- How well do you see spiritually? or in other words, are your eyes fixed on God? Are you truly devoted to him? To test your spiritual vision you must look at your heart’ devotion by asking yourself, “what takes up most of my thoughts?” To help us see God more clearly, Alex will be preaching about vision, as we continue our series in Matthew 6;22-24 CSB.

Be thou my vision o Lord of my heart 😌
Amen
it's perfection and that i dont deserve anything
Earthly wants take up most of my thoughts. But I know and believe that Jesus will direct my heart to him. To obey him and do his will. God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Christ in health, wealth, and love. 😇🙏🏻❤️
God spoke directly to me through this message. I moved to a very simple town in the beginning of the year for my last year of medical school and there’s been lots of amenities I simply don’t have access to. Currently I’ve been struggling with my eyesight and the only town with an ophthalmologist is a half hour drive from here which is a little troublesome. I was being tempted to complain and even get mad at being here in this place I never wanted to be in just to be able to graduate but I realized that my physical vision was just as cloudy as my spiritual one. These times way be difficult and my thoughts may be caught up with the hardships but this is an amazing opportunity to love Him and trust and smile and help despite my own shortcomings and needs amen
Beautiful ❤ I love this.
Mine is worry and loneliness I love that I’ve been practicing enslaving my thoughts through Christ. I turn those thoughts back to God sometimes they chase me but I keep turning them over and over to him while remembering how he has delivered me through in the past.
Theirs Gods voice and the enemy’s voice. Your doing the perfect thing right now, his voice will become more clear as you continue in your walk. some verses to meditate on to help (Philippians 4:7) (2Timothy1:7KJV) (Romans5:3-5)
Prayers from Texas 🤠✝️🙏🏽
Remind the devil he doesn't have mich time (revelation 12:12
Worry worry worry. Almost every second of the day. About every and anything on really bad days. Even ridiculous things. Thank you God for helping me and I know you’ll deliver us
Doing the right thing.
Ive been worrying about doing whats right so much recently that I end up not actually doing the right thing. im a perfectionist, And I will ask God for help to stop being one
God will help you my dear, I also feel the same way every now and then, I'm so indecisive and I end up making the wrong decisions most occasion
I struggle with perfectionism too, and God’s helped me and continues to help me with it. So don’t worry! He will help you too.
I feel this! I too also worry about doing the right thing but I also need to understand to be still and not be rushed I'm uncertain about MANY things but God has plans for my life and in which I need to just really focus on being in his word daily and in prayer daily :)
Amen, thank you for this praise Jesus. I need to let my worry go and take my thoughts captive.
For me I think what takes up my time is doubt. Because of doubt it leads me to thinking what if God can’t use me, I’m not qualified,etc. which leads me to distraction and wandering away from God’s presence. And it makes my vision dim. But I can trust that God is growing me back in His word, that I can hope in proverbs3:5-6 which is my favorite verse. So doubt is definitely a struggle for me.
John 9:5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Mine is also worry and intrusive thoughts. I want to give all my thoughts to God because when I let it simmer, I feel guilty about the things I've thought of.
Imagination feeds most of my thoughts. It hurts my vision because I form walls in my mind over sin and my following of Jesus. I’m often enslaved by my imagination and my own (not the Holy Spirit’s) conviction which really turns into condemnation of myself. So, when I look at how Jesus took this heavy and thick darkness off of me by taking a worse one on the cross, I get a new freedom.
impatience occupies most of my thoughts. I always tell God I trust in him and surrender to his plans, but with scenarios that are often wrong I open my own world. God already freed me from shifting 1 year ago and I'm no longer a slave to my thoughts, but sometimes being impatient takes me away from God and his will. But the urge to do God's will is greater than any of my desires. And God is the one I trust not my way but his ❤

Amen 😊
I also worry. Thank you both, for giving us some wise words to live by. God is so good when we ask for his help, He sets His plan in motion and provides us with what we need. It usually blows my mind.
Thank you Jesus! Thank you Amen Podcast!! God Bless!!
This Matthew series is soooo timely!! Even listening now how God is leading me to each podcast is sooo intentional!! Thank you for being obedient because these podcasts are truly a blessing. What I enjoy the most is that you all purely speak about Christ and the bible. Many other podcasts while they still speak on Christ, there are worldly issues touched upon, social media this or that. But your podcasts brings me far away from the the world. I feel like I'm in a spiritual bubble drenched in Christ and solely drawing closer to him and I love that! Hope that makes sense!😅Your podcast strengthens and challenges me sooo much! Appreciate you guys and praying for you!❤️❤️🤗🤗🙏🏾
My thoughts are perfectionism. If I’m being a good dad, reflecting on past decisions, worrying about the future and present situation. It’s a good scripture to remember to take our thoughts captive, that is something I need to work on as well. Loved this message you guys !
Powerful episode. Blessings.
