Happy Sunday everyone! There is kind of a weird jump in this video close to the end. I finished and realized I needed to say a few more things about church and how we are all broken sinners. Thank you all for joining me each week! ❤️🦋
I don't think the person that made those comments is a follower on any of the Smith's channels. When you think of celebrities or "famous" people, you may think you know how they will act or what they think of others. I have commented on many of the Smith's videos, just how open, honest and authentic they all are. These folks DO NOT show any privilege. As a matter of fact, they are probably more real and down to earth than some people in your own city.
Cant imagine the negative comments i saw were from anyone who watches their videos. I am a new follower and it is easy to see how laid back and genuine The Smiths are. The MSM and Co. like to push division. The MSM get their talking points from a select few , who get them from an even smaller group. This push for division is as far from Godly as it gets. I am thankful I found this channel! A reminder what I truly need is all in my heart and soul, not anything worldly.
Amen. And so true, and evidenced as well, when Amber and Granger each appeared on the "Picture This! with the Antman" podcast. Stay safe, be well, and stay blessed. And thank you, London for another wonderful prayer and to Amber for another beautiful Arise. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for being you.
Either that or maybe the person that said it doesn't completely understand. And the way you handled it Amber was done beautifully. 👏👏 You speak what is your truth and that is all that matters.
People have traded Biblical correctness for unbiblical political correctness unfortunately..... Thank you for stayin in Gods word. Gods blessing to you and you family and congratulations on your pregnancy.
Completely agree. It definitely says more about those folks than Granger & Amber. Takes a LOT of courage to share such a deeply personal journey, but I think they’re doing it in the hopes of carrying God’s messages, and bringing hope to families in similar situations. I can only speak for myself but I’m constantly humbled and inspired! They have such grace in expressing their grief. Regardless if I’m right or wrong about any of this, I’m grateful to witness it all. I always get something out of it.
Theres haters and trolls everywhere...so sad. Amber handled and answered her I think and stopped her in her tracks...she went back to that wide road I'm sure lol
Amber, you handled that negative comment with truth and grace which shows your character and your relationship with Christ. All we can do is pray for someone that has such a negative view. My view on church, I’m in N Austin area and need to find a church home. I so need the fellowship of other Christians but haven’t found a home. I do worship with First Dallas Baptist on line every Sunday but it’s just not like in person fellowship. I ask for prayers for me to find a church home with Christ as the center. I get so much out of Arise With Amber. Thank you and blessings to you and your precious family. ❤️
As the song states, “red & yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world!” And the only privilege that any of us have is the privilege of Jesus loving us and dying for our sins. And that privilege is offered to all of us & all we must do is accept it🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Thank you, that was a lovely devotion, may God bless you and your precious family 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I’m very upset that you received any negative feedback! Yes everybody has their own opinions but again we’re taught when people don’t have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all!
I lost my 16 year old son in an auto accident, and the loss of a child is devastating and you never get over it. I am working on my relationship with God. That is why I am here. Hugs❤️
I’m sorry you lost your son. I know that loss never dissipates in time, but our efforts to find happiness in our days without our sweet babies, is rewarded. I’m grateful you had him, if only for a short time. May God bless you & ease your sorrow. ❤️
We just left our church we had been at for years. They became too politically correct. They never talked about the "difficult things". We now found a pro life church that is very vocal about it.
I'm kind of sick of hearing about this white privilege. Everything these days is about white privilege. Why? I just don't understand it. She was talking about her personal relationship with Jesus. It had nothing to do with color or race. God created her the way she is. Everyone is special, God created every person, every race, every color. Anyone who comes to Him is welcome, you just have to say "yes" to Him.
Amen I so agree .. we are all God's children and he made each of us special .. and loves us all in a very special way .. it has nothing to do with race , color , creed .. people need to get over theirselves
@@thejesuspeoplehomesteadcyn6043 yes we are but it has been proven and shown daily and all the time that people of color are treated different . The privilege comment comes from others not understanding that or wanting to understand it
@@KBMac-tu2mg I'm white but I sure not privilege ... I was raised and come from a long long line of dirt poor farmers who worked the fields side by side with colored people who was my brothers and sisters .. I will never say I'm sorry for that up bringing .. and I will tell you my brothers and sisters of color won't either .. I'm not going to say I'm ashamed of being white .. and if someone has a problem with me being white that's on them .. not me ..
@@thejesuspeoplehomesteadcyn6043 I understand. I was referring to the other side of privilege that people of color cannot help , not the side of upbringing economically.
Excellent response!! Just the fact she deleted her comment tells me “something”(her conscience) or “someone”(God) made her think twice about her comment!
The Lord said, “In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jeremiah 29:12-13 Prayers Answered!! Make a joyful noise into the Lord- blessings and love for your new edition and to the wonderful family he joins.❤️🙏 🦋
just listen to the lord not the worlds view! I appreciate your honesty! I’m sorry for people that are mean .Remember satan will do anything for you to quit.Keep speaking truth!
Amber, keep on the path that God has put you on. I have family members who are very bitter that their life has not turned out the way they wanted, and blame everyone and everything else for that, not the choices that they have made. I will pray for that person who made the negative comment.❤️
The CBS interview part that I got to see on TH-cam made me cry in the pick up line at school getting my kids. My husband and I just went through another miscarriage in February and it is hard hearing that others went through the same. London’s opening prayer was the sweetest! Thank you for continuing to do arise it makes my Sunday’s a little bit easier. ❤️ Congratulations on your pregnancy and we as a family will continue to pray for all of you.
Congratulations on the pregnancy. Couldn't happen to a better family. Happy Sunday yall. Yee yee. I found my hopefully forever church 2 yrs ago and has been the best thing.
I believe we need church. Its a time to gather with like minded people and just the sense of fellowship. When i miss i can tell there is something missing inside! Thank you for your weekly Arise’s!
I love that you see we in the church are still broken and learning . Christians aren't perfect either . Congrats on your sweet addition ! And thanks for your message !
I Am Catholic and been going to church every Sunday! I was Baptized and made my Communion and Confirmation! I think God is Great! I lost my husband and then my mom 2 days before Christmas! I have questioned the Lord and yelled and have lost faith with losing my mom, I do know that he wants us all back one day but I really miss my mom! Loss is so hard and Im learning every day! I love you and your family, I love how you share your family with us and it truly helps! Congratulations on your baby boy,beautiful things come from grief! ❤️😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
"nobody's watching but you and God" I love that, that is what I'm going to tell myself at dinner the next time im put on the spot by my family - I have such horrible anxiety I don't like being put on the spot lol.
