And I got to say you have opened my eyes a little more and to think on and do . Prayes JESUS CHRIST I HEAR YOU LORD . I know I was lead here for a reason
Great message. A much needed message these days. Holiness and obedience to the Lord are just not being taught from most pulpits today. So many preachers today are preaching a watered down version of the gospel. They have sugar coated it. They have compromised the word of God and as a result much of the body of Christ, including many of the preachers, pastors themselves have become lukewarm. Will Jesus find any faithful when He returns?
My mom and I prayed for my brother struggling with alcoholism every single day for a long time. He is now 22 days sober. Praise God!!!!! Please keep my brother Mikey in your prayers. He is now struggling with severe depression and does not have a relationship with God. He is so loved, but doesn’t see it. God bless you all
Love you brother Jerren, crazy you messaged today I wrote in my journal "to do list" today that I need to email you! Will be in touch later brother! - Joe
May we see what we have and learn how to use it to glorify God. I’ve never had a garage sale really and I feel compelled to sell or donate many items I no longer use or need in my life ...to find someone who will see value in it maybe (or trash or find a way to repurpose maybe). There’s so much paper I have too - ugh! 🤯
When we have godly sorrow, that is a good sign. It shows we are under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The Lord admonishes those He loves. It is a sign of being one of His sons. The Holy Spirit leads us to repentance. Take heart, my brother, and turn to God. He loves you with an everlasting love.
As a Christian I have decided to read the whole Bible and understand the full teachings of the Lord, I’m only in Genesis now and I want to continue reading the whole Bible and I want to escape lukewarm Christianity and by doing that I ask God to break me and discipline me and reveal me I’ve been a believer this whole time but then I realized that I’m in trouble that I was walking lukewarm Christianity I decided enough is enough I will not stand here and make the Lord very angry , I will be a full Christian not a lukewarm I will spend time with God by reading the whole Bible please pray that I’m able to complete that journey and I’ll pray for you too as well
John 17 always brings me back to the reality of who I am in Christ. God Bless your studies Buhlefutobol. Write your questions down on paper and know you will get them answered one day and try not to get stuck. Take Care, B.

