I really hope the crazy music change at the end didn't spoil the video for you, the reason is as you know I don't monetise my videos but sometimes adverts play on old videos where I didn't have copyright permission to use their music (I unknowingly thought it was royalty free) so adverts would randomly run. This was the case in this video (it's an old video reposted) so I tried to cover the music up with another music track which I have paid the license to use. So the two tracks combined together makes the music go a little funky! But Lord willing you'll still be able to glean from the message!! Blessings to you all, I love you guys so much! - Joe
Hah it definitely threw me off for a minute, I thought i had a couple windows open at the same time and couldnt figure out what was going on! But the video was amazing, the message spoke directly to my spirit as they always do. Joe your a great brother in Christ and you always have such a pure and genuine heart before the Lord. He loves you so much, so do i. Im taking notes on this video and rewatching it as we speak. Thanks for all the effort you do for the economy of the Lord Joe. God bless you and your family brother
@@patrickwright872 I can imagine why it would make you think two videos were playing at once lol! God bless you Patrick and thank you so much for all of your kind words and support - Joe
Brother. I feel you SHOULD monetize the channel. We are 100% ok with the occasional ad. You deserve it. Yes God called you to preach but he also wants financial success for you too!
Wow! For almost 4 years, I've been convinced that I'm doomed through willful sinning and believing I've blasphemed the Spirit. I've been trying to get back to God and some of the points you've made have helped me. I've thought about taking my life but this gives me courage to not give up and to trust Christ who I know I have grieved. If you're reading this, please believe me, God is not mocked but he is also loving.
Oh, brother, the adversary is after you to make you give up. He knows how mightily our Lord can use you for "such a time as this". He knows your purpose, your weaknesses, and uses it against us, to hurt us. Don't let him win. Your purpose is waiting for you. Anytime the devil makes you feel isolated, thinking the Lord will never accept you, remember the sight of that prodigal son in scripture. How when the father caught a glimpse of his wayward boy coming down the road, he RAN to meet him. He celebrated that his boy had come back home. This is how our Lord sees us, and he will run to meet you with his arms waiting to hold you. There's a song you should hear, "When God Ran", it will bless you. Your sister ❤🙏 Florida, USA
Dear Jacob, you must never think that low, that's the Devil talking "He's the accuser of the brethren." And you are already "declared righteous" because of Jesus' imputed righteousness. Yes we are to ruthless with sin, but God loves us despite our failings. I have many videos on this topic on my main channel search "off the kirb assurance" or "off the kirb repetitive sin" and you'll find them. Stay strong and I'll try to cover this subject more in the future because I too was in your shoes once! God bless you and thank you for reaching out - Joe
@@offthekirbministries Oh Joe, it's such an honor to have you comment. ❤️ I've been watching your videos and I thank you for your guidance. I love you sir and I'm ready to seek the Lord and be washed. It's not because I'm worthy, but because He delights in mercy.
@@jacobbyarlay3420Oh Jacob I’m so sorry you’ve been under such a bad impression all these years! My heater hurts for your past 4 years! Please believe me when I say God *never* I intended you to feel that way! I’m so thankful Joe has made this video you’ve seen it❤ God only ever wants you to walk in the fullness of Him. Always remember this: If you feel condemnation then it’s from the enemy. If you feel ❤conviction❤ then it’s from God 🙏
Yes He is ❤ And His only desire is..... He wants your heart for Him. God truly desires your attention all the time. Every step you take with God, God blesses you.
I came a Christian when I was 16. I lost my faith through various hardships and ended up 20 years drinking my way through every single day. I felt God couldn't love me as I was drinking a bottle of gin or whisky every day. Married, 3 children - everything 'okay' on the outside but my soul was being destroyed. Finally free! Quitting booze but replacing it with daily devotion to Jesus.
