Maybe you could be of assistance I'm not sure I was ever saved. Sought God with all my heart received no answer and now I am trying to come back to him partially because of His great love but also partially because of a warfare I am in.
A man Determined a good sign of salvation is a change of heart if you have become a new person you can see the changes. Maybe there was something holding you back from truly seeking God but if you really did then HE will find you just keep praying and waiting.
And you can prove that any of it is True??..."Faith" is Gullibility..."Faith" is the excuse people give for believing in something without Evidence to supprt it!!! Jesus Never existed,He is a MYTH!!!
@@jeannieenglewood3987 Lemme tell you that there is enough historical proof to support that Jesus existed. Many historians support this fact namely 1) Tacitus -Considered one of the most accurate historians in the ancient world -Mentioned superstitious ''Christians'' who suffered under Pilate. 2)Suetonius -Chief secretary to Emporor Hadrian -Wrote a man named Chrestus(Christ)lived during the first century(Annals 15-44) 3)Flavius Josephus -Most famous Jewish historian -Refers to James, ''the brother of Jesus'' who was called Christ. 4)Julius Africans -Quoted the historian Thallus in a discussion -Spoke of the darkness which followed the crucifixion of Christ(Extant Writings) 5)Pliny the younger -Recorded early Christian worship practices including worshiping Jesus as God -Noted they were ethical and referred to the love feast and the Lord's supper 6)The Babylonian Talmud -Sanhedrin 43a -Confirms Jesus' crucifixion on the eve of Passover -Records the accusation against Christ of practicing sorcery (miracles) and encoring Jewish apostasy 7)Lucian of Samosata -A 2nd century Greek writer -Admits Jesus was worshipped by Christians, introduced new teachings and was crucified for them -Said that Jesus' teachings included brotherhood of believers and importance of conversion and denial of other gods 8)Mara Bar-Serapion -Confirms Jesus was a wise and virtuous man -Added Jesus was considered by many to be the king of Israel -Recorded that Jesus was put to death by Jews 9)Gnostic writings -The Gospel of Truth -The Apocryphon of John -The Gospel of Thomas -The Treatise on Resurrection and many more. Next time before judging something to be a myth, study the history behind it.🤗
I tried to share the gospel in TH-cam comments, saying something like "Jesus can cure your depression, just turn from your sin and repent, and trust in Jesus." This message convicted me almost immediately as I realized I was bringing people to Jesus through a prosperity gospel rather than the real gospel. Essentially God used this video to show me this. Thanks for this video Living Waters of the very clear danger of preaching another gospel!
the only thing I realize is that we as Christians have totally skewed the concept of "prosperity" The gospel of Jesus IS A PROSPERITY GOSPEL To get saved is absolutely critical. Once I am saved, what then ??? What is good news to saved Christians ?? They are not free under Gods grace. what a thought ? But what is good news for a sick man ? That he does not have to be sick anymore What is good news to a poor man ? That he does not have to be poor what is good news for a heartbroken man ? That he does not need to be sad anymore I think one of the crime of the ages is that we as Christians are NOW believing that Christians HAVE to be Poor and HAVE to be sick and that brings glory to god in our suffering. This is a blatant deception that MANY Christians seem to be be believing I have read and studied the gospel and without a doubt can say that JESUS IS PROSPERITY. He is: (Prov 4:20-22), (Psalm 37:23), (2 Cor 8:9), (Psalm 35:27).TO NAME BUT A FEW Talks about God and his prosperity He has prepared for US The whole Bible talk about Jesus, power, grace, prosperity and regenerative power Why is it that Christians quickly act like the unsaved when certain topics come up. Gods prosperity is on 5 levels: spiritually physically financially psychological relationships Anything less is not from God. We should carry the gospel as a prosperity message , or our message is nothing else than the hopelessness like other religions I for one will accept ALL God's gifts, not just the ones the world wants me to take or believe in. to say that the Gospel should not be a prosperity message is an insult to God. What a great thought to believe that we will live eternally and forever, WITH THE IMPL:ICATION THAT THAT ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS THE DAY YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, not only "one day when we die", that is serpent doctrine 2 Cor 4:13 says I believe and therefore I spoke : So I believe in God and Jesus and what they thought and my words will be aligned to their Words, not a watered down version Luke warm Christians make it out to be. If Life and Death is in the power of the tongue, I will make sure to choose wisely and God Says in Prov 18:21 And this is not aimed at you at all. Would just like to share my feelings over the misunderstanding over the concept of the "prosperity gospel" It is being abused by many people, but God supplies all my need (Phil 4:19) and due to the abusing thereof, does not mean that the prosperity gospel is now to be seen as false. Never been more true actually and the devils' masterstroke to make Christians believe that God stands for anything else than prosperity
@@pieterduplessis6906 Hello! I agree with you, and I am reminded of (Matthew, as it says we have not because we ask not or we ask amiss.) Also, I think of those people who seem to want all the benefits of a child of GOD --- but they are not applying GOD'S WORD to their life, they are not following JESUS, and they believe in the "worldly prosperity gospel" the false gospel of getting an emotional salvation and all the goodies that go with it. These people do not know GOD'S true Gospel of Salvation. They're definitely is a false"prosperity gospel" at large in the world.
GOD doesn't bless sin. GOD does give more light to those who seek HIM diligently. I see GOD'S Love, Mercies, Grace and Providence everyday, and I thank GOD for it. More often than not, people seem to seek GOD after a tragedy has already happened, ( for me --- it was a drunk driver killing my precious mother that made me seek after GOD with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul, and all my strength!!! I pray others don't wait for a tragedy to seek GOD diligently!
@@kimberleerivera1483 could not agree with you more. my dad also had to hit rock bottom before he was saved. He always say that it is his with that other people get to know God without tragedy. It is amazingly sad to see people either reject God or totally represent who He is in a false way Go gives you so much peace, prosperous ways and grace. Without Him NOTHING is possible and I am so glad to believe in HIM with everything. The world with it's "bright lights" become so pale in the glory of God
@@pieterduplessis6906 Yes! Glory To GOD!!! GOD is almighty and powerful! GODhas done everything for the sinner to come to repentance, what else could anyone want!? Thank you, and may GOD continue to bless us richly with HIS truth, love and strength!!!
@@thesheffinator7124 I never said religion is real. But my relationship with my Lord and savior is very real. You need delivered from your spirit of Antichrist before it's to late.
Randall Hosey Isn’t that interesting how that happens? Guess that’s why Jesus says you can’t serve two masters (God and the “world”) at the same time. Either you will hate the one and love the other or loyal to one and despise the other.
