    The enemy used my family against me when i first came to Jesus, trying to get me to lose faith and i kept praying for them for God to soften their hearts and he did, My parents are now believers, so i thank God that he makes a way where i couldnt see the way out of the trial i was in

      Amazing things do happen. I was a first believer in family. My whole family treated me like I've entered a cult but then one day my mother and grandmother decided to come with me to church. They still live in sin and are not believers so the battle is still going on but praise God for he can make amazing things happen.
      Blessings to you in Jesus' name

      Praise Jesus, my family will not talk to me. My mom is catholic & my dad has never been to church & has anger & bitterness. Plz keep the Clark family & Aleshia whiley in your prayers. Nothing is impossible with Jesus & my Father in heaven through the power of the holy spirit. Thank you for coming in agreement. Amen

    This has been happening with me. My family was thinking I was going crazy, or joining a cult because I was searching for cursed items that I may have had in my house that I wasn't aware of, and they told me I was becoming obsessed with religion, and taking it too seriously, and that I was moving too fast. I told them no it is the holy spirit within me convicting me, and changing my heart, and mind. I have been trying to live for the lord, but the enemy has been trying to get me through my family. My mom was trying to convince me that It was okay to have sex with my boyfriend even though we are not married, and I told her no i'm not doing that. I will go the rest of my life without engaging in sexual sin again, Jesus saved me from that horrible traumatic past that I had, and the addiction that I had to sex. There is no way I am going back to that. She said you know it's okay to make love with him, it's not like you are going around sleeping with everyone, and I told her no. I am not sleeping with anyone unless I am married to them, I am living for Jesus. They do not understand. This video is very helpful, and truthful! Thank you for making these videos, one of the most honest, yet humble christian you-tubers. :)

      Taylor'sTestimonyForJesus this makes my heart happy to know YOU KNOW there's no going back to the old ways and living in filth. You're amazing and don't let any of it get to you. Praise God for reading this comment and leading me to Josh's video. I often feel I'm alone sometimes on the journey but I know it's all worth it in the end. God bless you!

      Thank you so much for this comment! You are amazing, and so sweet. You have such a kind heart! Yes praise God! I often feel alone on my journey too, but I know there is no going back for me. I have no desire to continue to live in my old ways, living a sinful life! I hated who I was, Jesus delivered me from myself, from those evil lustful demons that were taking over me. There is no way I will ever go back to that. I wish my parents understood, and could see Jesus the way that I do. They are considerable lukewarm Christians, because they don't follow all of the teachings, just based on certain ones. I thank God for this comment. It really brightened my day, I have been struggling with the enemy lately, and this comment I needed to see! Thank you for your dear heart sis!

    This is my story I got saved 3 months ago and my family think I'm crazy and too religious but If God really saves a person that person will bear fruit of holiness. And God start to be YOUR EVERYTHING. As one of my brother in Christ said to my one day Jesus is Lord of All or not Lord at all. Amen
    Keep praying for family members. And I know you're lonely because most of the children of God are lonely on this earth but it's Okay we have the best friend we could ever asked for Jesus Christ the Son of God who died Himself for us so that we may be with Him forever! Amen
    See you in heaven brothers and sisters in Christ!

    I am a new student to the Bible and I love the Lord. Sadly my 26 year old gay daughter is "concerned" for me as I often talk about Jesus and what I have learned to be true. It's driving a wedge between us and we argue via text at least once a week. I am repentant that I failed to teach my children about who God truly is and instead taught them a lukewarm religion with no conviction. But honestly I didn't know any better..... But also not an excuse. Praying for restoration for my family

      @sephoraferjuste 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jesus Saves You have to tell her the truth whether she likes it or not. It is not our job to sugarcoat anything, and I know that you truly love her so you will tells her the truth. Gay people will not inherit the kingdom of God. God bless you and I pray for your family's repentance.

      It's so broken with society now. Children are taking hormone transition drugs without parents concent. I hear about a lot of children suiciding these days who are like around age 12.. Children of around that age suiciding is unheard of in times of past, even in war age... Something is really wrong with the world. I do believe the end is near.
      My prayers to all young people...

    • @LimbDee
      @LimbDee 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Being gay is not a conviction or a choice, your daughter was born like that and it must be very hard for her not to be accepted for who she is by her own mother. A lot of people will tell you I'm wrong about this, but like me they are just people. You should talk directly to God about this and he will give you guidance. You may cry after that and you may feel you have been a bad mother, but God will forgive you and so will your daughter.

    • @nyeahgarner2420

      In 100 per cent agreement. My degree was in law and I was a barrister but I'm alright now. Only this evening was I imploring my own daughter, to no avail and in tears. I prayed to the Lord and within the hr I stumbled across this video. God sure does move in mysterious, miraculous ways. Your comment was the icing on the cake. God bless you Gene for your humility and this young man who conveys the spirit of Stephen.