This hits me hard, I struggle with my anger and lack of empathy and forgiveness. I don’t like I’m like this. I keep trying but constantly fall short. I pray for God, my Heavenly Father to help me get rid of this and find my way back to Him, in Jesus Christ’s name I pray-Amen!
Keep trying! It has taken me years to become less judgmental and angry. Everyday it was two steps forward, three steps back. I am now making great progress and it's glorious, you will too.
Amen. Sister, please, don't own that anger, don't call it yours. You have been set free and delivered from it... just stand on the Word of GOD, JESUS CHRIST, and soon you will indeed see that it is not yours anymore.
Mr. Kirby, I know so many Christians needed to hear this. Especially the ones who are extremely hard on themselves. May Gods will continue in our lives.
This is one of the few pastors who truely knows god, and preaches only the lords word,and not that of man. Thank you god, for delivering your messages to me, and bringing me the light to guide me.
My biggest sin is my lack of trust in God and that is what leads to hopelessness, depression, fear, all these things I’ve been dealing with and struggling to overcome. I keep doing all I can asking the Lord to forgive me and to help me to believe. To really truly believe the promises He makes in His Holy word. This life has been so difficult for me but at least now I have real hope since being saved almost three years ago.
the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
@@Draucentff11 I’m just really struggling in every way now. I am still trusting in Him but it’s getting difficult and I keep doubting. I am always asking for His help to believe. One day at a time the Lord is pulling me through this.
Hi there, try and find the book: Hind's feet on High Places by Hanna Hurnard. It's the best book next to your Bible you can read about trusting God always.
Brother Joe I've learned a thing. True believers struggle against sin. Its not like we dont sin. But we dont willfully sin. Fake Christians dont struggle against sin. They do whatever they want and never feel the holy spirits conviction. I used to be that way too. Pray God will give you strength to stop sinning willfully. I understand because I was like that and thought oh no I've went to far and yet God never gave up on me! He wont give up on you neither! When confess our sins he is just and will forgive us. Dont you give up! God isnt giving up on you so you dont give up on you! The finish line is just up ahead! Lets finish strong family because things are wrapping up here. Shalom family. I love each and every one of you❤
When I was a mild and bland Christian I committed so so many sins in willful ignorance and unrepentance. Now a single sin causes me such grief for I never wish to be separated from my God, not even for a moment. When I wake up I think about the Lord. I pray at a moments notice. I continually obsess over God's will and Glory day and night. I still sin but I've had triumphs as well. My faith and love and gratitude for what the Lord did for me will never waiver. “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” Praise the Lord, thanksgiving to the Holy Spirit who guides us and glory to the Father for we are blessed in Him! Selah 🙏 ✝
@stefann975 I appreciate the comments but man, Jesus warned me so many times. I gave my inheritance like Esau. I am hopeless most of the time, and I am living willfully in sin.
@danielstefanov3003 my brother, Jesus still deeply loves you. He died for you, and like the Bible says "he made him who knew no sin to be sin, so that we may become the righteousness of God" 2 Corinthians 5:21. Read 1st John brother, Jesus paid for everything. Come back to him.
Mr. Kirby, you are an extremely gifted evangelist and Bible teacher. You are so loving and calm, teaching even hard topics so gentle. And the way you do this is so inspiring. You are so gifted to tell these stories, show what it means for our life, they way you are using stories and news and how you always point to Christ. Really inspiring. Thank you so much for what and how you do it. ❤
Yes Joe is very gentle. And through him i can imagine 'how' God loves to tell us this. With the same impression and love and even better and bigger because the love from our heavenly Father is amazing. But often we dont walk with this in our mind.
Feeling defeated is how the devil wants us to feel. He makes us sin so that we feel like we have no hope, no chance to get into heaven, but our God is higher than anything, and when he forgives us, that makes the devil more defeated. If anyone who reads this feels hopeless about something or someone or feels defeated by sin, just remember Jesus will save us, and God's mercy will overtake the defeat we feel from the devil! Have faith in the Lord today, repent for your sins, and you will be saved!