Our Pastor’s message today was Hebrews 10: 19-25. Church is where we are encouraged and held accountable. We are taught, we are challenged. All as we deepen our relationship with Christ. You nailed girl. Janet
So sorry for the negative feedback. You keep pressing forward! Keep on for Christ. Your response was positive and Christ like. We need the church and fellowship of other believers to keep us encouraged. There is so much in the fellowship of other believers. So glad to be in church!!!!
I think what touched me the most this weekend was Amber holding Rivers little red car! What a tribute to a precious child of God who touched so many lives in his one thousand days on this earth 🌎 🦋😊🦋
Amber your message this morning so spoke to my heart, I am going to go back to church, thank you. Don’t let those that don’t think before they speak take your joy, you are amazing and so many of us so look forward to Sunday mornings with you ❤️ So excited about your baby news!! Love Pam
I am so ready to return to the building where I worship. Hopefully once everyone has their vaccine 💉 I can worship “indoors” with my church family 🦋🙏🏼💕
I am scheduled to get my 2nd shot this Saturday, March 20th. They say you have to wait at least 2 weeks after for full coverage, so God willing I will be back in person (with mask on) at my church on Easter Sunday. I can hardly wait!! It has been one year ago today since I was last there. Online was a blessing, but just not the same as in person with your church family. Praise the Lord!!
This is the day that the Lord has made let's be glad and rejoice in it. Amber Satan attacks when you're doing God's work. Rejoice and again I say rejoice for the Lord is working. Keep it up girl everything is going to be okay keep up the good work I love your Sunday mornings arise
I was just praying about this Friday morning! We are headed to Texas and I have been feeling so very lonely. I asked God to place us in a community that we will thrive in and have great fellowship. I need to be in a place where I can volunteer and let my light shine, make new friends and share my kindness with others.
Your channel was suggested by a friend of mine some time ago which I've been silently observing both your Sunday message and the comments of others to learn from along with insight into religion itself. I ask God every day to make me more Christ-like in thought, words, and actions. Words can devastate or they can lift up, and it's up to us to use them wisely. God Bless Everyone.
Wonderful message today! You handled the "white privilege" comment with love and truth! Thank you for not compromising God's Word. We need more and more Christians standing for His Truth not ours!
Thank you for this message. I heard from a pastor that since covid, only 50% of Christians have returned to church. I didn't want to go back with a mask on, but I see how much I really need it. Again, thanks for this exhortation. Blessings to you!❤
I used to be the exact same way about church. I always said “I don’t have to go to church to go to Heaven”. & that may be true.... but the Bible literally preaches more than once (which anything that is repeated in the Bible is repeated to stand out purposely) that we should be in church & gathered with a body of believers praising Jesus..... and so my husband and I go every Sunday. It is very rare that we miss church and I’m so glad we have changed our views to do as the Bible says to do! You are absolutely right.
You nailed it when you said, you thought you were saved, but when you really committed to Christ, he changed you. He changes us. Keep being obedient to Christ. ❤️❤️
Welcome and thank you for joining this beautiful group and big family and you most definitely won’t regret your choice not in for the arise videos it everything they post.
I think believers coming together to worship and pray for each other and praying together is so important to our walk with the Lord. 💓📖 Thank you for being obedient to God and spreading the truth. There will be opposition because the devil doesn't want you to accomplish any of good that arise will bring, but this is all the more reason not to give up.
Thank you Amber and Granger smith I am a recovered drug addicte and a serviver of abuse . In my childhood I servived all the forms of abuse . Yeah it was hard.i hated God for a time and in the past two years after being a big earl Dibbles fan and then finding Granger Smith and Yee yee TV and watching Arise I have my own appointment a feoncie that loves God and two of kids have come back home your love for each other and God gave me courage to keep fighting this fight not of humans but of the principalities of darkness may God bless you and keep you. From one broken sinner that found God to My brother and sister in Christ Yee yee and God bless you and God bless America
Oh wow. I only focused on the goodness that they are doing and their words of encouragement. I love, love how the family growth is such a happy setting. Thank you for coming into the lives of many people and picking us back up. Please keep the walk.. Jesus did.
I'm so happy for this beautiful miracle baby can't wait to take this beautiful Journey with you. Your husband has an amazing voice I love Christian music music is my soul and my passion. When I am feeling down I turned on my Christian music and it makes me feel so much better but your husband has a beautiful voice tell him to pursue his prayer cuz he's amazing your kids are so adorable your daughter saying the prayers so precious may God bless you and your beautiful family😇🙏❤💙💜
I was raised in the catholic church and school and when I was married we baptized our 3 children, but never went to mass on Sunday with them. We were closet catholics for many yrs. I started visiting my daughter in AZ and her in-laws were going to a Lutheran church which I was invited to. It felt comfortable and familiar. So when I'm in town I go, but if I'm home I can still be there thanks to TH-cam.
London crushed it again “Thank you for these happy hearts” Such a special young lady. Amber, you and your family are amazing and I am soo happy for you all. Riv definitely had a part in this blessing. We love you!!! YEEYEE 🦋
I used to think I could be a Christian without going to church, then I went, found My church. I love it and go every weekend I am not at work. And Wednesday night prayer is my favorite!!! I love to worship the Lord!!!
Amber. You know you are being effective, when you get comments like this. Take nothing "personal", because you are "IN" Christ and the arrows are just collected by HIM...Bless you for your persistence and Faith. I also cried to hear the precious prayer that London gave...so wonderful to see children growing up with a Heavenly Father, as well as an earthly one!!!
Amber you are so correct! Church is our community of help and it is our opportunity to serve and worship God with others! The fellowship is what help us to get by and be stronger and live life for Christ in a dark world! I am so happy for your new blessing from God! May he bless you and your baby boy! We are today waiting on our precious granddaughter to be born! We know she is a gift from God to our family! I also wanted to thank you for the River Kelly foundation! I own a preschool in middle Tennessee and it is Mustard Seed Nursery School it has 26 students! During the pandemic the community foundation gave us grants to keep us afloat, I know that the River Kelly Fund provided money to the Communitu Foundation! Thank you for your giving it helped many children during the pandemic in Tennessee and our school was one of them! You and Granger do so much for others, you are raising children to serve and give back! You are a blessing to everyone! God bless and keep you in your journey! Your Tennessee friend and fan
You nailed it in how you addressed that response!!! The Word of God says to speak the Truth in love, and you do that well! It is sad to watch the world manipulate everything to the issue of 'race' and 'privilege'. Not everything is racist or about people's socioeconomic standing. We live in a broken, fallen world, and the enemy of this world (satan) seeks to steal, kill and destroy, any way he can. We do not battle against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness. Remember who we are fighting against!!!!
