I am willing to wait on you Lord Jesus Christ I am willing Lord. I trust in you Jesus. Come quickly to my rescue and deliver me and bless me Lord Jesus. Amen ✝️🙏🏼
Jesus lives yes true because He is God almighty in control. But that also means that we should be on His time table and act on His words . If u look at the children of israel they wandered through the desert 40 years because they werent being obeidiant. and also God told the israelites that if they would be diligent in obeying Gods voice that He would quickly subdue there enemies. so that just tells me that the more obediant i am to obey God the sooner He can accompish things in my life but if we want to not be diligent it may take many years...
Michael Quintana Yes that is very true. If we want to receive Gods promises and his favor we must be obedient, committed and sincere in repentance. Or not we will just keep going round and round till we finally surrender fully. Sometimes God doesn't answer prayers bc people want to live in their sinful lifestyles and want to receive the favor of God. It doesn't work that way God says it in his word seek the kingdom of God first and all these other things shall be added on to you. We have to make God our priority and not only think of how God can benefit us. You're on the right track be blessed. :)
Seeking the Lord everyday. When I read the Bible I received the Holy Spirit. I would even put my hand on the Bible my hand would turn red and hot when I touched the Bible. I received a gift from God the Father. I hear scripture all day long. When something happens I will remember the scripture that helps overcome and even in small circumstances. Like when even I throw leftover food out, I remember imediately, Jesus saying," Let no food go to wast!" When I meet certain people who I think are nice, I remember scripture saying, "beware of wolves who come in sheep's clothing." Even when I think may be I've made God mad and I feel ashamed or a situation of that nature, I remember Jesus saying" He who comes to me, I will in no means cast away." When I get mad or I feel taken advantage of, I remember Jesus saying, " Let those who want to be chief among you, be the servant. And he that wants to be chief among you be a slave. Because I came not to be served but to serve, and give My life for a ransom for Many." My mind dwells on the Lord from morning until night. I really enjoyed your video. I don't go to church at all. I just seek God and research the Bible nearly everyday. When I tried going to church, I found that most preachers treat people like they are ignorant. They will talk about one scripture for an hour. Well at that rate you might get the Book of Mathew read in 20 years. Plus the people to me don't even want to talk about God once they leave the church. They act like they don't know Jesus unless they're in the church for one hour on Sundays. Great video! Nice to see the truth spoken. God Bless You through our Lord JesusChrist.
Great message. I felt the Holy Spirit moving. You're absolutely right. I believe another problem people struggle with is learning to sit still for long periods of time, or at least, I noticed that with me. I'll have to do some binding and rebuking before praying, and asking the Lord to grant me the patience to sit still longer. God bless you!!❤💕
Transcript: Most believers do not know what it means to wait on the Lord for an answer if they have prayed and asked Him for something. The reason why they do not know how to wait on the Lord and to expect Him to answer their prayer is because they do not really believe that He is alive, that He hears their prayers and that He will answer. They do not really believe. The apostle James wrote in James chapter 1 verse 5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him, But we must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." If we do not go to Jesus in prayer believing and expecting that our prayer will be answered, we will receive nothing. We also read in Hebrews chapter 11:6, "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." Many people say that they have prayed and they asked Jesus for the Holy Spirit and they have not received it. They ask, how long must they wait after they have prayed. We read what Jesus said to His disciples in Acts chapter 1:4 "for He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which ," He said "you heard from Me; for John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Verse 12 "then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. When they had entered the city they went into the upper room where they were staying; that is Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas the son of James. These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the woman, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.' They were continually devoting themselves to prayer, waiting expectantly praying, they did not go away. They waited, they waited expectantly and then we read in acts chapter 22 verse 1, "When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, and suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." They were expectantly waiting and praying and then they received the gift that God had promised the infilling with the Holy Spirit. They were not just having fellowship, sitting around having coffee, having a good time like they would have today at church, just being with Christian friends watching television drinking coffee, eating doughnuts, having a good time, a good old party. No, they came together you pray to wait on the Lord and then they received what He promised. If we go to God we must go in faith, we must believe that He IS, we must have our focus on Him and we must pray with a serious heart or else we will receive nothing. When I first realized that Jesus Christ wants to speak to us, wants to speak to me, He said:"My sheep listen to My voice and they follow Me," I said Lord, speak to me, I want to hear Your voice, and I set my mind on hearing from God. I went alone and I prayed. I said lord I don't want to eat, I don't want to drink, I don't want to read the Bible, I don't want to hear from anybody else, I want to you from You and I waited on Him. I prayed and He answered me, He spoke to me. If we want to hear from Jesus we have to believe that He exists; we have to go to Him in faith expectantly and wait on Him. If we pray and we ask Him for something we must not give up, we must go with a mind of receiving, with a mind of believing and we must stay focused on him expectantly and not give up, because if we do not believe, if we are not willing to wait on Him until he gives what we asked, if we are not patiently waiting on Him expectantly; we will receive nothing! People ask how long do you have to pray? How long do you have to wait? You have to wait UNTIL you receive. You have to expectantly wait until He answers your prayer, until he gives you what you asked for. But if you give up then you will receive nothing, if you are not serious you will receive nothing. Do you really believe and are you willing to wait for the answer? If you do, then go to Jesus and He will answer you. If you want guidance and wisdom, pray and ask, and wait until He answers. If you want the baptism in the Holy Spirit, go and pray and wait on Him. Don't give up, He will answer your prayer and your joy will be full. He rewards those who diligently seek Him. May Jesus bless you.
