....................................................
Happy early birthday! mine was today. Your channel has helped me on my way since I've came to Faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you.
Oh man, I've been meditating exactly on the same things. I also regret now what I should had done then, but it is not too late to mend our mistakes, specially when we truly repent before God and forgive ourselves.
God bless you for your great teachings.
@@7childofgod341 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Really grateful you took the time to watch and comment on your special day 🎂🎊
@@offthekirb Thank you!
I got saved during the pandemic. Although Its been hard, the Lord tought me to love my parents. I used to hold so much resentment towards them. But the Lord told be to forgive them, as the Lord has forgiven me. So I the Lord helped me to it. Im so grateful
That’s amazing praise God. It is also important to be born again
John 3:3 says
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Born again is receiving Holy Spirit it is new birth when God makes you his child and you become his.
There is so much to all of this is it impossible to say it all but just trust God with ALL your heart, give everything to him and read the Bible he will teach you so much. God bless
@@ellagolovko6513 Yes! Amen!
That's a wonderful testimony of the Lord's work in you. God bless, and keep walking with Him, even when the going gets tough.
Praise God! Happy for you!
@@gabrxfx Thank You!
I’m so glad God not only saved me but at such a young age, I got saved at 17, I’m 18 now
The absolute best choice you've ever made. Love God and obey him all the days of your life. You will never ever be sin free, yet repent daily and chase after God. It's a beautiful life and the Holy spirit causes radical change. Blessings to you brother
God bless you Caleb!
Hands down the best decision you've ever made in this life.
Thank you brothers and sisters for replying
Same here brother 18 as well. Keep fighting the good fight. 2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lust: but follow rightouesness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. God bless you young brother!
"Don't let what you don't know disturb what you do know"
Needed That!
Saammmee!! Seriosly i gotta tuink about that now, lately ive been very disturbed about what I don't know
Hosea 4,6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Since you rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being My kohen.
Since you forgot the Torah of your God,
just so I will forget your children.
@@natashahersh3083 i think thats talking about rejecting knowlage, not just being yet to know something
@@starlegends3092 would you like to know more ? I can teach you
@@starlegends3092 would you like a closer walk with God ..? Get to know and love him ? I can help with that if you want?
You’re exactly right! I lost my dad at 31, and a few months later I turned 32 and lost my mom four days after I turned 32! It was so hard. I wish I had honored them more.
I'm so sorry, Heather. That's so difficult to cope with so much loss in such a short period of time and being so young. God bless you and give you the peace that surpasses all understanding as you continue to process your grief and may God use you in a powerful way to give hope to others who have lost both parents too soon.
@Deon Harrison You can promptly confess over whatever happened and tell your parents you love them. We learn and grow. Don't let the enemy win by avoiding the pain. Be of good courage and you will have the blessing of peace, Deon. :)
I lost my dad at 24
I’m so sorry for your loss. Be encouraged that you can trust Christ with your past just like you can your future ❤️
I turn 33 in 2 weeks and don’t speak to my father. I’m ashamed
Yes, many “Christian” TH-cam videos are more like “GOSSIP,” so let’s LIKE videos that have GOSPEL focus! Great reflections and Happy Birthday Joe.
Thank you for watching brother Christopher, I sometimes also have a little look at your content! Keep up the great work! - Joe
@@offthekirb My pleasure. I really appreciate how proclaim the Gospel through your videos. Thank you for your encouragement too! May God be glorified.
So true
Such humility. Thankyou Joe for your consistent preaching. Passionate, truthful, on fire for God. May God walk with you always 🙏🙏. I love what, and how, you teach 😊
Bible is enough
Holy Spirit reveals the truth
I'm 67-years young and I never heard my mom and dad argue or have any harsh words to each other. I always thought that maybe they just didn't argue in front of me. It was at my dad's funeral, 22-years ago, that I overheard my mom telling some friends that in the 46-years they were married, they never argued. What a great example of a good marriage and wonderful parents. I learned that I had been truly blessed and I also realized that I am very much like my dad.
That's beautiful sir, praise God for such a Godly marriage!
@@offthekirb Thank you. I always say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If you're dad was like that, you can and will be too. God bless you. I truly enjoy watching your video's.
It is a true blessing to have Christian parents.