@The Smiths: Amber, you have no idea how many lives you touch with Arise With Amber. One of your videos really hit me hard and has convinced me it’s time to go back to church. I had been thinking about it for awhile and one of your messages really just stuck with me and opened my mind and my heart again. You may not even realize it, but you are a light in many peoples lives. Keep being that light and doing what you do. 💕
I grew up going to a few different church’s. However I haven’t been since I was a teen. I enjoy watching your Arise episodes. They make me curious, it enlightens me, and it grounds me. I think the issue I have with going back to a church is the pressure I remember feeling as a child. I wish I could slip in the back pew listen and leave. I feel like that’s what I can do with these Arise episodes. 🤍 Thank you!
The point of going to church isn’t to just receive a message. It’s actually mostly about worshiping God. Also, we need that fellowship with other Christians. The fact that you’re not a people person is Satan’s way of keeping you from growing. We need fellowship with other Christians. They build us up and help us with our discernment of the Bible. My husband was an introvert and had to work at being in church but he is so much better for it now. This is just my opinion. 🙏🏻❤️
Bethany, then go slip in the back pew and leave when you need to! That's perfectly fine for you as you grow in your journey! Keep the faith, bottom line!
Bethany If you can find the right church you can do just that. I sawa lady come in late and sit in the back pew of our church and then leave early. Noone minded. The next week she came in late in back and was crying. When she got up to leave I went and told her she was welcome even to come in late...I asked if I could pray with her for wjatever he was crying about. She now says Jesus sent me that day to show her what he was like. Shes been saved now for 10 years. Some churches are too big for some of us and what I see God say is to seek Christ and to not abstain from gathering together. That gathering can be 2 or 3 people anyplace gathered in the name of Jesus. I do think it needs to nein person gathering not virtual or zoom as we get support and learn and griw best in person. Jesus was very much into person to person.
Your response is right on Amber....we are to hate sin like God does and then love everyone like He does. I had a very similar experience to yours and you are telling the truth. You have a loving spirit and I'm so happy for you guys.
I understand you’re feeling about being truly saved in your thirties! I feel differently about a lot of things after life experiences and with age. Me views about our God and church and many things have grown and expanded since I was child going to church.
Your humility and grace comes through clearly. I honestly appreciate you and your family videos. Uplifting one another through our struggles is what we are called to do. A pure heart is all I long for and the Lord showing me others through his eyes.
I love my church!! It feels like a breath of fresh air coming from church! My son has been to church every Sunday since he was 6 weeks old!! He loves it so much and counts down the days to Church and Bible study! We have a great Wiggly worship program for him to learn! He has his age appropriate Bible and loves reading it and taking it to church on Sundays!!
I have a great church. My family was welcomed immediately and I wish everyone to feel that way when they walk into their church!!! God is Good!!! And God Bless you Amber!!!
I haven’t been back to church since the rona started (not because I’m scared but I just got in the habit of not going). Then my mom mentioned it to me last week, I’ve been thinking a lot of about it lately, and now your arise. I think God is trying to tell me I need to go back to church, We just need to find the right one.
Dear Emily Young, praise the Lord that you recognize God's voice speaking to your heart!!! Since He now has your attention, just ask Him and He WILL lead you to exactly the right church!!! God bless you!
You keep giving truth with grace! We love our church family. The support system is so important and helps get the week going with a better outlook. Congratulations on the new baby. Gods timing is perfect! 💙
Amber please don't apologize you have worked hard for what you have and don't ever apologize for how you feel about God. You just helped me to understand I was broken by the preacher and members of the church. So I kinda felt that was how all churches are. You are helping me to see things from a different perspective and I truly blessed by watching you. Congratulations on your new baby. My family is so happy for you and your family. May God bless you all
Amber, I feel like this is not a place for negativity. We come here on Sunday mornings to hear you share your love of the Lord, your family, and others. It truly inspires me and I believe all who hear you as well. I so look forward to Sunday mornings and appreciate you. You are so blessed to have your new baby on the way! Can’t wait to follow in this journey with you all🙏🏻💜👼 YOU are chosen and so loved. ❤️
Thanks for sharing this morning! Love love the whole smith family! And I’d love to meet y’all in person sometime! Congratulations on the lil one! One thing I wanted to say that I’ve learned more recently, that I am no longer a sinner or a beggar. I was but now I am found and I’m now a Son! An heir! A joint-heir with God! I totally agree with you on church! I grew up in a very conservative almost cult setting. But I’m so blessed to find a church that is so full of Holy Spirit!! I along with you wish everyone could experience Holy Spirit like I have!! Blessings!!
Good morning, Amen to everything you said! Every time you have done Arise I have heard love, truth, and light with grace. Congratulations on the baby and have a blessed week!
Beautifully said Amber. I’m still on my journey to get closer to God and make him my priority. I have to say being here with you every Sunday morning definitely guides me. I definitely feel a difference when i go to church every Sunday opposed to not going. Congratulations on baby Smith I’m so excited for y’all . It definitely shows how good God is . Happy Sunday everyone 😊. Much love to you Amber ❤️🙏🏻🦋
Darlin, there will be people who want to make every single thing about race, negativity and hatefulness. There's nothing anyone can do to change those kinds of attitudes. Just pray for the negative people and give that situation to God. However, you handled that situation with grace and kindness. Embrace the happiness you and your family have with this new life you're about to welcome into the world. We are sending you and yours love and happy thoughts from the mountains of Tennessee!
So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Such a beautiful Christian family. I joined my church 3 years ago and was real and truly saved then. My church family is so wonderful and I love them all. It helps as a Christian woman to have the fellowship.
Love to see the kids starting young with corporate prayer. Stay close to GOD. Those who give negative comments don't have the spirit dwelling in them and most are lost. Political correctness is evil. Its the opposite of the Bible.
So happy for y'all. I'm finally here when it's posted! I grew up in a First Christian Church and thought my family was Christian but it was Sunday only but not lived at home. I was back and forth much of my 20s and came to know Jesus when I had my first daughter. I guess I understood what the Bible taught more then because I was responsible for her life and spiritual teaching so she would return back to Him. I have gone to several church and was very involved. I have never been fully included, mostly because I had special needs kids and didn't have help with them as a single mom with a fulltime job as a critical care nurse. We have been hurt by church people and it has affected my girls most from how they've seen us treated. I am now disabled but still hope to find a real church one day soon. God bless you Amber for all you and Granger do. I often watch your church online. Blessings to y'all and am so happy for your pregnancy.
