If you ever find a need to share my channel Bible by Chapter, here it is. I was saved earlier this year and have been compelled to create the videos as I read the gospel myself. Blessings to you. www.youtube.com/@BiblebyChapter-pj6ss/videos
Blessings and protection and thanks for your channel to continue to thrive during 2024 🙏🏿☺️ What a fabulous first testimony off the year with Mr Ray Comfort , all glory to God .God bless , from Jess in and from the UK 🇬🇧🙏🏿😊
Do remember me (Shaji Chacko) in your prayers I do need brand new soul which may not lust after sin. I want tobe saved by Creator, Preserver, Destroyer. I have been listening many christian youtubers, radio programs almost 33 years. 🙏Thanks 🙏
I met this man at the Huntington Beach pier a few years after I came to Christ. He’s so warm and friendly, he has a pocket full of goofy tricks and joke items just to make people laugh. I pray that i become as gentle, loving, and bold about Jesus as Ray is!
This is Ray Comfort teaching a works based gospel: th-cam.com/video/ssM-FXpIJfw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YjkwJ6hD1tC0kHJP He says you must turn from sin to be saved. We are saved by grace through faith alone. Not of our works. Baptism won’t save you. We all sin everyday in word thought or deed. If we have to stop sinning after being saved, we would all not make it. I’m not promoting sin or saying you have a license to sin. Becoming more Christ like and doing good works is for Discipleship NOT for salvation. Your works or lifestyle do not prove your saved. Judas was a disciple but never believed, Judas even repented after selling Jesus out. He went to Hell. So stop with the lies. The only condition for salvation is faith in Jesus to save you. Repentance is a change of mind, nothing more. We repent when we stop trusting in anything but Jesus to save us.
@@CovelioRay preaches the truth. He presents the 10 commandments as a mirror not as a list to be perfect.. he presents the 10 commandment first so that we know we’re “sick” so he can clearly give us the cure which is Jesus. A person who doesn’t see the need for Jesus will not follow Jesus.. He goes on to say that Jesus paid the fine for all of our sins.. but do we continue to deliberately sin against God just because He’s already forgiven us and died for us?? No.. Ray is saying we have to trust Jesus like we trust a parachute in everything we do, he clearly explains that we can’t do it alone and we have to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us. To admit that we need Jesus in our daily lives, literally every moment of our lives.
I was 19 years old and took my second lsd. We were on a road trip and I started getting pain in my stomach. A voice came to me and said "If you walk this way, you won't see God". I don't come from any Christian background, and I wasn't born again until 11 years later. But I never touched an lsd again. Thank you very much for your honest testimony. You and I were very lucky!
i can say im 65 and i guess just lucky i took lsd and mushrooms many times never had a bad trip always had a great time and i just know i could play the guitar like a pro when i was tripping i alway took 2 every time usely i would drop one under my tougue and when i started to feel that one i would take another one i must say i love it but like i said never had a bad trip and always felt closer to jesus
Feeling close and being close are NOT the same thing. Satan and His servants masquerade as angels of light, and make people who are close to them feel REALLY good.
Ray Comfort is a fearless man of God. I used to see him in my city park riding his bike with his dog and his sunglasses. He approached me one day as I was getting some exercise and I said hey I know who you are Mr. Comfort, and I am a Believer too. He was nice and relatable, he even gave me a Subway gift card. I wish I could have just one iota of his evangelizing skills.
Michaelarmenta8289. ~ If you really want to be evangelizing. =. DO IT ! Ray has lots of videos of fantastic ways to reach lost souls! AND the Word of God does give many examples of how to 'win' souls and. get them 'off' the road to hell !!! It sure is VERY rewarding = especially for those who get saved ! God tells us throughout the scriptures to 'go into all the world and preach the Gospel..." We'll soon be 'out' of this world & you may be asked. "WHY didn't you?"
What I like about Ray is that he is not ashamed of the Gospel! I also want to become as brave as him and speak of Jesus and His dying for our sins in our place. I am not ashamed of the Gospel!
And you can! I feel the same way. It’s going to take faith, love, and hard work as we go out and evangelize. It’s not described as an easy thing, it’s hard every time. Even Paul the apostle asked several churches for prayer that he may have the boldness and words to preach the gospel to others. And Ray Comfort has expressed how he has felt nervous before every evangelizing experience but goes through with it because of one main thing: love for that sinner who is on their way to Hell. Ray says, “the point is not to remove the fear. It is to have love greater than your fear.” It’s a matter of denying yourself and putting all you have into following Jesus as we go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15). I hope this encourages you. You are not alone. God can provide you opportunities to evangelize; all you need to do is ask :) God has blessed me with evangelizing opportunities when I’ve felt so nervous and asked Him for help, and He continues to help me grow my love for others and become braver. He can do the same for you. And remember this: The little that we give God, He can multiply in His hands🙌. Just like Jesus did with the 3 loaves and 2 fishes to feed the 5,000. Peace be with you❤️.
I'm now 29. I've been following Ray's ministry since I was 15. How time flies! Ray has a divinely given gift; there's no doubt about that. Intelligent, Courageous, Compassionate, Humble, Eloquent, Masterful Storyteller, Captivating and Faithful. God Bless You, Ray.
My youngest son Tony invited me many years ago (20+ years) to go with him to meet up with Ray Comfort & his special group of men including Kirk Cameron who was sharing the Gospel with those people not far from t the pier of Santa Monica! WOW! I was thrilled to be there watching Kirk gently sharing a few different pamphlets and very creative; as usual on or off the main streets nearby the Santa Monica Pier!!! I was the elder of the group obviously but all there were respectful. Praise God! 😅 The small group we were with moved to the pier to initially watch & listen to Ray speak with those those who hesitated to listen to him then answer questions that Ray would begin to ask. A cameraman was running the video as he spoke with different folks to get their responses to Ray’s sharing the Gospel . I’ll never forget that initial meeting with Ray & his team! My son, Tony lately was hired to be one of Ray’s IT engineers part time because of his God given abilities! Thank God! PS I’ve been blessed to see & meet with Ray & his team a few times over these many years. ♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️ Elizabeth Ramsay-Wilt😊😎
@@elizabethramsay-wilt7995 The shocking truth is that Jesus will not save you. That’s right! Jesus will not save you, or anyone else, and here’s why, and to help you realize this, consider the following facts: Sin has separated you from God, the Father, the life-giving Spirit, and you have no access to His Holy Spirit while you are burdened and covered with sin. Without God, the life-giving Spirit, you will die without any hope of redemption and eternal life. You were born into a world of good and evil due to the fall of Adam, your original father, and the father of all mankind, and also due to your sins, God is far from you, and He will not redeem you. We, who are separated from God, and separated from the giver of life, which is why our lives end. Without righteousness, you have no access to God, the Father. To establish righteousness, God’s law was revealed to us, which can lead to righteousness, however, you, and everyone else on the planet, fell short of obeying the law of God, and now the law condemns you, and everyone, as all have fallen short of righteousness. But here is the good news, of ‘the Gospel,’ “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’” (John 3:16-18). What is His name? What is the revealed name of the Savior, the only begotten Son of God? In Matthew 1:21, the angel commanded Joseph, a descendant of king David and betrothed husband of Mary, to give the newly born Savior, the only begotten of God the Father, the virgin-born Son of God, a specific name. But, did the angel give the name of “Jesus”? And this begs the question, can we change the name of salvation revealed from Heaven? The shocking fact is that the name “Jesus” has only existed since the 17th century CE! Before the name Jesus (gee-sus) existed, it was Iesus (ee-sus), as found in the Bible, the King James Version of the year 1611 CE. Iesus transformed from the name Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Will God honor belief in a name (Jesus) he never revealed as the name of salvation? If we chose Jesus, as the name of salvation, a name that came into being through linguistic evolution, are not the names Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, counterfeits? The angel did not speak to Joseph in English (Jesus), Latin (Iesus), or in Greek (Iesous). Why is this even an issue? The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). This excludes any other name, or names, not revealed from Heaven! The name “Jesus” is there in the New Testament, and if it did not get there by the revelation of God, then why is it in the Bible? It was authorized by the traditions of men and not the revelation of God. That would make the name Jesus a counterfeit name, and therefore, not honored by God. Now what do we do? We failed the requirements of the Law, which if obeyed afforded us righteousness and acceptance to God the Father, and therefore eternal life, and we do not have the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved! And God never revealed the names of Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous, so what is the revealed name of salvation? So what do we do? We must find the name of our salvation in the Word of God, and not according to the tongue of man! Let’s start, with a man by the name of Saul, a Jewish religious leader, who was commissioned to go to Damascus to arrest and prosecute Jewish believers in Christ. Later he gives this testimony of his journey to king Agrippa, “While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am YAHSHUA, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 26:12-15). We know that Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous are not Hebrew names, therefore, Christ did not reveal those names. Did Saul, who now is an Apostle, who afterwards went by the name of Paul, and who was sent by Christ to preach the Gospel of Christ, actually hear the name “YAHSHUA”? This is a very unique name, and it would likely be considered a philological impossibility by linguistics today. But notice, that the name YAHSHUA has the prefix of YAH. What does prefix mean? A prefix can be a letter or group of letters that may be added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning. Shua means “my help”, as in “salvation.” Therefore Shua is modified by YAH, and literally means, “I AM Salvation.” YAH is part of the true name of God, and we praise this name by saying, “Halleluyah,” which means “Praise YAH!” The meaning of YAH is “I AM.” Many believe the name of the God of the Bible to be YAHWEH. YAH is “I AM”, but “weh”, who knows? Where did we get the name YAH? Short answer, the name YAH was revealed to Moses. “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM” [that is: “HaYAH Ashar HaYAH,” HaYAH means “the I AM”] And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM [YAH] has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:13-14). YAH is “the name which is above every name.” Did the apostle Paul hear “the name which is above every name” on the road to Damascus? Yes, he did, as his testimony clearly reveals. He did not hear the name Jesus, but he heard the name YAH, and he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). What is truly being said here? The Christ has “the name which is above every name,” YAH. We, all creatures, are to bow before this name YAHSHUA! Every language, every tongue, is to know this one revealed name from Heaven! Any name not revealed by God is a counterfeit name, and therefore tantamount to idolatry! Any name not revealed by God is not the name of salvation, whereby we must be saved! To reject the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved is to stand and be condemned already (John 3:18).
Ray Comfort is why I turn my life to Jesus. I saw his videos at Cerritos College and made me think about my own sins. I can't wait to hear his testimony.
@SheepOfChrist818there’s nothing wrong you said or did 💯‼️ the person clearly said “Ray comfort is the reason I gave my life to Christ” when Jesus should be the reason we give our lives to Christ so CONFIRMATION is a must
@@Batya-Grace You could stand to be more gracious and kind w/ people. That's how Jesus wants us to grow and love one another, little kindnesses, more patience and more grace.
@@The_Only_Way_Is_Up777 … I don’t think you’re understanding that God uses people to lead other people to Jesus, so it makes perfect sense that the original poster would say that Ray comfort led them to turn their life to Jesus Christ. They’re not saying that Ray comfort saved them. They’re saying that Ray comfort influenced them to turn to Jesus Christ.
I too took lsd when I was 17. I’m 68 now and will never forget it…It frightened me so much. Thank the Lord I have been saved. Ray Comfort is an amazing example to us all. God bless him 🙏🏻🌟
Ray is such a godly example of someone who is utterly sold out for the Lord...HE WHO WINS SOULS IS WISE....We often hear: life is short "better enjoy it!" How about eternity is long "better prepare for it!"
He is a lying little worm !! The problem is that he actually believes his own lies, because first he lied to himself. The truth is that his own impending death frightened him so much that he formed a delusion to comfort himself. Since then he has conned, deceived, and lied his way into a good income for himself, a much more lucrative outcome than he knew previously. LOL He lied and claimed he could prove God scientifically . . . which o course he has failed to do . . . just like every other such claimant !!!!
I suggest you try watching Dr. Kent Hovind on his channel, Genesis Baptist Church. You won't be disappointed! He teaches from the KJB/KJV in a way anyone can understand! Please try him out, listen, and watch. With 🙏's and love.
Dogs, the beach, and the saving grace of Jesus. Ray is a man after my own heart ❤️ May God continue to bless your ministry and all of your efforts to bring people to Jesus. 🙏
@@homegown1234 Yes‼️ - The promise of GOD’s blessing binds itself to ‘those who are sincere’ in listening to this man of God. One can certainly feel that The Lord speaks truth through Brother Ray. 🙏🏼✝️🕊
I love the way Ray ministers to those on the street, he doesn’t argue with them or condemn them, but he shows there by the word the error of there ways, and win them like that, those that will listen, may God continue to bless him and his endeavors
I was a good Mormon kid from Southern California and I had a similar experience. I had joined the Navy and was stationed in Norfolk Virginia as an aircraft mechanic. I strayed a bit off the path for a couple of years and I had a similar experience. I had attended a friends end of the season Lifeguards party at an old Coast Guard Station 30 miles , or so from the Air Station. Everyone was smoking dope and drinking and I believe something was in one of the joints I shared and I sort of blacked out, really blacked out. My friends say I got on that Triumph 500, started it , said goodbye , and the miracle was, I made it the 30 miles home, and I remember none of it, maybe just one traffic light and it all went black again. I woke up the next morning in my own bed, with my motorcycle parked in front of my apartment, and no memory of the trip home, except for maybe that one traffic light. I quit everything that day, and got back on the path like my parents taught me and never strayed again. I know someone watched over me and I never forgot that night.
Did you nothear his testimony about Christ? He is not the same Jesus as your parents taught you. It is not works that save you ,but only the grace ofJesus Christ. Read the Book ofJohn.
in order to be saved you cannot be a Mormon, they believe Satan and Jeus were brothers, you need to read the gospels, repent and put your trust alone in Jesus not your works
@juliabrooks6556 It may shock you, but we do believe in Christ and in his Gospel. I do have a testimony of Jesus Christ and his eternal sacrifice . I'm sorry if you want to believe that.
@@micahstory We can't agree to disagree on the gospel message. Ray Comfort has an accursed gospel. Absolutely nobody has ever been saved by repenting of their sins. Jonah 3: 10 calls turning from sins, "works." Furthermore, sin is transgression of the law, therefore, repentance of sins is law keeping and is certainly a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation. How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance? God grants repentance unto the acknowledgement of the truth. *Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn ( repent ) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.* If repentance of sins helps save you in any way then it had better be perfect repentance. God's standard is absolute perfection not your best efforts. Trying doesn't count. Not even one sin is allowed to be in Heaven. The book of James says that if you follow the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all. Oops, so much for helping out with your salvation by attempting to repent of your sins. When you have believed on Christ alone for salvation then you have repented unto life! Ray Comfort has a faith plus works equals salvation gospel and he's going to split Hell wide open someday.
Unfortunately his a heretic, Unless you take the body and blood of Jesus Christ you have no life in you! John 6:53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
@@joehun1 it’s really sad to see Christians who are obsessed with “heresy hunting”. To me, it seems to be more important to them than actually spreading the gospel. Ray is a genuine Christian who’s life very clearly reflects the teachings of Christ. You may disagree with him on some specific doctrine, but that doesn’t make him a heretic.
Thank you Lord Jesus for this mans testimony. Thank you for answering my prayers and for blessing me with another day and so much more. You are worthy to be peaised and glorified. In your name Lord God I pray, Amen
What Ray said about family is so true 😭 your actions and love speak louder to them! I definitely came in very hard on my family with lots of passion and zeal too 😅 I am learning to pray for divine opportunities to share about Jesus now I trust God to encounter them all in His own way 🙏 I let go of control and I stand joyfully waiting for the day my family gets saved!
Hi just found you “by accident”. I love hearing testimonies of how God saved and is using people; it is always encouraging and educational, and it builds faith. I have learnt a lot from watching Ray Comfort so I was excited to hear his testimony. Thank you. Now I am looking forward to seeing who else’s story is on your channel.
God bless ray! I committed to sharing the gospel with 3-5 people a week in 2017 after watching your videos. It’s the highlight of each of my week. Many blessings to you!
@@jessiska2468 He says that you must repent of your sins and trust Christ alone for salvation. How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance ( repenting of sins )? You absolutely can't. The entire book of John says believe about 99 times no mention of repentance. When you have believed on Christ alone for salvation then you have repented unto life! Jonah 3:10, " And God saw their *works* that they turned from their wicked way and God repented of the evil that He would do unto them and He did it not." *Repentance of sins is works.* Furthermore; sin is transgression of the law, therefore, repentance of sins is *law keeping* and is certainly a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation. If repentance of sins helps save you in any way then it had better be perfect repentance. God's standard is absolute perfection not your best efforts. Trying doesn't count. Not even one sin is allowed to be in Heaven. The book of James says that if you follow the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all.

