As Christians we have to be careful what enters our minds that creates intrusive thinking, and creates a way to fall into temptation,The enemy creates certain shows, and movies to reinforce an agenda that is not just or righteous. We have to protect ourselves from those things that may lead to sin. Thanks Alex, May God continue to bless you. I am glad that you spoke on this video, as all your videos.
I believe as Christians we of course are allowed to enjoy music, social media, TV, anime, etc., but we must be very discerning. If you believe something has dark undertones, gives you an uncomfortable feeling, makes you hesitant to continue listening to it, PAY ATTENTION TO THAT FEELING. The Holy Spirit will definitely let you know. The Holy Spirit is shaping us & teaching us daily so we all are at different stages in our faith from when we were born again. Share with other Christians if you believe (according to scripture of course) that they are entertaining themselves with something that doesn’t glorify God.
I love how he breaks stuff down. For a new believer like me, I’m naive when it comes to media. I’ve found myself spending countless hours watching pointless videos that have nothing to do w God & bc of this, temptation sneaks up sometimes. Thanks SM for the video 👏🏽
I once heard a Pastor say that our mind is a battlefield, where our flesh and Holy Spirit are always fighting. So he said, what soldiers are coming into your mind to win the battle? Thank you for this Alex!!
I'm a longtime anime fan, but I knew anime becoming an idol in my life. I can literally feel my heart love anime so greatly. Having a hold on me and I've been repenting to God. I told him I do not want to serve two masters. I want to be loyal to God. With what I watch and entertain in my mind. Been wanting to slow down on watch time of anime, and God show me, what to see or stop completely.
I’ve struggled too with anime and manga. I had to start realizing what I’m watching and what is going through my head as I watch it. It caused me to cut a lot of anime and manga out of my life but it’s worth it,
Amen! I too love watching anime and reading manga to the point that I no longer eat or sleep properly. I believe that we should attend precaution on consuming secular stuffsーand of course flee from videos that provokes us to sin. We should always check what content we're putting into our system whether it affects your daily life and/or your faith. I rely and pray to God that He will lead and guide me upon my desire (which He has put into my heart) to create Christian-content alike to comics/manga in order to lead people back to Him using His words! I also hope that more and more Christian Artists can use their gifts and talents to inspire, influence and make a difference; accentuating the power of our God to this wicked world. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Some promising verses to encourage you! "Therefore do not cast away your confidence which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise." ー Hebrews 10:35-36 "A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men" ー Proverbs 18:16 "Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men." ー Proverbs 22:29 ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Let us pray for one another to Yeshua for this matter! Blessings~!
@@kedesti.9056 It take being truthful and admitting this area you are not giving to God. It wonderful you can admit how you are struggling. As it says in psalm "God is an ever present help in our problems." I know watching anime is not a sin, BUT what we are allowing into our mind and heart can be, or it become an idol in our life. I'll keep you in prayer. God given you a hope and a future, and that God fills you with that, in Jesus Christ name his plans and future for you be done.
@@Azy-Al Absolutely will pray for you and those who have put anime first before Jesus Christ. Those promises are wonderful. And I'll add this one too Ezekiel 36:25-28 " I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decreesand be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God."
I send links too lol to my family and friends and to people I think needs it or will appreciate it. But sometimes I get scared they'll stop liking me for the links because they like their own stuff
if you see this God wants you to know that He loves you and will always be there with you. He wants a relationship with you and wants to be in Heaven with you. He will return for His PEOPLE one day and Not every day is promised. Remember that when God is silent He is testing your faith He hears your prayers and His TIMING is PERFECT. God bless you and your family.
I quit anime for God it was going good but when i see my other friends watching anime i felt like my freedom was going away but i came across this channel just yesterday and i got to learn a lot of things and you also posted about amime xd that confirms it, walking faithfully is gonna cost us a lot but it's worth it.
Did you go cold turkey? Or did you slow down and then completely stop? Anime become an idol in my life. Ever since I was young, I would be drawn to anime and escape reality by watching anime. It such a comfort to me... I'm learning how wrong, evil, and witchcraft is in anime. I know God want me to stop. I heard this quote "whatever you give your time and energy to is an idol," I have set to slow down on watch time. Just see it once a day, but I tend to go watch anime reacts, or content. Ahhhhhh I want to serve God with my time and everything but I keep going in my same ways.
@Victor Davis Thanks. Really clear and simple to do, sometimes I complicate it. I just don't want to waste the time God given me. I struggle with having trust in Jesus Christ but man do I notice how I can trust in an anime character because of the time I spend watching them, and getting more invested into their characters. It saddens and irritates me how I can put my trust in anime but struggle trusting Jesus? No, that why I want to spend my time getting to know Jesus Christ more.
Like I mean nobody same you cant watch anime is just that when you like the process of like stop watch anime to focus on god you feel like you don't want to watch it anymore
I LOVE your videos, it just feels right. My parents are super religious (my name is Jesus) and I distanced my self from the spiritual side of life as soon as I started living alone at 18. Now im 22, had my 1st failure, depression, identity crisis and things are making much sense now and it is thanks to channels like yours. It feels good to live the christian life by choice and not by requirement.
I mostly watch Anime because I like the storyline of a good Anime, I'm interested too in the Martial Arts style of it, but it really doesn't affect my way of thinking it just motivates me to be a strong mind for justice. I watch those that resonates with my deep thinking, but I still follow the righteous path of Jesus Christ, beacuse he is my savior! Amen.
I like anime, but some of the running "jokes" and caricatures they have are a turn off and can definitely be sinful. They often have prideful, self-righteous, self-reliant, and even blasphemous storylines and characters. I also hate the fact that they sexualize everything and basically normalize sexual harassment. The older and spiritually wiser I get, the less anime I watch, actually.
I like anime as well, and I think part of it is which genre you're looking at. Many of the more slice of life shows/movies are more down to earth without all the fan-service, because Japanese life in reality is more modest. I will say though, the longer I'm on my Christian walk, I notice the less explicit shonen and shoujo I take part in. Watching shows I loved back in high school or middle school, I have to try to look past some of that service or jokes to continue to enjoy it
That’s mostly anime nowadays though. Back then those things were rarely seen. Well, as long as you don’t let it influence or affect you it’s fine. Although what examples of self-reliant moments are in anime?
Imo some anime genres like the demon genre, ecchi, yaoi/bl, horror are sinful since they promote ungodly things. Some anime genres that I recommend are sports, light romance, mystery, action (and it depends for some)
@@quanmichel3747 its a fighting anime, all fighting really. So that isn't really sinful, just don't idolize dragon ball, you can enjoy it but dont idolize it.
