I can't wait for God to bring me a community of Christian friends.(4)
Same here! I've been waiting and praying!
@@danielleashkettle5932 it will happen! God does not break promises.
Ditto!
Elegant Anne, I'm praying for the same thing lol!
I pray the same for many call themselves Christians but by their actions they deny him and/or allow the devil to lead them astray and depart from the faith and pure devotion they previously had. Being isolated and away from others is sometimes a blessing from God as we know with John in exile and by God and wrote the book of Revelation.
This is amazing, but a little scary. Every time I have a challenge in my spiritual life, you make a video on the exact subject I’m struggling with. Truly amazing how God works.
That's so cool to hear, I'm so glad the Lord is using this content to bless you :)
Same and also on how we grow into our spiritual life with/through Jesus I have Issues on helping people mainly homeless I get this freeze feeling when I pull up sometimes I do give but mostly I somehow avoid doing what I know is right, forgive me God of my sins.Through you Mark and god, Jesus I've feel better about myself and James Karl it's crazy how God shows us something in a time of not expecting.
@@austoncly3363 While this has nothing to do with being a Christian, I believe you need to learn to love yourself. Focus on loving you with all your flaws and weaknesses. Focus on knowing your self worth. Self love while it may be bad if you focus on it too much, can still be helpful in helping you to find your true self. Once your self esteem and self worth have increased, and you can be your true self around others, don't focus on yourself too much, but still value yourself. If you focus on yourself too much it can lead to pride. I've been there so I can tell you. The more you learn to love God, and love your neighbour as yourself and want the best for others just like yourself, you should be good. Ensure that your main focus other than self love is humility. After you've begun to love yourself, focus on not having any opinion of yourself whatsoever. Humble yourself before the Lord!🙏🙏🙌🙌
I have given my whole life to Jesus christ
Amen!
God bless you
Amen! Awesome message! :) If you know the truth, the truth shall set you free, and whosoever the Son sets free, is free indeed! Thank you for helping us apply the word. We need to know who are, as children of God. I love the part about counting the cost, when choosing Christ over everything, over even the people we love or even ourselves, or social status. Making the determination of following Christ now matter what.
Love it! :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed this Tony!
you always post the right videos at the right time, God bless!
I'm so glad the Lord is using this content in your life :)
Amen!!!...Who I am is a child of the one true living God....He will never leave nor forsake us.....therefore, we have nothing/no one to fear!!!
Amen :)
The spiritual truth is hard. But there are not shortcut to reach out salvation...
Since I became active here in You tube and get off on facebook this year. I stumble some videos about like NDE testimonies and from there You tube just recommend me a lot of stuff about Jesus. I'm telling you I am learning a lot that i can't even comprehend. I used not to care to read the bible because i was attached into this worldly things. But now after watching some preaching i began to read my bible.
Jocelyn Gardner same here! I quit Facebook and started reading the Bible. Another great ministry is the TH-cam channel called “Unlearn the Lies”. It goes deeper than most and gets to the heart of many questions as to why. May God continue to bless & guide us all! :)
I’m imagining this rn & I’m with it because many ppl will stand on they opinion so why not stand on what you believe.I know it’s not popular but itz right .
Amen
Am blessed
From Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 🇸🇦 watching
I'm so glad this was helpful to you!
Thank u for this . This is something I struggle with. Since I became a new believer its been hard trying fit in with others at church because I feel like people will judge me so I dont really open up to people. Sometimes being afraid to show my true self causes social anxiety. All four points were spot on! I will definitely work on getting better.
Jordan thank u !
Hun, God created us in His own image and likeness. We are all unique and beautiful in our own way. There is no need to fit in with others. Be you and love you just the way you are. No one can be you. You are one of a kind. Be proud of who you are.
@@chelsieromero4874 you shouldn't be proud to be yourself and be yourself because we're all sinners needing of GOD'S grace that need to be changed. We can't be happy to be ourselves but to strive to be like CHRIST.
