God Wants to Use You! Here's How...

- I've said it and heard it said a million times, "I want to be used by God!" Most Christians do want to be used by God, but don't know exactly how. In this video we discuss "how to be used by God" according to what scripture says. Is there something we as Christians can do to position ourselves to be more useful to God? Yes, there is! Jesus loves when our heart desires to do what pleases Him and advance the Kingdom of God. I hope this helps someone today and challenges us all to position ourselves to be used by the King!

There has been a calling. I don't know why but He did save me at the last minute. He's walked with me and protected me all along even through long suffering. I will serve Him.❤❤❤
Yes HE does and Will.
I only do street ministry. God brings me people to witness to. He usually has me restore people who have lost faith. Amen yes He saved me at that last minute too!!! Luke 12:48 brought me to surrender. Ask Him for guidance and He will put you where you need to be. Keep on lovin on Him keep your heart focused on how great the kingdom is and how could anyone else not want that!!!
@@thomasadisciple ? Do you know that No one can come to Christ except The Father Calls ?
Same thing here!!!
@@bruce8961true. But he uses us on his behalf to do his will. That’s why some of us are actually compelled to approach people.
This video really woke me up. I officially announce my retirement from Video Games.
I cannot wait for my teenage son to tell me this 🙏🏼
Amen! I gave up gaming 8 years ago after 12 years of addiction. There's been few times I've got back to it for a while but have felt so empty and bored while doing it that I've stopped it. There's no going back after you repent from it. Be strong and God bless you!
I need this so much I hope the lord can free me from this distraction so I can get closer to him. It’s just a numbing feeling and they make me feel unfulfilled and angry at some points not the way God wants me to feel.
It's a hobby. Nothing wrong with it.
@@BansheeKing22 For some it is...for me it is. It gets in the way of my time doing something productive or even reading His Word, spending time with Him, let alone my own family. Peace.
As a firm believer, for me this video had several gut punches to the soul and now i know what i must change
Amen!! I went from a very evil lifestyle from sex, to hard drug addiction, violence to everything in between. The good Lord Jesus Christ had better plans for me! I took care of my mother the last 8 years of her life 24/7 and now I volunteer feeding the hungry and trying to serve him in everything I do! I’m far from perfect and never will be, but sanctification is a PROCESS in which we live every day trying to be more like Christ. I love helping others more than helping myself. Pray to him and ask him to tell you what he wants of you and he will let you know! Don’t be surprised when it’s something you didn’t expect to come as was the case with me, but listen to him and he will use you to further his kingdom!!
God bless~
God Bless you for following Him !!
@@bonniebarbee7984 and you as well! My mom raised me in church as a kid and Christian schools, but I never lived right until about 8 years ago. I’m now 44. I said the “sinners prayer” as a kid and I now believe that’s a very dangerous thing to teach and it’s not biblical. Not until I did what’s in Romans 10:9-10 and gave myself wholly to the Lord did I feel him and have a changed life. I didn’t really know what that meant as a child, but he was always there or I’d have been dead or in prison long before now that’s the truth. The Bible is true, raise up a child in Christ and if he ever departs from it, he will return. I’m proof of that.
RELATIONSHIP over RELIGION!!
God bless~
@@KendrasEdge757The sinners prayer is fine IF!!! It is followed up immediately with leading the person to understand what they have just done and what they can do to get to the meat. I agree with you entirely if it’s just the sinners prayer, they have to be taught how to be useful to God.
@@chrisby777 yeah; I agree. I think, personally, that “the sinners prayer” has lead more people to hell than anything in the modern “church”. Strictly because they TYPICALLY JUST say to say this prayer and you’re now a “Christian”. Well, for one “the sinners prayer” isn’t biblical. They TYPICALLY leave out Romans 10:9-10 entirely. One MUST BELIEVE. I also take issue with young children being taught that and baptized as they typically have no idea what any of that truly means, but that’s somewhat of another story entirely.
Yes, I do agree though with you that it has to be followed up with Romans 10:9-10 and the belief stressed to whoever is being told to “say the sinners prayer and be saved” by the “church”.
RELATIONSHIP over RELIGION!!!