Praise God forever. Jesus, who reigns, my Husband and Son of God, comes soon. USA(Babylon) will be invaded by Russia to the east and China to the west and will lose. NYC will be destroyed. Repent and focus on Jesus. Plead the blood of Jesus like so: "God cleanse and cover me in blood of Jesus. Forgive me of all sin. Jesus." and believe in your heart. Rapture is soon and the kingdom of God is near, so be holy. Obama is the antichrist and will use the rfid chip as mark of the beast with the False Prophet named Francis from Catholicism. Avoid rfid chip or rfid tattoo on right hand or forehead. There will be three days of darkness so please prepare as that will be when Jesus shall visit people. Stay inside during the 3 days of darkness and do not open for anyone. There will be demons in the 3 days of darkness. There will be fallen angels and giants and zombies and cyborgs and werewolves and dinosaurs and persecution and many millions of deaths and disease like boils and tsunami to USA California and New Jersey and Florida and famine and fireball. Jesus is God and He is not a woman. Repent daily. Puerto Rico will have tsunami, asteroid will strike. London will have a flood. Earthquake coming to California. Share the gospel and Word of God. Jesus commanded to be perfect so strive to be perfect and holy. Earth is few thousand years not millions. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. Do not believe in million year old earth. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Watch out for creatures with all black eyes with no white in them, it is demonic. Love you and everyone else God willing and God also loves everyone. Nuclear bombs shall strike. A war between Israel and Iran and Israel shall win. Canada and Europe and South America and asia shall also be affected with judgements. Trump will die and Obama will be shot around the head and around 3 days later have Satan come into him. Sorrow is better than laughter. God gives purpose to all His children so stop listening to false voices and listen to God. Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him. The LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.“I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, trust in Jesus only. In your mind think to love God and others. "Luck" comes from Satan. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. There are two genders: male and female in the Word. Do not mock or belittle Jesus. Place mind on heavenly things. Confess Jesus is Lord and God is Father. All man made Earthly kingdoms will be destroyed by fire and replaced by Kingdom of God. Honor the old man, Call no man Father or Rabbi. Make Jerusalem above your mother. Time is short and Jesus is coming to collect a people without spot or blemish. Hell is real and people enter heaven through Jesus and those who are not with Jesus who die go to Hell and then lake of fire forever. If God lets you, gather food and water and supplies you need because water and foods will be affected. You can also ask God to protect you. Waters will turn to poison, The tribulation will be bad so enter rapture to escape. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Do not love this life or be lovers of self. EMP coming to USA.All lives matter not just black lives. Avoid making comic book characters your personal hero and make Jesus your hero, He is the Almighty. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts, mood swings, anorexia, suicide thoughts, loneliness, or have a disease, seek Jesus. Jesus can cure any disease. Husbands are head of the wives, husbands love wives and wives obey husband. Aliens are demons dont trust them. Osas is not always true, work out your own salvation and also have good deeds. There will be a locust army that will wage war on humanity. Believe in faith to receive in prayer or you will not receive, those who exalt themselves shall be humbled but those who humble themselves shall be exalted first shall be last but last shall be first, be lesser and last since the least shall be the ones who are great, let your words be few, seek Jesus and pray without ceasing, Keep 10 commandments even Sabbath, bless and not curse, repent of all sin, do unto others what you would want them to do unto you, harp music with praises to Jesus like "Praise Jesus forever" is biblical, read bible daily, cleanliness, no yoga or yoga pants, dont get COVID vaccine, love God, love others, avoid homosexuality, sending nudity to strangers, lusting over graven images, vain talk, sinful gun violence, saying "kill yourself/fuc* you", calling people dumb or fool or stupid, do not swear at all not to swear to God, calling June pride month and/or celebrating homosexuality, high heels, strife, sinful incest, guiding people into prostitution or lusting over nudity not married to you, Jehovah's Witness, transformers, stripping, drunkenness/drinking alcohol/non alcoholic beer, witchcraft, sinful media like tv shows, exaggerated price for items being sold (keep the prices at an honest price), unholy/secular anime/mangas like death note and avatar last airbender and naruto and one piece and bleach and dragon ball and fairy tail and demon slayer, love of money, sex outside of biblical marriage, adultery, masturbation, porno/hentai, anal and oral sex and hand jobs, plastic surgery, IVF, birth control/contraceptives, vasectomy, Kingdom hearts, soccer/football and idolizing soccer or its players, merchants of the faith, addiction to facebook, sleeveless shirts and sinful shorts, sinful earrings and piercings, people pleasers over God pleasing, pride, smoking, gossip, lying,lacking faith, materialism, fictional books, dolls like dolls from Disney or pokemon or teddy bears, disney shows or movies, pokemon or its games or pokemon go or its dolls, yugiho, sleeping with father, mother, father's wife, physical sister, grand daughter, aunt, daughter-in-law, brothers wife, sex with women in menstrual uncleanness, neighbors wife, perverted talk to non married people, sinful movies like marvel, batman toys and movies and games, joking around, not loving God, unforgiveness, rap, music that doesn't glorify Jesus or God, cursing even parents, hate, suicide, videos games, trusting in self or humans over trusting in God and His Word, having any idol than Jesus, bikini and inappropriate clothing, sex with animals, arrogance, twerking/dancing to satanic music, rebellion, Santa Claus, catholicism, 7th day adventist, lukewarmness, making another person God only Jesus is God, cursing parents or a ruler/anyone in authority, spreading false report, martial arts ex.

@@DavidPadilla-td5iz brother I believe you..just why in the reply of another persons comment did you decide to post this... I have many questions how do you know that dinosaurs ,cybrogs, werewolves , giants and other creatures will roam the earth through the 3days..will they disappear after that? I read revelations but that part is not there. Why is dying the hair a sin? Funny how you mentioned Dora the explorer ( but I will take your world for it) Why is oral sex wrong i thought the book of Solomon allowed I read an article. (Still take your word for it) I thought that the fallen angels would masquerade as aliens and with the new age order. Collaboration for there agenda of peace.. and decieve many with mircles and offer the last piece of the forbidden fruit to man.
Jesus Christ Made it very clear in his Sermon “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 ESV
"Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7 Resist the devil by filling yourselves with the truth of Christ. Hopefully this inspired and encouraged you today. God bless.
If your reading this your not the only one that’s on a spiritual journey I no it feels like a war in your head but have faith that your exactly were you need to be god bless you amen. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
I'm also in the process of abandoning anime for God. It was beginning to take up too much of my time, and therefore becoming an idol. I'm revealed to see that other people have this struggle too! Somedays it's easy, and other days it's really tempting. I'm gonna keep praying and I know that God will see me through! I was listening to the song "Moving On" by Mali Music and it confirmed in my spirit that I have to move on. "I know my rearview can't compare to what God will do with my life," are the lyrics. Sometimes we have to let go of what we are holding so that God can give us something better.
Personally I think watching anime if it's a sin or not Depends on what's in it I avoid anime that dont feel right Or just dont appeal to what the bible said about y'know watching things and stuff And putting bad things in front of your eyes things like that So yeah
@Victor Davis Yeah and then there's stuff like High School DXD and even before that I stop. I only watch proven mainstream stuff. (Hunter x Hunter, Naruto, db, One Piece, etc.) even some episodes can be iffy at times
Oh my... i've been struggling with this for the past few days. and somehow you, who i have never seen before, gets put on my page with this topic... thats the Lord putting this video in my recommended... thank you so much! Praise the Lord!
At one point in time I was into anime so much never had time for GOD and didn’t really read my bible, always had a bad attitude until one day GOD opened my eyes and led me towards HIM and made me as I am right now in which I don’t watch anime anymore and changed my personality and I feel much better and much closer to GOD than ever before.
I have been looking and looking and looking for someone who loves God more than anything on RUclips and this is one of those channels I truly truly thank God for, so much good advice man thank you and God bless!
I simply watch anime for fun, but I don’t lust after the characters or watch hentai. I don’t create it as an idol, like everything else I watch and do. I can appreciate and praise God in the way that people create beautiful stories and art from overseas and where I live.