@@offthekirb am I lukewarm? I fall into temptation sometimes and I don’t know if I am lukewarm? I don’t sin because I want too it just happens. Please answer me I’m worrying!
I cry to the Lord to forgive my sin.. And that sin comes back at my face and I can't throw away this sexual sin ... Its more than a decade and I have been born again and baptise and I can't tolerate it anymore... Lord I beg you please help me I want to get out of this forever 🙏🙏😭
I overcame these sins very easily. You know what I did? Realized how unnecessary they were. Once, twise, three, four times. Again and again. I only got temporary satesfaction. And when you come to realize how much you displease God, how much you hurt yourself just because your fleshly nature wants a little "treat", THEN you will see how useless sin is in comparison to peace from God. Next time you are tempted, try to look ahead of the sin. How are you going to feel about this today? Tomorrow? Will other people find out? If so what are they going to think about you? How much will it bring down and disturb your relationship with the loving God? If you want, you can pray that I myself will overcome the sin of shame of God. I don't understand how and why I'm even ashamed of God. Just why? I'm dragged down, depressed, troubled, worried day and night. I'm never truly happy anymore. Because I don't share the Gospel. Please pray for me and many others to share the Gospel.
im sorry god is on your side on your side its the hardest sin to break have faith keep praying keep fighting iv won some iv lost some with christ power we will both make it
Sin really is so horrible! For a Christian who falls into temptation, the conviction and guilt you feel after is NOT WORTH ANY SIN! Feeling so distant from God & being constantly confronted with the way you hurt Him & your relationship with Him because of a stupid sin is actually the worst!! I can never stop thanking God for His mercy and forgiveness!😭 May God continually help us to walk in the path of righteousness!🙏🏾
It’s been a little over a year since I lost my dad. Was deep into addiction, manic depression anger towards everyone and was planning to take my life. Then out of nowhere God sweeps in and turns me away from the darkness. It’s like everything was suddenly at peace. I’ve been clean for almost a year now, my mental illnesses have seem to disappear, got a hold on my sexual sins, becoming easier to live like and for Christ and finally building a relationship with my mom and most important my relationship with Jesus Christ. There is nothing he can’t do. God bless all you brothers and sisters ❤️😇
I just lost my father..and its the greatest loss of my life. I take courage in that he accepted God as His Saviour. However I know God is our Father.. He will never ever leave us or forsake us. In the words of David ....Though mother and father forsake me you will take me in
That is a beautiful testimony, and I was blessed by reading it! Praise be to GOD for his tender mercies. I'm always so in awe of how much He loves us, regardless of the wretched state we are in, and there is nothing we do to earn this love. It's unearned, unmerited grace × it humbles me and just blows me away. I pray that blessings continue to fall upon you and your life. Thank you again for sharing your story. 🙏❤🙏
In Summary If we live in sin: 1. God wont listen to our prayers 2. We will lose our witness to Jesus 3. God will discipline us 4. God wont bless us 5. We will reap what we sow Holiness = Happiness
In my experience it's all true .... I lived in SO much sin for the past 4 years and it's thanks ONLY to His forgiveness and His love that I've been able to stop smoking Crack. I ought to be dead and burning in Hell for the things I've done, but instead thanks to His mercy I'm able to sit here and type this message....i haven't smoked Crack in almost 3 weeks now Please take it from me do not deny or question God.... but if you feel you MUST find out for yourself all I have to say to you is may the Lord have mercy on your soul
17:30 this is the truest statement I’ve ever heard. My heart and soul hurts from hearing this because I KNOW it’s true. I’ve been feeling this way for a very Very long time. I never belonged in the church but then I never belonged in the world. I had no friends because I felt unworthy around church folk and unwanted since they always had their cliques, but I also would always feel horrible and dirty around unbelievers who would speak nasty and perverse things and jokes. I’ve just felt so left out, for so long. I am 21 now, and I am beginning to find my self in Christ. I will trust in him that he will grow his spirit in me so I become a *true* Christian, and I also will wait on him to give me Christian friends who will be there to also help me grow in Jesus. But I want to first have a firm foundation in him so that I don’t make anything or anyone else my reason for living. I want Him to be my main purpose in this life
I’ll have 5 years sober this next March. Isn’t it such a great feeling?! I used to be scared that I was really going to miss out on something by NOT drinking. How wrong I was
How wonderful joyful for you and as well for others that are clean. Im praying hoping for the best for my dear belove sister who is battling this right now since 2018. May i ask how you become sober?
I am the Lukewarm Christian and I am trying to fix that but I do fall in to temptation easily. I fear the consequences but the temptation tends to overcome my fear and I fall victim to them. I pray that I will one day be strong enough to completely turn away from temptation before it is too late. 🙏
@The Name's Godsvoice Turning from Sin is not possible for man. It is not possible to clean the wicked heart of man yourself by "not sinning". The impossible were only made possible though the work completed by Christ on the Cross. Only his sacrifice and his blood cleans our hearts. No amount of trying not to sin can save us.
@The Name's Godsvoice Nope, you cannot. It is only by the blood of Christ that forgives your past, present, and future sins. We are born sinners and will die sinners. Thanks for Amazing Grace that Christ came to save sinners. Sure we can choose the right path and resist tempation, but that doesn't mean we can stop sinning.
@The Name's Godsvoice With man it is impossible. We can resist temptation, but we cannot stop being sinners. If you believe that you have stopped sinning, then you can boast and depend on your own self-righteousness and no longer need to depend on the righteousness from your Savior. The same lesson given to the rich young man. If you want to be right with God through your own self-righteousness, then have you sold ALL your possessions and given them to the poor? Are you saying that you no longer have any sexual lust in the heart? Have you ever called someone a fool recently? It is impossible to be right with God by our own means. We need to depend on the righteousness provided by our Savior.
This is one of my major issues. I seem to go back and forth. One moment I feel like I am on fire for Jesus and then commit a very dumb sin, feel extremely convicted/ guilty and fall back a thousand steps in my walk. This really scares me!!! Please, Lord forgive me. My heart and soul is willing but my flesh is weak. Please have mercy on my soul and others here whom love you but are also struggling. Praise, Jesus!
Better to be disciplined and be broken than to be left to die to your own, old ways. I so adore that he loves us enough to bring us back to him no matter what it takes to get our attention.
I am sorry God. Please forgive me, for I have forgotten you, I have not how you want me to live. I hav turned my back on you, I am becoming the man my past self and you would hate. But I know through your love, you will forgive me. Help me to come back to you, and live as you want me to. Sorry Father. Forgive me. Edit.. it has been 7 months and I can report I am doing better, I have come back to God and have read his word and prayed more, although there is soooo much room for improvement, I am glad to say I have started my journey with God again and with his help, my therapist, my friends and anti depressants I have come back to the light and ready to live a full life faithfully serving him
@@callumadams8364 God chose you from the begging He will not let no one snatch you from out of His hand ,no one can snatch you from the Fathers hand nor the Lords ,you belong to Him brother 💯 He who began a work in you is faithful to complete it ,run the race bro ,see you there ,
WOW!!! The last bit about the lukewarm Christian? SO TRUE!! You put into words how I always felt in my addiction. I ALWAYS felt guilt and could never fully "enjoy" my sin. I hated it. But that hatred for my sin is what made me cry out to God on a daily basis, asking for deliverance. And tho it took a decade, He finally freed me. Praise our Almighty God forever and ever. Amen
We are loosing our son to alcohol. I am getting to pass. I am grateful for our salvation. God is so good ❤️. I love you so much ❤️. Please pray for my husband 💗. He is not coping well
@ Jana, so sorry to hear this Dear one, 😥😥 praying for you, your husband and Son. May our Gracious God, comfort your hearts, keep you strong in his love and reveal Jesus Christ to your Son in a mighty way, so that he may receive Jesus Christ as his Saviour, God bless you and your family ♥️🙏🌹🌹🕊️
I don’t know who you are but I pray that God will show His power and strength to your family, that your pain and his pain will be his blessing and his testimony. i hope i didn’t say anything wrong, God bless you!! 4:29
I faced a consequence of my sin, one I will never forget, and that's the point...... Visiting my family in Michigan after almost 9 months of of diving into God's word, with the spirit speaking to me, guiding me, leading me, and an indescribable sense of peace in my heart, I met up with a woman I had been thinking about for quite a while. Quite often as we were together 10 years before that, I had the "what if" going on with me. She came to my mothers and we started talking, and it was like we had never lost touch, although we hadn't spoken to each other in years. I wanted her, and the spirit said NO. At this time I was 40, alone, never married, and where it came from I'm not sure, but I became..... frantic. This great fear fell upon me that I might be "alone" for the rest of my life. I became angry. I was really mad that he said NO. As he tried to calm me down, I began to break apart, if you will. At one point I even told him that I wanted her, and not him. I felt like he wasn't being fair. I was diagnosed at 27 years of age as bipolar type II. So many things had happened up until that point of finding out something was wrong. Being beat up at school in my younger days, panic attacks, and just terrible things that I did, and that people did to me, and what I TRIED to do in retaliation. I never ever got to have my "revenge", so to speak. I remained an Atheist until I turned 38, and everything completely fell apart. My life; EVERYTHING. I had that moment where I was at my dining room table, alone and crying like I did when I would go to sleep as a child. At that exact moment, the very words that left my mouth I never thought would, ever..... "God, please help me!" Everything just STOPPED. The anger, the sadness, the hatred of my own life just immediately stopped. And so it went where I just dove into the word. I looked up every preacher I could lay my eyes on online, like John McArther, for example. There's some really bad ones, too so we need to watch out for that. I went to my family's church, and the pastor just walked up to me and said that my 8 year old cousin was being baptized, and asked me if I wanted to as well. I was baptized that following Sunday by the Pastor, and my uncle who is a Deacon in the church. It was like everything just started to come together like this giant 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle spread on a table just being pieced together slowly, but surely. I left for Michigan and there she was, like she was being dropped in my lap, and then the Spirit said NO. I went after her anyways. We fornicated, we smoked marijuana together, and we were watching shows that I had cut myself from due to their nature. Up until that point I was only listening to Christian music (mostly from the 1990's) and Christian programming. It all came undone when I started seeing her. What I did was not her fault. As the Spirit warned me not to be with her, things were still looking good, though, or so I thought. We were looking at wedding dresses and rings, and it seemed maybe I was getting a pass on it...... I WASN'T. She told me that SHE was feeling like God was telling her not to be with me. You see.... she listened to him where I didn't. She broke it off from me. Then...... hypomania fell on me. Even when my doctors tried to "up" my medication NOTHING worked. It got worse, and worse. Not to mention that the Spirit was no longer speaking to me, but he let something else take over. That..... voice.... unless you've ever heard a demons voice you can't know what it's like. 7 months, everyone. 7 months I had to deal with this. I parked my car in my garage. I taped off a shop vac vacuum hose to my exhaust, and taped it off on the passenger side window. I was ready. I thought God was done with me. I thought I was finished. I had fasted numerous times, and prayed for God to forgive me over that 7 months repeatedly, but it kept going. I was waiting for the night to come, but then when night came...... it stopped. The "voice" stopped. The hypomania was gone. I didn't even know what to do at that point. Three days earlier I was given a dream.... I was standing outside of my grandfathers barn like I did when I was child. I had walked up the stairs to the second floor, and the staircase disappeared. It was pitch black, with the doors open on the other end, and a light shining through to the floor. The floor was rotting out from underneath itself, and this great fear was over me. I tiptoed across and when I got to the open doors there was a great chasm separating me from the other side. There was a crane on the right side of the chasm, and I grabbed a hold of the wires connected to a hook. I put my foot into the hook, and swung to the other side. Just as I landed on my feet, I was in front of the barn again. I don't know why, but I went up the stairs again. When I reached the top, it was the same scenario...... the stairs were gone, it was dark, and the doors were open on the other end with the light shinning through. The floor looked even worse than before, but there were plywood squares like you'd use for flooring placed just far enough away to jump from one to the other, which I did to get to the other side. I got to the doors, and the chasm was still there, but the crane was gone. I backed up, and took a running start and jumped. Just as I landed on my feet on the other side, I was in front of the barn again. Why??? I found myself going up the stairs AGAIN! The stairs disappeared again, and this time I'm fearful of what's coming. I can see it. The floor is giving way, and there's no way out. I'm on my hands and knees, shaking, crying, and I couldn't get out. I started to move forward on my hands and knees in desperation just wanting this to end, and the floor gave out. I fell. It was barley a fall, though. There were totes and blankets all over the place as I landed on my back, and even as I looked up and saw how far I had fallen, I didn't get hurt. My crying had stopped, and the light was shinning from the hole above me. Then a very familiar voice said to me..... "I will always be with you." "I will NEVER leave you." In one hand that was open from the fall, two blue coins fell from the opening of the flooring above. I was ready to die. I was ready to kill myself during our Father's chastening of me. Will I ever KNOWINGLY disobey him AGAIN when he tells me no? When YOU are being chastened by our father, know this..... he will NEVER leave you. He will NEVER stop loving you, but when we sin against him...... we will be CORRECTED. If he tells you no, there's a reason. It might be the hardest thing you will ever feel like you are facing at that moment, but you must LISTEN TO HIM. My love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who don't know him yet...... He's waiting for you.
Well I will be honest. I've never read through a post this long but I'm so glad and blessed that I did. No words, except thank you and I'm glad you came out the other end.
Many years ago I use to hang out. And get up and go to church. I use to tell my friends if I could hang out I can get up to go to church. I'm sitting at church tired. I was one who thought it was ok as long as I was there. I'm so glad I came to my senses. GOD is working on Me Thank You JESUS for not giving up on me 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾I'm working on my Walk Day and Night 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I'm Praying for All that are struggling
I was 5 years of chronic illness. Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. And if he can do this, he can do it in you also. 😇🙏 I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🙌🔥👆🏼😊 *All things are possible with God*
But in the King James Version. It Goes On To Read... 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Je'-sus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spir'-it. Romans 8:1 As the entire Verse Is Written. Keep in mind. We are Not to take away or Add anything to His Word. Please know that i'm not trying to be mean. Just point out what All Is Written In The King James Version. I didn't know weather you knew this or not. Only trying to help (-:
This is so true. My mom died from alcoholism, her mother had a long period of drunkenness and HER father was a drunkard...I (my mom's daughter) went thru an entire decade of drunkenness and many years of drug addiction before the Almighty God broke those chains of addiction in my life. Now, my aunt, who is my mother's sister, who has struggled with alcoholism her entire life has found herself in the grip of the Almighty, as He is calling her back into the fold. Brothers and sisters, please pray for my aunt. She is fighting an uphill battle, with many more decades than I of addiction. Please keep her in your prayers, that she would continue to seek the Lord and submit to Him. Thank you all, and may the God of GREAT mercy and grace, shine His face upon you and be gracious to you, and give you His shalom (His peace) in Jesus name. Amen.
Praying In Jesus Christ Mighty Name that the spirit of alcohol be binded up in the name of Jesus, Gird yourself up in The LORD Praying for peace in your Walk With GOD 🙏 Blessings to you
God will give her the strength to be strong....We bind the demon spirits of drunkenness...to be released completely...in Jesus almighty name..amen and amen... ..
Jesus is Lord and God (John 20:28 NIV). Are names were not already written in the book of life because someones name being written in the book of life is their choice for it to be written. Are name is written in the book of life IF we CHOOSE to be a child of God and NOT REMAIN a sinner. Jesus DID NOT die for us to remain a sinner. Please read (John 8:11 NLT) and (John 5:14 NLT). Are name can be took out of the book of life if we go back to being a sinner and written back if we choose to be a child of God. Your either a Christian who's a sinner or a Christian who's a child of God choose. Heaven will be filled with children of God not sinners. All sinners will be cast into Hell. Please read (Revelation 20:15) for someone's name not to be found written that means it wasn't written or their name was written and it was took out. Then read (Matthew 7 21-23 esv). Many Christians will have their name NOT found written in the book of life. Jesus will say to them "DEPART FROM ME" because they are workers of lawlessness wich is SIN (1 John 3:4 esv) wich means they are sinners. Children of God are not workers of lawlessness read (1 john 3:9 GNT) that means children of God are not sinners. Christians who are Sinners will NOT be found written in the book of life only Christians who are children of God will be found written and only they will enter Heaven NOT Christians who are sinners.
@Mike Padios I pray you find the correct congregation bro. True Christianity is love initspurest form. We are called to love the world like Jesus did and a true Christian with the holy spirit does just that 💟🙏
@Andrew Simpson why hail satan when you can hail Jesus 😞 satan hates you amd wants you to die, suffer, and end up in hell but Jesus loves you and wants you to rejoice in heaven.