I'm a new Christian so I think God understands that I don't know Him as well as a mature Christian. It's amazing that a mustard seed of faith can move mountains, so the Holy Spirit lets me always have at least that 1% of faith and my prayers still get answered. They're all prayers to strengthen my faith and my relationship with Him too, so they're definitely not selfish prayers or not in His will.
Church of the Coffee n Donuts failed me in a big way. Thank God because now I truly believe and Jesus speaks to me daily and opened the doors for me to bring his words into the local jail to lost inmates.Amen.
Amen brother Jan. "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" - Luke 11:5-13
Thank you so much. I need to wait I have giving up on my husband and I felt Jesus is not helping me I took of my ring and was asking my be he is not the one but I love my husband and I have prayed non stop for almost 7 months. I need to wait and trust he will give me a victory over my enemies my God bless you I need Jesus more and more everyday my family are Muslims and they make me feel like Jesus in not God I need to stand up for Jesus and stop doubting him. Plz pray for me to continue in my search to have Jesus and his holy spirit I love him and I wanted so badly more than anything I am desperate for his loss God bless you thank you
I have never been baptized, at least not by man. I was baptized by the holy spirit himself in one of my darkest hours as i will later explain to you later on in this comment. I come from a strong believing family in God the Father, Son and Holy spirit. When we were younger, we always attended sunday school and church every sunday, (until i found out once i was grown that the sabbath is actually friday sundown to Saturday sundown),and took turns having the reverend over after services to our homes. I also saw no matter what astronomical tragedy befell our family, the good Lord always brought us out way ahead every single time. Now we weren't fanatically outwardly religious, but our belief in GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT was and still is unwavering. However, i say all this to say, as i got older, i kind of drifted away from him for awhile, but never completely. I Grew up, and kinda strayed away from the straight and narrow path from time to time (but he never strayed away from me). No it was nothing illegal or vile, as my upbringing would have no part of that. Just typical partying, hanging out etc. Well i was extremely close to my parents. My mom and dad were my first best friends! When we learned my dad was not long for this world i believed that if i could find a church to pray in God would hear my plea and answer my prayer. But out of all 3 churches i went to they refused me access. It was at night during the Christmas Season and Christmas music was playing everywhere. It all seemed so surreal given the music and the plight of my dad's situation. I returned home, made a make-shift alter on top of my fireplace mantel and prayed my guts out. My heart was heavy as a water balloon and my tears soaked my face until it swelled twice it's normal size. After I'd poured out my heart-rendering prayer to my Lord, i proceeded to the bathroom feeling as weak as water, to freshen up and wipe the tears from my face. As i stood facing the mirror and pondering what life would be like without my dad, i closed my eyes, and that's when i heard it! The Lords voice speaking to me unmistakably, undeniably and un questionably saying "DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT"!! from that moment to this, that I'm writing this comment everything has been alright. Don't misunderstand me please, I've undergone worse trials and tribulations than that of losing my dad, but he's prepared me in each trial not to fear the unknown and to go forth with confidence for he will be with me , and to look forward to coming out better than i went in, and i have! You see it can't be my will, or your will or even their will, but it must be "HIS WILL BE DONE", for only he can see ahead and knows whats best for us. The Holy spirit teaches me and leads me in everything i do. I still make plenty mistakes, but he is patient and understanding! I judge no one, for that duty belongs to the most high and to him alone! He knows the heart and minds of each and every one of us. So Be truthful, genuine, and pure in heart when you come to him and you will hear him too!! God Bless you all! PS Brothers and sisters, when you get a feeling that something feels wrong or is not right, or anything you have to do in secret, or in darkness, it's the HOLY SPIRIT leading you to into the light! There is no such thing as sixth sense, coincidence, luck, third eye etc. Only good and evil! Choose your side, for there is no in-between!
@@MG-qm8if reply to dreamflower0987: No i haven't. However, i and the lord speak daily and nightly. I'm guided by his wisdom, discernment and his will. And I've never been more at peace. I still go through my share of valleys but I'm more at peace with my inner self and not bothered as much! Its not that i refuse to be baptized, thats exactly what i do want more than anything else. Just couldn't take all the hoops these so-called clergymen wants you to jump through in order to get baptized! Jesus baptized crowds of sinners first timers who just came to listen on day (1) who were not of the church, who are they to judge whose fit or not to be baptized?? But thanks for inquiring anyway. God Bless!