You speak from your privilege.
Oh, if only. What a testimony.
I totally wasted my youth, taking drugs and drinking alcohol - Now im 34, with mental health problems, in deep dept, no education, no wife and kids.. but im just so grateful for Jesus. He gave me a new life, and the power through his spirit. In Christ alone, we must find our joy
Amen
Amen brother I am only an early teen but I’ve heard this somewhere but “ it is better to become a Christian at a young age when your heart is soft” that is what I did am I will never regret it, God teaches me, takes care of me, gives me peace, and hears and answers my prayers which I am so thankful for. Also what I realized not too long ago when I prayed that God give me the strong desire to read the Bible, he answered my prayer and when I started reading the Bible deeper I discovered how cruicial it is to know the Bible, you will use what you read every day and the verses you learned to help you get through hardships. People spend their lives living how they please they say “ life is short might as well live a happy life” but eternity is long so might as well prepare for it.
I too comfort myself with food, and I'm vegetarian...and overweight.. I'm praying for self control, I need it! 🙏
Joe I thought you were 30 already, GOD'S knowledge has made you wise beyond your years. Happy birthday in advance 🎉🎉🎉🎂
Thanks brother! I feel older than my age too lol, especially when I look in the mirror!
@@offthekirb same here! Hahaha
Agreed. No worries Joe, you look young but I was also surprised that you are so young for one so wise in the word. Thank you so much for your ministry 🙏
My 8 year old son has recently found your videos and says you are his favorite youtuber. He said that while he was watching your videos he could feel something very special happening on the inside of me, and it changed him. Thank you for making these videos and blessing my little boy! I am a worship pastor, and he has been raised in church, but it took God working through you to open my little fellas eyes. :)
How precious ❤️
Amen! ❤
Those who still have their parents, please take this message to heart. My father has been gone for years and I lost my mother earlier this year. I miss her terribly and there are so many things I wish I had said and done. The time with them is precious. Embrace it and them.
I'm about to turn 31 and I wish I could go back and redo my 20s the right way . You never really take into account how fast these days do go by . I remember the day I turned 20 like it was yesterday and all of a sudden I'm going to be 31 ..... this really spoke to me ... thank you for this
I feel exactly the same except I am about to turn 63!
Yes me too!!! I will soon be 30 and was just thinking of I remember being 18 like it was just yesterday, I wish sometimes So Bad I could re do things, like u said..... But I am just grateful that God has me at where he does now, thanks for sharing this .... As I was literally recently just feeling this very thing, bless you 🙏💜
20 years go bye really fast! I’m 50 and wished I didn’t jumped into relationships so fast. It does take a bite out of your heart! Still haven’t found a man that’s not myopic or Narrcisist.
Wow. My dad called mom evil names and berated her constantly. He was alcoholic like his father. She died young filled with despair and depression. I wish I had parents like yours. However, I know God’s will for me is beyond my understanding. Bless you all watching this video 😇
✝️🙏 Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life: No one cometh unto the Father, but by Him. 🙏✝️
AMEN!
Amen 🥰😍😍❤
I need help
Please I'm in sin I commit sin intentionally know my concious in dead
@@Emet646 The best option would be to put all faith in Jesus Christ alone and repent, but if that doesn’t work, I suggest you consult a friend, or go to a church and seek help. I’ll pray for you. And always remember God loves you.
I’m 36 now, I lost my dad at the age of 29. What he said in #1 hit me in the gut. I miss my dad so much (and many other loved ones lost, before and since), and to watch my dad go was gut-wrenching. And everything changed once he left us. Remember to appreciate the little things, the time you have together with your loved ones. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
I resonated so much with this video! I'm 25. I regret the amount of junk food I used to eat. I also have seen many Christian TH-camrs neck-deep in drama and I have strived to create simple Bible-based videos like yourself. I got married a year ago, and one of the hardest parts for me has been that I can no longer hit the streets with the gospel every week like I used to for years.
Young people: heed Joe's wonderful counsel in this video! Use your singleness and your youthfulness for the Kingdom. There's no greater joy!
