'I was a "male" enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. My message couldn't be received because I didn't represent the sender, yet I was almost delivered.' SO DOPE!!
You could start slowly on your side of the relationship with him by having morning Devotions with God. (study) a verse(Joshua 1:8)NLT, play a song of worship and praise him
Well said."Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"..Mathew 7:21 ...
Wow! I want to be fully live a real Christian life. I don't want to be denied access into heaven for having had entertained the world and fleshly pleasures. They mean nothing cz they're the devil in disguise. May God help us and remind us daily to live right as Christians. May God bless P4CM to continue this beautiful job.
Yes!!!!!! Glory to God...This brother right here is the truth!!!! Conviction at its best right here that will stir up sorrow in your heart and push you to repentance and change your ways and surrender ALL not All most to the Lord!!
oh my...I absolutely love this. I too have done spoken word but am now sleeping on it. I got bogged down by school and in classes where I felt I could not measure up to other poets. I could not interpret the writing. I realized I am more of a spoken word type poet. I pray I can write and speak on a subject that will influence people spiritually, like this young man did. He is straight preaching the truth! I just love this..Very inspirational...spiritually and as a poet...He was hitting it at every angle and allowing God to use him!
I hope that the young people in the audience or watching this video right now didn't clap or get hype just because this spoken word was so well put together...but I pray to God that they LISTENED and was CONVICTED by those profound words...because i know for a fact I was
Heard this maybe 8/9 years ago, came back to it because Jackie Hill Perry mentioned it on their podcast. Literally still as good as when I first heard it.
God be the Glory he speaks threw you Ezekiel. I've watched this I don't know how many times. Please make more heavy hitting poems they are so inspirational to us.! God bless everyone watching let this flip over your boat so you have to walk 😀
It's about feeling a true joy, and being able to abandon (if needed) all earthly ties. It's about faith, and being certain of what you have no proof of. You might think it's a shot in the dark, but it was the best decision I ever made. Don't listen to people who tell you God is this judgy, hateful being, He isn't. He loves you so much, and sees you so beautifully, with so much potential. He wants to show you what you can do, and bless you. But He can't if you don't let him.
Ezekiel Azonwu's poems are really great. Salvation is not a one time thing. Salvation is a life time of repentance, faith, and good deeds. Faith without works is dead and work without faith is dead. He is an orthodox christian even though he don't know it now.
A lesson learned: When it comes to salvation, almost doesn't count. You either got it or you don't. You either believe 100% or you don't believe at all. There's no in-between. It's all or nothing.
I like the poem he confronts a corrupt, faithless and lukewarm church , I like how he subtly uses Paul's admonition to Timothy (2nd Tim 3 :16) to rebuke immorality and carnality (Rom 1 and 2) in the body of Christ today. I would like to share a thought on a line in his poem; " can't stand the conviction in Romans so they sit down to be comforted in Psalms" I always wondered what made David a man after God's own heart. He seemed to have committed a far worse crime (in human eyes) than Saul did (Davis committed adultery and meticulously plotted murder to cover it up -2nd Sam 11 while Saul seemed more interested in pleasing people than in obedience - 1st Sam 13 and 15). The psalms (Some written by David others by other people ) somehow reflect David's focus. We gain insight into entering God's presence (Ps 15 and Ps 100:4), living a Godly life and a desire to abide in God's word (Ps 119:9, 11, 105 or the whole chapter), Confessing our sin (Ps 32 and Ps 51) and repenting or turning from sin (Ps 81:10-16 and Ps 34: 13) the list is endless. This may be my subjective opinion, but the psalms in a way prepares one to respond to the conviction in Romans. None the less, I love the poem and the teams desire to witness and disciple through spoken word, may it stand the test of fire ( 1st Cor 3:13)
Remember listening to this the first time during a men meeting back in 2012 Meanwhile performed it myself a couple of times already 😇 mof JUST did it from the top of my longs in my room!! Just love the fire and the double entendres in this poem🔥💯❤️
LIFE CHANGING!!!! I don't want to meet God one day and hear Him say he never knew me! The words i long to hear are "Well done good and faithful servant!" I'm done being an ALMOST Christian!
