell asleep listening to this.
Sounds like it really piqued your interest.
yeLa Bunny Ty Ortiz O ye sleepers, awake!
Thank U.
To the person who just left the comment, "Slight oversight on one of Jonathan’s last points..."
In a word..."HUBRIS."
Amen
Note: the Edwards' comment about the restraining action of the Holy Spirit @ 25:08 is referenced by the reader as 2 Thess. 2 : 17 and *that should be 2 Thess. 2 : 7* concerning how the 'mystery of lawlessness' (ESV) is at work.
Thanks for the correction
Thank Lord Jesus !!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been struggling. I work a job surrounded by unbelievers and someone who deconstructed. I’ve idolized theology and knowledge, no amount of learning has eased my conscience telling me I’m not right with the TRUE God. I’m believing in my own ability to be saved. There was one moment I remember seeing that Christ Loved me but it’s become a fleeting memory. I keep lust (not having sex but it’s with the eyes) I try so much to stop and pray about it. I’m prideful in my understanding. I want to leave my predominantly seeker sensitive church but my GF sings and doesn’t want to go anywhere traditional that prioritizes edifying preaching. I don’t feel God, I’m so hallow. I wake up fighting the temptation to give up on God and to deconstruct like a coworker I’ve had a few conversations/debates with. I keep thinking i can preach convicting things to people which is vain. I don’t know what to do. I’m trapped in my own mind, believing in the idea of God and Jesus, with no root in myself. I need so much help. I want to understand what it means to know the true God or to be truly saved, but even then I’m becoming so exhausted and started to lose heart. I don’t feel like I’ve been convicted over sin enough or that I’m hating it. I feel as if I’m not noticing sin or seeing my need for a savior. I keep thinking skeptical thoughts about Christs life and deity. I can come up with apologetics and theological answers for others but it doesn’t satisfy my heart.
Zae4557... I felt that way for decades but I think you're trying to wear your own righteousness around, instead of Christ's Glorious Righteousness . He said "It is finished" 2000 years ago. Trust that His beautiful work for you was sufficient in EVERY way! Rest in HIM and what HE did, not what YOU do. Learn who you are in Him. Don't try to accomplish what HE already did for you. You can't add one single thing to it! God bless you. Don't listen to legalists They want you to look at your own inadequacies instead of keeping your gaze on Christ and what HE did for you 2000 years ago.
@@cornpop5231 this is awesome. I love you friend.
Self deception is an ever present problem 🤕🤒
What if I don’t feel convicted? Bad bad bad What do I do, what if I die? How do I not sin anymore? Like how do I forgive and have a forgiving heart? Like how can my heart be softened, what do I do? I have to feel convicted when I sin right, don’t I? What do I do? How do I feel convicted every single time I sin? How do I get out of sin like how do I forgive? How come I’m not feeling guilty or and convicted? Like is the Holy Spirit still with me?
How are you?
Psalm 145:14
The Lord upholdeth all that fall and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.
@@adrianbuliga116 thank you for the verse! I love Christian things still. That’s a relief.
You are forgiven. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and comfort your heart as you study the Word. I would encourage reading the Book of John and Romans on your knees. The lovliness of GOD. Your questions show you are saved and set apart
Chronicles of Riddick is better. I’m thinking it’s also free on TH-cam
I COULD WONDER ABOUT MY SALVATION ? I WONDER IF THE SIN WORKING IN MY HEART CAUSED ME TO WONDER.IF I AM HEADED TO HELL '?" I LOVE THE LORD I DO WHAT IS RIGHT BUT I STILL FEEL LOST TO SIN ... MY EXPERIENCE WITH GOD IS MREAL TO ME... I SPENT TIME WITH THE MARINES AND WENT TO VIETNAM 66-67-68 MY HEART WAS WITH GOD WHILE THERE BUT WAS SURROUNDED BE HELL GATES... I WONDER IF I AM A LIGHT IN THE WORLD... I HOPE FOR THIS GIFT EVERY DAY....
Hey brother. You should wonder about your salvation. I praise God he keeps us on our toes. Always testing. Always teaching.
Philippians
2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
We are in the hands of a mighty God! He is the Shaper, the Author, the Alpha and the Omega.