(Also, thanks for the calorie-free burger at the end! A small taste of what Heaven will be like: feasting yet not getting overweight 😂)
Thank you for watching Trevor, I didn't realise you'd only been married a year, congratulations! Another extra tip for you would be soak all the wisdom you can from Ray and the other LW team, I was around your age when I started to really learn about evangelism from older evangelists! Blessings - Joe
@@offthekirb Of course! Thank you! 😊
I didn't know you knew I worked for Living Waters. Thanks, brother. I pray I never take it for granted that I get to serve alongside such incredibly faithful and wonderful servants of God here!
God bless you too, brother. 🙏🏼
@@TrevorSheatz I can't remember how I found out, but I remember watching you open air preaching a couple of years ago and also when Ray did a behind scenes video with you in!
I still eat a lot of junk food.
I’ve had the same problem with all the doctrines online. I remember when I doubted my own faith for a while and it was a nightmare……
Stay strong and keep your eyes on the Lord, also if you can take your questions to an older Christian in the faith, they will help massively! - Joe
@@offthekirb Joe...I found I was doing exactly the same thing. So so many Christian utubers slating other preachers and prophet's.. but it was enticing gossip. Over time I found the hypocrisy and contradictions eating away at me, to the point I started to doubt my faith. The Lord has given me discernment and has taken away the desire to watch this stuff now.......it is so damaging
Praise the Lord everyone ❤️✝️✝️✝️❤️
Christ is coming back!!!
Hoping sooner then later Meow✝️😸
I hope it's soon. I'm sick of this world and I want to be with Jesus already.
@@ThomasBoyce5000 Amen!Just keep The Faith!
Hallelujah
Very soon. The writings are on the wall.
Joe, I was saved earlier this year and I’m 21... about to finish my last year in college. I believe the Lord spoke through you to me in this video.
Extremely grateful both of my parents are alive and healthy. Grateful that mom is pursuing the Lord in her own life and praying my dad gets there someday as well. Struggling with the junk food issue right now but thanks be to God it’s starting to turn around.
Blessings to you and your family, Joe. May the Lord keep you and bless you all the days of your life.
You could start by having goodies only on weekends and holidays. Sugar wasn't meant to be eaten daily. Food manufacturers put sugar in everything. Try to make your own food. It's the weekend,so I'm having pancakes. Use xylitol to sweeten things, it will make a difference. You'll get rid of visceral fat. That goes first.
What happened that you became saved?…and what changed for you?
Great to hear of your salvation, Anthony. Let me just give you one strong warning: Don't get entangled in sexual sin (I know it's so easy at your age). Stick closely to Jesus, and stay on track, brother. There is nothing more precious than knowing, and walking with Him.
Joe, Every night when I get in bed, your videos are one of the first that I look for on my IPad..I can relate and understand your teachings so much. When I watch them I have it so they stream in my earbuds and just continue one video after the other. I listen but sometimes after a few videos i fall asleep with you talking in my ears all thru the night. Do you know how precious your voice and your teachings are to my spirit, and subconscious? As my day continues after a night of accidentally leaving your videos talking in my ear, the Holy Spirit is so close and continues to teach me thru the day. I so appreciate your precious voice, your teachings and your love for God..
Blessings sister Mary, I'm very thankful you are finding the Bible teachings helpful, all glory to our wonderful God! - Joe
@@offthekirb yes, all glory to God! And I know ( cuz your personality shines thru a bit) that you wouldn’t want to take the credit. However. God has found favor in your obedience.🙏🏻 thank you.
I wish my dad would be more like me, loving God and putting all his trust in him.
I am long suffering, as you are, deeply pained that my earthly parents show no signs of knowing God. I pray the good Lord reaches out mercifully to your dad in an unmistakeable way. For the praise and glory of our Heavenly Father!
With respect to the first two comments, what convinces you that your beliefs are correct, but doesn't convince your loved ones?
@@coryanderson5210 Thank you Cory! Amen 🙏🏼
Intercede deeply for him.
Ikr it sucks
Good thing I’m still 15. I have so much opportunity to do what God wants me to do. It’s a good thing I have influences such as this to prepare me for the long promised road.
Seth, you're wise for your age. Stay away from sexual sin - it is so destructive.
Get into your Bible, and spend time with the Lord.
May God bless you, our young brother.