An answered prayer doesn't always mean getting what you want does it? What if God doesn't want us to have what we are praying for? I pray for things and I can tell God is listening and then not get what I pray about. Other times I pray and I feel like He isn't there. I have a lot of work I still have to do. I'll take any solid advice but I know I need to pray a lot.
Thank you so much I will pray and wait in faith for the lord to move. God bless you and thank you for all your messages they have helped me more than you'll ever know
Как ОЖИДАТЬ Иисуса и ПОЛУЧАТЬ. Большинство верующих не знают, что значит ожидать ответа от Господа, если они помолились и спросили Его о чём-то. Причина, почему они не знают, как дожидаться Господа и ждать Его, чтобы ответить на их молитву, состоит в том, что они, на самом деле, не верят, что Он - живой, что Он слышит их молитвы, и что Он ответит. Они, на самом деле, не верят. Апостол Иаков пишет в Иакова, 1:5-8: "Если же у кого из вас недостаёт мудрости, да просит у Бога, дающего всем просто и без упрёков, - и дастся ему. Но да просит с верою, нимало не сомневаясь, потому что сомневающийся подобен морской волне, ветром поднимаемой и развеваемой. Да не думает такой человек получить что-нибудь от Господа. Человек с двоящимися мыслями не твёрд во всех путях своих". Если мы не идём к Иисусу в молитве, веря и ожидая, что на нашу молитву будет ответ, мы не получим ничего. Мы также читаем в Евреям 11:6: "А без веры невозможно угодить Богу; ибо тот, кто приходит к Богу, должен верить, что Он есть, и что Он вознаграждает тех, что ищет Его" (англ. пер.). Многие люди говорят, что они молились и просили Иисуса о Святом Духе, и они не получили Его. Они спрашивают, как долго они должны ожидать ответа после своей молитвы. Мы читаем, что Иисус сказал Своим ученикам в Деяниях, 1:4-5: "Он повелел им: не отлучайтесь из Иерусалима, но ждите обещанного от Отца, о чём вы слышали от Меня, ибо Иоанн крестил водою, а вы, через несколько дней после этого, будете крещены Духом Святым". Стихи 12-14: "Тогда они возвратились в Иерусалим с горы, называемой Елеон, которая находится близ Иерусалима, в расстоянии субботнего пути. И, придя, взошли в горницу, где и пребывали, Пётр и Иаков, Иоанн и Андрей, Филипп и Фома, Варфоломей и Матфей, Иаков Алфеев и Симон Зилот, и Иуда, брат Иакова. Все они единодушно пребывали в молитве и молении, с некоторыми жёнами и Мариею, Материю Иисуса, и с братьями Его". Они постоянно пребывали в молитве, выжидающе ожидая, молились, они не уходили. Они ожидали, ожидали выжидающе, а потом мы читаем в Деяниях 2:1-4: "При наступлении дня Пятидесятницы все они были единодушно вместе. И внезапно сделался шум с неба, как бы от несущегося сильного ветра, и наполнил весь дом, где они находились. И явились им разделяющиеся языки, как бы огненные, и почили по одному на каждом из них. И исполнились все Духа Святого, и начали говорить на иных языках, как Дух давал им провещевать". Они ожидающе (выжидательно) ожидали и молились, а потом получили дар, который Бог обещал, наполнение Святым Духом. Они не просто имели общение, сидя кружком, попивая кофе, проводя хорошо время, как сейчас его проводят в церквях, просто находясь с друзьями-христианами, просматривая телевизор, попивая кофе, кушая пончики, проводя хорошо время в старой доброй вечеринке. Нет, они собрались вместе, чтобы молиться, ожидать Господа, а потом они получили то, что Он обещал. Если мы приходим к Богу, мы должны приходить с верой, мы должны верить, что Он ЕСТЬ, мы должны держать своё внимание на Нём, и мы должны молиться с серьёзным сердцем, иначе мы не получим ничего. Когда я впервые понял, что Иисус Христос хочет говорить ко мне, хочет говорить со мной, Он сказал: "Мои овцы слушают Мой голос, и они следуют за Мной", я сказал: "Господь, говори ко мне, я хочу слышать Твой голос, и я устанавливаю свой ум (занимаю себя) на слышании от Бога". Я пошёл один, и я молился. Я сказал: "Господь, я не хочу кушать, я не хочу пить, я не хочу читать Библию, я не хочу слышать от кого-либо ещё, я хочу слышать от Тебя", и я ожидал Его. Я молился, и Он ответил мне, Он говорил ко мне. Если мы хотим слышать от Иисуса, мы должны верить, что Он существует, мы должны идти к Нему в вере, выжидающе, и ожидать Его. Если мы молимся и спрашиваем Его о чём-то, мы не должны сдаваться, мы не должны идти с умом, чтобы получить, с умом, веруя, и мы должны оставаться сосредоточенными на Нём, выжидательно, и не сдаваться, потому что если мы не верим, если мы не готовы ожидать Его, пока Он не даст то, о чём мы просили, если мы терпеливо не ожидаем Его, мы не получим ничего! Люди спрашивают, как долго ты должен молиться, как долго ты должен ожидать. Ты должен ждать, ПОКА ты не получишь. Ты должен выжидательно ожидать, пока Он не ответит на твою молитву, пока Он не даст тебе то, о чём ты просил. Но если ты сдашься, ты не получишь ничего, если ты - не серьёзен, ты не получишь ничего. Действительно ли ты веришь и готов ожидать ответа? Если - да, тогда иди к Иисусу, и Он ответит тебе. Если ты хочешь водительства и мудрости, молись и проси, и ожидай, пока Он ответит. Если ты хочешь крещения в Святом Духе, иди и молись, и ожидай Его. Не сдавайся, Он ответит на твою молитву, и твоя радость будет полной. Он вознаграждает тех, кто усердно (серьёзно) ищет Его. Да благословит тебя Иисус.
