I'm a relatively new Christian and I know I'm saved, but I struggle with the concept of walking after the Spirit, becase all I've ever walked after has been the flesh. It's not as easy as simply deciding to walk after the Spirit and the Flesh happily concedes and shuts up. To me is a struggle, not because I'm worried about my salvation, I know I can't take back my soul from Christ even if I tried, I'm His, but because I hate what my stupid flesh wants to do all the time. Thank God for Jesus my Lord and Savior!
@@davidfreeman9838 No you can’t! If you have died, and your life is hid in Christ in God, when Christ, Who is your life appears, you also shall appear with Him in glory. Likewise, reckon yourself dead! Don’t let sin reign… you’re freed from its power! Look to Jesus, don’t yield to to the powerlessness… stay with the strength… yield to the one Who Rose from the Dead in a NEW body that can never die again!
Don’t listen to anyone that says you can lose your salvation. From my current understanding, salvation works thusly: if you fall away from the faith, and stay away, you were never truly saved. If you are in the faith, and stumble, confess your sins to God, as according to 1 John 5. Sinless perfection is impossible, as also stated in 1 John 5. Anyone who says they have no sin is a liar, again, 1 John 5. In fact I’d just recommend giving 1 John 5 a read 😂. Also Romans 7 is a great illustration of the battle you’re describing. Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
He already did: When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. (Matthew 10:23) For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ (Matthew 16: 27, 28) Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.“ (Matthew 24: 30+34) We live in satans short season where he is deceiving the whole earth. His deceptions include history, as well as calendars and maps. Everything is a lie in our current world. Gog and Magog war is next, then fire from heaven followed by judgement day.
@@jesussaves3248 Brother, your doctrine is absurdly terrible, just being honest I recommend you try reading the Bible for yourself, without any TH-camr or anyone else giving you any influence, just you and Jesus I promise you, Jesus is going to return in person to Rapture his children to Heaven, then the Great Tribulation period will begin, then the Millennial Reign of Christ on earth will take place, THEN comes the White Throne Judgement and the destruction of this world by Fire. We are called to rightly divide the Word of Truth, please pray for discernment my Friend, ask God for wisdom and for the Holy Spirit to guide you into truth God bless
@@maranatha-lord-jesus6742 Much love bro, you rapture fanatics say this stuff for decades. I was once one of you guys. I know what i know, Jesus already returned and reigned for a thousand years, what satan sells us as "the dark ages", where all those monumental cathedrals, palaces and castles have been built. You can stay ignorant if that is your thing but know that you go against Gods word: He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. Proverbs 18:13 God bless.
@@jesussaves3248 I have heard this "matter" repeatedly brother, this is not the first time I have met someone that thinks the way you do I study scripture 5 hours a day or more, and I know what God's Word says about the end times You are making the mistake of literally saying that Jesus's Millennial Reign happened during the worst time in human history lol Both the OT and NT scriptures make it clear that the Millennial Reign of Christ will be the best time in human history, and Jesus himself will live on the earth and rule with his saints That has not happened yet my Friend, I promise you that If the Millennial Reign occurred during the dark ages as you insist, then that means the world should have been destroyed around 500 years ago my Friend Read the Book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus will literally rule and reign on the earth for 1000 in his physical glorified body. And he will cast Satan into the Pit during that time, so there will be no deception or evil during that time, everyone will live to be like 900 hundred years old like Adam and Eve did The Millennial reign will be the best time in human history, not the worst, and it will end with the destruction of this world Do some research on dispensations, and on the 7-day timeline of God my Friend You have been lied to God bless
@@maranatha-lord-jesus6742 Oh boy, you base your view of "the dark ages" on secular history books about peasants who were throwing their feces on the street and died in their early 30s because of bad hygiene. Those same people built the hagia sophia? They built the taj mahal? They built the cologne cathedral? Why do you have trust that secular history books are accurate? Isnt there a chance they are used for deception? Plus in my initial comment i quoted king Jesus in 3 different scriptures that clearly state that he would return to the same generation he was speaking to: "this generation will not pass until all things (his return included) will be fulfilled" ... "there are some of you standing here who will not taste death until they see me return in my kingdom" ... Sure go ahead and twist the words of Jesus so you can stay in your heavily invested heresy, but know that truth knocked on your door today and you shunned it.
Oh Lord Jesus I needed this message! Hallelujah! I'm dead to sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. Yeah!!!!! Bless this preacher and all who see this message. In Jesus' Name. Amen!
AMEN! Not taught in churches at all. Everyone thinks born again just means "saved". Then they try hard to live good "Christian" Life, which is like being under the law again.