As a very young boy, I believed in God. I was raised Catholic, but I hated going to church, because they made me feel bad that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. As a young adult, I was caught in the crossfire of both of my parents verbal battles, and was extremely miserable. I eventually went to a non-denominational church, and received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I started on a great journey, even was baptized in tongues, but then later, it all turned sour. I had become a victim of a pastor's politics, which caused me to leave that church, and spiral down, backsliding into a dark pathway. I went to other churches, but wasn't content. I had a friend who was Baptist, that bent God's rules and shared their views which, wasn't sitting with me well. I stumbled upon the videos of Ray Comfort, and have been watching them daily, and I received them well. I felt in my heart, that Ray was telling the whole truth entirely. The man has lived it, and so has Kirk. My pathway has changed once again, and I'm happy it has. Being miserable isn't an option I would choose to be. Receive the blessed path, and walk in Peace. Glory be to God the Father in heaven, though the sacrifice of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen. 🙏🏻🙂
We need the righteousness of christ to be able to withstand what live throws at us People feel condemn already without being accused The woman at the well was a good demonstration No t have not kept all God's commandments I have fallen short of God's glory Only by God's grace we stand I don't know all the com mandments I will open psalm 51 and meditate
I love how Ray Comfort is just looking at Kirk Cameron. It’s almost like he’s looking at him like “I’m proud of him and love the work that God is doing in his life.” Keep it up you guys. Great teaching🙏🏾
1 Timothy 1:15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
Ray used to visit Santa Cruz (CA) and do street ministry (back in the earlier 1990's). My friend Barron was a volunteer once; he laid on the sidewalk covered with a sheet like a dean man. Several other men stood close by, all dressed in black suits, white shirt, and black ties. Ray sat on top of a 12' ladder, as passersby took notice, many folks started gathering around these men to see what was happening, the larger the crowd, the faster it seemed to grow. When Ray thought the time was right, he began preaching about the man below him who had just passed away (where did his soul and spirit go?). Soon thereafter he swung the conversation to the spiritual realm and used much the same methods you just watched. That was a super powerful message. Ray did the same at Huntington Beach Pier, Malibu and many spots around Southern California. I've taken his "Way of the Master" course on Evangelism, it's super good and will sure prepare any Christians who has a sincere desire to be a witness for Christ. Have a blessed day folks!
@@SSGwattedge Same for me. Ray Comfort's 'Living Water' channel popped in my recomended videos & I've been draw into watching them ever since. I can now understand more clearly for myself things I never could grasp before. I know God is bringing all these truths to me now for a greater purpose than myself. Blessings.
Amen Ray this has opened my eyes to why my man methods do not work. I am a new believer in Jesus and I'm a sinner. Please pray for me to know more about my Savior. And learn more about my Lord and Savior. Thank you and God bless this world.
I just watched this phenomenal teaching with my children aged 9, 8, and 4! What a blessing for such a time as this!! My children understood every word! This is age appropriate for children to senior citizens! This teaching needs to be taught in EVERY CHURCH IN AMERICA!!!! To God be the glory! I pray that many false conversions and back sliders will come to the TRUTH!!!
I'm a South African Christian who was steeped in the hippie culture of the 1960's. God brought me into the Kingdom of God skid marks and all by using the Law and the potential of hell as my future. When I realized that JESUS CHRIST and His sacrificial death were the only answer to my sin condition I gladly surrendered my life to Him and ended up in Kingdom ministry .....
I was a dedicated believer but at the age of 26, I got "bored", and wanted to taste the worldly life. I traveled, drank and had all the fun I could. My life became a disaster. At age 33, i survived a gun shot to the head miraculously after an argument with a man on the street.. I remembered who I was at age 26, and I missed him, thus I came back and never regretted it. Finally home. The wayward son.
Parachute analogy... Plane is going down/have to jump from the plane = your life is going to end/doomed due to sin Parachute = Jesus Putting on Parachute = accepting Jesus as your Savior This looks all well and good until you realize that it's essentially sadomasochism because it is God "forcing you to jump" or "making the plane go down." Under this model, God creates the rules against certain things (making them a sin), and then creates you "in his image" to be sinful (partaking in the activities that he made a sin). And then he offers a path of salvation through vicarious redemption (torturing and killing his son-self). Imagine a guy holding a gun is forcing you to jump out of a plane, but then he says there is a parachute under the seat. Therefore he loves you, and should be praised for giving you a parachute. How ridiculous...
@@edrueter9 sin and "evil" are not "things". It's the absence of good, it's different. Like Adam and Eve, they chose to be their own gods when they ate the fruit, not to be fulfilled by God, but to make their own rules and do their own things. Therefore evil and sin are the absence of God (righteousness, good) Sorry my bad english btw.
@@nannnyy9390 Things would have been a lot more convenient if god had not placed a forbidden item in the form of delicious fruit in the center of the garden. Sounds a lot like temptation.
I've been a luke warm back slider all my life. Thank you Ray Comfort for your inspiring messages. I am now reading my Bible everyday. My life is so much positive now.🙏🏾
Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the 3rd day! Believe on him alone and you're always saved. Once Saved Always Saved! Salvation can never be lost!
If every church in America played this video in place of the sermon this week, it would change our country overnight! What a POWERFUL and much needed message!
THIS teaching should be taught in every church!!!! Without repentance there is no remission of sin THE WORST THING ANYONE COULD EVER HEAR IS JESUS - on that day saying Get away from ME you you evil worker of iniquity. I NEVER KNEW YOU. Why ? because they didn’t recognize & forsake they’re ways to follow/obey Jesus ITS THAT VITALLY IMPORTANT!!!!
The reason for so many "believers" falling away is a reult of them realizing that their decision was based on emotional appeals and emotionally-charged responses and not good evidence.
Fair. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that most decisions you make on a daily basis are based on emotions. Example. You could just eat flavorless survival rations which contain all the essential nutrients your body needs for you to survive, but you prefer the flavors of your favorite foods. That’s an emotional connection to your sustenance, not a logical one. Example. I’ll bet you don’t have sex for the sole purpose of reproduction, you probably have sex recreationally as well, if at all. There’s no logical reason for that, it’s emotional. Conclusive. Your emotions are more important to your life than you think, so how come an emotional appeal - IF that was the only appeal, which it’s not - is perfectly justifiable until it comes to religion. Where’s the logic in that? Suggestion. Maybe you should clean your own house and eliminate your own hypocrisies before judging others for what you do on a daily basis. And maybe once you realize that you can never get rid of your own hypocrisies, you can join the rest of us who have it figured out. I’ll be waiting for you bro.
Starcloak Starside that’s exactly what I thought when I read this and you put it perfectly .. it takes a heck of a lot more discipline to live your life in the will of God, so what you said makes no sense , I hope you see sense
Allan Francis Xavier Do you know Godfrey Fernandes? I don't know him I just know that he's from your city and I just think that it's ironic that you're from there and I just took a notion to look him up today...
@@reneewashington8010 Hi Renee. I feel like you misunderstood the context of this video. Perhaps you could watch it again. You can also get in touch with Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron to talk with them. Blessings.
I have testified that Jesus is lord. Most smile and say. Yes me to glad to hear it. Others say thank me when I add ask Jesus to come into your heart he has made me glad. And never let me down. Some get a little upset and turn away. And some thanks me for asking them. My point . I only have a little time to say something about my lord and loving Jesus because I am working in a public place. And then I pray for them to yet hear more as they go about their day. Just maybe with prayer and testify about Jesus God will do the rest. But I don't beg them. Just planting an ideal in side. Roman's ch 10 v9- 10.
@@padraic1983 As long as we have a sinful nature we can't obey the commandments like a second nature. We still have a sinful nature even as Christians...I think people tend to forget that fact. Jesus commanded us to be perfect to make us realize that we can't be perfect and that's why we need him in our lives because he was perfect for us on our behalf.
@Yeshua’s Crown: 144,000 "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee." John 9:35-37 KJV
@The Wife of Yeshua HaMashiach "The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he." John 4:25-26 KJV He says He is the Messiah. The Messiah had to be both God and human. If he were not human, the suffering was not a legal payment for sin. If the messiah was not God, he could not possibly endure God's eternal wrath.
@The Wife of Yeshua HaMashiach In these passages: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:1-5 KJV And here that He also was God: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14 KJV How it is possible that Jesus was both God and man, I do not understand. The Bible teaches it, so it is true, even though I cannot understand how.
