“Where there is no VISION, the people are let loose, But blessed is he who guards the Torah.” Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 29:18 TS2009 bible.com/bible/316/pro.29.18.TS2009
instead of 'i want' shift your thinking to 'i have'...'i want' still expresses to your brain a feeling in your body of LACK...thinking of the things you already have brings a feeling of gratitude and GRATITUDE brings blessings..god does impossible math! ...love god love your neighbor...loving god starts with 'thank you heavenly father!' loving your neighbor starts with empathy
heavenly father, please help me to put you first in my life, help me remember that you alone are worthy of worship and to ignore the trappings of this mortal life, help me think good things, say good things and do good things in your name, help me to keep a day of rest, help me honor my parents, help me protect life, help me be faithful to those i love, help me respect the property, time, relationships, gifts, value, and rights of others, help me to bear true testimony, help me to celebrate the success, achievements, talents, and beauty of others...in the name of jeshua, amen!
I was meant to hear this message. My daughter died June 2022 and then my husband died August 2024 in a most violent tractor trailer accident. While my daughter’s death brought me to the Father’s doorstep, my husband’s death “Sparta” kicked me inside. The fear of being alone and without the covering of my spouse allowed the PTSD (from past trauma) to almost take over. Those “I’m not good enough” moments forced me to my knees. I’ve handed everything over to Him. Whatever He has planned for me, I graciously and eagerly accept. Understanding His covering has been a salve and it has been healing. Thank you so much for this morning. Shalom
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter and husband. So thankful that you are experiencing the Agapa love and protection of our Heavenly Father. Wishing you the very best 🙏♥️
This is so powerful. A hard testimony to share, for sure, but one that WILL change hearts of others, even if just one. I am so sorry for your loss...such loss. Praise Jesus that you found our strong loving God to be your firm foundation to guide you through the suffering and all the other emotions that come with it. Sending you hugs and prayers. God bless you, dear sister
Thank you for sharing, I will not pretend to know the level of your loss, however I lost my wife of forty years to suicide in June 2023. I pray now for your continued healing, I think it is a process the Father works in us, learning to walk alone, but not alone because of "the friend who sticks closer than a brother ". Thank you again. Shalom
Last night I contemplated giving up on my marriage and walking away, feeling sorry for myself and blaming it all on me being "not good enough. " This morning I watched your video and your words resonated with me deeply; its exactly what I needed to hear. I've just said a prayer and asked God to allow me to lean on Him and put my trust in Him and allow His will to be done. Your words, "be attractive to what you want to attract " is profound and has made me see that self pity will get me nowhere. Thank you, and God bless you!
Kudos to you, dear Sir! My God richly nurture you as you restart. That's what it's all about, getting up & back into the ring. If you're not familiar with that speech of Teddy Roosevelt, "The Man in the Arena," I encourage you to look it up, it's very inspiring & it sounds like you're that man that keeps getting back up to try again, good for you!!! 💙🕯🔥🎶✨️🎵🤔📯🤺🧗♂️🏋♂️⛹️
"What if the world doesn't end, and we squandered this one life we were given - this one physical life - squandered it, stuck in cycles and patterns of fear instead of truly living, instead of being the hands and feet of the Most High...." ~ Bear
I needed to hear this this morning. Been down lately. Just too much evil in the world. Pulling back to my own. As you said I have the bad what if plan. Now I need to focus on the good. Praise God, my Lord Jesus. He is my savior. I thank Him for ministering to me this morning through you. May you always be blessed.