@@syza I’ve already been changing… I love god more than anything. Dragonball is a fictional action show.. it is not teaching anyone to love the devil or have any hate to god. What are you talking about? Srry I said dc and marvel are bad.. maybe you like those shows.. don’t talk to me with insults… I insulted no one…
@@syza marvel and DC are not a person. I shared my opinion about it.. maybe I shouldn’t have tho.. and you told me I’m lying to myself. That’s an insult.. and as far as marvel goes, there is a lot of dark, violent stuff as well and nudity and demonic stuff like lady death as well so not sure what your getting at there. There’s nothing wrong with watching anime’s like dragonball, it’s action and entertaining, it’s never changed my thoughts about god, Ive never even thought of bad things torwards god. we just be smart with what we watch. God gave us brains so use em… but however Anime hentai/porn is sinful cause of lust… god bless have a nice day.😇🙏🏽
@@syza I actually do apologize for saying that you insulted me tho.. maybe went alittle too overboard there.. but in life only god knows who’s lying and how we truly think when we watch something… I am being very honest when I said anime has never changed my thoughts about god… I will always like action anime and characters like Goku but it will never replace god in my heart… God bless 😇…..
if you anyone sees my comment, just stick to your own convictions. if it causes you to sin or if you feel like you really shouldn’t be watching it, then drop it ! the Holy Spirit will always keep you in check! so you definitely can watch anime [or whatever you want] as long as you don’t idolize it. this goes for every show you’re going to watch in the future.
I have been watching you for 4 years now and you have helped me so much. I thank as a sister in Christ for your insight. And I absolutely love how instead of naming specific shows to not watch, you gave us Scripture on the topic and told us to discern for ourselves whether or not this is affecting our faith or if its worth our time. The Lord bless you
I used to be addicted to watching harem anime, because i was sad and lonely. I am a couple of months sober from it and have not thought about going back to it at all. Im so glad God saved me from that!
Thank you for the insight. Sometimes I'll watch creepy or scary youtube videos , very rarely but I don't feel great at all and just a bit sad afterwards. I stopped watching scary movies even years ago too. This clip was just a reaffirmation that i should just keep to watching my regular cute animal videos and wholesome content ,that way my positivity and faith in humanity can stay put lol☺️👍
I used to be a huge kpop stan for 3 years and I also used to watch anime a lot. So much so that I wouldn't even go to sleep. I became very sleep deprived and depressed. I was literally a zombie and I became inslaved by it. I couldn't go a day without think about it. anything that was kpop I had to have it. It got so bad but because I was so spiritually blinded by it I couldn't see how Satan was slowly killing me. I would still read the Bible and everything. But thankfully God revealed to me how evil it was and he change my heart. A lot of people in the comment section are so spiritually blinded how I was. As a Christian we should not be entertaining that kind of stuff. For it is written "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" Exodus 20:2.
What if you have self control and don’t watch it frequently for example 2 or 3 episodes a week, even though I don’t get tempted or enjoy it, I just need to eat my dinner watching something
@@songsforbranches So in that case it would be heart posture, he kinda explains it in the video about the little mermaid, with him lusting after her and the little girl probably not digging to deep into it. So I would just pray that if it is tempting you,God reveals it to you.
The Holy Spirit gives discernment. As our walk with God matures, we get more sensitive. Things that never used to bug my spirit even just a year ago, now my appetite has changed.
Thanks for this some times I watch things that are not meant to be evil and I get horrible thoughts and I would justify it with well most people don't get evil thoughts when they watch this but your right we need wisdom to choose the right programs.
I just want to say your whole channel is a answer to my questions, I JUST CANT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL BUT THIS MAY GOD BLESS YOU, GUIDE YOU AND CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU HIS GRACE , WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING,LOVE AND FAVOR THANK YOU . And may God help me to stop lusting after inappropriate videos 🙏
God bless you and your family and friends and everyone else in the world abundantly more by centillion to the power of 999 centillion Be blessed forever, everyone, and every second. May God bless everyone with best gifts from heaven and may all receive super love and joy all the time in Jesus name. May your family and friends and everyone else be blessed and receive joy and love as well. May you be blessed forever and be crowned, you and everyone else, as royalty and mighty men of God in heaven. May you and everyone else be cleansed by the blood of Jesus every second in Jesus name. May you and everyone else be restored and exalted by infinity in heavenly places in Jesus name. May you enjoy repentance. Time is short Love you everyone forever god willing. I am the least of everything by infinity and sitting in the lowest spot of all time by faith god willing.
This just happen e to me watching the new strangers things, I was startled and uneasy within the first 10 minutes. After the whole episode I was done! The eyes are the key to the soul…. Stay bless much love God is Great😁❤️
Man, this video is an answer to prayer. I know it may sound odd, but I have fought back and forth with myself on whether or not I was going to buy Nelk merch, as they have a drop scheduled for tonight. I keep hearing a small voice deep down that questions buying this $100 Nelk item. Finally, instead of pushing it off, I submitted in prayer asking, "God is it your will for me to use this money elsewhere? To glorify you?" And this video with NELK in the title showed up on my feed. Wow. So no, I'm not spending $100+ on a t-shirt. I am instead praying to God and asking how I can use that money I would have spent, to glorify Him. This will be the hardest thing I do, I practically used RUclips since childhood and it takes up hours of my free time.
Nelk boys is the suggested video to play next, and I haven’t watched them in a long time. It’s almost like it’s a test put in place to see if I’ll watch em.
when you said you lusted after the little mermaid, for some reason my spirit was like that’s understandable. she’s a siren. the temptation was underlying. Idk just something that struck me. Thank you for this video. God bless you ☺️
Remember God is always with us even if we don't 'feel' him. We walk by faith not by sight. Don't rely too much on feelings. Feelings are just a bonus. "feelings come feelings go, feelings are decieving. My warrant is the word of God, none else is worth believing." - Martin Luther
Thank yo so much, I can’t explain how much your videos have helped me! I’m serious, cleared up so many mysteries about God that I’ve struggled with all me life.
We are so blessed to have this app that we can spread the gospel on. So many souls need saving. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” I pray that you’ll all be saved.
Great video brother! I quit anime some months ago, and if you are still in doubt if you should stop or not, just Stop! As soon as I did, God gave me more discernment and now I just feel blessed! Anime was like a bag of stones on my shoulders because I knew there was something wrong but I was like eh... but trust me, if you choose to quit, it'll be the best decision you'll make. I pray that God blesses you and guides you in all truth. Amen🙏🏽
I started getting heavy nightmares when I watched Hellsing and other demonic anime and some of them... ( Hellsing ) were my favorite shows of all time. When i stopped watching and repented, the nightmares stopped. Anime is very addicting but most anime are full of pervertion. Personally i don't watch anime anymore because it's hard to find a good show that doesn't go against God's teachings but I believe there are some clean anime out there that glorify God. And that's essentially it. Paul talked about always glorifying God in everything you do. And so before you watch any video, anime, movie ask yourself 'how will this give glory to God? And would God be happy if I watch this? Because otherwise you will pay the consequences one way or another.
Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
I have had a problem with fantasy in the past relating to anime, it has twisted my view of reality in such a way that makes our regular world look terrible and lifeless. I used to dive into these worlds of fantasy to escape from things in the real world. God has told me before that He is going to use me to help other people with this issue but I have never met anyone in my life that has this issue like I do, does anyone else struggle with this? It’s most of the time accompanied with lust.
I struggle with this too. I thought I was alone and felt embarrassed and didn't know how to explain fantasy addiction to people around me. It's one of the weaknesses that keep hindering me in my walk with God. I have this constant false scenarios too. When I'm sad and down, I run to fantasies to feel better. This has been a battle since childhood but I never knew how serious and spiritual it is till I gave my life to Christ.