God grants repentance unto the acknowledgement of the truth. *Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.* So it's plain and simple that Ray Comfort has another gospel of faith plus works equals salvation nonsense.
as someone who is in pain & suffers everyday & agonises over the state of the world & is generally isolated & lonely...........for me christianity is the answer............love kindness sharing..........i really appreciate your video............ best wishes simon
This was a very insightful interview and testimony. Thank you. I have participated with Ray by distributing some of the literature he has produced over the years and I believe it to be effective in planting the seeds of the gospel for the lost world to come to know. I have never met Ray in person but of all of the people I have met in my life, and I have met many over the years, he hasn't ever exhibited anything but genuineness and sincerity in his love for our Adon, Yahushua ha' Mashiach. < ```
Contrary to Eric, I kept watching Ray's video because I'm not getting bored, and it was easy for me to understand the gospel when it gets repeated every single time. God bless you.
I came across Ray's channel a couple of years ago. Even as a Christian already, I have to say what a blessing it has been to learn from his many episodes of sharing the good news of Christ.
@@colonalklink14 I am not sure what you mean by another gospel. It is simple what the gospel says and Ray explains it well. I went on his website and what his beliefs are is what the bible says.
@@Covelio I have never heard Ray speak about being saved by works. I think people may be confused about that when he speaks of the works Jesus did so that we may be saved. This is from the living waters website that explains that. "The supreme need of all human beings is to be reconciled to the God under whose just and holy wrath we stand; the only hope of all human beings is the undeserved love of this same God, who alone can rescue us and restore us to Himself through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross."
Wow ! This was amazing and quite a surprise. I have been a one foot in and one foot Out kind of gal, for the past few years. I’m positive this behavior grieves the Lord after listening to this man speak. I’m a mother and I know how it feels to be rejected by my son. Once upon a time, I was all in .it was life-saving and life changing. Looking back I never did give my whole self. I waited for the shoe to drop and it did. The Lord has remained kind to me… Even in all my reluctance. I hope that my continual turning into listen to this man and reading the word the way, I once did restores my heart and my faith ❤ Thank you for your sincerity and loving Jesus, and getting the word out there❤
I love this! I’ve been following Ray for a while and it was what eventually got me to stop being a lukewarm Christian. Delafé Testimonies also inspired me to do this as well. God bless everyone.
He mentioned being bored hearing Ray say the same thing over and over again but honestly for me it never gets old. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time every time Ray says what he says to people because who can ever get bored of the truth? Who can ever get bored of seeing people open their eyes to the truth? And when they are hearing the truth for the first time, it's like I'm also hearing it for the first time even though I already know it, just because God's love and God's truth are the most beautiful thing to my soul's ears.
Let no man deceive you… Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV) What’s the will of the Father for us? John 6:40 “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV) The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏
Ray, god used your channel to talk to me at the age of 14-15, and im thankful as i remember my youth on how god was listening and wanted to use me in my older years. Its been 5 years since then and ill always remember how your channel persuaded me at such a young age.
So blessed to hear Ray’s testimony today! I love watching the Living Waters channel because hearing the Gospel over and over never gets old 🙌🏾 it’s so simple yet so powerful! to God be the glory! Happy new year everyone
Glad to hear Ray´s testimony after following the Living Waters Channel for a few months. I am one of those who had said the sinner´s prayer over and over and nothing happened. Still don ´t „feel“ saved, but after years of doubt had come to put my trust in Rom. 10:13. Over decades knowledge of sin has grown and I have come to trust the Spirit testifying to my spirit that I am a child of God. Not emotions, just supernatural knowledge.
Great testimony Ray Comfort. Years ago I bought your version of the Old & New Testament called THE COMFORT BIBLE. There in is a world of helpful ways to evangelize. Thank you so much, God bless ❤ 🙏🏼 in Jesus' precious Name. Amen
Thanks Ray and Delafé for this encouragement. Both of you are truly a comfort 😊. I'm not good at speaking and am extremely introverted - but I know we are all called to share the gospel, so I've put out some of Ray's tracts. I pray God will draw all those who receive them, to His Son, Jesus/Yeshua. ❤
This was a breath of fresh air, and a welcomed change of pace from the usual testimonies that seem to involve hyper spiritual activity that is difficult to believe. Ray shot straight and this was encouraging. I often contemplate sharing my own story one day.
Thank you for sharing Ray's testimony! I have watched close to 100 of his videos... Maybe more than that.! This had me weeping at some points. I'm amazed that brother Ray is able to hold his emotions so well... This testimony has laser cutting effectiveness! Wow! God be praised... I'm jumping up and down this is so good....❤️🔥🔥❤️😇
Thank you brother Ray...I watch your videos often at my upholstery shop. I have gone door to door with some brothers and sisters from my church sharing the gospel. I want to share more this year in sharing the gospel with others who are hurting and need to hear the gospel. Thank you for your ministry I've learned so much from you. Denise
What a blessing for day 1 of 2024! Thank you, Jesus, for all the fruit that came out of this man of faith. And personal thanks, because I finally understood what faith really is (I'm relatively new in Christ). May the Lord bless us with such eagerness to share the gospel!
God bless you so much Ray. You played a huge part in my life when I was a false convert at 18 years old and didn't even know it. I read Hell's Best Kept Secret and I believe a multitude of seeds were planted. I was born again and filled with the Spirit at 24, and now at 35 I can honestly say that not only have those seeds sown by your book and your witnessing clips produced a bountiful harvest in me, but I have also been able to sow seeds I've learnt through your pure, scriptural ministry into others lives over the years. You've been an inspiration to me and an encouragement from age 18 to now and you and your love and thankfulness to God will always hold a special place in my heart. And it totally resonates with me what you said in your amazing testimony, the thankfulness I have to God for saving me from certain spiritual death living as a false convert, it brings me to tears still now as if i was saved yesterday. Glory to God most high ❤
I love this guy. I watch any youtubes that I see when he witnesses to others. What he doesn't realize is that I have used some of his messaging when witnessing to others. So, he is reaching more people than he knows. I probably will not meet him on this side of heaven, but I look forward to meeting him in heaven and thanking him for helping me.
Ray! Oh my goodness- I’ve been so blessed by his ministry on TH-cam channel- Living Waters. Sadly, I grew up with the prosperity gospel and the Living Waters ministry really gave me a clear understanding of the gospel according to the scriptures!
Romans 12:1 was the scripture i prayed when I got saved. Thank you Ray, i street preach and evangelize using your techniques and tracts. Lord willing, i will be training others from my church to biblically evangelize this Feb.
Ray has the gift of gab & memorization. He could talk to anyone and keep the conversation going and going. He remonds me of the Energizer Bunny! . The perfect evangelist. I admire his diligence.
What hit me hard in this testimony is when you speak on faith meaning to "trust in God's integrity." That was awesome! To talk about the trust we have in soo many things or people... I was just talking to someone about the trust we have in Rollercoasters to flip us and speed us around at G forces lol how much more trust we SHOULD really have in God!! Awesome!!
Excellent interview! Lovely interviewer and interviewee! Praise the LORD for Mr. Ray Comfort because he’s taught and inspired so many of us how to evangelize and get the Gospel out there…🙌🏼✝️🙌🏼
I grew up without God in my home either. But I had an encounter with demons and Satan… then Jesus 🙌🏻 2 years ago that changed my life. Hallelujah I have been following Delafe and Living Waters ever since
Follow no one except Jesus! Men make mistakes,Jesus does not. You can learn and grow from people yes,but to follow man shows lack of discernment I mean no offense but in these last days,following people is getting many into deception which the bible warns about. Psalm 118:8-9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
@@MumOfManyForTheGloryOfGod I appreciate your heart, but yes, i met Jesus! Of course I follow Him now 🤗I don’t follow TH-cam channels OVER Jesus. What I was saying was I am subscribed ☑️ lol
The whole last half of this video is the most important. If I could extract it to make a smaller video clip, then I would. It's so crucial for everyone to hear, including seasoned mature Christians.
I had a similar experience on LSD where i saw every house on a street i was riding down and could see the struggles of everyone in those homes and the seeming futility of life and it affected me so deeply. But i didn't find the Lord for about 3 more years after the loss of my closest sibling in a tragic way. Thanks for sharing your testimony and mostly for teaching us how to share the gospel - the Good News starts with the bad news.
I have one of Ray’s books and I have watched many videos. He is a inspiration for me and I am sure others. I pray the Lord gives you many years to do the good works.🙏
A false works based gospel of turning from your sins, working to be saved! Let no man deceive you… Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV) What’s the will of the Father for us? John 6:40 “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV) The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏
@@Covelio. What are you Covello, mute? Every scripture you’ve quoted is in line with what Ray is saying. The problem with people like you is that you come to the Lord by the Grace of God & somehow in your experience you come to believe that you have a monopoly on the scriptures. Do you truly believe you know more than this brother of 50+ years? You sound like a new convert full of zeal with no knowledge (Prov 19:2); Maybe a Calvanist has invaded your walk with Christ & you’ve been duped by the 5- points of Calvinism which is the real false doctrine. You believe you can live anyway you want and still go to heaven. You now make everything you hear concerning the doctrine of Christ into works because it helps you believe the sins you’re committing are okay and you don’t have to struggle with the Holy Spirit conviction that more than likely has turned into guilt from knowing your disobeying God. You’re now loving your sin so much you won’t/can’t let go! You don’t truly believe you can live like hell & still have salvation waiting for you with your intentional choice of sin in your life however, you can’t change it because you’re in bondage. REPENT! Or is that WORKS TOO? Even the fool is considered wise if he keeps his mouth shut!……(Proverbs 17:28)…. Paraphrased, but I’m sure you get it!!…..Get right or get left!…..🙏
Thank you for sharing. I loved this. Ray Comfort is one of the men of God who helped me to come to a real relationship with Jesus christ. I am so grateful for his work. (PS. New Zealand needs him back 😉)
Im a catholic, and i do think that Ray is wonderful. I think Jesus Our Lord works wonders in so many different spheres, and Ray must have encouraged hundreds - thousands - to re evaluate their lives in the light of Christ. 🙏❤️🙏
If you understand & believe what the Catholic Church teaches, you are headed for hell. I say that because I care enough to tell you the truth. Read your Bible. Galatians and Romans would be a great starting point. Your church denies the Gospel. They believe Protestants are headed to hell for the same reason. If you care enough about your own eternal destiny , let the scriptures decide. We both can’t be right!
Love ray’s ministry! I have learned much from it. This man is a true evangelist. Spends 10% of the time telling his story and 90% of the time preaching the gospel .
It's such a blessing to see this channel grow and with the vast different guests that are brought for us to learn so much from 🙏 May God continue blessing you and I hope one day I will be able to share my testimony
Let no man deceive you… your works won’t save you: Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV) What’s the will of the Father for us? John 6:40 “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV) The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation.