Aww, my dear brother.. you about done me in there! 😳😬🙄🥺😖😭 I felt like I was in a dear friend's living room, 1:1, fireside chat that the Holy Spirit planned ahead for me! Thank You, Abba! The kindness & intensity in those deep brown eyes of yours as the Holy Spirit spoke through you with tenderness, truth, and His authority & power...brings me to grateful tears that my Abba just spoke "PEACE, BE STILL" to my anguished, inconsolable, broken heart. I'm almost 70, single, in a small apartment & in intense chronic pain. I've been feeling so unprepared for all the "what if's" though I have done the best prepping I can for the last 4 years on a fixed budget in a very small space. I've gotten fixated on all the lack, all the what if's I'm not prepared for. I've been fixated my vulnerabilities in my physical, emotional, social & financial inadequacies, which is not consistent with "the mind of Christ," not glorifying to Him! My focus has been completely fear & dread-based, living in a worst case scenario/survival mentality. You're so right! That's squandering the life the Father has put in me & was/is not His purpose! Idk how much time I have left on this earth, but it's time for me to repent & with His grace, change my paradigm to what you're suggesting. Thank you so much for this precious chat, no joking around, just a sweet, but deep discussion of the balance we are meant to have in this life! Thank You, Abba, for speaking through this precious brother & leading me to this! I'm about to watch it for the 3rd time & take notes! 😅 Love you, my dear brother! ❤
I too lost my only child precious daughter in 2022, she was 26 and victim of horrible CV protocol. I still have anger issues with broken government and broken healthcare, all due to greed and power . The loss is profound. But remind myself it had to pass by Abba Father's eyes and He allowed it and left me here I believe with a message of hope, for this life is but a journey. Just watched Evan's funeral service yesterday on Shabbat, 3rd yr anniversary and grief is still so great, cam be paralyzing💔 I so needed this message today - to remind that my journey is not yet complete. I ask Father to help rekindle my flame to shine His light in this dark world, in my little corner - Yahshua the light of the world, our salvation and ultimate redemption unto our Abba Father for eternity to come. And I know I will see my sweet girl again - long story, but I am hanging on to His promise that he gave long ago! ✝️🌅
I Love You Bear❤❤❤. I am a 65 yr old female and live alone, no family and very few friends. I don't fear death. This can't be all there is. There has to be something better than this. Maybe the good life begins with this life's death? Thank You.❤🙏🏼❤️ Flip our script to high vibes and Love

Praise the father and his willingness to allow some of us to help others in this life. Thank you brother bear for being willing to say yes in this life. You have helped me make such a difference in my household alone. I hope one day I can be baptized in good company. Shalmon and blessings to all.
Beautiful message, Bear-man...presented in your deeply heartful way. This, Dear Fam here, is perfect example of the Spirit shining with such energy that no evil could possibly remain in it's presence...talk about a Force of reckoning! Indeed, WE are the Saviors we are looking for. Blessings to the gathering of the Hearts-full. Love, always & all ways.
Thanks Bear. This just happened to me. I was all spun up about something possibly bad for someone I love. The peace disappeared and worry and anxiety set in. I started praying and praying, not for an outcome but for strength to accept Yahs will and to have some peace in the interim. Yahweh has granted this to me to focus on the positive and what I can vs cannot control. I still do not know the outcome but I can breathe and function. Praise Yah.
Dear Brother,thank you! You have probably saved many lives with this video! We are called to be salt and light. I take this as a personal challenge this year! I have allowed myself to slide into that negative mind set and I am ashamed because I know my Gid is good and gracious.and I need to do better.Thank you for helping my flame grow I hope to be able to do something to help the world so I can hear God say “ Well done good and faithful servant “ Bless you mightily Bear 🙏🏻🤗💖
Thank you Bear ~ did not realize this was exactly what I needed to hear this morning. “… Squandering our life … stuck in cycles and patterns of fear instead of truly living, instead of being the hands and feet of the Most High…” was a call to my aching heart and soul to regroup and refocus.
Thank you Bear. I desperately needed this message right now in a time of great personal sorrow and finding myself re-entering my own cycle of negative thinking. Your message found me just in the knick of time... Right at the top of my playlist. I've been at a junction of my life since 2020 where I've been forced to rediscover, rebrand and recreate myself. It's been a major roller coaster ride and I simply just need to remember who I truly am and the love I'm capable of when feeling like I'm at my low points. Both within and outwardly. I must remember that my perceptions are not me. I must remember to remember who and what I am and where I come from. I intend to do better throughout this perceived low. Thank you for the wake up call.
Wow! Most excellent encouragement. This message is for everybody no matter where you’re dialed in. Focus on those things essential to living an extraordinary life of faith w a Kingdom focus. Praise ABBA for giving you this to share with us! Be blessed brother ❤ sharing
Difference between surviving, and living! It's a choice. I'm 72, baptised, follow the path laid befor me. I am no scared of dying. It's part of life. Prep for the next stage!