I find when a person has everything, looks,fame,and fortune how difficult it must be to give it up and pick up his cross and follow God.. This shows me the power of God. I have a lot of respect for those who sacrifice to serve. Gob bless you both. Psalm 91
I must admit I used to be guilty of committing the same mistake...as using the secondary effects of "peace, love, becoming a more moral person" as a reason to believe in Jesus when talking to my non-believing friends. I'll remember your message and approach when I'll be talking to them next. Thank you Ray and Living Water! You guys are truly inspirational.
As a grown man it put me in tears. Today was my first time going out with my fellow brother in church sharing the news of Jesus Christ 🙏. This improved the way I'm now gonna go out it. Thank you Jesus Christ for giving your life after being wiped for the whole world's sins and making so that we can have a relationship with the Heavenly Father.
The best sermon I've heard / seen in my life... This is the first video of yours that I've watched. Truly men of God you're doing a great job in Christ.. be blessed!!!
I AM ASKING GOD FOR THE BOKDNESS OF STRENGTH TO EVANGELIZE USING THIS MESSAGE. THIS IS THE HARD WAY BUT I KNOW ITS THE RIGHY WAY. SOMETIMES I JUST WANNA EVERYONE TO LIKE ME EVERYONE TO BE MY FRIEND EVERYONE TO BE MY BUDDY AND SO I START WITH CAN I TELL YOU ABOUT JESUS BUT I KNOW DEEP DOWN THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY. I JUST PRAY TO GOD ALMIGHTY THAT HE GIVES ME THE BOLDNESS AND FAITHFULNESS TO SHARE THE GOSPEL IN THIS MANNER.
This has been so eye opening! I've cried so much because I've reflected on all 10 of the commandments and I've broken every single one. I am so sorry Father, for not revering You enough to even keep one! I pray for your mercy and turn from my sin with trust in the great gift of the sacrifice Jesus made....
This video shows what's wrong with Joel Osteen and prosperity preachers in general. The opposite problem is when you scare people about their sins and don't give good news. Many TH-cam atheists grew up in this environment and they falsely assume this as a universal paradigm for all self-identified "Christians."
@@pradeepebey6246 No, Joel Osteen is a blasphemous heretic who preys on those who have no clue about Jesus, and the whole idea behind his teaching is about money. Even one of his books 'Your Best Life Now' says it all, because Jesus says that if you're trying to gain this life you'll lose it, but if you dismiss this life in favor of eternity with God, you will find your life. Osteen and his abominable wife, Creflo Dollar, Todd White, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, etc. They're ALL heretics.
Praise God for these two men explaining in detail how the Gospel works - how to use it to get men and women saved. They give many concrete examples on exactly how to witness to the lost world that works. I took a couple of hours to stop and start this video while taking extensive notes and will use this teaching to witness to others the rest of my life. It is not enough just to quickly listen to this exhaustive teaching but take notes and apply this. It must be digested gradually over an hour or two and then go back over ones notes over and over again. Cameron and Ray nailed this teaching is so many different ways and show how to lead a person to Christ that will (stick so to speak) and truly save a person into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Thank you so much Cameron and Ray for the way you broke this down with powerful examples and put the teaching into simple steps.
How's it going so far? I had the same idea to hear carefully and take notes in a way I can practice and use to spread the gospel. I'm a newly converted and the videos from Living Waters have helped me to understand a lot of things and improve my faith in the Lord Jesus.
I grew up in a Christian household, but I was never really a christian. I turn eighteen years old in five days, and only recently was genuinely saved. I pray that in my eighteenth year on earth I live for the Lord, grow in Christ, and spread his Gospel to others.
I gave my life to Jesus when I was 21 in one little Holy Spirit filled Pentecostal church. Now I'm 48, still following Him with my whole heart. His grace sustains me. Praise God! ✨
I got THAT message loud and clear...and it's been FAR too long since I've confessed my sins to the Lord and repented for them. It's useless to try to avoid it, at least for me it is..those sins, when pointed out, just keep piling up as I start remembering and counting, I guess I'm not very good at keeping a running tab in my head because half the time I don't even realize that I'm doing it until later!! (how pathetic is THAT?). I appreciate this sermon more than words can express for shining a light on this for me😌 Praise God, He brought this to me at exactly the right time, and before I piled up a bunch more blasphemies and lies. I try though, thank goodness for forgiveness.
The rich young man's heart was tied to his wealth, to riches, just as Abram's heart was tied to Isaac. The Lord wants our hearts to be connected to Him, not to what is around us, because everything is His as long as our life is in His hand. Glory to the living forever.
Decent video. I plead the blood of the Lamb over my body, mind, and spirit. Thank you Jesus for your precious blood. Hallelujah to the lamb of God. Amen. Amen. Jesus is the bright Morning Star and the Christ. Praise Jesus Christ. Yeshua reigns!
Lone Wolf your statement is so wrong, don't know where to start. Our law system, our morals all come from the Bible. That is the oldest known record. There is why so many courts, even here in America had a 10 commandments plaque. Even your 7 day week has no other known source than the Genesis count of Creation. You can explain month, day, year through astronomy, but not the week. Same thing goes for marriage. All things have oldest record in common with the Bible. I feel that you have something personal going on, emotional, not rational against It. I ask your forgiveness if any of my brothers ever hurt you. I know that most of the time we sinners, even loving God, represent Him really really bad, for being sinners. Or if you are hurt with God because someone close to you died or suffered, that's not God being unjust, it is just what happens in this world of sin. God has promise to end sin and suffering, but is very hard to separate sin from sinners, so what is perceived as God not found nothing, it is actually mercy, patience, that everyone has a chance to hear and accept His redemption.
Thank you Mr. Lone Wolf for being so polite while actually disagreeing. However I actually agree with you in some of your comments. I do think that sadly that Christians have and still try to, in fact, to suppress others. While most are/were only called Christians because they attend some denomination or marked a X on some form, there are also some that are true Christians with the right intentions, but imperfect men that they are have done more harm than good. They fail to allow free will and respect others liberties in the way that the God they follow does. Most are only followers of churches, but do not actually have any relationship with God. On the day of judgement, They will say they did many things in God's behalf and God will say I never knew you (described in Matthew 7:23). Most people miss the point, both Christian and non Christian, the God of the Bible is all about relationships, not do and do nots. Genesis describes that Adam and Eve sinned, felt guilt for the first time and ran to hide from God, while God was coming after them to restore the broken relationship. And it is men that has been running from God ever since while He is trying to restore the loving relationship. He sent His only Son even, and His own so called "followers" delivered His Son to die. Even then He still chasing us with love and men just keep rejecting Him and trying to hide as far as possible from God. Most live or experienced a Christian life like a bad marriage. When a marriage has true love is heaven on Earth, and there is nothing in the whole world that is better or more valuable. However when love is not present, it feels like a prison, all you see are limitations, lack of freedom. There are few things in life worst then a bad marriage, but also there is nothing as wonderful as a good one. The secret is in the relationship, in the love, not in the lifestyle, not in the things you have to do for your husband or wife. Unfortunately even most Christians have failed to see and understand this. I know you are not in a good place with God right now and is running from Him, but I pray that in my behalf he bless your life, protect you and that you may some day feel His infinite love for you. Take care my friend.
Lone Wolf I don't mean to demean you in any way but I think you do not understand that it is not a Religion but a true Faith and Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ that we speak of. I am not affiliated with any religion because they seem to twist the word of God. I am a personal follower of Almighty God and his son Jesus Christ or Yashuah. In a way your statement is true about religion, but not about a true follower of the Gospel. May God bless you and yours.
God bless you both Ray and Kirk!!! Loved the 3 left behind movies so well done and seeing you out there saving souls is amazing! Thank you guys for being a light in this dark world!