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Jas 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They repented, were baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost, Acts 2:38! Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead and walking in the newness of life. That's what Acts 2:38 is. It harmonizes with Matthew 28:19, and all the other salvation scriptures. We can't pick and choose which scriptures we like or dislike. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOTH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT for a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures, and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOO long to be WRONG! St, John 5:39, search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS, and the other is a WORK OF FAITH If I buy you a cake and tell you to come to get it, and you refuse to, then you won't have the cake even though it's been fully paid for. Christ paid the full price for our salvation. If we refuse to come to him and obey Acts 2:38 as they did, how shall we receive his salvation? Noah believed or had FAITH, BUT THEN WORKED OR OBEYED TO BUILD THE ARK TO BE SAVED. LOT believed or had FAITH, BUT THEN OBEYED AND LEFT SODOM. This is why Jesus said, He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. We must believe and obey Acts 2:38. All scriptures have to harmonize together..
The reason i don't get baptized is #1- man wants you to jump through too many hoops and make much outward appearances for the sake of religious ceremonies, #2- It is written that anyone who will profess with his heart and voice aloud his belief of The great "I Am" that his son made flesh, was born into this world, died for our sins, and rose from death in order that we might have everlasting life, and that they may be saved from the second death, and #3- he himself the "Saviour" spoke to me and sent the Holy spirit himself to dwell within me in 12/1988, and hes never left my side since then! So you see my friend, i know whose i am, and i know I'm saved. Sure i still mistakes now and again, however, i notice that they are not as many or as frequent and i do feel unclean but i do beg his forgiveness as soon as they are comitted, and he understandsthat we being carnal will err now and again! Thats why he forgives us and asks of us to do the of our fellow man! You see, the Holy Spirit guides me daily, and watches over me and my family when we slumber. And no man can ever convince me I'm not saved when i heard it from the almighty himself that all will be well. Anyone can profess to believe with their mouths, however, its the heart and the mind that the Lord sees!
Dear friend, our case is with Jesus, not with men. If we still feel the need to justify ourselves before men, then we are not seeking the approval of Jesus. You will give account to Jesus for refusing to obey Him and be baptized.
If you *believed* Jesus, would you not *do what he says?* I received the Holy Spirit before being baptised, too. But I still got baptised when I realized that that was what God asked for. Does not God know best? He doesn't have to threaten me with hell for everything, we should just trust him.
You need to ask the Lord before you marry anyone. Trust me. Some people are married and do not even know it, to try to be with them is adultery. God does not carry about the certificates of priests and government officials. They have their rules, and God has His. But if you ask him, he will tell you. But don't just worry about what is permissable, ask Him for what is best.
I am willing to wait on you Lord Jesus Christ I am willing Lord. I trust in you Jesus. Come quickly to my rescue and deliver me and bless me Lord Jesus. Amen ✝️🙏🏼
Jesus is very real, and he hears sincere prayers. God only answers prayers in his timing not when we want him to.
Jesus lives yes true because He is God almighty in control. But that also means that we should be on His time table and act on His words . If u look at the children of israel they wandered through the desert 40 years because they werent being obeidiant. and also God told the israelites that if they would be diligent in obeying Gods voice that He would quickly subdue there enemies. so that just tells me that the more obediant i am to obey God the sooner He can accompish things in my life but if we want to not be diligent it may take many years...