This is needed,especially today thank you.
My pleasure!
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger your welcome this channel has helped me a lot since finding it.
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger 🙃
Same with me
Amen. Exactly what happened to me the other day in being a Christ follower and standing up for Gods truth. I felt the blessing and Gods presence with me through this despite the devil making me feel sick and guilty. I must say that God will empower you to stand up for his Truth and God will give you the assurance and blessing that when you stand for his Truth he will be with you.
Amen!
Every time I murmured God loves me, my true self comes out a voice. Every time people talks to me fast or manipulated me, I am disconnected. Thank you for bringing this up! I appreciate that you helped me to recognize the things happening and many guidance!
Thank You Mark! I believe I've had a LIGHT BULB MOMENT FROM YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORDS‼️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️‼️ I TRULY UNDERSTAND NOW‼️
GOD WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST‼️
That's awesome to hear! i'm so glad the Lord spoke to you through this :)
Matthew 10/33 thank you God because I am who I am God does not make mistakes I am who he made me to be and I am so thankful and I am ready for everything he’s promised Amen I love the lord and he loves me
you give me power to actually go to church and confess my sins, because i've wanted to do it, i wasn't going there because something keeps me out of it (probably satan) thank you for all videos.
Something about how you articulate your words really pierce the innermost parts of my soul
Applying God’s word over here 👈🏽 I agree it would just be so much easier if I could just make “church” through my TH-cam channels. But that would just ultimately turnout to be idol worship.
I still encourage folks in the real world 🌎 to join together and encourage one another through our individual walks with Christ. We must connect offline, authentically and purposefully to not only spread the truth about Yasuuah but to live his truth as well.
Now go and make disciples of men 🙌🏽
I agree &belive.thank you Mark today's message is amazing. I chose Jesus Christ halleluyah,may FatherGod bless u ,and all that are watching
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Proverbs 29:25 says "The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe". In regards to that, I find myself afraid of what other christians may think about what I'm wanting to do with my life. It's odd I care more about what other christians, my parents and friends may think of me than what I care about what unbelievers think of me. The sermon this past Sunday touched on this topic somewhat and the pastor said that Satan and his demons will come after me with those I care about most. I want to be free of caring about what others think of me. It's not that I'm looking for their praise but I'm more afraid that I'll disappoint them somehow. I think some of it too is the co-dependency I'm working on overcoming and that I want people to like me. I feel like I'm hiding who I can be and thus not enjoying my life at all. Thoughts anyone?
John Brown ..to seek God’s approval and to know he is pleased with me when I seek his favour first over humans’ is mark of us Christians...if we truly want obey him. I believe God will surround you with fellow believers who love and accept you when you do the same. And be ready when God wants us to point others -believers or non regardless to his love for them too. As found in Christ Jesus our one true Friend. Lord. Redeemer.
@@gapstander6059 thank you for the encouragement.
@Paradise Woodall thank you for the encouragement!
I can totally relate. In fact this is what I was talking to the Lord about today.
Powerful
I'm so glad :)
Youre always in timing Mark! Just the thing that I need today! This ismy problem most of my life! Thanks!
My pleasure!
I really appreciate the messages you give and that they are firmly founded on scripture. God bless you as you continue in the ministry He has given you!
God bless!
Mark!, I appreciate Your Genuine Zeal for The Absolute Truth JESUS!
Thank you! God bless!
Amen! Well said,sometimes am around some people that make we feel lost, but to God be the glory am back on track, and I love my church family, they encourage me a lot, Thanks God bless you.
That's so awesome, a healthy church is no small blessing!
Thank you. Very timely. God bless!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
You should make a video about anxiety. My friend won’t hang out with me one on one because she suffers from it. It’s really keeping us apart.
TBrusk Versace I suffered from severe anxiety and debilitating panic attacks for almost 30 years and had tried most every method and drug treatment known.
