I love you Ray! Thank God for your love to the unsaved!!!! God bless you and your team!
His facial expression in the end is one of a man that has just heard good news
Stuart Wright he really did have a grin towards the end that was noticeable
That’s what God means when he’s says the truth shall set you free. Floodgates of freedom opened for him
I think the way Ray expressed the info with a seriousness in his voice, with all what he speaks also makes a difference
It was cute when the edges of his mouth started to form a smile (in spite of himself!) the moment Ray began describing the good news of God's love. Such a beautiful thing to see Hope light up inside of people! I pray that this resonated with James and that he comes to know Christ! 🥰
I thought the same. It's a look of awe. Beautiful.
Witnessed to someone for the first time a couple days ago because these videos inspired me to do so. Thank you Lord!❤
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
continuee!!
I'm so glad for u
So inspiring
I love it !!
great!!!
It's funny, I recently received God's great gift of mercy, and I was literally just telling my husband how I used to wake up every morning with a groan, I suffered many, many months of debilitating depression and anxiety, sometimes thinking, ugh, why am I still here? And now the first thing I do EVERY morning when I open my eyes is look out our bedroom window and see the gorgeous blue sky, and the tops of the trees reaching towards Heaven and dancing with the breeze as if to celebrate His glory, and I'm reminded of just how awesome He really is! I'm now filled with joy and gratitude every single day, and this God-given transformation was absolutely miraculous. To God be the glory!! 🙌
Absolutely beautiful.
I still cry when I see Sam. I miss that little dog.
God is Good All the time! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A gentle young man. Lord, give him eyes to see.
And the courage to face all opposition.
I wish i could talk to people like that so easily and share my faith.
Read the Word, and start sharing: you can even use resources like this, and lead up to them, then share the video or something else, to start with.
It can be quite hard - nervousness, ego, all sorts of stuff may cry out to try to stop you.
Above all that, God loves us, and His love for us sets us free to love Him, and our neighbors as ourselves.
And love cannot stay silent.
God called us to share the good news, for the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few: and He does not command us to do something without empowering us to do it.
Not all of us are silver-tongued: we don't need to be, either. Practice and technique are good, to be certain, but don't forget that God gives the increase.
Last note: Hebrews 12:2:
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
"Despising the shame": if shame or fear leaps out at you as you try to do this, remember what He did for us even as it tried to leap out at Him.
why dont u just follow rays template and this evangelist on university campuses th-cam.com/video/eb8m7Uc0t_I/w-d-xo.html
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 NKJV - And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Just make known the gospel, even Paul was fearful. God bless you brother!
praying for you to strengthen your faith and no fear to share in Jesus Name we pray amen!
God will use you if you are willing. He made you intentionally, you're his vessel.
He has a beautiful way of talking..when he spoke it was like he was reading something ..so fluent...sounds intelligent..God help you man
Because he’s been doing it for 40+ years. Lots of practice.❤️
@@nadogrl I'm talking about other guy..not Ray
@@johnsonmanamohan4437 - Oh, okay. (That wasn’t clear to me.)
@@nadogrl hahaha to me it was clear, but u made my day.
May God bless you!
@@alexmga9303 - Thank you for your comment. ❤️✝️
Almost everyone has their own idea of what makes someone else "cool" but for me Ray is one of the coolest guys I've ever seen. God Bless you Ray Comfort and thank you for what you do.
True
Ray is cooler than the seeds inside a cucumber
@@Bennythejet93 How about "Cooler than an icy slice of watermelon on a hot August night."
@@denniswhite166 where I live there’s no hot nights in august haha
Lovely guy. I pray he comes to know God, through Accepting Jesus.
How is he teaching works salvation when he says you can’t save yourself by your works?
I wish I had the courage to witness like this. I hope that someday I will.🙏❤
This was wonderful. This young man is truly an intellectual. Thoughtful,patient and kind. I really do think he will ponder what you have witnessed to him seriously without ego and make the logical and loving choice of dedication to God. I pray for him now, that God gives him strength. This world needs people like him. What a wonderful life he has to look forward to. :-)
They aren’t preaching works gospel because in the video he literally pointed out how other religions think they go to heaven by their good works. He said Christianity is about faith in Jesus(parachute example) not of good works.
@@christdiedandroseagainfory2133 you're 100% WRONG. And what's worse is you're dropping links to sell a false message.