You challenge my faith in a positive way. In my heart I really want to share the gospel on the streets. These videos help me conquer my doubts and turn my eyes to our Lord ! One day I feel like God will use me for great things, in Jesus name. Thank you my friend, your words really open ours eyes and hearts 🙏❤
I was a filthy rotten sinner, now I am saved by Christs finished work on the cross. God is still working in me to remove all the junk that I have filled my heart with when I was in the world.
I like this video You cannot serve two masters and say " I am saved". People forget about genuine repentant heart. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Being overconfident is dangerous.
If Holy spirit is in you he will convict you and keep you humbled and loving towards people around you. Holy Spirit prepares you and changes you. You start - speak differently - think differently - react differently There will be a sign of change in you. Obviously no one is perfect but Pride, ego and ignorance is not a sign of the Holy spirit. Jesus said Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father. So if you say " God is in me" Is there a sign of change in you ? Or are you the same?
@@mirkoboi So I felt like u were gonna say that. So it looks like I did understand what your original comment was. However the people in Matthew 7 who will not enter the kingdom of Heaven that Jesus is referring to are people who are trusting in their WORKS AND SIGNS of having the Holy Spirit and not in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ ALONE
I am definitely a Luke warm Christian and I am suffering a lot , I don’t know how to hear god or how to do anything right , I’m really in a place of distress now , please pray for me I need a breakthrough
I absolutely love that you are not condescending at all towards people. That’s truly how Christians should act. These videos are so amazing and so calming despite their powerful messages. Your videos have helped me start praying everyday, and I’ve seen a change in my life. Thank you for these videos. God bless you. -Sky
Never stop your evangelism. I love to listen to your TH-cam channel. How many others admit to their backsliding ways, just like I have done myself. You help strengthen me to get closer to our Lord. God Bless you.!
That’s why I don’t know if I’m ever going to make any new friends. I don’t want to go back to being a Lukewarm Christian because as soon as I let gossipers, worldly people be my friends, I get weak. I do struggle with certain sin still (mainly lying), but I’m not looking to wander back into being a Lukewarm Christian.
let's keep trying to learn through the teachings good ways to live, most of all trying to learn to be kind and understanding with others (if carefully at times in a dangerous and saddened world, Matthew 10:16) He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? (Micah 6:8) (Psalm 37:11) (Luke 6:35 - 36)
Ask God to lead you into a church, he supplies everything we need. Delight yourself in the lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. God bless! Spread the good news!
@@john-ni3pi I wish that were true but it’s not. Our God is a relational God and He desires for us to be with others. When He created the world and man, the only thing He said that was not good was for man to be alone. When we are alone we are more susceptible to the enemy’s lies
No sin is worse than any others right? I think God judges all sins equally. Since we are all rotten sinners, it’s safe to say none of us are “above” or “better sinners” than others. You shouldn’t not be friends with people just because they sin- it’s kind of hypocritical bc if everyone didn’t want to be friends with sinners we’d all be alone. So, i think the point I’m trying to make is don’t end a good friendship just because your friend is a sinner, because we all are.
I pray to Lord God, cleanse me with your blood along with anyone reading this that we may depart from any sin or association with sin, please cut off any ties with any sin and friendship or tolerance with it. Help us run far from it and closer to you Lord. correct us, discipline us and lead us into your love again. Help us God because we NEED you. I love you and want to show it in my actions, not just with my lips but with my HEART. Please lord, I beg, save us. In Jesus' name Amen.
This speech touched my heart, I am just getting out of a hard spot I hit rock bottom and lost everything , it is true I was straying away little by little I am back in spirit but not in monitary value but that doesn’t matter . I love the father and I am thankful everyday . Thank you for your beautiful words and encouragement
I’m a filthy, rotten sinner, too! But I’m a forgiven, dirty, rotten, sinner, who has been born from above by the Holy Spirit. My heart’s been changed by the horrible things I’ve been through in life and I can see how God used these things to give me wisdom and strength and bring me into a true relationship with Him. I praise God for all He has done for me and Jesus for His great Sacrifice to save my soul! The peace and joy God has given me truly is beyond understanding! Thanks, Joe!
This really convicted me because I have been struggling with sexual immorality and your right I’ve been miserable and just depressed with myself and I Thank You for telling me to be holy and warning me of my actions
we are all struggling but remember salvation is a gift we cant earn that if you are saved thats it we should grow i have the same problem as you sexuall immorality
Repeat scriptures in your head or keep your hands/ your mind busy and focused on something else e.g. reading the bible. You can also pray the moment you feel like you’re about to fall into temptation. One thing that really helped me too was to remember the feeling I had once I committed the sin ( I usually felt ashamed and I was to embarrassed to cry out to God). You have to think long-term what will this sin bring you ? It can’t satisfy you the way God can so is it worth it ? I know it’s hard, sometimes I still get tempted at times too but don’t be discouraged and don’t give up. God is with you all the time.
@@kirstenanderson7313 He sure does! I'm not even fit for my beloved Savior to spit on the ground that I walk on, but for Him to shed His blood on it ! Wow! Blessed, that's all there is to it my friend!
@@AngelicaMop34 when I was committing sexual immorality at the age of 27, I contracted mumps despite having the vaccine as a child. Earlier, my girlfriend contracted a cyst on a certain area. God will chasten you. With me He has used disease. I knew Why He did it each time.
This speaks to me greatly, sir. I used to be bullied and beaten in youth, by so many, I gloried in my curiousity, and so many teased, then beat then targeted me in cruelty for so many years, Sometmes,i thought it would be best to just disappear someway... but always found strength to deal with it, to carry on.... throughout life. i used to walk on my weekend off of family work to go fishing, and at sunset, shook my fist at the sky, and talked and talked, ..... and shared..... and thought.... and wondered, and hoped for His word, but over life....i heard it, like a subliminal voice in my head, when I thought of some things,i knew the answer, when i desperately needed help wheni just couldnt do 'it' anymore, strangers or circumstances would intervene and save me...God does speak to you, in many ways, through many people, and their minds. therefor i must thank you today, i love you. for your discussions here
I'm struggling with slight laziness and more so pending my time wisely (focusing more on Jesus Christ) I ask that someone would pray for me that myself and others will come to know Christ so that we all may have an unbreakable bonded relationship that will never be shaken by what we think is acceptable
Dear God I lift up J before you tonight. First and foremost may you forgive us of our sins. We thank you so much for all that you have done for us. May you help us to put you first. May nothing in this physical world mean more to us than you. May our hearts seek you earnestly as you have done unto us. May you bless J with strength, motivation, inspiration, purpose, favor, wisdom, guidance, protection, provision, forgiveness, peace, joy,restoration, healing, deliverance, closure, victory, freedom, intervention, discernment, salvation, and passion for the things of Jesus Christ and your heavenly will for his life. May you please open doors of opportunity for him and surround him with your presence. May we not remain lukewarm if we are. May he and the rest of the people who have seen this video know undoubtedly that it is you who has answered him. In Jesus name Amen.
That’s amazing! When I was in my darkest moments, suffering severe depression because I was feeling sorry for myself because of what my life had become, not accepting that it was all my doing. God said three words to me too, He said “Don’t cry wolf” in an instant I knew what he meant and from that moment on I took responsibility for my life, for my sins, confessed my sins and gave my life to Him.
@@dalmatiansausage6603 thank you for your comment but you are misunderstanding what those words meant to me, compared to the meaning of the words you have mentioned. They are two different things. I know for sure that I am not decieved because I know that I was wretched man. An adulterer addicted to drugs and sex. But after my encounter I have now been born again and my life of sin is now a life of service to God. My heart has been completely changed, I am cleansed from those addictions and I now keep Gods commandments. I love Him with all my heart, mind and soul and I help others in need by working for charities and donating money to people in need. So there is no deception here, just the truth that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and God our father chose to have mercy on this sinner and save my soul. God bless and I also wish you all the best!
@@brandonjcollins1062 He appears to each of us in His own way. I had a vision. We know when it is the good Master by the fruits produced. Praise be to Him. Lord Jesus, we just love You. Do not feel the need to validate His work in you to another.. for they show to those around us, through Him;& His Word from our lips, not brags. Testify, yes! But, check the line of where His work ends, and you taking credit begins. Do you help others? Or does He.. through you!