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, preaching was hellfire and brimstone, grinding our sinful behavior deep in to the mind. As a young child growing into a teenager, I was traumatized by what I heard. It drove me away from God, He was angry and unforgiving, not a God to whom I could go to with my problems and seek comfort. I struggled most of my adult life with a true relationship with Him as a result of this method of "conversion". I know the Truth now, and I appreciate that your methods are more "Christ-like". He never raised his voice or made anyone feel like they were worthless when He taught. Well, except when he overturned the moneychangers tables. And that was righteous indignation which they totally deserved for defiling the temple.
Mary if indeed you still see a difference between yourself and the moneychangers thinking that somehow you yourself are fundamentally better than them then I am afraid Christ has not yet shown you your sin.After all when the Bible says "and you shall loathe yourselves..." it doesn't refer to the touchy-feely-good news feeling you described. When Christ meets a person they KNOW immediately they are worthless. You were traumatized by what you heard simply because you did not believe the preacher that you DESERVED all that fire and brimstone and righteous indignation. (and if even now you do not understand that fact--then I am afraid there has been no converting work done in your soul)
Jesus was not a soft man - he used a whip at the right place and the word at the right place - let me tell you this when my mother died ( a gift from god ) I never questioned him but the earth ( or the profane) - he helps me since 10 years when I really need it - I am convinced I would not be alive without him - the creator has not only the masterplan he has a grace beyond our understanding - he sees and treats your heart like a good mother does - god bless you.
@@kb27787 Wow, i definetly understand Mary! Sinners arent worthless in Gods eyes, they deserve punishment, hell. But what did God do for those Sinners? He became a human being and died for all our sins! Why? Cause we arent precious to him? Because were worthless to him? NO, ofcourse NOT! We are extremly precious to him, he doesnt want anybody to end up in hell! (2. Peter 3, 7-9) Preaching youre worthless is as much a false Gospel as Preaching youre good. So, what can we conclude? Were sinners, we deserve death! But JESUS paid the price, he took our wages onto himself. Thus if you understand youre a sinner and cant save yourself and when you understand that you need Jesus and trust in him; AND repent of your sins; Youre saved for all eternity.
Thanks Ray, Kirk, for a really great show i always wondered why some people just don't wanna except the Gospel now I know why thanks for opening my eyes to see!!!
Those who do NOT attend a "church" May actually NOT be "backsliders" They went and saw that the "churches" do NOT actually teach what the scriptures say. That is me, I went and through study I saw that what the churches say is NOT what scriptures say, and I worship, praise, pray, and continue to study, and put into my life what the scriptures actually do say. "Churches" are a 501c3 business that takes money from the needy and just keep most of it for themselves. If I see a family in need, I give and do what I can to HELP THEM IN THEIR NEED.
Becky Shock No church run by humans is perfect. Find one that places Christ and God's word as the foundation and you will be encouraged, convicted and strengthened.
There are Christ based churches out there. It's important to have a deep family fellowship with other believers. Working together to do the Lord's will and helping others. God bless you.
Search for the body of Christ, and what that stand for. I'm also in a searching state, and what I keep hearing is about the body of Christ, the church, we need the church like the old testament needed the priests, ... The priest didnt have a job, a source of income, so the people were told to help out, pitch in, provide, same as our church now. Pick your church, your tithe means you like what they say, but more importantly, your tithe is to God, not the church. God owns the money, owns the world, but God wants you to be a faithful servant, and faithful steward of His possessions. Hope this makes sense, it's not the church, it's the people in the church, and if the church has alot of bad people, it's a bad church, and you might be one of them without knowing, I certainly am, and trying to see this out , figure myself out, repent and turn. I aunt perfect, but I do see the value of church and religion, and the good and bad people inside the church. Remember, Lucifer goes to church, he acually wants to be worshipped, so he loves, if someone like him can love, he loves church... Think about it.
Thank you for all the videos you have produced and watching them has helped me be much more effective at witnessing. It makes 100% sense to use the law on the unconverted person before telling them any good news.

@@grizzlemc1662 well it has helped me realize that a person MUST realize that he has seriously offended the Lord and in danger of hell, otherwise the Gospel means little or nothing to him.

Sometimes i try to be everybodys buddy and sometimes i find myself trying to make Jesus cool to everybody or shydown his name. Im asking the Lord God Almighty to rip that shame out of my heart. I want to confess my sins of acting ashamed of him and not going all out for Him and ask Jesus to burn me up with the fire of the Holy Ghost so that I can share the gospel the right way not just the quick way just to do it and get outta there!
Too all of you who are interested: I have been teaching this method now for several months. My students are eating it up, and it's energized the way they share the Gospel. I'm now in the process of building a nationwide (eventually worldwide) evangelism network to train, encourage, and dispatch evangelists to anywhere there is a need. We do this, because we not only have a love and passion for the lost, but also to be obedient to the "11th commandment" to share the Gospel to all people, and make disciples. PLEASE hit me up if you have an interest. Shalom to you all...
I ya one thing, Kirk Cameron really impresses me. I grew up years ago when he was on the cover of every teen magazine in existence. That was the go to perfect guy for every teenage girl you ever met. Alyssa Milano was the one every one of us guys obsessed over. The fact that he has grown from a celebrity teen heartthrob to living for Christ and doing so many good things to bring Glory to his name just really impresses me to no end. Not committing a sin because you really didn't have the chance to be in that situation is still not committing it, but just imagine the world he had to grow up in. The perversions, ultra excess, and indulgence in whatever whenever they could possibly want. Just the pure unfiltered EVIL that we see come out of Hollywood. For this man to stand up for God with his head on straight really is a testament to what kind of man he really is. I can't even fathom the kind of attacks satan would throw at a celebrity who is living right with God. it would be our temptations X 10 !! just my 2 cents sorry to ramble just really wanted to say that. I really like these videos as well. Clear and to the point. I prefer to learn taught as the history lesson it really is. the history of mankind and everything in the world past, present, and future. Prayed for the strength to fight off my evil temptations and wisdom to understand more. All I really have ever asked for and God has been working on me really strong lately with a lot of the videos I've found to learn. it's like almost overnight my mind was blocked to the thoughts I had that brought me down and I have understood a few things that really put puzzle pieces together for me. Wonderful when it's so obvious that even people around you notice an odd change in you.
Just a thought to add to what you said about Kirk. To me, the authenticity of his changed life is proof of the Power of God. Everything that he "had" in Hollywood became filthy rags in Kirk's eyes, when compared to Jesus Christ and the LIFE that HE gives. And all of the "Draw" of fame and fortune, paled in comparison.
Praise God for what he did in Kirk’s life and for what he’s doing in yours! I feel the same way about my negative intrusive thoughts being blocked & I’m coming to new understandings through Christ every day. God is answering questions I’ve had for awhile now through his word and fellow believers, like the men in these videos. What a wonderful, perfect God we serve!
Excellent! It's all about a correct handling of law and gospel. The law shows need, utterly condemns and the gospel gives life and comfort to the wounded heart. Let us preach as we should!
i was born believing in God and Jesus Christ! i was blind however thinking different things and now thanks to this channel my eyes have been opened and now still working to be better! im progressing with reading my bible for the first time!
Bless your ministry, Ray. You brought me to true repentance and thus to everlasting life. I still look at my sins, and am apalled at them. I am so unworthy. Praise Jesus for his mercy and his sacrifice!
It’s crazy how we read these passages that Kirk gave us, and never looked at it as he explained it which is explained in perfection. Thank you Lord for using your servants in such a great way!