Everybody in the world needs to see this video. I've watched it over and over and over. ITS SOOOOO GOOD!!! "Ladies would you really date a man who claims he's almost straight?" lol I love the Lord!! Im a real Christian and I posted this video to my Facebook page 2 times.
Jesus.... bananas first off! dat almost (saved) gave a def answer to if you saved.. love it.. I decree & declare that God will abundantly increase you in Him.
This Spoken Word is Manifesting in 2020 more than ever before. Christians really need to hear this again and again, shoot, I throw myself in there too. #endtimes #wakeuppeople
Man this is so good, He has motivated me to step it up in how I live my life for Christ, not almost sold out but completely. The Lord definitely knew I needed to hear this.
That was ALMOST the truth. We are saved through faith alone in Christ alone. We are most assuredly called to godliness and holiness once we are born again. We are not saved by our good works. Which this poem strongly implies. Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and His death, burial and resurrection and trusting in that for your salvation is what saves.
We don't do good works TO be saved. But we do good works BECAUSE we're saved. Faith without works is dead. The good works are still a part of the Christian walk
I absolutely agree, but look at the title of the video..." Almost Saved," you are conveying the exact opposite message of faith alone in Christ alone with the title and the poets assertion that one is "almost saved" because of works.
No I think you're missing the point of the poem. He's more referring to professed Christians who have a form of Godliness. DOING all the right things, but not having Jesus.
4TheMostHighJesus "Sought out your salvation with fear and trembling" said the one who worked with God. If we say we love Him and do not obey His words, what becomes of us?
Let me ask you all this!!! Do you all keep all the LAW ...? The ENTIRE LAW. If you break 1 you break ALL ? Does anyone live perfect ? Do you have a thoughts that go against God and his Holiness ? No I didn’t think so, can we stop making this message about how we live ? At the end of the day your saved because of what Jesus Christ did ALONE ! Not how we live ... there are ppl that sinned against God and he still declared them righteous... the “ ALMOST saved “that he really means is wether we believe that or not ! Not by our works or actions.
This poem was extremely deep the life I'm living feels like it's so idol now WOW! I thought I was living right but now that I look back I wasn't and if it wasn't for Christ I would already by in hell. Thank you Jesus me being on a teen I still am trying to live a blessed life while also living a teenage dream but now I know I gotta make a change!!!
I don't understand what is it that the Bible says that Christians don't get.. . That's the religious strong holds on your mind but Christianity is NO RELIGION!!!..... "Religion is humans trying to work their way to God through good works. Christianity is God coming TO men and women THROUGH JESUS CHRIST".....if the Bible STATES this is our only way to salvation, this is our only way to the father who are we not to submit to his word?? Who are we to question his word?? Even after Christ Sacrificed for you. Do as many charitable things as you please but it profits you nothing in regards to the kingdom. You can't ALMOST have faith. You either believe Christ died for your sins or not and if you do....then you strive daily to live according to his word and die to your flesh.
Religion is any attempt to HIDE yourself apart from GOD. Ex. Adam and Eve tried to hide themselves with fig leaves…Christianity mean to be like Christ, God has Already come to us thru Jesus now it's out turn to seek his face and his kingdom.
This brother is out here reaching souls and helping people to evaluate their Christian Walk. Get out of Religion and doing church and get in Relationship with Jesus!