I felt like i was back sliding and I was looseing my fire for the lord becoming Luke warm but this videos made me cry and realize what I have done so thank u so much for helping me come back to my father thank u so much
Alan from the Beat sent me. This message has me almost in tears. I was living less then lukewarm for 21 years. 6 years ago I got sick and was eventually diagnosed with a chronic illness. However through this I am back at church and closer then ever. Now I ask God to show me how to serve him with my illness.
I’m a Lukewarm Christian, my Family started to stop believing 😭 and. now I’m reading the Bible and when I pray its like God isn’t listening I pray that I will be obedient soon 😭🙏🏽
A key thing here is 'worth.' -Is eternal life worth it? -Are eternal rewards worth it? I suppose they are. -Is Christ worth it? Oh, yes He is! Do you know something: the word 'worship' comes from an older form: 'worthship', seemingly meaning to ascribe or recognize worth in something. There is no ultimate satisfaction in this world. You only find that in the ultimate Being, God. There is no way we can make Him owe us. But He loves us: and sent His Son to die for our sins - to pay the wages of sin on the cross, and bear the righteous justice - the wrath - of God in our place. The ultimate Being, Creator of our world and us: do you think He knows what He's doing when He commands you to do something? Do you think His commands come from a place of love? --- So, in your life, what's worth it? What is worth placing over Him? Time and again I think you'll find two things: -Sin never is worth it -Jesus always is In Romans 12, Paul writes of not being conformed to this world, but rather 'be transformed by the renewing of your mind': -Recognizing what is true, not merely acting by feelings -Renewing your mind (ongoing action, not a one&done deal) in the truth Ray Comfort put it well, I think: When's the last time you ate? When's the last time you read your Bible? ==== Thanks for the vid! I've a long way to go, but Jesus is faithful.
This message was deeply powerful... thank you! We can't keep procrastinating with God! He is watching every step we take to see if we obey his instructions...so well said. Promotion comes after obeying...
I like to listen to him. He has a soft voice. I learn from every video he posts. Thank you for sharing God's words. You are very wise. Stay Safe. God Bless you and your family.
His Amazing Grace has indeed saved and continues to save a wretch like me. Thanks Joe, for an honest and truthful message about a powerful and Holy God that truly chastises those He loves. God bless you, my young brother, and keep preaching the Whole Gospel.
"In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Words of Jesus from John 16:33. These words encourage me everyday, let them encourage you. Seek the Father for strength and encouragement, just as our Lord did. Peace be with you.
This Message touches my heart Joe! Thank you Jesus for letting waking up Joe to preach this importan Message!! In Jesus most Powerful, Almighty, Loving, High, Bless-full, Forgiving, Brave name I Pray in, AMEN!!!!❤️🕊️✝️👑.
Thank you my British brother. I was born in El Salvador, Central America. But I am a naturalized American. I keep on rebelling against God, but youtube keeps on recommending your messages. I do not want to rebel but it is so easy to do it. Thank you for your love and messages, I feel like crying in repentance hearing your message of love. The love of God is.
Please pray for me. I’m sick of my wife. Please help me in prayer to keep my mouth shut and bite my tongue while I go through my struggles with my wife. I don’t want to harm her verbally.
Please...Words have power. Our Lord created the entire universe and everything in it just by speaking. As long as you continue to say "I'm sick of my wife", you will continue to feel this way. And biting your tongue will only help the hurt and resentment to fester and grow. Instead, please pray something like this every day. And even MANY TIMES each day: "Lord Jesus, Please help me love my wife again. Help me to see the good things I used to see in her that made me want to marry her above all others. Help me to act lovingly to her. Bless both of us and heal our marriage, Lord. I know that all things are possible to those who believe on you, and I know you can take bad situations and turn them around for the Glory of God. Please Lord Jesus...heal both of us and our marriage for the Glory of God. Thank you, Lord Jesus." Praying for you and your wife. God Bless!
I will uphold you in ma prayer that God will once again make your relationship healthy...To fall in love again with her.....In Jesus name all the hatred will be gone away...and God will again touch your stony heart to understand the love that you once were in...Amen...For God is love...
I hope God helps you, if you have faith you will change. We will pray for you, but you have to pray for yourself too. I don’t know nothing about love or marriage because well im still young. But what I have seen in my parents is that when they have trouble they work it out, TOGETHER. Pray with her, pray together, grab her hand and sit down and start praying. Tell God that whatever demon is tormenting you in your marriage, to take them away, pray to God to make your marriage stronger than ever, ask God to make you and your wife love again. And remember pray together, hold her hand and start praying. I hope it’s not to late! Wishing you the best in your marriage! Amen
To example what Hot Lukewarm and cold are Hot is saved and does the job of evangelizing Lukewarm is unsaved because it has lacking and unbeleiving hearts Cold is saved which is making deciples with other saved Christians What everybody gets wrong with lukewarm and cold including Joe is that they think lukewarm is a mix of hot and cold like hot is holy and cold is sinful. If you think that then why does Jesus perfer cold over lukewarm plus it contradicts the fact God has no desire that anyone should perish. You either be his hot spring or his drink of refreshing water, lukewarm does not work on either springs nor drinks
Joe you have been a huge blessing to me. I feel a very real connection to you all the way across the pond. I certainly appreciate all your messages even the tough ones. You are doing great work for the Lord !!!
I have been lukewarm. I was walking so faithfully after my break up for a whole year and then found myself falling back into the same pattern. But, I don't enjoy it afterwards. There's this horrid wave of depression and guilt afterwards that wasn't there before. Please pray for me to overcome this battle. God bless you for this channel. It has helped me monumentally.
I am a Luke warm Christian. I go to church, I've memorized the beatitudes, I say the right things. But I commit awful sin every day. I pray ask for forgiveness for the sin, but I commit the same sins the following day or that night. its getting to the Point where I'm starting not to feel that sorry. And that terrifies me. There's even a part of me now telling me to stop typing this and that its a waste of time. But your video is showing me that what I'm doing is completely wrong everything about how I'm going about it. I thank you so much! I feel that God has brought me to your video and its a blessing. All I can say is thank you, and praise God.
I quit coffee two months ago ☺️ I asked the Lord if I should quit my coffee habit and the next day I quit.... thank you God 🙌🏻 the blessing In corona is that it’s brought me closer to God
To my Christian ✝️ brother Joe, So good to see and read your post on Jerrens TH-cam channel (Aoc network)🙂!! I believe my post was right before yours.. And thank you for all your hard work getting our Lords word out. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family and give you strength to face the written times were about to come into. I myself are more than ready.. Only Jesus ❤ From the 62 year old carpenter ☝️
As a lukewarm I have not been able to enjoy christ... But I haven't been also able to enjoy my sin because of guilt... And this message said that out loud for me... May GOD bless you more
I am so confused. Am I a lukewarm Christian? I dont read my bible anymore...I pray every night and every morning and thank him for everything in my life and I ask for forgiveness after sinning. My life outside is I'm trying to keep myself for marriage. A childhood friend of mine tried to influence me to have sex with her (friends with benefits) but I nicely said na that's not for me. My work place is filled with perverted talkers and people who get angry easily. I keep my kool and dont reply when they disrespect me. Please I'm confused...im always conscious of what I say and do around others. Am I doing good or do I need to od better?😔
It sounds as though you are trying to live a Christian life without reading God's Word. No wonder you feel confused with everything around you. Your spirit can't grow in wisdom and strength if you don't feed it, my brother in Christ. Please...start reading! God Bless! :)
Thank you so much!! When you said "Holiness=Happiness" that hit me so bad :( I feel sad most of the time. It's because I do not obey God most of time. I read the Bible but I don't pray that much. Now I know.. Obedience to God is the answer.. Obeying God will bring back the joy in my life. God is truly speaking through you. Please keep making videos, it is very encouraging and helping people back to God.
I've been struggling with Christianity and I'm 17. These videos remind me of what I believe and love,Jesus christ. Being a teenager and trying to not fall into earthly desires,is hard but these videos are very helpful.
I'm a filthy rotten sinner. Praise be to the Lord for giving me His righteousness through my belief in Him. I can't explain it, but I know it. I will Praise the Lord forever for his showing his Mercy & Grace to this undeserving sinner.

Great message. A much needed message these days. Holiness and obedience to the Lord are just not being taught from most pulpits today. So many preachers today are preaching a watered down version of the gospel. They have sugar coated it. They have compromised the word of God and as a result much of the body of Christ, including many of the preachers, pastors themselves have become lukewarm.
Will Jesus find any faithful when He returns?