God bless~
I'm with you, Kendra. I have many years clean from heroin & He helped me get myself out of that darkness as well. God made us strong to get out of those depths. I'm truly happy for your success in that. Even an occasional slip up won't feel the same, I'd imagine. He is still with us. May He continue to bless you, Sis. ♡
WOW!!!! I was struggling to get to TH-cam on tv and it didn't work. The only way I could get to TH-cam was my laptop, and it immediately opened to You, talking about this! What you need to know is I've been working on screenplays for God since I was 16,,, I'm about to be 70 in August. And I have a very impressive CHRISTIAN producer currently looking at my most expensive script but also one of the most powerful message calling people to the Lord. And He's been working on my sanctification for the past several years. This teaching just put the pedal to the metal! It put MY part in sanctification in the spotlight!!! Thank you brother!!!! And THANK YOU LORD!!!!! This is in line with what He's been saying for years!! But it's more focused!!! BLESS YOU!!!!!
I am going through sanctification now. I needed this message. Thanks ❤
Amen. We all are, and will be until we are with Jesus. He’s leading you 🙏🏼
@@glasshousetvofficial amen!! John 16:13; 1st John 2:27; Philippians 2:13; Philippians 1:6; ETC!! 📖🕊️
It's a life long process. I've been walking with Jesus since I was 12, and I turned 68 a few months ago. It's not over till the race is over, and it won't be over till we draw our last breath, and see Him. We just continually empty ourselves of us, and He fills in our empty spaces with Himself. Hallelujah!!! May your cup be filled and overflowing, amen!!!
@@JamesBates-tw1kq The less we resist, the less it hurts, though. We need to learn how to agree with Him quickly, lol.
@@glasshousetvofficialThank you!!! Praise God and how awesome He is! This popped into my feed last night, wanted to save it until the morning after prayer and Bible. I have been praying for him to use me as a light for those in the darkness, and the realization about coffee surfaced this morning as I woke up. Several commenters above had mentioned coffee as well, exactly what I needed to see when I needed to see it! The lies from the evil one, I was cutting sugar out, nope 👎🏼, no more coffee! Thank you and God bless! Amen brother 🙏
I am interested in you diving a little bit deeper into the difference between “quarrelsome” and “corrective”
It seems to be a fine line of “letting people go / accepting them off a cliff” and actually loving them enough to argue the truth in the state of modern ‘self-deception’ / the rampant rejection of truth from many “believers”…
Please follow up. God bless this iron sharpening iron.
Praying for you Brother in Christ...Our Lord has Chosen you and give you this Platform to nourished us Christians who are still starting to grow our roots in the faith...Glory to God in the highest!
Wow. Thank you for sharing that! I covet your prayers. They mean more to me than people realize! Thanks so much for this message and letting me know. 🙏🏻
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them
Galatians 2:10
Thank you! I'm hoping God can use me
He absolutely can.
@@glasshousetvofficial May I ask what digital or online Bible and commentary you are using? I’d like to check it out! Thank you for this message. It’s really important for me personally right now
Praise the Lord Jesus!
Another great uplifting message. I struggle with this. I’m no preacher but would love to lead someone to the Lord. Many thanks. Chris, Western Australia 🇦🇺.
I believe that you got this pray that God's will be done with your life we are to deny ourselves
Thank you for sharing Gods messages with us.
Great stuff ❤
Hey! Me and my two nieces have been enjoying your video's. They have been to church camps' that look like rock concerts. It's refreshing to see someone rightly dividing the word of God! There's an anointing with GOD"s ministry here on this channel. You're definitely the very few on TV or TH-cam or (perhaps the only one), that has not let any fame or riches cling to you before GOD! I am so sad of what I see on TV with rich ministers with private jets. The Good Lord did not mean to Rob Him of his tithes and offerings. I have been praying for you and your family, that you just get your needs met and not above that for Riches on TH-cam number of clicks. Thanks for your studying with the HOLY SPIRIT! To share it with us. I am sure you do some fasting and prayer a lot. Please stay humble!!!
Amen and AMEN 🕊🙌
Thank you for this encouragement we have been given grace so now so we have to open ourselves so that God can lead us and work through us so we are not found worthless and are discarded in the end. There is a burden on me now to work because I am thankful for his grace to me. We must learn how to do the work…in what ways and how? We are to be led by Him yeah to be effective conduits for God to work through us. Our heart and our desire to do can lead us into helping others, giving, sharing, encouraging, teaching if it is given to us. Paul said we should be worthy representatives of God’s kingdom as ambassadors of Christ.
I hope you see this comment and respond Brother. Now in the 4 warning parables of Matthew 24 and 25, it seems to show we can be disqualified from salvation due to a lack of holiness, lukewarmness, inactivity and sins of omission, 3 out of 4 use clear language of perdition as the consequence. Please respond.