One of the most dangerous terms in English diction. If it could be translated into audio, it would sound like (pbpbpbp) From the saxophone of Lisa Simpson. Two words designed and strategically combined to form the biggest oxymoron in the history of mankind. All. Most. But see, as far as the world is concerned, you could live your life foul and could almost get away with murder if you have a nice smile. You could almost meet folks just to almost sleep around Then stop at your local clinic. Well, you almost had a child. See, almost is no stranger to Satan. Here's proof. He only tells lies when they're almost the truth and its amazin' And on incompleteness, we find complacence. But if almost is one of Lucifer's many traits, then we are inadvertently good, that's Satan's impersonations. But on the contrary, Christ did his job fully and He proved He was God when He died on the Cross like it was His duty And to pardon my iniquities that I committed rudely, He resurrected from the Grave just to tell death to excuse me. But excuse me, this is your life and that's something I can't impose on, But your body is God's home, which was alone to get foreclosed on. See, an almost Christian looks right, but lives wrong. Can't stand the conviction in Romans, so they sit down to be comforted in Psalms. Never understood worship, but loved to sing songs like "I surrender al....MOST!" Cause its far too expensive for you to spend your life on something that doesn't appeal to your five senses. See, nowadays, Christianity's like a louie rag, No functional use but we just rock it cause its stylish. Not righteous, but right-ish. So now all God sees is a pile of Ish-males (Ishmaels) when he intended for Isaacs. We're moved by how we feel, so we're saved when we feel like it, So technically we've never really been saved, we merely tried it. So no wonder why we're never sold out when we return it after we buy it. Now, let me break it down because you need beware that your life could lack the very standards that need to be there Cause on that final day of judgement when God's receiving His heir, Will He say "Son, well done" or "puh, medium rare" Cause even by worldly standards, it would be highly insane for you to start spending all of your money days before you almost get paid Like, parents, you wouldn't send your kids to a school that's almost safe. Hey ladies, would you really date a man who claims he's almost straight? And this is the very thing about God that we all try to get around But His standards are like between two mountains, no middle ground. So a half way life is unprofitable to you cause after all the Sunday services, Bibles studies and prayer meetings, and everything that goes between, God will say I never knew you. But that's not even the worst part of living your life as neutral Its that you were once octic, but its your warmness that is causing Him to spew you. And this is the very thing that had me, I was bound and held down by the unforgiving gravity of my spiritual reality. I was a Christian, or at least I portrayed the fantasy with a filthy personal life, but a "God bless you brother" "How you doin' sister" personality. I was a male enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. I said, I was a male enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. My message couldn't be received because I didn't represent the sender, yet I was almost delivered, till that one day that I totally absolutely and completely surrendered. I took heed to a modern profit who proclaimed it was time for change Now I'm now longer bound to sin. Point blank. Off the chain. You can ask Umar Abdul Mutallab, he'll tell you the same. You don't almost go to jail, when you almost blow up a plane. Like you don't almost go to hell, when you almost get saved. Despise the cross that He was slain and thus the cause in which He came, But don't worry, I'm almost done. But before I leave this stage, We have all worked in sin and death was minimum wage, I said, we've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage, But if it wasn't for Christ we would've almost got paid.
man, i heard this back in 09 and was a hi brotha. God bless you, sister but sick private life for many many years . i lacked so much in my walk and never found a good or reliable mentor so i stayed that way until i Almost lost everything. i created so much chaos in the life of my wife and children that was unnecessary. i had /have mental issues im still seeking help for but now its a battle ive surrendered to the Lord he will come through with his promises i must remain obedient through it all . im so thankful for Gods, Mercy, Love, Grace, Patience, Gentleness,Instruction,Forgiveness,Redemption,Selflessness, Though im suffering the consequences for my actions God is like don't do it again dummy focus on me ill pick up the mess you made trust me. To God be the Glory .
You are a dangerous man...JESUSssssss!!!! It is evident that the Spirit of the Lord is upon you. May God continue bless you ABUNDANTLY in all that you do Man of God. Continue to let the Lord use you in a mighty way.
I would love this ministry to come to my church during Children's week and minister not only to the youth, but the adults too. "The minimum wage for my sin is death and we almost got paid, WOW!" So Amazing, so Amazing...He's a mighty God!!! It's late and I'm still up watching videos! Glory be to God, but I'll watch one more and then I'm going to sleep 4 real, POL(praise out loud)!
The audiences reaction was terrible, such celebration for the sad truth we encompass. The spoken was well thought out and proclaimed God's grace, but the audience reacted as if it was something other than convicting truth, who cheers on their demise?
Well the holy spirit was speaking through him, when the holy spirit speaks, you can't control how you react. I am laying in my bed and because of these spoken words, my body jumps by itself like something bigger than me is controlling me and goosebumps run up and down my whole body. When the holy spirit is in the room, there is no telling what a person will do, and when you react it will be the real thing not almost.
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, (NOR ON TH-cam) will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The youth pastor showed this clip to the young ppl last night at my church! after it went off, you could hear a pin drop in that room! It hit thenm & me so hard in the chest, I was convicted from that point on. This is real talk he spittin!
"we've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage and it wasn't for Jesus we would've almost got paid" All I gotta say is phenomenal, gifted writer, I was most definitely touched,i'm speechless right now...