Amber I wanted you to know that London's prayer touched my heart. I was having a bad day & to hear her pray it made a positive effect on my day. Thank you London for your prayer. Keep Jesus in your heart & don't forget the positive effect that your parents have on your life. Amber just another word of encouragement. You & Granger keep raising your kids right because you are doing a great job. I will keep you , Granger, London & Lincoln in my prayers. God bless you!!
Going to church is very important too me. I’m glad here in Utah our church’s have been open since last May. I haven’t been saved until my 50’s. I was raised Mormon and I always knew something was missing and I found it being a Christian. I haven’t been one for long only 2 1/2 years. So I’m new to all of this. God bless you and your family ❤️
I feel more connected with God and Jesus when I'm in nature alone. Hiking, walking, fishing, kayaking, sitting by a lake and reading, I feel God's love. God bless you all!
I feel guilty but still don't feel the need to go to a church. Not a people person and that will be my problem to bare. I appreciate listening to you on Sunday morning though.
This is exactly me also. I do feel really guilty, but I am also have social anxiety really bad. It prevents me from doing things socially, unless I know everyone that I will be around. I know God sees that, but is it just an excuse? I don’t know.
Amber, I wish I’d heard this earlier❣️. Last week, my daughter flooded me with comments like that because our views differ!!! I was in pain, then she broke my heart!!! She’s bitter and wants to blame me. She makes me feel like I’m a fool, then I break and say something irrational. She focuses on that and later I apologize for days❣️ Yesterday she tried again and when she wasn’t breaking me, she changed the conversation to try make me feel guilty about my past. I am a different woman, now that I am TRULY SAVED❣️
God bless you, Melissa Johnson. I am so sorry to hear about the pain your daughter caused you. Take heart, the Bible says: "Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them." (Ps. 119:165). Please understand that people who hurt do so because they are hurting. I also have to believe that your daughter is ranting on you because you are, to her, a solid rock, and she knows that your love from her cannot be removed. You, in your patience and love, are representing Jesus to her. Continue to love her. She needs more of Jesus. May God continue to strengthen you in this situation.
Praise God for the Blessing of a new child. I found out a month ago that our daughter was pregnant with our first grandchild. We were only able to have the one child, that we were not supposed to be able to have and she was a true blessing. My comments last week were only intended to affirm and agree with you concerning eternal security. It is a doctrine that many will not accept. Prayers for you, Granger, and the kids. God bless you all and the new life He is giving to you.
Congratulations on the pregnancy yes this is Judy I saw you on channel 12 when you was talkin about the pregnancy so I know what you did it was a wonderful thing and I'm glad you talked about the church we all need to find a good church and sometimes I wish we had more revivals that's when I really like revivals when you go to church every day they have a good preacher but you don't see revivals around here no more and that is so sad that's how people become saved so much as going to a Revival thank you Amber
First of all I really enjoy the Arise videos. Now to make it clear, I was a regular church goer until 2 years ago when my health prevents me from getting out. God did call us as Believers to assemble. But make no mistake. The church is just a building. WE ARE THE CHURCH. That’s why the word of God tells us to GO OUT and spread the GOOD NEWS. Thank you for your boldness in telling and standing up for your faith.
I find it sad when people interject race into something that has nothing to do with race. I often wonder how they can walk around with this agenda in their head all day. I only see your videos as your journey in faith and you just sharing that. Not unlike a pastor in church sharing the word. I'm a CEO church goer to the church I've been attending since I was a child. The current pastors we have I just don't connect with, so I seek out other places online that I can join in, especially with most of it being live feeds during covid. I love your Arise for that purpose!
So happy to hear you standup for the gospel of Christ, it’s amazing how many people call themselves Christians but change the gospel to fit the world. We have to be in the world not of the world. We have enjoyed watching the Smith family. Jeff , Sandy and Bandit.
I wasn’t grown up in church as much as I would’ve liked but I recently have felt the strongest pull to Jesus. I have always believed in God and I was also a CEO. I believed church wasn’t necessary as well but the last two weeks I have been going to church. I’ve went to two different ones trying to find my home and i think i may have found it! I truly believe you have felt lead me here and awaken God in my heart.
Happy Sunday everyone! There is kind of a weird jump in this video close to the end. I finished and realized I needed to say a few more things about church and how we are all broken sinners. Thank you all for joining me each week! ❤️🦋
Everything you do is Perfect, Amber!
I try not to miss anything posted by my favorite TH-cam Family ❤️❤️ God bless y’all on this continued journey can’t wait for more!
Everybody deserves forgiveness 😇
You guys are awesome, best TH-camrs ever😊
@@basilleavesandhoneybees483 no one is perfect that’s why we need Christ we’re all imperfect
I don't think the person that made those comments is a follower on any of the Smith's channels. When you think of celebrities or "famous" people, you may think you know how they will act or what they think of others. I have commented on many of the Smith's videos, just how open, honest and authentic they all are. These folks DO NOT show any privilege. As a matter of fact, they are probably more real and down to earth than some people in your own city.
Cant imagine the negative comments i saw were from anyone who watches their videos. I am a new follower and it is easy to see how laid back and genuine The Smiths are. The MSM and Co. like to push division. The MSM get their talking points from a select few , who get them from an even smaller group. This push for division is as far from Godly as it gets.
I am thankful I found this channel! A reminder what I truly need is all in my heart and soul, not anything worldly.
Amen. And so true, and evidenced as well, when Amber and Granger each appeared on the "Picture This! with the Antman" podcast. Stay safe, be well, and stay blessed. And thank you, London for another wonderful prayer and to Amber for another beautiful Arise. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for being you.
Either that or maybe the person that said it doesn't completely understand. And the way you handled it Amber was done beautifully. 👏👏 You speak what is your truth and that is all that matters.
YESSSSS!!!!!
Amen Amber you just keep teaching truth
People have traded Biblical correctness for unbiblical political correctness unfortunately..... Thank you for stayin in Gods word. Gods blessing to you and you family and congratulations on your pregnancy.
Mega ditto!!
This! 💯
AMEN!
Amen
Yes they have !!
"Im just one beggar trying to tell another beggar where to find some bread." Amen, wonderful response. Love y'all!
Well said 🦋
Amen
i can not understand anyone having that view of you. Y'all are the sweetest people
Completely agree. It definitely says more about those folks than Granger & Amber. Takes a LOT of courage to share such a deeply personal journey, but I think they’re doing it in the hopes of carrying God’s messages, and bringing hope to families in similar situations. I can only speak for myself but I’m constantly humbled and inspired! They have such grace in expressing their grief. Regardless if I’m right or wrong about any of this, I’m grateful to witness it all. I always get something out of it.
