    I will tell you how people are. I am so hated, I actually came home one day, dropped to my knees and busted out crying saying "Father and Jesus, people love the devil more than me". I visulized Jesus and He told me "Seek MY Love". This happened in 1994. Nothing is better than being born again.

      They don't love the devil they just love themselves n their sin. They are deceived if they knew the truth they would change their ways in a heartbeat. They are far from the truth completely blind i pray for them. God loves you bro keep the faith

    I agree with this man, 100%. This is what it means being born again. Thank you brother you put all together what is in my heart. This is what I tell people and they hate me for saying all what you say here. Friends if you do not have personal relationship and He doesn't know you personaly and you do not know HIM personaly, you are not saved. Hear it you are just doing religion not relationship. God bless you brother. I hope many hear this and ask Jesus, revile yourself to "ME". This is a message directly from the Holy Spirit of God to those who think they know Jesus but they do not. You do not need a Phd, master's degree or bachelor to know Jesus. You do not need to go to seminary to know Jesus. You just need to seek and He is ready to be found. Ones you find HIM, He is ready to tell you the deep secret's of God. He is ready to talk to you about every thing. I will say again and again to you Leodecean church of today. One of this days, what Jesus said to the Leodecean church will happen to you and there will no be any consolation to you. It will be too late. Seek HIM in truth and humility, He is ready to be found. Some one told me recently, you act as if you own Jesus. One thing I know, He owns me. I belong to HIM in all my being, my soul, my body, my heart and my strength. I do not need any one to entertain me nor I need any thing to keep me busy. He is all I need and thank God and glory to HIM alone He found me. You too can have this relationship if you know who He can be for you, He is your creator, who created you and knows all thing about you. Do not look your perfection, you will never be perfect any ways with out HIM. Praise the Lord. Jeremiah 9:-24but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD.

    Wow Josh, new subscriber here, no wonder Chris asked you to join his ministry, so young yet so awake to the true word, since watching Chris's videos I've really cleaned up my walk, sin and righteousness but still struggle with swearing here and there which I immediately repent for, please pray the Holy Spirit works in me while I pray and try to perfect my path with Jesus, all I want is to live for Jesus and produce good fruits! Cheers and God bless.