Michael Quintana Yes that is very true. If we want to receive Gods promises and his favor we must be obedient, committed and sincere in repentance. Or not we will just keep going round and round till we finally surrender fully. Sometimes God doesn't answer prayers bc people want to live in their sinful lifestyles and want to receive the favor of God. It doesn't work that way God says it in his word seek the kingdom of God first and all these other things shall be added on to you. We have to make God our priority and not only think of how God can benefit us. You're on the right track be blessed. :)
thank u .Be an stay blessed also.

I just seek God and research the Bible nearly everyday. When I tried going to church, I found that most preachers treat people like they are ignorant. They will talk about one scripture for an hour. Well at that rate you might get the Book of Mathew read in 20 years. Plus the people to me don't even want to talk about God once they leave the church. They act like they don't know Jesus unless they're in the church for one hour on Sundays. Great video! Nice to see the truth spoken. God Bless You through our Lord JesusChrist.
We Must ENJOY JESUS In the meantime. AMEN
"How much more will your Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
I'm still asking. I will receive!!!
Amalgamaite
I? I am waiting for the Holy Spirit and asking.
Aquarian Christianity have you received?
Great message. I felt the Holy Spirit moving. You're absolutely right. I believe another problem people struggle with is learning to sit still for long periods of time, or at least, I noticed that with me. I'll have to do some binding and rebuking before praying, and asking the Lord to grant me the patience to sit still longer. God bless you!!❤💕

Most believers do not know
what it means to wait on the Lord for an answer if they have prayed
and asked Him for something. The reason why they do not know how to
wait on the Lord and to expect Him to answer their prayer is because
they do not really believe that He is alive, that He hears their
prayers and that He will answer. They do not really believe.
The apostle James wrote in
James chapter 1 verse 5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let
him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and
it will be given to him, But we must ask in faith without any
doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven
and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will
receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable
in all his ways." If we do not go to Jesus in prayer believing
and expecting that our prayer will be answered, we will receive
nothing. We also read in Hebrews chapter 11:6, "And without
faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must
believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
Many people say that they have prayed and they asked Jesus for the
Holy Spirit and they have not received it. They ask, how long must
they wait after they have prayed. We read what Jesus said to His
disciples in Acts chapter 1:4 "for He commanded them not to
leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which
," He said "you heard from Me; for John baptized with water
but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from
now." Verse 12 "then they returned to Jerusalem from the
mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey
away. When they had entered the city they went into the upper room
where they were staying; that is Peter and John and James and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus,
Simon the Zealot, Judas the son of James. These all with one mind
were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the woman,
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.'
They were continually
devoting themselves to prayer, waiting expectantly praying, they did
not go away. They waited, they waited expectantly and then we read in
acts chapter 22 verse 1, "When the day of Pentecost had come,
they were all together in one place, and suddenly there came from
heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole
house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as
of fire distributing themselves and they rested on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with
other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." They were
expectantly waiting and praying and then they received the gift that
God had promised the infilling with the Holy Spirit. They were not
just having fellowship, sitting around having coffee, having a good
time like they would have today at church, just being with Christian
friends watching television drinking coffee, eating doughnuts, having
a good time, a good old party. No, they came together you pray to
wait on the Lord and then they received what He promised.
If we go to God we must go
in faith, we must believe that He IS, we must have our focus on Him
and we must pray with a serious heart or else we will receive
nothing. When I first realized that Jesus Christ wants to speak to
us, wants to speak to me, He said:"My sheep listen to My voice
and they follow Me," I said Lord, speak to me, I want to hear
Your voice, and I set my mind on hearing from God. I went alone and I
prayed. I said lord I don't want to eat, I don't want to drink, I
don't want to read the Bible, I don't want to hear from anybody else,
I want to you from You and I waited on Him. I prayed and He answered
me, He spoke to me.
If we want to hear from
Jesus we have to believe that He exists; we have to go to Him in
faith expectantly and wait on Him. If we pray and we ask Him for
something we must not give up, we must go with a mind of receiving,
with a mind of believing and we must stay focused on him expectantly
and not give up, because if we do not believe, if we are not willing
to wait on Him until he gives what we asked, if we are not patiently
waiting on Him expectantly; we will receive nothing!
People ask how long do you
have to pray? How long do you have to wait? You have to wait UNTIL
you receive. You have to expectantly wait until He answers your
prayer, until he gives you what you asked for. But if you give up
then you will receive nothing, if you are not serious you will
receive nothing.
Do you really believe and
are you willing to wait for the answer? If you do, then go to Jesus
and He will answer you. If you want guidance and wisdom, pray and
ask, and wait until He answers. If you want the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, go and pray and wait on Him. Don't give up, He will answer
your prayer and your joy will be full. He rewards those who
diligently seek Him.
May Jesus bless you.
thank you Brother Jesus Bless you praying for you
finalcall07 we dont need to wait on lord 4 the lord will show us the way
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Amen.
Amen Thank you ... I love being ALONE WITH HIM .....HE DOES SPEAK HE SURE DELIVERS .
