Lord, thank you for Pastor Mark. Thank you for leading him to be a steward of men in a Godly way.
Don’t worry about the will of God until you have a relationship with God - woooooah this blew me away !!! ❤
My wife is currently experiencing stage 4 liver cancer, this has brought me closer to God, our Father, and now praying more, listening to scripture, and scouring for answers to the type of questions Pastor Mark covers. Thank you for helping me Father, and bringing me closer to you through your will! Continue working in my life, Lord! Please point me in the correct direction, for helping my children and grandchildren and friends closer to you! I hope that what I'm hearing is your voice Father.... and that I'm not crazy. I ask that all of us searching for you find you! ❤
I pray that your wife experiences total healing in Jesus Christ name amen. 😮
Lifting your precious wife up before Gods throne of grace, asking for complete and total restoration of her health. Ask, believe and you will receive. Never stop believing! 🙏❤️🙏
@@darlene333 thank you, praise God!
Gods'voice will always agree with His Word
I’ll pray for you wife and for you finding peace in the lord god bless you 🙏
Someone needs to make P. Mark a shirt that says “Ultimately… the answer is Jesus”
Yes!!!❤❤❤❤
I would wear it
I almost never comment on things but just want to say thanks if you happen to see it. My wife and I are in the midst of quitting my job and moving across the country. We have three kids 3 years old, 2 years old, and 3 months old. There is almost no one alive left in our families who believes in God truly while my great grandfather and wife's grandfather were both preachers. This departure is apparent and we are creating distance for the sake of our marriage, our children, and our legacy. From generational curses to finding God's will we have gone from living and sleeping together unmarried to teaching our children to pray every night thanks to you and pastor's like you who tell the truth.
Thank you, I've been watching your preaching for a few months now. I go to Sunday service, Wednesday night and watch your channel every week. I was a Luke warm Christian for many years and early last year around January I felt the holy spirit to read and know the Bible like it was really important. This was when I was working construction in klamath falls oregon away from my wife and kids. Every day I would listen to the Bible being read on spotify on the way to work, on my way home and the evening before bed. I've felt a connection and dedication I've never experienced and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you for also being a dedicated spiritual leader.

Excellent question and great answer to it and sermon Pastor Mark! Sharing it as well!
My wife said she has spent over 34 years as a born-again Christian living life on that 'high wire' as you put it, and felt like God was anxiously standing next to it ready to poke her off of it, because of all the preaching she's been receiving over the years. That's how she perceived God and I didn't even realize that. Because of your sermons and teaching like this, she truly loves knowing now how loving for us, our Father is. She's able to truly praise him for His everlasting love for us.
Thank you for your anointed preaching and teaching Pastor Mark. God bless you! Praise Jesus!
I cannot put into words how much Ive been waiting to hear this...its an amswer from my father.
One of my favorite sermons of yours, Pastor Mark. Thank you!
Over 20 years ago, I asked God if I could marry my future husband. I heard God say will you be his helpmate. I said yes ! Best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you so much for this message. It is so helpful in guiding my children and the steps to take with them.
I grew up without a dad, or any fatherly teaching.
Im 49, and this is what my spirit has been crying out for.
Thank you PS Mark for being obedient, God is blessing me and my daughter through you.
Bless you.
Me too. Thats what drew me to Mark, his blessing and ministry of men.
This moved me and helped me hear God. I just was not listening. This is truly a great pastor and a great message.
Amazing sermon. As a resident of Metro Detroit, we wish Detroit was an option, lol. We need your convection and passion up here.
Beautiful ❤ Exactly what I needed to at this times in my life. Thank you Lord for speaking thru Pastor Mark.
Thank you for this! 🙏There is not a lot of help for new Christians - most assume that everyone isn't new!
I’ve enjoyed every single sermon 🙌🏻👍🏻😎 keep doing what you’re doing Mark! The world needs more men like you!
Mark your honestly gifted and blessed with the holy spirit thank you for every video you post. Your videos are helping me to learn more and more everyday.
YES!
Completely ignore anyone who wants to give you "wise" counsel.
Those jokers of people are ridiculously delusional.
Good message! Needed to hear it. I'm currently in a season of waiting. It's difficult to stay idle while waiting. Spending time getting to know the Lord on a deeper level has helped.
I have shred this with a few of the men in my life. You are anointed gifted guy and just so gut level at speaking guy to guy. Iam a woman in Australia and have a couple of men God put in my life. I hope to marry one of them in a year or so. thanks for your messages. Amen praising God for you and your team and ministry. Love that you touch on false preachers too.
Love you bro.