@@Coveliothe original comment didn't say "I was saved by my works" or "if I don't do works I will loose my salvation or "Ray Comfort saved me". What was even the point of your response?
I knew Jesus since I was a little boy but I didn’t have any Christian instruction except to pray. I got baptized Catholic at 13. Family stopped going to church and since I didn’t understand the Bible and only would pray. I believed salvation was works based. I believed that bastard children don’t go to heaven I was scared. I would bargain with God. I fell away as a teenager when I started pursuing losing my virginity. My falling out with God lasted till I was 22-23 in 2021 and found the truth through your videos Ray Comfort. It led me to give up on myself and seek God and in a few months after God blessed me with a woman that I would come to marry a couple months after repentance. We connected on Jesus and got married the same year. Something I never seen coming. It was quick and I am deeply appreciative to God that I found your interviews. Thank you Jesus Thank you Ray Comfort.
I have followed Ray Comfort for many years now and still, when he speaks - - - I listen. He is always candid and truth-filled because of Christ in him. He has taught me to evangelize with confidence and not give up. I am thankful for this man of God and his ministry. God bless you Ray❣️ 🙏🏼 GodsgalMN - aka Lori / Minnesota ✝️
Oh Wow what a surprise to see Ray Comfort in this ministry. Wonderful! God bless Delafé! What a blessing to have him share more about his testimony, and something he hadn't shared before that's so personal.
What a good way to start 2024 with the testimony of this man. I don't know much about him, the comment section just showed he is popular. I can't wait to hear the goodness of the Living God
You, are the Best Person I have Ever Heard, street preaching. Your Love, for those you speak to, comes across in Every story 😉 I 🙏🏼 I will see you in Forever in the Glory of Our King 👑
It was so good to hear Ray Comforts testimony, I watch many of his videos. Thank you so much for interviewing him. It was so easy to listen to and thank you Ray for praying for many of us that want to be a better testimony to others I often do share the gospel with many people, but I want to do more, so thank you for praying for me. God bless you shalom.💜✡️✝️
I really enjoyed this testimony. My Bible study teacher uses Ray’s videos sometimes to spark a discussion. I’m glad he was able to partner with y’all to get his testimony recorded. A prayer request for me: please pray for the salvation of my family - especially my brother Charles. Thank you!
@@blue-eyedbarber1935 He says that it's not by works, he says that it's a free gift, then immediately tells you to work. That's a false gospel of faith plus works equals salvation nonsense. Jonah 3:10 calls turning from sins," works." " And God saw their *works* that they turned from their wicked way and God repented of the evil that He would do unto them and He did it not." *Repentance of sins is works.* Furthermore; sin is transgression of the law, therefore, repentance of sins is *law keeping* and is certainly a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation. Galatians 2: 16, 2: 21, Ephesians 2: 8 ,9, 10, Romans 3: 28, Romans 4: 5, 6, and Romans 11: 6, clearly seperate faith from works of any kind (Mosaic Law or the laws written on our hearts). If repentance *of sins* helps save you in any way then it had better be perfect repentance. God's standard is absolute perfection, not your best efforts. Trying doesn't count. Not even one sin is allowed to be in Heaven. The book of James says that if you follow the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all. Oops, so much for helping out with your salvation by attempting to repent of your sins. God grants repentance unto the acknowledgement of the truth. *Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.* Ray says trust Christ alone for salvation. How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance? He's got another gospel of faith plus works equals salvation nonsense. The entire book of John says believe about 99 times no mention of repentance. When you have believed on Christ *alone* for salvation then you have repented unto life!
thank you for being truthful and transparent Ray! I admire your faith and courage! I believe ppl believe because we are truthful and do not hide our failures! my greatest joy is giving a Bible to someone with the hopes they are curious to feel LOVE they will NEVER feel from any human being. God bless you!!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing this! We love Ray Comfort ! I laughed when Ray shared his spiritual birthday! It may have been the same day as mine in 1972!!! Ray is totally correct about those who are forgiven much love much!!! My family basically thought I was crazy… however after reading Mark 3, I laughed because Jesus’s family thought HE was out of HIS mind! Jesus understands us passionate followers!! Thanks Ray! Most of all THANK YOU LORD!!!!
Let no man deceive you… your works won’t save you. Turning from sin won’t save you. Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV) What’s the will of the Father for us? John 6:40 “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV) The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏
I just love brother Ray share the Gospel so wonderfully with real zeal and burden. This is the first time I am hearing his testimony and I am really so glad to hear it. God bless you dear brother and use you mightily.
I remember you challenging the “Wizard” in the Christchurch Square early 1970s. I bought your book “My friends are dying” and gave it to my brother in law, whom was really affected by it. Blessings to you and your work.
I've known of and admired Ray Comfort for a long time but never more than after watching this video. It's great to see him be so vulnerable and relatable. Praise God!
Ray Comfort is so COMFORTING 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 listening to his testimony was so wonderful. Ray Comfort sincerely loves everyone and is an inspiration for all to be more like Christ. Thank you for featuring him 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
Praises to God Ray for calling you out of darkness into His marvellous light that you may proclaim His mighty acts. Thank you for yielding to His calling and what awesome work He's doing through you in sharing the gospel ❤🙏
Thank you Ray for your testimony and por your pasión for the lost souls . Thank for your teaching and testimonios. My husband and I met you in NZ long time ago. I enjoy listen to you testifian and see how people open they heart to God. Thanks one more for all I learnt from you. God bless😊
Great testimony brother I can relate unfortunately I spent many years in the drug culture acid was a big part of it many trips but God had his hands on me through out my life God bless you and your ministry brother ….✝️✝️✝️🇨🇦 13:40
Ray did you live near New Brighton as a kid? I remember watching you preach in the Square with the Wizard over to the right. So glad I came to Jesus, even if it was 41 years later.
As you were speaking (at 24min) about fear of death, I was thinking, "I'm not afraid of dying," and then I thought WAY BACK to when I was a little girl and had a nightmare of demons pulling me away from my parents and my big brother, and in the dream, that I would never see them again. .. One night, my dad was tucking me into bed, and I told him I didn't want to go to sleep, because of the nightmare. My parents took me to the living room and explained to me about Jesus and salvation. And that when they die, they will be in heaven. I made Jesus my Lord that night. Of course, I don't remember everything in that conversation, as I was VERY young. But as we walk with the Lord and "work out our own salvation," we learn and grow more, so though I was saved at a young age, I continue to grow more as I submit to Him each area of my life. .. (I was BOrn in '72.) .. So I don't fear death NOW, but I guess I did once. 😄
I’m grateful for your story. 😊 I wouldn’t have thought of sharing the Gospel after a nightmare but it’s actually the most important way to respond, leading your child to Jesus and reassuring them we are always connected in Christ and will be together again. I feel more prepared for this situation for my children in the future, thank you God bless ❤
För fyra år sedan såg jag en av Rays vidio för första gången. På den tiden var jag inte frälst och höll på med new age och new thinking. Genom Rays vidio öppnade Gud mina ögon och jag förstod äntligen vem Jesus var och vad han gjorde på korset. Att han älskar mig och dog för mina synder❤️✝️ efter den dagen beslutade jag mig för att följa Jesus och aldrig mer tillbaka gå. Tack Delafé för ert arbete☺️ och fortsätt med att dela budskapet vad Jesus gör i människors liv ❤️🙌
@@theartistcherrypi6454 The shocking truth is that Jesus will not save you. That’s right! Jesus will not save you, or anyone else, and here’s why, and to help you realize this, consider the following facts: Sin has separated you from God, the Father, the life-giving Spirit, and you have no access to His Holy Spirit while you are burdened and covered with sin. Without God, the life-giving Spirit, you will die without any hope of redemption and eternal life. You were born into a world of good and evil due to the fall of Adam, your original father, and the father of all mankind, and also due to your sins, God is far from you, and He will not redeem you. We, who are separated from God, and separated from the giver of life, which is why our lives end. Without righteousness, you have no access to God, the Father. To establish righteousness, God’s law was revealed to us, which can lead to righteousness, however, you, and everyone else on the planet, fell short of obeying the law of God, and now the law condemns you, and everyone, as all have fallen short of righteousness. But here is the good news, of ‘the Gospel,’ “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’” (John 3:16-18). What is His name? What is the revealed name of the Savior, the only begotten Son of God? In Matthew 1:21, the angel commanded Joseph, a descendant of king David and betrothed husband of Mary, to give the newly born Savior, the only begotten of God the Father, the virgin-born Son of God, a specific name. But, did the angel give the name of “Jesus”? And this begs the question, can we change the name of salvation revealed from Heaven? The shocking fact is that the name “Jesus” has only existed since the 17th century CE! Before the name Jesus (gee-sus) existed, it was Iesus (ee-sus), as found in the Bible, the King James Version of the year 1611 CE. Iesus transformed from the name Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Will God honor belief in a name (Jesus) he never revealed as the name of salvation? If we chose Jesus, as the name of salvation, a name that came into being through linguistic evolution, are not the names Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, counterfeits? The angel did not speak to Joseph in English (Jesus), Latin (Iesus), or in Greek (Iesous). Why is this even an issue? The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). This excludes any other name, or names, not revealed from Heaven! The name “Jesus” is there in the New Testament, and if it did not get there by the revelation of God, then why is it in the Bible? It was authorized by the traditions of men and not the revelation of God. That would make the name Jesus a counterfeit name, and therefore, not honored by God. Now what do we do? We failed the requirements of the Law, which if obeyed afforded us righteousness and acceptance to God the Father, and therefore eternal life, and we do not have the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved! And God never revealed the names of Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous, so what is the revealed name of salvation? So what do we do? We must find the name of our salvation in the Word of God, and not according to the tongue of man! Let’s start, with a man by the name of Saul, a Jewish religious leader, who was commissioned to go to Damascus to arrest and prosecute Jewish believers in Christ. Later he gives this testimony of his journey to king Agrippa, “While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am YAHSHUA, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 26:12-15). We know that Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous are not Hebrew names, therefore, Christ did not reveal those names. Did Saul, who now is an Apostle, who afterwards went by the name of Paul, and who was sent by Christ to preach the Gospel of Christ, actually hear the name “YAHSHUA”? This is a very unique name, and it would likely be considered a philological impossibility by linguistics today. But notice, that the name YAHSHUA has the prefix of YAH. What does prefix mean? A prefix can be a letter or group of letters that may be added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning. Shua means “my help”, as in “salvation.” Therefore Shua is modified by YAH, and literally means, “I AM Salvation.” YAH is part of the true name of God, and we praise this name by saying, “Halleluyah,” which means “Praise YAH!” The meaning of YAH is “I AM.” Many believe the name of the God of the Bible to be YAHWEH. YAH is “I AM”, but “weh”, who knows? Where did we get the name YAH? Short answer, the name YAH was revealed to Moses. “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM” [that is: “HaYAH Ashar HaYAH,” HaYAH means “the I AM”] And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM [YAH] has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:13-14). YAH is “the name which is above every name.” Did the apostle Paul hear “the name which is above every name” on the road to Damascus? Yes, he did, as his testimony clearly reveals. He did not hear the name Jesus, but he heard the name YAH, and he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). What is truly being said here? The Christ has “the name which is above every name,” YAH. We, all creatures, are to bow before this name YAHSHUA! Every language, every tongue, is to know this one revealed name from Heaven! Any name not revealed by God is a counterfeit name, and therefore tantamount to idolatry! Any name not revealed by God is not the name of salvation, whereby we must be saved! To reject the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved is to stand and be condemned already (John 3:18).
It is amazing how God brought Ray to Himself. He is my favorite street preacher. He does a fantastic job showing people the 10 commandments and the sin that is in their hearts. It is so touching when a person sees the light. Thank you Ray, for sharing your love for Jesus with lost sinners. I love your accent. I love your ministry. God bless you, Brother.💖
Yea and then he deceived people with his turning from sin to be saved BS. Let no man deceive you… Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV) What’s the will of the Father for us? John 6:40 “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV) The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏
I find myself floating back and forth between doing recovery and being in recovery...his definition of doing recovery brings me guilt and shame...it makes tell myself i have to work harder at being in recovery. I'll need to listen to this again.
So grateful for your testimony and your works and ministry over the years Ray. God bless you and your family. Thank you too Delafe for this channel. 🙏💜
Heyyyy, it's Ray! Wow! I've always wanted to hear his whole testimony. I love Ray's ministry, Living Waters. And his videos are such an education on how to witness and share the gospel and such a blessing to watch. I love seeing people come to Christ. ...This is a treat!
I am thankful to you Ray for sharing this, because it is incredibly validating to my own experience. I used to be this person, who was a thrill seeker, and would take drugs, just for fun. Well I also heard about their therapeutic benefits (in clinical settings) and thought I'd try to fix my own problems by taking hallucinogens. One day I was taking mushrooms and was crying about trauma that had happened to me as a child. I began to ponder about how interesting PTSD is. You can be happy and fine, not remembering things for years. Then one day, bam! It's like these painful memories are locked away in the back of your mind, stored there until you're old enough to sort them out. I thought (as a new age, occultic, agnostic) that evolution couldn't have produced that! Love must have put that there, to preserve a child's mind from insanity. Love did that! In that moment it was almost like, idk how to put it into words because despite being on mushrooms, it was a supernatural experience. I was in the presence of God (I now believe it to be the Holy Spirit) and I began to weep, because I realized how wrong I had been living my life. Chasing after all the wrong things. I was on my knees weeping, sobbing. Then without words I was given the sense that we are living in the end times, time is short! It is imminent! It was very fearful. I was also almost shown all of the bible, that it was true. It made sense if only for a moment before it was hidden from my mind again. It shook me to the core of my being. It (this experience) changed me. I have never been the same again. I became a believer that day. It was September 2017 and let me tell you, since then the signs have gotten so frequent I can't even watch anymore. It is evident and apparent that the end is imminent. I don't tell many people about this because I don't want to cause confusion, about my conversion. That I condone taking drugs or anything like that. I also don't want people to condemn what happened and tell me it wasn't real. But it was. It shook my inner spirit. It put the fear of God into me. I KNOW Yahweh is real!!
I believe you! And I wish he would speak like this to me. I asked him many times but there is silence. I still believe there is a creator, I will always even if he decides to not say hi to me. It makes me sad but I believe even if I am a sad believer I m still saved. It just would be so much easier for me to tell other ppl if I just had a real testimony.
@@jisue3517What do you think a real testimony is? Do you think it's only someone who has had lived a very wayward life? What about those who are brought up loving Jesus and have kept on the straight and narrow? Sure, they are not perfect but in my mind I always wonder what that must be like and HOW do they do it without becoming self righteous? How do they keep going for Jesus when there are so many temptations on every side? When you think about it..a faithful follower of Christ is the best testimony of all.