The best reponse I've come across in terms of how to become Holy Spirit baptized.
I'm a new Christian so I think God understands that I don't know Him as well as a mature Christian. It's amazing that a mustard seed of faith can move mountains, so the Holy Spirit lets me always have at least that 1% of faith and my prayers still get answered. They're all prayers to strengthen my faith and my relationship with Him too, so they're definitely not selfish prayers or not in His will.
Church of the Coffee n Donuts failed me in a big way. Thank God because now I truly believe and Jesus speaks to me daily and opened the doors for me to bring his words into the local jail to lost inmates.Amen.
Thank you, may Jesus Christ bless you always.
thank you for choosing Jesus Christ because your words have confirmed things every morning. the holy spirit is the gift
Amen brother Jan. "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
- Luke 11:5-13
Amen! I am asking for wisdom, among other things. I've been asking for things for years.
Thank you so much. I need to wait I have giving up on my husband and I felt Jesus is not helping me I took of my ring and was asking my be he is not the one but I love my husband and I have prayed non stop for almost 7 months.

Plz pray for me to continue in my search to have Jesus and his holy spirit I love him and I wanted so badly more than anything I am desperate for his loss God bless you thank you

God bless you brother, your videos are so helpful , thank god for his faithful and TRUE Followers ! Praise Jesus.
I have never been baptized, at least not by man. I was baptized by the holy spirit himself in one of my darkest hours as i will later explain to you later on in this comment. I come from a strong believing family in God the Father, Son and Holy spirit. When we were younger, we always attended sunday school and church every sunday, (until i found out once i was grown that the sabbath is actually friday sundown to Saturday sundown),and took turns having the reverend over after services to our homes. I also saw no matter what astronomical tragedy befell our family, the good Lord always brought us out way ahead every single time. Now we weren't fanatically outwardly religious, but our belief in GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT was and still is unwavering. However, i say all this to say, as i got older, i kind of drifted away from him for awhile, but never completely. I Grew up, and kinda strayed away from the straight and narrow path from time to time (but he never strayed away from me). No it was nothing illegal or vile, as my upbringing would have no part of that. Just typical partying, hanging out etc. Well i was extremely close to my parents. My mom and dad were my first best friends! When we learned my dad was not long for this world i believed that if i could find a church to pray in God would hear my plea and answer my prayer. But out of all 3 churches i went to they refused me access. It was at night during the Christmas Season and Christmas music was playing everywhere. It all seemed so surreal given the music and the plight of my dad's situation. I returned home, made a make-shift alter on top of my fireplace mantel and prayed my guts out. My heart was heavy as a water balloon and my tears soaked my face until it swelled twice it's normal size. After I'd poured out my heart-rendering prayer to my Lord, i proceeded to the bathroom feeling as weak as water, to freshen up and wipe the tears from my face. As i stood facing the mirror and pondering what life would be like without my dad, i closed my eyes, and that's when i heard it! The Lords voice speaking to me unmistakably, undeniably and un questionably saying "DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT"!! from that moment to this, that I'm writing this comment everything has been alright. Don't misunderstand me please, I've undergone worse trials and tribulations than that of losing my dad, but he's prepared me in each trial not to fear the unknown and to go forth with confidence for he will be with me , and to look forward to coming out better than i went in, and i have! You see it can't be my will, or your will or even their will, but it must be "HIS WILL BE DONE", for only he can see ahead and knows whats best for us. The Holy spirit teaches me and leads me in everything i do. I still make plenty mistakes, but he is patient and understanding! I judge no one, for that duty belongs to the most high and to him alone! He knows the heart and minds of each and every one of us. So Be truthful, genuine, and pure in heart when you come to him and you will hear him too!! God Bless you all!
PS
Brothers and sisters, when you get a feeling that something feels wrong or is not right, or anything you have to do in secret, or in darkness, it's the HOLY SPIRIT leading you to into the light! There is no such thing as sixth sense, coincidence, luck, third eye etc. Only good and evil! Choose your side, for there is no in-between!
So why do you refuse to obey Jesus and be baptized in water dear friend?
Did you get baptised?
@@MG-qm8if reply to dreamflower0987:
No i haven't. However, i and the lord speak daily and nightly. I'm guided by his wisdom, discernment and his will. And I've never been more at peace. I still go through my share of valleys but I'm more at peace with my inner self and not bothered as much! Its not that i refuse to be baptized, thats exactly what i do want more than anything else. Just couldn't take all the hoops these so-called clergymen wants you to jump through in order to get baptized! Jesus baptized crowds of sinners first timers who just came to listen on day (1) who were not of the church, who are they to judge whose fit or not to be baptized??
But thanks for inquiring anyway. God Bless!
An answered prayer doesn't always mean getting what you want does it? What if God doesn't want us to have what we are praying for? I pray for things and I can tell God is listening and then not get what I pray about. Other times I pray and I feel like He isn't there. I have a lot of work I still have to do. I'll take any solid advice but I know I need to pray a lot.