Karen
Wow this really helped me take a step back and reflect! Crazy I kept crying right when you would say God is asking you what do you want to do! Well there’s a start and I need to go pray! ❤🙏🔥
Pastor Mark is rock solid in his teaching. I am so happy to have found him albeit through the men's conference scandal. I respect him so much for calling out that scenario for what it was. I've been listening to his sermons ever since. God bless you pastor.
If you only knew how much I needed to hear this. I have missed the last two sermons, I typically host online. But today something told me to listen to them. Low & behold this is exactly what the Lord wanted me to hear today! Thank you so much for being a spirit led pastor! May God continue too bless you, your family, your church and Minstry! Praise the Lord for leading Godly men! 🙏🏼
Great message Pastor Mark. God bless. 😊
Yup, because the ultimate form of love is giving a choice. I was telling an ex-girlfriend this recently because I wouldn’t fight for her when she didn’t think she wanted to be with me anymore. She knew how much she meant to me even though she claimed that she didn’t. I’ve bent over backwards and showed her I loved her, but I explained to her that real biblical love is giving her a choice. I wanted her happy whether I am in her future or not. Christ like love is giving a choice and suffering with them.
I really appreciate your biblical teaching. Thank you.
Thank you Pastor Marc
God's will you preach, God's grace we all found you.
Praise the Lord! I am so thankful for faithful preachers.
Fantastic sermon!!!!
Wow what a brilliant and captivating servant
and sermon! I loved every word of it ...every second of it!
I'm adding it to my playlist of favorite sermons to rewatch!!!!!!🕊️✝️🎉🎉🎉
So 'Faith, Hope and Love abide these three, but THE GREATEST of these is LOVE'... 1Cor.13:13
Amen, seek ye 1st the kingdom.
I need to learn to "Be Still!"
So amazing! I need to listen to it again and take notes
Love this Godly man
One of the greatest sermons ever!! Blessings
Thank you for sharing your wisdom of the lord our God.
Thank you he always speaks to me just when and what i need to hear. Amen bless you pastor.
I wish listening to God was simple as being still and quiet. I know the word says that but my mind races so much, I have no way to differentiate bxt me, God and the enemy. It's very frustrating. Almost feel like contact with God like that is reserved for the 5 fold. The rest of us have to just figure it out on our own or guess. 😢
Thank you Pastor, this has really blessed me
Beautiful Pastor 43:10
Great message
Great message for such a time as this!
Really really good and helpful
My I say , you should not of apologized to that pastor who did wrong in his men’s conference
You did the right thing in calling evil what it is
So please don’t apologize
To these false pastors who have no desire to teach or stand for what the truth actually is
We just want to hear feel good messages .
God will not be mocked
He will be judge us according to our actions
We are living in a time that we better get our
Act together or we will not make it .
Thanks Pastor Mark for teaching and standing for truth , and never apologize for calling evil out .
Have a blessed day 🤎
Wow God sent this message to my feed ,thank you Jesus I understood this message ❤
Sometimes it's nice to clearly know your calling in life early on.
It's also nice that you actually enjoy it.
What about the rest of us?
Some of us can never get what we enjoy.
What's the point in that?
Why would God prevent some people from ever getting what they want out of life?
(time: 47:20)
How do we get justice after we have been wronged and harmed?
When do our enemies get punished with what they planned for us?
When do our enemies have their ill gotten gains taken away from them?
When do we get back what was taken from us?
(time: 46:14)
(time 25:40)
God is either allowing or helping the "authorities" to seize custody of some children.
We see some of those news stories where parents are trying to prevent that and those parents are losing.
Pastor mark- please preach on men and women sleeping apart when married- I’m not happy sleeping away from my husband- he snores bad- but I crave his protection and intimacy.. not sexual necessarily but just being close to him at night bc he works all day and evening. I feel lonely sleeping alone. It’s really affecting my connection with my husband.
It's better to be a leader in authority.
However, God puts us in this world where we don't have the choice but to be followers and under the authrity of pathetic human beings.
(time 23:50)
It would be absolutely wonderful to actually experience a message from God.
A REAL message from God.
The silence from God is absolutely sickening!
(time: 37:10)
God is not silent- His answers are clear- the hardest part for all of us ...is that God's will for the solution is not what we want to hear. You will hear God more and more clearly as you let go of the things in this world that will not matter much later on. First, look at what it means to let go of yourself- it is hard, but never impossible. Then, as you go through your day, the thoughts are all about how you can show God to others by the way you treat, care for, serve, and love all others. Humans just want, want & want things- they think that they will be happy - but being happy is not why we were created- this earth is a place we practice unconditional love- we also practice our desire to be thankful and grateful- not angry or destroyed whether things are going well or things seem hopeless- we will be living out our purpose when we can love God and others no matter what!! It requires faith & trust & hope- then there comes a peace beyond all understanding.