Blessings and protection and thanks for your channel to continue to thrive during 2024 🙏🏿☺️ What a fabulous first testimony off the year with Mr Ray Comfort , all glory to God .God bless , from Jess in and from the UK 🇬🇧🙏🏿😊
Do remember me (Shaji Chacko) in your prayers I do need brand new soul which may not lust after sin. I want tobe saved by Creator, Preserver, Destroyer. I have been listening many christian youtubers, radio programs almost 33 years. 🙏Thanks 🙏
I met this man at the Huntington Beach pier a few years after I came to Christ. He’s so warm and friendly, he has a pocket full of goofy tricks and joke items just to make people laugh. I pray that i become as gentle, loving, and bold about Jesus as Ray is!
He's got another gospel.
@@colonalklink14elaborate
This is Ray Comfort teaching a works based gospel: th-cam.com/video/ssM-FXpIJfw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YjkwJ6hD1tC0kHJP
He says you must turn from sin to be saved. We are saved by grace through faith alone. Not of our works. Baptism won’t save you. We all sin everyday in word thought or deed. If we have to stop sinning after being saved, we would all not make it. I’m not promoting sin or saying you have a license to sin. Becoming more Christ like and doing good works is for Discipleship NOT for salvation. Your works or lifestyle do not prove your saved. Judas was a disciple but never believed, Judas even repented after selling Jesus out. He went to Hell. So stop with the lies. The only condition for salvation is faith in Jesus to save you. Repentance is a change of mind, nothing more. We repent when we stop trusting in anything but Jesus to save us.
@@CovelioRay preaches the truth. He presents the 10 commandments as a mirror not as a list to be perfect.. he presents the 10 commandment first so that we know we’re “sick” so he can clearly give us the cure which is Jesus. A person who doesn’t see the need for Jesus will not follow Jesus.. He goes on to say that Jesus paid the fine for all of our sins.. but do we continue to deliberately sin against God just because He’s already forgiven us and died for us?? No.. Ray is saying we have to trust Jesus like we trust a parachute in everything we do, he clearly explains that we can’t do it alone and we have to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us. To admit that we need Jesus in our daily lives, literally every moment of our lives.
Wow
I was 19 years old and took my second lsd. We were on a road trip and I started getting pain in my stomach. A voice came to me and said "If you walk this way, you won't see God". I don't come from any Christian background, and I wasn't born again until 11 years later. But I never touched an lsd again. Thank you very much for your honest testimony. You and I were very lucky!
Blessed not lucky💕
i can say im 65 and i guess just lucky i took lsd and mushrooms many times never had a bad trip always had a great time and i just know i could play the guitar like a pro when i was tripping i alway took 2 every time usely i would drop one under my tougue and when i started to feel that one i would take another one i must say i love it but like i said never had a bad trip and always felt closer to jesus
Feeling close and being close are NOT the same thing.
Satan and His servants masquerade as angels of light, and make people who are close to them feel REALLY good.
Ray Comfort is a fearless man of God. I used to see him in my city park riding his bike with his dog and his sunglasses. He approached me one day as I was getting some exercise and I said hey I know who you are Mr. Comfort, and I am a Believer too. He was nice and relatable, he even gave me a Subway gift card. I wish I could have just one iota of his evangelizing skills.
Thank god you are a blessed man and I hope you are doing well share the gospel praise Jesus 👏 for you Ray çomfort
Michaelarmenta8289. ~ If you really want to be evangelizing. =. DO IT ! Ray has
lots of videos of fantastic ways to reach lost souls! AND the Word of God does give many examples of how to 'win' souls and. get them 'off' the road to
hell !!! It sure is VERY rewarding = especially for those who get saved ! God tells us throughout the scriptures to 'go into all the world and preach the Gospel..." We'll soon be 'out' of this world & you may be asked. "WHY didn't you?"
What I like about Ray is that he is not ashamed of the Gospel! I also want to become as brave as him and speak of Jesus and His dying for our sins in our place. I am not ashamed of the Gospel!
♥️♥️♥️My Jesus I love you! Thank you for dieing for all sins so we can have our sins forgiven and choose our Creator!!
And you can! I feel the same way. It’s going to take faith, love, and hard work as we go out and evangelize. It’s not described as an easy thing, it’s hard every time. Even Paul the apostle asked several churches for prayer that he may have the boldness and words to preach the gospel to others. And Ray Comfort has expressed how he has felt nervous before every evangelizing experience but goes through with it because of one main thing: love for that sinner who is on their way to Hell. Ray says, “the point is not to remove the fear. It is to have love greater than your fear.” It’s a matter of denying yourself and putting all you have into following Jesus as we go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15). I hope this encourages you. You are not alone. God can provide you opportunities to evangelize; all you need to do is ask :) God has blessed me with evangelizing opportunities when I’ve felt so nervous and asked Him for help, and He continues to help me grow my love for others and become braver. He can do the same for you.
And remember this: The little that we give God, He can multiply in His hands🙌. Just like Jesus did with the 3 loaves and 2 fishes to feed the 5,000.
Peace be with you❤️.
I'm now 29. I've been following Ray's ministry since I was 15. How time flies!
Ray has a divinely given gift; there's no doubt about that.
Intelligent, Courageous, Compassionate, Humble, Eloquent, Masterful Storyteller, Captivating and Faithful.
God Bless You, Ray.
You have the same gift thru Christ. You just haven't tried it yet
My youngest son Tony invited me many years ago (20+ years) to go with him to meet up with Ray Comfort & his special group of men including Kirk Cameron who was sharing the Gospel with those people not far from t the pier of Santa Monica! WOW! I was thrilled to be there watching Kirk gently
sharing a few different pamphlets and very creative; as usual on or
off the main streets
nearby the Santa Monica Pier!!! I was the elder of the group obviously but all there were respectful. Praise God! 😅
The small group we were with moved to the pier to initially watch & listen to Ray speak with those those who hesitated to listen to him then answer questions that Ray would begin to ask. A cameraman was running the video as he spoke with different folks to get their responses to Ray’s sharing the Gospel .
I’ll never forget that initial meeting with Ray & his team!
My son, Tony lately was hired to be one of Ray’s IT engineers part time because of his God given abilities! Thank God!
PS I’ve been blessed to see & meet with Ray & his team a few times over these many years.