Job
12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
12:10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
Jesus died because of us, and when we look upon the cross, it is a mirror that reminds us what we deserve. Yet, God is full of Mercy.
Ephesians
2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
So we love God with all our hearts, and he works in us the perfecting and conforming of our hearts unto the image of his son, in whom he is well pleased.
2 Peter
1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
We love God by being obedient to his commands, but we are powerless with Christ to do ANYTHING that can please God the Father.
John
14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
We are sons of God, but a son of God is elected as such. A son of God will be chastised (punished for the purpose of correction), that he will be properly conformed and perfected for the Glory of God!!! God takes the raising of his sons seriously. He doesn't ALWAYS punish of course, but our walk will not be without blemish.
Hebrews
12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
So we are STILL. We wait in earnest expectation for the perfect WILL of GOD to perform works in us, that our lives will be to the GLORY of GOD the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
Psalms
46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Romans
8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Pray for continued obedience Michael. It is the only thing we can pray for with any true fervency. When we love God, we obey his commands. When we obey his commands we also love others. When we love others, we are full of good works. Obedience and loyalty to God are likely the greatest blessing outside of our Lord Jesus we could hope for.
2 Peter
1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Keep wondering sir. Your wondering is a Gift from God. Your wondering keeps you seeking the ALL IN ALL with all your heart.
Matthew
6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
IN ALL THINGS GIVE GLORY TO GOD. IN ALL THINGS ARE THE GLORY OF GOD!!
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bless and nourish your days if it be his will to do so sir.
Demons can remember God's beauty that's why they try and ruin it for you with God. Misery loves company and demons too
Quick,when the last predestined seed of Christ comes in,then the door is shut!.😮
Where are the sermons like this today? No usual, which is why the church is failing in the developed nations, where Christianity was sound and the stalwart for the church. Thank you Lord you do have a few faithful Elijah's: Paul Washer, Vodie Baucham, Alistair Begg, James Coates (Greacelife of Edmonton), John MacArthur (except for his teaching on the Sabbath), RC Sproul, Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, Steven Lawson, Stephen Nichols, Burk Parsons, and Derek Thomas.
Prov 15:11 ' The depths of Hell are open to God's knowledge. How much more the hearts of all mankind. ' LBV The Holy Spirit is the one who makes Scripture ' come alive ' in a persons spirit and heart. John 6:63 ' Only the Holy Spirit gives Eternal Life.. ' LBV Eph 6:17 ' ... The sword of the ( Holy ) Spirit, which is the Word of God. ' 2 Tim 3:18 ' All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. ' Ps 119:11 ' Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. '
how to know: you’ve put your faith in Jesus
I was thinking to myself that a professing Christian who walks in darkness and hates his brother but says I love God, there is definitely something worse there.
The Goodness of God can bring us to repentance.
Though?
The face of Jesus Christ....rest in him only!!!
1 Timothy 3:6 is about Overseers and Deacons. It has little to nothing to do with the message. For people who struggle with thinking that they should be changed completely and immediately, this is extremely detrimental! For example, are not new believers hardly distinguishable from non believers? Are there not stages of spiritual growth? This sermon seems to say that once you believe in Christ as your Savior, you will always walk by the Spirit and never by the flesh; never giving to fleshly pleasures and sin. Or, am I missing something?
This sermon is based on James 2:19: "Thou believes that there is one God; thou dost well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
Christian Praise and Worship in Songs, Sermons, and Audio Books At about the 40:45 in the sermon he refers to 1 Timothy 3:6. It seems so out of place in this whole sermon. God bless you, brother. Thank you for this incredible channel.
The subject at hand is pride, which is why 1 Tim 3:6 is cited.
@ 40:34 the text reads: "False spiritual experiences have a tendency to cause pride, which is the devil's special sin. 'He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.'" (1 Tim 3:6)
1 Timothy 3:6 and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. (NASB)
Christian Praise and Worship in Songs, Sermons, and Audio Books Ok. Thank you for responding. I love this channel. I'm on medical leave right now. As soon as I can, I will try to give financial support. For now all I can do to give support is pray. God bless you, brother.