@@ownleywunlord9638 we only have the Hope of being saved (Roman’s 5:3-5). There are no such thing as “repeat after me” prayers in scripture that make you saved. You may not realize it because I also did not as I was raised in the evangelical church. There are no alter calls, no accepting Jesus into your heart. No Christmas or Christmas trees, no Easter where Jesus died on Good Friday and was resurrected on Easter Sunday. None of that is biblical. Jesus said the sign of the Son of man would be the sign of Jonah, that as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for 3 days and 3 nights so the Son of Man would be in the earth. There are not 3 days and 3 nights between Friday and Sunday. Jesus did not teach the sabbath being on Sunday. The list is long of the man made doctrines and traditions that teach something different than scripture. All these traditions are pagan traditions adopted by the Roman church to appease its constituents when Constantine made “Christianity” the state religion. Completely corrupting it by blending it with Paganism. You can find some of these pagan things we were warned not to take part in but Christian’s today completely ignore. Jeremiah 10:1-4.
@@mik3ymomo Jeremiah 10 isn't talking about christmas trees. Verse 3 is explaining how a trained woodworker or craftsman uses an axe to shape the wood into an idol. They would then worship the idol that was created from that wood. Read the rest of the chapter. Christians don't worship the christmas tree during christmas bro.
I can honestly say, since I have been fully put my trust in CHRIST it's been a better walk it makes me want to sin less I'll never be perfect but everyday Is easier
oh Michael, my friend, my dear friend, I pray for you. I'm so scared to lose a man of God like you from this earth. You are like no other. You have been blessed like no other. You are such a rare gift that we have been able to enjoy and learn from. You have given of yourself and taught us to bring us higher, as a holy sacrifice of your own self. I love you so much. You've given so much of yourself. You're such a beautiful example of Love. Please hear my words and please be well. I pray for you with tears in my eyes my brother. God bless you, and my prayers and my heart are with you.
Thank you for saying what I've been constructing in my mind to say. I appreciate the time and effort he has put forth in the Word. I have learned a lifetime in a short time. Thank you Father for speaking through this wise man.
Read Watchman Nee "The Normal Christian Life". This is the stuff the Apostles taught to brand new converts in the infant churches that were started. (It is not taught at ALL in churches today) Peter, John and Paul all talk about passing from death to life, being a NEW Creation, and the new birth...being BORN AGAIN of the Father's seed! Nee was a Chinese teacher who started house churches in China. He was eventually arrested and put in prison until he died in 1972.
In the early 2000s, I was in a control room in Courtland AL, 12hrs a day. For weeks, I listened to your Romans series many times via the computer on my desk. I'd go outside and get caught up and return to the message. Thanks for posting this online over the years! I recommend it heartily.
Amen Jesus did it all. The blood of Jesus is what saves his blood made atonement for are sin. Redemption was complete from Adam to the cross. John said here comes the lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world. Thank-you Jesus
Amen It is Finished! Jesus did it all. John 3:16: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen
@@apostlecurtislouisakascmfoy That great!! but I will stand firm on John 3:16 and this on also John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. Shalom
And that's why Christian Seminary and University pools across America and Canada have published studies reporting that 50-60 percent of Christian leadership, cross denominations, are self admitted pornography addicts, whilst leading their parishes, churches, children's Sunday schools etc. That's why most Christians love saying they keep "falling off the wagon" living continually with sin, all the while they quote Paul. I truly hope people will come back to Messiah's teachings, not man's doctrines.
@@WayOfHaQodesh and..... I bet that you will say that you do not sin at all! Right! If you do think that you are holier than thou, I suggest you read 1 John 1:8 KJV ( If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”) By the way can you POST the POOLS and give the LINK or the web page to those so called studies! thanks
@@apostlecurtislouisakascmfoy Seems to me that something is seriously wrong when one thinks they are saved by their filthy rags WORKS! The THIEF on the cross did NOT obey anything!!! He was SAVED by BELIEF!!! The PUBLICAN was Justified knowing he was sinful, yet the WORKS based Pharisee was NOT Justified!! Some actually think that what Jesus did at the cross was not enough so they feel they have to help out in their salvation!
That last message was a copy of a txt i sent to a friend who is struggling with drugs and beating himself up over it. He prays but cannot here God. I sent him that message after watching this video. Thank you sir.
I love listening to your sermons! I'm at a cross roads right now I have been struggling with some areas in my life but at the same time I feel the Holy Spirit is asking me to uproot myself from my current church and move to another church, my flesh is fighting me every step of the way not wanting to leave old familiar faces and comfort but i also feel like that's all i've been getting from my current church I have stopped growing and they ask me to serve at every event not allowing me to just rest and sit at a service without having to go over their curriculum for the area they've asked me to serve throughout the sermon. I feel like I'm no longer serving God but that I'm serving a church
@BananaR I don't like Robert Beaker due to him not being biblically sound or accurate. There's alot of inconsistencies with his preaching and he will twist things to make it fit his teachings
@@davidpugh8772 I disagree. Breaker taught me dispensations which made some of the Bible verses make sense for the first time which where in opposition to Paul's grace Gospel given him by JESUS CHRIST GOD ALMIGHTY for us gentiles today. I can hardly believe I've never been taught that from any other pastor and Breaker proved that the early church believed the same way, just goes to show prophecy being fulfilled where modern teachings are full of corruption/fables/doctrines of demons.