Satan even told Eve in the garden that she was missing out when she and Adam had everything. In think even today, there are sinful things that do the same. Isekai and things like it are escapist in nature. It's definitely prevalent. Many people want to escape from this world to something "better". The real world has so much to offer. If God has told you, you might need to follow Him. Just use discernment. Following God always is wild ride that gives you more than you bargained for.
I find that I watch some bad tv shows movies and RUclips but to a certain point like if I find that that’s a reason that’s causing me to sin I block it out as quick as possible but if not I just pay close attention and stay focused if I watch movies or tv shows like that
Thank You So Much or For This video I really have been thinking about this Topic the past few days. Stay Blessed and God Bless you and Everyone and Everyone Around You.
@@fyro8514 @シFyro it is following a religious and strict rule in order to go to Heaven. (but the only way above is relationship to Jesus). For example is going ro church every Sunday and thinking that it will help you get to Heaven. In other words, it's religious acts with wrong intention. Just like what the comment above, the topic about this anime is broad but some of the comments I read says that we should all avoid watching anime which is a legalism for me. It's fine to watch anime but use discernment on what anime you should and shouldn't watch.
For everything in this world is the lust of the flesh. Life govern by the flesh leads to death. But the life governed by the Spirit leads to everlasting life.
This is a valid point. Don't look at stuff that could lead you into sin. It could also be summed up as re-evaluate your priorities. At the same time I think that if your aim was to be _more_ sinful then there are a lot worse ways you could be spending your time. But look, I have no fear of eternal hell or for the fate of my soul. We will each reap what we sow and whether I am good or bad is out of preference. In my opinion it's always the stuff we don't understand about ourselves and the world around us that causes fear.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
For the anime thing it’s really just what the show is. Like haikyuu and mha isnt bad (ignore the crazy side of their fandom) but something like angels of death isnt good. So like not all anime.
@@Brendenlmack I was thinking about that. Personally, I don’t think I’ll continue watching it because it is bordenline horror based. But you just have to see if its something you feel is safe to watch, really whats the contents of the show
Animes like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon slayer are animes that I’m avoiding. I mostly watch some light romance, sports or some mysteries (because I’m into detective things) I also don’t associate much with fandoms anymore because most of them do a lot of sinful things and some have even hurtfully hated on Christians :/
Thank you for this very good explaination! It cleared a lot of things for me and even confirmed a lot of things for me. God bless your ministry more & more in the coming days!
It depends on the message of the R-rated work. Like Passion of the Christ or even the Bible itself which inspire hope and Godliness and a love of truth even in the darkness.
If it causes you to sin, Pluck it out for it is much better For you to be called 'boring' just your WHOLE body to be burned in hell Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
I read a synopsis and watch a pilot on an anime. If the Holy Spirit convicts me, I quit that series immediately. I probably find maybe one new show a year at this rate. I'm so glad God has cut so much media out of my life.
It's not wrong to watch anime I mean if it has Hentai or anything of that manner or demonic things then it's bad I think you can watch anime but not to the degree of ignoring God
Avoid heavy fan service stuff but would an anime with rape and murder and voice be considered a sin aswell? And if thats the case then movies and videogames are bad too? Me head hurts😞
@@lumpystilskin5367 Still, their depictions are with the likeness of people. It's why Goblin Slayer had some controversy despite being fictional characters.
Hey friends, I have a question as an honestly struggling Christian. This may be the lies the devil puts in my head but lately with so much going on in my life - depression and anxiety, burnout, suicidal thoughts, a parent's life-threatening health diagnosis, work burnout and just losing my overall sense of self, I've been beginning to feel like it's so much easier to just turn on netflix and put trash into my mind and how much more difficult it is to open my Bible and come to God. The thought I frequently struggle with is - why can't God just make it easier to come to Him and be refreshed by Him instead, why do I have to actually put in effort and feel condemned if I don't? Genuinely, asking for help here guys.
Hey, I struggle with this same thing, but we're thinking about it the wrong way. God doesn't make it hard for us to come to him. He has made it so EASY for us. In the Old Testament, people didn't even have direct access to God, but because of what Jesus did on the cross, we literally have a direct line to the God of the universe. He is always with us, always ready to listen. Like a father to a child. How crazy is that? The reason why we feel such resistance is because the last thing the ENEMY wants us to realize is how EASY it is to come to God. The resistance doesn't come from God, but from the enemy, and the flesh, and everything of this world. But if we just break through that resistance we find how incredibly easy it is to talk to our Father. Stay blessed, love.
@@thelordismyshepherd8334 Thank you so much for this love, I really needed this during this time, and God bless you for using these words to speak to me during this time. It really reminded me of who is the real enemy here and how important it is to fight my flesh with focus on God! Stay blessed too Mia, I pray that we will continue to fight these thoughts and the devil until we are reunited with God again :)
The animator that designed and animated Ariel from The Little Mermaid was a faithful Christian himself. It was certainly not his intention to evoke some physical response from young boys. The fact is we live in a fallen world and the enemy (not Disney animators) is going to use whatever he can to make us stumble. So you're right, for each person it is different and we as individuals have to use discernment for ourselves.
Yes indeed, it's all about our personal Conviction. What is "evil" enough to me might now be called "evil" to other person. I love anime and tbh I do avoid animes who's mc is a witch or demon or the one who is doing the bad stuffs. I tell u, when I tried watching Jujutsu kaisen.. just 5 mins into it. My gut can't take it! It makes me wanna throw up bc of how demonic that anime show is my God. I couldn't bring myself to watch it. They're just no way. Also the demon-school anime. Nah highly demonic. Seven deadly sins also I can't take it bc of its perversity. Also any yaoi stuff. Disgusting. Anyways, if some of u feel this way. Trust ur gut and not continue. Do not defile urself and force urself to watch something the Holy Spirit doesn't watch u to watch. It will cost u ur peace in the future.
i think for me, you can watch anime but if it starts to change your relation ship with God i dont think thats okay. But yea i do agree some anime you shouldnt watch like seven deadly sins etc. (Also are we allowed to watch aot cause in the op it did say praying wont help, but for me i think aot is very fictional so i dont really think it causes to much harm. But please tell me if its not okay or not.)
@Victor Davis how about naruto i watch naruto shippuden but the part of where kaguya otsutsuki eats like an apple and appearantly it makes her like god . Sorry for asking to much question im just a bit confuse
@@uoppsdn2459 It definitely gives me garden of Eden vibes. I ignored it and kept it pushing. If its being pushed on me like...Kimi no name (Your Name) then I tend to back away. Good love story but then it directly was openly preaching Shintoism. I had to distance myself a bit. I say take these things nominally if you can and if the anime can't help but to preach some anti god message or values then I'd back away from it.
If you’re reading this Jesus Christ loves you and He will never leave you alone
Yes, true...but if we fill our minds with carnal things more then spiritual, we might eventually leave Him.
Wow. You don’t know how much this mean to me 🥺🥺
Jesus loves you too brother or sister God bless you hope you have a nice day
Is Jesus with me when I'm taking a shit too?
Thank you
As Christians we have to be careful what enters our minds that creates intrusive thinking, and creates a way to fall into temptation,The enemy creates certain shows, and movies to reinforce an agenda that is not just or righteous. We have to protect ourselves from those things that may lead to sin. Thanks Alex, May God continue to bless you. I am glad that you spoke on this video, as all your videos.
Well said. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🏾❤❤❤
Jesus your quite the character
Amen:)
I believe as Christians we of course are allowed to enjoy music, social media, TV, anime, etc., but we must be very discerning. If you believe something has dark undertones, gives you an uncomfortable feeling, makes you hesitant to continue listening to it, PAY ATTENTION TO THAT FEELING. The Holy Spirit will definitely let you know.