Just what i needed to hear!!! Been going through this and at times i feel so dirty and ashamed and guilty i don't want to pray. Thank u Jesus for this message. As always you are always on time.
@@kathyb5740 keep holding the faith and rememberChrist died for us and what we have to gain! Continue in prayer no matter what. God understands. No one is perfect but at least/best we have an advocator for our sins as children of God. Notice i said children and not creation. Sin separates us from God but when we believe accept repent and choose to follow JesusChrist we come back into the fold like the ninety and nine. No longer creation but achild of the ever living ever loving father. Blessings.
The devil cannot make us sin. He definitely tempts us to sin, but God always provides a way out. But if we do sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ. But we are still the ones who choose to sin.
Just yesterday, God showed me His grace and mercy in my life. Jesus Christ IS the chain breaker🙌 my heart was hardened to a particular sin, He never stopped convicting me yet showing me how He loves me. I'm off to try to finish this race well 🙏💝🏁
🎉 YES! This is love of the Lord ❤ Just like being a parent; when my children are sinning I bring it to their attention, it’s up to them to repent (acknowledge and accept) and then turn from that sin. The Lord will help you stop being addicted to that sin.
I just want to say something because alot of people misunderstand this verse, it doesnt say work to get your salvation , but it says work OUT the salvation that is already IN you , its important to understand this because we are not saved by work.
I have over the last few months been drawn to the book of Hosea. Its an almost unbelievable story to tell us about Gods unfailing, unconditional love and pursuit of us. This is what draws our hearts to Him and melts them.
The fruit from joe Kirby Is the best fruit I've ever tasted. This man has got wisdom Beyond his years. I always come back to him for the Word of God. Thank you for being here . So many of my Answers To questions I haven't even asked for But somebody else did. Mister Kirby Spends his spare time working for the lord. We all need take a Page from his playbook . And do our part. Share this video . To manipulate the algorithm. to get it out in front of the public Help him
Been feeling really defeated for months now. I've been living like it too. Now my heart feels cold and selfish, and I struggle to sincerely repent of my wrongdoings. Thank you for this video, may God bless you all.
the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Thank you Lord Jesus, for this message, for many of us needed to hear this. Lord Jesus, bless Joe and his family, he is doing your work and is being guided through your spirit. Keep him safe from all demons , we rebuke them in the name of Jesus that he may continue on this path of faithfulness.
The Lord our God sees all, knows all, hears all. He loves you and all the faithful. But remember, it is a Faithful Remnant. Hand over everything that we are and everything we have and we will have the victory. God bless you and your family Joe.
Thank You Brother... My Heart Is Broken Over My Sin... I Slipped Yet Again... I Gave In... And I HATE That I've Allowed Myself To Go Back To What The Lord Has Delivered Me From. I Want SO BAD To Be TOTALLY Free From These Carnal Desires! I LOVE JESUS With All My Heart And I Want To... I HAVE TO Honor HIM With EVERY Fiber Of My Being In EVERY Area Of My Life!! This Video Blessed Me! It Helped Me! I Ask Of You Though... If You See This Joe Kirby, PLEASE Pray For Me!🙏
Yes, the Lord has taken me back many times too. I fear Him more, the older I get. All I want now is to meet Him without any major sin issues in my life. It is sobering. The tension between grace and works, a daily challenge.
I always got stuck on the one in Hebrews where it says that if you tasted a good powers of things to come and have fallen away you cannot turn back to repentance but the more I think about it I have not turned away from Jesus our Christ just the known churches who literally have kicked me out from being amongst themselves and I hurt them not and God is my witness. And all because I told him that Jehovah jireh was not my provider but that the Almighty is and his name is Jesus Christ the Lord Our God and Father and I gave them scripture to back it up and in doing so like I said they kicked me out. 💔✝️❤️🩹😞✌️
Everybody is so afraid of Satan, but little do we realize that God could get rid of the devil without even a single glance. We should fear the Lord because he's the only one who can judge who goes to heaven or hell. ✝️
I have been struggling with this thought process for several years. Last night I wrestled with God. I came to the conclusion that I must believe that God is who he says he is(Jeremiah 9:24), and asked that he would restore my mind, and lead on the path to sanity.(Psalm 23:3). Now this video today. God hears our prayers, and answers. Thank you Joe Kirby.