We're saved through repentance of sin, which is simply acknowledging sin is wrong and we have sinned and we've asked Jesus to be our Saviour. Ephesians 2:8-9 is testament to being saved by Christ's grace alone but works is part of good fruit from a heart conversion, not in anyway salvation in itself and I've watched literally hundreds of Ray Comfort videos and he 100$ teaches were to repent and follow Christ.
No repentance = No forgiveness of sin.
@@thejamesbondshowwithkrazyk4581 You should know you cant fully repent without God's help. The Holy Spirit will gently convict you to let go your sins. If you try on your own, you'll just get burned out. When i tried on my own, i got self-righteous and angry. Its Easier when you rely on God,
The ending was so good!!! Just loved how he just embraced the whole conversation. God bless that kid.. and the wonderful Mr.Ray
God bless you Ray! Soon He will come and everyone to whom you've preached will remember your words.
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌💌
Hello! I have not.
What an open-hearted, honest young man. May the seeds planted in his heart flourish and produce a bounteous harvest to God....
That young man was so eloquent! It touched me to see and hear a man this age who truly examined and listened, using critical thinking skills. It was clear he had a heart open to receiving the truth....given in LOVE by Ray. I felt James was hoping to be a counselor of some type. Something about him was very special.. I hope God uses him to comfort and heal many others....
Born once, die twice; born twice, die once.
Lord, use these words from Ray to draw James to you. Amen.
Great guy. He clearly has a bright mind and an openness. God bless you, James.
Sarah Leonard In Jesus name, amen.

It’s heartwarming when they thank Ray for speaking with them. There seem to be few who do that sincerely.
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
Beautiful. And such a gem this guy. You can see in his eloquence how truly intelligent he is, yet is open and humble in seeking digging for answers.

TRUTH ..
This is so refreshing too watch. I enjoy watching these encouraging videos on sharing the Gospel. When I first watched these videos i was very offended and I was a new Christian with no roots or community that I belonged too at the time; I look back now and realized that I was a false convert before and God has used this ministry's living waters to help me understand the Gospel. Thank you Jesus Christ. Amen God bless you Ray Comfort for what you and the people involved in your ministry are doing for God's kingdom.
@@christdiedandroseagainfory2133Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

@@christdiedandroseagainfory2133
Ok, soooo...... You are saying that to trust in Jesus for your salvation is false, but to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is the only acceptable means of salvation? Hmmm, that sounds like some extreme nitpicking to me sir. Especially to be jumping into so many comments on here to oppose what Ray is saying. Especially when Jesus says he is the way the truth and the life. Especially when our salvation is contingent upon believing in our heart that JESUS is Lord (as well as confessing with our mouths that God raised him from the dead)...
@@christdiedandroseagainfory2133 God is not the author of confusion sir, he would not have separate instructions or desires for different people. We are merely grafted into the vine as gentiles, now as one with the Vine, you know? Yes, Jesus ministry was indeed for the Israelites, but the new covenant he established was for all. You're saying that Paul, who was personally appointed by Jesus himself, was elected for the purpose to teach contrary to what Jesus himself was all about, what he preached?
And you didn't really answer my question... according to you, is there a difference between trusting in Jesus for our salvation, and trusting in his death and resurrection for it?
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
If you look closely, as soon as Ray explained the Gospel and the reason why Jesus gave his life on the cross (8:10), you can tell he was in shock as if it finally made sense to him. That was the Holy Spirit working. Praise God and bless you Ray! You're awesome!
Way to go, James! Awesome how this young man was open-minded, truly listened to the gospel message, and appreciated it, too! He is a rare kind! May God bless him, save him and use him in a mighty way for His glory, in Jesus' name!
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
@@santacollins326 Yes, I have! Powerful testimony of a man delivered from Satanism. Just goes to show that Jesus has more power than the devil because He is one with our Father in Heaven!
I felt he was a rare young man too! I think God has some great plans ahead for him. xoxo
“Seal you with His Holy Spirit...” that’s powerful!
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
Awww that made me smile. It warms my heart to see someone receptive to the gospel. Thanks for planting that seed Ray, now God will give the increase.
Love the way he smiled, and how when Ray asked him if he believed the Good News, he was quick to say, "Of course, man. I do." Made my day! Reminds of me of a song: "When I see a lost sinner kneel at the cross, from down in my spirit comes a thunderous applause. It's hard to explain how I feel, because I still remember what it's like to be lost."