      Sawyer Shel - You can lose your salvation when you backslide into sin. However, you can get it back when you REPENT to get right and STAY right with God, then you will be "grafted back in" like in Romans 11. Just like the
      Prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. To be saved again you must REPENT. You must be SAVED. Today is the day of SALVATION as tomorrow is never promised. Repentance is an intentional change or turning away from sin and turning to God; from wanting to sin to not wanting to sin. If you truly want to repent it is because God has laid it on your heart. One very important thing you have to remember is that God does NOT want anyone who is only HALF-hearted or lukewarm. He does not work that way. "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with
      ALL YOUR HEART." Jeremiah 29:13. You must have a FULLY REPENTANT HEART. So when you are alone just drop
      to your knees and take all the time you need to discuss it all over with the Lord on how you have wronged Him, how you wish to know Him and feel so distant from Him. Most of all just admit your every sin under the sun as have total regret in your heart (in tears like a baby) and express your love for the Lord. Ask Him to even forgive you of sins you cannot remember.
      Don’t try to hide your sins as He knows them ALL anyway. But He wants you to be humble and put your PRIDE aside and confess them to Him and let Him know how sorry you are. Confess ALL of your sins to Him. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Pray and cry out to Jesus Christ with all of your heart and wide open soul and ask Him to
      forgive your sins. He will blot out all of your sins when you REPENT/ TURN from your sins. He will take away your heart of stone (from being “hard hearted toward Him”) and give you a heart of flesh. But you must repent so He can LIVE in your heart again. You must come to the point of HATING SIN because it is what separates us from God. That is why you feel the way you do. Breaking free from the bondage of sin is not an event but a process. But Jesus died to atone/ cover your sins and bring you back to God when you Get right and STAY right with Him. Becoming
      holy is not an event, it is a PROCESS. So pray to the Lord and ask Him for the Holy Spirit which will convict you of sin on your new walk with the Lord.
      For God to forgive us, we must forgive EVERYONE who has ever hurt us or done wrong to us so we have no bitterness in our hearts. Unresolved bitterness that you carry with you only leads to quickness in getting angry in the future. Forgiveness is not just for them, it is for YOU too... If you haven't done so already, you should work on this when you talk to God in the next couple of days to let Him know WHO you are forgiving, and for WHAT, and WHY you should forgive them....
      I am not saying you have to stop ALL sinning right away for Jesus to reveal himself to you spiritually. The Holy Spirit enters when one truly makes the decision to believe on Jesus as their Lord and Savior. But I am saying that God, in His foreknowledge, may not reveal His Son to those whom He knows don't really want to fully turn to Him, but are just testing Him and would end up NOT REPENTING, therefore rejecting Him anyway. In other words, God knows our hearts and if we desire to fully know and receive God, or if we are just testing Him without a repentant
      heart. When you get the Holy Spirit you will STOP willful sinning. Ask the Lord which sins you need to repent of and He will reveal those to you. You will go thru the process of Sanctification (being made holy by sinning less and less) in your new Christian walk with the Lord. One of Satan's greatest tricks is to excite/ entice us with 'worldly' pursuits
      and stay busy so that we never have time for God. You must make time for God daily or the devil will get you like he has you now. He has been torturing your mind and keeping you in the bondage of sin. YOU MUST NEVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP. Let God know the areas you are weak or ignorant or still confused and would like his guidance. He will help you, He really will!! Pray to God every day and night for His help in what you need, (not want). Pray for discernment, understanding, knowledge and wisdom. Ask God what His will is now, not yours. Seek God through Jesus Christ, who is His word. Read your BIBLE daily, start with ALL 4 GOSPELS, to draw closer to God and help you fight the enemy. Make Jesus’ teachings and the New Testament the new standard for your life. "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.
      Again, since sin is what separates us from God, we must come to the point of hating sin so we do not disappoint the Lord or ourselves on Judgement Day. The fleeting pleasure of sin is not worth it. The verse "resist the devil and he will flee" comes from OBEDIENCE to God that takes the "power" away from demons. Satan will still tempt you of coarse since that is what he DOES. But as soon as sin comes up in our hearts OR our minds we must defeat it IMMEDIATELY so it does not continue to LINGER AND GROW. When you let it grow it can overcome us and turn into
      action if we let it. That is how the devil gets in and STAYS IN. And idle time is the devil’s workshop. God always provides a way out of sin, you just have to find the strength 'in the moment' to walk away. "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
      You have to fight the enemy every day, all day. The fight NOW is better than going to hell where you can't fight your way out. So "resist the devil and he will flee" - you will have peace especially when you get more familiar with God's word - the verses you learn help to reassure you and keep the devil 'at bay' so he stops torturing you and keeping
      you in willful sin (bad habits). Reading the bible daily helps give us peace “Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” Proverbs 3:7. This is an ONGOING process and the healthy Fear of the Lord helps us to become sanctified. The devil gets in because he knows your weaknesses and will use them against you. He will not try to go in thru a locked front door (one sin previously conquered), he will sneak around to find a breach... The devil never stops. So you must "Put on the full armor of God." Ephesians 6. Read it.Or you will continue to be miserable until you surrender your life to Christ.
      The devil is never gone for good, NOT YET! Not til we're in heaven. We must fight the enemy every day, all day. The devil TEMPTS us b/c that's what he DOES, even to the most strong Christians. This is the SPIRITUAL WARFARE WE ALL go through. He will use FEAR and DOUBT to try and throw you off the narrow path. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.' James 4:8. You purify you heart by not giving into the temptations of the devil and you stop being "double-minded" by not just professing with your lips but by professing with your actions and not being a "double-minded hypocrite saying one thing yet doing another. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9. Read the bible and stay in God's word DAILY to help you stay at peace and put God's word ON YOUR HEART... TO PURIFY IT MORE. This is like the purifying process of gold. It is passed through the fire and heated so the impurities rise to the top. This is an ongoing process until death, but deliverance helps this process
      become easier. The verse "resist the devil and he will flee" comes from Obedience to God. OBEDIENCE takes the power away from our demons so we can be delivered from them. Pray to God constantly to show you any impurities or dirty spots on your heart and He will reveal those things you need to IMPROVE ON... TO PURIFY IT EVEN FURTHER. We must have a PURE HEART. Purifying your heart is an ongoing process.
      Now you just have to remain on the narrow path of repentance until the end. Just ask God constantly which sins to you need to get rid of and He will reveal them to you. He WILL reveal what you need to work on. If stumble, ask God HUMBLY to forgive you and help you to learn from that sin and He will help you. He really will!! But the only one who was perfect was Jesus Christ. So it is a constant process of refinement. The Holy Spirit will help and guide you daily. Welcome to your New Christian walk with the Lord!! The Christian walk is not an easy one but it is certainly well worth it in the end. It is all about the journey AND the destination. May the God of all peace bless you abundantly.