I started walking with God and through Christ I was able to overcome an addiction, i went back to it once and I cried for forgiveness and I believe God forgave me. 4-5 months later I began hearing/feeling i dont even know that I should make a drastic change in my life. I didnt want to, then I began getting thoughts like following God is too hard or it was easier before and honestly speaking, i tried to go back cos I was convinced following God was too hard. I went back to my addiction, did it twice and I felt something id never felt before. In the back of my mind i think i was telling myself God would restore me or something i dont even remember but before I went back to it i remember telling God im sorry. Anyways when i got up that morning i felt a pain in my heart, something was wrong it felt like a grief a sorrow. I walked away from God i essentially rejected him whilst also abusing his grace. Anyways i went back to God and told him I'm sorry, but I didn't weep or cry bitterly like Peter. I had tears but didnt weep. I feel horrible and regret both walking away and abusing his grace, i knew the scriptures about there being no more sacrifice for sin but i did it anyway. Since then, ive kept in the word mostly, i still pray but somethings changed. Theres a pain in my heart. Sometimes i feel Gods rejected me for it, other times i feel he can still forgive me, sometimes i feel close to hopeless. Im 17 btw, and the change he asked me to make well i felt like he asked me to make was to cut my hair. I didnt want people to laugh at me, i cared what other people thought over God and now im in a state of just constant pain in my heart. All hope isnt gone though i think, i still get convictions i think and the other night i wept for my sister but it still hasn't happened for the sin yet i essentially say sorry God for it everyday. Every part of it, turning away, abusing his grace, being prideful. I guess wen i reflect the only thing i haven't done is make that drastic change. I do have a fear though, waht if i do it and nothing changes? What if i do it and God has just rejected me forever and alli can do is wait to die. Idk, i grew up in church but only started reading my bible and seeking God properly for myself at the beginning of the year so its kinda insane im in this spot. I just pray God can one day forgive me for this horrible thing i have done and that he'll soften my heart and help me to let go of the things of this world, approval from friends. God help me, I want to be renewed and restored badly. Do you think if i make this drastic change ive been scared to make is what's holding my restoration back, or am i a lost cause. As of now, i stay away from the sin, I dont like it at all i even wanna say i hate it, especially because of the damage its done to my relationship with God. I try obey his commands but i still sometimes think Gods done with me.