@@elizabethramsay-wilt7995 The shocking truth is that Jesus will not save you. That’s right! Jesus will not save you, or anyone else, and here’s why, and to help you realize this, consider the following facts:
Sin has separated you from God, the Father, the life-giving Spirit, and you have no access to His Holy Spirit while you are burdened and covered with sin. Without God, the life-giving Spirit, you will die without any hope of redemption and eternal life. You were born into a world of good and evil due to the fall of Adam, your original father, and the father of all mankind, and also due to your sins, God is far from you, and He will not redeem you. We, who are separated from God, and separated from the giver of life, which is why our lives end. Without righteousness, you have no access to God, the Father. To establish righteousness, God’s law was revealed to us, which can lead to righteousness, however, you, and everyone else on the planet, fell short of obeying the law of God, and now the law condemns you, and everyone, as all have fallen short of righteousness. But here is the good news, of ‘the Gospel,’ “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’” (John 3:16-18). What is His name? What is the revealed name of the Savior, the only begotten Son of God?
In Matthew 1:21, the angel commanded Joseph, a descendant of king David and betrothed husband of Mary, to give the newly born Savior, the only begotten of God the Father, the virgin-born Son of God, a specific name. But, did the angel give the name of “Jesus”? And this begs the question, can we change the name of salvation revealed from Heaven? The shocking fact is that the name “Jesus” has only existed since the 17th century CE! Before the name Jesus (gee-sus) existed, it was Iesus (ee-sus), as found in the Bible, the King James Version of the year 1611 CE. Iesus transformed from the name Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Will God honor belief in a name (Jesus) he never revealed as the name of salvation? If we chose Jesus, as the name of salvation, a name that came into being through linguistic evolution, are not the names Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, counterfeits? The angel did not speak to Joseph in English (Jesus), Latin (Iesus), or in Greek (Iesous).
Why is this even an issue?
The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). This excludes any other name, or names, not revealed from Heaven! The name “Jesus” is there in the New Testament, and if it did not get there by the revelation of God, then why is it in the Bible? It was authorized by the traditions of men and not the revelation of God. That would make the name Jesus a counterfeit name, and therefore, not honored by God. Now what do we do? We failed the requirements of the Law, which if obeyed afforded us righteousness and acceptance to God the Father, and therefore eternal life, and we do not have the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved!
And God never revealed the names of Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous, so what is the revealed name of salvation? So what do we do? We must find the name of our salvation in the Word of God, and not according to the tongue of man!
Let’s start, with a man by the name of Saul, a Jewish religious leader, who was commissioned to go to Damascus to arrest and prosecute Jewish believers in Christ. Later he gives this testimony of his journey to king Agrippa, “While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am YAHSHUA, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 26:12-15). We know that Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous are not Hebrew names, therefore, Christ did not reveal those names.
Did Saul, who now is an Apostle, who afterwards went by the name of Paul, and who was sent by Christ to preach the Gospel of Christ, actually hear the name “YAHSHUA”? This is a very unique name, and it would likely be considered a philological impossibility by linguistics today. But notice, that the name YAHSHUA has the prefix of YAH. What does prefix mean? A prefix can be a letter or group of letters that may be added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning. Shua means “my help”, as in “salvation.” Therefore Shua is modified by YAH, and literally means, “I AM Salvation.” YAH is part of the true name of God, and we praise this name by saying, “Halleluyah,” which means “Praise YAH!” The meaning of YAH is “I AM.” Many believe the name of the God of the Bible to be YAHWEH. YAH is “I AM”, but “weh”, who knows?
Where did we get the name YAH?
Short answer, the name YAH was revealed to Moses. “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM” [that is: “HaYAH Ashar HaYAH,” HaYAH means “the I AM”] And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM [YAH] has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:13-14). YAH is “the name which is above every name.”
Did the apostle Paul hear “the name which is above every name” on the road to Damascus? Yes, he did, as his testimony clearly reveals. He did not hear the name Jesus, but he heard the name YAH, and he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).
What is truly being said here?
The Christ has “the name which is above every name,” YAH.
We, all creatures, are to bow before this name YAHSHUA!
Every language, every tongue, is to know this one revealed name from Heaven!
Any name not revealed by God is a counterfeit name, and therefore tantamount to idolatry!
Any name not revealed by God is not the name of salvation, whereby we must be saved!
To reject the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved is to stand and be condemned already (John 3:18).