Amen. What if...we were Kingdom minded, through it all. Faith in The Most High over the fear of world events. Faith and courage like Joshua's in the face of his enemies. Souls are all that matters... Even in our preparednes, prepare for the souls of others to find the WAY, and a little assistance to overcome. Thank you, Bear
Boy did I need to hear this today, I know I don’t have it the worst.. so I ask the Lord to bless those who are more in need. This message is well needed, almost shed a tear. Thank you guys, seriously ❤.
Dang it bear u said exactly what I needing to hear today. My father was rescued from the snow and being at the bottom of our little valley yesterday. The issue I had is how to deal with a prideful dementia patient. I love and respect my father but it is harder and harder to deal with his prideful and angry outbursts. But I'm trying to have patience. He makes it real hard though.
Great talk Bear, as we do focus on the negative. . . A LOT !!!!! Heaven knows there is plenty of negative things to think about. Even though we try to prepare - PLEASE Take the time to enjoy what you have in front of you, no matter how big, or how small . FAMILY . . . . FAMILY & the LORD means so much in so many ways. Take that time during your preps to stop & smell those roses. Even if it's next to nothing in a lot of people's book. It's something in yours .
Positivity is always beneficial even if not in the moment. I love your sermons. This instead of church this morning due to icy roads here in central NC. Thanks ❤
This is a great video and important for many. I decided to adopt the "what if" mindset back in 2022. Since then, I've gotten married, bought a house and am now a dad! The Father has blessed me more that I could have imagined. I'm not in the compound in the sticks, with the chickens and the farm that I was so fearfully trying to find. But I decided to trust the Father and prayed for his peace and he showed me that I needed family. We are near so many loved ones now. I will continue to look for the piece of land etc, but for now his plan is not for me to have that yet.
Great job Bear! I never comment but this was your best! I love the "what if" we were able to save more souls?? We can all have one big party in heaven and put all of this life behind us. No more hate, pain, suffering, evil, saddness, rich, poor, egos...I could go on & on..humble yourselves folks, fear is the devil, don't allow him to kill your joy, live every day like It's your last. Focus on on the most high..always..thanks again Bear! You rock😅
Best 20 minutes I've listened to in a long time. Thank you. Sharing video with my husband. Your perspective will help him if he is willing to listen to this message of Truth. Instead of the lying voices of inadequacy in his head. I pray he steps into the role that Yahuah intended for him. Personally, I need to focus on the positive, less world events. Feeding the wrong dog & feeling bitter. But Yah... watching Yahuah move in WNC & being a part of Operation Mountain Relief has helped redirect my focus & energy. To see our Father move in such a Mighty Way & the enemy camp desperately scrambling like 🐀 🐀 solidifies my faith, and which Master I serve. Proof. March on Spiritual Warriors! ❤ 🙏 ❤ from nc
I needed that, very deep! Everything that you said was right on. I’m normally in the shadows, listening to you,, but I was compelled to say something, which is a great video that I can share to everyone.
I’m praying for all those that have lost loved ones in North Carolina California. From cancer in accidents God Bless You and Your family brother Bear 🙏.
I have been spreading this message to my family a lot of late. I appreciate that affirmation this video has given me. 100 said exactly what i have been trying to explain but probably a lot better. Thankyou brother for everything and thankyou Most High 🙏
HalleluYah well said, there is a fine line to walk between being aware of your surroundings and being prepared and totally ignoring everything around you without a thought or a care in the world. Listening to the Ruach is most important. I was told to prepare stock up for food this and that but he also told me maybe it’s not for me. Maybe I’ll be moved out of danger and what I stock up will be left for those that really need it.
We live life everyday as positive as possible and don't live worrying and whatifs. What ever happens happens it's beyond our control we follow the path we think will give us the best possibility. Thanks for the great video Bear it's very informative.
Bear this is the content that will touch the hearts of millions! Well said and from the heart! As for me, I get sick listening to all the negativity and bashing going on. Do we need it, unfortunately yes, but is small increments. We need this type of exhortation to keep our heads and our hearts in the right groove. THANK YOU!
We are given this physical "life" and "time" to prove ourselves to God. We're supposed to learn "Empathy" and "Compassion", and "Love" during this life. It's also for "learning", "lessons", and "tests". And all you need is "Faith".
I have been following you for years, brother Bear, and always appreciated your content so much... You are one of those people whom I don't have to agree with on every single point, but will always love and respect. Today's message may very well be one of the most powerful and important you have delivered... The fight is for the spirit that animates this meat sack that we inhabit. Kindness, forgiveness, strength, purpose... love is what illuminates the entire universe...