Wow. So timely. Thank you for sharing. Glory to God
you know, to be honest what takes up? Most of my thought is making sure everything is perfect. Sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough to be saved or I’m not who I’m supposed to be or I’m a mistake or God shouldn’t of chosen me and it’s hard to see with spiritual eyes when, as a teenager all around me is evil lust and sin and the world beats you down so much you can be so hard to look up and see God, but this is where my faith and devotion comes in because Alex as God said through you, the more devoted I am the more clearly I will see at the end of the day I have to know. To be still and know that He is God and I am not.
John 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Be bessed and love u.
I love you guys! ❤ Glory be to God Almighty! Another great video!
I’ve been watching y’all since I got saved around a year and a half ago and the Lord uses y’all so intentionally and seeing this sort of genuine and honest preaching and simple example of life is so beyond encouraging! I thank God for all that He has done in you 🤍
Recently I would say my thoughts are constantly only about Jesus but I find struggle in when I’m not thinking. When I aimlessly scroll on my phone and nothing’s running through my head, that’s where the darkness comes from but when my vision is clear and set on Christ, I feel the light and am truly so awake. Definitely something I need deliverance from.
Alot of things take up my thoughts. mostlyt worry, stress, denial, family ect..
That was wonderful! Thank you both and thank you lord for giving them the ability to preach your word to us. Blessings to everyone 🙏🏾 ♥ 💪🏾
Fear takes up a lot of my mind, too, Lokelani. I can be be more devoted to GOD by surrendering this fear and praying for boldness. You guys help me more than you know. Also, I just got LASIK surgery so the title and topic are pretty timely lol
God's timing is perfect my brother
It has been on my heart to move to maui. I finally saw jesus a month ago after going through deliverance, and I stumbled on your podcast. LIke I have been doing all the things but it was blocked by god because he knew my heart for him, but I was serving another master. Thank you guys for being so put together in the ways you are. It really fills my heart about marriage, a mission driving marriage no less. So wholesome!
Blessings from Russia, I've been listening to your podcasts since a long time, always inspiring and helps to grow spiritually. Glory to God for your family and service you do 🙏
What takes up most of my thoughts is gaming and the flash, when i should really be focusing on christ. Can someone in the chat pls pray so i can focus more on christ and less on worldly things
Fellow gamer here😁 I’d like to share a step I take to refocus on Christ. I try to play video games on weekends only, and currently at least, I don’t have as strong an urge to play for as long as I would. When I first implemented this, I would devote the WHOLE weekend to games, when EACH day should be devoted to Christ instead of my own desires. Still working on my own discipline, but I hope this helps💜
Praying for you right now.
@@satiricalsenju2159yea Im in School I have been playing every night but I gotta stop that and so I wanna take in ur style yk only on the days I don't have school yk because man I do get sucked into gaming
@@msnettyjo16 Thank you😌💜
@@antoniorobinson2793 We got this🫡💜
Wow really really powerful. Thank you.
skating has been taking up my thoughts lately; working on a video, trying to be productive. yet for the past couple of days, i’ve founded myself in such darkness. making this episode hit me hard. being targeted so hard by the evil one, not feeling forgiven; tempted not to read or pray. waking up this morning, feeling down. but as i’m facing this, i need to see the darkness that Jesus faced on the cross. constantly looking at Him, to let GOD fill my thoughts instead; keeping Him first.
My thoughts of a godly relationship with a man and how my sister and i could switch places, and so much more but those are the two main ones. Amen!!
❤️ 🙏🏻
Amen!
amen!! sooo powerful. something that takes up most of my thoughts is worrying and intrusive thoughts. i tend to worry about a lot of things instead of giving them to God. i also have problems with my intrusive thoughts and controlling them.
Amen, very well spoken. God definitely spoke to me though you guys today! Love your videos and family, very beautiful. But to answer the question it would be worry and anxiety. Worrying that I’m not being a good enough for God, worrying that I could be better, letting anxiety control me, and ect. But in the end I just remind myself that I was never good enough, that’s why Christ came!! So that I could be make perfect through him. And how crazy and reassuring that is!
Right before starting the video I thought about my problem and the thought came "I just need to fix my eyes on Jesus." and you guys started with a similar line wow shocked in a good way Thank You Lord for these beautiful souls, for spreading Your message and Thank You for letting me hear it, bless this beautiful family and change and heal souls with this message Lord, I prayed in Jesus' name, Amin 🙏
thank you God for this message, for this family. He spoke to me through you. God bless and protect you, lots of love😊
I come all the way from Croatia and I absolutly love your podcast and youtube channel. Keep doing it❤️❤️
Amen thks ❤😊
Worry and anxiety about my future and my decisions.
What takes up most of my thoughts is my sin and myself… If I was asked this question a few months ago it would have been a completely different answer, but lately it’s been hard for me to stay close to my Lord. My vision has been dark because I’ve allowed myself to go back to what I prayed myself out of.. I honestly need to sit at His feet again… 😔
Lord i pray that you help this persons heart be devoted to you to see You in a whole new lights and for you to restore and redeem them. Amen.
@@lizzioswag747 thank you so much for your prayers ♥️🙏
❤
What takes up my thoughts is worrying if I should leave my job or stay. And worrying if I do leave I won’t have income coming in for a while and not knowing where else I want to work.