This made me rethink my 25 year plan to give me my "deserved" happy life I grew up a missionary kid, and have backsliden because my parents divorced, my mom abandoned me and my family fall apart no matter how appealing I made my new plan all about me, i watched this and can't convince myself to continue thank you for giving it to me straight, im tired of all this cotton candy american christianity.
we showed this at our youth class and everyone was ministered in one way or the other. i love this its awesome and REAL! thanks for the words that some are afraid to say, your blessed! =]
i have sent this e-mail to so many people that they have stopped allowing me to send stuff...this poem is from God himself through you..blessings my brother!
a freind of mine, son, sent me this link today. I was very moved by this and it touched my heart. God bless you and your work. It was a very strong message. And it was very much, well received.
The thing I respect about this message is that it was more geared towards the Christians. It is calling out a generation that has allowed themselves to be less than fully in His presence to not only become the norm but the requirement. It's not him ranting about how the world is wrong or those filthy sinners etc. It is looking at the deeper cause. Christians unable to represent and provide God's manifested presence. The only thing that can truly change our world.
Very Powerful MESSage, I certainly felt conviction because we can all stand to get a little closer to christ. I am surprised at how much of the comments were so positive. usually when talk about christ come up, the devil comes to tear it down.
One of the most Life changing videos anyone can ever see. Praise God for blessing this man with talent and him using it to glorify the Kingdom. Amazing !!
The moment when you feel that "Speechless, Wow, Awesome, Mindblowing" ain't enough..... i guess there's Hardly any word in the english dictionary to define its .........
This is powerful. SO SO INSPIRED BY THE MESSAGE. THANKS EZEKIEL. This is a blessing-it's encouraging me to do more of spoken word in church. I hope to be as good and powerful as Him. keep up the amazing work and may God continue to work through u. Cold hard truths but massively changes lives.
DAAANNNGGGG!!!!!! OH MY GOSH THAT WAS AMAZING!!! if my moom wasnt sleeping in this room id be yelling!wow i have never seen such an amazing poet and that was such a powerful testimony.please keep me in prayer, i know exactly what this poem is talking about.and as im trying to get back into my walk i need help.i dont want to almost go to heaven.
'I was a "male" enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner. My message couldn't be received because I didn't represent the sender, yet I was almost delivered.' SO DOPE!!
2023 and I’m still here. I listened to this for the first time 10 years ago and it feel the same and even more impactful 🙏🏿🙏🏿
In this very moment!
Good job to the poet Ezekiel Azonwu. Some people can't help but to be critical, they ALMOST listened to what you said.
We all worked in sin and death was minimum wage- but if it wasn't for Christ we would have almost got paid. POW !
6 years later, seeing this again & its like the first time. Still Awesome.
Facts
1:54 man... "Can't stand the conviction in Romans so they sit down to be comforted in Psalms...!!!" *SNAPS*
Can someone explain this part to a person not familiar with the Bible (yet)
“we all worked in sin and death was minimum wage but if it wasnt for Christ we wouldve almost got paid” wooowee thankyou Lord💯❤️
Who still watching in 2023?

2022 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
2023 🙌🏾🙌🏾

2023 and it’s still just as powerful. Bring back the P4CM movement!
Watched this 8 years ago and didn’t understand it. Now I just decided to find it... and man how powerful! Watching in 2021
Through the testimony of Paul on how Christ saved Him from SIN,
King Agrippa said:
"..Paul, ALMOST thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28
I feel like this is me most times...almost saved. I keep praying that God draws me closer to him every day so I can truly live....For him.🙏
OddlyStέphαnie God will only do what allow Him to do. Do like me and surrender your all to Jesus Christ! One love and JAH bless!
You could start slowly on your side of the relationship with him by having morning Devotions with God. (study) a verse(Joshua 1:8)NLT, play a song of worship and praise him
Well said."Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"..Mathew 7:21 ...
Still come back to this almost 8 years later 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow! I want to be fully live a real Christian life. I don't want to be denied access into heaven for having had entertained the world and fleshly pleasures. They mean nothing cz they're the devil in disguise. May God help us and remind us daily to live right as Christians. May God bless P4CM to continue this beautiful job.

This beautiful and on point....."I surrender Al.......most ....."