Oh my goodness this is me… I’ve been afraid to go anywhere overnight or out of our city for over 7 years. Because of what if… Not because I’m afraid to pass to heaven but because I’m afraid I can’t get home to my boys, or get home ! 😔 I would like to do things but I can’t bring myself to do it the anxiety is petrifying and makes me physically ill … I pray about it all the time .. I am trying.. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you. The joy I find in communing with our Creator, reading His promises (if you do this, I will bless you), that joy unspeakable and filled with glory, and knowing my physical death only leads to eternal peace is the fuel of my life here. I love Jody and Steph’s Buckets and Bibles encouragement. Bless you, Pastor TJ and blessings on all your loved ones!!
Thank you Bear from the internet. I have ,of late been thinking on the same line. Not so much "what if" but thinking positively, as to what can I do, lets say if nukes start to fly. Me and mine cant do squat about stopping that lethal event. So we prep spiritually as best we can and let our Father handle the rest. Its tuff some days but we focus on stuff we can do something about. Thanks for props today. Blessings.
I've heard of you. This video came up randomly, and I watched it. I often think the same thing...not am I enough, because I am made whole by my creator, but am I doing enough. The preps, like you said are great for sustaining life if under the right circumstances and we are called to defend those who are vulnerable. Perhaps the sustaining life is only to allow them to hear HIS gospel...through us. So we may carry HIS light to those in darkness or have no hope. I sometimes ask, how many more battles Lord, I'm tired. He always responds, " have I not walked with thee, even carried thee? " yes Lord, and I praise HIM for all HE is. It is not my duty, but my honor...to walk into the fire towards those who don't need me, but HIM. Understanding that it is HE who walks with and before me. If it is HIS will, I will survive, and if not, praise the Most High that I may be with HIM and my fight is over. Here am I Lord, send me.
Thank you. To be honest I had drifted off from your videos...I don't know what's gotten into you, wait, I do! Surely the Holy Spirit has moved you to come back to the true fundamentals of what is important. Thank you, and I am sharing this with my prepper group today!
Brother, pastor Bear, thank you, God bless. I've been needing this. On the way to work last night, I started speaking to Jesus. I told him, I give him my love and trust, I've been struggling lately with faith. I asked for a sign. Mile down the road, car in front of me had a bumper sticker.... Jesus is calling you. Ok, I suppose that's a sign?
If you asked, and it happens…thank Him for it! ❤😂❤ Keep your eyes open-it happens a lot more than most of us realize unless we’re paying attention :) And I for one am not into any “laws of attraction”. But. I am being challenged, at 55, to finally fear only God, and start LIVING. It shows our faith, and gratitude, to expect God to take care of us, to be followed by His goodness and mercy. Do I not have a track record with Him at this point??? Has He not proven Himself to me??? How can I continue in a pessimistic outlook with this kind of love in my life? ❤
Good morning Bear great message 🙌🏻 this is the kind of message I needed to hear. My check engine light went off and I spent 4 days in the hospital too find out I’ve got too have open heart surgery. So for me “what if” I didn’t get that second chance. Thank the most high I heard your message. Thank you
Beautiful message today, Bear. Thank you for helping me 'remember' that there is always something to be thankful for. Something to look forward to. And also, not to squander any of our God given time we have on this earth, TO LIVE.
Shalom Brother, Single Mama = Ear Bud Crew. Doing all the things alone to the best of my broken ability leaves me playing the What If game constantly. Admittedly, on the negative side more than positive. Looking to make a mindset change to be more attractive to the good What Ifs. ❤ 🙏
I have never really thought of it that way… thinking of the positive. Especially lately cause everything is a sh*tshow lately. Thank you. I’m going to try thinking more positive, it hasn’t worked the other way. Thank you so much! Have a good day.

I have allowed myself to slide into that negative mind set and I am ashamed because I know my Gid is good and gracious.and I need to do better.Thank you for helping my flame grow I hope to be able to do something to help the world so I can hear God say “ Well done good and faithful servant “ Bless you mightily Bear 🙏🏻🤗💖
Wonderful message Bear! God Bless you!
✝️🥁
This!! THIS!!! This should be replayed daily❤❤❤
Thank you Bear! I don't know how you take care of everything you do.
