I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......yes indeed i enjoy listening to this dear man of God Pastor Chip Ingraham and I much pray God's peace and comfort on him and his family each and everyday and that God uses him and his ministry mightily to much glorify and lift high the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!! to God Be All The Glory!!!!! Great Things He Hath Done!!!!!! and all hail king Jesus!!!!! the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!! however folks these days are getting darker and Christ is coming soon and if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
just prayed for you refuge and may God’s powerful and unimaginable peace comfort happiness and joy be multiplied to and poured out on you and your family each and everyday in the name of the father son and holy spirit lord that’s my prayer and that’s my hope amen!!!!!
I teach in a Bible College in India. In the subject of Christianity and Contemporary Cultures, every year, we read your book, "Culture Shock" as part of our reading requirement. Thank you!
We just watched this video in my Bible study. I am a relatively new Christian and hadn’t heard of Chip Ingram before. This was a really good video and our leader mentioned the app, which I’ve now put on my phone and really look forward to watching, listening, and reading more of his content.
Congratulations on your new relationship with the Lord! Glory to God. We pray that these messages help you along your journey to spiritual maturity. Let us know if there is any way we can serve you. You can contact info@lote.org. Have a great day!
I was falsely arrested in 2017 in Wyoming for crimes that I did not commit. I was a believer and I knew my scripture, but it was the worst experience of my life; facing 10 yrs in prison if found guilty. "I will never leave you nor forsake you" but I never felt God's presence, even once. That experience caused my faith to buckle. Had I done something to offend God? Had I missed some codicil? I came to question everything that I believed re: God, Christ and scripture. I realize that bad things happen to Christians, but what stayed with me was that feeling that I was alone; abandoned. I haven't opened my Bible since then as it tends to trigger the memory of jail, where I read my Bible frequently. I can't pray, as I remember that my prayers in jail were never answered, so I have come to a point where it's like, "What's the point of prayer? Bad things will happen regardless." I guess now I see God from a Deist point of view. I believe there is a Creator but perhaps He doesn't have much interest in me in a personal way. I wonder why God would allow such an experience to happen knowing it would destroy my faith. I don't mean to sound sacrilegious, I'm just being honest.
Your story hurts my heart. I am so sorry that you had to endure this. I'm not going to combat anything, but I want you to know that God has a deep and personal interest in you & not only that, but He WANTS you. You are so loved by our creator and He has never and will never give up on you. I am so sorry for the experience you've gone through. God sees and hears you.
@@brookevandevelde8393 Brooke you're a sweetheart and a kind woman. Thank you for your compassion. So many millions have gone through far worse than what I endured; I'm acutely aware of that. I'm trying to come back to Him. Once you've encountered Christ it's difficult, as I'm sure you know, to abandon or put Him completely out of your life. Or your mind. I admire ppl who have unshakeable Job-like faith. How is your walk with Christ? Tell me about that if you'd like to. Again, blessings upon you for being an encourager to others.
@@jimgarrison7340 I am so happy to hear you're coming back! God is always waiting for us. I struggled in 2020 with my faith, because I got hurt by the church I was going to. I had spoke with them about it for over a year & they said a bunch of nice things, but really didn't follow through at all. I struggled with depression, anxiety and reading my Bible, though I did still pray relentlessly. I was so emotionally/mentally exhausted, that I couldn't read much of the Word, though I wanted to. I took a small break from the big C church and throughout that time was able to heal. What re-energized my faith was getting hurt by someone I love, seeing their trauma and struggle & praying all day every day for them, which I'm still doing. I have never felt stronger in my faith & God has taught me a lot during this season. You can also pray for this person who is dear to my heart. Just pray however you feel lead. God is good, even when we're hurting.
Wow, I can see how that could make your faith struggle. All I can think of is Daniel in the Bible going to jail for doing what was right and spent years there. He later said to his brothers (who sold him into slavery and then eventually was put in prison,) “you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good”. God used his circumstances to later help many. Continue in the faith. God does love and longs for a relationship with you where he can work in and through you.
Hi there! Chip has 2 great resources that may help to answer that question. Both are free so don't worry about cost. The first is a series called The Power of Prayer. the second is a free online course called How to Experience God in Prayer. You can find them both here: livingontheedge.org/?s=prayer. Let us know if there is anything more we can do to serve you. Have a blessed new year!
I always felt that with 7 billion souls on earth, my prayers were unnecessary due to the huge demand upon God for help from His hordes. Maybe we're being kind and considerate to God by not burdening Him with another pesky request. Give God a Break day should become a new holiday. With the slogan "He's been listening to your crap for 6000 years! Give Him a break for crying out loud."

Its about having a personal relationship .in a relationship you talk to the other person. In works the same way with GOD