Yessss I understand now I new something was wrong thankyou boys and thankyou lord for coming into the world and saving us with this Knowledge wow! I know what I need to do now, oh how cunning is the enemy
I became a believer when I was 26 years old I am now 77 years old and I still belong to Jesus.
Glory To GOD!!!
Maybe you could be of assistance I'm not sure I was ever saved. Sought God with all my heart received no answer and now I am trying to come back to him partially because of His great love but also partially because of a warfare I am in.
A man Determined a good sign of salvation is a change of heart if you have become a new person you can see the changes. Maybe there was something holding you back from truly seeking God but if you really did then HE will find you just keep praying and waiting.
And you can prove that any of it is True??..."Faith" is Gullibility..."Faith" is the excuse people give for believing in something without Evidence to supprt it!!! Jesus Never existed,He is a MYTH!!!

Next time before judging something to be a myth, study the history behind it.🤗
I tried to share the gospel in TH-cam comments, saying something like "Jesus can cure your depression, just turn from your sin and repent, and trust in Jesus." This message convicted me almost immediately as I realized I was bringing people to Jesus through a prosperity gospel rather than the real gospel. Essentially God used this video to show me this. Thanks for this video Living Waters of the very clear danger of preaching another gospel!
the only thing I realize is that we as Christians have totally skewed the concept of "prosperity"
The gospel of Jesus IS A PROSPERITY GOSPEL
To get saved is absolutely critical. Once I am saved, what then ??? What is good news to saved Christians ?? They are not free under Gods grace. what a thought ?
But what is good news for a sick man ? That he does not have to be sick anymore
What is good news to a poor man ? That he does not have to be poor
what is good news for a heartbroken man ? That he does not need to be sad anymore
I think one of the crime of the ages is that we as Christians are NOW believing that Christians HAVE to be Poor and HAVE to be sick and that brings glory to god in our suffering. This is a blatant deception that MANY Christians seem to be be believing
I have read and studied the gospel and without a doubt can say that JESUS IS PROSPERITY. He is:
(Prov 4:20-22), (Psalm 37:23), (2 Cor 8:9), (Psalm 35:27).TO NAME BUT A FEW Talks about God and his prosperity He has prepared for US
The whole Bible talk about Jesus, power, grace, prosperity and regenerative power
Why is it that Christians quickly act like the unsaved when certain topics come up. Gods prosperity is on 5 levels:
spiritually
physically
financially
psychological
relationships
Anything less is not from God. We should carry the gospel as a prosperity message , or our message is nothing else than the hopelessness like other religions
I for one will accept ALL God's gifts, not just the ones the world wants me to take or believe in. to say that the Gospel should not be a prosperity message is an insult to God. What a great thought to believe that we will live eternally and forever, WITH THE IMPL:ICATION THAT THAT ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS THE DAY YOU ARE BORN AGAIN, not only "one day when we die", that is serpent doctrine
2 Cor 4:13 says I believe and therefore I spoke : So I believe in God and Jesus and what they thought and my words will be aligned to their Words, not a watered down version Luke warm Christians make it out to be.
If Life and Death is in the power of the tongue, I will make sure to choose wisely and God Says in Prov 18:21
And this is not aimed at you at all. Would just like to share my feelings over the misunderstanding over the concept of the "prosperity gospel"
It is being abused by many people, but God supplies all my need (Phil 4:19) and due to the abusing thereof, does not mean that the prosperity gospel is now to be seen as false. Never been more true actually and the devils' masterstroke to make Christians believe that God stands for anything else than prosperity
@@pieterduplessis6906 Hello!
I agree with you, and I am reminded of (Matthew, as it says we have not because we ask not or we ask amiss.)
Also, I think of those people who seem to want all the benefits of a child of GOD --- but they are not applying GOD'S WORD to their life, they are not following JESUS, and they believe in the "worldly prosperity gospel" the false gospel of getting an emotional salvation and all the goodies that go with it.
These people do not know GOD'S true Gospel of Salvation.
They're definitely is a false"prosperity gospel" at large in the world.
GOD doesn't bless sin.
GOD does give more light to those who seek HIM diligently. I see GOD'S Love, Mercies, Grace and Providence everyday, and I thank GOD for it.
More often than not, people seem to seek GOD after a tragedy has already happened, ( for me --- it was a drunk driver killing my precious mother that made me seek after GOD with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul, and all my strength!!!
I pray others don't wait for a tragedy to seek GOD diligently!
@@kimberleerivera1483 could not agree with you more. my dad also had to hit rock bottom before he was saved. He always say that it is his with that other people get to know God without tragedy. It is amazingly sad to see people either reject God or totally represent who He is in a false way
Go gives you so much peace, prosperous ways and grace. Without Him NOTHING is possible and I am so glad to believe in HIM with everything. The world with it's "bright lights" become so pale in the glory of God
@@pieterduplessis6906 Yes!
Glory To GOD!!!
GOD is almighty and powerful!
GODhas done everything for the sinner to come to repentance, what else could anyone want!?
Thank you, and may GOD continue to bless us richly with HIS truth, love and strength!!!
The closer I get to the Father Son and the Holy Ghost ,the less I care about things of this world.
I agree
I really loved this video,
Me too! 😊
@@thesheffinator7124 I never said religion is real. But my relationship with my Lord and savior is very real. You need delivered from your spirit of Antichrist before it's to late.
Randall Hosey Isn’t that interesting how that happens? Guess that’s why Jesus says you can’t serve two masters (God and the “world”) at the same time. Either you will hate the one and love the other or loyal to one and despise the other.
As a very young boy, I believed in God. I was raised Catholic, but I hated going to church, because they made me feel bad that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. As a young adult, I was caught in the crossfire of both of my parents verbal battles, and was extremely miserable. I eventually went to a non-denominational church, and received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I started on a great journey, even was baptized in tongues, but then later, it all turned sour. I had become a victim of a pastor's politics, which caused me to leave that church, and spiral down, backsliding into a dark pathway. I went to other churches, but wasn't content. I had a friend who was Baptist, that bent God's rules and shared their views which, wasn't sitting with me well. I stumbled upon the videos of Ray Comfort, and have been watching them daily, and I received them well. I felt in my heart, that Ray was telling the whole truth entirely. The man has lived it, and so has Kirk. My pathway has changed once again, and I'm happy it has. Being miserable isn't an option I would choose to be. Receive the blessed path, and walk in Peace.
Glory be to God the Father in heaven, though the sacrifice of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen. 🙏🏻🙂
"It's not an issue of happiness but of righteousness".... AMEN! That's it!
Amèn.
But when you KNOW you're pursuing righteousness and becoming MORE pleasing to Jesus.... it DOES bring you happiness.
Happy to hear this today. I was rude with a cashier today and this helped me to repent and strive to be nice. Amen.

This is so amazing. So grateful the Lord brought this to me.

1 Timothy 1:15
It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
Ray used to visit Santa Cruz (CA) and do street ministry (back in the earlier 1990's). My friend Barron was a volunteer once; he laid on the sidewalk covered with a sheet like a dean man. Several other men stood close by, all dressed in black suits, white shirt, and black ties. Ray sat on top of a 12' ladder, as passersby took notice, many folks started gathering around these men to see what was happening, the larger the crowd, the faster it seemed to grow. When Ray thought the time was right, he began preaching about the man below him who had just passed away (where did his soul and spirit go?). Soon thereafter he swung the conversation to the spiritual realm and used much the same methods you just watched. That was a super powerful message. Ray did the same at Huntington Beach Pier, Malibu and many spots around Southern California. I've taken his "Way of the Master" course on Evangelism, it's super good and will sure prepare any Christians who has a sincere desire to be a witness for Christ. Have a blessed day folks!
