Whatever happens in our lives that's because God allows it. All because of our good. He Loves us. Praise God. God bless you.
Amen! Well said:)
Right
I agree with what you said but I don't agree with the "All because of our good". He loves us no matter what path we choose. I don't believe God rewards us because of our good, rather we are all sinners. Instead I believe we a gifted blessings undeservingly, because of our faith in the grace of Christ. Faith meaning; making God our lord and us his servants.
edit: reply if you think otherwise so we can grow together.
@@justapodcast4991 true. Mans problem is God is good. And we are evil
Regarding this sooo asked question as to why God allows evil in the world, I think we tend to forget that God is not only sovereign but also just. There are laws, that even though He made/placed, He also abides by. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's law, the result was death. God is powerful and sovereign enough to have said, "Oh ok, I'll let this one go, but don't do it again", but that would make him a law breaker of His own laws and give way for other laws to be broken as well, like the law of faith...God could've changed His mind on that as well and say that any amount of faith is useless. That would make him a liar and He is not a liar. There is something He gave us all, that would be free will...freedom to choose, with consequences-good or bad. If He took that away from us, He would not be a good and just God, He would be a dictator, which He is not. So if God could find a loophole for death, which was Christ Jesus's shedding of His blood, than He will find a loophole for His sovereign plan in our lives...including relationships. All we have to do is follow the manual...His Word (The Bible), ask God (in the name of Jesus Christ) to free us from temptation and ask that He sends His Holy Spirit to guide us and give us wisdom in this life. Is this going to be easy? No! But as the saying says, "easy come, easy go" and salvation is not something that we want it to go easily. Sorry for the long comment Mark...I'm a student that has a lot to learn, please tell me if you feel I'm off on anything I've written. God bless.
Amen!
Rose Morales on point sister in Christ!!!
Rose Morales Your analysis was God sent... Couldn’t have said it any better
🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾
👍
Holding on to God! No matter who, where, when, how, why and what may come up!he's there and he'll be there forever:)
In the Name of holy Jesus! Amen.
Amen, yes your clear on what you post on this message of missing out on your blessings. People have to be hungry for theyre blessings. Instead of being hungry on sin and think they going to come on time for what God has for them. God doesn't gamble your blessings or negotiate them. Sometimes we still come on time to receive it. But that's because we came to our senses on time before it was going to be too late. God bless you.🌷
Migdalia Mojica yyou were talking to me.....:-)
Thank you, for answering this subject "God's will"....The church sometimes can be confusing on God's will I like what you said God's will is his Word... His word is our provision for all. That's why he says for us to learn and live his Word.:)
Debra Calhoun, amen :)
brother you are awesome. ! thank you for the clarity. God surely is using you!
Thanks for the encouragement Diego, God bless!
This word is living and applicable even today, as I sought clarity on this topic. Thank you 😊
God bless!
This is a great video! Been thinking about this alot lately and how sin is usually in my opinion something we get tires of and it makes us want to change our ways. Following God always leads to his will being fulfilled and he blesses and guides us in love to accomplish what we are made for love God and love people!
Amen Mary!
God bless you my friend. This is such a useful channel. I'm so happy you are doing God's work and helping so many.
Jee Jee Band, thank you and God bless!
I really love your videos brother. I've learned a lot of wisdom from you about the scripture and its proper application as well the questions to be asked. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen your videos I'm really grateful that I found clarity in my faith as I continually surrender my life to God in the name of Jesus Christ.
Man that was so good the way you wrapped this up and made it come together.
Thanks, glad it was helpful :)
I believe that God gave me the revelation that, human beings have free will, but God already knows what decision you will make before you make it. That's why he is sovereign because he will put you in positions to help elevate you, and you make the decision in the situation, but because God is sovereign he already knows the decision you will make. God is always 10/20 miles ahead and can see the future for you. That's why he is sovereign and that's also why you have your own free will.
Wow! This is good! Thanks for the video! Romans 12:1, 2 came to mind while you were sharing.
Essentially, it all goes back to knowing God's word and obeying it.
I’m going through a current struggle which I am not sure if it’s Gods will or my stubbornness. I am continuing to pray into Gods plans for my life .. however the impatience is now hitting its 10 year mark ...
Super! 👏 This brought so much more clarity to me about the two different wills!
Thank you! I was just thinking about this topic today and wondering if our struggles with sin could get in the way of God's will for our lives
L M you are welcome :)
I Bless God for this Word today. Sure, If I am trying to live a life that pleases God, I do not need to worry about His good plan for me.
Thank you for the clear teaching.
Could be that sometimes we put ourselves in situations that God didnt think for us and is not God allowing but us doing our own way...?