Those parables say the same thing that everything else in scripture says: That not everyone who names the name of Christ, really belongs to Him. I personally don't see anywhere (unless you can specifically point it out to me) that even suggests that someone is truly saved and then somehow loses their salvation due to a lack of holiness, lukewarmness, inactivity, and sins of omission - a person who is truly saved isn't going to demonstrate those traits anyway. You have servants that truly belong to Jesus and therefore obey him, and hypocrites who pretend to be servants, that don't belong to Jesus, as demonstrated by their lack of obedience and faithfulness. That's it. It's not too complicated. Anything else is reading whatever you want into the text, in my opinion.
@@TrueSight_333 ok, not arguing, just trying to figure this out. In John 15:2 JESUS says, "every branch IN ME that does not bear fruit HE
(the FATHER)takes away. HE goes on to say that we are the branches. Can false believers be 'IN' CHRIST?
In the parable of the talents, JESUS says, a master called HIS OWN servants to himself. JESUS used words very precisely. The masters own servant who buried his talent is condemned to hell.
In the parable of the ten virgins, the 5 foolish are running out of oil, in order to run out of something you had to have had a certain amount of whatever it was to begin with. The wise had what the foolish once had and were running out of.. It's interesting that unlike in the Matt 7:21-23 passage where JESUS tells those that practiced lawlessness that HE 'NEVER' knew them, HE tells the foolish virgins, "I don't know you" as if at one time HE did. Look forward to your response.
Amen! This hit me. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome word. Keep bringing truth 🙏
Thanks for this video! This is vary clear and helps a lot!! Much love brother
THANK YOUUU ❤
Thank you brother, God bless you.
Thank you for this video :), i needed to hear that
And, I did too! What a powerful WORD! TRUTH 👏🙌
I’m so glad I found you! Thank you Abba!❤❤
This was a very Beautiful message of Inspiration! Thank you! Peace and Grace ~ Jana
Amen brother!
I wish I had a friend like you in my town . i could be your grand father but I need someone like you to keep me grounded with Jesus. I hope you don't think I'm weird but, with the pain in my spine that makes me crazy and being tired all the time makes me weak in the flesh. My wife isn't like me and doesn't pursue Jesus like I do. I not a rocket scientist and don't study the bible like I would like to but , living and suffering from my body keeps me distracted . . From a old 70"s Hippie (Peace LOVE and Bell bottoms) may peace and Love from Jesus be your lamp to your feet and your soul . Thank your for showing up in my life and giving me hope in a hopeless time !!!!!
Thank you for the video!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! God bless you 🙏🏻 I sincerely appreciate this.
So on point🔥
I got to watch this when I’m not at work.
You used to be a smoker. Please talk to me about that. I have smoked for 45 years and just last night, put it in God’s hands, only to fail miserably this morning with the morning coffee. Yes, I am born again. Yes, He has removed all sorts of wickedness from me. Yes, I pray and read very often and although not 100%, I walk with Christ more and more each day. This smoking thing must go. Please share how you were able to withstand the painful withdrawals.
I was a smoker for 10 years and finally kicked the habit last year. I tried and failed many times before. For me it was a matter of gradually reducing the amount I was smoking while introducing substitutes (mostly chewing gum and sunflower seeds). Then eventually I stopped buying cigs altogether and stuck to the substitutes. After about 3 weeks it's out of your system. That doesn't mean I don't get the itch from time to time, but there's no power to it. Ill pray right now that God delivers you. Stay strong!
@@zachariahzealot Thank you! I know He will take it from me but I don’t have the courage to give it completely to Him.
Just because we desire for God/Jesus Christ to use us in a certain way doesn't mean that it is God's will to use us in that way. I have glasses, cups, bowls and plates that I very seldom use but they are there when I need them. The message can come across as a guilt trip that makes the lesser used vessels feel like they are not good enough or loved as much as the vessels that are used in a mighty way. Peace be you !
❤ Hallelujah ❤
Through the fire then pick up your cross ✝️

AMEN!! 🙌🙏
I've always wondered what sort of rewards there will be. Rewards like crowns correct? My question to that is, isn't just making it into the Kingdom of Heaven good enough? Why strive for more, what are those crowns worth and what are their purpose? Are they for boasting? I used to pray that God found me worthy of being a lowly gardner in heaven, so to speak. I'll have to do more research on the heavenly rewards as it's still a gray area for me; I'm ignorant.