Theres haters and trolls everywhere...so sad. Amber handled and answered her I think and stopped her in her tracks...she went back to that wide road I'm sure lol
@@oo0itsria you said it perfectly. I agree with everything you said. I always get something from the message. Their family is such an inspiration.
The devil comes in all forms to speak lies to undermine God's love.
Amber, you handled that negative comment with truth and grace which shows your character and your relationship with Christ. All we can do is pray for someone that has such a negative view. My view on church, I’m in N Austin area and need to find a church home. I so need the fellowship of other Christians but haven’t found a home. I do worship with First Dallas Baptist on line every Sunday but it’s just not like in person fellowship. I ask for prayers for me to find a church home with Christ as the center. I get so much out of Arise With Amber. Thank you and blessings to you and your precious family. ❤️
As the song states, “red & yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world!” And the only privilege that any of us have is the privilege of Jesus loving us and dying for our sins. And that privilege is offered to all of us & all we must do is accept it🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you, that was a lovely devotion, may God bless you and your precious family 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Yes, well said.
It is a Gift from God. It is the Best Gift you will ever be given by anyone, and you will never be sorry once you accept it.
@@tanyabailey2784 Amen 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I’m very upset that you received any negative feedback! Yes everybody has their own opinions but again we’re taught when people don’t have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all!
I lost my 16 year old son in an auto accident, and the loss of a child is devastating and you never get over it. I am working on my relationship with God. That is why I am here. Hugs❤️
im sorry about your loss:( hope u are doing better each day
I’m sorry you lost your son. I know that loss never dissipates in time, but our efforts to find happiness in our days without our sweet babies, is rewarded. I’m grateful you had him, if only for a short time. May God bless you & ease your sorrow. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family 💕
Amber ... " I'm just 1 beggar trying to tell another beggar where to find some bread "
I LOVE THIS !! ^^^
We just left our church we had been at for years. They became too politically correct. They never talked about the "difficult things". We now found a pro life church that is very vocal about it.
I'm kind of sick of hearing about this white privilege. Everything these days is about white privilege. Why? I just don't understand it. She was talking about her personal relationship with Jesus. It had nothing to do with color or race. God created her the way she is. Everyone is special, God created every person, every race, every color. Anyone who comes to Him is welcome, you just have to say "yes" to Him.
Amen I so agree .. we are all God's children and he made each of us special .. and loves us all in a very special way .. it has nothing to do with race , color , creed .. people need to get over theirselves
What exactly is white priviledge 'cause I still haven't found any?
@@thejesuspeoplehomesteadcyn6043 yes we are but it has been proven and shown daily and all the time that people of color are treated different . The privilege comment comes from others not understanding that or wanting to understand it
@@KBMac-tu2mg I'm white but I sure not privilege ... I was raised and come from a long long line of dirt poor farmers who worked the fields side by side with colored people who was my brothers and sisters .. I will never say I'm sorry for that up bringing .. and I will tell you my brothers and sisters of color won't either .. I'm not going to say I'm ashamed of being white .. and if someone has a problem with me being white that's on them .. not me ..
@@thejesuspeoplehomesteadcyn6043 I understand. I was referring to the other side of privilege that people of color cannot help , not the side of upbringing economically.
Excellent response!! Just the fact she deleted her comment tells me “something”(her conscience) or “someone”(God) made her think twice about her comment!
The Lord said, “In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jeremiah 29:12-13 Prayers Answered!! Make a joyful noise into the Lord- blessings and love for your new edition and to the wonderful family he joins.❤️🙏 🦋
That comment was so off. Humility and awareness shines through each Arise.
just listen to the lord not the worlds view! I appreciate your honesty! I’m sorry for people that are mean .Remember satan will do anything for you to quit.Keep speaking truth!
Amber, keep on the path that God has put you on. I have family members who are very bitter that their life has not turned out the way they wanted, and blame everyone and everything else for that, not the choices that they have made. I will pray for that person who made the negative comment.❤️
The CBS interview part that I got to see on TH-cam made me cry in the pick up line at school getting my kids. My husband and I just went through another miscarriage in February and it is hard hearing that others went through the same. London’s opening prayer was the sweetest! Thank you for continuing to do arise it makes my Sunday’s a little bit easier. ❤️ Congratulations on your pregnancy and we as a family will continue to pray for all of you.
To Kelsey Snyder, I'm so sorry to hear of another loss. Keep your faith. I will be praying for you and your Husband.
@@mariocruz6281 thank you for your kind words and prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Will continue to pray for you.
@@2legit2quit4u thank you ❤️
May God comfort u and ur husband Kelsey.😓💕
London led a beautiful prayer this morning .I'm so happy, River sending a little brother"))Amen! #healinginthepeaceofChrist
This response was a perfect example of grace seasoned with salt.💜
You keep being you! You guys are an amazing family! Negative people will ALWAYS be negative. You make a huge positive impact.
Congratulations on the pregnancy. Couldn't happen to a better family. Happy Sunday yall. Yee yee.
I found my hopefully forever church 2 yrs ago and has been the best thing.
I believe we need church. Its a time to gather with like minded people and just the sense of fellowship. When i miss i can tell there is something missing inside!
Thank you for your weekly Arise’s!
I love that you see we in the church are still broken and learning . Christians aren't perfect either . Congrats on your sweet addition ! And thanks for your message !
I Am Catholic and been going to church every Sunday! I was Baptized and made my
Communion and Confirmation! I think God is Great! I lost my husband and then my mom 2 days before Christmas! I have questioned the Lord and yelled and have lost faith with losing my mom, I do know that he wants us all back one day but I really miss my mom! Loss is so hard and Im learning every day! I love you and your family, I love how you share your family with us and it truly helps! Congratulations on your baby boy,beautiful things come from grief! ❤️😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
"nobody's watching but you and God" I love that, that is what I'm going to tell myself at dinner the next time im put on the spot by my family - I have such horrible anxiety I don't like being put on the spot lol.
Our Pastor’s message today was Hebrews 10: 19-25. Church is where we are encouraged and held accountable. We are taught, we are challenged. All as we deepen our relationship with Christ. You nailed girl. Janet
So sorry for the negative feedback. You keep pressing forward! Keep on for Christ. Your response was positive and Christ like. We need the church and fellowship of other believers to keep us encouraged. There is so much in the fellowship of other believers. So glad to be in church!!!!