Thank you Bear ~ did not realize this was exactly what I needed to hear this morning. “… Squandering our life … stuck in cycles and patterns of fear instead of truly living, instead of being the hands and feet of the Most High…” was a call to my aching heart and soul to regroup and refocus.
Thank you Bear. I desperately needed this message right now in a time of great personal sorrow and finding myself re-entering my own cycle of negative thinking. Your message found me just in the knick of time... Right at the top of my playlist.
I've been at a junction of my life since 2020 where I've been forced to rediscover, rebrand and recreate myself. It's been a major roller coaster ride and I simply just need to remember who I truly am and the love I'm capable of when feeling like I'm at my low points. Both within and outwardly. I must remember that my perceptions are not me. I must remember to remember who and what I am and where I come from. I intend to do better throughout this perceived low. Thank you for the wake up call.
Good morning bear. I have to say this video and the previous one stand out as very heartfelt. I love the messages. Thank you and have a blessed day
Wow! Most excellent encouragement. This message is for everybody no matter where you’re dialed in. Focus on those things essential to living an extraordinary life of faith w a Kingdom focus. Praise ABBA for giving you this to share with us! Be blessed brother ❤ sharing
Difference between surviving, and living! It's a choice. I'm 72, baptised, follow the path laid befor me. I am no scared of dying. It's part of life. Prep for the next stage!
Thanks, Bear. Grateful for your message today.
Amen.
What if...we were Kingdom minded, through it all.
Faith in The Most High over the fear of world events.
Faith and courage like Joshua's in the face of his enemies.
Souls are all that matters...
Even in our preparednes, prepare for the souls of others to find the WAY, and a little assistance to overcome.
Thank you, Bear
Boy did I need to hear this today, I know I don’t have it the worst.. so I ask the Lord to bless those who are more in need. This message is well needed, almost shed a tear. Thank you guys, seriously ❤.
Powerful thought !!!
Positivity is the best investment a person can make. Its a mindset. It costs nothing. Infinite returns.
Love you, Brother. This world is a better place because of you!!
Dang it bear u said exactly what I needing to hear today. My father was rescued from the snow and being at the bottom of our little valley yesterday. The issue I had is how to deal with a prideful dementia patient. I love and respect my father but it is harder and harder to deal with his prideful and angry outbursts. But I'm trying to have patience. He makes it real hard though.
Beautiful message. Praise YAH 🙌
Great talk Bear, as we do focus on the negative. . . A LOT !!!!! Heaven knows there is plenty of negative things to think about. Even though we try to prepare - PLEASE Take the time to enjoy what you have in front of you, no matter how big, or how small . FAMILY . . . . FAMILY & the LORD means so much in so many ways. Take that time during your preps to stop & smell those roses. Even if it's next to nothing in a lot of people's book. It's something in yours .
Thank you. I am a widow. I will stop with the what if's. I know i am saved. God will provide
Positivity is always beneficial even if not in the moment. I love your sermons. This instead of church this morning due to icy roads here in central NC. Thanks ❤
This is my church and Bear is my Pastor.
Rock solid message that needs more public showing, and hearing!
Rejoice , I say Again Rejoice.
Bear You Say the Things the Way They're Supposed to be Said.
Love Your Heart Brother♥️🙏🏻

This is a great video and important for many. I decided to adopt the "what if" mindset back in 2022. Since then, I've gotten married, bought a house and am now a dad! The Father has blessed me more that I could have imagined. I'm not in the compound in the sticks, with the chickens and the farm that I was so fearfully trying to find. But I decided to trust the Father and prayed for his peace and he showed me that I needed family. We are near so many loved ones now. I will continue to look for the piece of land etc, but for now his plan is not for me to have that yet.
Please pray that Elohim will provide a miracle, broke, broken, and without hope.
@@american_patriot6218 Praying with you
Great job Bear! I never comment but this was your best! I love the "what if" we were able to save more souls?? We can all have one big party in heaven and put all of this life behind us. No more hate, pain, suffering, evil, saddness, rich, poor, egos...I could go on & on..humble yourselves folks, fear is the devil, don't allow him to kill your joy, live every day like It's your last. Focus on on the most high..always..thanks again Bear! You rock😅
Best 20 minutes I've listened to in a long time. Thank you. Sharing video with my husband. Your perspective will help him if he is willing to listen to this message of Truth. Instead of the lying voices of inadequacy in his head. I pray he steps into the role that Yahuah intended for him.