I've seen a list of 6 crowns and another of 5 crowns.
Yes!! And, Don't forget to "BELIEVE" WHEN YOU PRAY!! (Mark 11:24)!! For GOD WILL give you that which YOU ASK FOR when you BELIEVE HIM!! Then, "IF" you can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS will be POSSIBLE FOR YOU"!! JESUS said in (Mark 9:23)!! AMEN!!
Thank you for this POWERFUL WORD of GENTLE CORRECTION and ENCOURAGEMENT, our BROTHER IN CHRIST!! AMEN!!
The GRACE of OUR GOD ALWAYS be with YOU and YOURS! 📖🕊️🤗!
Well, Not like many believe. HE is Not going to give people bigger houses, lots of land, money, better job, etc. But HE will supply our needs and desires according to HIS Will.
@@bruce8961 Tell that to King Solomon, Abraham, King David, etc, etc!! Hmm 🤔
@@bruce8961 Jesus said "IF" you can BELIEVE ALL things are POSSIBLE to them that BELIEVE"!! JESUS Christ in (Mark 9:23)!!
Do we pray FOR, and seek things of the EARTH?? Absolutely NOT! That should never be our FOCUS FOR PRAYING to RECEIVE FROM GOD!!
WE are to "SEEK FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD (which is GOD'S SALVATION). WITHIN YOU"!! (Matthew 6:33)!!
Then, JESUS SAID, "WHEN YOU SEEK GOD'S KINGDOM FIRST, HIS SALVATION by GRACE" (Ephesians 2:8-9); ALL THESE THINGS shall be ADDED unto you"!!
When WE TRULY BELIEVE GOD IN everything; THROUGH everything; and FOR EVERYTHING; ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, but rather "ALL THINGS, nothing EXCLUDED, are POSSIBLE to them that BELIEVE!
The KEY, the ANSWER IS NOT JUST PRAYING! BUT PRAYING IN FAITH, BELIEVING,
FAITH, which is BELIEVING GOD PERIOD!! Either we BELIEVE HIM or WE DO NOT! There is NO IN-BETWEEN!! BELIEVING GOD IS FAITH, and FAITH IS BELIEVING GOD, BEING IN AGREEMENT WITH GOD!
When we LACK IN FAITH, LACK IN BELIEVING GOD, WE PLACE LIMITS on HIM, WHO is UNLIMITED in EVERYTHING HE CAN AND WILL DO for all who BELIEVE!!
GOD is an UNLIMITED GOD! HE is a DEPENDABLE GOD! And HE is FAITHFUL AND TRUE!! HE IS!! WE should ALWAYS BELIEVE HIM, NO MATTER WHAT!! 🕊️🙌🙏📖!!
@@bruce8961 censorship won't permit TRUTH answer!!
@@bruce8961 We should never LIMIT GOD Who is UNLIMITED in ALL HE DOES!!
And JESUS SAID "IF" you can BELIEVE, ALL things (NOTHING EXCLUDED) are POSSIBLE to them that BELIEVE"! (Mark 9:36)!
Should our FOCUS be on praying for THINGS? NO! Should our prayers be FOCUSED ON GOD'S HANDS, ONLY, or SEEKING HIS FACE; HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness FIRST and FOREMOST (Matthew 6:33), ABOVE ALL ELSE?? HMM 🤔??
But, YOU SHOULD NOT place GOD in a BOX, or place LIMITS on HIM, WHO is UNLIMITED in everything HE CAN AND WILL DO, IF we can BELIEVE HIM!!!
Anyone can be Used by God, Saved or Not. No one can come to Christ except The Father Calls. Many that say a so called Sinners Prayer, believe they are Saved But will only Hear, Depart from me You Workers of Iniquity.
If that’s true, then 2 Peter 3:9 is a lie.
@@TrueSight_333 Which part is false? Both are true. God used a non Christian and he told me Psalm 51 while I was playing a video game I looked it up read it repented and cried out to Jesus to forgive me and became born again. As for the second a sinners prayer doesnt save its repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:9 is talking about how God wants no one to perish and all to come to repentance but very few are called and want to give there life to the Lord.
@@RichardMizenko I must have misunderstood your comment then. Please accept my apologies.