I think what touched me the most this weekend was Amber holding Rivers little red car! What a tribute to a precious child of God who touched so many lives in his one thousand days on this earth 🌎
🦋😊🦋
Amber your message this morning so spoke to my heart, I am going to go back to church, thank you. Don’t let those that don’t think before they speak take your joy, you are amazing and so many of us so look forward to Sunday mornings with you ❤️ So excited about your baby news!! Love Pam
I am so ready to return to the building where I worship. Hopefully once everyone has their vaccine 💉 I can worship “indoors” with my church family 🦋🙏🏼💕
I am scheduled to get my 2nd shot this Saturday, March 20th. They say you have to wait at least 2 weeks after for full coverage, so God willing I will be back in person (with mask on) at my church on Easter Sunday. I can hardly wait!!
It has been one year ago today since I was last there. Online was a blessing, but just not the same as in person with your church family. Praise the Lord!!
I go to church, can’t wait for Sunday🙏 I have been saved for about 10 years and I am 66 years old. I love hearing you talk about our God 🙏❤️
This is the day that the Lord has made let's be glad and rejoice in it. Amber Satan attacks when you're doing God's work. Rejoice and again I say rejoice for the Lord is working. Keep it up girl everything is going to be okay keep up the good work I love your Sunday mornings arise
I was just praying about this Friday morning! We are headed to Texas and I have been feeling so very lonely. I asked God to place us in a community that we will thrive in and have great fellowship. I need to be in a place where I can volunteer and let my light shine, make new friends and share my kindness with others.
God's word always comes through you Amber! God bless you my friend 🙏
Your channel was suggested by a friend of mine some time ago which I've been silently observing both your Sunday message and the comments of others to learn from along with insight into religion itself. I ask God every day to make me more Christ-like in thought, words, and actions. Words can devastate or they can lift up, and it's up to us to use them wisely. God Bless Everyone.
Wonderful message today! You handled the "white privilege" comment with love and truth! Thank you for not compromising God's Word. We need more and more Christians standing for His Truth not ours!
London is such a sweetheart. She does a great job helping you get ARISE started 🥰
Amber, you touched my heart. Don't allow those negative people affect you.
Thank you for this message. I heard from a pastor that since covid, only 50% of Christians have returned to church. I didn't want to go back with a mask on, but I see how much I really need it. Again, thanks for this exhortation. Blessings to you!❤
I used to be the exact same way about church. I always said “I don’t have to go to church to go to Heaven”. & that may be true.... but the Bible literally preaches more than once (which anything that is repeated in the Bible is repeated to stand out purposely) that we should be in church & gathered with a body of believers praising Jesus..... and so my husband and I go every Sunday. It is very rare that we miss church and I’m so glad we have changed our views to do as the Bible says to do! You are absolutely right.
You nailed it when you said, you thought you were saved, but when you really committed to Christ, he changed you. He changes us. Keep being obedient to Christ. ❤️❤️
This is my first time watching and this may be a new staple of my Sunday. Love it and congrats!!
Thank you!
Thank you! And I love my church am grateful beyond compare for the gospel taught! Bless y'all
Hello welcome to our group.
Welcome and thank you for joining this beautiful group and big family and you most definitely won’t regret your choice not in for the arise videos it everything they post.
I think believers coming together to worship and pray for each other and praying together is so important to our walk with the Lord. 💓📖 Thank you for being obedient to God and spreading the truth. There will be opposition because the devil doesn't want you to accomplish any of good that arise will bring, but this is all the more reason not to give up.
Thank you Amber and Granger smith I am a recovered drug addicte and a serviver of abuse . In my childhood I servived all the forms of abuse . Yeah it was hard.i hated God for a time and in the past two years after being a big earl Dibbles fan and then finding Granger Smith and Yee yee TV and watching Arise I have my own appointment a feoncie that loves God and two of kids have come back home your love for each other and God gave me courage to keep fighting this fight not of humans but of the principalities of darkness may God bless you and keep you. From one broken sinner that found God to My brother and sister in Christ Yee yee and God bless you and God bless America
I’m so sorry for tot pain. I’m glad you have seen the light and felt His presence! Keep going ☺️
We're all broken. Hang in there, Jon!!!
Oh wow. I only focused on the goodness that they are doing and their words of encouragement. I love, love how the family growth is such a happy setting. Thank you for coming into the lives of many people and picking us back up. Please keep the walk.. Jesus did.
I'm so happy for this beautiful miracle baby can't wait to take this beautiful Journey with you. Your husband has an amazing voice I love Christian music music is my soul and my passion. When I am feeling down I turned on my Christian music and it makes me feel so much better but your husband has a beautiful voice tell him to pursue his prayer cuz he's amazing your kids are so adorable your daughter saying the prayers so precious may God bless you and your beautiful family😇🙏❤💙💜
I agree I can feel the presence of God in the non denominational church. I have chills the whole time and cry the whole time
We feel the same way about needing to worship together in our church. Community is so important.
*congratulations on your news!
I was raised in the catholic church and school and when I was married we baptized our 3 children, but never went to mass on Sunday with them. We were closet catholics for many yrs. I started visiting my daughter in AZ and her in-laws were going to a Lutheran church which I was invited to. It felt comfortable and familiar. So when I'm in town I go, but if I'm home I can still be there thanks to TH-cam.
London crushed it again “Thank you for these happy hearts” Such a special young lady. Amber, you and your family are amazing and I am soo happy for you all. Riv definitely had a part in this blessing. We love you!!! YEEYEE 🦋
I used to think I could be a Christian without going to church, then I went, found My church. I love it and go every weekend I am not at work. And Wednesday night prayer is my favorite!!! I love to worship the Lord!!!
Your teachings today are exactly why people were upset during COVID when they couldn’t go to church!
I’ve gone to church all my life and I’m so glad I have! I feel it’s very important to fellowship together with our brothers and sisters in Christ!
Amber. You know you are being effective, when you get comments like this. Take nothing "personal", because you are "IN" Christ and the arrows are just collected by HIM...Bless you for your persistence and Faith. I also cried to hear the precious prayer that London gave...so wonderful to see children growing up with a Heavenly Father, as well as an earthly one!!!
Amber you are so correct! Church is our community of help and it is our opportunity to serve and worship God with others! The fellowship is what help us to get by and be stronger and live life for Christ in a dark world!
I am so happy for your new blessing from God! May he bless you and your baby boy! We are today waiting on our precious granddaughter to be born!
We know she is a gift from God to our family!