Personally, I need to focus on the positive, less world events. Feeding the wrong dog & feeling bitter. But Yah... watching Yahuah move in WNC & being a part of Operation Mountain Relief has helped redirect my focus & energy. To see our Father move in such a Mighty Way & the enemy camp desperately scrambling like 🐀 🐀 solidifies my faith, and which Master I serve. Proof. March on Spiritual Warriors! ❤ 🙏 ❤ from nc
Shalom all! Hope all are blessed and well.
Brother, you couldn’t have possibly known how much I needed this message this morning! Thank you!
I can't wait for that heavenly reward. It is promised for all the believers. Thanks for the encouragement.
Message well received, appreciated and needed. Thank you
I needed that, very deep! Everything that you said was right on. I’m normally in the shadows, listening to you,, but I was compelled to say something, which is a great video that I can share to everyone.
I’m praying for all those that have lost loved ones in North Carolina California. From cancer in accidents God Bless You and Your family brother Bear 🙏.
I listened twice. So deep. Hit the core of the Soul❤
I have been spreading this message to my family a lot of late. I appreciate that affirmation this video has given me. 100 said exactly what i have been trying to explain but probably a lot better. Thankyou brother for everything and thankyou Most High 🙏
Brother bear this one hit deep my friend. Choose to help my neighbors/ the homeless in my community. Thank you very much for this message. Much love
Praise YAH! HalleluYah 🔥🔥🔥 We live and breathe through the Spirit in me. Job 10:12
Thank you, I ve struggling with adult children, boy this was heaven sent, thank you
I like the positivity in this world of negativity. I am definitely going to use what if in a positive manner from now on. Thanks Brother Bear!
HalleluYah well said, there is a fine line to walk between being aware of your surroundings and being prepared and totally ignoring everything around you without a thought or a care in the world. Listening to the Ruach is most important. I was told to prepare stock up for food this and that but he also told me maybe it’s not for me. Maybe I’ll be moved out of danger and what I stock up will be left for those that really need it.
Amen .. have heard the same
Shalom. Please keep up the Fathers work.
One of your most encouraging videos. Thanks for the reminder to look up.
What if? What a great perspective! ❤
We live life everyday as positive as possible and don't live worrying and whatifs. What ever happens happens it's beyond our control we follow the path we think will give us the best possibility. Thanks for the great video Bear it's very informative.
What if...powerful message God bless you Bear and your family. ❤
Bear this is the content that will touch the hearts of millions! Well said and from the heart! As for me, I get sick listening to all the negativity and bashing going on. Do we need it, unfortunately yes, but is small increments. We need this type of exhortation to keep our heads and our hearts in the right groove. THANK YOU!
We are given this physical "life" and "time" to prove ourselves to God. We're supposed to learn "Empathy" and "Compassion", and "Love" during this life. It's also for "learning", "lessons", and "tests". And all you need is "Faith".
I’ve been struggling and this is what I needed to hear. Thank you!
Woke up angry at the world. This had me sit down and reset for the day.
I have been following you for years, brother Bear, and always appreciated your content so much... You are one of those people whom I don't have to agree with on every single point, but will always love and respect. Today's message may very well be one of the most powerful and important you have delivered... The fight is for the spirit that animates this meat sack that we inhabit. Kindness, forgiveness, strength, purpose... love is what illuminates the entire universe...
What if ??? Love this!!!! Thank you father Yah! Blessings over us all!
I don’t agree with some of the theology, but over all, that was a powerful and encouraging message! Thank you!
The amount of love I have for this Man can’t be measured,he’s inspired me ,comforted me,and led me closer to the Father,I can’t thank him enough
Love you Brother thank you for being you. Praise our Father God for all things. Even a Giant Bear Hugg today !!!
Shalom
Wow shocked I got a notification that this video was out and when it got uploaded thanks for all the work bear
"Ear Bud Crew" here. Bear, great video. I appreciate The Short Form Content and it was Pee Break free😆
Best message I've heard in a long time!