31:13 This Part is so true.
How can Pastor Mark Driscoll know that God is speaking to him even a little bit at a time?
How does he know that it is not just his own thoughts telling him what he wants to hear?
Maybe his mind tells him a few things he doesn't want to hear just so he can delude himself into thinking he is hearing from God.
It's extremely unlikely that God would tell anyone everything they want to hear.
A few things, yes, but not everything.
(time: 14:30)
I have always struggled with "what do you want to do". Everything seems like something I have to do. How do I learn to figure out what I want to do?
(time: 47:50)
Many people know what they want to do.
Why is God standing in their way?
Why is God preventing them from doing what they want to do?
Here are some clear and obvious examples:
Blind people would like to drive and paint pictures.
Why is God preventing them from doing these things?
Why is God making blind people blind?
Most people don't want to have to work under other people's authority.
Why did God "annoint" some people to be in authority over others?
Why did God make it impossible for people to get out of their lower positions in life?
These examples could go on and on and on.
Thanks .... So I'm not Crazy.
(time: 1:05:20)
God's sovereignty is not making things right.
God's sovereignty keeps the misery and suffering and injustice going and going and going.
How could the disabled, diseased, injured, crippled people ever enjoy God?
(time: 48:26)
(time: 58:29)
Great!
Why doesn't God/Jesus cure the blind today?
Why doesn't God/Jesus cure all the diabled, diseased, injured, crippled today?
I'm not interested in hearing God speak to me through other people.
God speaking to me directly is the only way that is good enough. )time: 22:20)
Arrogance says we don't need feedback or confirmation. Seek God and wise counsel. Proverbs
Should we all be using a "listening prayer notebook"?
Is that Biblical?
Is that actually what God would want us to do?
God Bless You
What Was our Lord Yeshua Christ Jesus Word On CBD in Our Bible and Holy Oils He Took For Himself🕊❤️🙏🏻🎶🎉
❤❤❤❤😊
How do the disabled and diseased and injured get cured?
(time: 46:14)
Why do most of us have to be subject to pathetic human authority?
Why can't most of us be in the authority position?
The corrupt jokers should be under the authority of the rest of us.
(time: 23:40)
If something bad happens to you and it hurts and causes loss of any kind then...
yes....
God is harming you.
(time: 32:53)
Who likes being diabled?
Who likes suffering injustice?
If Jesus came along and said "You no longer have to suffer injustice or be disabled."
Who in their right mind would want to continue?
Those people will be doing wonderful things once they are freed from being held back.
Seriously!
What's taking so long to get this done?
(time: 52:25)
All we have to do is say "I'll do whatever you tell me to do."?
God will actually tell us?
(time: 46:14)
No, God really doesn't speak to me.
Sometimes I am really busy, but God put me in this world and this world was here before I was put here.
If God is not getting our attention to speak to us then he's not even trying. (He actually can get our attntion if he wants to).
What Bible translation do you use, P.. Mark?
So....
Good things happen to only the people that ask?
I'm sure many people are asking for many good things.
How would Pastor Mark Driscall have felt if there had been some tragedy after his daughter's graduation?
In that case maybe moving earlier would have averted that tragedy.
Are tragedies only the result of people not listening to God?
The Book of Job would certainly seem to say "NO" to my last question.
(time: 19:10)
What's the point of a conscience only saving you from a little hell in life?
Why not give people something to save them from the real hell?
(time: 35:01)
What do you do when your conscience, gut, or feelings tell you that someone is doing something sneakly and clever to hurt you?
It might not be illegal, but it is still certainly wrong.
How to stop it and prevent it?
Failure to stop it would be really severe consequences for you.
Why would God allow someone to do that and get away with it?
Rotten people like that ceretainly justify their actions in their minds when they knowingly do sneaky and clever things in revenge for their "hurt" feeling.
Why would God allow them to do it and get away with it?
How thoroughly should a person be checking the Bible?
It's not reasonable to "study an issue to death".
Surely there are some issues that might have seemingly contradictory answers in the Bible.
How would someone determine which way to go in that case?
(time: 1:02:03)
If people don't hear clearly then God needs to speak more clearly.
Has God forgotten that he made some people disabled?
As a result of that decision God is going to have to adjust how he speaks to people so they actually can get the message.
If people aren't getting the message it is because God doesn't want them to get the message and he wants them to suffer.
What kind of God is that?
Why would God put people into hell when those people are not happy with the garbage life they have been thrust into?