      Sawyer Shel Its as this man has said in another video, your gonna be broken down similar to how gold is refined. Everything wrong with you will manifest somehow and what's left is the purity of your heart but initially it will be eclipsed by much darkness in your heart.

    @JillyKins 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Everything has changed, dramatically since I gave myself to God. From the way I look at things be it, people, experiences and subjects. I am eager to read and learn the scriptures (feel very ignorant but I think that's a good thing)
    I cant withstand watching various films or anything that is remotely portraying evil/satanic things etc. I trashed so many things, linked to my past where I was very much into the occult.
    Anything that slanders and goes against the lord I can't have anywhere near me, my life, those I love, etc. My relationship with my parents and brother have been reconciled too. (thank you, Jesus)
    I am also finding myself telling people, not to talk about others slander them, be bitchy gossip, etc.
    I am convicted straight away if I am thinking or feeling something or even acting in a manner that, goes against Jesus and his word/Love.
    Now regardless of all that has changed and is still changing I am still experiencing something (which I know to be demonic) coming in to block my relationship with the son of God, I read the bible frequently, yet on the morning or evening am experiencing what I learned I can not recall. Well not all. This is most disconcerting.
    I am going to pray humbly and from my heart for deliverance and for forgiveness, as I believe its to do with divination, witchcraft etc.

    To the extent his face was not human anymore and each last each spit each laughter by those there was because of my personal behavior. I cried all day long, deeply and this image changed everything. I saw Jesus getting whipped and his skin was opened up into muscle and tendons saying to me “.do you believe me? Am I going through this for you or for nothing. This is the price paid for each of your sins. This changed everything. I like you very much and I admit this is the other half of what I did not know.

    Thank you so much. I needed this. I've been struggling for so long with trying to walk with God, yet back sliding and still living in sin. I needed this more than you know. Your pureness of heart really shines through in this video. I watched your other video about demonic forces and their effect on your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. I am battling so many demons. The nightmares one really hit home as well. I've been wrapped up in fear, and frozen for years. I've been sober for over 3 months and attending AA, but the voice of the Holy Spirit that I've been avoiding tells me that is not the true way of overcoming the demon of addiction, although I do believe it has its benefits, I think it also poses the risk of replacing our focus of healing through Christ with putting AA first and foremost. I think AA is a tool, but should come secondary and I also have found certain things to be conflicting with God's word. I need to utilize the program, but instead refocus myself on the healing that Jesus offers when we cease living in sin, take up our cross, and walk in the spirit. I'm going to cancel my Netflix subscription, Hollywood is evil and run by the Illuminati/Free Masons and the Satanic elite. Worldly music is the gateway to demonic influence as well. I do not celebrate holidays (Hell-lidays) either. Thank you for reminding me of my path. God bless you

    Amen brother...salvation is a gift for everyone, however, majority of people do not understand what it really is. We do not accept Christ, Christ accepts us when we repent of our sins. You must have a time and place where you know Christ saved your soul. This is the way to the kingdom of heaven.

    Christians living in sin are referred to as Carnal Christians. It is a big deal, God takes sin very seriously. It does not mean they unsaved though, because we are justified by grace received through faith, NOT works. No sin is left unpunished. A Christian living in sin will still have to deal with the consequences that result from their sins. God also chastises those He loves (Heb 12:6). Who are those who He loves? His sheep who put their faith and trust in Him.
    There are believers and unbelievers. That is it! It's not our job to judge whether someone is saved or not. God looks at the heart and that is something we just cannot see.
    No one is seeking God? How do you know that? Are you omniscient? The Bible has spelled out everything for us. God is not this mysterious force that has to be sought with blood, sweat, and tears. His revelation of himself is given to us in His word, the Bible.
    Where does the Bible say "you MUST cry when you pray to God?" Luke 11:5-14 mentions nothing about crying when you pray.
    Being given a measure of faith DOES NOT mean we are given a certain amount. Measure of faith, as alluded to in Romans 12:3 is referring to the instrument for measuring, namely saving faith. Every believer is saved by faith, and if each measures himself against that yardstick or standard, conceit will vanish and the diverse parts of the local body will work together more profitably for their mutual care (vv. 4-5). The body receives help especially as its members use their spiritual gifts (vv. 6-8). To sum it all up, there is only one kind of faith and each one of us should exercise that faith in accordance with the spiritual gifts given to serve the local body.
    We are not called to be fruit inspectors, because works are not a direct correlation of our saving faith. We are given free will which is why we have to make a choice to believe in the Gospel or not. God DID prepare good works for us in advance for us to walk in (Eph 2:10) and it's His desire for us to walk in those, but we have to abide in Him. He does not force these works upon us. It's our choice. Some people change overnight, some over months/year, others it takes a lifetime. That is the Holy Spirit working through them. Just because we don't see fruit according to how we think our finite minds should, does NOT mean others are unsaved or not "walking in the power/authority" as you allude to.
    You say "Born again is not some mental acknowledgement that Jesus really died for your sins and you believe in Jesus and you said the sinners prayer, that is not being born again. The fruit of being born again is a nature change." Being born again is more than a nature change. The Pharisees were very good at keeping the law. Their nature was opposite of the pagans, yet Jesus called them whitewashed tombs. To be born again , you have to understand you're a sinner and because of that you deserve eternal separation from Christ. It's you understanding that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave for your sins, so you could be forgiven and live with Him for eternity and then placing your trust in Him alone. Once you do that you are saved, sealed with the holy spirit (Eph 1:30 and Eph 4:30).