Oh my goodness this is me… I’ve been afraid to go anywhere overnight or out of our city for over 7 years. Because of what if… Not because I’m afraid to pass to heaven but because I’m afraid I can’t get home to my boys, or get home ! 😔 I would like to do things but I can’t bring myself to do it the anxiety is petrifying and makes me physically ill … I pray about it all the time .. I am trying.. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you. The joy I find in communing with our Creator, reading His promises (if you do this, I will bless you), that joy unspeakable and filled with glory, and knowing my physical death only leads to eternal peace is the fuel of my life here. I love Jody and Steph’s Buckets and Bibles encouragement. Bless you, Pastor TJ and blessings on all your loved ones!!
Thank you for the wonderful powerful delivery message from our Lord.
G’Mornin’ All. Thank you, Bear.
Thank you Bear from the internet. I have ,of late been thinking on the same line. Not so much "what if" but thinking positively, as to what can I do, lets say if nukes start to fly. Me and mine cant do squat about stopping that lethal event. So we prep spiritually as best we can and let our Father handle the rest. Its tuff some days but we focus on stuff we can do something about. Thanks for props today. Blessings.
I've heard of you. This video came up randomly, and I watched it. I often think the same thing...not am I enough, because I am made whole by my creator, but am I doing enough. The preps, like you said are great for sustaining life if under the right circumstances and we are called to defend those who are vulnerable. Perhaps the sustaining life is only to allow them to hear HIS gospel...through us. So we may carry HIS light to those in darkness or have no hope. I sometimes ask, how many more battles Lord, I'm tired. He always responds, " have I not walked with thee, even carried thee? " yes Lord, and I praise HIM for all HE is. It is not my duty, but my honor...to walk into the fire towards those who don't need me, but HIM. Understanding that it is HE who walks with and before me. If it is HIS will, I will survive, and if not, praise the Most High that I may be with HIM and my fight is over. Here am I Lord, send me.
Thank u for this inspiring reality check General Bear
Great message. Thank you Bear
Amen ! ❤ love the Lord live in the moment ! Save souls
Thank you.
To be honest I had drifted off from your videos...I don't know what's gotten into you, wait, I do! Surely the Holy Spirit has moved you to come back to the true fundamentals of what is important.
Thank you, and I am sharing this with my prepper group today!
Brother, pastor Bear, thank you, God bless.
I've been needing this. On the way to work last night, I started speaking to Jesus.
I told him, I give him my love and trust, I've been struggling lately with faith. I asked for a sign.
Mile down the road, car in front of me had a bumper sticker....
Jesus is calling you.
Ok, I suppose that's a sign?
If you asked, and it happens…thank Him for it! ❤😂❤ Keep your eyes open-it happens a lot more than most of us realize unless we’re paying attention :) And I for one am not into any “laws of attraction”. But. I am being challenged, at 55, to finally fear only God, and start LIVING. It shows our faith, and gratitude, to expect God to take care of us, to be followed by His goodness and mercy. Do I not have a track record with Him at this point??? Has He not proven Himself to me??? How can I continue in a pessimistic outlook with this kind of love in my life? ❤
And you certainly become what you behold…so let’s behold Him so that we come to bear the family resemblance ❤
@caitlin6983 thank you, God bless
@@LKS-1976 thank you, and God bless you too!
Listening for the second time. Too good to only hear once.
Good morning Bear great message 🙌🏻 this is the kind of message I needed to hear. My check engine light went off and I spent 4 days in the hospital too find out I’ve got too have open heart surgery. So for me “what if” I didn’t get that second chance. Thank the most high I heard your message. Thank you
Good talk Bear
Beautiful message today, Bear. Thank you for helping me 'remember' that there is always something to be thankful for. Something to look forward to. And also, not to squander any of our God given time we have on this earth, TO LIVE.
This is probably the best video I've seen done to date. Thank you for sharing this
Shalom Brother, Single Mama = Ear Bud Crew. Doing all the things alone to the best of my broken ability leaves me playing the What If game constantly. Admittedly, on the negative side more than positive. Looking to make a mindset change to be more attractive to the good What Ifs. ❤ 🙏
Thankyou bear so much for this message
I have never really thought of it that way… thinking of the positive. Especially lately cause everything is a sh*tshow lately. Thank you. I’m going to try thinking more positive, it hasn’t worked the other way. Thank you so much! Have a good day.
Wow! I needed that truth to recenter me .
Praise the Father
TJ you have no idea how bad I needed to hear this short little video at this exact moment in my life. God Bless you
AMEN!!! THANK YOU !!! I needed to hear this today!