I made mistakes and i think was because I was doing my own way and not waiting in Gods will and grace.. But could be that God can turn your bad situation in a good one..
good video. blessings.
Thanks for sharing :)
Powerfull words, thanks mark
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man I really love your channel. Its been so helpful and encouraging in my life.
Do you have any book recommendations on the topic of God's sovereign will and God's prescribed will? I would love to dig deeper into this. Great video!!
Nothing comes to mind but you may want to look at resources by John Piper. He calls it "Gods will of command" I learned a lot from him. Just google stuff my him or visit DesiringGod.org
Thank you!!
Great teaching!
Just Me, thanks :)
Brother Mark, thank you so much for your video. This channel has been a blessing to me during this season. God bless your work. I have been struggling a lot lately with the Will of God concept, two years ago I ended a relationship I had with a godly man because of our theological differences (we belong to different church denomination) and for the past year I have had this regret feeling so intense that I might have missed the will of God in my marriage. I tried to restore it but he refused. How can I know if I missed what God has for me or not? -thanks, blessings
You did a Great Job ,breaking this down !! Thank you
Lauraç Baier my pleasure, thanks for the encouragement:)
Just Put God first to save the trouble
This was soooo amazing!! Thanks you!! God Bless!!!
Thank u for this teaching
😳😱me when I saw this. Cause I was definitely saying this. I even commented on one of video yesterday with this question. But I am praying God. I am praying that He has mercy on me. Oh Father I am sorry for not going forward when you said go please have mercy oh lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much! I really needed this
Great teaching
Thanks Tambudzai Nyenwa!

Awesome message!
Amen, glad it was helpful Miriam :)
Tq Mark .
My pleasure!
Thank you for explanation. :)
God bless!
Brilliant!! Makes so much sense😀
It is God’s will that man has free will.
So bless !❤️
Awesome video, really helped me (,:
Amen, glad to hear this!
Great video thank you
"Does will of God", not, "says, will of god" WORDS VS. ACTIONS
your videos are awesome
Basically if you don't live in sin you can toss a dice to find out who is the one for you.
Does my actions determine what God will is in my life? If I want this guy to be my husband does it mean I can everything to get him to marry me even though God will for me isn’t to marry that man? What we do can makes miss God will. But Can we earn God favor? By doing good? Maybe yes!
Amen
I would find a video on christian birth control very helpful!
ignoranceisabitch So would I!
Christian birth control is called natural family planning some religions are completely against any form of control besides abstinence in the end though it's always a personal decision Catholics are 100 percent against birth control because it's not believing in God's will and timing for children.
Abstinence is the way my friend. Except you're married, I guess.....
Sweet a calvinist :)
Do you believe human are autonomously free to make a chose to receive the Gospel or God predetermines the choice?
Is there ever a point as a Christian man , after following God’s guidelines , that I have any say so in relationship and marriage?
You can say yes or no to obeying God, but saying no adds unpleasant consequences and removes His best blessings. A better question to ask is "why would you want to rebel against a good God's good plans for you?"
Proverbs 10:22 NLT
The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
James 1:12-18 NLT
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.
I appreciate your response , thank you . It still does not answer my question - so I think I’m struggling with only my own rebellious heart .
What if I think I missed the person Abba wanted me to marry and now they are enggaged.
I missed the will of God cause sin, I regret it so bad, ( I repented) can I expect another godly Man in my life? Or my opportunity to have a godly Man in my life is completely gone? 😭 Sorry about my English, I'm from Mexico
@Clarita C Barreto I KNOW we serve an AWESOME GOD! A God of opportunities!! If we TRULY repent He will give us another opportunity! Thank you Lord for your Mercy
@Clarita C Barreto amen sister!! me too, I'm so happy now!, 😁❤️😁❤️ Blessings for you ❤️
The Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment would be farces if "free will to choose" was not true. Think on these things:. how could souls be judged and held responsible if they were predestined without free will? Is that just?.
How should I get a original bible in English?
You can read the Bible for free on this website www.biblegateway.com/

If God, it doesn't happen hehe
Can someone please be my girlfriend. I’m 27 years old male. I’ve been on dateing website but nothing has happened. Maybe I’m too ugly or something.
UKVATO don’t rush buddy, I didn’t lose my virginity until I was 28. Pray that the Lord will provide you a woman. But before you can love a girl, learn to love yourself and your relationship with Jesus. No one is ugly, only in spirit, God doesn’t make mistakes and he has someone for you, be patient. God bless you my brother.
I agree with them both.....but we can be penpals, if you like that is........+2348118608953....Vanessa
+Prayerwarrior 88 God doesn't send a "woman" for you to "lose your virginity". That's Satan. God favors the man who finds a WIFE.
Proverbs 18:22 NLT
- The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.