No way! My Birthday lands on the 14th as well. My Days of Childhood are coming to an end pretty soon, I’ll be 18. As much as I want to go back and Change some personal mistakes I’ve made, I know that I can’t go back, but I will still be proud with the fact that I chose to Grow and Gain Knowledge. Instead of beating myself up over the mistakes I’ve made I now Choose to say “being 18 is the Time where I start Changing things”.
It's actually the 15th but I messed up my maths on the day I filmed this!
Happy Early birthday, God bless you!
I'm the 28
Happy late birthday.
Amen, brother!
This is the one commandment I can never keep. It’s so hard to respect my parents I don’t have that relationship with them. I don’t regret fighting back at them. It’s so hard. They drive me mental . It’s a constant mental fight every day to keep saying I have to forgive them I have to respect them. The way you put how our body is like a car is really well said and it’s a really good way to look at it. God bless you Joe for all your inspirational videos ❤️
Everyone struggles with something, praying to GOD that you’ll find a way to get trough this
I've been in Christian counseling on and off for years with this. I've suffered verbal and emotional abuse from my parents. I realize it is in part because they had verbally and emotionally abusive parents themselves and were never modeled good, godly parenting. Yet they have chosen not to get help and not to change. So I set boundaries and when I find myself wanting to mouth off, I distance for awhile so as not to sin more with my tongue. Someone explained as we can honor what is honorable about them, like respect their position as parents. When around them in their home, be considerate of their time and space. If they are abusive, leave. Limit the time spent in their space. If they are better behaved in public, meet them publicly at a restaurant or something. Just some thoughts. Hope it helps. Can understand your pain.
I understand the pain. My dad is an alcoholic and my mom sometimes drinks too. Every single weekend they fight and sometimes it’s a span of 3 days straight. It’s hard to be positive when you come and see the same cycle for 15+ years. Only Jesus can change such a habit and not themselves. I keep praying but nothing seems to help
To honor them doesn’t mean to be around them. I don’t know what you all are going through, but all we have to do is respect them. We don’t have to keep being around our parents anymore as adults. Have some distance and ask God to help let every bit of negative feelings go.
I try and with Gods help I can let go
@@jennifercooper3812 I totally understand. I too distance myself from them because it makes it a lot easier not not sin or be angry . My parents are Christian but it’s hard to explain what they are like:.. it’s as if I’ll never be free of them no matter where I am. It’s so depressing they are honourable I’m so many ways but I’m so many ways I have no respect for them anymore I’ve been through too much with them
This has really touched me. I am 42 now, and on my Journey on walking with the Lord. Thank You Joe, for being a big inspiration.
great lesson, Joe. Dad taught me moderation, and I struggle still with overeating. He could make a pack of Lifesavers candy last for weeks, maybe several months. He did teach me to brush your teeth and say your prayers, which I still do. Dad passed when I was 39. I am 63 now and the overeating was amplified trying to find comfort with his passing. The other thing is, in our American Culture, Burger King and Macdonald's encourages us to super size our meals, which is why we have so many overweight people. Also, American's get tons of sugar in our food and drinks. I understand that in Europe, there is less sugar in food. So the key word is don't follow the world's way, follow the way of Jesus.
Love you brother Joe. You are full of grace and love. God bless your ministry and your family 🤗
I couldn't take my eyes away from this video. I often feel like my life is flying by and that I am spending too much time afraid to live. This is really inspirational. Thank you so much Joe, your words are touching more hearts than you know!
The Lord took both of my parents in 2020, one of the biggest reasons was that I didn't appreciate and honor them. It was part of the big smackdown He delivered to me to discipline me for my ungodly and sinful ways. I despise myself for the ways I acted and the road to spiritual recovery is incredibly difficult for me. I'm completely isolated now, I don't have a church , I don't even know a single believer in person. I pray for the Lord's help as I have no other hope.
Where are you from?

One of the most honest ,and transparent TH-cam person I watch is Joe Kirby.
I am grateful for the fact
That me and my parents
Have such a good and healthy relationship
And that
We talk frequently
And that we share many good times
Thank the Lord
I loved my Mom and Dad and honored them both to the best of my ability. My Mom just passed away, at 89, from pneumonia after having hip replacement surgery. I miss her so much and she was a great role model to me. She planted that seed in me, as a child, to seek the Lord. Love your parents people and honor them...... they may be gone tomorrow. God bless.