Thanks so much brother for posting this. I've been struggling with sin, but know I'm sinning, but keep on doing it. Also the devil has tried to stop me from reading the Bible, but today I downloaded The Bible on audible and have been listening to it all day and will continue to do so. I was tempted today to do this sin today but stopped myself with the help of knowing that it grieves God. 😀🙏
Guys, I know some of you have requested I read from the audio Bible. Well I've made a small attempt here, please check it out! - ruclips.net/video/TZPuhHWUSp0/видео.html
How to know salvation is faith based not faith + works or works (also not trying to say be lawless) Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. galatians 2:16 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. isaiah 64:6 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. romans:3:28 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. romans 4:5 you do the law out of love not out of loose salvation you are SEALED In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” ephesians 1:13 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.ephisians1:13-14 see that? you were sealed!!! with the holy spirit of promise till redemption , wanna say you can unseal loose that sealness? isn't that blasphemy againts the holy spirit .im not sure here I do not frustrate the grace of God; for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ Died in vain. galatians 2:21 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. how can you have peace , if you're worried 24/7 did i do right oo noo i fall short , did i maintained the law properly? the bible does say if you sin once you are guilty of all , please guys im not saying do what ever you want , because we are a new creations , the law is there to show you what is sin , but is your faith that he died for you that saves you ,not how well you keep up the law , as romans 4:5 says even if you dont keep the law do the deeds you are still saved, you will suffer loss but you will be saved , remember the greater in the kingdom of god and less ? remember his kingdom comes on earth , guys even iF an angel says something else like you can loose your salvation thats a LIE bible warn us about this an angel !! not some false preacher but an ANGEL! so please dont think that as a christian you must do this do that or you gonna loose your salvation , but once you believe that christ died for your sins and rose on the third day , you are sealed with the holy spirit of god until the day of redemption. many churches put people under law. is the faith that saves us , our good deeds will be rewarded in heaven , people who preach a work based salvation , in the end they gonna hear depart from me i never knew you. Soo that means law is done away we can go kill do this do that? ,No!!!! you get a MORALITY from god you dont do that , and even if you do something bad he chastise you make you feel guilty (Hebrews 12:5-6), but its the FAITH not the LAW what saves you , so lets say you steal something cuz you neede the money or you watch some dirty movie or had sex outside marriage and die right at that second you go to hell? see how stupid that is? you are sealed he died for your sins , past future present , but still you pray for your sins to be forgiven cuz they affect you while on earth , dont listen to me or any1 else saying you can loose your salvation or doubt it , listen to the bible . 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:5-7 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. mathew 7:21 and what is the will of father? TO believe "For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life.” (John 6:40)" Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. john 6:47 YOU HAVE EVERlasting life by faith But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. see its all about faith but you must know what sin is, and how do you know that ? bible! And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: philippians 3:9 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:4) again im not saying be lawless, but dont think your own rigtheousness means something like your in heaven because you believed and you lived a holy life , no you in heaven because what he did on the cross for you and we should do good things, but not to maintain salvation but because its fair , i still strugle with Korn , im not saved because i watch that filth? no , i am saved because i put my faith in christ what he did for me do i feel bad when i do this well yes he chastise me . So many many people oo you can't watch that you are going to hell you can't say that you are going to hell, well if thats what you think you are under LAW trying to make your own rigtheousness , your own way to heaven , or people think you are saved, but you must be holy or you loose your salvation .(nah) (again not saying be lawless) just saying your works has nothing to do if you make it in heaven or not therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. for those who think work based salvation you are under law and you are cursed you must keep all perfect For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.(galatians 3:10-11) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30) For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. galatians 5:13
We are sinners that's why Jesus Christ died for us so that we can be saved. I know how it feels like. I have been there. Its a real battle. The struggling, the relapse, the frustration etc. We are flesh and we are weak. We cannot fight this alone but we have Christ Jesus. For it is said in the Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" Get up, pray and continue to walk for it is said in the Proverbs 24:16, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Keep your faith steady and keep moving forward. Also read the scripture every day that's when you gave no chance for sinful thoughts to dwell in your mind. May the grace of God be with us all. Amen