Many Blessings To You Brother Ray Keep Spreading the Word of God lovingly to all whom are Lost in Sin.✝️🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️
THANKS RAY for staying with the interview to the end , this is deeply moving 👌💓👍
Blessings from Mexico Ray! Such a blessing that God let me learned this beautiful tongue and that I'm able to understand the Gospel of Jesus in a different language.
@Nicole Jessica Well, we've got more than 10,000 positive cases to Covid and more 1,351 registered deaths. Everybody is trying to stay home and safe.
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
Of course these videos are a blessing and an inspiration yo me but Also are improving my English as a second languague
What a beautiful young man.
you can literally hear Ray catching his breath as he tries to share the gospel-what a true servant of Christ 🥺
I love this so nice Whoever is reading know that you are going to make it through these hard times. God is with you and nothing shall hurt and overcome you. Keep the faith in Jesus
This was a great demonstration of loving people enough to stop and talk to them. And to share the gospel with them and plead with them to think seriously about it.
Ray, one of the attributes of God is creativity. You sir in your ministry have displayed creativity in a very creative way!! I love the way your able to, in 10 minutes, cut the legs from under all of these “thoughts” people have about about where we are going after death. Thank You for the Tools!!
You planted such a amazing seed feel Holy Ghost yes proud of that
Love me some Ray Comfort :-) God bless you, gentlemen of Living waters.
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
I love the way you can speak so quickly with example after example. What a gift!
winning souls for Christ I love u Ray
How wonderfully and mightily God is using the Living Waters team to reach out to the people in this critical times.
My prayers and blessings to James. That he may get his true callings.🙏
Awh I like this guy's mind and heart! God please grant me a man with great intellect and a soft but brave heart 🙏
Aw
Praise Jesus!!! Remain blessed Ray!!
Words cannot describe how beneficial this channel has been to my Christian walk!
Give honor to whom honor is due. Phenomenal job Brother.
Wow, what a beautiful encounter. His face says it all 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I pray he is our brother in Christ now 🤩🙌✝️
Thank You Lord for the gospel of salvation.
I pray that you grant James with strong desire for You and that he may grow in the knowledge of your Truth. Amen
What a respectful young man. I pray his heart has or will be changed..
Awesome. Gods Spirit gave him a tremendous revelation and he got it.....man did he ever get it. If you would have asked me at the start, I would have thought no way. God says YES way. Gives me chill bumps.
Praying for you, James. God bless you
What a beautiful witness, and to James who had enough courage and patientce to listen. Ray Comfort is truly a walking in the Spirit of God! God bless him and everyone he meets.
I love the compassion of Ray Comfort! He really cares about people and it shows in his witnessing in the way he lives! I would to God that more believers in Jesus were like this! I would go witnessing with this man any day! 😁🎼🎆🙏😀
I love it. Thank you. This helped me, these are great reminders of our salvation and great fuel for life.
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
That was a pretty awesome encounter. Intellectuals are fun to talk to. Especially if they are reasonable and logical. Definitely enjoyed this video.
ABBA!! ☺🤗 how can we not get right with Him?? Smh I love how perfect Abba Father is.
He seems to have a real gentle spirit. I pray the Lord change his heart & mind and the he will share the Lord & His love with others who will be saved.
I love to see Ray engage with intellectuals . Shows his vast experience with all types of people from all walks of life but his message remains consistent and steadfast which is very compelling 🤔.
This is probably one of my favourite ones I’ve seen. Glory to God!!!! His heart was so open and ready for the gospel. So beautiful.
People like this would really help us all by being able to ask questions
This one is one of my favorites.. you can see he is intelligent and processing everything and it makes sense. Good video
finally!!! I hope there will be more humble hearts like this that will actually listen instead of snapping at you when they feel the slightest discomfort of the truth! God bless you ray keep it up!!!
Nice evangelism!!!!!!! And a nice young man too.
The end of the video made me smile.. Its so beautiful how some people are open for Christ.. God bless everyone
Ray is so smooth. Lovingly smooth. Thanks for showing us how to witness and for being so bold and brave in Jesus name! Been watching you for years when you and Kirk first got together! Keep it up!!! Well done good and faithful servant!
Good job Ray. May God continue to bless you in the important work He has commanded all believers to do in which the workers are few. Glory be to God our Creator!
I'm so glad I discovered this page. What you are doing is beautiful. This has helped me so much with my faith today. God bless you
Love this guy! You can feel his eyes opening to the Gospel near the end.