Hi
Joe I thank for the message I real want say in depth of my heart God bless you all and your family I thank for the truth
May we see what we have and learn how to use it to glorify God. I’ve never had a garage sale really and I feel compelled to sell or donate many items I no longer use or need in my life ...to find someone who will see value in it maybe (or trash or find a way to repurpose maybe). There’s so much paper I have too - ugh! 🤯
❤️❤️❤️
I want to be that Christian that is on fire for God finding my way back to Him. Hoping He’ll see it fit to hear my cry after running fit so long.
He will always hear your cry. He loves you, it is NOT too late. Keep on fighting the GOOD fight. You are loved.
Amen I pray for you!
Me too ✋
"Is anyone else, like me, a filthy rotten sinner?" The tears started rolling.
When we have godly sorrow, that is a good sign. It shows we are under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The Lord admonishes those He loves. It is a sign of being one of His sons. The Holy Spirit leads us to repentance. Take heart, my brother, and turn to God. He loves you with an everlasting love.
For real !
Me! 😪😪😭🙌
Sin is more fun than being god's little slave
@@zxpalpha8664 It can be. And for those who truly follow God, their lives become more complicated and miserable.
As a Christian I have decided to read the whole Bible and understand the full teachings of the Lord, I’m only in Genesis now and I want to continue reading the whole Bible and I want to escape lukewarm Christianity and by doing that I ask God to break me and discipline me and reveal me I’ve been a believer this whole time but then I realized that I’m in trouble that I was walking lukewarm Christianity I decided enough is enough I will not stand here and make the Lord very angry , I will be a full Christian not a lukewarm I will spend time with God by reading the whole Bible please pray that I’m able to complete that journey and I’ll pray for you too as well
Amen💕
That’s the right way! Amen 🙏

@@offthekirb am I lukewarm? I fall into temptation sometimes and I don’t know if I am lukewarm? I don’t sin because I want too it just happens. Please answer me I’m worrying!
I cry to the Lord to forgive my sin.. And that sin comes back at my face and I can't throw away this sexual sin ... Its more than a decade and I have been born again and baptise and I can't tolerate it anymore... Lord I beg you please help me I want to get out of this forever 🙏🙏😭
I overcame these sins very easily. You know what I did? Realized how unnecessary they were. Once, twise, three, four times. Again and again. I only got temporary satesfaction. And when you come to realize how much you displease God, how much you hurt yourself just because your fleshly nature wants a little "treat", THEN you will see how useless sin is in comparison to peace from God.
Next time you are tempted, try to look ahead of the sin. How are you going to feel about this today? Tomorrow? Will other people find out? If so what are they going to think about you? How much will it bring down and disturb your relationship with the loving God?
If you want, you can pray that I myself will overcome the sin of shame of God. I don't understand how and why I'm even ashamed of God. Just why? I'm dragged down, depressed, troubled, worried day and night. I'm never truly happy anymore. Because I don't share the Gospel. Please pray for me and many others to share the Gospel.
Hi. Read Romans 12:2, renew your mind on the Lord always, and it can turn around for you. God bless.
im sorry god is on your side on your side its the hardest sin to break have faith keep praying keep fighting iv won some iv lost some with christ power we will both make it
Fast and pray. You can be free
@@samuelbashlor9102 thank u so much 🙏🙏🙏
Sin really is so horrible! For a Christian who falls into temptation, the conviction and guilt you feel after is NOT WORTH ANY SIN! Feeling so distant from God & being constantly confronted with the way you hurt Him & your relationship with Him because of a stupid sin is actually the worst!! I can never stop thanking God for His mercy and forgiveness!😭 May God continually help us to walk in the path of righteousness!🙏🏾
It’s been a little over a year since I lost my dad. Was deep into addiction, manic depression anger towards everyone and was planning to take my life. Then out of nowhere God sweeps in and turns me away from the darkness. It’s like everything was suddenly at peace. I’ve been clean for almost a year now, my mental illnesses have seem to disappear, got a hold on my sexual sins, becoming easier to live like and for Christ and finally building a relationship with my mom and most important my relationship with Jesus Christ. There is nothing he can’t do. God bless all you brothers and sisters ❤️😇
Amen ! Keep The Faith ! Thank you for sharing. May your testimony bless others. God is able🙌
I just lost my father..and its the greatest loss of my life. I take courage in that he accepted God as His Saviour. However I know God is our Father.. He will never ever leave us or forsake us. In the words of David ....Though mother and father forsake me you will take me in
That is a beautiful testimony, and I was blessed by reading it! Praise be to GOD for his tender mercies. I'm always so in awe of how much He loves us, regardless of the wretched state we are in, and there is nothing we do to earn this love. It's unearned, unmerited grace × it humbles me and just blows me away. I pray that blessings continue to fall upon you and your life. Thank you again for sharing your story. 🙏❤🙏
A-men' & A-men'😘
Thank you all who replied. God bless you all 💕🙏🏽
In Summary
If we live in sin:
1. God wont listen to our prayers
2. We will lose our witness to Jesus
3. God will discipline us
4. God wont bless us
5. We will reap what we sow
Holiness = Happiness

Thank U Rufus . I am writing them down and putting them on my refrigerator. ♥️👍
This is true and untrue at the same time
@@aserawi5966 how?
In my experience it's all true .... I lived in SO much sin for the past 4 years and it's thanks ONLY to His forgiveness and His love that I've been able to stop smoking Crack. I ought to be dead and burning in Hell for the things I've done, but instead thanks to His mercy I'm able to sit here and type this message....i haven't smoked Crack in almost 3 weeks now
Please take it from me do not deny or question God.... but if you feel you MUST find out for yourself all I have to say to you is may the Lord have mercy on your soul
17:30 this is the truest statement I’ve ever heard. My heart and soul hurts from hearing this because I KNOW it’s true. I’ve been feeling this way for a very Very long time. I never belonged in the church but then I never belonged in the world. I had no friends because I felt unworthy around church folk and unwanted since they always had their cliques, but I also would always feel horrible and dirty around unbelievers who would speak nasty and perverse things and jokes. I’ve just felt so left out, for so long. I am 21 now, and I am beginning to find my self in Christ. I will trust in him that he will grow his spirit in me so I become a *true* Christian, and I also will wait on him to give me Christian friends who will be there to also help me grow in Jesus. But I want to first have a firm foundation in him so that I don’t make anything or anyone else my reason for living. I want Him to be my main purpose in this life
May God bless you & keep you Holy. May he provide for you the friends you need.
I feel the same as you. I will be your friend if you want.
Jesus will always be with us! He paid our debt in full!
Thank you. I am the same way. You encouraged me.

Your comment just touch my spirit it’s so true I cannot stop crying😢 it’s so crazy how we all go through the same things...have a blessed day today🙏🙏
I am the Lukewarm Christian and I am trying to fix that but I do fall in to temptation easily. I fear the consequences but the temptation tends to overcome my fear and I fall victim to them. I pray that I will one day be strong enough to completely turn away from temptation before it is too late. 🙏
@The Name's Godsvoice Not possible.
@The Name's Godsvoice Turning from Sin is not possible for man. It is not possible to clean the wicked heart of man yourself by "not sinning". The impossible were only made possible though the work completed by Christ on the Cross. Only his sacrifice and his blood cleans our hearts. No amount of trying not to sin can save us.
@The Name's Godsvoice Nope, you cannot. It is only by the blood of Christ that forgives your past, present, and future sins. We are born sinners and will die sinners. Thanks for Amazing Grace that Christ came to save sinners. Sure we can choose the right path and resist tempation, but that doesn't mean we can stop sinning.
@The Name's Godsvoice With man it is impossible. We can resist temptation, but we cannot stop being sinners. If you believe that you have stopped sinning, then you can boast and depend on your own self-righteousness and no longer need to depend on the righteousness from your Savior. The same lesson given to the rich young man. If you want to be right with God through your own self-righteousness, then have you sold ALL your possessions and given them to the poor? Are you saying that you no longer have any sexual lust in the heart? Have you ever called someone a fool recently? It is impossible to be right with God by our own means. We need to depend on the righteousness provided by our Savior.
@The Name's Godsvoice I didn't say we cannot resist temptation. I said we cannot stop being sinners.
This is one of my major issues. I seem to go back and forth. One moment I feel like I am on fire for Jesus and then commit a very dumb sin, feel extremely convicted/ guilty and fall back a thousand steps in my walk. This really scares me!!! Please, Lord forgive me. My heart and soul is willing but my flesh is weak. Please have mercy on my soul and others here whom love you but are also struggling. Praise, Jesus!
Me too 😞 Luckily we have our Father to help us🥺
Let's try fasting! It helps with overcoming temptation
Read the Bible.... read the Bible when you are tempted ....Read every chance you get .
The same with me. It's like my taking two steps forward, and one step back. A Romans Chapter 7 Sitiuation )-;
I think this is the cross we bear daily.
Better to be disciplined and be broken than to be left to die to your own, old ways. I so adore that he loves us enough to bring us back to him no matter what it takes to get our attention.
Amen Kevin, I couldn't agree more!
But if you remain in your old ways you shall be spat out, even if you give him your attention .
I am sorry God. Please forgive me, for I have forgotten you, I have not how you want me to live. I hav turned my back on you, I am becoming the man my past self and you would hate. But I know through your love, you will forgive me. Help me to come back to you, and live as you want me to. Sorry Father. Forgive me.
Edit.. it has been 7 months and I can report I am doing better, I have come back to God and have read his word and prayed more, although there is soooo much room for improvement, I am glad to say I have started my journey with God again and with his help, my therapist, my friends and anti depressants I have come back to the light and ready to live a full life faithfully serving him
He does and bless you 🙏 ❤

