I am so grateful that I came across Pastor Jerry Flowers TH-cam!!!! He is God sent at an appointed time for the things I'm going and growing through 🙌🏾
Biblical friends; 1. Loose - they won't resurrect wat God is trying to have you keep buried 2. Love - love is better than romance; some people you have romantic feelings for won't even lay their life down for you (John 15.13) 3. Sharpen - things in yo life get sharper coz of their presence 4. Sacrifice - are they willing to be inconvenienced for you? 5. Confront - they talk TO you when they have an issue with you,they don't talk ABWT you 6. Carry - (Galatians 6.2) 7. Cover - they will never use yo flaw as ammunition
Making me think about moving to Texas so that I can join! I love online but I’m ready to have a community to hold me accountable like this! 👏🏾👏🏾 each word gets me TOGETHER!!! & he’s not “extra” + teaches Gods word!!! This is what our generation needed! We have enough pastors that’s give shows. & jump on stage to give shows/perform! But Pastor Flowers, TEACHES!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾🔥
I love this. I just moved to Austin from Atlanta and I will definitely be visiting his church soon. I don’t mind driving at all. Texas is a great place though.
I felt that too. Makes me remember people that walked out of my life. Yet, I give thanks to God as it exposed things in them, and allowed me to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit how to be a friend to others. Sometimes, its people's departures that make your faith stronger in Christ.
Stop calling people friends that are really just an ASSIGNMENT. You don’t tell your assignment your business. A assignment is there but it doesn’t mean they care. Don’t look to build a bond. Some people are just a OPPORTUNIST.
Jerry Flowers, I just want to say thank you and your wife for obeying Yahweh. You have been a strategic part of my healing. I was in ministry for 25 years and in 2017 I crashed. I rebelled against my LORD for 5 years. The father came and got me out of the pigpen 8 months ago. Again I’m just grateful for your ministry.
Biblical friends sharpen you; they take the grave clothes off of you; they help you get the decaying stuff out of yo life. When you are friends,you BUILD EACH OTHER UP!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My discernment was at an all time low a few months ago and listen, the enemy brought a manipulative clown (who I truly felt sorry for) and an immature counterfeit (who I fell in love with) [who distracted me from what’s important] right into my life and I labeled them Wheat 🌾 when they were truly weeds according to the purpose God had and has for my life. Lord, please heighten my discernment in people, things, and locations.
I sat down with God last night and we discussed a “friend” that invited me out to a party, God told me it was a hard NO. Why because she wasn’t a friend and I’m not even into parties anymore, then I woke up to this confirmation. Thank you Pastor Flowers 🌸 🙏🏾
So interesting. I got invites from friends years ago to attend events and God kept telling me no. They loved the past and saying where they were as I was moving forward and trusting God for people in my life who actually valued Godly conversations vs just hangouts. When God tells us instructions, it's great when we choose obedience for the matter. It's life changing.
The power of a message shouldn't be based of how many applaud it gets. People are there to receive the word, not to hype it up.. You can receive quietly without making any sound.
People who come to dissuade you from pursuing holiness and your relationship with God! Those are NOT friends. If they are leading you to sin they are not of God.
The enemy sends distractions when your desires are high and discernment is low🔥 God give me discernment to stop picking weeds then label it wheat; open the eyes of my heart.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts. I love this pastor doesn't just say the things people's itching ears want to hear. He speaks the truth.
I’m striving to get back to God and I’m desperate need of godly friends. I have TWO friends that have NEVER encouraged wrong doing but I need to connect to sisters that can help me to truly grow. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've cried and forgiven myself and forgiven a person..and stopped regretting the timing of this educative Word of God and allowed it to heal,teach and build me up God's way 👑
Pastor Jerry, my spirit is being fed with these messages from the Lord!!! I am so thankful to Jesus that he led me to this ministry! You never fail to come at our necks with the Word!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 We need this spiritual food in these times. Thank you for being an obedient servant of the Lord.
God please give me the tools to be the biblical friend someone needs. God please send me biblical friends that can help me grow in the spirit and are growing with me!! Amen🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I just fini praying with someone, and that is what they prayed that the Lord will speak to him like He did with Joseph! Thankyou for your obedience to the Lord and sharing this message! Praise God for this confirmation ❤

Funny Servant of God* u are*thanku very much**************** father God/christ jesus & I'm very grateful Jesus lead me to u guys & I'm spreading the word about this church, keep it goin& u are making a Big! Difference with/in lives
I had to cut a few people loose, childhood friends, my partying friends and even some church friends too...... sometimes an explanation was given but most of them I just started exercising my no. When you get invites, just say no, don't be available to participate in distractions. The time and distance helps the separation to be amicable.

I love this. I just moved to Austin from Atlanta and I will definitely be visiting his church soon. I don’t mind driving at all. Texas is a great place though.
Maturity. Self control. Discernment. Wisdom. In Jesus name. Amen! Friends are patient. Friends are kind!
AaaaZZqpp
“Be mindful of the ppl who come into your life to either enhance your immaturity or disrupt your maturity.” Thank you for this message 💕
Maybe we didn't lose friends. Maybe two things happened...maybe a season changed or a category was exposed 🤯🔥 MY GOD!!!
I felt that too. Makes me remember people that walked out of my life. Yet, I give thanks to God as it exposed things in them, and allowed me to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit how to be a friend to others. Sometimes, its people's departures that make your faith stronger in Christ.
@@abeekuworldchanger380💯

Girl, i said the same thing and now I’m doing it!