AMAZING PODCAST! took sooooooo many notes in this one video alone! HOW AWESOME! :) I love you guys! have a wonderful day/night! whenever you see this! (If you ever do hahahah)
Worry, my purpose and calling and earthly things take up most of mine as well. Thank you both so much for this! My husband and I love your podcast ❤
What takes up most of my thoughts..
"Worry" just as you guys both.
I'm a young man from San Diego, just finished my second semester in college majoring in aviation maintenance technology. And this second semester, I had the most worry in my life, due to a family incident that happened, also keeping up with my grades, and work. I'm the type of person who is always thinking 24/7 about different things at once lol, and having this weight and pressure on my shoulders that I kind of put on myself because I want the best for my family and my future. I always ask the lord for help and guidance through prayer and reading the Bible, for instance when Jesus said in Matthew ch. 6 verse 34 "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Todays trouble is enough for today." I try my best to listen and go by that but its one thing that is a battle for me, and sometimes I feel like I'm not doing what God says to do and it hurts.... things have gotten better for me thanks to God, and I know I will face situations like this in the future throughout life, but i know i will be stronger and have more faith in him if i just keep looking to Christ. Thank you guys for this video, especially for this question. God bless you all.
Mine is worrying about my future in a sense of I know what I want to do with my future, (college football commentator) but I don't know if it's God's will, and if I should pursue it if it's God's will or not pursue it because it is not His will. Hope this makes sense. Any suggestions, Alex, or Lokelani?
So good!! 🙌🏾
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) Since all have stolen, lied, lusted, used the Lord’s name in vain we deserve ALL Hell, But there is Good news! Jesus took the punishment we deserve on the cross he was whipped, mocked, spat on, he even had a crown of throne placed on his head all while being nailed to the cross by his hands and feet all so you might accept him and have eternal life. If you want to accept Jesus cry out to him and repent from your sins get into a good bible based church and read the bible every day to learn more about Jesus. and just know if you reject this message and on Judgement day you stand before God and he says: “you worker of Inequity! Depart from me, for I never knew you.” (Matthew 7:23) You’ll be in Hell remembering this comment wishing you took it seriously. On the flip side if you chose to fallow him on judgement day he will smile and say: “Well done my good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21) and he will welcome you into to Heaven where all it will be better than we can imagine. This is the most loving Comment you will ever read. God Bless you weather you accept or reject this message ❤.
Amen, thanks for this
God and doubt get to my head in conflict, possibly like The Holy spirt and flesh
Can i be deliver from constipation pain please pray for me please ❤❤
The ‘if your eye is good or if your eye is bad’ part of this verse is a Jewish euphemism, in Hebrew, for being generous (good eye) or stingy and greedy (bad eye) :) just a tidbit i recently discovered is interesting.
Hey Alex! I love listen to your sermons, I’ve been listening for 2 years now. May I suggest a study for yourself, and that I will do as well. My brother and I found that what Jesus was doing on the cross was actually quoting scripture: psalms 22 - my God my God, why have you forsaken me -
Revenge. I hate to admit it. I accepted Christ as my personal savior when my white childhood playmate, 11 years old, bullied me into believing that this was the only way that I could avoid hell and possibly continue playing with her at her Mother's insistence. It was a warm summer day, Sept 9, 1984. She proceeded to put her face to the ground on a brown patch of dirt and call to the souls already there in hell and teasing them with offers of cups of water. I was so scared but eager to believe in a God that would redeem me, keep me out of hell if I obeyed Him and make me lovable to my family, neighbors, and schoolmates at my predominantly white elementary school (in a town 25 minutes away, in a predominantly white area as well). I thought He was a God that would avenge me, a child growing up in a fatherless home, and restore me I guess, in a similar way like the political zealots in Jesus' time hoped the promised Messiah would free God's people from Roman rule. Up to that point, I had been molested and sexually abused since 3 years old by older family, babysitters, & other childhood playmates, etc. so I was excited to learn that God cared about justice. For the next year, this same playmate experienced puberty and also molested me for her pleasure, as well, until the Lord intervened in a surprising way---her Mom had a nervous breakdown and her father who had remarried got custody. She moved away when I turned 11 and the abuse stopped but when she came to town, she always looked for me until she lost interest in controlling me. I wrongly believed her attention was normal. Fast forward, and I am listening to a broadcast about vision. Its 2023, I am alone, never married, no children, estranged from my family, and unemployed with debt. She became a successful retail store manager as her Mom told me, before her 20s, and is a grandmother these days. Her Mom remarried a great Christian man whom I met after her health was restored. I question God, what the meaning of life and justice is, besides vision. My wish as a kid was that God would make me better and prove my love and worthiness. Selfish yes because I know now salvation then sanctification is about growing to be like Him and living for the Kingdom. Only God knows man's heart. I know mine is broken.
Hey guys is anyone know anbeats producer lmk, Im a Christian rapper who needs beats lmk, thanks.
Amen