Thanks for the word brother. I laughed after hearing that child in the background start screaming and you told them that you have a book they need to read. I have 3 boys with the oldest one being 5 the next one is 2 and our youngest is 10 months old. We bought your child training book and we are applying it to our lives as we speak.
hi brother /preacher mike i enjoy your wisdom and your skills welding.. painting .. ect and Bible teaching simplified. thanks for providing an outlet and voice for Jesus our Lord and Savior keep up the good work, a east tn neighbor
A person is dead to sin because of complete forgiveness. God will not hold your sins against you ever., so now there is no punishment and since there is no punishment, there is no law for the child of God!
Self effort versus trusting what God has promised. David said, Create in me a clean heart. Jesus changes hearts to those that sow into the Spirit, not into man's effort(flesh) outside of the assurance in what Jesus has accomplished in us.
This year 2021 I accept Jesus as savior. And I have wholeheartedly accepted Jesus as my Savior. have not been able to walk since birth. my birthday 20/11/1997
The problem is, as humans, we will sin from birth until our deaths, and we will never stop that. All we can do is be saved, have a repentant mind, be perfected in Jesus' Love, and do our best to not sin. That's it. We will sin regardless of our faith, maturity, or love for the Lord. We are humans, and we will act as humans until we are dead or raptured. Anybody that claims to not sin are hypocrites.
And what is the scripture reference for that? It sounds like you’re just giving yourself an excuse ahead of time so that when you do send you’re able to say: well I couldn’t help it. The Word of God says: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.“ Don’t confuse the truth that we will always be learning with a falsehood that says we will never be able to live without choosing to sin.
@@samlee5016 That's easy. 1 John 1:8-10 KJV If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Paul in Romans describes his struggle with sin and that it's no longerr him that sins but sin leaving in his corpse of a flesh that is a slave to sin but our inner man/new creature in Christ is a slave to righteousness!!! Praise The LORD!!! HE has fixed everything!!! Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
I was on meth for 4 and a half years. I was using it when you first reached out to me. God was doing great things in me while I sought him and continued using. I've been free of it going on two months and have no desire for that which draws me away from Him. I still smoke cigarettes, but those are losing their flavor as well. Just keep seeking. Let God deal with the sin. That's his business, not your's. Your business is believing that Christ died on a cross for your sins. Your business is giving thanks for that. Your business is praising God for everything, including your struggles to which he provides grace. You handle your business and let God handle His.
I understand Grace and the message that we do nothing for salvation but during the sanctification process the Holy Spirit according to Isaiah 11 gives us wisdom understanding and knowledge and this brings desire to do the works set before us. We present ourselves and take a step of faith, we fight the good fight, We discipline our bodies and members according to Hebrews 12.:11 , Thus in our actions given through wisdom of the spirit we run we dont just sit back... there is certain effort from our side to walk in those good works. Good works are avail but the choice remains in us that we respond to that. This msg is dangerous for the pagan as it presents the fact that we DO NOTHING.... No we present our bodies in light of His mercy. We preach the msg of Grace but we also preach the response to the message.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way. It is impossible to lose salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV. Once Saved Always Saved is true.
Thank you so much for this message man of God. I have been living in a state of fear and doubt regarding my salvation. I have allowed Satan to trick me into believing that I need to change my behaviors in order to be found acceptable to the Father and Jesus. I now know after listening to this message from Michael Pearl, that God accepts me as His child only because, I believe Him and in His Son, who took upon Himself all of my sin and nailed it to a cross, along with my old man and is now dead according to the Father in Heaven. I don't have to struggle against the flesh and worry about messing up anymore, because God's grace through Jesus Christ gives me the power to choose to walk according to the Spirit instead of the flesh. I'm ALIVE in Christ, and DEAD to sin! Just as Abraham believed God, and God credited to him as righteousness, so God credits my belief and trust in Jesus as righteousness. Thank you Father in Heaven and thank you Jesus for saving all of us who believe on You!
The CURE for sin: I used to struggle with sins of the flesh while being an active Christian, I remember being sincere for Christ and out of nowhere my flesh wanted to sin in the flesh. I had no hope of not sinning But THEN God showed me THE OTHER SIDE of Himself God showed me that He had had enough and that THE LAKE OF ETERNAL FIRE is the destiny of the unrepentant and disobedient Once God shows you the ETERNAL LAKE OF FIRE as justice for your sins, you will never struggle with major sins again: instead you will live your life walking holy and the Holy Spirit will help you perfect obedience in other areas of your life but the days of willful rebellion against GOD will be a thing of the past. Ecclesiastic 12 and 13 let us hear the conclusion of the matter fear God and keep his commandments for that is the whole duty of man.
I agree with you but that's not what this guy's preaching. I know people are going to be in a world of hurt that have not turned away from a life of sin.
@19:00 "Let no man spoil you through ..." that's something I think a lot of Christians need to hear nowadays. I praise the Lord that He has helped me keep the Faith despite countless attacks from people all over the internet who claim to be wise, but even if I don't have an answer to some of the things they say (because I don't know what the answer is exactly), I shake my head and walk away, refusing to believe some of the ridiculous things people say. The Scriptures say that a saved Christian knows the Voice of their Shepard, and another they will not follow (which is why I stopped listening to several preachers online, they just... 'feel' wrong). The Scriptures also say that there are many who profess to be wise, and are fools, and many who the world calls fools who are wise. So, if people call me an idiot, or stupid, etc... I know I'm on the right path when it comes to my Faith.