WOW!!! The last bit about the lukewarm Christian? SO TRUE!! You put into words how I always felt in my addiction. I ALWAYS felt guilt and could never fully "enjoy" my sin. I hated it. But that hatred for my sin is what made me cry out to God on a daily basis, asking for deliverance. And tho it took a decade, He finally freed me. Praise our Almighty God forever and ever. Amen

I faced a consequence of my sin, one I will never forget, and that's the point......
Visiting my family in Michigan after almost 9 months of of diving into God's word, with the spirit speaking to me, guiding me, leading me, and an indescribable sense of peace in my heart, I met up with a woman I had been thinking about for quite a while. Quite often as we were together 10 years before that, I had the "what if" going on with me.
She came to my mothers and we started talking, and it was like we had never lost touch, although we hadn't spoken to each other in years. I wanted her, and the spirit said NO. At this time I was 40, alone, never married, and where it came from I'm not sure, but I became..... frantic. This great fear fell upon me that I might be "alone" for the rest of my life.
I became angry. I was really mad that he said NO. As he tried to calm me down, I began to break apart, if you will. At one point I even told him that I wanted her, and not him. I felt like he wasn't being fair. I was diagnosed at 27 years of age as bipolar type II. So many things had happened up until that point of finding out something was wrong. Being beat up at school in my younger days, panic attacks, and just terrible things that I did, and that people did to me, and what I TRIED to do in retaliation. I never ever got to have my "revenge", so to speak.
I remained an Atheist until I turned 38, and everything completely fell apart. My life; EVERYTHING. I had that moment where I was at my dining room table, alone and crying like I did when I would go to sleep as a child. At that exact moment, the very words that left my mouth I never thought would, ever..... "God, please help me!" Everything just STOPPED. The anger, the sadness, the hatred of my own life just immediately stopped. And so it went where I just dove into the word. I looked up every preacher I could lay my eyes on online, like John McArther, for example. There's some really bad ones, too so we need to watch out for that.
I went to my family's church, and the pastor just walked up to me and said that my 8 year old cousin was being baptized, and asked me if I wanted to as well. I was baptized that following Sunday by the Pastor, and my uncle who is a Deacon in the church. It was like everything just started to come together like this giant 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle spread on a table just being pieced together slowly, but surely.
I left for Michigan and there she was, like she was being dropped in my lap, and then the Spirit said NO. I went after her anyways. We fornicated, we smoked marijuana together, and we were watching shows that I had cut myself from due to their nature. Up until that point I was only listening to Christian music (mostly from the 1990's) and Christian programming. It all came undone when I started seeing her. What I did was not her fault. As the Spirit warned me not to be with her, things were still looking good, though, or so I thought. We were looking at wedding dresses and rings, and it seemed maybe I was getting a pass on it...... I WASN'T.
She told me that SHE was feeling like God was telling her not to be with me. You see.... she listened to him where I didn't. She broke it off from me. Then...... hypomania fell on me. Even when my doctors tried to "up" my medication NOTHING worked. It got worse, and worse. Not to mention that the Spirit was no longer speaking to me, but he let something else take over. That..... voice.... unless you've ever heard a demons voice you can't know what it's like. 7 months, everyone. 7 months I had to deal with this.
I parked my car in my garage. I taped off a shop vac vacuum hose to my exhaust, and taped it off on the passenger side window. I was ready. I thought God was done with me. I thought I was finished. I had fasted numerous times, and prayed for God to forgive me over that 7 months repeatedly, but it kept going. I was waiting for the night to come, but then when night came...... it stopped. The "voice" stopped. The hypomania was gone. I didn't even know what to do at that point.
Three days earlier I was given a dream....
I was standing outside of my grandfathers barn like I did when I was child. I had walked up the stairs to the second floor, and the staircase disappeared. It was pitch black, with the doors open on the other end, and a light shining through to the floor. The floor was rotting out from underneath itself, and this great fear was over me. I tiptoed across and when I got to the open doors there was a great chasm separating me from the other side. There was a crane on the right side of the chasm, and I grabbed a hold of the wires connected to a hook. I put my foot into the hook, and swung to the other side. Just as I landed on my feet, I was in front of the barn again.
I don't know why, but I went up the stairs again. When I reached the top, it was the same scenario...... the stairs were gone, it was dark, and the doors were open on the other end with the light shinning through. The floor looked even worse than before, but there were plywood squares like you'd use for flooring placed just far enough away to jump from one to the other, which I did to get to the other side. I got to the doors, and the chasm was still there, but the crane was gone. I backed up, and took a running start and jumped. Just as I landed on my feet on the other side, I was in front of the barn again.
Why??? I found myself going up the stairs AGAIN! The stairs disappeared again, and this time I'm fearful of what's coming. I can see it. The floor is giving way, and there's no way out. I'm on my hands and knees, shaking, crying, and I couldn't get out. I started to move forward on my hands and knees in desperation just wanting this to end, and the floor gave out. I fell. It was barley a fall, though. There were totes and blankets all over the place as I landed on my back, and even as I looked up and saw how far I had fallen, I didn't get hurt. My crying had stopped, and the light was shinning from the hole above me. Then a very familiar voice said to me..... "I will always be with you." "I will NEVER leave you." In one hand that was open from the fall, two blue coins fell from the opening of the flooring above.
I was ready to die. I was ready to kill myself during our Father's chastening of me. Will I ever KNOWINGLY disobey him AGAIN when he tells me no? When YOU are being chastened by our father, know this..... he will NEVER leave you. He will NEVER stop loving you, but when we sin against him...... we will be CORRECTED. If he tells you no, there's a reason. It might be the hardest thing you will ever feel like you are facing at that moment, but you must LISTEN TO HIM.
My love to all my brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who don't know him yet...... He's waiting for you.
Well I will be honest. I've never read through a post this long but I'm so glad and blessed that I did. No words, except thank you and I'm glad you came out the other end.
Such a blessed inspiring post. Wont hive up seeking him.

Many years ago I use to hang out. And get up and go to church. I use to tell my friends if I could hang out I can get up to go to church. I'm sitting at church tired. I was one who thought it was ok as long as I was there. I'm so glad I came to my senses. GOD is working on Me Thank You JESUS for not giving up on me 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾I'm working on my Walk Day and Night 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I'm Praying for All that are struggling
I was 5 years of chronic illness. Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.
But God did an amazing work. And if he can do this, he can do it in you also. 😇🙏
I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also.
*Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🙌🔥👆🏼😊
*All things are possible with God*
Amen!! ALL GLORY TO GOD!
Keep going GOD IS WITH YOU
Thank you for teaching me a bit more of our father Jesus Christ I want to be more than just a lucke warm Christian.

This is so true. My mom died from alcoholism, her mother had a long period of drunkenness and HER father was a drunkard...I (my mom's daughter) went thru an entire decade of drunkenness and many years of drug addiction before the Almighty God broke those chains of addiction in my life. Now, my aunt, who is my mother's sister, who has struggled with alcoholism her entire life has found herself in the grip of the Almighty, as He is calling her back into the fold. Brothers and sisters, please pray for my aunt. She is fighting an uphill battle, with many more decades than I of addiction. Please keep her in your prayers, that she would continue to seek the Lord and submit to Him. Thank you all, and may the God of GREAT mercy and grace, shine His face upon you and be gracious to you, and give you His shalom (His peace) in Jesus name. Amen.
Praying In Jesus Christ Mighty Name that the spirit of alcohol be binded up in the name of Jesus, Gird yourself up in The LORD Praying for peace in your Walk With GOD 🙏 Blessings to you
God will give her the strength to be strong....We bind the demon spirits of drunkenness...to be released completely...in Jesus almighty name..amen and amen... ..