I hope that the young people in the audience or watching this video right now didn't clap or get hype just because this spoken word was so well put together...but I pray to God that they LISTENED and was CONVICTED by those profound words...because i know for a fact I was
P.O.W.E.R.F.U.L! This poem has a heartstumping message that speaks to me on levels I cannot express. Thank you Lord for this vessel of yours
Heard this maybe 8/9 years ago, came back to it because Jackie Hill Perry mentioned it on their podcast. Literally still as good as when I first heard it.
God be the Glory he speaks threw you Ezekiel. I've watched this I don't know how many times. Please make more heavy hitting poems they are so inspirational to us.! God bless everyone watching let this flip over your boat so you have to walk 😀

He loves you so much, and sees you so beautifully, with so much potential. He wants to show you what you can do, and bless you. But He can't if you don't let him.
He knows you're too beautiful and too precious to suffer in life, and he wants to set you free.
Ezekiel Azonwu's poems are really great. Salvation is not a one time thing. Salvation is a life time of repentance, faith, and good deeds. Faith without works is dead and work without faith is dead. He is an orthodox christian even though he don't know it now.
All I could is wow this dude is for real I have always loved poetry but never heard it like this, God is using him Greatly.😊😇😇😄
*say*
A lesson learned: When it comes to salvation, almost doesn't count. You either got it or you don't. You either believe 100% or you don't believe at all. There's no in-between. It's all or nothing.
This is such a phenomenal piece! I know it's old but I love it! Can't wait for "Poets In Autumn" to come to my town!
I like the poem he confronts a corrupt, faithless and lukewarm church , I like how he subtly uses Paul's admonition to Timothy (2nd Tim 3 :16) to rebuke immorality and carnality (Rom 1 and 2) in the body of Christ today.

Thank You Ezekiel! You is telling the TRUTH! #Almostdoesntcount!
Remember listening to this the first time during a men meeting back in 2012
Meanwhile performed it myself a couple of times already 😇 mof JUST did it from the top of my longs in my room!! Just love the fire and the double entendres in this poem🔥💯❤️
10 years later and this still goes hard as yesterday!
"Death was the minimum wage, but if it wasn't for Christ, we would have almost got paid." I ask for more grace upon your life. God bless you.
even my spirit is pricked with this!!!
LIFE CHANGING!!!! I don't want to meet God one day and hear Him say he never knew me! The words i long to hear are "Well done good and faithful servant!" I'm done being an ALMOST Christian!

This Spoken Word is Manifesting in 2020 more than ever before. Christians really need to hear this again and again, shoot, I throw myself in there too.
#endtimes #wakeuppeople
Simply amazing...I'm speechless
Man this is so good, He has motivated me to step it up in how I live my life for Christ, not almost sold out but completely. The Lord definitely knew I needed to hear this.
2024 still watching
This man just gave a 7 min synopsis on luke warmness and exposes it's detriment .
Wow!! The psalms and romans part was so the truth.
mhmhmhmmmm still my favorite piece !!
I cnat get over the POWER of his words! He isnt afraid to say the blatant truth about some "Christians" theses days..
AMEN!
Wow this is sooo powerful!
We've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage but if it wasn't for Christ we would've almost got paid. LOVE IT!!!!
That was ALMOST the truth. We are saved through faith alone in Christ alone. We are most assuredly called to godliness and holiness once we are born again. We are not saved by our good works. Which this poem strongly implies. Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."

This poem was extremely deep the life I'm living feels like it's so idol now WOW!

But see, as far as the world is concerned, you could live your life foul
and could almost get away with murder if you have a nice smile.
You could almost meet folks just to almost sleep around
Then stop at your local clinic. Well, you almost had a child.
See, almost is no stranger to Satan. Here's proof.
He only tells lies when they're almost the truth and its amazin'
And on incompleteness, we find complacence.
But if almost is one of Lucifer's many traits,
then we are inadvertently good, that's Satan's impersonations.
But on the contrary, Christ did his job fully
and He proved He was God when He died on the Cross
like it was His duty
And to pardon my iniquities that I committed rudely,
He resurrected from the Grave just to tell death to excuse me.
But excuse me, this is your life and that's something I can't impose on,
But your body is God's home, which was alone to get foreclosed on.
