    Wow! I been thinking this for so long. I feel so alone in this. No one around me wants to hear it. I’m so glad to hear another believer say this. All the Christians around American, consumed by the world and all their things. I know that I’m too comfortable too. I don’t know what to do to get a break through. I’ve tried over and over in my prayer closet. Praying. God I know I’m too comfortable. Please help me. Right now My husband is an alcoholic and has been for 25 years.. I’m raising my last three children who are all teenagers. My husband also has an issue playing too many video games. He is a good provider though. He sounds so much like who you used to be. I just listen to your testimony. I know I have to be stronger and pray more and stop being comfortable and lazy in my life. I did used to pray with fire for so long for my husband. But he is so selfish and hard to get along with. So many times I don’t even feel like praying for him because the way he treats me. Please pray for me and my husband David. I’m so glad I found your channel. I need someone to tell me the truth and not just give me a Carefree gospel. I’m gonna go look for this Pastor that you recommended at the beginning of your video. God bless you brother! Thank you for telling us the truth and speaking the uncompromised Word of God!! PS the people in my church, the pastor and the leadership are all compromising. They preach one thing, but they really live out another. I’m praying for God to send me to a church with a pastor like you mentioned. Or with a pastor like you with your heart. I’m so tired of the hypocritical craziness, in all the churches. I really want to find a church like the church of acts. I want to find strong believers that want to live their life correctly before the Lord. I need a friend. I need someone that will be the iron that sharpens my iron and I sharpen theirs. Thanks again for your videos ❤

      Amen, you’re right, we do value comfort MORE THEN ANYTHING!! Oh help us JESUS!! We really need an awakening!! I know already made a comment, but I hadn’t finished listening to your message.. I just had to jump back on here and say I hear you brother and God help us!! ITS ALL GONNA BURN UP!!! So what’s your plan to do things differently? I’m feeling the conviction, but I know I’ve got to make a plan to change. We can’t feel this way and then not walk it out. More than likely no one around us is going to join in. It’s gonna be a lonely walk with us and The Lord.

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts and experience. I am very sorry to hear about the strain on your marriage and what the Lord has placed on your plate right now. Just looking at this, I was going through something recently where I was tired of someone, not as close as wife or husband, but the Lord reminded me that He did not give up on me when I was a hater of God those years and years of my life. He continued to draw me with loving kindness. The Bible says that you will win him over by your godliness. I believe you when you say it can be difficult to be unequally yoked or struggling, but please continue to pray for him and love him and forgive him as Jesus forgave us. I will pray for Him and you as well. As far as this… I am trying to give more away, purchase less unnecessary items, and help who I can financially around me. Being content with my life and where God has me. Amen

      It sounds like to me your heart and mind are in the right place. I hate when churches guilt trip you with money. It’s actually 12% of Americans that make 75k a year. Don’t feel forced in to thinking that giving away all of your money will bring you closer to God. Idk what church you go to but there are pastors and well known ‘influential’ Christian’s who make well over 75k and I’m sure they don’t feel half as guilty.

      @@tretaylor1230 thank you for the insight tre. There is no one in my home church doing this or making me feel this way, it was just a sermon I listened too and just had me reflecting on my life and my spending habits. It made me a little sad but it helped me have more perspective and to try to be grateful for all I have and I want to be better at being an active participant in Gods kingdom in any way.