I also wanted to thank you for the River Kelly foundation! I own a preschool in middle Tennessee and it is Mustard Seed Nursery School it has 26 students! During the pandemic the community foundation gave us grants to keep us afloat, I know that the River Kelly Fund provided money to the Communitu Foundation! Thank you for your giving it helped many children during the pandemic in Tennessee and our school was one of them! You and Granger do so much for others, you are raising children to serve and give back! You are a blessing to everyone!
God bless and keep you in your journey!
Your Tennessee friend and fan
You nailed it in how you addressed that response!!! The Word of God says to speak the Truth in love, and you do that well! It is sad to watch the world manipulate everything to the issue of 'race' and 'privilege'. Not everything is racist or about people's socioeconomic standing. We live in a broken, fallen world, and the enemy of this world (satan) seeks to steal, kill and destroy, any way he can. We do not battle against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness. Remember who we are fighting against!!!!
@The Smiths: Amber, you have no idea how many lives you touch with Arise With Amber. One of your videos really hit me hard and has convinced me it’s time to go back to church. I had been thinking about it for awhile and one of your messages really just stuck with me and opened my mind and my heart again. You may not even realize it, but you are a light in many peoples lives. Keep being that light and doing what you do. 💕
I grew up going to a few different church’s. However I haven’t been since I was a teen. I enjoy watching your Arise episodes. They make me curious, it enlightens me, and it grounds me. I think the issue I have with going back to a church is the pressure I remember feeling as a child. I wish I could slip in the back pew listen and leave. I feel like that’s what I can do with these Arise episodes. 🤍 Thank you!
The point of going to church isn’t to just receive a message. It’s actually mostly about worshiping God. Also, we need that fellowship with other Christians. The fact that you’re not a people person is Satan’s way of keeping you from growing. We need fellowship with other Christians. They build us up and help us with our discernment of the Bible. My husband was an introvert and had to work at being in church but he is so much better for it now. This is just my opinion. 🙏🏻❤️
Bethany, then go slip in the back pew and leave when you need to! That's perfectly fine for you as you grow in your journey! Keep the faith, bottom line!
Bethany If you can find the right church you can do just that. I sawa lady come in late and sit in the back pew of our church and then leave early. Noone minded. The next week she came in late in back and was crying. When she got up to leave I went and told her she was welcome even to come in late...I asked if I could pray with her for wjatever he was crying about. She now says Jesus sent me that day to show her what he was like. Shes been saved now for 10 years. Some churches are too big for some of us and what I see God say is to seek Christ and to not abstain from gathering together. That gathering can be 2 or 3 people anyplace gathered in the name of Jesus. I do think it needs to nein person gathering not virtual or zoom as we get support and learn and griw best in person. Jesus was very much into person to person.
Your response is right on Amber....we are to hate sin like God does and then love everyone like He does. I had a very similar experience to yours and you are telling the truth. You have a loving spirit and I'm so happy for you guys.
I understand you’re feeling about being truly saved in your thirties! I feel differently about a lot of things after life experiences and with age. Me views about our God and church and many things have grown and expanded since I was child going to church.
Thank you for being a follower of Christ and wearing a band of courage. We need this in this world.
Your humility and grace comes through clearly. I honestly appreciate you and your family videos. Uplifting one another through our struggles is what we are called to do. A pure heart is all I long for and the Lord showing me others through his eyes.
I love my church!! It feels like a breath of fresh air coming from church! My son has been to church every Sunday since he was 6 weeks old!! He loves it so much and counts down the days to Church and Bible study! We have a great Wiggly worship program for him to learn! He has his age appropriate Bible and loves reading it and taking it to church on Sundays!!
Good Morning Amber. Watched you on the CBS Morning Show and I cried. Thank you so much for the wonderful words you share.
@@finn-gb1px I watched it on the TV. I just made sure to be watching the morning news.
I have a great church. My family was welcomed immediately and I wish everyone to feel that way when they walk into their church!!! God is Good!!! And God Bless you Amber!!!
Keep the faith. Speak the truth in love. God bless!
I haven’t been back to church since the rona started (not because I’m scared but I just got in the habit of not going). Then my mom mentioned it to me last week, I’ve been thinking a lot of about it lately, and now your arise. I think God is trying to tell me I need to go back to church, We just need to find the right one.
Dear Emily Young, praise the Lord that you recognize God's voice speaking to your heart!!! Since He now has your attention, just ask Him and He WILL lead you to exactly the right church!!! God bless you!
Please go to church! Here in Canada, it's not allowed due to the rona.
You keep giving truth with grace! We love our church family. The support system is so important and helps get the week going with a better outlook. Congratulations on the new baby. Gods timing is perfect! 💙
Amber please don't apologize you have worked hard for what you have and don't ever apologize for how you feel about God. You just helped me to understand I was broken by the preacher and members of the church. So I kinda felt that was how all churches are. You are helping me to see things from a different perspective and I truly blessed by watching you. Congratulations on your new baby. My family is so happy for you and your family. May God bless you all
Congratulations on yalls new baby that god has given to y’all. I believe that everything happens for a reason. God bless you all. Peggy
Amber, I feel like this is not a place for negativity. We come here on Sunday mornings to hear you share your love of the Lord, your family, and others. It truly inspires me and I believe all who hear you as well. I so look forward to Sunday mornings and appreciate you. You are so blessed to have your new baby on the way! Can’t wait to follow in this journey with you all🙏🏻💜👼 YOU are chosen and so loved. ❤️
Thanks for sharing this morning! Love love the whole smith family! And I’d love to meet y’all in person sometime! Congratulations on the lil one!
One thing I wanted to say that I’ve learned more recently, that I am no longer a sinner or a beggar. I was but now I am found and I’m now a Son! An heir! A joint-heir with God!
I totally agree with you on church! I grew up in a very conservative almost cult setting. But I’m so blessed to find a church that is so full of Holy Spirit!! I along with you wish everyone could experience Holy Spirit like I have!! Blessings!!
I love going to church, that's where I get that encouragement and where I am around christian people.
Good morning, Amen to everything you said! Every time you have done Arise I have heard love, truth, and light with grace. Congratulations on the baby and have a blessed week!
Beautifully said Amber. I’m still on my journey to get closer to God and make him my priority. I have to say being here with you every Sunday morning definitely guides me. I definitely feel a difference when i go to church every Sunday opposed to not going. Congratulations on baby Smith I’m so excited for y’all . It definitely shows how good God is . Happy Sunday everyone 😊. Much love to you Amber ❤️🙏🏻🦋
Darlin, there will be people who want to make every single thing about race, negativity and hatefulness. There's nothing anyone can do to change those kinds of attitudes. Just pray for the negative people and give that situation to God. However, you handled that situation with grace and kindness. Embrace the happiness you and your family have with this new life you're about to welcome into the world. We are sending you and yours love and happy thoughts from the mountains of Tennessee!