Jesus is Lord and God (John 20:28 NIV). Are names were not already written in the book of life because someones name being written in the book of life is their choice for it to be written. Are name is written in the book of life IF we CHOOSE to be a child of God and NOT REMAIN a sinner. Jesus DID NOT die for us to remain a sinner. Please read (John 8:11 NLT) and (John 5:14 NLT). Are name can be took out of the book of life if we go back to being a sinner and written back if we choose to be a child of God. Your either a Christian who's a sinner or a Christian who's a child of God choose. Heaven will be filled with children of God not sinners. All sinners will be cast into Hell. Please read (Revelation 20:15) for someone's name not to be found written that means it wasn't written or their name was written and it was took out. Then read (Matthew 7 21-23 esv). Many Christians will have their name NOT found written in the book of life. Jesus will say to them "DEPART FROM ME" because they are workers of lawlessness wich is SIN (1 John 3:4 esv) wich means they are sinners. Children of God are not workers of lawlessness read (1 john 3:9 GNT) that means children of God are not sinners. Christians who are Sinners will NOT be found written in the book of life only Christians who are children of God will be found written and only they will enter Heaven NOT Christians who are sinners.
Hallelujah my brother Jesus is Lord Hallelujah! 💙💪
@Mike Padios I pray you find the correct congregation bro. True Christianity is love initspurest form. We are called to love the world like Jesus did and a true Christian with the holy spirit does just that 💟🙏
Amen!!
@Andrew Simpson why hail satan when you can hail Jesus 😞 satan hates you amd wants you to die, suffer, and end up in hell but Jesus loves you and wants you to rejoice in heaven.
I heard years ago, God told me, "little is much." I'll never forget that. Now I know what that means. Thank you for that reminder.
The Lord rebuked me for being lukewarm this last week and I remembered it today and then I saw this video. Praise God in Jesus name.Amen

You challenge my faith in a positive way. In my heart I really want to share the gospel on the streets. These videos help me conquer my doubts and turn my eyes to our Lord ! One day I feel like God will use me for great things, in Jesus name. Thank you my friend, your words really open ours eyes and hearts 🙏❤
I was a filthy rotten sinner, now I am saved by Christs finished work on the cross.
God is still working in me to remove all the junk that I have filled my heart with when I was in the world.
I like this video
You cannot serve two masters and say " I am saved".
People forget about genuine repentant heart. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
Being overconfident is dangerous.
Serving God does not save you. Only believing in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross alone will save you.
You didn't understand my comment
@@mirkoboi May You please explain your comment then
If Holy spirit is in you he will convict you and keep you humbled and loving towards people around you.
Holy Spirit prepares you and changes you.
You start
- speak differently
- think differently
- react differently
There will be a sign of change in you.
Obviously no one is perfect but Pride, ego and ignorance is not a sign of the Holy spirit.
Jesus said Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father.
So if you say " God is in me"
Is there a sign of change in you ?
Or are you the same?
@@mirkoboi So I felt like u were gonna say that. So it looks like I did understand what your original comment was. However the people in Matthew 7 who will not enter the kingdom of Heaven that Jesus is referring to are people who are trusting in their WORKS AND SIGNS of having the Holy Spirit and not in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ ALONE
I am definitely a Luke warm Christian and I am suffering a lot , I don’t know how to hear god or how to do anything right , I’m really in a place of distress now , please pray for me I need a breakthrough
I am trying to stop being lukewarm.
Keep at it, me to... Hold on to Him everyday...
ryan Read John 17 God's Amazing Love! Take Care, B.

God is trying to stop you being lukewarm
Me too 😔
I absolutely love that you are not condescending at all towards people. That’s truly how Christians should act. These videos are so amazing and so calming despite their powerful messages. Your videos have helped me start praying everyday, and I’ve seen a change in my life. Thank you for these videos. God bless you.

You have a strange name sky dragon. Why that name?
@ Theresa Flynn, My name is Sky and when I was a kid I loved dragons and such because my dad did too. Thus Sky Dragon😂
@@5kydragon347 oh 😆
@ Theresa Flynn, It’s silly I know 😂
Never stop your evangelism. I love to listen to your TH-cam channel. How many others admit to their backsliding ways, just like I have done myself. You help strengthen me to get closer to our Lord. God Bless you.!
That’s why I don’t know if I’m ever going to make any new friends. I don’t want to go back to being a Lukewarm Christian because as soon as I let gossipers, worldly people be my friends, I get weak. I do struggle with certain sin still (mainly lying), but I’m not looking to wander back into being a Lukewarm Christian.
let's keep trying to learn through the teachings good ways to live, most of all trying to learn to be kind and understanding with others (if carefully at times in a dangerous and saddened world, Matthew 10:16)
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
(Micah 6:8) (Psalm 37:11) (Luke 6:35 - 36)
Ask God to lead you into a church, he supplies everything we need. Delight yourself in the lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. God bless! Spread the good news!
Sometimes being alone with God is enough
@@john-ni3pi I wish that were true but it’s not. Our God is a relational God and He desires for us to be with others. When He created the world and man, the only thing He said that was not good was for man to be alone. When we are alone we are more susceptible to the enemy’s lies
No sin is worse than any others right? I think God judges all sins equally. Since we are all rotten sinners, it’s safe to say none of us are “above” or “better sinners” than others. You shouldn’t not be friends with people just because they sin- it’s kind of hypocritical bc if everyone didn’t want to be friends with sinners we’d all be alone. So, i think the point I’m trying to make is don’t end a good friendship just because your friend is a sinner, because we all are.
I pray to Lord God, cleanse me with your blood along with anyone reading this that we may depart from any sin or association with sin, please cut off any ties with any sin and friendship or tolerance with it. Help us run far from it and closer to you Lord. correct us, discipline us and lead us into your love again. Help us God because we NEED you. I love you and want to show it in my actions, not just with my lips but with my HEART. Please lord, I beg, save us. In Jesus' name Amen.
Amen from Germany

I love the father and I am thankful everyday . Thank you for your beautiful words and encouragement
Its Controversial but it has to be pointed out
Amen!
The love of the Truth!
I'm really growing spiritually from these videos. Thank you Jesus. So needed to hear this.
I can always count on God using Joe to minister to me in so many different ways. I am growing too.
I’m a filthy, rotten sinner, too! But I’m a forgiven, dirty, rotten, sinner, who has been born from above by the Holy Spirit. My heart’s been changed by the horrible things I’ve been through in life and I can see how God used these things to give me wisdom and strength and bring me into a true relationship with Him. I praise God for all He has done for me and Jesus for His great Sacrifice to save my soul! The peace and joy God has given me truly is beyond understanding! Thanks, Joe!
This really convicted me because I have been struggling with sexual immorality and your right I’ve been miserable and just depressed with myself and I Thank You for telling me to be holy and warning me of my actions

we are all struggling but remember salvation is a gift we cant earn that if you are saved thats it we should grow i have the same problem as you sexuall immorality
@@shurdalife1793 me as well
Repeat scriptures in your head or keep your hands/ your mind busy and focused on something else e.g. reading the bible.
You can also pray the moment you feel like you’re about to fall into temptation.
One thing that really helped me too was to remember the feeling I had once I committed the sin ( I usually felt ashamed and I was to embarrassed to cry out to God). You have to think long-term what will this sin bring you ? It can’t satisfy you the way God can so is it worth it ?
I know it’s hard, sometimes I still get tempted at times too but don’t be discouraged and don’t give up. God is with you all the time.
“You know why.” Love, God
You have a good, gentle heart brother. and I recieve what you say> amen.

The discipline of the Lord - I've been disciplined by the Lord multiple times- but I am thankful for a loving father who won't let me stay off track.
What’s an example?
@@AngelicaMop34 when I was committing sexual immorality at the age of 27, I contracted mumps despite having the vaccine as a child. Earlier, my girlfriend contracted a cyst on a certain area. God will chasten you. With me He has used disease. I knew Why He did it each time.
This speaks to me greatly, sir. I used to be bullied and beaten in youth, by so many, I gloried in my curiousity, and so many teased, then beat then targeted me in cruelty for so many years, Sometmes,i thought it would be best to just disappear someway... but always found strength to deal with it, to carry on.... throughout life. i used to walk on my weekend off of family work to go fishing, and at sunset, shook my fist at the sky, and talked and talked, ..... and shared..... and thought.... and wondered, and hoped for His word, but over life....i heard it, like a subliminal voice in my head, when I thought of some things,i knew the answer, when i desperately needed help wheni just couldnt do 'it' anymore, strangers or circumstances would intervene and save me...God does speak to you, in many ways, through many people, and their minds. therefor i must thank you today, i love you. for your discussions here
I'm struggling with slight laziness and more so pending my time wisely (focusing more on Jesus Christ) I ask that someone would pray for me that myself and others will come to know Christ so that we all may have an unbreakable bonded relationship that will never be shaken by what we think is acceptable
Dear God I lift up J before you tonight. First and foremost may you forgive us of our sins. We thank you so much for all that you have done for us. May you help us to put you first. May nothing in this physical world mean more to us than you. May our hearts seek you earnestly as you have done unto us. May you bless J with strength, motivation, inspiration, purpose, favor, wisdom, guidance, protection, provision, forgiveness, peace, joy,restoration, healing, deliverance, closure, victory, freedom, intervention, discernment, salvation, and passion for the things of Jesus Christ and your heavenly will for his life. May you please open doors of opportunity for him and surround him with your presence. May we not remain lukewarm if we are. May he and the rest of the people who have seen this video know undoubtedly that it is you who has answered him. In Jesus name Amen.
Don't worry God will give you his grace and I will pray for you
That’s amazing! When I was in my darkest moments, suffering severe depression because I was feeling sorry for myself because of what my life had become, not accepting that it was all my doing. God said three words to me too, He said “Don’t cry wolf” in an instant I knew what he meant and from that moment on I took responsibility for my life, for my sins, confessed my sins and gave my life to Him.

@@dalmatiansausage6603 thank you for your comment but you are misunderstanding what those words meant to me, compared to the meaning of the words you have mentioned. They are two different things. I know for sure that I am not decieved because I know that I was wretched man. An adulterer addicted to drugs and sex. But after my encounter I have now been born again and my life of sin is now a life of service to God. My heart has been completely changed, I am cleansed from those addictions and I now keep Gods commandments. I love Him with all my heart, mind and soul and I help others in need by working for charities and donating money to people in need. So there is no deception here, just the truth that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and God our father chose to have mercy on this sinner and save my soul. God bless and I also wish you all the best!