Wonderful humble soldiers of Christ thank you Jesus for guiding me to your path and answering my heart felt prayers hallelujah

No such thing as backsliding and the bible never mentions it. Only believers or unbelievers. The backsliders were never born again before
I'm a South African Christian who was steeped in the hippie culture of the 1960's. God brought me into the Kingdom of God skid marks and all by using the Law and the potential of hell as my future. When I realized that JESUS CHRIST and His sacrificial death were the only answer to my sin condition I gladly surrendered my life to Him and ended up in Kingdom ministry .....
I was a dedicated believer but at the age of 26, I got "bored", and wanted to taste the worldly life. I traveled, drank and had all the fun I could. My life became a disaster. At age 33, i survived a gun shot to the head miraculously after an argument with a man on the street.. I remembered who I was at age 26, and I missed him, thus I came back and never regretted it. Finally home. The wayward son.
The parachute analogy is so good.
I wish he would tell them that Jesus won't fail even though a parachute might!
Parachute analogy...
Plane is going down/have to jump from the plane = your life is going to end/doomed due to sin
Parachute = Jesus
Putting on Parachute = accepting Jesus as your Savior
This looks all well and good until you realize that it's essentially sadomasochism because it is God "forcing you to jump" or "making the plane go down." Under this model, God creates the rules against certain things (making them a sin), and then creates you "in his image" to be sinful (partaking in the activities that he made a sin). And then he offers a path of salvation through vicarious redemption (torturing and killing his son-self).
Imagine a guy holding a gun is forcing you to jump out of a plane, but then he says there is a parachute under the seat. Therefore he loves you, and should be praised for giving you a parachute. How ridiculous...
@@edrueter9 sin and "evil" are not "things". It's the absence of good, it's different. Like Adam and Eve, they chose to be their own gods when they ate the fruit, not to be fulfilled by God, but to make their own rules and do their own things. Therefore evil and sin are the absence of God (righteousness, good)
Sorry my bad english btw.
@@nannnyy9390 Things would have been a lot more convenient if god had not placed a forbidden item in the form of delicious fruit in the center of the garden. Sounds a lot like temptation.

Without repentance there is no remission of sin
THE WORST THING ANYONE COULD EVER HEAR
IS JESUS - on that day saying
Get away from ME you you evil worker of iniquity. I NEVER KNEW YOU.
Why ? because they didn’t recognize & forsake they’re ways to follow/obey Jesus
ITS THAT VITALLY IMPORTANT!!!!
The reason for so many "believers" falling away is a reult of them realizing that their decision was based on emotional appeals and emotionally-charged responses and not good evidence.
It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle..
Fair. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that most decisions you make on a daily basis are based on emotions.
Example. You could just eat flavorless survival rations which contain all the essential nutrients your body needs for you to survive, but you prefer the flavors of your favorite foods. That’s an emotional connection to your sustenance, not a logical one.
Example. I’ll bet you don’t have sex for the sole purpose of reproduction, you probably have sex recreationally as well, if at all. There’s no logical reason for that, it’s emotional.
Conclusive. Your emotions are more important to your life than you think, so how come an emotional appeal - IF that was the only appeal, which it’s not - is perfectly justifiable until it comes to religion. Where’s the logic in that?
Suggestion. Maybe you should clean your own house and eliminate your own hypocrisies before judging others for what you do on a daily basis. And maybe once you realize that you can never get rid of your own hypocrisies, you can join the rest of us who have it figured out. I’ll be waiting for you bro.
I agree with this statement replacing the word "evidence" with "acceptance and repentance."
Starcloak Starside that’s exactly what I thought when I read this and you put it perfectly .. it takes a heck of a lot more discipline to live your life in the will of God, so what you said makes no sense , I hope you see sense
Ray received Jesus at 22, in 1971, which is a long strong path of an example of a true disciple of Jesus. That's totally awesome people!!

Hi Renee. I feel like you misunderstood the context of this video. Perhaps you could watch it again. You can also get in touch with Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron to talk with them. Blessings.
I have testified that Jesus is lord. Most smile and say. Yes me to glad to hear it. Others say thank me when I add ask Jesus to come into your heart he has made me glad. And never let me down. Some get a little upset and turn away. And some thanks me for asking them. My point . I only have a little time to say something about my lord and loving Jesus because I am working in a public place. And then I pray for them to yet hear more as they go about their day. Just maybe with prayer and testify about Jesus God will do the rest. But I don't beg them. Just planting an ideal in side.

As long as we have a sinful nature we can't obey the commandments like a second nature.
We still have a sinful nature even as Christians...I think people tend to forget that fact.
Jesus commanded us to be perfect to make us realize that we can't be perfect and that's why we need him in our lives because he was perfect for us on our behalf.
Amen, he spoke in parables , Jesus is god
@Yeshua’s Crown: 144,000 "Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee."
John 9:35-37 KJV
@The Wife of Yeshua HaMashiach "The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he."
John 4:25-26 KJV
He says He is the Messiah. The Messiah had to be both God and human. If he were not human, the suffering was not a legal payment for sin. If the messiah was not God, he could not possibly endure God's eternal wrath.
@The Wife of Yeshua HaMashiach In these passages:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
John 1:1-5 KJV
And here that He also was God:
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
John 1:14 KJV
How it is possible that Jesus was both God and man, I do not understand. The Bible teaches it, so it is true, even though I cannot understand how.
I find when a person has everything, looks,fame,and fortune how difficult it must be to give it up and pick up his cross and follow God..
This shows me the power of God.
I have a lot of respect for those who sacrifice to serve.
Gob bless you both.
Psalm 91
I must admit I used to be guilty of committing the same mistake...as using the secondary effects of "peace, love, becoming a more moral person" as a reason to believe in Jesus when talking to my non-believing friends. I'll remember your message and approach when I'll be talking to them next. Thank you Ray and Living Water! You guys are truly inspirational.
As a grown man it put me in tears. Today was my first time going out with my fellow brother in church sharing the news of Jesus Christ 🙏. This improved the way I'm now gonna go out it. Thank you Jesus Christ for giving your life after being wiped for the whole world's sins and making so that we can have a relationship with the Heavenly Father.

God bless these men. The blood of Christ cleanses us from sin.
This video shows what's wrong with Joel Osteen and prosperity preachers in general. The opposite problem is when you scare people about their sins and don't give good news. Many TH-cam atheists grew up in this environment and they falsely assume this as a universal paradigm for all self-identified "Christians."

@@pradeepebey6246 No, Joel Osteen is a blasphemous heretic who preys on those who have no clue about Jesus, and the whole idea behind his teaching is about money. Even one of his books 'Your Best Life Now' says it all, because Jesus says that if you're trying to gain this life you'll lose it, but if you dismiss this life in favor of eternity with God, you will find your life.

Praise God for these two men explaining in detail how the Gospel works - how to use it to get men and women saved. They give many concrete examples on exactly how to witness to the lost world that works. I took a couple of hours to stop and start this video while taking extensive notes and will use this teaching to witness to others the rest of my life. It is not enough just to quickly listen to this exhaustive teaching but take notes and apply this. It must be digested gradually over an hour or two and then go back over ones notes over and over again. Cameron and Ray nailed this teaching is so many different ways and show how to lead a person to Christ that will (stick so to speak) and truly save a person into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Thank you so much Cameron and Ray for the way you broke this down with powerful examples and put the teaching into simple steps.