Let us not crudity Christ afresh with disbelief and ignorance of who we are in Christ Jesus and not be The Sons of the Kingdom in exile! Priests and Royalty seated in the heavenly places now! Today
Sounds like the key here is focus. There's this highway in a northern state, I think in Montana or North Dakota. A desolate highway. It gets very icy. Very interesting statistics when it came to road accidents. People would lose control of their vehicles and slide off the road. A high number would hit the power line poles despite the vast open spaces between them. Why? Because people were so worried about hitting these poles that they would still do so despite their efforts to avoid them.
The Amish story was interesting. He was trying to clean his cup by his own will. That's why he could not have the joy and assurance of the Lord in his heart. Martin Luther also understood this truth. The fatuous idea that a person can be holy by himself denies God the pleasure of saving sinners. God must therefore first take the sledge-hammer of the Law in His fists and smash the beast of self-righteousness and its brood of self-confidence, self wisdom, and self-help. When the conscience has been thoroughly frightened by the Law it welcomes the Gospel of grace with its message of a Savior Who came-not to break the bruised reed nor to quench the smoking flax-but to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, and to grant forgiveness of sins to all the captives. ---Martin Luther
Fact. Jesus startled them all, and left them all guilty when He told them they were adulterers simply by looking, and murders simply by harboring a grudge without due cause or hate without a cause. He told them pluck out their eyes, chop off their hands, yet none of them did this... not one of the Apostles did this. Because when he got to the rich man and said "sell it all, and follow" the Apostles were dismayed and asked "Lord, who then may enter in?" He told them plainly, YOU cannot do this, I will do this FOR YOU.
Believe, reckon and yield........ there’s a word for that, “bologna “. We are transformed by renewing our mind.” Wisdom is different from knowledge .Knowledge is knowing right from wrong but wisdom is doing what’s right and not doing what’s wrong. Do any of you lack wisdom let him ASK of GOD who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him but let him ask in faith with no doubting because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea tossed to and fro let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord, He is double minded and unstable in all his ways..... Faith, without works is DEAD. We can ASK in FAITH. Faith comes by hearing. We can choose to Hear the LIVING WORDS OF GOD! To whom much has been given, much will be expected.
Romans 7. Apostle Paul was referring to coveting which is one of the 10 commandments and we also are dead to the 10 commandments. We trust in Jesus to not sin not follow the 10 commandments !
This is a great truth. Yet when I share it with other Christian it’s like I started a war. Why do you think we have all these classes and groups ? I simply say : well if I could sanctify myself why would I need Christ ? I’m not Christ. It belongs to Him not me. And the huffing and puffing begins. Thank you
I know!!!! We have had this same experience!!! People are scared to believe and scared to be responsible for not believing. And people don’t want to give up control.
Retirement plan. Jeremiah 31:34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins. 1 Pet 4:8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Luke 7:47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” 1 John 3:10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
I wish i could go to God and be relieved from sin and feel like i am able to be counted worthy . I cant seem to find it i need someone better than me to petition on my behave
Genesis 4:7 NKJV If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” John 8:11 NKJV She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” Follow Jesus and only Jesus...
Psalm 65:2 O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. Psalm 145:18-19 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 86:9 All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. Psalm 102:17 he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. Psalm 72:12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. Psalm 22:24 For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. John 12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself. Isaiah 66:23 From new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, declares the Lord. Hosea 11:4 I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them. John 6:32-33 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. John 6:48 I am the bread of life.
Thank you. Your sermons have really helped get me back on the correct path, after having gone to Bible College. It is so straight-forward. Praise God. The more time I spend with God in His Word, the more obvious it all becomes. But this message came at quite a key moment for us. Thank you again.
I am saved 4 years Im battling to stop smoking cigarettes every day many times iv given my struggle to God but I'm so weak in this please anyone who has having or had this help me in how to. I am worried this will be my ends
You have to stop by faith, I was a smoker for almost 20 years and when Jesus saved me I knew that I had to stop and by faith I did, I through them away and for 4 days I faced temptation, I found one under my bed the following day, and the following day I found one in my draw and then day after that I was a friend who smoked all day but I never gave in to temptation, God gave me the grace I needed and I was determined and kept my mind on Jesus the whole time and it was from that day that he completely delivered me and set me free and I’ve never smoked since in almost 5 years!! And so you can do it, you just need to set your mind on Christ, get rid of them and as you focus on him and resist temptation and not give in under no circumstance he will do the rest!
Hebrews 4:12-16 KJV 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. If you truly want to be free. Just cry out to Jesus for help. He will give you the strength to overcome the temptation. He promises us this. I'm praying for your victory in His awesome name.