Thank you so much I will pray and wait in faith for the lord to move. God bless you and thank you for all your messages they have helped me more than you'll ever know
I am 100% pure love,Fear, Control & hatred are my greatest enemies.
Jesus wants love and he will get it.
Love each other equally.
God bless Jan
Amen!!! God bless you!!
Thank you i will learn to be patient
Learn to *trust* in the Lord.
This is just what i needed. Thank you. Be blessed.
Great message
thanks for this message
could you teach me? I need help with my journey to the lord. I need guidance. I need truth
Dear friend, I made this page to help you: www.finalcall07.com/p/salvation.html
May Jesus bless you.
.......Thank you Jan......✝
God bless you brother 🙏♥🐑
Please Teach me how to begin and end prayer
Reyn Chia you can begin by saying Father in Heaven, then speak to him and when you want to finish just say "in Jesus name Amen.”
Amen 🙏🏾
God bless you Jan.
God is 100% pure love and that created everything, there is nothing to fear my friend. What did Jesus want???
Как ОЖИДАТЬ Иисуса и ПОЛУЧАТЬ.
Большинство верующих не знают, что значит ожидать ответа от Господа, если они помолились и спросили Его о чём-то. Причина, почему они не знают, как дожидаться Господа и ждать Его, чтобы ответить на их молитву, состоит в том, что они, на самом деле, не верят, что Он - живой, что Он слышит их молитвы, и что Он ответит. Они, на самом деле, не верят.
Апостол Иаков пишет в Иакова, 1:5-8: "Если же у кого из вас недостаёт мудрости, да просит у Бога, дающего всем просто и без упрёков, - и дастся ему. Но да просит с верою, нимало не сомневаясь, потому что сомневающийся подобен морской волне, ветром поднимаемой и развеваемой. Да не думает такой человек получить что-нибудь от Господа. Человек с двоящимися мыслями не твёрд во всех путях своих". Если мы не идём к Иисусу в молитве, веря и ожидая, что на нашу молитву будет ответ, мы не получим ничего. Мы также читаем в Евреям 11:6: "А без веры невозможно угодить Богу; ибо тот, кто приходит к Богу, должен верить, что Он есть, и что Он вознаграждает тех, что ищет Его" (англ. пер.).
Многие люди говорят, что они молились и просили Иисуса о Святом Духе, и они не получили Его. Они спрашивают, как долго они должны ожидать ответа после своей молитвы.
Мы читаем, что Иисус сказал Своим ученикам в Деяниях, 1:4-5: "Он повелел им: не отлучайтесь из Иерусалима, но ждите обещанного от Отца, о чём вы слышали от Меня, ибо Иоанн крестил водою, а вы, через несколько дней после этого, будете крещены Духом Святым". Стихи 12-14: "Тогда они возвратились в Иерусалим с горы, называемой Елеон, которая находится близ Иерусалима, в расстоянии субботнего пути. И, придя, взошли в горницу, где и пребывали, Пётр и Иаков, Иоанн и Андрей, Филипп и Фома, Варфоломей и Матфей, Иаков Алфеев и Симон Зилот, и Иуда, брат Иакова. Все они единодушно пребывали в молитве и молении, с некоторыми жёнами и Мариею, Материю Иисуса, и с братьями Его". Они постоянно пребывали в молитве, выжидающе ожидая, молились, они не уходили. Они ожидали, ожидали выжидающе, а потом мы читаем в Деяниях 2:1-4: "При наступлении дня Пятидесятницы все они были единодушно вместе. И внезапно сделался шум с неба, как бы от несущегося сильного ветра, и наполнил весь дом, где они находились. И явились им разделяющиеся языки, как бы огненные, и почили по одному на каждом из них. И исполнились все Духа Святого, и начали говорить на иных языках, как Дух давал им провещевать". Они ожидающе (выжидательно) ожидали и молились, а потом получили дар, который Бог обещал, наполнение Святым Духом. Они не просто имели общение, сидя кружком, попивая кофе, проводя хорошо время, как сейчас его проводят в церквях, просто находясь с друзьями-христианами, просматривая телевизор, попивая кофе, кушая пончики, проводя хорошо время в старой доброй вечеринке. Нет, они собрались вместе, чтобы молиться, ожидать Господа, а потом они получили то, что Он обещал.
Если мы приходим к Богу, мы должны приходить с верой, мы должны верить, что Он ЕСТЬ, мы должны держать своё внимание на Нём, и мы должны молиться с серьёзным сердцем, иначе мы не получим ничего. Когда я впервые понял, что Иисус Христос хочет говорить ко мне, хочет говорить со мной, Он сказал: "Мои овцы слушают Мой голос, и они следуют за Мной", я сказал: "Господь, говори ко мне, я хочу слышать Твой голос, и я устанавливаю свой ум (занимаю себя) на слышании от Бога". Я пошёл один, и я молился. Я сказал: "Господь, я не хочу кушать, я не хочу пить, я не хочу читать Библию, я не хочу слышать от кого-либо ещё, я хочу слышать от Тебя", и я ожидал Его. Я молился, и Он ответил мне, Он говорил ко мне.