@@RichardMizenko ( Matthew 22:14 ) HE does call all. But most are cast into The Lake of Fire. When I was Saved and read The Bible, I read and few there be that Find The Narrow Road. Unbelievable, I can hardly believe It, Trying to Read It again wiping away Tears. All my life I always thought More go to Heaven. I read It 3 or 4 times, I was stunned. The Next day I read It again.
I hope this brightens your day, I love you brother and hope your journey is going good.
What a God Inspired message, Thank you we all Needed to hear this!! May the Lord continue to bless you with more wonderful words of wisdom!!
Your knowledge of the Word is admirable, rightly dividing as we are instructed, a lot of preachers show their lack of biblical knowledge when they attach works to salvation.
So powerful!
Thank you for this very important lesson. I needed it today. ❤️
Thank You God for this video. God bless you, man!
What version of the Bible do you use? I love listening to you thank you so much.. for your ministry.
Mostly ESV but I often reference other versions as well. Thanks for the support!
Such a great message of truth ❤ what bible app/website are you using? I would like to find it, I like the way it is set up 😊
It’s called “blue letter Bible” 🙏🏼
What does your hat mean?
It means having the true revelation of who God truly is, and having true revelation of what Christ came to do on earth, instead of just following religion
It's rebellion. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head since he is the Image and Glory of God ----- ( 1 Corinthians 11:7 )
@@bruce8961 if I remember correctly I think the Bible says for a man to not cover his head while he's praying.
@@beaberean3842 It does, Praying or Prophesying ( 1 Corinthians 11 )
Great video! But i have something that is bothering me and its the unpardonable sin which i think i commited it in class. I fight my own thoughts and then i said in my mind something that demonized the power of the Holy Spirit in my head then i must froze and felt a heat rush through my entire body. did i commit? is my conscious seered with the hot iron.
I dont how im feelings. Nor do i know whays going on in my heart.
Im currently typing this for confirmation i messed up now im asking myself why did i said that and in class i said to my self no no no Jesus used the power of the Holy Spirit not Satan
No, you didn’t commit this sin, be at peace ☺️. It was an intrusive thought that you didn’t want and it’s obvious that you love Jesus. The devil loves to trick believers into thinking they committed this sin but if you research what the sin is, you will see that it is impossible for a born-again believer who loves the Lord and has the Holy Spirit to actually commit such a sin. The Pharisees and religious leaders in Jesus’ day wilfully accused Jesus of doing miracles using the power of demons even though they knew the signs he was performing could only have come from God. The word “wilfully” is important here - they made a deliberate choice NOT to believe that what Jesus was doing was from God.
A brief “intrusive thought” that tells a lie about Jesus is not the same as what they did 🙂
@Hayley_N I'll be honest with something in John 14:15 it says if you love me you will keep my commands and to be honest I haven't been keeping his commands lately and I'm full honest.
Thank you for your comment though!❤
The unpardonable sin is from my understanding is the continuance rejection of Jesus and speaking against the the Holy Spirit.
If you felt sorrow after saying something and regret it, that shows that Jesus is speaking to you to correct it. It shows that your heart has not become hardened. Those with hardened hearts will not care or feel regret.
Ive had numerous moments where Ive said or done something and felt terrible afterwards, followed by instead of what I said or did I should have said or done this.
I would pray asking for forgiveness and ask for help in becoming more like Jesus. I thought I was a helpless cause, but the Lord did mighty changes in me. I dont mean to sound like bragging, but to glorify God and how mighty He is.
The more you focus on God and His will, the better you can understand when He is communicating with you and how He is communicating with you.
Get to know Him, and you will recognize His soft voice. God bless
@yourlocaldailybibleverses ❤ Do not fear nor worry. The whole point of God’s Son dying to forgive sin was to include ALL sin to those who commit to Him as Saviour AND Lord. It is perfect, whole and complete. It is finished. He became God’s sacrificial lamb replacing the needed annual sacrifice formerly done in the Temple. We know the human heart and feelings deceive and cannot be counted on reliably. However, God remains just and loving. Some believers grieve the Holy Spirit. We experience grief when someone dies - someone cared about in that time of ultimate separation. We do not feel grief towards strangers in the same way. So those in the church family whose ignore “Faith without works is dead” choose a separated church existence. They wear jerseys with TEAM JESUS colours but without Holy Spirit led-living, they are not functioning properly. Things are NOT working and their reward will be in this life, failing to begin their new Kingdom life as the prayer says: on earth as it is in Heaven.