The Holy Spirit is shaping us & teaching us daily so we all are at different stages in our faith from when we were born again. Share with other Christians if you believe (according to scripture of course) that they are entertaining themselves with something that doesn’t glorify God.
@@Hannah-qy4mm Amenn! Glory to God for such wisdom!!

I love how he breaks stuff down. For a new believer like me, I’m naive when it comes to media. I’ve found myself spending countless hours watching pointless videos that have nothing to do w God & bc of this, temptation sneaks up sometimes. Thanks SM for the video 👏🏽
I feel you...overtime you'll switch the content up...GBU
Keep pursuing God he's got great things ahead for you praying strength for you
Don’t be discouraged! Spend time with God!
I will pray for you that God is with you and gives you strenght to resiste the enemy.
As long as you're aware that these kinds of media are fiction, it's alright
I once heard a Pastor say that our mind is a battlefield, where our flesh and Holy Spirit are always fighting. So he said, what soldiers are coming into your mind to win the battle? Thank you for this Alex!!
Wow that's amazing thank you!
Then don't indulge train your mentality like a Spartan.
Ohh! I was thinking about this comment. Thanks for sharing. It's a very good analogy.
I'm a longtime anime fan, but I knew anime becoming an idol in my life. I can literally feel my heart love anime so greatly. Having a hold on me and I've been repenting to God. I told him I do not want to serve two masters. I want to be loyal to God. With what I watch and entertain in my mind. Been wanting to slow down on watch time of anime, and God show me, what to see or stop completely.
Attack on titan , the final season was great 😭
I’ve struggled too with anime and manga. I had to start realizing what I’m watching and what is going through my head as I watch it. It caused me to cut a lot of anime and manga out of my life but it’s worth it,
Amen! I too love watching anime and reading manga to the point that I no longer eat or sleep properly. I believe that we should attend precaution on consuming secular stuffsーand of course flee from videos that provokes us to sin. We should always check what content we're putting into our system whether it affects your daily life and/or your faith.
I rely and pray to God that He will lead and guide me upon my desire (which He has put into my heart) to create Christian-content alike to comics/manga in order to lead people back to Him using His words!
I also hope that more and more Christian Artists can use their gifts and talents to inspire, influence and make a difference; accentuating the power of our God to this wicked world.

@@kedesti.9056 It take being truthful and admitting this area you are not giving to God. It wonderful you can admit how you are struggling. As it says in psalm "God is an ever present help in our problems." I know watching anime is not a sin, BUT what we are allowing into our mind and heart can be, or it become an idol in our life. I'll keep you in prayer. God given you a hope and a future, and that God fills you with that, in Jesus Christ name his plans and future for you be done.
@@Azy-Al Absolutely will pray for you and those who have put anime first before Jesus Christ. Those promises are wonderful. And I'll add this one too Ezekiel 36:25-28 " I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decreesand be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God."
I hope my boyfriend isn’t tired of me sending theseeee🙃 I want to do the best that I can to follow God’s will.
Woow same♥️
I send links too lol to my family and friends and to people I think needs it or will appreciate it. But sometimes I get scared they'll stop liking me for the links because they like their own stuff
@@detectivenora you‘re doing the right thing brother/sister
if you see this God wants you to know that He loves you and will always be there with you. He wants a relationship with you and wants to be in Heaven with you. He will return for His PEOPLE one day and Not every day is promised. Remember that when God is silent He is testing your faith He hears your prayers and His TIMING is PERFECT. God bless you and your family.
Thank you🙏🙏

"I will set no worthless things before my eyes."
It might be permissible, but is it beneficial? Thanks Alex! God bless you bro!
I quit anime for God it was going good but when i see my other friends watching anime i felt like my freedom was going away but i came across this channel just yesterday and i got to learn a lot of things and you also posted about amime xd that confirms it, walking faithfully is gonna cost us a lot but it's worth it.
Did you go cold turkey? Or did you slow down and then completely stop? Anime become an idol in my life. Ever since I was young, I would be drawn to anime and escape reality by watching anime. It such a comfort to me... I'm learning how wrong, evil, and witchcraft is in anime. I know God want me to stop. I heard this quote "whatever you give your time and energy to is an idol," I have set to slow down on watch time. Just see it once a day, but I tend to go watch anime reacts, or content. Ahhhhhh I want to serve God with my time and everything but I keep going in my same ways.
@Victor Davis Thanks. Really clear and simple to do, sometimes I complicate it. I just don't want to waste the time God given me. I struggle with having trust in Jesus Christ but man do I notice how I can trust in an anime character because of the time I spend watching them, and getting more invested into their characters. It saddens and irritates me how I can put my trust in anime but struggle trusting Jesus? No, that why I want to spend my time getting to know Jesus Christ more.
@Victor Davis yeah that what I want to do draw onto God
Well I doing the process because I feel like it be easier like to stop watch anime or stuff
Like I mean nobody same you cant watch anime is just that when you like the process of like stop watch anime to focus on god you feel like you don't want to watch it anymore
I LOVE your videos, it just feels right. My parents are super religious (my name is Jesus) and I distanced my self from the spiritual side of life as soon as I started living alone at 18.
Now im 22, had my 1st failure, depression, identity crisis and things are making much sense now and it is thanks to channels like yours.
It feels good to live the christian life by choice and not by requirement.
Amem
God bless you and may God guide you naturally according to his will, love you in Christ❤
Jesus is coming, preach tell a family member about Jesus
@@daniellemarshall3251 thank u man means a lot its not easy
I like that by choice not requirement
I mostly watch Anime because I like the storyline of a good Anime, I'm interested too in the Martial Arts style of it, but it really doesn't affect my way of thinking it just motivates me to be a strong mind for justice. I watch those that resonates with my deep thinking, but I still follow the righteous path of Jesus Christ, beacuse he is my savior! Amen.
Yeah same bro that's exactly me
@@RK4CHRIST High Five bro!✋🏿
Amen!
Fr!!
Rurouni Kenshin is a great anime of repentance, atonement, the value of life, and strong ideals
I like anime, but some of the running "jokes" and caricatures they have are a turn off and can definitely be sinful. They often have prideful, self-righteous, self-reliant, and even blasphemous storylines and characters. I also hate the fact that they sexualize everything and basically normalize sexual harassment. The older and spiritually wiser I get, the less anime I watch, actually.
I like anime too but anime jokes are just not it 💀💀. Half the time they be sexualizing minors, But every now and then i’ll find a good anime.
I like anime as well, and I think part of it is which genre you're looking at. Many of the more slice of life shows/movies are more down to earth without all the fan-service, because Japanese life in reality is more modest. I will say though, the longer I'm on my Christian walk, I notice the less explicit shonen and shoujo I take part in. Watching shows I loved back in high school or middle school, I have to try to look past some of that service or jokes to continue to enjoy it
Same here
That’s mostly anime nowadays though. Back then those things were rarely seen. Well, as long as you don’t let it influence or affect you it’s fine. Although what examples of self-reliant moments are in anime?
watch naruto or boruto i guess, or one piece?
Imo some anime genres like the demon genre, ecchi, yaoi/bl, horror are sinful since they promote ungodly things. Some anime genres that I recommend are sports, light romance, mystery, action (and it depends for some)
and what about attack on titan? isnt that sinful too?
there is even a villain called the beast lol
What about dragon ball lmao
@@quanmichel3747 its a fighting anime, all fighting really. So that isn't really sinful, just don't idolize dragon ball, you can enjoy it but dont idolize it.