I have the same problem too. I was addicted to gambling and one day I told myself this is it, the desire fell away, now I could care less about the casino. With my games on my phone, I would spend so much time on my games, but, one day I said this is it and I stopped, it wasn't by my works but the LORD'S blessing that it was easy to walk away from those things, because I truly gave it to Him. But for some reason smoking 🚬, I'm not willing to let go freely and depend on Jesus, my flesh is going nuts. So now I'm going to start saying every time I want a cigarette or smoke a cigarette, I'm going to say, my flesh is dead to these cigarettes , and anything else that's flesh. I think for me after saying it and starting to believe it things will change. GOD always shows us a way. We just have to keep wanting to follow Christ , and I believe he's going to give us strength to overcome if we stand on his word. Just thank Him and say Thank you for your Grace and Mercy already LORD. We will overcome this, also, He still Loves us as long as we believe in Him. Let's just pray for each other and not beat ourselves up. God understands us, that's why Jesus Christ died for us a long time ago because He knows. I pray you get peace of mind ( myself too ) to overcome while we are giving this struggle to the Lord and I pray for others as well, because everybody doesn't just stop cold turkey. So stay believing in and on the LORD trusting his promises with joy. 🙏💪💞💯
@@jacqulinmaxwell5509 I did stop by Gods grace cold turkey and you can too, saying God understands is an attempt to justify your sin and make yourself feel better which is deceptive, he would never justify your sin, and while God is patient with us he has commanded us to live holy as he is holy and he will deal with us about our sin, just like the gambling God gave you the tools and so now use that same faith to stop smoking!!

I agree but this pastor to a certain extent is not preaching that. But this not turning away from sin is going to be a heartbreaker when people find out they were supposed to. Making it sound like we're going to live a sinful life and we're still going to be covered under the blood and in darkness ain't going to. I guarantee you can watch any of my videos and exactly what you said I talked about all the time.
But for anyone to sit here and say that you're going to be covered under the blood while walking in darkness ain't going to work it's just not there's a reason why we were told to come out of the darkness just like no one was ever going to receive the Holy Spirit if they weren't willing to obey what God had to say.
@@jeffouellette9946 Everyone of us is a sinner. Which is why Paul lamented about it. "O wretched man that i am" it's pretty detailed and clear. We serve God with the heart and the mind, the flesh is sinful, and you're stuck in this sinful body until you die.
But there are works commanded by Jesus Christ himself. Luke 13:24 New Living Translation “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.
The New Living Translation is not the true word of God, it is an abomination. Use the King James Version, friend! The KJV says “Strive.” Not “work hard.” Two different meanings.
@@misha-elministries5246 You can work all you want, if it is works, it is no more grace, and you are fallen from grace if you want to become a debter to do the law, also you better get crackin on the 614 levitical laws, and never miss a step, for one instant. GOOD LUCK! I'm going to lean on Christ.
@@EQOAnostalgia I am sorry , you may have misunderstood me about works . Jesus gave very clear instructions on the works you must do to become a follower of His . We all know that a man cannot be justified by obeying the Law but through faith in Jesus Christs blood only . Let me show you the works that Jesus Christ commanded . Luke 14:33 So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) all that he has cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26 CSB “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes, and even his own life-he cannot be my disciple.
Jesus paid it all, we can offer him nothing, but our faith in HIS cross work, only BELIEVE the ONLY gospel that saves today which is 1 Cor15 vs1-4 KJV Bible
3rd or 4 the time listen to a direction that is of Holy Spirit,an the fact of holy Bible intentions for humanity y to enjoy an comfort each other and with God almighty gift of helping understand rejection of flesh an enjoyable time to walk in the spirit

1 John 3 : 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Romans 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
"Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm." (1Timothy 1:5-7) "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings; perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."

If anybody wants to know that there's a place in Christ where it's easy to not wilfully sin, then hit me up and I'll run after Jesus with you. But the place to start is in the secret place and asking our Father which can give you what you ask for, to make you sinless!!!
CHRIST JESUS died for and purged the world of ALL sin debt...and is not imputing sins and tresspasses unto men...when did he do this for you,33AD...what year were you born? Its already done for you,do you believe it.
I understand this message just have one more doubt please help me or maybe there’s another video about it: 1 Peter 4:1-2 New King James Version Christ’s Example to Be Followed 4 Therefore, since Christ suffered [a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
Every time someone preaches grace through faith... there they are... mean, bitter, joy stealing LEGALISTS. Like clockwork. Gatekeepers, backbiters, heaving stones in front of their "bretheren" i say "brethern" because no brother or sister of mine is sinless. Any who say they are without sin is a LIAR and the Spirit of God is not in that person.
Christ Jesus said do not remember my birth but remember my death do you celebrate Christmas do you bring a tree 🌲 into your house like a heathen also do you celebrate Easter in stead of pass over
I'm a relatively new Christian and I know I'm saved, but I struggle with the concept of walking after the Spirit, becase all I've ever walked after has been the flesh. It's not as easy as simply deciding to walk after the Spirit and the Flesh happily concedes and shuts up. To me is a struggle, not because I'm worried about my salvation, I know I can't take back my soul from Christ even if I tried, I'm His, but because I hate what my stupid flesh wants to do all the time. Thank God for Jesus my Lord and Savior!
