What these Thai Christians taught me about the idol of struggling in my Christianity, and how to enjoy the light and easy yoke and burden Jesus always offers us.
Amen. Studies have shown that negative emotions are 4 times more powerful than positive ones. Too many brethren focus on the suffering of Christ, overlooking the other 95% of the gospel that is full of God's miracles, wisdom, and supernatural victory.
Amen, well said.
I do this same thing. God said be anxious for nothing! Nothing at all!! So I’m not! It’s a decision I make daily. The way I see it is he said it. Not me. I’m just doing what he told me to do. I have a girl I work with that came up to me the other day and asked me how I was doing? I said I’m doing great! She replied.. you always are. That’s unsettling to me! 😆
😂🙌 Keep shining out there man, bless you 🙏
I am Orthodox and I have a different mindset to many Christians but this was so incredible to hear. I have been suffering die to loss and uncertainty and I have been trying to understand it. I have seen it as my cross, but this past week I have thought of my cross differently. My cross is my anger, negativity, sadness etc. Not my sufferings. I need to deal with them.
Wow, this is one of the most humble comments yet. Bless you
Finally someone I can agree with. Christians magnify suffering and martyrdom toooo much. It's false humility IMO
So true. False humility and self righteousness and boasting in self.
Strongly agree
No it’s not is part of following Jesus. Jesus said carry your cross and follow me.
We are not called to do what makes us happy.
We’re called to do what glorifies God.
Such an encouraging word! Thank you. His yoke is easy. He takes the heavy part and leads us alongside Him.🔥💯🕊
This is exactly what I needed to hear I’m learning right know 😊❤
Amen! I've been surrendering my heavy burdens and hard yokes for Jesus' light and easy ones - as soon as I recognize them. As a result, doors are opening and resources are coming to me. One small step of faith done with ease is accomplishing more than 99 done by striving.
Love this! Thanks for sharing, bless you
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Bless you
ive been suffering almost my whole life. i feel like i have to keep suffering my whole life. i hope i get rid of this
May His light and easy yoke and burden create such an overwhelming sense of joy and relief for you ❤️
I 100% relate to this. You're not alone. Apparently all the suffering is a thing prophets must go through. Idk 🙄
I'm still trying to figure it out.
Same Buddy, it may require a fight to accept and realize the new reality Jesus has for us
@@nicoleroncone4496 yes ikr, its even worse when your parents worship idols that are blocking your life and evendoing witchraft.Just pray for me to move out of this home
Amen 🙏🏾 Thanks for sharing more great news uso
The trouble I learnt about us christians is we praise our times of struggle more these day's more than we give thanks & praise & spread our joy in being in the light of the word, Jesus Christ.
Amen uso, well said. Bless you 🙏
We will learn to live by Jesus light and easy burden friends I pray in Jesus name.
Wow- thank you for sharing this. Such a beautiful message and so needed. I see the Christian martyrdom everywhere. This is such an eye opener. 🙏🏼
No worries, you're not alone. Bless you
Hebrews 13:15-16
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Amen, what a true and beautiful message 🙌
We hold tight to our suffering/martyring as it keeps us defined as victims within the world, who do not have to step up, and out.
Wow, I was definitely guilty of this. Bless you 🙏
AMENNNN to that, I’m resting in the flow of the lords gracious goodness he’s extended to us. How grateful are we to even have that kind of relationship with such a god as ours.
Amen, well said. Bless you
Dats da one Lee, snuggle, don't struggle, just like Corrie Ten Boom said when she was in solitary confinement. She couldn't stand solitary confinement and was crying out to God for peace and hope. and struggling and wrestling with her predicament, when she heard God say, "Nestle, don't Wrestle"
Love that!! Nestle, don't wrestle 🔥❤️
I got revelation when I see constant injustice my first reaction supposed to be not to be upset or be angry but thinking about the One I am united with, Jesus, who took care of Everything because He loves me!! I know what I am talking about going thru years of injustice!
It is all about my choice! Will of God doesn't come automatically! My first reaction supposed to be thinking about who I belong to and Who am I. This means I chose to trust God and refuse to fight with injustice with my own streams which is the method of the Law or the Tree of Knowledge of good and Evil!! Evil!!
I know we often wonder how God is going to bless me or bring justice. But it is important how I react on situation that is not will of God!
If you guy’s struggle with this I recommend reading - The prodigal God by Timothy Keller. It helped me.