See, an almost Christian looks right, but lives wrong.
Can't stand the conviction in Romans,
so they sit down to be comforted in Psalms.
Never understood worship, but loved to sing songs like
"I surrender al....MOST!"
Cause its far too expensive for you to spend your life
on something that doesn't appeal to your five senses.
See, nowadays, Christianity's like a louie rag,
No functional use but we just rock it cause its stylish.
Not righteous, but right-ish.
So now all God sees is a pile of Ish-males (Ishmaels)
when he intended for Isaacs.
We're moved by how we feel, so we're saved when we feel like it,
So technically we've never really been saved, we merely tried it.
So no wonder why we're never sold out when we return it after we buy it.
Now, let me break it down because you need beware
that your life could lack the very standards that need to be there
Cause on that final day of judgement when God's receiving His heir,
Will He say "Son, well done" or "puh, medium rare"
Cause even by worldly standards, it would be highly insane
for you to start spending all of your money days before you almost get paid
Like, parents, you wouldn't send your kids to a school that's almost safe.
Hey ladies, would you really date a man who claims he's almost straight?
And this is the very thing about God that we all try to get around
But His standards are like between two mountains, no middle ground.
So a half way life is unprofitable to you cause after all the
Sunday services, Bibles studies and prayer meetings,
and everything that goes between, God will say I never knew you.
But that's not even the worst part of living your life as neutral
Its that you were once octic,
but its your warmness that is causing Him to spew you.
And this is the very thing that had me,
I was bound and held down by the unforgiving gravity
of my spiritual reality.
I was a Christian, or at least I portrayed the fantasy
with a filthy personal life, but a "God bless you brother"
"How you doin' sister" personality.
I was a male enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner.
I said, I was a male enveloped by guilt because I was stamped a sinner.
My message couldn't be received because I didn't represent the sender,
yet I was almost delivered,
till that one day that I totally absolutely and completely surrendered.
I took heed to a modern profit who proclaimed it was time for change
Now I'm now longer bound to sin. Point blank. Off the chain.
You can ask Umar Abdul Mutallab, he'll tell you the same.
You don't almost go to jail, when you almost blow up a plane.
Like you don't almost go to hell, when you almost get saved.
Despise the cross that He was slain and thus the cause in which He came,
But don't worry, I'm almost done. But before I leave this stage,
We have all worked in sin and death was minimum wage,
I said, we've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage,
But if it wasn't for Christ we would've almost got paid.
Thanks for the lyrics....

God bless you, sister but sick private life for many many years . i lacked so much in my walk and never found a good or reliable mentor so i stayed that way until i Almost lost everything. i created so much chaos in the life of my wife and children that was unnecessary. i had /have mental issues im still seeking help for but now its a battle ive surrendered to the Lord he will come through with his promises i must remain obedient through it all . im so thankful for Gods, Mercy, Love, Grace, Patience, Gentleness,Instruction,Forgiveness,Redemption,Selflessness, Though im suffering the consequences for my actions God is like don't do it again dummy focus on me ill pick up the mess you made trust me. To God be the Glory .
For the 86 of you who disliked could you please explain way
You are a dangerous man...JESUSssssss!!!! It is evident that the Spirit of the Lord is upon you. May God continue bless you ABUNDANTLY in all that you do Man of God. Continue to let the Lord use you in a mighty way.
I would love this ministry to come to my church during Children's week and minister not only to the youth, but the adults too. "The minimum wage for my sin is death and we almost got paid, WOW!" So Amazing, so Amazing...He's a mighty God!!! It's late and I'm still up watching videos! Glory be to God, but I'll watch one more and then I'm going to sleep 4 real, POL(praise out loud)!
The audiences reaction was terrible, such celebration for the sad truth we encompass. The spoken was well thought out and proclaimed God's grace, but the audience reacted as if it was something other than convicting truth, who cheers on their demise?
Well the holy spirit was speaking through him, when the holy spirit speaks, you can't control how you react. I am laying in my bed and because of these spoken words, my body jumps by itself like something bigger than me is controlling me and goosebumps run up and down my whole body. When the holy spirit is in the room, there is no telling what a person will do, and when you react it will be the real thing not almost.
my pastors showed this in church service some weeks back.....it was life-changing!!!