    @younghove01 7 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    I won't be able to help save my family! It's completely out of the question. They reject everything I share with them. My dad, in fact, gets angry when I talk about the truth to him. My dad has the Ahab spirit and my mom has the Jezebel spirit. God already knows I'm the "real deal". I won't ever go back to my former life prior to being born again. I remember how lost I was.

    • @Juliana-no7ur
      @Juliana-no7ur 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The jezebel spirit is unscriptural. When you literally translate it back, it says nothing about a spirit. Jezebel and Ahab were mortal people. Rachel Stephens has a video on it.

    • @Juliana-no7ur
      @Juliana-no7ur 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      w D no because they were mortal people. Their spirits aren’t roaming around like the nephilim because they were...you guessed it... HUMAN. Jezebel cannot hear you or interact with you. She is not causing you to sin, you are.

    OMG I needed to hear this, thank you for great video! Everything said in this vid is soo true, I was born again few months ago and no one in my family is saved, no one believes me. And this is soo soooo sad when you see nobody can recognize holy spirit. They think they are christians and they dont even know word of god and understand salvation. All my friends are freak out they thing Im crazy, even if I try really hard to be humble and make self sacrifice and be more and more like Jesus they still think I do it bacouse of pride... nobody wants to hear the truth, everyone wants to be selfish and stay blind. But thank God he gave me new heart and new life! All we can do is manifest Jesus in our life and pray really hard for unsaved souls...🙏 Also is important to every christian to understand that our job is to share gospel and imform people, but we cant change they hearts, this is Gods job... Also not try too hard to win argument but "defeat" them with unconditional love and peace so they can be amazed and see who truly our God is...

    The thing that gets me about some of my unsaved family is that while they pursue sin and their own way, they have NO peace and will even admit it at times. The "cult" comments I have received and it's annoying. But I move on. We all need not be surprised that this happens as it has definitely been written. Thanks for the video!

    When I was saved, I immediately got attacked by demons in my family. It took me 25 years to identify this one demon that attaches to one member but can temporarily jump to or share with another person. It tore my family apart and they are full of pride and hate.

    I had a friend and room mate who didn't believe, I tried talking to him but it ended in an argument so I backed off. after we calmed down I told him I would not try to change his mind but there would be a time when he would curse me for not continuing to talk to him. I hope and pray that in the minutes before he died of heat failure in front of me he was saved.

    Hi Josh much love and respect for your words. My younger sister is an atheist and my parents go to church just because. I have tried to tell my sister " say a prayer to God thank him for the things you have and ask him to guide you, what do you have to lose?" my mother is very pro gay and pro lgbt which i m deff not i treat people with love and kindness but that doesn't mean im going support it any way.I have stopped wearing makeup, im trying to stop cursing, i broke up with this man i was dating because i felt i wasnt being true to God and myself, we talk now and than becuase his kids adore me and adore them. i been reading the Bible more kjv more and i tell you it's been helping me walk in the spirit thank th lord for that . Your abasalutly right ...you have to really have the ergency to change after God has shown you the way i have ways to go and i'm not better than anyone .But thank God for letting me aware and vigilant.

    I so want to see my loved ones saved. Some are prodigals , some laugh and mock Christianity. Some follow false junk. I just keep praying. God is able. So want us to be in Heaven together.

    So true...being able to talk to people in love (the love of God) it allows them to be more open to what we say. I have had the opportunity to lead a few old friends to Christ and it was because I approached them IN LOVE....GENUINELY LOVING PPL IS 🔑
    The best conversations are those lead by the spirit, I love when I don't even remember what I said because it wasn't me but the Holy Spirit🙏🙌☝

    Hello brother me too everything your going through. I was really discouraged doubting if I was doing the right things. Everyone was thinking I was being extreme but I knew these changes were needed. I’m in my mid 20s and it’s not easy to find much upport especially against worldly things.

I TRY TO TALK TO HIM AND HE GETS SO MAD HE SAID I'M BRAINWASHED BECAUSE I POINT THINGS OUT THAT'S IN THE BIBLE AND WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. MY FAMILY IS THE SAME WAY,THEY SAY"I GOT SAVED "BUT THEY DON'T CHANGE THEIR WAYS SO I JUST PRAY FOR THEM THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS GOD BLESS YOU

    You made this video 6 years ago and I came across it today and it’s really comforting and encouraging to me. I’m the only one saved in my family and it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see my loved ones reject the gospel. I tried sharing the gospel with my mom for the first time today and she immediately turned it down and said she doesn’t believe in God & that she doesn’t want to hear it 😔 I love my mom so much and care for her eternity, it crushed me. But you’re right, it is our job to share the gospel & plant seeds. Salvation is up to Jesus & it is He who does the saving 🙏🏼✝️ Sometimes, even the ones that reject the message on the outside are really convicted and softened on the inside. God can work His seed even into the hardest of hearts. 🌱 I will continue to pray and intercede for my entire family. Let us continue to ask God for the boldness to spread His Word, and the Holy Spirit will do the rest! ♥️ God bless you brother.