“Faith is trusting in God’s integrity.” Wonderful definition!! I absolutely love listening to you, Ray!! God bless you!! 🙏🏻
Ray Comfort has the best delivery of the Gospel. He makes me weep when they accept the salvation of Jesus Christ into their Lives.
Ray comfort has a false gospel
He is a lying little worm !! The problem is that he actually believes his own lies, because first he lied to himself. The truth is that his own impending death frightened him so much that he formed a delusion to comfort himself. Since then he has conned, deceived, and lied his way into a good income for himself, a much more lucrative outcome than he knew previously. LOL He lied and claimed he could prove God scientifically . . . which o course he has failed to do . . . just like every other such claimant !!!!

I love the way Ray ministers to those on the street, he doesn’t argue with them or condemn them, but he shows there by the word the error of there ways, and win them like that, those that will listen, may God continue to bless him and his endeavors
Ray Comfort is the tool God used to bring me out of religion and into relationship with him. Very cool!
I was a good Mormon kid from Southern California and I had a similar experience. I had joined the Navy and was stationed in Norfolk Virginia as an aircraft mechanic. I strayed a bit off the path for a couple of years and I had a similar experience. I had attended a friends end of the season Lifeguards party at an old Coast Guard Station 30 miles , or so from the Air Station. Everyone was smoking dope and drinking and I believe something was in one of the joints I shared and I sort of blacked out, really blacked out. My friends say I got on that Triumph 500, started it , said goodbye , and the miracle was, I made it the 30 miles home, and I remember none of it, maybe just one traffic light and it all went black again. I woke up the next morning in my own bed, with my motorcycle parked in front of my apartment, and no memory of the trip home, except for maybe that one traffic light. I quit everything that day, and got back on the path like my parents taught me and never strayed again. I know someone watched over me and I never forgot that night.
Did you nothear his testimony about Christ? He is not the same Jesus as your parents taught you. It is not works that save you ,but only the grace ofJesus Christ. Read the Book ofJohn.
in order to be saved you cannot be a Mormon, they believe Satan and Jeus were brothers, you need to read the gospels, repent and put your trust alone in Jesus not your works
@juliabrooks6556 It may shock you, but we do believe in Christ and in his Gospel. I do have a testimony of Jesus Christ and his eternal sacrifice . I'm sorry if you want to believe that.
Ray Comfort is the man! Was hoping you guys would interview him…can’t wait!
He's got another gospel.
@@colonalklink14 agree to disagree
@@micahstory We can't agree to disagree on the gospel message.
Ray Comfort has an accursed gospel.
Absolutely nobody has ever been saved by repenting of their sins.
Jonah 3: 10 calls turning from sins, "works."
Furthermore, sin is transgression of the law, therefore, repentance of sins is law keeping and is certainly a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation.
How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance?
God grants repentance unto the acknowledgement of the truth.
*Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn ( repent ) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*
If repentance of sins helps save you in any way then it had better be perfect repentance.
God's standard is absolute perfection not your best efforts.
Trying doesn't count.
Not even one sin is allowed to be in Heaven.
The book of James says that if you follow the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all.
Oops, so much for helping out with your salvation by attempting to repent of your sins.
When you have believed on Christ alone for salvation then you have repented unto life!
Ray Comfort has a faith plus works equals salvation gospel and he's going to split Hell wide open someday.
Unfortunately his a heretic, Unless you take the body and blood of Jesus Christ you have no life in you! John 6:53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
@@joehun1 it’s really sad to see Christians who are obsessed with “heresy hunting”. To me, it seems to be more important to them than actually spreading the gospel. Ray is a genuine Christian who’s life very clearly reflects the teachings of Christ. You may disagree with him on some specific doctrine, but that doesn’t make him a heretic.
Talk about a fisher of men.
This man Ray Comfort is.
Simple. Not flashy.
Just plain gospel.
Just not Gospel TRUTH.
Why do you say that?
Thank you Lord Jesus for this mans testimony. Thank you for answering my prayers and for blessing me with another day and so much more. You are worthy to be peaised and glorified. In your name Lord God I pray, Amen
What Ray said about family is so true 😭 your actions and love speak louder to them! I definitely came in very hard on my family with lots of passion and zeal too 😅 I am learning to pray for divine opportunities to share about Jesus now
I trust God to encounter them all in His own way 🙏 I let go of control and I stand joyfully waiting for the day my family gets saved!
Hi just found you “by accident”. I love hearing testimonies of how God saved and is using people; it is always encouraging and educational, and it builds faith. I have learnt a lot from watching Ray Comfort so I was excited to hear his testimony. Thank you. Now I am looking forward to seeing who else’s story is on your channel.
God bless ray! I committed to sharing the gospel with 3-5 people a week in 2017 after watching your videos. It’s the highlight of each of my week. Many blessings to you!

Explain pls
@@jessiska2468 He says that you must repent of your sins and trust Christ alone for salvation.
How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance ( repenting of sins )?
You absolutely can't.
The entire book of John says believe about 99 times no mention of repentance.
When you have believed on Christ alone for salvation then you have repented unto life!
Jonah 3:10, " And God saw their *works* that they turned from their wicked way and God repented of the evil that He would do unto them and He did it not."
*Repentance of sins is works.*
Furthermore; sin is transgression of the law, therefore, repentance of sins is *law keeping* and is certainly a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation.

*Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*
So it's plain and simple that Ray Comfort has another gospel of faith plus works equals salvation nonsense.
Works based. He says you must turn from sin to be saved. We are saved by grace through faith alone. Not of our works.
@@Covelioyou must turn from sin (2 Timothy 2:19). Gospel is repent and believe.

This was a very insightful interview and testimony. Thank you. I have participated with Ray by distributing some of the literature he has produced over the years and I believe it to be effective in planting the seeds of the gospel for the lost world to come to know. I have never met Ray in person but of all of the people I have met in my life, and I have met many over the years, he hasn't ever exhibited anything but genuineness and sincerity in his love for our Adon, Yahushua ha' Mashiach. < ```
Contrary to Eric, I kept watching Ray's video because I'm not getting bored, and it was easy for me to understand the gospel when it gets repeated every single time. God bless you.

@@Covelio I have never heard Ray speak about being saved by works. I think people may be confused about that when he speaks of the works Jesus did so that we may be saved. This is from the living waters website that explains that. "The supreme need of all human beings is to be reconciled to the God under whose just and holy wrath we stand; the only hope of all human beings is the undeserved love of this same God, who alone can rescue us and restore us to Himself through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross."
Wow ! This was amazing and quite a surprise.
I have been a one foot in and one foot Out kind of gal, for the past few years. I’m positive this behavior grieves the Lord after listening to this man speak. I’m a mother and I know how it feels to be rejected by my son. Once upon a time, I was all in .it was life-saving and life changing. Looking back I never did give my whole self. I waited for the shoe to drop and it did.
The Lord has remained kind to me… Even in all my reluctance. I hope that my continual turning into listen to this man and reading the word the way, I once did restores my heart and my faith ❤
Thank you for your sincerity and loving Jesus, and getting the word out there❤
I love this! I’ve been following Ray for a while and it was what eventually got me to stop being a lukewarm Christian. Delafé Testimonies also inspired me to do this as well. God bless everyone.
He mentioned being bored hearing Ray say the same thing over and over again but honestly for me it never gets old. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time every time Ray says what he says to people because who can ever get bored of the truth? Who can ever get bored of seeing people open their eyes to the truth? And when they are hearing the truth for the first time, it's like I'm also hearing it for the first time even though I already know it, just because God's love and God's truth are the most beautiful thing to my soul's ears.
It doesn't bore me either there is always something more to receive because God's word is Spirit and life!

Let no man deceive you…
Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV)
What’s the will of the Father for us?
John 6:40
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV)
The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏

Glad to hear Ray´s testimony after following the Living Waters Channel for a few months. I am one of those who had said the sinner´s prayer over and over and nothing happened. Still don ´t „feel“ saved, but after years of doubt had come to put my trust in Rom. 10:13. Over decades knowledge of sin has grown and I have come to trust the Spirit testifying to my spirit that I am a child of God. Not emotions, just supernatural knowledge.
Great testimony Ray Comfort. Years ago I bought your version of the Old & New Testament called THE COMFORT BIBLE. There in is a world of helpful ways to evangelize. Thank you so much, God bless ❤ 🙏🏼 in Jesus' precious Name. Amen
Thanks Ray and Delafé for this encouragement. Both of you are truly a comfort 😊.