Just last year I became a born again Christian, and through Gods love and guidance, I have learned to put all my faith in him and completely trust him. Now i see that my anxiety was just one God’s trials in my life, and I am ever so thankful for them, as they helped bring closeness to him and finally being able to be at peace with anxiety.
I pray that your friend can also find the peace that I have found in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ❤️🙏🏻
Yes, that is an important topic
Living it. Thank you. Divine appointment.
Amen! God is good!
Ah yes, just the video I’ve been waiting for:). Perfect. God is my Rock!
Thank you for producing content beyond the spouse search topic. Ive enjoyed all you make but now ive found my (near) future marriage partner and our courtship has progressed through every stage but the final one, so im ready for the next level and new content is coming at the perfect time. Please keep it up.
That's awesome to hear! In the future one day I am considering making another AGW channel specifically for marriage
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger please and thank you that would be so great!!!
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger ive been thinking about your reply all morning and i just wanted to first of all say thank you but secondly i felt like i should tell you that you dont need to split off to make a seperate channel just to include new topics or adress newlweds. I am autistic and i have some learning difficulties. I recognize that doing too much is too much. i think two channels is too much. I appreciate the style and pace here and feel like it is only natural to progress towards content adressing marriage and spiritual life in the home. I dont subscribe to much on utube these days but id like to not outgrow your channel as i look forward to and appreciate it very much.
Thanks for the feedback :)
ON POINT 🎯
I'm so glad :)
Thank you for this Amazing teaching God bless☺❤
Of course :)
Ty! That was very helpful and encouraging!
Amen! I'm so glad!
God bless you.
To you as well!
I just love your videos. They've really helped me see God's word in a new light. I've become a stronger Christian by applying this wisdom to my life.
I'm so glad to hear this!
Thanks Mark! This video is exactly what I needed to hear
My pleasure brother, I'm so glad it was timely for you :)
What the hey?! Mark your videos are truly led by the Holy Spirit.
lol! I'm so glad they have been helpful to you!
You have some good solid teaching, that's really speaking to me. I've struggled with this issue for years and I watched your video last night, and today I can tell god has changed something. The scriptures you used were spot on. Godbless from Aussie land
That's so incredible to hear! I'm so glad the Lord spoke to you through the Bible! Keep diving into his word every day :)
Powerful brother!!!🙏🏾💙
God bless! I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Thank you for sharing the knowledge that GOD gives you.. Love your videos.. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
God bless you 😇
Thank you and God bless you too!
Thank you for this Mark and thanks also for your genuineness! I was truly blessed by this!! 😎
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I have been more concerned for those attending Church 3 times a week, and socially meeting, because after a few years of this, you come to depend on Man. And you become known or renown, and so gain a reputation. I think many will disagree. But to me, in the above scenario, there is not enough time to ask God, your questions, or to spend time with Him alone.
But I know that God’s family is a big one and HE has purposed it. He does not intend that we all live the same way.
It has only been a concern of mine, as there is a diminished need to Seek Him in your daily life, and then draw really close to Him. Not when you are spoon fed in Church, 3 times a week.
I think “ a little “ Ship Wreck now and then is a good thing…….
This channel is so true and real. 💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
AMEN! AMAZING MESSAGE! This is definitely the best video yet. So many people needed to hear this including me so thank you Mark, keep being the light of the world! God bless you!!!!!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This honestly came to my recommendations at the right moment of my life :) Thank you Jesus! You guide me to what I'm about to overcome💛💛💛💛💛
Great message! God bless you.
And may the Lord bless you too!
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Amen!.
Wow talk about God's timing. Up late thinking about this, and this video pops up.
