    I was 5 years of chronic illness. Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.
    But God did an amazing work. And if he can do this, he can do it in you also. 😇🙏
    I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also.
    *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🙌
    *All things are possible with God*

    Thank you Pastor John for unwinding misconception of the facts.

    God will inevitably receive glory from his creation because he is perpetually glorious independent of it, while at the same time, everything in creation points back to God's nature and character in its origin, present continuance and ultimate destiny. The more of God's nature and character is displayed in a created thing, the more glorious he appears, therefore mankind gives glory to God more than any other created things.
    This is an astounding, terrifying, and yet honorable reality with the implication that every human being who has ever existed will bring glory to God in one of two catergories. Either 1. God will be seen as glorious in his saving mercy, grace and love when his elect people are saved through faith in Jesus Christ and united with him in Heaven for all eternity worshipping and enjoying him, or 2. God will be seen as glorious in his awesome, just wrath upon the reprobate who did not repent and place their faith in Christ Jesus unto salvation, but instead died in their sin and went on to receive what their actions deserve.
    Therefore, we don't have to enjoy God to bring him glory because his glory doesn't depend on our will. In the negative sense, we will bring glory to God by merely existing even if our souls are lost forever because God's nature and character is displayed in eternal justice. In the positive sense, in order to bring glory to God by further displaying his mercy, grace and love through our thanksgiving and acceptable, honorable obedience, we MUST enjoy God. One cannot be a true disciple who seeks to love God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and who loves not their life in this world but lays it down as a living sacrifice to God if they don't first, by God's grace in making them born again and granting them repentance and faith, find him supremely satisfying and worthy of such an offering. We should examine ourselves to see if we are bringing glory to God by merely existing and storing up wrath for ourselves by our idolatry, or if we are intentionally bringing glory to God by enjoying him and living out the results of that enjoyment that are our worship of him rather than anything or anyone else, for God will be glorified in us all even though many of us unfortunately won't benefit eternally in the glory that God's receives as his nature and character is imposed upon us to the fullest extent. Oh, what wisdom!!!
    I pray God's grace and mercy upon us all. Please, Holy Father, draw the lost and preserve your gathered sheep by your love and choose for yourself the greater glory that is our being conformed to the image of your Son Jesus Christ so that we love you, worship you and enjoy you forever because of the revelation in our hearts by the Holy Spirit of how worthy and altogether lovely you are. Please manifest yourself and open the eyes of our hearts, in Christ's name. Amen! 🙏🙌

    By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples. John 15:8- Jesus is very specific here. He says by this; not these, nor this and perhaps something else. Jesus says by This action of bearing fruit for the kingdom of God. However it can only be born of the relationship we have in Christ. I am the vine and you are the branches; if you abide in Me as I abide in you, you bear much fruit, apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:5.

    Enjoyment and glorification would go hand in hand for a Christian hedonist.

    By that exegesis of Exodus, was Pharaoh not allowed access to heaven? Was he born to be destroyed in wrath by a loving God?

    After years of praising God's name, I don't see how anybody can still think they actually know without evidential reasoning, for a God's existence. Anything is possible, just not through faith which is pretty much the same thing as having hope about a story turning true. Faith is hope without any reasonable evidence. So I don't know how people claim, "just have faith" is showing evidential facts about the Bible and it's claims. I hope someone can one day show me evidence, cause I've been doing this for 50 years of my life now, and still, no evidence. Only the Bible, and people claiming that the Bible is evidence! When that doesn't make any sense, cause the Bible is a man made book, from who knows who and where it actually came from. I'm open for the truth, but from what I can tell, I think I know the truth, there is no God. And if there is, he did a lousy job of keeping people believing in him.

      Hello sir. Now, I am no scholar, so you can go watch Ravi Zacharias, RC Sproul, Cross Examined, John MacArthur, and other men who do apologetics if you want evidence of Gods existence and why the Bible is true. Also things like Paul’s conversion, the historical facts of the Bible, And so on, but I will give you what I can that’s apart from that. The regeneration of the heart, is a modern miracle God does to take fallen nasty creatures and reshape them into holy beings (this happens once we repent and put our faith in Christ alone). Take racists and make them full of love. Put life into people. Christians do know God, and Christ’s presence is such a reality in their life if aliens came an said there is no God they wouldn’t believe. Or God keeping His promises for people who have trusted Him (His provision: see George Muller). Or end times prophecies. But the Bible says God has revealed Himself to you so you are without excuse. I can testify to all I said, and God has worked and I have seen Him work as well as those around me. Hopefully this helped somewhatz