      Well said...this Josh thinks we will be perfect while in the flesh, when in the bible it says Isaah 64:6 our own righteousness are like filthy rags before God. and in Romans:3: 10-12 it states theres not one righteous, No not one. All have fallen short of the glory of God" We all know that we are not good there is only one good and that is God and through his perfect Son of Man are we able to be redeemed through his blood. If you put your good works vs the perfection of Jesus for your life you will be treated like Canan that brought fruit from plants from the field as an offering vs Abel who offered up an animal. You decide.

    I understand that to be born again is the beginning of the sanctification process. It's when, through the holy spirit, we can identify sins and we start fighting against them.
    It's when we have interest to read the Bible every day. We want to watch videos about Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. We want to talk about the Bible. We want to pray everyday. We want to please God, not because we are afraid of Him, but because we know that He sealed us and saved us.
    Be born again is just the beginning of the process to change our mind, thoughts, deeds... It's the beginning of the spiritual warfare.
    Jesus came to bring the sword.

    It’s been a week or so since I found that John MacArtgur is a false prophet, and I was feeling down and told God that my faith suffers a bit because of the disappointment. And I was not listening nor looking to find someone who could direct me into Jesus, until one evening I was studying for my CDL exam and I looked at you tube and your video popped out randomly. I had the feeling after few minutes of playing it that God send me teaching from in form of your videos, that’s why I listen to you carefully (because I have been through many teachers who later were debunked for heresies) I’ve listen you got dew days now and you are straighten my faith, so please keep up good work bc I feel like God is using you to spell his gospel

    I’m good laughing out loud because I’ve practically said your exact words at 16 1/2 mins in-it’s soooo wild that people want some label of Christian and tells what ‘church’ they go to or ask ‘where you go’…I’d say 99% of these local churches are teaching tithing and all man made holidays and especially Christmas out front of Bible truths..they float in female pastors etc etc..I can’t stand it..I can’t even agree when they start singing a weird song or quoting scripture wrong and out of context.
    Thank you for reading and hearing and following and teaching the Word..the way o hear it. It’s not about me-but you haven’t added to the Word nor taken away and that is what I hear and have to obey. I hate even saying the word Christmas or Easter and I do not use any as a landmark-it’s just spreading the lie…I will say December 24 or 25 but because it is a day. I know I’m not doing any of the setting start to have anyone focus on me or to be weirdly stubborn or not connect with people..no…I just can’t have apart of something I can’t agree with. I don’t agree with birthdays..but I will say--oh-you rolled a digit and leave it at that…or ‘hope you and the fam have a great week!’…but not to identify all with ‘celebrating’ it. I do think 1st world countries truly will find anything to celebrate…ye ole 1/2 birthday of their cat…ughhh… just another distraction…it’s funny but not…it’s sad.

    Unless you out and out w the same CONVICTION that you trusted in Christ with, RENOUNCE CHRIST, justified is justified and we don't go back and forth. In essence, salvation is based on RELATIONSHIP rather than FELLOWSHIP. Our iniquity damages our FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST, and He has ways up and to the point of taking you out early to deal with that if you are just that obnoxious in your rebellion.
    I DO agree there is folks on one side and folks on the other. If you get a opportunity maybe watch my video "Am I saved? Are you saved?" "Sinner's prayer is the greatest producer of false converts sadly.