I like your points HOWEVER, it is VERY DIFFICULT to be able to find other TRUE CHRISTIANS. I am in a community of people who want me to be like them instead of pointing me to Christ. So, until I finish school where I am, I have to do it alone. Until I started to see and understand the falseness of the religion, I used to hang around in the community BUT found I was not growing. I even followed advice from people I thought were more mature Christians than I just for those decisions to backfire on me for the worst. So, now, I generally don’t trust other Christians. Many of the ones in the community where I am are either way too nosy in other people’s business (even in mine, which is one 🚩 for me), gossip about other people to me, or can’t even run their own lives. These red flags 🚩 🚩 are too strong for me to truly trust other Christians. I am now in a season of seeking God on my own and trusting ONLY HIM to help me to discern who to listen to and who not to. Until now, He has not put me across anyone who is wise enough to listen to. Even A. W. Tozer said that a saint must walk alone. We are living in such perilous times, where the majority of people who call themselves Christians are tares, not wheat. We must be careful and guard our hearts. The tares are obviously more deceptive and dangerous (since they masquerade as Christians) than someone who is obviously and blatantly worldly.
I would keep praying the Lord brings you a good community and that you would become a good community to others. It is needed :)
I have just asked this question before puting on my phone thank you and God bless
God is good!
Thank you swmuch for the guidance
It helped me a lot

Good video mark Ballenger

God bless, and you welcome mark
Thank you for this video. What's crazy is I was ministering to someone about this a couple of days ago. It's awesome and unique how you talk about walking in who we are in Christ.
I think God is trying to tell me something with this video.
This question has been plaguing me lately, and I've been wondering how to properly share my heart with people after keeping it hidden for so long.
I've been searching to find if it's considered sinful to do that, have "secrets" and keep parts of my heart just between myself and God.
Not secrets that are meant to deceive and harm, but just keeping those things to yourself because you're too afraid and too ashamed to share them.
I plan to share the hidden parts of my heart. It's just been so long and I honestly don't know how.
Katie Drake Stay on that shelf, keep seeking God, keep staying in His Word, and stay faithful. When the time is right, He is take you off that shelf and empower you. Wait on Him. Remember, the first 30 or so years of Jesus (before His baptism), He was just doing life (and going to the temple). Joseph had his dream as a teenager, but it manifested in his 30s. David was quiet with God all those few years before he faced and defeated Goliath, then to live some years on the run before his assignment as king. When the time was right, these men knew EXACTLY what to do with the leading of the Holy Spirit......so it will be for us. Be encouraged sis (sorry if this was too long😊).
I am actually an extrovert, but was horrifically bullied and harrassed on social media. This back lash of which or should I say ( Witch), because we, those whom are Saints know what gossiping really is.
I was targeted in many ways that endangered me emotionally and
My very life.
How about my mental health? I feel like I’m not showing how I feel on the inside and I pretend with a fake smile.
Well ur mental health is a different topic from this but this video helped me dr gene Kim is an excellent teacher th-cam.com/video/k0T7oDrZoDU/w-d-xo.html
I feel the same way at times.
May the Lord bless you in Jesus Christ name
Mental health is definitely something we must pay attention to, but Christ will guide us in how we should handle our mental health in practical ways and medical ways as we rely on Christ relationally and spiritually
I understand about the mental health issue. I have had problems with my mental health for 33 to 34 years. I am in my late 30's now, and I went to mass. I took a leap of faith. I surrendered completely to His will, and I reaffirmed that I place Him first. My mental health illness worsened from personal problems that I have left in His hands. A prayer warrior told me that my mental health illness continued since I was afraid of my feelings. I repressed my feelings since I did not want for people to know that they had gotten the best of me from their years of bullying. Now, I focus on the Lord, and I live for the Lord. No matter what people think, the Lord is perfect love, and He has the ability to cast out all of your fears. Pray with faith, and know that you have received what you need. Anointing of the Sick can help with the mental healing process like it has helped me. God makes the impossible, possible. May the Lord bless you today and always.
Beautiful massage Mark, God bless you 💜🙏
Thank you and God bless you too!