    We all go through this... But all I can do is pray , pray , pray !!! That is it. I gave my life to God and he is whom I serve. I gave up everything , no Sports , T.v is terrible anymore and so don't watch that much at all , music , I gave up smoking 7 year's now , I do not have sex without marriage , I keep Gods commandments. I am not telling you this to make myself seem better , but fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. This is my testimony because it can be done and Gods word is not burdensome. People say all the time that you can't be perfect and you cannot stop sinning and that is the lie from the pits of hell. We can love ❤️ God and be obedient to him , it can be done. We already know we are gonna be persecute because we walk upright and are the light of the world. Jesus said just know that hated me before they hated you. We must not ever compromise in our faith & obedience because we need both of we want to inherit the kingdom of heaven. My family goes to church but they are totally worldly Christians and I tell them all the time about this and they treat me differently because they can receive the truth. Just pray a lot. All we can do. But just don't give up on them ever.

      Just curious as im having difficulty over this but have you overcome masturbation and do you think that is necessary to? By saying masturbation, I don't mean it to be as watching porn because that is clearly a sin. If you feel uncomfortable answering this that's ok, please ignore.

      @@elihazarsalahthiel1881 masturbation is a sin so definitely you need to stop. This is serious. It's a satanic ritual, you're inviting demons into your life and allowing them to control you when you commit this act. The Holy Spirit should convict you enough so that even the mention of the word makes you feel disgusted and ashamed of the thought of it. Please work out your salvation with fear and trembling because hell is no joke! I am telling you this out of love.
      God bless

  • @globaloneness2012

    Thank you very much for the great video Josh!
    I can relate to everything you said. I tried hard for quite a long time to convince family and friends to come over to the other side of the fence but they adamantly refuse and think I am a crazy nutcase. Just a few days ago somebody told me I am a hypocrite, negative and religiously possessed and she finds it very suspicious that I have an answer for so many topics that non holy-spirit led people don't have (without the Bible you cannot see the full picture of what kind of war we are in).
    Vast numbers of people who love their matrix prison suffer from total lack of discernment but they would not admit that they are lost. It seems pride is a great stumbling block for people and they rather slander and accuse others instead of at least listening to the message if there could be valuable advice in it. It is sad that so many people do not realize that we are spending a lot of time and effort trying to help them to find the narrow gate. Therefore, I have now decided that I let go of everybody who rebukes and refuses Jesus, most of them drift out of my life anyway because they can't stand what I regard as my rock solid foundation. After all it's their life and I cannot take responsibility for their salvation. I can only attempt to lead them in the right direction. With some people I thought they would make the shift but often saw them back sliding back into their old ways - sometimes worse than before. So it's true one has to be called by God.
    The great appostacy is happening to the lukewarm ritual "Christians" who need their Easter and Christmas festivities (not knowing where such traditions come from and if you tell them, they hate you because you just spoiled their pleasure of buying useless things for useless festivities). Those who truly found Jesus and love truth over lies will fight till the end.

    I dug this video. Thank you for it. As far as I know, none of my family members on either side are saved. I've given a bunch of them the good news of Jesus, and it hasn't brought any of them to Christ, at least not yet. I won't compromise my faith to keep "peace" in my house, or anywhere else. I'm no better than anyone, but I know that following Jesus, repenting of my sin, taking up my cross, is the only way to Heaven.

    new subscriber here. found your channel through a sister in Christ's bitchute channel 'Jesus is Lord'. i can so relate to this testimony. since turning to Jesus Christ about a decade ago, most of my friends and even my own adult children have rejected and turned away from me. Many have mocked and judged me, even my own kids. God's word prepared my for this ...we know Jesus taught us that a man's enemies will be those of his own household. And there are other scriptures which teach us that we will be rejected and persecuted by our own 'friends' and family. Thanks for your testimony. Enjoying your testimonies and teaching. This video is telling some hard truth and I am grateful to know that Im not alone. may God continue to bless you in Jesus' holy name, amen.

Though I am not pushy, preachy, now that I am a widow and even before because most in our family feel so enlightened by this ridiculous world. I sure intercede Make the Spirit do the true convicting supernatural work.I so want to above all go to Heaven People will avoid me and other true believers because they hate to feel conviction. I hate what is happening because my husband was a man of much Bible study. He taught truth but that does not seem to work now. Truth.Pray people wake up . Seems such a time of falling away. Definitely we never believed in useless disputations. I so love to see young people like you faithful and carrying on for the Lord.