(time: 48:26)
It would be great if God/Jesus would make himself clearly and unambiguously known.
How about a personal meeting like what Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Matthew, and others got?
Or do the rest of us have to be better than those men?
The rest of us are better than those men because we might be able to have more faith in God with even less evidence of God.
What is God's will for disabled people?
Honestly, why would anyone want to be disabled or be happy to be disable?
Why don't the disabled have a chance to opt out of such a terrible situation?
All of this is Great and Inspiring, BUT, It is not as simple as it is sounding. I have been Praying, Praying, Fighting, Asking, Begging my Father for certain Directions for a Music Ministry also for General Life Purposes and Will and it just seems as though He is just Silent and allowing me to make all the Wrong, Bad Decisions and then say....Welp You should'nt have made that decision, well you screwed up again so now you will have to deal with the consequences, I just feel like He is not ever gonna show me directly or say to me directly what my Purpose in the World is other than Serving Him, Loving Him and Others. I am not feeling like i am Fulfilling my Purpose but everything i get into FAILS, and I am unsure still.
Why is it God's will that rotten people can cause us harm and they never have consequences for their bad actions?
I've struggled with this myself. I'm a new Christian and the only thing I can come up with is that God said "vengeance is mine and I will repay". Other than that I don't have a great answer and have asked for some guidance from God myself on this.
@@JohnUSMC0311 I've heard that line before: "Vengeance is mine. I will repay."
It's bad enough that we are wronged and hurt.
It's even worse when the people that hurt us get away with it and suffer no consequences in life.
How does God punishing them after we die help us in life?
Our lifves are destroyed and can never get it back.
Job only suffered for one day and then God gave him back everything he had lost plus even more on top of that. And that happened while he was still alive. It doesn't say that the people who hurt him (whoever the devil used to kill his family and livestock) were punished in life.
However, the fact that God gave Job more than he had lost easily makes those people inconsequential - as long as they never harm him again.
Why doesn't God give us more than we have lost in our life times when rotten people harm us and steal from us and destroy our lives and reputations?
One day there will be a judgement day and will be delt with then!
I used to feel that way too brother. For almost 40 years I watched people "get away" with evil demonic things directly in my life and in the lives of those that I love. From r*pe and m*lestation to severe mental and emotional ab*se. It took time to find out the truth. But God's word says He pays back perfectly what is owed for our sin. I do believe sometimes it's only paid back in hell (for eternity) but I've also come to find its sometimes paid here on earth too. From grandfather's who were praised as perfect men. To later finding out they may have raped their own daughter and finding out 30 yrs or so after their death that they died writhing and screaming in pain from the cancer that consumed them. Or the uncle who raped his own sister and then tried to rape his niece. He mentally and physically abused people his whole life. It seemed as if he'd gotten away with it, until he was in his 60's and while on another drunken bender was run over by not one, but two cars. He suffered severe brain injuries that resulted in trauma based alzheimers. He died within 10 years with severe PTSD from war that caused him to panic and scream. He forgot he could walk even though the Drs said he was fine physically. So the attendants in the nursing home would find him crawling on his belly dragging himself across the floor trying to escape whatever it was he thought was happening in his mind. Or the mother who was so mentally abusive (physically too) seeming as if she's fine at 65, but only 2 or 3 people in her life knowing she is severely depressed. Constantly anxious. Unable to sleep. Miserable from the moment she wakes until the anxiety hits at night and she has chest pains and dizzy spells and suffers for hours until she can finally pass out. I promise you that these evil, broken, and demonic filled/oppressed people are not happy and absolutely will not get away with it. They are truly miserable even if no one else can see it at the moment. People like them don't prosper. There is no life in them only death. And their evil deeds are nothing more than claw marks they try to leave behind to prove they were ever here. Because this speck of life on earth is all they'll ever get. And that's why I can forgive all. And if I can be completely honest feel sorry them and dont celebrate their demise. My God is a just God. And a true promise keeper. I'd be terrified to think what else is coming for them if they never repent and come to Christ. So keep your eyes on Him brother. And repent for ever questioning who He is. He loves you and they will pay for what they've done even if you never get to know about it.
@@Trucker1487 I certainly hope so.
For a while I had thought that I would like to see them be judged and be handed really harsh punishments for the wrongs they've done. Now, I'm thinking maybe don't even want to be bothered with them. I'd probably be happier never having to interact with such rotten people ever again. Maybe, I'll change my mind and at least want to know if they actualy get punished.
At the moment I am most concerned about the harm done in this life and the last repercusions. The wrongs in life need to be remedied.
If the wrongs in life are not corrected then it looks like God is letting rotten people get away with it.