The thing with that is that some Christians people don’t allow you to be as scriptures say because, they want you to be like they are or else. Soo, being a loner” works for some Christians.
Reminded me of John Piper’s videos the way you did the notes with the scriptures. Good stuff, Mark
Micah Lecourias I hate how he’s a Calvinist tho
Thanks! I love John Piper and have learned a ton from him :)
Jonathan applying God’s word is not Calvinism lol
I don't have fear. I simply don't have to be around people who want to be controlling and manipulative. Simple.
I can understand that point. I hope you can find a good non-controlling community one day
God bless u brother thank u for this lovely msg
My pleasure!
Thanks for the word, inspiring information 🙏🏻🙏🏻
My pleasure!
Wow! Thank you for this explanation! Mega churches now a days are all about popularity sadly 😒
Thank u I needed this
God bless!
Thanks for posting, I needed to hear this. Amen
My pleasure! I'm so glad this was helpful to you :)
Bless you and your family Mark. I love following your videos, as it helps me to understand Scripture better, and helps me to apply the Word to my life. You are blessed with the gift of explaining things very well. Please keep them coming. ❤
Be ye ready in heart to be severely disapointed, continuously. I often get depressed because beeing myself is fraundupon I dont have much friends and those I do have are embarrassed of me, or at least that's what I perceive.
Use your pain to seek the Lord more passionately
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Amen. 🙏🏾
@@efandmk3382 Thank you.🙏🏾
Somehow u always come through you are a gods blessing and thanks so much for being on this journey that we are going as Christians
All glory to God! Glad this was helpful :)
If anyone is in need of some Christian friends or just wants to talk I’m down hehe God bless
Me
Teach it Mark!!
Thank you and God bless!!
Good word, thank you, God bless you!
You are so welcome!
thank you I saw this when I need I most
Bless you. I've now watched quite allot of your videos. I have 346+subscriptions but now you and time of grace are the only or main recommendations appearing more and more. Nowadays even if I'm on whatsapp a long time thru out the day then when night hits I'd watch TH-camrs like Tyrone Magnus and others but now I'm in a situation were I could say I'd be off my device for a whole day and at 10pm I'll watch your video and then more and then sleep.
All now that must be done is reading the bible because I think we still get so caught up in these bless filled videos that we forget that what's understanding without knowledge.
Thank you again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Have a good day, I'm in Sa(South Africa) so I'd imagine its morning/afternoon but really thought please have a great day✨
This message was more convicting than I had wanted it to be. Thank you, Mark! ... Question: I have some **strongly** anti-Christian colleagues who wouldn't bat an eye in throwing someone under the bus (e.g. ruin someone's career / get them fired through a social media post) who disagrees with their (anti-Christian) ideologies and discourses. I'm also "friends" with them on social media. So here' s my question: Is it okay for me to make **some** of my posts on social media for Christians only (i.e. only my Christian friends or non-anti-Christian friends can see such posts)? All of my "friends" on social media know I'm a Christian, and they can see SOME evidence of that on my social media profile - but I don't think it would be wise to "cast my pearls before swine." I think it may only increase their already-extreme hatred of Christians and also (needlessly?) endanger my employment opportunities. (Some of them are actual **witches** and VERY toxic in what they post and do against those that don't "obey" their worldview.) Am I being "wise as a serpent but innocent as a dove" or "fearing people more than God"? ... Even Jesus didn't share the deeper/clearer revelation with the crowds, but only with His disciples.. because he knew he had to speak in "parables" - because the Pharisees, for example, wouldn't do anything good with more information or revelation - since they were NOT open to what He had already offered them... Anyway, sharing any advice or similar experiences would be welcomed! Thank you!
Mel: Try to get yourself OUT OF THAT SITUATION!!!! Regardless of how good your job may be that MUST be a highly toxic, poisonous atmosphere. GO where you feel valued, safe, and have a similar ideology. Bumping up again these people occasionally is inevitable, but working closely with them???!!!! Do this for yourself.