Если мы хотим слышать от Иисуса, мы должны верить, что Он существует, мы должны идти к Нему в вере, выжидающе, и ожидать Его. Если мы молимся и спрашиваем Его о чём-то, мы не должны сдаваться, мы не должны идти с умом, чтобы получить, с умом, веруя, и мы должны оставаться сосредоточенными на Нём, выжидательно, и не сдаваться, потому что если мы не верим, если мы не готовы ожидать Его, пока Он не даст то, о чём мы просили, если мы терпеливо не ожидаем Его, мы не получим ничего!
Люди спрашивают, как долго ты должен молиться, как долго ты должен ожидать. Ты должен ждать, ПОКА ты не получишь. Ты должен выжидательно ожидать, пока Он не ответит на твою молитву, пока Он не даст тебе то, о чём ты просил. Но если ты сдашься, ты не получишь ничего, если ты - не серьёзен, ты не получишь ничего.
Действительно ли ты веришь и готов ожидать ответа? Если - да, тогда иди к Иисусу, и Он ответит тебе. Если ты хочешь водительства и мудрости, молись и проси, и ожидай, пока Он ответит. Если ты хочешь крещения в Святом Духе, иди и молись, и ожидай Его. Не сдавайся, Он ответит на твою молитву, и твоя радость будет полной. Он вознаграждает тех, кто усердно (серьёзно) ищет Его.
Да благословит тебя Иисус.
Amen my brother think you for the message
If you do not expect your prayers to bze answered your prayers will not be answered, if you expect your prayer to be answered, they will be answered.
what did he say?
👍🏻
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Jas 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts?
They repented, were baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost, Acts 2:38!
Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead and walking in the newness of life.
That's what Acts 2:38 is. It harmonizes with Matthew 28:19, and all the other salvation scriptures.
We can't pick and choose which scriptures we like or dislike.
We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOTH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT for a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of GOD.
We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans.
Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures, and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOO long to be WRONG! St, John 5:39, search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.
It's better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS, and the other is a WORK OF FAITH
If I buy you a cake and tell you to come to get it, and you refuse to, then you won't have the cake even though it's been fully paid for. Christ paid the full price for our salvation. If we refuse to come to him and obey Acts 2:38 as they did, how shall we receive his salvation?
Noah believed or had FAITH, BUT THEN WORKED OR OBEYED TO BUILD THE ARK TO BE SAVED. LOT believed or had FAITH, BUT THEN OBEYED AND LEFT SODOM. This is why Jesus said, He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. We must believe and obey Acts 2:38. All scriptures have to harmonize together..
Amen!
The reason i don't get baptized is #1- man wants you to jump through too many hoops and make much outward appearances for the sake of religious ceremonies, #2- It is written that anyone who will profess with his heart and voice aloud his belief of The great "I Am" that his son made flesh, was born into this world, died for our sins, and rose from death in order that we might have everlasting life, and that they may be saved from the second death, and #3- he himself the "Saviour" spoke to me and sent the Holy spirit himself to dwell within me in 12/1988, and hes never left my side since then! So you see my friend, i know whose i am, and i know I'm saved. Sure i still mistakes now and again, however, i notice that they are not as many or as frequent and i do feel unclean but i do beg his forgiveness as soon as they are comitted, and he understandsthat we being carnal will err now and again! Thats why he forgives us and asks of us to do the of our fellow man! You see, the Holy Spirit guides me daily, and watches over me and my family when we slumber. And no man can ever convince me I'm not saved when i heard it from the almighty himself that all will be well. Anyone can profess to believe with their mouths, however, its the heart and the mind that the Lord sees!
Dear friend, our case is with Jesus, not with men. If we still feel the need to justify ourselves before men, then we are not seeking the approval of Jesus. You will give account to Jesus for refusing to obey Him and be baptized.
If you *believed* Jesus, would you not *do what he says?*
I received the Holy Spirit before being baptised, too. But I still got baptised when I realized that that was what God asked for. Does not God know best? He doesn't have to threaten me with hell for everything, we should just trust him.
Jan, is it wrong for a man to marry a woman that has been divorced once before?
You need to ask the Lord before you marry anyone. Trust me. Some people are married and do not even know it, to try to be with them is adultery.
God does not carry about the certificates of priests and government officials. They have their rules, and God has His.
But if you ask him, he will tell you. But don't just worry about what is permissable, ask Him for what is best.
Amen.
what did he say?
Amen