That just isn't right!
Is all this hierarchy and authority in this world practice for what we'll have to put up with after we die?
What ridiculousness does God have planned for us after we die?
Are we learning and practicing how to put up with utter garbage after we die?
Is this a new sermon?
I've never heard of a Christian being possessed by a demon. I wasn't aware that was possible. I've learned a lot in the last few years but I've never heard that. Not saying I disagree it's just a new concept to me. Or is he talking about demon oppression as opposed to possession.
I kind of had the same question, I think in the context to his story she wasnt possessed, or if she was maybe she wasnt saved yet? I also am not disagreeing but would like a little more light shed on this subject.
Great.
When is God going to put us in the correct lane to have a healthy, wealthy, and successful life?
All these trials and tribulations are taking too long.
Why enjoy God?
Why pray to God? Especially when he doesn't answer those prayers.
Surely everyone has noticed all the suffering in the world and all the disabled people in the world.
Every single one of those people have at least prayed once to have the suffering ended or the disability cured.
How is it possible to enjoy God when he ignores people?
(time: 49:32)
Why would there be noise and distractions in our lives?
God put us in this world with all the noise and distrations.
It's up to God to cut through the noise and distractions in our lives and he needs to do so clearly so that we know it is God that wants to talk to us.
God's will is for someone to be disabled.
What?
That's nuts!
(time: 29:35)
How is God not hiding his will for our lives?
He's not talking to any of us.
Sure the Bible has stories of Abraham, Moses, Gideon, and others.
What about the rest of us?
How do you deal with overbearing parents who seem to enforce their ideas and beliefs on you, and try to squeeze you into their mold, and it feels like they're killing your dreams ?
Hi, I've just seen this today. What age-range are you and are you still living with them? - it will have a direct effect on the advice!
Hi, you didn't come back to me, so if you are still living at home with your parents (under 18), pray and ask for them to have compassion and understanding. You could possibly also ask that they are shown their oppression. I hope this helps.
"Maybe roll with that and see if it ain't better" (time: 29:57)
It often makes things worse for some people while others get to benefit from the suffering and misfortune of those some people.
The fact that others are benefiting from your suffering just makes it SO MUCH WORSE!
God is sick and disgusting!
See how all the girls laughed when he said breakup at 6:30.
Sure, being under God's authority might be ok.
Who would want to go to heaven and be under anyone else's authority?
And that would be forever, and ever?!
Forget that noise!
(time: 1:01:18)
Example: Blind people.
A blind person wants to drive a care for work or for pleasure.
That blind person has that desire.
Is that desire truly against God's will?
Is God so pathetic that he needs people to be blind?
Is God so pathetic that he needs blind people to want to be blind and not want to drive cars?
God has a lot of weird desires in his will.
God: What do you want?
me: bah bah bah..
……
God: No.
me: 😐(😂)
God causing problems in people's lives just to move them somewhere else.
Why can't God just state clearly what he wants?
Why make people jump through hoops?
Is this for God's amusement?
(People losing their job meaning that they need a new job?)
There are all kinds of problems and tragedies where people zig instead of zagging and end up in worse situations than before!
God's methods are absolutely SICKENING!
(time: 29:35)
(time: 57:03)
God is not asking the disabled what they want to do.
The disabled would surely tell God they don't want to be disabled.
Is there something unGodly about not wanting to be disabled?
God is not listening.
God does not care.
This disability nonsense needs to stop?
This injustice going on unpunished needs to stop!
The other problems need to stop!
So God said he gave us every green plant for food…. And “weed” is a “sin” but it’s ok for pastor mark to drink whiskey?!
Marijuana can be helpful when used in the right way medically and stuff. But that's not what you're asking is it? If you're talking about his reference he's talking about abusing it and addiction, which can be done with anything. Whiskey is fine when in moderation. It's getting drunk or stoned that is the issue. Hope this helps.
(time: 1:00:52)
God will make people go where he wants them to go.
God had a fish swallow a guy (I don't remember who" and hold him in its stomache for three days.
If God wants you in California or Detroit against your will then he'll have something swallow you until you give in.
People don't have choices even if they are trying to go north.
Going to California or Dtroit would be like getting an end of life sentence.
God tends to off people however, whenever, and wherever he wants.
Some people get to go to Arizona and have a nice life.
Others are not so lucky.
There are plenty of disabled people and other people in horrible situations with no choices.
There's really no justice in this kind of nonsense.
There is no possible way the disabled want to be disabled.
There is no possible way that the people who suffered injustice want to suffer injustice.
What kind of ridiculous God has this kind of will?
(time: 51:59)