I'm 22 right now. I really needed this...thank you, Pastor Joe🥲
Me too. Especially the food part
Great message. Congratulations on reaching your Golden Years for, despite what society would have you believe, your Golden Years run from 30 to 60. They are the years when you are still young enough, fit enough, and mature enough to truly appreciate and enjoy the life that the Lord has given you. The next 30 years will really define you as a man and a Christian. Don't hold back thinking you have lots of time to do it later. From experience, I can tell you that at 60 you actually enter your Declining Years when you lose your health, mobility, mental acuity, and those close to you and begin to forget the experiences and lessons that the Lord has allowed you to learn during all the previous years. Continue moving forward with the Lord and experiencing all He puts before you. Peace, God be with you, and enjoy your birthday. Sorry for the serious message but few seniors share this truth with their young. Enjoy the life God has given you while still young enough to do so.
Thanks for sharing :)
This is wise advice. And also, some of us may lose our health sooner than that.
I lost my health to serious chronic illness at 33, and I think none of us is prepared for that scenario.
(That's almost 20 years ago now.)
I've been guilty of watching too many Christian videos. For some reason I can't do with faith I'm an intellectual and have serious questions. I've not thought about finding the drama, the exposed, but to learn things I can learn and use to enhance my Christian life. You know when my parents moved into their assisted living home my mom gave me a small bear with a "just believe" little t-shirt and a small wooden cross. It's been 11 years since then and my parents passed on. Joe I love your simple undramatic style that keeps me coming back to your channel. Have a blessed day.
Me too.
My mom died on the day this video was made. Early afternoon 12:40 PM. And just like this video said, I was standing by her bedside as she died.
This is an important message. And I’m glad I was able to cherish the times I had with my mom before she left. She was a woman of God.
Send your mom some flowers and spend more time with your parents while you still have them!
Thank you for your heartfelt message, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and will pray for you and your family. My mother is about to visit now, so I have also read this comment in the Lord's providence. - Joe
Praise Jesus for you, brother Joe. We love you and appreciate you.
Your the only one I've ever heard be so humbly honest about your/our human side ,I really respect that ! Thanks Joe your so unique and a gift to us all !
I can actually relate and I am 20, when I was 18-19 I thought I knew it all, when I was 19 my dad who was with my mom was in a totally different state at the time (I was in NM, they were in CA) and they were two peas in a pod so I never worried much about them, he passed on the 27th of December 2020, my dad did really have the lord and the lord really worked in him and changed him, you know that bright look in someone’s eyes when they truly have the lord, he had that. I didn’t know he passed til almost a month later, and I wasn’t doing good things at the time, I was down and out drinking alcohol and smoking, and I begged god for a specific sign from my dad one night in a prayer and to let him come to me, my mom texted me the next morning and even called me and also told me in person that she had a dream he was eating and he was happy and he said to my mom that I know not to ask ask for specific signs, and the signs are all around me, and nows the time to build up the faith, and for her to tell me not to be drinking and smoking. I forgot what else he told her but I believe the lord was “killing two birds with one stone” so to speak so the lord could work in my mom as well, she told me that that dream she had was more real than any other dream she’s had. It’s beauty how god works and I take joy that the lord had my dad, the lord is a jealous god and my dad really did love him.
Well done brother, my dad passed away from cancer a year ago! Embrace the day with the Lord, cause each day is precious.
Thank you Jesus. Lately, I’ve been eating a lot to “take the edge off” and it’s taking a toll on my body. This is a wake up call for real 😭. Thanks for this video Joe.
right ._.
Thank you my brother ❤️😊 from new Zealand island s 🏝️ accept Jesus as your lord and saviour and be saved in Jesus name amen hallelujah praise the lord ✝️✝️✝️
I just wanted to say Joe, thank you kindly for always being honest!!! You are always honest and open about your mistakes, I find that refreshing!!! You don’t hide your mistakes from the world, your an amazing example to people Joe!!! God bless you my brother in Christ Jesus!! God bless you!! 😊🙏🏻🕊
My dad had a stroke a week ago and will never be the same. Time is precious make sure you tell your parents you love them.