I also cry when I go to church Amber. It seems that when my mother died I got closer with God and I could be closer! I just Love my Sunday with you🙏💓
Good morning, good prayer. Week doesn’t seem right unless we go to church on Sunday.
Not telling the truth is not Love!!! I thank God for your boldness. You are such a Blessing 😊
Love your family,all the trials you guys have been through you look at everything through victory instead of defeat,
So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Such a beautiful Christian family. I joined my church 3 years ago and was real and truly saved then. My church family is so wonderful and I love them all. It helps as a Christian woman to have the fellowship.
Love to see the kids starting young with corporate prayer. Stay close to GOD. Those who give negative comments don't have the spirit dwelling in them and most are lost. Political correctness is evil. Its the opposite of the Bible.
Prefect response. Never apologize for someone else’s self inflicted offenses.
She was projecting her own insecurities and judgments onto you.
So happy for y'all. I'm finally here when it's posted!
I grew up in a First Christian Church and thought my family was Christian but it was Sunday only but not lived at home. I was back and forth much of my 20s and came to know Jesus when I had my first daughter. I guess I understood what the Bible taught more then because I was responsible for her life and spiritual teaching so she would return back to Him. I have gone to several church and was very involved. I have never been fully included, mostly because I had special needs kids and didn't have help with them as a single mom with a fulltime job as a critical care nurse. We have been hurt by church people and it has affected my girls most from how they've seen us treated. I am now disabled but still hope to find a real church one day soon. God bless you Amber for all you and Granger do. I often watch your church online. Blessings to y'all and am so happy for your pregnancy.
Amber I wanted you to know that London's prayer touched my heart. I was having a bad day & to hear her pray it made a positive effect on my day. Thank you London for your prayer. Keep Jesus in your heart & don't forget the positive effect that your parents have on your life. Amber just another word of encouragement. You & Granger keep raising your kids right because you are doing a great job. I will keep you , Granger, London & Lincoln in my prayers. God bless you!!
I think it was 2 mths. ago I felt you were pregnant !! This is the best news I have heard in awhile.May you have a great pregnancy! Love!
Going to church is very important too me. I’m glad here in Utah our church’s have been open since last May. I haven’t been saved until my 50’s. I was raised Mormon and I always knew something was missing and I found it being a Christian. I haven’t been one for long only 2 1/2 years. So I’m new to all of this. God bless you and your family ❤️
Congrats so excited for you guys arise with amber are such a great way to start your morning thanks for all you do
I feel more connected with God and Jesus when I'm in nature alone. Hiking, walking, fishing, kayaking, sitting by a lake and reading, I feel God's love. God bless you all!
I feel guilty but still don't feel the need to go to a church. Not a people person and that will be my problem to bare. I appreciate listening to you on Sunday morning though.
You can pray any where god listens to all
I'm the same way. Not a people person.
Jesus went out to guide his sheep. We can worship anywhere.
This is exactly me also. I do feel really guilty, but I am also have social anxiety really bad. It prevents me from doing things socially, unless I know everyone that I will be around. I know God sees that, but is it just an excuse? I don’t know.
It is biblical to meet in community of believers
Amber, church is so very important. Fellowship and listening to God’s message keeps us strong in our faith.
Amber, I wish I’d heard this earlier❣️. Last week, my daughter flooded me with comments like that because our views differ!!! I was in pain, then she broke my heart!!! She’s bitter and wants to blame me. She makes me feel like I’m a fool, then I break and say something irrational. She focuses on that and later I apologize for days❣️ Yesterday she tried again and when she wasn’t breaking me, she changed the conversation to try make me feel guilty about my past. I am a different woman, now that I am TRULY SAVED❣️
God bless you, Melissa Johnson. I am so sorry to hear about the pain your daughter caused you. Take heart, the Bible says: "Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them." (Ps. 119:165). Please understand that people who hurt do so because they are hurting. I also have to believe that your daughter is ranting on you because you are, to her, a solid rock, and she knows that your love from her cannot be removed. You, in your patience and love, are representing Jesus to her. Continue to love her. She needs more of Jesus. May God continue to strengthen you in this situation.
Praise God for the Blessing of a new child. I found out a month ago that our daughter was pregnant with our first grandchild. We were only able to have the one child, that we were not supposed to be able to have and she was a true blessing. My comments last week were only intended to affirm and agree with you concerning eternal security. It is a doctrine that many will not accept. Prayers for you, Granger, and the kids. God bless you all and the new life He is giving to you.
Congratulations on the pregnancy yes this is Judy I saw you on channel 12 when you was talkin about the pregnancy so I know what you did it was a wonderful thing and I'm glad you talked about the church we all need to find a good church and sometimes I wish we had more revivals that's when I really like revivals when you go to church every day they have a good preacher but you don't see revivals around here no more and that is so sad that's how people become saved so much as going to a Revival thank you Amber
First of all I really enjoy the Arise videos. Now to make it clear, I was a regular church goer until 2 years ago when my health prevents me from getting out. God did call us as Believers to assemble. But make no mistake. The church is just a building. WE ARE THE CHURCH. That’s why the word of God tells us to GO OUT and spread the GOOD NEWS.
Thank you for your boldness in telling and standing up for your faith.
I find it sad when people interject race into something that has nothing to do with race. I often wonder how they can walk around with this agenda in their head all day. I only see your videos as your journey in faith and you just sharing that. Not unlike a pastor in church sharing the word. I'm a CEO church goer to the church I've been attending since I was a child. The current pastors we have I just don't connect with, so I seek out other places online that I can join in, especially with most of it being live feeds during covid. I love your Arise for that purpose!
So happy to hear you standup for the gospel of Christ, it’s amazing how many people call themselves Christians but change the gospel to fit the world. We have to be in the world not of the world. We have enjoyed watching the Smith family.
Jeff , Sandy and Bandit.
I miss going to church. My lack of mobility is keeping home.
oh my dear London, thank you for praying this morning. You're an amazing young lady.
People just like to get under other skin. She was just probably trying to get to you. Ignore the hate. And just pray for them
I wasn’t grown up in church as much as I would’ve liked but I recently have felt the strongest pull to Jesus. I have always believed in God and I was also a CEO. I believed church wasn’t necessary as well but the last two weeks I have been going to church. I’ve went to two different ones trying to find my home and i think i may have found it! I truly believe you have felt lead me here and awaken God in my heart.