Where I humbly believe you may be misunderstanding Edwards is in the definition of the word "distinguished." The distinction is not in quantity - as you have placed it, but in quality or kind. The experience of "devils" or close hypocrites is not that he has less good works than a truly regenerate sinner, but that all his good works are poisoned because there is no affection to God whom he supposes his good works are done for. This will manifest itself in time. There is no self-abhorring, no groaning being burdened, no real flesh lusting against the spirit, because there is no "law of the Spirit" present in someone who is still at bottom unregenerate. No proper inclinations, no holy affections, and no spiritual mindedness. NONE. So, take the least saint keenly aware that his good works are sin stained, still the least of such saints has that makes it a live spiritual plant is the fruit of the Spirit - love. Week as it may be, it is the immediate affect of a change in the governing disposition of the soul.
We need the book of this message here in abia state, please
do you have a pdf of this to read as its different from what I have in the works of J.E
Where can I find the actual sermon in his own words? ( not that I don't appreciate the effort, I do; but I know how much can be lost when they try to simplify the language. It usually leaves just the bare essence of the sentence)
Why i felt just 50/50 in this msg?i mean half for the first explanation and half for the second one?does this mean i am not save?
Give not credence unto the devil.
sin will root so deeply into the human mind that at some point people will not be able to stop sinning even if they are made aware and try. its recently been discovered Sin biologically changes the brain and permanently corrupts it. As we press further into calling sin good or ok people will be so captive slavery will be all the masses will know if they are awake enough to even see it
Is this available in written form and if so how do i get it? Thanks
I heard that Barnes and nobles carries a book with all of his sermons.
All the wicked will perceive is His wrath, like a criminal doesn't see the authority, power, justice, knowledge of good and evil, and all the characteristics of a moral and right judge. So too the wicked will know that God is Almighty but will only see that in the Just and Right and True judgement that they are evil and deserve eternal punishment. Be careful about "spiritual experience", Satan who can mimic a light and loves to give false "feelings" and "experiences" that they claim with genuine sincerity, devotion, spiritual godly truth and yet be fully deceived, totally wrong and these devotes are the most difficult to show them their evil ways as they are sure they are right, be it LDS, JW, RCC, Pentecostals, and even "Protestants" . The devoted atheist is just as certain about their rightness, but don't attach it to any "spiritual" attachment, so they call their godness different names but blasphemy never the less and it will only when they are confronted with God at judgement will they know His eternal wrath is what is in order of eternal justice.
Edwards probably had a British accent like many of the early Americans
One question. I am of the mind that Demons and fallen angels cannot be redeemed even though they believe
in God because they were never Given a kinsman redeemer because of the blatant blasphemous nature of their rebellion against God.
God never sent a savior for them.
Mankind being Born of water and the flesh God sent to us Christ Jesus so that by believing we might be saved.
Now i fully understand that a simple rudimentary acquiescence as to the existence of God or jesus does not equal saving faith.
But then Abraham simply believed God and God saved Abraham.
God knows the weakness and inability of man to do anything to remedy his situation and so has preordained that By believing man can be saved. I also understand fully that Genuine saving faith produces fruits of repentance , hatred for sin , Prayer , a knowing that the Bible is true ,and obedience. as well as peace , Love , joy , grace , forgiveness , patience , longsuffering and humility to one degree or another.
Because the antinomianist who Claims Christ and yet throws the bible away and carry's on following the world the flesh and the devil
is by no means saved , but will suffer in hell along with those who openly Reject Gods Word made flesh in Christ Jesus.
I would appreciate a few thoughts on this.
The true translation is “son of the dawn.”
Behold, the Lamb of God… he tried… but he failed and now needs us to do him a solid and return to living under the law and the Old Covenant. Because as it turns out, the blood of Christ wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
Christianity is state of being “of Christ” as an act of Christ.
christianity (lower case) is the pretension that we have a hand in it. Coupled with the delusion that we can fulfill the law.
God did it and it is finished. Amen?
Only those that live by the law of liberty James 1:25 are true Christians. Everything else is a form of godliness that denies God's power. Problem is no one knows what the law of liberty is. Not a single person. Don't believe me? Ask around. Ask anybody. See I told you