Even if your parents have passed and you had a difficult relationship with them, as a Christian the onus is on you to be forgiving and understanding and to speak respectively of them. I know this from experience, it's a great witness to Christ in you if you can cover your parents faults and honour them
My mom is 91....battling cancer....she has a strong fortitude and I plan to LOVE HER INTO ETERNITY 💗
I pray for her salvation and KNOW God had her in HIS MIGHTY HANDS.
We get a strawberry 🍓 smoothie 🥤 two or three times a month. It's OUR tradition 😂
Please pray for her to accept Jesus Christ into her life. THANK YOU!
Texas Nana 🤠
PSALM 91
Thanks for always being so transparent Joe.
You've just exposed my heart on Christian TH-cam videos that expose these pastors and preachers. 🤍
What a conviction! Praise God
I am currently 18 and for some reason I've been planning my 20s😅....thanks for this video it helped reassure all the plans I've been making.
Yeah this can definitely be applied to teens too!
I'm 21 and I assure all those things said here are wise and biblical! I wished I could've applied them at my 18 :)
I would also say: *do not be lazy nor negligent*, seek the Lord every single day with all your being, study your bible, be diligent in prayer, this is tremendously important!
Please pray that God delivers me from devils, grants me salvation and fills me with His Holy Spirit Thanks
Wow! I recently prayed about this and asked God to help me with this and then you upload this video. God's perfect timing Always. All to the LORD!!!
Oh Joe, don’t worry, 30 is still young 😂
😂😂
Not really 😀
Right! 30 is young.
When looking back at 30 from 50, it does seem young, but those of us who are blessed with 40, 50, 60+ years on this earth know how fleeting and quickly life goes by. To say 50 is middle age is a misnomer; most of us will not live to be100. 😁
@@Janice1136-d8p so what is it? Old?
Please pray for my dear Ma. She is exactly as Joe described at the start of this video; in hospital and fading away before our eyes. She is a treasure.
Praying for her🙏❤
Cherish the time you have with family and friends - and be careful about who you call a friend.
I am so happy that at 20, I am fairly close to my family now by the grace of God! I was offended but now Jesus set me free, sometimes a lil pettiness comes out but I try my best to follow their advice now x🥺
The 20’s, 30’s,40’s are so young,,,,,when you’re young you tend to follow the herd…..as a christian we are to follow Christ, it’s not popular but it’s amazing how GOD reveals himself if you search for him….as I’ve gotten older(in my sixties now)…..I see the truth more……And don’t want to play with peoples’ drama anymore…it’s freeing…..I want a God centered life, and have had to leave some friends behind because they are stuck in their worldliness….or playing church….be honest, love others, share Jesus and don’t think you can fool God, HE knows the real you and in spite of that HE loves you, can you imagine! The God of the universe loves you! You are precious to him! ……….anyways much love & gratefulness to you Kirby…..you are so genuine, God Bless You!
Brother Joe I have been feeling the same thing about all the different doctrines on line
it's like a new doctrine is being born almost everyday as I was just thinking about this
today that, how it can all be confusing. Thank you brother Joe and god bless you and
keep you & your family 🕊🙏💖
My birthday is in a few weeks , but I won't be turning 30. 30 is way back in the rear view mirror.
I've stood by both my parents bedside as they departed this Earth. Love and respect your parents and every chance you get tell them you love them. We never know what the next day will bring.
Happy birthday Joe!! And may our Heavenly Father bless you with many, many happy returns of the day.
🙏✝️
Happy birthday, Joe. Thanks for your humility, so often when you share your struggles, I find myself hearing my own and drawing strength from your example. You've been such a help in my walk
5:26 I never went to bible college. By letting the Holy Spirit guide you, nobody need a bible college. Paul never went to bible college after he met Jesus. Like Behre's people, use the word that is the truth. Joe, you are full of the Spirit. Your words are truth and full of loving care. This is a gift of the Spirit. Nobody will teach you this. Only God, who has chosen you to serve Him like this. Gilles
I love that your heart is in the right place when it comes to full obedience to God. You are so humble and kind
My mum goads me and my sister too into rows. My dad died in July of this year. He said on his deathbed that time and family are everything!