@@3dyynio206 that’s why he’s the villain 😂
You are truly blessed by God!! You have been so helpful and have helped me with my walk with Christ, and I literally watch you everyday.
Keep it up king god loves you and notices your gestures 🖤
Thank you so much for this comment. It helps me
Facts!!
Praise God forever. Jesus, who reigns, my Husband and Son of God, comes soon. USA(Babylon) will be invaded by Russia to the east and China to the west and will lose. NYC will be destroyed. Repent and focus on Jesus. Plead the blood of Jesus like so: "God cleanse and cover me in blood of Jesus. Forgive me of all sin. Jesus." and believe in your heart. Rapture is soon and the kingdom of God is near, so be holy. Obama is the antichrist and will use the rfid chip as mark of the beast with the False Prophet named Francis from Catholicism. Avoid rfid chip or rfid tattoo on right hand or forehead. There will be three days of darkness so please prepare as that will be when Jesus shall visit people. Stay inside during the 3 days of darkness and do not open for anyone. There will be demons in the 3 days of darkness. There will be fallen angels and giants and zombies and cyborgs and werewolves and dinosaurs and persecution and many millions of deaths and disease like boils and tsunami to USA California and New Jersey and Florida and famine and fireball. Jesus is God and He is not a woman. Repent daily. Puerto Rico will have tsunami, asteroid will strike. London will have a flood. Earthquake coming to California. Share the gospel and Word of God. Jesus commanded to be perfect so strive to be perfect and holy. Earth is few thousand years not millions. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. Do not believe in million year old earth. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Watch out for creatures with all black eyes with no white in them, it is demonic. Love you and everyone else God willing and God also loves everyone. Nuclear bombs shall strike. A war between Israel and Iran and Israel shall win. Canada and Europe and South America and asia shall also be affected with judgements. Trump will die and Obama will be shot around the head and around 3 days later have Satan come into him. Sorrow is better than laughter. God gives purpose to all His children so stop listening to false voices and listen to God. Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him. The LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.“I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, trust in Jesus only. In your mind think to love God and others. "Luck" comes from Satan. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. There are two genders: male and female in the Word. Do not mock or belittle Jesus. Place mind on heavenly things. Confess Jesus is Lord and God is Father. All man made Earthly kingdoms will be destroyed by fire and replaced by Kingdom of God. Honor the old man, Call no man Father or Rabbi. Make Jerusalem above your mother. Time is short and Jesus is coming to collect a people without spot or blemish. Hell is real and people enter heaven through Jesus and those who are not with Jesus who die go to Hell and then lake of fire forever. If God lets you, gather food and water and supplies you need because water and foods will be affected. You can also ask God to protect you. Waters will turn to poison, The tribulation will be bad so enter rapture to escape. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Do not love this life or be lovers of self. EMP coming to USA.All lives matter not just black lives. Avoid making comic book characters your personal hero and make Jesus your hero, He is the Almighty. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts, mood swings, anorexia, suicide thoughts, loneliness, or have a disease, seek Jesus. Jesus can cure any disease. Husbands are head of the wives, husbands love wives and wives obey husband. Aliens are demons dont trust them. Osas is not always true, work out your own salvation and also have good deeds. There will be a locust army that will wage war on humanity.

I'm also in the process of abandoning anime for God. It was beginning to take up too much of my time, and therefore becoming an idol. I'm revealed to see that other people have this struggle too! Somedays it's easy, and other days it's really tempting. I'm gonna keep praying and I know that God will see me through! I was listening to the song "Moving On" by Mali Music and it confirmed in my spirit that I have to move on. "I know my rearview can't compare to what God will do with my life," are the lyrics. Sometimes we have to let go of what we are holding so that God can give us something better.
Amen!
Personally I think watching anime if it's a sin or not
Depends on what's in it
I avoid anime that dont feel right
Or just dont appeal to what the bible said about y'know watching things and stuff
And putting bad things in front of your eyes things like that
So yeah
i definitely agree with this, because there are animes that dont promote lust or promote ungodly thinking,
@Victor Davis Yeah and then there's stuff like High School DXD and even before that I stop. I only watch proven mainstream stuff. (Hunter x Hunter, Naruto, db, One Piece, etc.) even some episodes can be iffy at times
But, please I pray thee, that you will take heed because the devil might use the media as his device to deceive us.
@Renegade you really should be careful then m8
@Victor Davis Avoid secular anime. Stick to prayer and bible
Dude this is great insight.. thanks for making this my bro!

At one point in time I was into anime so much never had time for GOD and didn’t really read my bible, always had a bad attitude until one day GOD opened my eyes and led me towards HIM and made me as I am right now in which I don’t watch anime anymore and changed my personality and I feel much better and much closer to GOD than ever before.
I have been looking and looking and looking for someone who loves God more than anything on RUclips and this is one of those channels I truly truly thank God for, so much good advice man thank you and God bless!
Amen❤ so true, the love of God radiates of him.
I simply watch anime for fun, but I don’t lust after the characters or watch hentai. I don’t create it as an idol, like everything else I watch and do. I can appreciate and praise God in the way that people create beautiful stories and art from overseas and where I live.
Agreed.. I love dragon ball… DC and marvel are trash tho. Lol.
@@syza I’ve already been changing… I love god more than anything. Dragonball is a fictional action show.. it is not teaching anyone to love the devil or have any hate to god.

@@syza marvel and DC are not a person. I shared my opinion about it.. maybe I shouldn’t have tho.. and you told me I’m lying to myself. That’s an insult.. and as far as marvel goes, there is a lot of dark, violent stuff as well and nudity and demonic stuff like lady death as well so not sure what your getting at there. There’s nothing wrong with watching anime’s like dragonball, it’s action and entertaining, it’s never changed my thoughts about god, Ive never even thought of bad things torwards god. we just be smart with what we watch. God gave us brains so use em… but however Anime hentai/porn is sinful cause of lust… god bless have a nice day.😇🙏🏽
@@syza its just a fiction man no one takes it literally. Chill out and god bless you!
@@syza I actually do apologize for saying that you insulted me tho.. maybe went alittle too overboard there.. but in life only god knows who’s lying and how we truly think when we watch something… I am being very honest when I said anime has never changed my thoughts about god… I will always like action anime and characters like Goku but it will never replace god in my heart… God bless 😇…..
if you anyone sees my comment, just stick to your own convictions. if it causes you to sin or if you feel like you really shouldn’t be watching it, then drop it ! the Holy Spirit will always keep you in check! so you definitely can watch anime [or whatever you want] as long as you don’t idolize it. this goes for every show you’re going to watch in the future.
Finally, a comment not about legalism 😩
Tru
I have been watching you for 4 years now and you have helped me so much. I thank as a sister in Christ for your insight. And I absolutely love how instead of naming specific shows to not watch, you gave us Scripture on the topic and told us to discern for ourselves whether or not this is affecting our faith or if its worth our time. The Lord bless you
I used to be addicted to watching harem anime, because i was sad and lonely. I am a couple of months sober from it and have not thought about going back to it at all. Im so glad God saved me from that!
Thank you for the insight. Sometimes I'll watch creepy or scary youtube videos , very rarely but I don't feel great at all and just a bit sad afterwards. I stopped watching scary movies even years ago too. This clip was just a reaffirmation that i should just keep to watching my regular cute animal videos and wholesome content ,that way my positivity and faith in humanity can stay put lol☺️👍
I used to be a huge kpop stan for 3 years and I also used to watch anime a lot. So much so that I wouldn't even go to sleep. I became very sleep deprived and depressed. I was literally a zombie and I became inslaved by it. I couldn't go a day without think about it. anything that was kpop I had to have it. It got so bad but because I was so spiritually blinded by it I couldn't see how Satan was slowly killing me. I would still read the Bible and everything. But thankfully God revealed to me how evil it was and he change my heart. A lot of people in the comment section are so spiritually blinded how I was. As a Christian we should not be entertaining that kind of stuff. For it is written "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" Exodus 20:2.