Stop calling people friends that are really just an ASSIGNMENT. You don’t tell your assignment your business. A assignment is there but it doesn’t mean they care. Don’t look to build a bond. Some people are just a OPPORTUNIST.
God help me to be mature and stay in character no matter what comes my way!
Add discernment on my life and in my mind

First 13 mins is already a word I can’t even 🤦🏽♀️
My discernment was at an all time low a few months ago and listen, the enemy brought a manipulative clown (who I truly felt sorry for) and an immature counterfeit (who I fell in love with) [who distracted me from what’s important] right into my life and I labeled them Wheat 🌾 when they were truly weeds according to the purpose God had and has for my life.
Lord, please heighten my discernment in people, things, and locations.
Likewise girl!!!😩
@@Miladan06 But thanks be to God that the scales are and have been removed. 🙌🏾
Don’t go back sis! If he’s showed who who you are believe him and RUN!
Me too all day!!!!!!
Same, sister. Bless you
Lord I pray for biblical friends to come into my life
I sat down with God last night and we discussed a “friend” that invited me out to a party, God told me it was a hard NO. Why because she wasn’t a friend and I’m not even into parties anymore, then I woke up to this confirmation. Thank you Pastor Flowers 🌸 🙏🏾

When God tells us instructions, it's great when we choose obedience for the matter. It's life changing.
I’ve been praying for anointed friends
You can tell this sermon had a bunch of Holy Spirit conviction, the audience barely applauded but this was 120% on POINT!! Preach!!!
The power of a message shouldn't be based of how many applaud it gets.
People are there to receive the word, not to hype it up.. You can receive quietly without making any sound.
"It's not a Trust Issue it's Discernment Issue" shuu🔥🔥🔥
“[the devil] Plants bait in the season of your life when your desire is high, but your discernment is low” 14:50
This sermon is everything!! Thank you Sir! Just because we are in the same family doesn’t mean we have to go through the same storm!! 🗣🔥
That part!
People who come to dissuade you from pursuing holiness and your relationship with God! Those are NOT friends. If they are leading you to sin they are not of God.
There is a difference in a slave who has escaped and a slave who has been set free... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The enemy sends distractions when your desires are high and discernment is low🔥
God give me discernment to stop picking weeds then label it wheat; open the eyes of my heart.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.
I love this pastor doesn't just say the things people's itching ears want to hear. He speaks the truth.
“Romance intoxicates good sense!” Amen!
In a lifetime of assignments there will be just a few friends.
I have a new word added to my vocabulary... FAKERY!!
And when a “friend” is all 4, a baited distracting weedy assignment, run run run!!
God give me discernment to stop picking weeds and labeling it wheat! Open the eyes of my heart.
“Sensuality blinds spirituality!”- Amen!
I’m striving to get back to God and I’m desperate need of godly friends. I have TWO friends that have NEVER encouraged wrong doing but I need to connect to sisters that can help me to truly grow. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
33:40 GOD GIVE ME DISCERNMENT TO STOP PICKING WEEDS AND LABEL IT WHEAT; OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART.
GOD, GIVE ME DISCERNMENT TO STOP PICKING WEEDS AND THEN LABEL IT WHEAT; OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART!
Whew chile my toes hurt...Pastor Jerry stepping all over my feet
ooooo I needed to hear this!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Lord I pray I can be mature enough to have a biblical friend, and also be one to others 🤍
Deliverance is limited when transparency is a rarity.
Heavenly Father, I pray for wisdom and discernment to not make the wrong choices out of ignorance and or to mislabel assignments as friends.
Thanks!
This is a word. I had to stop the message and call my biblical friend, forever sister in Christ. Loving this series.
Biblical friends take grave clothes off you!! Oweeeee that's good!!!!
I've cried and forgiven myself and forgiven a person..and stopped regretting the timing of this educative Word of God and allowed it to heal,teach and build me up God's way 👑
Preach to me!!! I just learned this lesson. Thank you for this word.. " I would rather be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie
Romance intoxicates discernment 😭😭😭😭 yho I could cry.
Premature sensuality blinds spirituality.
Friendship is the foundation of covenant 🙏🏾😌
We love you Pastor Jerry. Thank you for emphasizing biblical friendships. Amen! Hallelujah! Thank you for teaching and ministering the Word of God.
GIVE ME DISCERNMENT TO STOP PICKING WEEDS AND THEN LABEL IT WHEAT, OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART

“ God give me discernment to stop picking weeds, and then label it wheat. Open the eyes of my heart.”
The family part is a big deal. Sheeeeeesh. Coming in Hott. 🔥🔥🔥. It’s the truth though.
Beware of those lethal family members must aren’t your friends
Pastor Jerry, my spirit is being fed with these messages from the Lord!!! I am so thankful to Jesus that he led me to this ministry! You never fail to come at our necks with the Word!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 We need this spiritual food in these times. Thank you for being an obedient servant of the Lord.
My GOD MY GOD!!! "An assignment is there because they don't care." "Assignments are not loyal to you..they are there for opportunities."