Happy birthday in advance, Joe! The Lord's word through you has been a blessing for us all all these years, and I plead with him that many more may come. I hope the Lord take you to a whole new level of his knowledge and presence from now on. Enjoy the upcoming days! And thank you for everything from Colombia
I accepted Christ’s blood sacrifice for the remission of my sins when I was 13 years old but went through many trials in life during times that I’ve put a foot in the world by foolishness of sin.
Continuing to trust on he who redeemed me (a filthy sinner)I’m now an old man who reads gods word and prays for the opportunity to share Gods plan for salvation.
I give thanks be to my lord Jesus as he instilled the honor of parents and respect for others from in my heart from youth. Praise be to God for he has honored his words. Gods blessings upon you young man and may the Lords wisdom guide your steps.
That's so beautiful. If only my parents were like that and myself as well. Thank you for bringing this up to keep going to the path of peace and grace.
I would never want to be like my dad my man!!! And don’t dwell on the past.. just keep growing and spreading what you do!! BLESS🙏🏻🙏🏻
The timing of this video is so precise as I'm dealing with gluttony but I'm not able to overcome it.
You can...pray about it and stop over eating.God bless you
These videos are amazing and really address the needs of the youth and still coming from a Christian perspective. God bless you!
DWEEBLINESS !! Love it !!
Spend time with your mama and papa if they are still our there . 🐞🐞
I'm so grateful and blessed at 43 that I teach at a school close to my parent's house. I am able to spend time with them, have tea and just be at home 6 days a week. Blessings like this are priceless 😊
Praised the name of the living God. Be blessed brother Joe for sharing this.
Really great video !
I can relate to most of what Joe Kirby said.
(It is indeed a blessing to have Christian parents)
I am a 14 year old follower of Christ. This video convicted and inspired me. I cannot say anything than: THANK YOU!
Good. :)
Wow.. I really needed this ❤ Thank you Joe!
Thank you joe that you spread the gospel and are funny and sometimes serious and that you inspire me and others.
Just like David God help us to number our days 👏🏿👏🏿
I wish you were my son. I’m 70 and my son is 50 and I don’t know who he is bitter, angry with God, blames everyone for his choices and mistakes and now he has officially divorced me and tossed me aside like an old rag because I called him on the carpet for being emotionally abuse to his new wife. I survived domestic abuse and I refuse to stand back and hear him yell at his wife and not tell him what I am seeing and the destruction he is causing to his life. So now there is silence and I am the bad Mom? Thank you for your words. I wish you were my son.❤️
First off I just want to say happy birthday 🎊 and the part where you talked about Christian videos was very prophetic. I happen to watch a lot of Christian videos myself and I can totally relate to the different perspectives of each one and sometimes I often get confused because I’ll know one thing but when I watch a video it’ll make me have second thoughts about what I know. For instance I always knew that suicide was one of the biggest sins and tricks from the enemy to destroy your soul, but then I looked at a Christian video and it talked about how if u commit suicide you won’t go to hell, and it often confused me because I know that, that’s one of the biggest sins to commit. So I can definitely relate to you.
You're not alone brother, God be with you, live by the Holy Spirit. I pray we can great each other in Heaven.
Beautiful and amazing video.. powerful!!! This hit home more then I can ever explain… never had a dad figure. And coming from 24 year old this made me check my life
God bless
I will be 30 next fall (Lord willing) I can relate to much of this....if you can keep me in prayer. My wife is carrying our first child and we were hit by a hit & run driver in an auto accident. We are ok physically. But it's affecting my faith. Idk why. Thank you God bless you all.
Love your teaching and ministering Joe. You keep it honest and simple. You remind us not let the distracting and enticing flavours of the world pull our focus away from Christ.
🙂🇨🇦
Bro, crying. Glory to God for the marvellous truth and wisdom in this here video.
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉 May God bless you all and remember Jesus loves you!!!
thanks for filming your testimony brother Jeremiah!

YOU NEVER COME OFF AS BOASTFUL. YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS MY FRIEND. A CALM YET STERN VOICE. A CALM IN THIS MONSOON. A CONSTANT REMINDER OF WHAT WE A WITNESSES SHOULD BE. I WISH YOU ALL THE GOOD FORTUNES IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR CALLING
The first 7 years of my walk was spent doing what I was called to do - and I loved sharing Jesus with the lost above everything.