Amen
You can take back your soul at any time. That’s how free will works. The choice is always yours.
@@davidfreeman9838 No you can’t! If you have died, and your life is hid in Christ in God, when Christ, Who is your life appears, you also shall appear with Him in glory.
Likewise, reckon yourself dead! Don’t let sin reign… you’re freed from its power! Look to Jesus, don’t yield to to the powerlessness… stay with the strength… yield to the one Who Rose from the Dead in a NEW body that can never die again!
Don’t listen to anyone that says you can lose your salvation. From my current understanding, salvation works thusly: if you fall away from the faith, and stay away, you were never truly saved. If you are in the faith, and stumble, confess your sins to God, as according to 1 John 5. Sinless perfection is impossible, as also stated in 1 John 5. Anyone who says they have no sin is a liar, again, 1 John 5. In fact I’d just recommend giving 1 John 5 a read 😂. Also Romans 7 is a great illustration of the battle you’re describing. Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

He already did:
When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. (Matthew 10:23)
For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ (Matthew 16: 27, 28)
Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.“ (Matthew 24: 30+34)

You are making the mistake of literally saying that Jesus's Millennial Reign happened during the worst time in human history lol
Both the OT and NT scriptures make it clear that the Millennial Reign of Christ will be the best time in human history, and Jesus himself will live on the earth and rule with his saints
That has not happened yet my Friend, I promise you that
If the Millennial Reign occurred during the dark ages as you insist, then that means the world should have been destroyed around 500 years ago my Friend
Read the Book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus will literally rule and reign on the earth for 1000 in his physical glorified body.
And he will cast Satan into the Pit during that time, so there will be no deception or evil during that time, everyone will live to be like 900 hundred years old like Adam and Eve did
The Millennial reign will be the best time in human history, not the worst, and it will end with the destruction of this world
Do some research on dispensations, and on the 7-day timeline of God my Friend
You have been lied to

Isnt there a chance they are used for deception?
Plus in my initial comment i quoted king Jesus in 3 different scriptures that clearly state that he would return to the same generation he was speaking to: "this generation will not pass until all things (his return included) will be fulfilled" ... "there are some of you standing here who will not taste death until they see me return in my kingdom" ...

@@ownleywunlord9638 we only have the Hope of being saved (Roman’s 5:3-5). There are no such thing as “repeat after me” prayers in scripture that make you saved. You may not realize it because I also did not as I was raised in the evangelical church. There are no alter calls, no accepting Jesus into your heart. No Christmas or Christmas trees, no Easter where Jesus died on Good Friday and was resurrected on Easter Sunday. None of that is biblical. Jesus said the sign of the Son of man would be the sign of Jonah, that as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for 3 days and 3 nights so the Son of Man would be in the earth. There are not 3 days and 3 nights between Friday and Sunday. Jesus did not teach the sabbath being on Sunday.
The list is long of the man made doctrines and traditions that teach something different than scripture. All these traditions are pagan traditions adopted by the Roman church to appease its constituents when Constantine made “Christianity” the state religion. Completely corrupting it by blending it with Paganism. You can find some of these pagan things we were warned not to take part in but Christian’s today completely ignore. Jeremiah 10:1-4.

It is of faith, NOT of works.

How exactly can one sin no more? There's no way! That is the exact reason we need Jesus. Are we to be perfect, or are we perfected in His glory?
The problem is, as humans, we will sin from birth until our deaths, and we will never stop that. All we can do is be saved, have a repentant mind, be perfected in Jesus' Love, and do our best to not sin. That's it. We will sin regardless of our faith, maturity, or love for the Lord. We are humans, and we will act as humans until we are dead or raptured. Anybody that claims to not sin are hypocrites.
And what is the scripture reference for that? It sounds like you’re just giving yourself an excuse ahead of time so that when you do send you’re able to say: well I couldn’t help it. The Word of God says: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.“
Don’t confuse the truth that we will always be learning with a falsehood that says we will never be able to live without choosing to sin.
@@samlee5016 That's easy. 1 John 1:8-10 KJV
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Paul in Romans describes his struggle with sin and that it's no longerr him that sins but sin leaving in his corpse of a flesh that is a slave to sin but our inner man/new creature in Christ is a slave to righteousness!!! Praise The LORD!!! HE has fixed everything!!!
Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Amen! Praise The LORD!!!
I was on meth for 4 and a half years. I was using it when you first reached out to me. God was doing great things in me while I sought him and continued using. I've been free of it going on two months and have no desire for that which draws me away from Him. I still smoke cigarettes, but those are losing their flavor as well. Just keep seeking. Let God deal with the sin. That's his business, not your's. Your business is believing that Christ died on a cross for your sins. Your business is giving thanks for that. Your business is praising God for everything, including your struggles to which he provides grace. You handle your business and let God handle His.
Good word.