Hey Diamond, keep reading the Bible. It is hard ... I'd talk with you if I could. You're in my prayers.
A key thing here is 'worth.'
-Is eternal life worth it?
-Are eternal rewards worth it?
I suppose they are.
-Is Christ worth it?
Oh, yes He is!
Do you know something: the word 'worship' comes from an older form: 'worthship', seemingly meaning to ascribe or recognize worth in something.
There is no ultimate satisfaction in this world. You only find that in the ultimate Being, God.
There is no way we can make Him owe us.
But He loves us: and sent His Son to die for our sins - to pay the wages of sin on the cross, and bear the righteous justice - the wrath - of God in our place.
The ultimate Being, Creator of our world and us: do you think He knows what He's doing when He commands you to do something? Do you think His commands come from a place of love?
---
So, in your life, what's worth it?
What is worth placing over Him?
Time and again I think you'll find two things:
-Sin never is worth it
-Jesus always is
In Romans 12, Paul writes of not being conformed to this world, but rather 'be transformed by the renewing of your mind':
-Recognizing what is true, not merely acting by feelings
-Renewing your mind (ongoing action, not a one&done deal) in the truth
Ray Comfort put it well, I think:
When's the last time you ate?
When's the last time you read your Bible?

I do not want to rebel but it is so easy to do it. Thank you for your love and messages, I feel like crying in repentance hearing your message of love. The love of God is.
Please pray for me. I’m sick of my wife. Please help me in prayer to keep my mouth shut and bite my tongue while I go through my struggles with my wife. I don’t want to harm her verbally.
Please...Words have power. Our Lord created the entire universe and everything in it just by speaking. As long as you continue to say "I'm sick of my wife", you will continue to feel this way. And biting your tongue will only help the hurt and resentment to fester and grow.
Instead, please pray something like this every day. And even MANY TIMES each day:
"Lord Jesus, Please help me love my wife again. Help me to see the good things I used to see in her that made me want to marry her above all others. Help me to act lovingly to her. Bless both of us and heal our marriage, Lord. I know that all things are possible to those who believe on you, and I know you can take bad situations and turn them around for the Glory of God. Please Lord Jesus...heal both of us and our marriage for the Glory of God. Thank you, Lord Jesus."
Praying for you and your wife.
God Bless!
I will uphold you in ma prayer that God will once again make your relationship healthy...To fall in love again with her.....In Jesus name all the hatred will be gone away...and God will again touch your stony heart to understand the love that you once were in...Amen...For God is love...
Praying brother
Okay, I prayed for you!!!
I hope God helps you, if you have faith you will change. We will pray for you, but you have to pray for yourself too. I don’t know nothing about love or marriage because well im still young. But what I have seen in my parents is that when they have trouble they work it out, TOGETHER. Pray with her, pray together, grab her hand and sit down and start praying. Tell God that whatever demon is tormenting you in your marriage, to take them away, pray to God to make your marriage stronger than ever, ask God to make you and your wife love again. And remember pray together, hold her hand and start praying. I hope it’s not to late! Wishing you the best in your marriage! Amen
Last night I cried out to God and I ask him for forgiveness I was in tears crying out to God😢🙏🏻❤️
When i share the word i feel a weight lifting i feel like i growing closer to God😊🥰

Great video!!
He doesn't care about the video he cares wether we go to hell or not
To example what Hot Lukewarm and cold are
Hot is saved and does the job of evangelizing
Lukewarm is unsaved because it has lacking and unbeleiving hearts
Cold is saved which is making deciples with other saved Christians
What everybody gets wrong with lukewarm and cold including Joe is that they think lukewarm is a mix of hot and cold like hot is holy and cold is sinful. If you think that then why does Jesus perfer cold over lukewarm plus it contradicts the fact God has no desire that anyone should perish.
You either be his hot spring or his drink of refreshing water, lukewarm does not work on either springs nor drinks
Wow, this really hit my heart, thank you for this.
I needed this.
Joe you have been a huge blessing to me. I feel a very real connection to you all the way across the pond. I certainly appreciate all your messages even the tough ones. You are doing great work for the Lord !!!
yes, Lord.. teach thy servant to know your ways.. teach me to love like you.. teach me to live like you.. help me to obey like you obeyed..
The LORD is using you in a great way. Every video has been a real blessing to my life. God bless you Joe 🙏🙏🙏
I have been lukewarm. I was walking so faithfully after my break up for a whole year and then found myself falling back into the same pattern.
But, I don't enjoy it afterwards. There's this horrid wave of depression and guilt afterwards that wasn't there before.
Please pray for me to overcome this battle. God bless you for this channel. It has helped me monumentally.
I am a Luke warm Christian. I go to church, I've memorized the beatitudes, I say the right things. But I commit awful sin every day. I pray ask for forgiveness for the sin, but I commit the same sins the following day or that night. its getting to the Point where I'm starting not to feel that sorry. And that terrifies me. There's even a part of me now telling me to stop typing this and that its a waste of time. But your video is showing me that what I'm doing is completely wrong everything about how I'm going about it. I thank you so much! I feel that God has brought me to your video and its a blessing. All I can say is thank you, and praise God.
I quit coffee two months ago ☺️ I asked the Lord if I should quit my coffee habit and the next day I quit.... thank you God 🙌🏻 the blessing In corona is that it’s brought me closer to God
I've been feeling that way over soda!
@@Psalm2710_ Thanks! I may actually do that. I really do think, however, that it is the carbonation I'm loving!
What ? Can’t even drink coffee now because it’s a sin ?
@@chickenlicks22 Lol no it's not a sin don't worry. But too much of everything is bad for u
@@xxxpinkypiexxx4819 yeah

**OH...THANK YOU!! HEAVENLY FATHER GOD!! FOR THIS "BEAUTIFUL" "POWERFUL" "TRUTHFUL" MESSAGE!! I LOVE YOU!!
These types of messages used to be the norm when I was growing up. Sadly they are very rare nowadays.
Nowadays it's all about prosperity, destiny and 💰
As a lukewarm I have not been able to enjoy christ... But I haven't been also able to enjoy my sin because of guilt... And this message said that out loud for me... May GOD bless you more
Praying for you all please pray for me and my family we’re going threw a difficult time and trying to keep faith and still give praise
I’m not a full Christian but when I listen to you I feel warm. Praise the lord
Tristian what's holding you back sir?
"If you obey the message of the Lord, you will be happy"
True!
Amen!!
I am so confused. Am I a lukewarm Christian? I dont read my bible anymore...I pray every night and every morning and thank him for everything in my life and I ask for forgiveness after sinning. My life outside is I'm trying to keep myself for marriage. A childhood friend of mine tried to influence me to have sex with her (friends with benefits) but I nicely said na that's not for me.
My work place is filled with perverted talkers and people who get angry easily. I keep my kool and dont reply when they disrespect me. Please I'm confused...im always conscious of what I say and do around others. Am I doing good or do I need to od better?😔
It sounds as though you are trying to live a Christian life without reading God's Word. No wonder you feel confused with everything around you. Your spirit can't grow in wisdom and strength if you don't feed it, my brother in Christ.
Please...start reading!
God Bless! :)
@@MJkatzTheWriter thanks man. I really should begin reading and studying my bible
I forgot how powerful this video was. I have it saved on a playlist and have listened again.
Wow
Thank you so much!! When you said "Holiness=Happiness" that hit me so bad :( I feel sad most of the time. It's because I do not obey God most of time. I read the Bible but I don't pray that much. Now I know.. Obedience to God is the answer.. Obeying God will bring back the joy in my life. God is truly speaking through you. Please keep making videos, it is very encouraging and helping people back to God.
Some strong messages made in love on Lukewarm Christianity: th-cam.com/video/9MkmIb3oGQc/w-d-xo.html
How do I not be lukewarmed
@@Mimi.Talkss pray to God to seek his way and the wisdom of God
Have you thought about moving to tik tok
I luv to see you expand your ministry
Pastor Joe....I need your help...you were talking about me...I am that lukewarm christian
You really are a messenger from God. God bless you and pray for me
I've been struggling with Christianity and I'm 17. These videos remind me of what I believe and love,Jesus christ. Being a teenager and trying to not fall into earthly desires,is hard but these videos are very helpful.
It's hard to not do the sins of the flesh. At least you are aware and follow God's path.
Never clicked on a notification so fast to this chańnel loves your chańnel
Lol
Love you brother Ryan!
I'm a filthy rotten sinner. Praise be to the Lord for giving me His righteousness through my belief in Him. I can't explain it, but I know it. I will Praise the Lord forever for his showing his Mercy & Grace to this undeserving sinner.
It's not controversial, it's the most needed message by many, as I was at that stage back then.
I'm glad to know you went through it and came out of it. That gives me renewed hope as I'm dealing with things.