@@overcomer4226 , thanks for your reply. I think I should've been more clear, though. I don't work in the same office or space with them, but we are in the same industry - a very interconnected one. So, I am not around them (physically), but I may see them at a work event (e.g. conference) or they may be on a hiring committee affecting (already tenuous) job prospects. In other words, I can have healthy boundaries with them, on a day to day basis - but I just wonder if I am being fearful - or wise - by limiting some of what they can see about what I post (about Christ / my faith) online. Again, they know I'm a Christian, and I know they "hate" that about me (because I have read their VERY hateful posts about Christians). Thanks, again, for sharing your thoughts!
@@Mel-so4ou it's your social media page and you can post whatever you want. If they have a problem with it, then that's their problem and not yours in my opinion. They're posting what they want right? I have people on my 'Friends' list that I know don't agree with my worldview but I don't let that stop me. Besides, it's not like I'm shoving anything in their face anyway. If they don't like what I post, they can just scroll on by for that matter. And you never know how the Holy Spirit could be working through something that you post or a comment you might make. I don't know if this helps but hopefully it does. Everything I've mentioned here is what I do in regards to my social media presence.
@Mel Pray for these Non Christian colleagues of yours and ask God to change them. Pray for their conversion and have Faith. Do not doubt. Continue posting your Christian posts online and don't be afraid for them to see them or insult you. Let God take control. I post online to the public on facebook about my faith to Catholics and Non-Catholics. I love to share the word of God to others. I love my country and want the best for them. This is my driving force. I know that I am doing God's will and nothing will stop me. Remember, God will judge you for all what you did and did not do. He loves when we spread the word to others and draw them to Him. Don't be ashamed in sharing His word. He is watching you.🤗😘😊😉🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌👀👀👀💖💖💖
I FEEL IT BROTHER, I MEAN I AM BARELY MINDFUL OF WHAT NON BELIEVERS THINK OF ME.. . YET I AM CAREFUL OF WHAT THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST WILL OPENLY ENCOURAGE/ REBUKE OF GROWTH NEEDED IN MY LIFE & GREAT CHARACTER

Justo lo que necesitaba
I've never found a church that didn't have a wolf leading its flock to hell by omitting repentance.
Sorry to hear that
No one can handle “The REAL me”. That’s why I’m 33, still single, no children and living with my family…
That’s sounds like a negative self-fulfilling prophecy
God bless you my brother
Good points well taken. Ty.
My pleasure :)
Thanks for the video Mark.🤗👍

God is good!
Thank you
My pleasure!
Thanks this was very helpful
My pleasure!
Please Make A video about On How To Stop sinning Over And Over Again, I Would Really Appreciate That!❤
What do I say.. I'm a friend of small steps, and today is expecting big leaps from me. Thanks though dude, I saved the rest of the video for later :)
It is very difficult to know who I AM as an individual. Like many, I have arrived on earth like everyone I had family and all. In time, I had to set apart from family and follow my own path on my own terms. I don't follow anyone and don't expect anyone to follow not at the moment of time. Where I AM and who I AM no one can be and no one can go. But if you truly want to know who I AM. the best way to know the paths I went through is to know my past. Which is where it is difficult for you to know. Here is a piece of literature from a song it defines who I AM in truth. And the paths I have gone through.
My story ends
Not far from where it started
My weary limbs have grown old
I've seen the world
Through the eyes of a nomad
Home is where the heart is
I've been told
So I go
Avenged Sevenfold - Coming Home
listen to the song it will tell you who I AM.
I've got friends from my past that are God-haters or just don't believe in God. I no longer want to be connected with those people, and I'm not even sure it's worth connecting with them at all anymore. I'd like to just shed my complete past and start over with my new church friends. Do I disconnect with them or talk with them about it? Or just move on?
💕
God bless!