Thanks for your teaching
I understand Grace and the message that we do nothing for salvation but during the sanctification process the Holy Spirit according to Isaiah 11 gives us wisdom understanding and knowledge and this brings desire to do the works set before us. We present ourselves and take a step of faith, we fight the good fight, We discipline our bodies and members according to Hebrews 12.:11 , Thus in our actions given through wisdom of the spirit we run we dont just sit back... there is certain effort from our side to walk in those good works. Good works are avail but the choice remains in us that we respond to that. This msg is dangerous for the pagan as it presents the fact that we DO NOTHING.... No we present our bodies in light of His mercy. We preach the msg of Grace but we also preach the response to the message.
Amen! Слава Богу! 🙌🙏
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way. It is impossible to lose salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV. Once Saved Always Saved is true.
Thank you!
"So from now on none of us will sin" har har
You okay?
Thank you so much for this message man of God. I have been living in a state of fear and doubt regarding my salvation. I have allowed Satan to trick me into believing that I need to change my behaviors in order to be found acceptable to the Father and Jesus. I now know after listening to this message from Michael Pearl, that God accepts me as His child only because, I believe Him and in His Son, who took upon Himself all of my sin and nailed it to a cross, along with my old man and is now dead according to the Father in Heaven. I don't have to struggle against the flesh and worry about messing up anymore, because God's grace through Jesus Christ gives me the power to choose to walk according to the Spirit instead of the flesh. I'm ALIVE in Christ, and DEAD to sin! Just as Abraham believed God, and God credited to him as righteousness, so God credits my belief and trust in Jesus as righteousness. Thank you Father in Heaven and thank you Jesus for saving all of us who believe on You!
The CURE for sin:
I used to struggle with sins of the flesh while being an active Christian, I remember being sincere for Christ and out of nowhere my flesh wanted to sin in the flesh.
I had no hope of not sinning
But THEN God showed me THE OTHER SIDE of Himself
God showed me that He had had enough and that THE LAKE OF ETERNAL FIRE is the destiny of the unrepentant and disobedient
Once God shows you the ETERNAL LAKE OF FIRE as justice for your sins, you will never struggle with major sins again: instead you will live your life walking holy and the Holy Spirit will help you perfect obedience in other areas of your life but the days of willful rebellion against GOD will be a thing of the past.
Ecclesiastic 12 and 13 let us hear the conclusion of the matter fear God and keep his commandments for that is the whole duty of man.
I agree with you but that's not what this guy's preaching. I know people are going to be in a world of hurt that have not turned away from a life of sin.

Read Romans chapter 3 and 4 in the light of Ephesians 2:8,9.
What about the "minor' sins?
@19:00 "Let no man spoil you through ..." that's something I think a lot of Christians need to hear nowadays. I praise the Lord that He has helped me keep the Faith despite countless attacks from people all over the internet who claim to be wise, but even if I don't have an answer to some of the things they say (because I don't know what the answer is exactly), I shake my head and walk away, refusing to believe some of the ridiculous things people say. The Scriptures say that a saved Christian knows the Voice of their Shepard, and another they will not follow (which is why I stopped listening to several preachers online, they just... 'feel' wrong). The Scriptures also say that there are many who profess to be wise, and are fools, and many who the world calls fools who are wise. So, if people call me an idiot, or stupid, etc... I know I'm on the right path when it comes to my Faith.
Let us not crudity Christ afresh with disbelief and ignorance of who we are in Christ Jesus and not be The Sons of the Kingdom in exile! Priests and Royalty seated in the heavenly places now! Today
Thanks!
Sounds like the key here is focus.
There's this highway in a northern state, I think in Montana or North Dakota. A desolate highway. It gets very icy. Very interesting statistics when it came to road accidents. People would lose control of their vehicles and slide off the road. A high number would hit the power line poles despite the vast open spaces between them. Why?
Because people were so worried about hitting these poles that they would still do so despite their efforts to avoid them.
The Amish story was interesting. He was trying to clean his cup by his own will. That's why he could not have the joy and assurance of the Lord in his heart. Martin Luther also understood this truth.
The fatuous idea that a person can be holy by himself denies God the pleasure of saving sinners. God must therefore first take the sledge-hammer of the Law in His fists and smash the beast of self-righteousness and its brood of self-confidence, self wisdom, and self-help. When the conscience has been thoroughly frightened by the Law it welcomes the Gospel of grace with its message of a Savior Who came-not to break the bruised reed nor to quench the smoking flax-but to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, and to grant forgiveness of sins to all the captives.
---Martin Luther
Fact. Jesus startled them all, and left them all guilty when He told them they were adulterers simply by looking, and murders simply by harboring a grudge without due cause or hate without a cause.
He told them pluck out their eyes, chop off their hands, yet none of them did this... not one of the Apostles did this. Because when he got to the rich man and said "sell it all, and follow" the Apostles were dismayed and asked "Lord, who then may enter in?" He told them plainly, YOU cannot do this, I will do this FOR YOU.