God bless you so much Ray. You played a huge part in my life when I was a false convert at 18 years old and didn't even know it. I read Hell's Best Kept Secret and I believe a multitude of seeds were planted. I was born again and filled with the Spirit at 24, and now at 35 I can honestly say that not only have those seeds sown by your book and your witnessing clips produced a bountiful harvest in me, but I have also been able to sow seeds I've learnt through your pure, scriptural ministry into others lives over the years. You've been an inspiration to me and an encouragement from age 18 to now and you and your love and thankfulness to God will always hold a special place in my heart. And it totally resonates with me what you said in your amazing testimony, the thankfulness I have to God for saving me from certain spiritual death living as a false convert, it brings me to tears still now as if i was saved yesterday. Glory to God most high ❤

What hit me hard in this testimony is when you speak on faith meaning to "trust in God's integrity." That was awesome! To talk about the trust we have in soo many things or people... I was just talking to someone about the trust we have in Rollercoasters to flip us and speed us around at G forces lol how much more trust we SHOULD really have in God!! Awesome!!
Excellent interview! Lovely interviewer and interviewee! Praise the LORD for Mr. Ray Comfort because he’s taught and inspired so many of us how to evangelize and get the Gospel out there…🙌🏼✝️🙌🏼
What a blessing. I watch living waters all the time. The work he does is truly amazing. God bless Mr. Ray Comfort🙏❤️✝️
I grew up without God in my home either. But I had an encounter with demons and Satan… then Jesus 🙌🏻 2 years ago that changed my life. Hallelujah I have been following Delafe and Living Waters ever since
Follow no one except Jesus! Men make mistakes,Jesus does not. You can learn and grow from people yes,but to follow man shows lack of discernment
I mean no offense but in these last days,following people is getting many into deception which the bible warns about.
Psalm 118:8-9
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
Amen
@@MumOfManyForTheGloryOfGod I appreciate your heart, but yes, i met Jesus! Of course I follow Him now 🤗I don’t follow TH-cam channels OVER Jesus. What I was saying was I am subscribed ☑️ lol
The whole last half of this video is the most important. If I could extract it to make a smaller video clip, then I would. It's so crucial for everyone to hear, including seasoned mature Christians.
I had a similar experience on LSD where i saw every house on a street i was riding down and could see the struggles of everyone in those homes and the seeming futility of life and it affected me so deeply. But i didn't find the Lord for about 3 more years after the loss of my closest sibling in a tragic way. Thanks for sharing your testimony and mostly for teaching us how to share the gospel - the Good News starts with the bad news.
His voice sounded so familiar until I realized Ive watched his gospel videos ❤️ Amazing ❤️
I have one of Ray’s books and I have watched many videos. He is a inspiration for me and I am sure others. I pray the Lord gives you many years to do the good works.🙏
Ray Comfort is just so comforting! His videos are great and I love how God uses him to spread the Gospel 🙏
A false works based gospel of turning from your sins, working to be saved! Let no man deceive you…
Matthew 7:21
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV)
What’s the will of the Father for us?
John 6:40
“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (KJV)
The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏
@@Covelio. What are you Covello, mute? Every scripture you’ve quoted is in line with what Ray is saying.
The problem with people like you is that you come to the Lord by the Grace of God & somehow in your experience you come to believe that you have a monopoly on the scriptures.
Do you truly believe you know more than this brother of 50+ years?
You sound like a new convert full of zeal with no knowledge (Prov 19:2);
Maybe a Calvanist has invaded your walk with Christ & you’ve been duped by the 5- points of Calvinism which is the real false doctrine. You believe you can live anyway you want and still go to heaven. You now make everything you hear concerning the doctrine of Christ into works because it helps you believe the sins you’re committing are okay and you don’t have to struggle with the Holy Spirit conviction that more than likely has turned into guilt from knowing your disobeying God.
You’re now loving your sin so much you won’t/can’t let go!
You don’t truly believe you can live like hell & still have salvation waiting for you with your intentional choice of sin in your life however, you can’t change it because you’re in bondage. REPENT! Or is that WORKS TOO?
Even the fool is considered wise if he keeps his mouth shut!……(Proverbs 17:28)…. Paraphrased, but I’m sure you get it!!…..Get right or get left!…..🙏
Thank you for sharing. I loved this. Ray Comfort is one of the men of God who helped me to come to a real relationship with Jesus christ. I am so grateful for his work. (PS. New Zealand needs him back 😉)
Im a catholic, and i do think that Ray is wonderful. I think Jesus Our Lord works wonders in so many different spheres, and Ray must have encouraged hundreds - thousands - to re evaluate their lives in the light of Christ. 🙏❤️🙏
If you understand & believe what the Catholic Church teaches, you are headed for hell. I say that because I care enough to tell you the truth. Read your Bible. Galatians and Romans would be a great starting point. Your church denies the Gospel. They believe Protestants are headed to hell for the same reason. If you care enough about your own eternal destiny , let the scriptures decide.
We both can’t be right!
Love ray’s ministry! I have learned much from it.
This man is a true evangelist. Spends 10% of the time telling his story and 90% of the time preaching the gospel .
It's such a blessing to see this channel grow and with the vast different guests that are brought for us to learn so much from 🙏
May God continue blessing you and I hope one day I will be able to share my testimony
I love Ray Comfort. His videos have helped me as a Christian to stop being lukewarm.
Same here!
Let no man deceive you… your works won’t save you:

@@Coveliothe original comment didn't say "I was saved by my works" or "if I don't do works I will loose my salvation or "Ray Comfort saved me".
What was even the point of your response?
@@johndavolta3124 because Ray Comfort is sharing a false works based gospel.
@@Coveliolet no man deceive you. Faith without works is dead.
I knew Jesus since I was a little boy but I didn’t have any Christian instruction except to pray. I got baptized Catholic at 13. Family stopped going to church and since I didn’t understand the Bible and only would pray. I believed salvation was works based. I believed that bastard children don’t go to heaven I was scared. I would bargain with God. I fell away as a teenager when I started pursuing losing my virginity. My falling out with God lasted till I was 22-23 in 2021 and found the truth through your videos Ray Comfort. It led me to give up on myself and seek God and in a few months after God blessed me with a woman that I would come to marry a couple months after repentance. We connected on Jesus and got married the same year. Something I never seen coming. It was quick and I am deeply appreciative to God that I found your interviews. Thank you Jesus Thank you Ray Comfort.
I have followed Ray Comfort for many years now and still, when he speaks - - - I listen. He is always candid and truth-filled because of Christ in him. He has taught me to evangelize with confidence and not give up. I am thankful for this man of God and his ministry. God bless you Ray❣️ 🙏🏼 GodsgalMN - aka Lori / Minnesota ✝️
Oh Wow what a surprise to see Ray Comfort in this ministry. Wonderful! God bless Delafé! What a blessing to have him share more about his testimony, and something he hadn't shared before that's so personal.
What a good way to start 2024 with the testimony of this man. I don't know much about him, the comment section just showed he is popular.
I can't wait to hear the goodness of the Living God
Ray I’m almost 40 now but still cry when you speak about our Lord. Thank you for being a good roll model for the rest of us.
This has been so helpful! Praying for all of us ✝️🕊️🙏🏼💜
You, are the Best Person I have Ever Heard, street preaching. Your Love, for those you speak to, comes across in Every story 😉 I 🙏🏼 I will see you in Forever in the Glory of Our King 👑
Ray Comforts videos really opened my eyes and helped me substantially in my walk with Jesus. Im so excited to see his testimony here!
It was so good to hear Ray Comforts testimony, I watch many of his videos. Thank you so much for interviewing him. It was so easy to listen to and thank you Ray for praying for many of us that want to be a better testimony to others I often do share the gospel with many people, but I want to do more, so thank you for praying for me. God bless you shalom.💜✡️✝️
I really enjoyed this testimony. My Bible study teacher uses Ray’s videos sometimes to spark a discussion. I’m glad he was able to partner with y’all to get his testimony recorded. A prayer request for me: please pray for the salvation of my family - especially my brother Charles. Thank you!
He's got another gospel.
@@colonalklink14 Instead of commenting the same false allegation on every comment, why don’t you say why you think that and what the gospel is.
@@blue-eyedbarber1935 He says that it's not by works, he says that it's a free gift, then immediately tells you to work.
That's a false gospel of faith plus works equals salvation nonsense.
Jonah 3:10 calls turning from sins," works."
" And God saw their *works* that they turned from their wicked way and God repented of the evil that He would do unto them and He did it not."
*Repentance of sins is works.*
Furthermore; sin is transgression of the law, therefore, repentance of sins is *law keeping* and is certainly a lifetime of works and has never saved anyone or contributed in any way to salvation.
Galatians 2: 16, 2: 21, Ephesians 2: 8 ,9, 10, Romans 3: 28, Romans 4: 5, 6, and Romans 11: 6, clearly seperate faith from works of any kind (Mosaic Law or the laws written on our hearts).
If repentance *of sins* helps save you in any way then it had better be perfect repentance.
God's standard is absolute perfection, not your best efforts.
Trying doesn't count.
Not even one sin is allowed to be in Heaven.
The book of James says that if you follow the whole law and offend in one point you are guilty of all.
Oops, so much for helping out with your salvation by attempting to repent of your sins.
God grants repentance unto the acknowledgement of the truth.
*Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*
Ray says trust Christ alone for salvation.
How can you possibly trust Christ alone for salvation when you are also trusting in your performance?
He's got another gospel of faith plus works equals salvation nonsense.
The entire book of John says believe about 99 times no mention of repentance.
When you have believed on Christ *alone* for salvation then you have repented unto life!
@@colonalklink14 What matters is that I follow the true Gospel that can be found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
@@apsalmlikegrace That's the right gospel.
However, let's face it, Ray adds a lifetime of works to the gospel message.
“Preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words.” St. Francis 😊 Blessings on you and your witness, brother Ray.
thank you for being truthful and transparent Ray! I admire your faith and courage! I believe ppl believe because we are truthful and do not hide our failures! my greatest joy is giving a Bible to someone with the hopes they are curious to feel LOVE they will NEVER feel from any human being. God bless you!!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing this! We love Ray Comfort ! I laughed when Ray shared his spiritual birthday! It may have been the same day as mine in 1972!!! Ray is totally correct about those who are forgiven much love much!!! My family basically thought I was crazy… however after reading Mark 3, I laughed because Jesus’s family thought HE was out of HIS mind! Jesus understands us passionate followers!! Thanks Ray! Most of all THANK YOU LORD!!!!
Let no man deceive you… your works won’t save you. Turning from sin won’t save you.