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, (NOR ON TH-cam) will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The youth pastor showed this clip to the young ppl last night at my church! after it went off, you could hear a pin drop in that room! It hit thenm & me so hard in the chest, I was convicted from that point on. This is real talk he spittin!
"we've all worked in sin and death was minimum wage and it wasn't for Jesus we would've almost got paid"
All I gotta say is phenomenal, gifted writer, I was most definitely touched,i'm speechless right now...
Praise the LORD.
May God bless all of those who have a "thumbs down" for they too, will ALMOST be saved.
This made me rethink my 25 year plan to give me my "deserved" happy life
I grew up a missionary kid, and have backsliden because my parents divorced, my mom abandoned me and my family fall apart
no matter how appealing I made my new plan all about me, i watched this and can't convince myself to continue
thank you for giving it to me straight, im tired of all this cotton candy american christianity.
We all worked in sin and death was minimum wage......BUT IF IT WASNT FOR CHRIST WE WOULD HAVE "ALMOST" GOT PAID!!! Powerful AND PROFOUND!!!!
we showed this at our youth class and everyone was ministered in one way or the other. i love this its awesome and REAL! thanks for the words that some are afraid to say, your blessed! =]
i have sent this e-mail to so many people that they have stopped allowing me to send stuff...this poem is from God himself through you..blessings my brother!
This is definitely deep and convicting. It makes us search and examine our lives. Praise God for the annointing on this man's life and on his work!!
a freind of mine, son, sent me this link today. I was very moved by this and it touched my heart. God bless you and your work. It was a very strong message. And it was very much, well received.
This is very good, very on point. I'm 61 years old and it means everything to me to see the younger ones so advanced in faith.
The thing I respect about this message is that it was more geared towards the Christians. It is calling out a generation that has allowed themselves to be less than fully in His presence to not only become the norm but the requirement. It's not him ranting about how the world is wrong or those filthy sinners etc. It is looking at the deeper cause. Christians unable to represent and provide God's manifested presence. The only thing that can truly change our world.
this is amazing....i've watched it so many times...hits deep within me every time. God is definately speaking here.
Very Powerful MESSage, I certainly felt conviction because we can all stand to get a little closer to christ. I am surprised at how much of the comments were so positive. usually when talk about christ come up, the devil comes to tear it down.
"We have all worked in sin and death was minimum wage, but if it wasn't for Christ we would have almost got paid"
Wow, amazing.
Amazing. Heard this at church today and BAWLED like a baby.
it really hit home.
One of the most Life changing videos anyone can ever see. Praise God for blessing this man with talent and him using it to glorify the Kingdom. Amazing !!
This is powerful!! I heard it on the Wade-O Radio Show...wow....he greatest oxymoron in the history of mankind: Almost
The moment when you feel that "Speechless, Wow, Awesome, Mindblowing" ain't enough..... i guess there's Hardly any word in the english dictionary to define its .........
On that final day of judgment while God is receiving his air. Will he say son well done..or medium rare. *The hardest..and realest bar to date.
This is my favorite poem!!!!!!!!!!!!! “We've all worked in sin and death was the minimum wage"
This is powerful. SO SO INSPIRED BY THE MESSAGE. THANKS EZEKIEL. This is a blessing-it's encouraging me to do more of spoken word in church. I hope to be as good and powerful as Him. keep up the amazing work and may God continue to work through u. Cold hard truths but massively changes lives.
This is still my favorite Spoken Word. I come back to it all the time for inspiration.
Just found it yesterday and can't stop watching it! This is so true everybody needs to hear this.
"When he ressurected frim the grave and told death to excuse me" amazing when god gives talent an dc its used to glorify him god bless
Wow. Thank you Jesus for spoken word. Yes hallelujah expose all of us Lord... Soften any hard place we've hardened against your word.
"cant stand the conviction in Romans so they stand down to be comforted in Psalms" WOW... Real serious.
DAAANNNGGGG!!!!!! OH MY GOSH THAT WAS AMAZING!!! if my moom wasnt sleeping in this room id be yelling!wow i have never seen such an amazing poet and that was such a powerful testimony.please keep me in prayer, i know exactly what this poem is talking about.and as im trying to get back into my walk i need help.i dont want to almost go to heaven.