How's it going so far? I had the same idea to hear carefully and take notes in a way I can practice and use to spread the gospel. I'm a newly converted and the videos from Living Waters have helped me to understand a lot of things and improve my faith in the Lord Jesus.
I grew up in a Christian household, but I was never really a christian. I turn eighteen years old in five days, and only recently was genuinely saved. I pray that in my eighteenth year on earth I live for the Lord, grow in Christ, and spread his Gospel to others.

believer for 10 years may God Jesus give me more Grace and long life
I got THAT message loud and clear...and it's been FAR too long since I've confessed my sins to the Lord and repented for them. It's useless to try to avoid it, at least for me it is..those sins, when pointed out, just keep piling up as I start remembering and counting, I guess I'm not very good at keeping a running tab in my head because half the time I don't even realize that I'm doing it until later!! (how pathetic is THAT?). I appreciate this sermon more than words can express for shining a light on this for me😌 Praise God, He brought this to me at exactly the right time, and before I piled up a bunch more blasphemies and lies. I try though, thank goodness for forgiveness.
Thanks Ray and Kirk
So true. This is why we need a Savior!
The rich young man's heart was tied to his wealth, to riches, just as Abram's heart was tied to Isaac. The Lord wants our hearts to be connected to Him, not to what is around us, because everything is His as long as our life is in His hand. Glory to the living forever.
Decent video. I plead the blood of the Lamb over my body, mind, and spirit. Thank you Jesus for your precious blood. Hallelujah to the lamb of God. Amen. Amen. Jesus is the bright Morning Star and the Christ. Praise Jesus Christ. Yeshua reigns!
Human sacrifice came as a counterfeit to the truth. God instituted sacrifice of lambs pointing to the sacrifice that Jesus would in the future make.
Lone Wolf your statement is so wrong, don't know where to start. Our law system, our morals all come from the Bible. That is the oldest known record. There is why so many courts, even here in America had a 10 commandments plaque. Even your 7 day week has no other known source than the Genesis count of Creation. You can explain month, day, year through astronomy, but not the week. Same thing goes for marriage. All things have oldest record in common with the Bible. I feel that you have something personal going on, emotional, not rational against It. I ask your forgiveness if any of my brothers ever hurt you. I know that most of the time we sinners, even loving God, represent Him really really bad, for being sinners. Or if you are hurt with God because someone close to you died or suffered, that's not God being unjust, it is just what happens in this world of sin. God has promise to end sin and suffering, but is very hard to separate sin from sinners, so what is perceived as God not found nothing, it is actually mercy, patience, that everyone has a chance to hear and accept His redemption.
Thank you Mr. Lone Wolf for being so polite while actually disagreeing. However I actually agree with you in some of your comments. I do think that sadly that Christians have and still try to, in fact, to suppress others. While most are/were only called Christians because they attend some denomination or marked a X on some form, there are also some that are true Christians with the right intentions, but imperfect men that they are have done more harm than good. They fail to allow free will and respect others liberties in the way that the God they follow does. Most are only followers of churches, but do not actually have any relationship with God. On the day of judgement, They will say they did many things in God's behalf and God will say I never knew you (described in Matthew 7:23). Most people miss the point, both Christian and non Christian, the God of the Bible is all about relationships, not do and do nots. Genesis describes that Adam and Eve sinned, felt guilt for the first time and ran to hide from God, while God was coming after them to restore the broken relationship. And it is men that has been running from God ever since while He is trying to restore the loving relationship. He sent His only Son even, and His own so called "followers" delivered His Son to die. Even then He still chasing us with love and men just keep rejecting Him and trying to hide as far as possible from God. Most live or experienced a Christian life like a bad marriage. When a marriage has true love is heaven on Earth, and there is nothing in the whole world that is better or more valuable. However when love is not present, it feels like a prison, all you see are limitations, lack of freedom. There are few things in life worst then a bad marriage, but also there is nothing as wonderful as a good one. The secret is in the relationship, in the love, not in the lifestyle, not in the things you have to do for your husband or wife. Unfortunately even most Christians have failed to see and understand this. I know you are not in a good place with God right now and is running from Him, but I pray that in my behalf he bless your life, protect you and that you may some day feel His infinite love for you. Take care my friend.

Lone Wolf I don't mean to demean you in any way but I think you do not understand that it is not a Religion but a true Faith and Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ that we speak of. I am not affiliated with any religion because they seem to twist the word of God. I am a personal follower of Almighty God and his son Jesus Christ or Yashuah. In a way your statement is true about religion, but not about a true follower of the Gospel. May God bless you and yours.
Wow wow wow. Lord forgive me for the times I’ve shared the gospel wrong. Help me to put the truth into practice from now on.
Wow! So eye opening! So beautiful and so well put together and explained. Thank you!
Amen, love your ministry and working on reaching others for Christ as well. Keep up the great work gentlemen!
God bless you both
2024 and still fisher's of men
Bless all that come to the Lord Jesus Christ
God bless you both Ray and Kirk!!! Loved the 3 left behind movies so well done and seeing you out there saving souls is amazing! Thank you guys for being a light in this dark world!
I still say this is one of the best evangelism tools ever and these men are blessed by Jesus who is the best evangelist ever live
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, preaching was hellfire and brimstone, grinding our sinful behavior deep in to the mind. As a young child growing into a teenager, I was traumatized by what I heard. It drove me away from God, He was angry and unforgiving, not a God to whom I could go to with my problems and seek comfort. I struggled most of my adult life with a true relationship with Him as a result of this method of "conversion". I know the Truth now, and I appreciate that your methods are more "Christ-like". He never raised his voice or made anyone feel like they were worthless when He taught. Well, except when he overturned the moneychangers tables. And that was righteous indignation which they totally deserved for defiling the temple.
Mary if indeed you still see a difference between yourself and the moneychangers thinking that somehow you yourself are fundamentally better than them then I am afraid Christ has not yet shown you your sin.After all when the Bible says "and you shall loathe yourselves..." it doesn't refer to the touchy-feely-good news feeling you described. When Christ meets a person they KNOW immediately they are worthless. You were traumatized by what you heard simply because you did not believe the preacher that you DESERVED all that fire and brimstone and righteous indignation. (and if even now you do not understand that fact--then I am afraid there has been no converting work done in your soul)
Jesus was not a soft man - he used a whip at the right place and the word at the right place - let me tell you this when my mother died ( a gift from god ) I never questioned him but the earth ( or the profane) - he helps me since 10 years when I really need it - I am convinced I would not be alive without him - the creator has not only the masterplan he has a grace beyond our understanding - he sees and treats your heart like a good mother does - god bless you.
@@kb27787 Wow, i definetly understand Mary! Sinners arent worthless in Gods eyes, they deserve punishment, hell. But what did God do for those Sinners? He became a human being and died for all our sins! Why? Cause we arent precious to him? Because were worthless to him? NO, ofcourse NOT! We are extremly precious to him, he doesnt want anybody to end up in hell! (2. Peter 3, 7-9) Preaching youre worthless is as much a false Gospel as Preaching youre good.
So, what can we conclude? Were sinners, we deserve death! But JESUS paid the price, he took our wages onto himself. Thus if you understand youre a sinner and cant save yourself and when you understand that you need Jesus and trust in him; AND repent of your sins; Youre saved for all eternity.
Thanks Ray, Kirk, for a really great show i always wondered why some people just don't wanna except the Gospel now I know why thanks for opening my eyes to see!!!
This is very useful in evangelism. Thank you. 😊 God bless!