What if you have self control and don’t watch it frequently for example 2 or 3 episodes a week, even though I don’t get tempted or enjoy it, I just need to eat my dinner watching something
@@songsforbranches So in that case it would be heart posture, he kinda explains it in the video about the little mermaid, with him lusting after her and the little girl probably not digging to deep into it. So I would just pray that if it is tempting you,God reveals it to you.
I love anime and K-pop as well, and so it was your addiction that was evil, and not what you were addicted to my friend.
totally agree!! I used Kpop as a way to fill the hole in my heart only Jesus could fill. I'm so glad Jesus saved me from that.
@@Autisticanimeatheist Agreed, they’re giving these things too much power.
God bless and much love to all ❤🙏 All praise and glory be to the Lord
The Holy Spirit gives discernment. As our walk with God matures, we get more sensitive. Things that never used to bug my spirit even just a year ago, now my appetite has changed.
Be holy for i am holy.
Eyes and ears are portals into your soul.
Seek the things of God if you love your soul.
Thanks for this some times I watch things that are not meant to be evil and I get horrible thoughts and I would justify it with well most people don't get evil thoughts when they watch this but your right we need wisdom to choose the right programs.
Thank you for this I hope I can be better and be like Jesus thank you for sharing
I just want to say your whole channel is a answer to my questions, I JUST CANT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL BUT THIS MAY GOD BLESS YOU, GUIDE YOU AND CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU HIS GRACE , WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING,LOVE AND FAVOR THANK YOU .
And may God help me to stop lusting after inappropriate videos 🙏
Amen and Amen!
God bless you, Brother Alex. 🙂

This just happen e to me watching the new strangers things, I was startled and uneasy within the first 10 minutes. After the whole episode I was done! The eyes are the key to the soul…. Stay bless much love God is Great😁❤️
Man, this video is an answer to prayer. I know it may sound odd, but I have fought back and forth with myself on whether or not I was going to buy Nelk merch, as they have a drop scheduled for tonight. I keep hearing a small voice deep down that questions buying this $100 Nelk item. Finally, instead of pushing it off, I submitted in prayer asking, "God is it your will for me to use this money elsewhere? To glorify you?" And this video with NELK in the title showed up on my feed. Wow. So no, I'm not spending $100+ on a t-shirt. I am instead praying to God and asking how I can use that money I would have spent, to glorify Him. This will be the hardest thing I do, I practically used RUclips since childhood and it takes up hours of my free time.
God bless Alex, please keep me in prayers. Danielle Marshall, the friends I keep the people in surrounded by, please pray for me ❤
Nelk boys is the suggested video to play next, and I haven’t watched them in a long time. It’s almost like it’s a test put in place to see if I’ll watch em.
God bless you all and I hope you have a great day Amen 🙏🏿
when you said you lusted after the little mermaid, for some reason my spirit was like that’s understandable. she’s a siren. the temptation was underlying. Idk just something that struck me. Thank you for this video. God bless you ☺️
Thank you bso much for the message. It will shall help the all of us.
Well said brother. GOD bless you and your family🙏🏾❤❤❤
Thank you Alex. Thank you for letting God use you. I needed this
I once watched Deadpool and I had a feeling not to. I didn’t feel the Holy Ghost for 2 weeks. Yea never again.
You don’t have to always feel Him for Him to be there.🙂
Remember God is always with us even if we don't 'feel' him. We walk by faith not by sight. Don't rely too much on feelings. Feelings are just a bonus.
"feelings come feelings go, feelings are decieving. My warrant is the word of God, none else is worth believing." - Martin Luther
Thank yo so much, I can’t explain how much your videos have helped me! I’m serious, cleared up so many mysteries about God that I’ve struggled with all me life.
Use everything in moderation and keep your priorities straight. It’s just that simple
Amen, May God Bless You And Your Family ☦️❤️✝️
We are so blessed to have this app that we can spread the gospel on. So many souls need saving. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” I pray that you’ll all be saved.
Great mindset, Alex. Amen God bless
Great video brother! I quit anime some months ago, and if you are still in doubt if you should stop or not, just Stop! As soon as I did, God gave me more discernment and now I just feel blessed! Anime was like a bag of stones on my shoulders because I knew there was something wrong but I was like eh... but trust me, if you choose to quit, it'll be the best decision you'll make. I pray that God blesses you and guides you in all truth. Amen🙏🏽
I started getting heavy nightmares when I watched Hellsing and other demonic anime and some of them... ( Hellsing ) were my favorite shows of all time. When i stopped watching and repented, the nightmares stopped. Anime is very addicting but most anime are full of pervertion. Personally i don't watch anime anymore because it's hard to find a good show that doesn't go against God's teachings but I believe there are some clean anime out there that glorify God. And that's essentially it. Paul talked about always glorifying God in everything you do. And so before you watch any video, anime, movie ask yourself 'how will this give glory to God? And would God be happy if I watch this? Because otherwise you will pay the consequences one way or another.
I watched the abridged version and that was enough for me. Lol. Abridged but still a lot.
You got nightmares from shows? I-
@@nhaul8316 lol that’s what I am saying I’ve watched stuff that had demon characters and never had that
I don’t watch as much as anime as I did in the past because I think I am starting to grow out of it
Do you think avatar the last airbender is good to watch or not?
Luke 9:26
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Thanks😄 geep going with your spreading the message 👍
I have had a problem with fantasy in the past relating to anime, it has twisted my view of reality in such a way that makes our regular world look terrible and lifeless. I used to dive into these worlds of fantasy to escape from things in the real world. God has told me before that He is going to use me to help other people with this issue but I have never met anyone in my life that has this issue like I do, does anyone else struggle with this? It’s most of the time accompanied with lust.
I struggle with this too. I thought I was alone and felt embarrassed and didn't know how to explain fantasy addiction to people around me. It's one of the weaknesses that keep hindering me in my walk with God. I have this constant false scenarios too. When I'm sad and down, I run to fantasies to feel better. This has been a battle since childhood but I never knew how serious and spiritual it is till I gave my life to Christ.
Satan even told Eve in the garden that she was missing out when she and Adam had everything.
In think even today, there are sinful things that do the same.
Isekai and things like it are escapist in nature. It's definitely prevalent. Many people want to escape from this world to something "better".
The real world has so much to offer.
If God has told you, you might need to follow Him. Just use discernment.
Following God always is wild ride that gives you more than you bargained for.
Ty bro, Ur voice is so calming and loving. Amen!
I find that I watch some bad tv shows movies and RUclips but to a certain point like if I find that that’s a reason that’s causing me to sin I block it out as quick as possible but if not I just pay close attention and stay focused if I watch movies or tv shows like that
Thank You So Much or For This video I really have been thinking about this Topic the past few days. Stay Blessed and God Bless you and Everyone and Everyone Around You.
As a anime fan I'm happy you made this so I can understand this better ❤️
I love all of you my brothers and sisters in Christ and know you have a support in us around the World. Anyone struggling know you are NOT alone
It holds for all of them but especially for anime, this is super broad. Everyone should just use discernment and be careful not to fall into legalism.