Yes and aaa-men!!! Well said!!! Thank you for sharing truth!!!
You are so welcome, bless you 🙏
Great message. One that Im learning.
🔥🔥🔥
amen 🌅
Well said
Thank you so much for this video
You are so welcome! Bless you
So much of christianity is about the mental gymnastics you read the bible and feel horrible then someone says no your thinking about it wrong, think about it like this.... Christ set you free, but now keep the commandments and don't you even think about sex, because you are free...
I know the Bible is God's word because it would be impossible to a human to write such an psychologically tormenting masterpiece. Nothing gets me as depressed and hopeless as trying to apply the Bible in my life. And when you do it and you struggle with it for days or weeks you'll eventually find that peace in that mental prison. But you slip up and have to start again. Im watching my life go down the drain doing this, i completely have to forfeit my dreams and hopes because they won't happen as long as im torturing myself with this faith, it destroyed my relationships and my self confidence. Submit slavery oh how wonderful!! They joy in my heart burning people for all eternity feel the love❤ oozing!!! We are truely free!!! As slaves.
Jesus calmed the storm and also he said ye I walk through the valley of the dark and his love still remains
As mentioned, it's not either-or, it's and-both. "In this world you WILL have DIFFICULTY, but be of GOOD CHEER, for I have overcome the world." Bless you.
Sickness and identity in sickness can also be an idol. It's a device of the dark one to trick people into getting their worth and value in his works instead of in Christ alone. Jesus paid it all. It's also a form of self righteousness and how people can think it's a good way to get people's attention. Jesus came to set the captives free. Hallelujah He paid it ALL. Worth and identity and righteousness in Him alone.n
Im experience the same thing as you friend, But I remind myself God did not send Jesus for us to die on the Cross for us the live a life of striving and struggle, when we do this we aren’t living by Grace 🤷♂️!
Ego death,by the Holy Spirit, through warfare is painful/ uncomfortable but Lord tells us to expect it , warfare manifests in different and at times very subtle.
Above all Joy comes in the morning.
Yep, we call it in the "junk in our trunk" in our group community. Very uncomfortable, but that's why He sent us the Comforter. Bless you.
Hi, I am asking for prayer for the idol or evil spirit of dieting. I don't know how to just eat normally. And my best efforts of losing and gaining weight problem has made me obese and pre-diabetes. Thank you for listening.
Here are some scriptures on self control and eating, meditate and magnify He’s word over any fear you have surrounding your weight or any “idol or evil spirit” For God loves you He didn’t give you a spirit of fear. He will never leave you nor forsake. P.s. I know exactly what you’re going through. Hope these help ❤

What do you think as a Christian man about book The Way of Superior Man?
I've not heard of it, I'll check it out. Bless you
@@leemalaulau ok thanks let me know here if you find out anything about it
could you share the name of the ministry in Thailand that you worked with, or a webpage? i am being led to contribute to the Lord's Kingdom in Thailand and am looking to connect with those who are already there
Nightlight and Rahab Ministries, there are several others there too. Bless you
Thankyou for sharing
I hate all this positive thinking rubbish its helpful but......
Keeping thankful is your saving Grace, why?
Because its biblical full stop.
The joy of the Lord is your strength.
Nice car, fancy home, great job etc etc they are gifts
But Salvation, heaven, grace, forgiveness etc etc all point to Jesus, thats an everlasting JOY.XXXX
Bless you
After i sent my message I wasn,t referring to your video, I have been through the worst time of my life, my daughter passed away suddenly last year with no warning from a brain anurysm and my husband has stage 4 cancer, the Joy of the Lord is all I have to stand on and keeping thankful I hope that makes sense, love your videos they are very straight forward no hype .
If you read in the Bible the disciples did struggle
There are times that being obedient to God will cost you
You didn't hear the message. Bless you
My company has lost an investor to which we legitimately obtained
I don’t know what I did wrong
What is the question isn't: "what did I do wrong?" but instead, "God, how do you want me to respond in this?" He has wisdom on the matter. Bless you.
Love it, but you speak too fast 😅
Can't please 'em all. Some say I speak to slow, too quiet, too loud. Feel free to slow the video down if needed. Hopefully you got the message nonetheless. Bless you.
Hardship and struggling is not part of the Body of Christ. in fact it is the opposite.
Are you concentrating on your driving ?
Lol, always amazed by the "driving" comments. Maybe I should add a disclaimer: nobody was harmed during this message 😂 Bless you