I find your program very helpful thank you so very much may the lord continue to bless you
This is unbelievably well explained. Thank you Living Waters, thank you Ray Comfort.
Thank you for your TRUE AGAPE LOVE both of you✝️💟✝️…….
We can handle the truth Amen
This really is works, I have used this way of sharing and it was amazing how God revealed their need for Him.
I was used by God to led a woman to salvation last night using the tools thank you God will be pleased I know it!
Thankful for Ray and Kirk, this has helped me so much, and I feel more confident to share the gospel
I watched this a long time ago, now im watching it again
nothing wrong with re learning
Those who do NOT attend a "church" May actually NOT be "backsliders" They went and saw that the "churches" do NOT actually teach what the scriptures say. That is me, I went and through study I saw that what the churches say is NOT what scriptures say, and I worship, praise, pray, and continue to study, and put into my life what the scriptures actually do say. "Churches" are a 501c3 business that takes money from the needy and just keep most of it for themselves. If I see a family in need, I give and do what I can to HELP THEM IN THEIR NEED.
Becky Shock No church run by humans is perfect. Find one that places Christ and God's word as the foundation and you will be encouraged, convicted and strengthened.
Amen Becky!!!
There are Christ based churches out there. It's important to have a deep family fellowship with other believers. Working together to do the Lord's will and helping others. God bless you.
@Pusalieth thank you for deep insight!
God bless you and your family!
Search for the body of Christ, and what that stand for.
I'm also in a searching state, and what I keep hearing is about the body of Christ, the church, we need the church like the old testament needed the priests, ...
The priest didnt have a job, a source of income, so the people were told to help out, pitch in, provide, same as our church now.
Pick your church, your tithe means you like what they say, but more importantly, your tithe is to God, not the church.
God owns the money, owns the world, but God wants you to be a faithful servant, and faithful steward of His possessions.
Hope this makes sense, it's not the church, it's the people in the church, and if the church has alot of bad people, it's a bad church, and you might be one of them without knowing, I certainly am, and trying to see this out , figure myself out, repent and turn.
I aunt perfect, but I do see the value of church and religion, and the good and bad people inside the church.
Remember, Lucifer goes to church, he acually wants to be worshipped, so he loves, if someone like him can love, he loves church...
Think about it.
The rewards in heaven will be waiting for these two when they get there
Thank you. Your teachings make sense and you've helped me to see.
I love listen to yall.yall speak the truth.i once got back sledding. I'm back with God now.i Love my Lord Jesus Christ.
This is the most concise presentation of the Gospel message and it's application I've ever seen.
Great stuff Ray and Kirk
This teaching changed me 🙏🙏🙏
Oh how true thank you thank you Jesus my heart is dancing smiling with so much joy what a blessing
Love this. Thank you for putting it on TH-cam. You guys are a light in the darkness.
Thank you for all the videos you have produced and watching them has helped me be much more effective at witnessing. It makes 100% sense to use the law on the unconverted person before telling them any good news.
@ivan miller- how have they helped u in your evangelism. I have been asking the Lord to make me bolder to use this technique in serving Him. This is the harder way but i know its the right way!!!
@@grizzlemc1662 well it has helped me realize that a person MUST realize that he has seriously offended the Lord and in danger of hell, otherwise the Gospel means little or nothing to him.
@@ivanmiller383 well im praying to God Almighty and asking Him for strength and boldness of faith to evangelize like this. Sometimes i try to be everybodys buddy and sometimes i find myself trying to make Jesus cool to everybody or shydown his name. Im asking the Lord God Almighty to rip that shame out of my heart. I want to confess my sins of acting ashamed of him and not going all out for Him and ask Jesus to burn me up with the fire of the Holy Ghost so that I can share the gospel the right way not just the quick way just to do it and get outta there!
Too all of you who are interested: I have been teaching this method now for several months. My students are eating it up, and it's energized the way they share the Gospel. I'm now in the process of building a nationwide (eventually worldwide) evangelism network to train, encourage, and dispatch evangelists to anywhere there is a need. We do this, because we not only have a love and passion for the lost, but also to be obedient to the "11th commandment" to share the Gospel to all people, and make disciples. PLEASE hit me up if you have an interest. Shalom to you all...
Amen, God's righteousness thru faith in Jesus (God the Son).
I ya one thing, Kirk Cameron really impresses me. I grew up years ago when he was on the cover of every teen magazine in existence. That was the go to perfect guy for every teenage girl you ever met. Alyssa Milano was the one every one of us guys obsessed over. The fact that he has grown from a celebrity teen heartthrob to living for Christ and doing so many good things to bring Glory to his name just really impresses me to no end. Not committing a sin because you really didn't have the chance to be in that situation is still not committing it, but just imagine the world he had to grow up in. The perversions, ultra excess, and indulgence in whatever whenever they could possibly want. Just the pure unfiltered EVIL that we see come out of Hollywood. For this man to stand up for God with his head on straight really is a testament to what kind of man he really is. I can't even fathom the kind of attacks satan would throw at a celebrity who is living right with God. it would be our temptations X 10 !! just my 2 cents sorry to ramble just really wanted to say that. I really like these videos as well. Clear and to the point. I prefer to learn taught as the history lesson it really is. the history of mankind and everything in the world past, present, and future. Prayed for the strength to fight off my evil temptations and wisdom to understand more. All I really have ever asked for and God has been working on me really strong lately with a lot of the videos I've found to learn. it's like almost overnight my mind was blocked to the thoughts I had that brought me down and I have understood a few things that really put puzzle pieces together for me. Wonderful when it's so obvious that even people around you notice an odd change in you.
Just a thought to add to what you said about Kirk. To me, the authenticity of his changed life is proof of the Power of God. Everything that he "had" in Hollywood became filthy rags in Kirk's eyes, when compared to Jesus Christ and the LIFE that HE gives. And all of the "Draw" of fame and fortune, paled in comparison.
Praise God for what he did in Kirk’s life and for what he’s doing in yours! I feel the same way about my negative intrusive thoughts being blocked & I’m coming to new understandings through Christ every day. God is answering questions I’ve had for awhile now through his word and fellow believers, like the men in these videos. What a wonderful, perfect God we serve!
Kirk becoming a Chridtian is one of many examples that God cannot be stopped from doing what He wants. William Baldwin is another example.
Mmm, and what happened to Alyssa Milano?
I enjoy hearing Kirk talks about Christianity. He is charismatic.
Excellent! It's all about a correct handling of law and gospel. The law shows need, utterly condemns and the gospel gives life and comfort to the wounded heart. Let us preach as we should!
Man I truely Love you guys. You are a blessing
Love you to stay humbled
i was born believing in God and Jesus Christ! i was blind however thinking different things and now thanks to this channel my eyes have been opened and now still working to be better! im progressing with reading my bible for the first time!
Powerful, and a more timely word than ever. Thank you for being a modern day John the Baptist or Jeremiah.
I am Blessed by this Video, Thanks!
a light bulb went off for me on this message finally, thank you.
Praise God! :)
This is a Godly channel. I am so glad to find it.
Bless your ministry, Ray. You brought me to true repentance and thus to everlasting life. I still look at my sins, and am apalled at them. I am so unworthy. Praise Jesus for his mercy and his sacrifice!
6:15-6;33this is eternally important!!!!!!
It’s crazy how we read these passages that Kirk gave us, and never looked at it as he explained it which is explained in perfection. Thank you Lord for using your servants in such a great way!
Jesus says: i will set you free don't give up. you know how much i love you again i will set you free.
Now i know how to evangilise to my family, God bless you 🙏
O and l pray to God every day for his help and guidance and thank him for the Ten commandments