Perhaps - if I am granted the time - my last days will be spent doing the same thing.
Sadly, my marriage of 13 years ended tonight. During that time I became dull, I compromised with sin, I was unable to fulfill Biblical charges to love my wife as Christ loved the church. I became bogged down with work (night shifts), stresses. I had to leave my first fellowship as they fell to deceiving spirits and I then became addicted to heresy hunting ministries - seeing demons under every rock.
My four kids have been failed by me but perhaps there is forgiveness, even as my wife decides she is better off with somebody else or just better off without me around.
The sad thing is I knew it was coming but could not muster the fight to do anything except accelerate our separation with bad behaviour.
I'm not even sure why I'm sharing this.
There is still time to save your marriage - do so, with everything you've got!!
Man, get on your knees before the Lord, and cry out for your family!
Maybe, if your wife can sense a radical change in you, she may give you a chance.
Divorce is very destructive, and its' impact lifelong.
Do whatever you can to save your family, before it's too late!!
Don't act like the victim, but acknowledge your fault, and act responsibly.
If your wife talks to you at all, then make sure to show her that you are listening, and that what she tells you is important.
Don't get defensive, ever. Just listen, and acknowledge her pain.
Tell her you're so sorry you've disappointed and hurt her.
Tell her that you love her, and that you don't want to lose her.
You will not regret fighting for love, but you'll forever regret quitting on love.
Real love, is a love that doesn't give up, when the going gets tough.
For your family's sake, for your kids' sake - do everything in your power to save your family!
Get up, get up, and do it now!
I'm praying for you.
Prayers for God's direction and healing for you and your family. Without Jesus we can do nothing. ..but, through Christ, we can do all things. Draw nigh to Him and He will draw nigh to you. He is a God 🙌 f restoration. You will be made whole again.
JESUS CHRIST is our LORD AND SAVIOR He died for us all always GOD First..✝️Amen GOD Bless You Brother
Thank you Joe for sharing the gospel, I really appreciate and always anticipating for your next videos.
They really help one to keep grounded and continue to push forward.
Thank you, I pray God gives you the strength to continue and more knowledge and wisdom to be able to make more wonderful videos.
My dear Brother in Christ, your still in your youth, but the next five years of your life you will learn so much, I’m looking forward to seeing your growth, you truly have a heart for God. My prayers are with you
Oh my brother very well said. Keep posting. 😃♥️♥️♥️♥️. Agree 100%. Actually I will be doing some changes. It's like God spoke to me through you.
Thank u joe I have a problem of tryin to be perfect sometimes but I have to accept that I'm not but I know God will help me through it😞
Happy Early Birthday! I just turn 30 in October and yes I did the same thing with food eating to much now for the last couple of years I have been eating more healthy! Remember Joe 30 is just a number and we have Jesus Christ to thank for everyday on this earth! I'm also very thankful that my parents are still both alive! My parents just celebrated their 31 years wedding anniversary on September 29!
Yusss, was waiting for a video from this channel..
Thank you for faithful love for this ministry brother Jeswin
Thank you so much for speaking out. I believe your voice is Holy Spirit inspired.
Honey, you've done a great job with your life so far. You have a wonderful relationship with our Lord, a beautiful wife and child, and many years ahead of you to work on the things that need improving.
Happy Birthday Joe!✨😊✨ May God Bless you now always! ✨⭐✨🎂🎁✝️✨⭐✨ Great advice to give. I agree will all your points at 43 and I can say that using your youth to go on mission trips is awesome and you will become who you spend your time with. Keep Christ first.. others next then yourself it will help you become less selfish and self centered. God bless 💗
"If they Repent and put their trust in Him alone." he says. Repentance means hugely different things to different people I'm finding out. Why even use the term when nobody seems to agree on what it means? If it means "turn from your sins" that's a completely different foundation than if it means "turn from your unbelief to belief in Him". Why not just say what you really mean? Why are so many confusing what you must do to be saved with this confusing ancient word "Repent"?? I hear it all the time and it makes me angry!
I have felt for a while to put down watching Christian TH-camrs but hearing from another fellow believer encouraged me even more to do so. Thank you, Joe. I have become so critical of myself in my walk that I have forgotten the compassion of Jesus Christ.