What is legalism
@@fyro8514 @シFyro it is following a religious and strict rule in order to go to Heaven. (but the only way above is relationship to Jesus). For example is going ro church every Sunday and thinking that it will help you get to Heaven. In other words, it's religious acts with wrong intention.
Just like what the comment above, the topic about this anime is broad but some of the comments I read says that we should all avoid watching anime which is a legalism for me. It's fine to watch anime but use discernment on what anime you should and shouldn't watch.
Bro i Always pray and when i open yt God answers me every time truh you brother.
I really liked the way you put this topic, well spoken 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for this video
Amen this was really infromative. I really enjoyed it
Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flow the issues of life.
For everything in this world is the lust of the flesh. Life govern by the flesh leads to death. But the life governed by the Spirit leads to everlasting life.
This is a valid point. Don't look at stuff that could lead you into sin. It could also be summed up as re-evaluate your priorities. At the same time I think that if your aim was to be _more_ sinful then there are a lot worse ways you could be spending your time.
But look, I have no fear of eternal hell or for the fate of my soul. We will each reap what we sow and whether I am good or bad is out of preference. In my opinion it's always the stuff we don't understand about ourselves and the world around us that causes fear.
All glory to God🙏🏾😁
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
For the anime thing it’s really just what the show is. Like haikyuu and mha isnt bad (ignore the crazy side of their fandom) but something like angels of death isnt good. So like not all anime.
What about attack on titan ?!
@Victor Davis yea the final part is next year
@@Brendenlmack I was thinking about that. Personally, I don’t think I’ll continue watching it because it is bordenline horror based. But you just have to see if its something you feel is safe to watch, really whats the contents of the show
Animes like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon slayer are animes that I’m avoiding. I mostly watch some light romance, sports or some mysteries (because I’m into detective things) I also don’t associate much with fandoms anymore because most of them do a lot of sinful things and some have even hurtfully hated on Christians :/
Guys umm i'm sorry for asking but what about manga like chainsaw man and berserk
Thank you for this very good explaination! It cleared a lot of things for me and even confirmed a lot of things for me. God bless your ministry more & more in the coming days!
It depends on the message of the R-rated work. Like Passion of the Christ or even the Bible itself which inspire hope and Godliness and a love of truth even in the darkness.
Amen GODBLESS YOU bro
If it causes you to sin, Pluck it out for it is much better For you to be called 'boring' just your WHOLE body to be burned in hell
Matthew 5:29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Amen thank you
Brooo you legit break down the bible soo well. Please do a series explaining the bible books
Alex I’m very blessed to come upon your channel I will be joining you guys on Sunday. blessings to you and your loved ones 💯💯
I read a synopsis and watch a pilot on an anime. If the Holy Spirit convicts me, I quit that series immediately.
I probably find maybe one new show a year at this rate. I'm so glad God has cut so much media out of my life.
Amen! Thank you for spending the gospel. This video is really informative!
It's not wrong to watch anime I mean if it has Hentai or anything of that manner or demonic things then it's bad I think you can watch anime but not to the degree of ignoring God
Facts. As long as it's not taking the place of God in your life.
Avoid heavy fan service stuff but would an anime with rape and murder and voice be considered a sin aswell? And if thats the case then movies and videogames are bad too? Me head hurts😞
One thing y'all need to realize is that all of these are fictional
@@lumpystilskin5367 and?
@@lumpystilskin5367 Still, their depictions are with the likeness of people.
It's why Goblin Slayer had some controversy despite being fictional characters.
Thank you. Amen 😣🙏✨
Hey friends, I have a question as an honestly struggling Christian. This may be the lies the devil puts in my head but lately with so much going on in my life - depression and anxiety, burnout, suicidal thoughts, a parent's life-threatening health diagnosis, work burnout and just losing my overall sense of self, I've been beginning to feel like it's so much easier to just turn on netflix and put trash into my mind and how much more difficult it is to open my Bible and come to God. The thought I frequently struggle with is - why can't God just make it easier to come to Him and be refreshed by Him instead, why do I have to actually put in effort and feel condemned if I don't? Genuinely, asking for help here guys.
Hey, I struggle with this same thing, but we're thinking about it the wrong way. God doesn't make it hard for us to come to him. He has made it so EASY for us. In the Old Testament, people didn't even have direct access to God, but because of what Jesus did on the cross, we literally have a direct line to the God of the universe. He is always with us, always ready to listen. Like a father to a child. How crazy is that? The reason why we feel such resistance is because the last thing the ENEMY wants us to realize is how EASY it is to come to God. The resistance doesn't come from God, but from the enemy, and the flesh, and everything of this world. But if we just break through that resistance we find how incredibly easy it is to talk to our Father. Stay blessed, love.
@@thelordismyshepherd8334 Thank you so much for this love, I really needed this during this time, and God bless you for using these words to speak to me during this time. It really reminded me of who is the real enemy here and how important it is to fight my flesh with focus on God! Stay blessed too Mia, I pray that we will continue to fight these thoughts and the devil until we are reunited with God again :)
Great video, great help!👍❤God bless you
The animator that designed and animated Ariel from The Little Mermaid was a faithful Christian himself. It was certainly not his intention to evoke some physical response from young boys. The fact is we live in a fallen world and the enemy (not Disney animators) is going to use whatever he can to make us stumble. So you're right, for each person it is different and we as individuals have to use discernment for ourselves.
Thank you for your explanation.
1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Yes indeed, it's all about our personal Conviction. What is "evil" enough to me might now be called "evil" to other person. I love anime and tbh I do avoid animes who's mc is a witch or demon or the one who is doing the bad stuffs. I tell u, when I tried watching Jujutsu kaisen.. just 5 mins into it. My gut can't take it! It makes me wanna throw up bc of how demonic that anime show is my God. I couldn't bring myself to watch it. They're just no way. Also the demon-school anime. Nah highly demonic. Seven deadly sins also I can't take it bc of its perversity. Also any yaoi stuff. Disgusting. Anyways, if some of u feel this way. Trust ur gut and not continue. Do not defile urself and force urself to watch something the Holy Spirit doesn't watch u to watch. It will cost u ur peace in the future.
It is about them killing demons or exorcising them while Itadori is fighting his owns demons which is Sukuna in that case.
i think for me, you can watch anime but if it starts to change your relation ship with God i dont think thats okay. But yea i do agree some anime you shouldnt watch like seven deadly sins etc. (Also are we allowed to watch aot cause in the op it did say praying wont help, but for me i think aot is very fictional so i dont really think it causes to much harm. But please tell me if its not okay or not.)
@Victor Davis how about naruto i watch naruto shippuden but the part of where kaguya otsutsuki eats like an apple and appearantly it makes her like god . Sorry for asking to much question im just a bit confuse
@Victor Davis well it doesnt bother me but i just thought it may be a sin or sum cause some guy mention it in a video why naruto is saitanic lol
@@uoppsdn2459 It definitely gives me garden of Eden vibes. I ignored it and kept it pushing. If its being pushed on me like...Kimi no name (Your Name) then I tend to back away. Good love story but then it directly was openly preaching Shintoism. I had to distance myself a bit.
I say take these things nominally if you can and if the anime can't help but to preach some anti god message or values then I'd back away from it.
Love the message brother! Fully agree with you! The first verse is Psalm 101:3, just clarifying for those looking for it! Bless you man!
Ye when started to get closer to god I knew I had to stop watching the Nelk boys Bc you are what you watch and cause me to not be close to God as well
It's not what goes in the mouth that corrupts man but what comes out the mouth that corrupts man