Believe, reckon and yield........ there’s a word for that, “bologna “. We are transformed by renewing our mind.” Wisdom is different from knowledge .Knowledge is knowing right from wrong but wisdom is doing what’s right and not doing what’s wrong. Do any of you lack wisdom let him ASK of GOD who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him but let him ask in faith with no doubting because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea tossed to and fro let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord, He is double minded and unstable in all his ways..... Faith, without works is DEAD. We can ASK in FAITH. Faith comes by hearing. We can choose to Hear the LIVING WORDS OF GOD! To whom much has been given, much will be expected.
Sin no more? We are human. To completely stop sinning is impossible.
Romans 7. Apostle Paul was referring to coveting which is one of the 10 commandments and we also are dead to the 10 commandments. We trust in Jesus to not sin not follow the 10 commandments !
Amen
This is a great truth. Yet when I share it with other Christian it’s like I started a war. Why do you think we have all these classes and groups ? I simply say : well if I could sanctify myself why would I need Christ ? I’m not Christ. It belongs to Him not me. And the huffing and puffing begins. Thank you
I know!!!! We have had this same experience!!! People are scared to believe and scared to be responsible for not believing. And people don’t want to give up control.

You right
I wish i could go to God and be relieved from sin and feel like i am able to be counted worthy . I cant seem to find it i need someone better than me to petition on my behave
I believe that the word made manifest in Jesus is still the word of God and commandments from him old or new is honorable to obey

Thank you. Your sermons have really helped get me back on the correct path, after having gone to Bible College. It is so straight-forward. Praise God. The more time I spend with God in His Word, the more obvious it all becomes. But this message came at quite a key moment for us. Thank you again.
THE LORDS ECONOMY IS THE WAY
in the wise words of Bill Wurrz,
“how bout I do anyways”
I am saved 4 years Im battling to stop smoking cigarettes every day many times iv given my struggle to God but I'm so weak in this please anyone who has having or had this help me in how to. I am worried this will be my ends
You have to stop by faith, I was a smoker for almost 20 years and when Jesus saved me I knew that I had to stop and by faith I did, I through them away and for 4 days I faced temptation, I found one under my bed the following day, and the following day I found one in my draw and then day after that I was a friend who smoked all day but I never gave in to temptation, God gave me the grace I needed and I was determined and kept my mind on Jesus the whole time and it was from that day that he completely delivered me and set me free and I’ve never smoked since in almost 5 years!! And so you can do it, you just need to set your mind on Christ, get rid of them and as you focus on him and resist temptation and not give in under no circumstance he will do the rest!
Hebrews 4:12-16 KJV
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
If you truly want to be free. Just cry out to Jesus for help. He will give you the strength to overcome the temptation. He promises us this. I'm praying for your victory in His awesome name.
I have the same problem too. I was addicted to gambling and one day I told myself this is it, the desire fell away, now I could care less about the casino. With my games on my phone, I would spend so much time on my games, but, one day I said this is it and I stopped, it wasn't by my works but the LORD'S blessing that it was easy to walk away from those things, because I truly gave it to Him. But for some reason smoking 🚬, I'm not willing to let go freely and depend on Jesus, my flesh is going nuts. So now I'm going to start saying every time I want a cigarette or smoke a cigarette, I'm going to say, my flesh is dead to these cigarettes , and anything else that's flesh. I think for me after saying it and starting to believe it things will change. GOD always shows us a way. We just have to keep wanting to follow Christ , and I believe he's going to give us strength to overcome if we stand on his word. Just thank Him and say Thank you for your Grace and Mercy already LORD.
We will overcome this, also, He still Loves us as long as we believe in Him. Let's just pray for each other and not beat ourselves up. God understands us, that's why Jesus Christ died for us a long time ago because He knows. I pray you get peace of mind ( myself too ) to overcome while we are giving this struggle to the Lord and I pray for others as well, because everybody doesn't just stop cold turkey. So stay believing in and on the LORD trusting his promises with joy. 🙏💪💞💯
@@jacqulinmaxwell5509 I did stop by Gods grace cold turkey and you can too, saying God understands is an attempt to justify your sin and make yourself feel better which is deceptive, he would never justify your sin, and while God is patient with us he has commanded us to live holy as he is holy and he will deal with us about our sin, just like the gambling God gave you the tools and so now use that same faith to stop smoking!!
Yes, thank you 🙏💪💞💯

I agree but this pastor to a certain extent is not preaching that. But this not turning away from sin is going to be a heartbreaker when people find out they were supposed to. Making it sound like we're going to live a sinful life and we're still going to be covered under the blood and in darkness ain't going to. I guarantee you can watch any of my videos and exactly what you said I talked about all the time.
But for anyone to sit here and say that you're going to be covered under the blood while walking in darkness ain't going to work it's just not there's a reason why we were told to come out of the darkness just like no one was ever going to receive the Holy Spirit if they weren't willing to obey what God had to say.
@@jeffouellette9946 Everyone of us is a sinner. Which is why Paul lamented about it. "O wretched man that i am" it's pretty detailed and clear.

"If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings; perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."