I'm so excited to see Ray here!! This channel and His has been such an incredible blessing. I thank God for you fellas. ❤❤❤❤
I just love brother Ray share the Gospel so wonderfully with real zeal and burden. This is the first time I am hearing his testimony and I am really so glad to hear it. God bless you dear brother and use you mightily.
I remember you challenging the “Wizard” in the Christchurch Square early 1970s. I bought your book “My friends are dying” and gave it to my brother in law, whom was really affected by it. Blessings to you and your work.
I've known of and admired Ray Comfort for a long time but never more than after watching this video. It's great to see him be so vulnerable and relatable. Praise God!
Great way to start the New Year with Ray’s testimony.
Ray Comfort is so COMFORTING 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 listening to his testimony was so wonderful. Ray Comfort sincerely loves everyone and is an inspiration for all to be more like Christ. Thank you for featuring him 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
Praises to God Ray for calling you out of darkness into His marvellous light that you may proclaim His mighty acts. Thank you for yielding to His calling and what awesome work He's doing through you in sharing the gospel ❤🙏
Ray is such an inspiration!! Love his channels, and his evident gratitude and selfless, genuine love for lost souls. Awesome testimony video Eric.
Thank you Ray for your testimony and por your pasión for the lost souls . Thank for your teaching and testimonios. My husband and I met you in NZ long time ago.
I enjoy listen to you testifian and see how people open they heart to God. Thanks one more for all I learnt from you. God bless😊
Great testimony brother I can relate unfortunately I spent many years in the drug culture acid was a big part of it many trips but God had his hands on me through out my life God bless you and your ministry brother ….✝️✝️✝️🇨🇦 13:40
If your ministry ever comes to the UK. I would love to volunteer to be part of this amazing project. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ray did you live near New Brighton as a kid? I remember watching you preach in the Square with the Wizard over to the right. So glad I came to Jesus, even if it was 41 years later.
As you were speaking (at 24min) about fear of death, I was thinking, "I'm not afraid of dying," and then I thought WAY BACK to when I was a little girl and had a nightmare of demons pulling me away from my parents and my big brother, and in the dream, that I would never see them again. .. One night, my dad was tucking me into bed, and I told him I didn't want to go to sleep, because of the nightmare. My parents took me to the living room and explained to me about Jesus and salvation. And that when they die, they will be in heaven. I made Jesus my Lord that night. Of course, I don't remember everything in that conversation, as I was VERY young. But as we walk with the Lord and "work out our own salvation," we learn and grow more, so though I was saved at a young age, I continue to grow more as I submit to Him each area of my life.
.. (I was BOrn in '72.) .. So I don't fear death NOW, but I guess I did once. 😄
I’m grateful for your story. 😊 I wouldn’t have thought of sharing the Gospel after a nightmare but it’s actually the most important way to respond, leading your child to Jesus and reassuring them we are always connected in Christ and will be together again. I feel more prepared for this situation for my children in the future, thank you God bless ❤
För fyra år sedan såg jag en av Rays vidio för första gången. På den tiden var jag inte frälst och höll på med new age och new thinking. Genom Rays vidio öppnade Gud mina ögon och jag förstod äntligen vem Jesus var och vad han gjorde på korset. Att han älskar mig och dog för mina synder❤️✝️ efter den dagen beslutade jag mig för att följa Jesus och aldrig mer tillbaka gå.
Tack Delafé för ert arbete☺️ och fortsätt med att dela budskapet vad Jesus gör i människors liv ❤️🙌
Hallelujah Praise god!
@@theartistcherrypi6454 The shocking truth is that Jesus will not save you. That’s right! Jesus will not save you, or anyone else, and here’s why, and to help you realize this, consider the following facts:
Sin has separated you from God, the Father, the life-giving Spirit, and you have no access to His Holy Spirit while you are burdened and covered with sin. Without God, the life-giving Spirit, you will die without any hope of redemption and eternal life. You were born into a world of good and evil due to the fall of Adam, your original father, and the father of all mankind, and also due to your sins, God is far from you, and He will not redeem you. We, who are separated from God, and separated from the giver of life, which is why our lives end. Without righteousness, you have no access to God, the Father. To establish righteousness, God’s law was revealed to us, which can lead to righteousness, however, you, and everyone else on the planet, fell short of obeying the law of God, and now the law condemns you, and everyone, as all have fallen short of righteousness. But here is the good news, of ‘the Gospel,’ “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’” (John 3:16-18). What is His name? What is the revealed name of the Savior, the only begotten Son of God?
In Matthew 1:21, the angel commanded Joseph, a descendant of king David and betrothed husband of Mary, to give the newly born Savior, the only begotten of God the Father, the virgin-born Son of God, a specific name. But, did the angel give the name of “Jesus”? And this begs the question, can we change the name of salvation revealed from Heaven? The shocking fact is that the name “Jesus” has only existed since the 17th century CE! Before the name Jesus (gee-sus) existed, it was Iesus (ee-sus), as found in the Bible, the King James Version of the year 1611 CE. Iesus transformed from the name Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Will God honor belief in a name (Jesus) he never revealed as the name of salvation? If we chose Jesus, as the name of salvation, a name that came into being through linguistic evolution, are not the names Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, counterfeits? The angel did not speak to Joseph in English (Jesus), Latin (Iesus), or in Greek (Iesous).
Why is this even an issue?
The apostle Peter gave this testimony: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). This excludes any other name, or names, not revealed from Heaven! The name “Jesus” is there in the New Testament, and if it did not get there by the revelation of God, then why is it in the Bible? It was authorized by the traditions of men and not the revelation of God. That would make the name Jesus a counterfeit name, and therefore, not honored by God. Now what do we do? We failed the requirements of the Law, which if obeyed afforded us righteousness and acceptance to God the Father, and therefore eternal life, and we do not have the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved!
And God never revealed the names of Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous, so what is the revealed name of salvation? So what do we do? We must find the name of our salvation in the Word of God, and not according to the tongue of man!
Let’s start, with a man by the name of Saul, a Jewish religious leader, who was commissioned to go to Damascus to arrest and prosecute Jewish believers in Christ. Later he gives this testimony of his journey to king Agrippa, “While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am YAHSHUA, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 26:12-15). We know that Jesus, Iesus, or Iesous are not Hebrew names, therefore, Christ did not reveal those names.
Did Saul, who now is an Apostle, who afterwards went by the name of Paul, and who was sent by Christ to preach the Gospel of Christ, actually hear the name “YAHSHUA”? This is a very unique name, and it would likely be considered a philological impossibility by linguistics today. But notice, that the name YAHSHUA has the prefix of YAH. What does prefix mean? A prefix can be a letter or group of letters that may be added to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning. Shua means “my help”, as in “salvation.” Therefore Shua is modified by YAH, and literally means, “I AM Salvation.” YAH is part of the true name of God, and we praise this name by saying, “Halleluyah,” which means “Praise YAH!” The meaning of YAH is “I AM.” Many believe the name of the God of the Bible to be YAHWEH. YAH is “I AM”, but “weh”, who knows?
Where did we get the name YAH?
Short answer, the name YAH was revealed to Moses. “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM” [that is: “HaYAH Ashar HaYAH,” HaYAH means “the I AM”] And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM [YAH] has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:13-14). YAH is “the name which is above every name.”
Did the apostle Paul hear “the name which is above every name” on the road to Damascus? Yes, he did, as his testimony clearly reveals. He did not hear the name Jesus, but he heard the name YAH, and he writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).
What is truly being said here?
The Christ has “the name which is above every name,” YAH.
We, all creatures, are to bow before this name YAHSHUA!
Every language, every tongue, is to know this one revealed name from Heaven!
Any name not revealed by God is a counterfeit name, and therefore tantamount to idolatry!
Any name not revealed by God is not the name of salvation, whereby we must be saved!
To reject the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved is to stand and be condemned already (John 3:18).
So happy to hear Ray's testimony! I am so encouraged by how he evangelizes!
It is amazing how God brought Ray to Himself. He is my favorite street preacher. He does a fantastic job showing people the 10 commandments and the sin that is in their hearts. It is so touching when a person sees the light. Thank you Ray, for sharing your love for Jesus with lost sinners. I love your accent. I love your ministry. God bless you, Brother.💖
He's got another gospel.
Yea and then he deceived people with his turning from sin to be saved BS. Let no man deceive you…

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (KJV)

The will of the Father is to believe on the son for salvation. Born again. Once a son always a son. He will never leave nor forsake us. Sealed until the day of redemption. You can’t lose you salvation. You cant work for a free gift. Once saved always saved. Amen 🙏
Thank you for Blessing us through Obedience to JESUS! Wishing everyone a prosperous new Year :)
Amen!!
Thank you, Ray Comfort. God bless you with blessing upon blessing.
I find myself floating back and forth between doing recovery and being in recovery...his definition of doing recovery brings me guilt and shame...it makes tell myself i have to work harder at being in recovery. I'll need to listen to this again.
So grateful for your testimony and your works and ministry over the years Ray. God bless you and your family. Thank you too Delafe for this channel. 🙏💜
Heyyyy, it's Ray! Wow! I've always wanted to hear his whole testimony. I love Ray's ministry, Living Waters. And his videos are such an education on how to witness and share the gospel and such a blessing to watch. I love seeing people come to Christ. ...This is a treat!
Ray Comfort is a great catalyst towards positivity in one’s life. My first time hearing of him. Thank you for sharing.
I am thankful to you Ray for sharing this, because it is incredibly validating to my own experience.
I used to be this person, who was a thrill seeker, and would take drugs, just for fun. Well I also heard about their therapeutic benefits (in clinical settings) and thought I'd try to fix my own problems by taking hallucinogens.
One day I was taking mushrooms and was crying about trauma that had happened to me as a child. I began to ponder about how interesting PTSD is. You can be happy and fine, not remembering things for years. Then one day, bam! It's like these painful memories are locked away in the back of your mind, stored there until you're old enough to sort them out.
I thought (as a new age, occultic, agnostic) that evolution couldn't have produced that! Love must have put that there, to preserve a child's mind from insanity. Love did that!
In that moment it was almost like, idk how to put it into words because despite being on mushrooms, it was a supernatural experience. I was in the presence of God (I now believe it to be the Holy Spirit) and I began to weep, because I realized how wrong I had been living my life. Chasing after all the wrong things. I was on my knees weeping, sobbing. Then without words I was given the sense that we are living in the end times, time is short! It is imminent! It was very fearful. I was also almost shown all of the bible, that it was true. It made sense if only for a moment before it was hidden from my mind again.
It shook me to the core of my being. It (this experience) changed me. I have never been the same again. I became a believer that day. It was September 2017 and let me tell you, since then the signs have gotten so frequent I can't even watch anymore. It is evident and apparent that the end is imminent.
I don't tell many people about this because I don't want to cause confusion, about my conversion. That I condone taking drugs or anything like that. I also don't want people to condemn what happened and tell me it wasn't real. But it was. It shook my inner spirit. It put the fear of God into me. I KNOW Yahweh is real!!
I believe you! And I wish he would speak like this to me. I asked him many times but there is silence. I still believe there is a creator, I will always even if he decides to not say hi to me. It makes me sad but I believe even if I am a sad believer I m still saved. It just would be so much easier for me to tell other ppl if I just had a real testimony.
@@jisue3517What do you think a real testimony is? Do you think it's only someone who has had lived a very wayward life?
What about those who are brought up loving Jesus and have kept on the straight and narrow? Sure, they are not perfect but in my mind I always wonder what that must be like and HOW do they do it without becoming self righteous? How do they keep going for Jesus when there are so many temptations on every side? When you think about it..a faithful follower of Christ is the best testimony of all.