That was amazing! He really understood. It clicked for him, and he received many answers to his questions, and his quest for truth. At least, that's how I saw it. Like a light bulb being turned on.
I just bought the book advertised at the end of this video.
Nice
Christ died and rose Again for you If you don’t believe that repentance is required for salvation, you haven’t read your bible. Seems like you’re being selective in which verses you draw from rather than considering the totality of scripture.
Ray, I listen to you every day.
It's clear in his face and in his eyes that the message touching him
God bless you ray.
This was great. One of my fears with evangelizing is coming across an intellectual like James. He had a realloy open heart and an open mind which was really encouraging for me. Great video!
The truth will always over power intellect.
Good luck my brother, you’ll smash it!
What needed to be said was said to this young man blessings
Thanks again Ray and thanks to James? That he was open to listen.
These videos are so helpful for being a better witness. Thank you
Aww. James. What a cool dude. God bless you man. Live for Jesus!
God bless you Ray!
Wow, May what looks like a teachable spirit be taken to salvation! 👍👍👍
I love that man. Even though he was intelligent he wasnt too proud. I pray the Lord be merciful on him and open his heart to understanding the fear of God.
I Love James.... this seed I can see growing already.... Hallelujah!
thank you lord, for a legend like ray, we need more ray
Thank you for all that you do Ray. May God bless you. I am blessed every night listening to how you present the good news. ❤
Thanks ray, I think he have good voice, God can lead him to the right way, he will be good worrier I'll pray to be your ministry
Now that looks like a seed that fell on a fertile soil.
Hopefully it'll take root and grow to produce a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown!
His humility is saving him. Hope he pursues.
Thanks, Ray, I love watching your inspiring interviews. I am learning from your expertise to become more effective at witnessing and soul-winning! Your dog, Sam, makes me laugh and smile as well! His sunglasses are over the top!
Ray you nailed it man love you brother
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌💌
He’s got a beautiful spirit. The seed that Ray planted will flourish.
Very well spoken and honest young man.
By far my favorite of your accounts witnessing on the street. Very great back and forth between the two of you, and you brought this guy closer to the truth and lit a fire under him to pursue that truth further in his own time! Love it
What a lovely guy... and so open.
may God shower this young man with blessings and wisdom.
What a humble and gentle man. God is calling you brother, you have a host of people praying for you and the love and reality of God is knocking at your door waiting to be glorified in your life. Please don't harden your heart dear friend, ask God with a pure heart to manifest himself in the name of Jesus Christ and his glorious spirit will be made known to you. We bless you and trust the almighty, living God who created us will liberally pour his spirit into you and make you a Saint of God in his righteousness and holyiness. God bless you❤️🙏
Wonderful conversation with this man thanks Ray you had me praying for his soul before the intervie ended also he was looking enthusiastic to see what you would give him.
absolutely brilliant job i am so amazed at both ray for explaining and the lad for getting it on the spot
Ray is really confused about the process of human reasoning.
@@qhvianthomasmidgely5th.62 what makes you think that?
@@Sam-mj7uf His line of questioning does not allow explanation of deed, only the concept of indoctrinational aspects of understanding. It is very illogical .
@@qhvianthomasmidgely5th.62 would you mind expanding on the matter?
@@Sam-mj7uf His line of questioning, is just designed for a desired response. When he doesn't get that answer , he plays the wisdom from ignorance role.
When he gets the response he is seeking, it becomes his gotcha moment.
What would his response be to someone pointing out how Jesus broke the law ?
First time I've left a comment cuz usually I can't. Got a case full of your what time is purple books from Wretched Ministries almost a month ago and have given away 2/3 of them in my 8 block neighborhood and different bus stops around the city of Portland Oregon. Getting some more soon! Wretched gave them to me for free I didn't even have to pay shipping and handling! Thank you so much! God bless you and you can send me more when you have another free giveaway because they will all get given 2 people with my prayers and God's words with each one! God bless you Ray. I use your shtick almost everyday and have it down pretty good as I watched two or three of your videos each day. Love you guys at Living Waters! Sincerely, Denise Edmondson
👍
Just ordered myself 50 "What time is purple" booklets. Was meaning to do that awhile ago. Thanks for reminding me. 😉
Blessings always 💯☝🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm so thankful to you, Ray Comfort, what God is doing thru you is amazing, I hope to share Jesus with others using your videos as a guide and learning tool
That was so awesome. I praise the Lord.🙏
He actually looks and sounds really nice. He’s polite and has a brain.