My prayer this morning after I woke up i want to share with you Pastor Joe Thank You Lord for hearing my prayer, and right after I called on You, showing me this entire message, and through the Holy Spirit, I've been shown Your Holy Grace, and I'm so underserving of Your Holy Presence, but still You have shown me Mercy and Grace through Your son, Jesus Christ, who died to save me. I praise You for giving me daily messages and still in my sin, You have called me back home!! I'm forever glorified because I believe You have touched me so many times throughout my life, and still in my vanity I walked away from Your Devine Presence, again and again, and still here You are, and You've heard my cries, and answered me this morning and now, finally You have touched my heart, mind, body and soul, because You knew my cries were genuine and for this I will follow and listen closely to You as You finally have finally again through Your Grace, filled me with The Holy Spirit, Lord; given me the understanding that You are at this very moment leading me into the gifts and talents that I have been given through You're Grace upon me, and are leading me to what it is I have been called to do my entire life, to glorify You, so that soon I will "finally"be home, my real home, in Heaven with You and the Lord Christ, The Holy spirit and all of the angels, the chosen angel that You have given to me, who has appeared before me, and has kept me alive, so that even in my suffering, I will have the chance to glorify You! 💯 Amen, Amen, Amen and Hallelujah! I love you Lord, so so much! Your child, through Christ, You have adopted me again! And I have to share the prayer i put in after I read Colossians 1 the entire chapter!! I have never heard this chapter before or read it, and I read it a couple of times, because I fully needed to understand why it was presented to me,in 1 verse but it was The entirety of The Full Chapter!❤️🤣🙏 I'm so happy for His Grace upon me and for sending you ! God Bless you Joe! ( I was up 3 days and 2 nights in my sorrow I was going to *harm* myself last night and I woke up and I don't recall going to bed but I woke up in bed with my phone and my Bible laying next to me so I fell on my face and prayed like I never have to FEEL The Lord and Holy Spirit and I felt it, literally lift from me and I felt The Holy Spirit filling my soul! True story!! Lorechelle
Praise Him!!! It's almost as if every time I feel delivered for a time, I give thanks with peace and I'm shortly after attacked from stages in the past. He's always provided a way out of temptation but when I fall, it's the same cycle over again. I can FEEL these things aren't from me though! Even my weakness will eventually prove to be part of His Will and Counsel. He knows i'm as stubborn as they come
Love you brother! I just got to read your newsletter! I pray for you and your well being my sweetheart. May you become energized and magnified as we enter thr presence in the Holy place of prayer. You prayed for us and we pray the Lord jesus Christ has more victories over our life. 🕊🌈
I know I sin every day, I try not to, but as I am imperfect its impossible not too. But I never deliberately sin thinking, it’s ok because God almighty will forgive me. When I know I’ve sinned, I pray immediately and ask for forgiveness, at the end of the pay I pray for forgiveness for sins I’ve committed without realising. So I never take Gods forgiveness for granted, I am grateful everyday that I can come before him and ask for forgiveness.
Thank you for this message. I recently re-committed my self to the Lord Jesus Christ. But after a month of praying and even fasting, I started to feel defeated and not worthy of even trying to live Sin free. You see for 35 years. I have been a smoker and since Covid I can work from home and have even started smoking, even more. Sometimes I can’t go without a cigarette for more than 15 or 20 minutes. so when I gave my heart to the Lord, I wanted to give up smoking, but I have been having a really hard time. I fasted I prayed, and I’ve gone to church and asked for prayer.. some people, this probably seems trivial and what I deserve, but to me, it’s everything I want to not have anything between me and Jesus and holy spirit. And I get tired and filled with shame, every time I smoke not understanding why I can’t just give it up. But your message gives me hope. I will not stop trying, and I will succeeded through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. It’s good that I feel and know the fear of God and it’s also wonderful to know that Jesus loves me even though I don’t deserve his love or him. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Joe the message was reassuring. I do my best to not intentionlly sin... but as you mentioned, I sometimes stumble. I'm aware after it happens and in my heart, I humbly face my father. I now pray using ACTS and feel that as I face our Lord, I am before him with a contrite heart seeking His help to sin no more . He knows our heart, and we are truly repentant. Thank YOU for your Spirit filled words and giving me clarification. I pray to be more Christ-like and strive, with the help of Our Lord, to achieve that goal. My wife prays consistently and receives, to her questions, a Bible verse to help her understand His message. One such message was (paraphrasing) that listening to you is pleasing to Him, as He knows your heart too. God Bless you, and trust in the Lord with ALL of your heart, and lean not on YOUR understanding... You know the verse. Again, thank you. Frank & Patricia
1 John 1 KJV 🩸 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Frank and Patricia, Hello! You said you now pray using ACTS... may I ask you what you mean by that? Is that an acronym, or are you referring to the book of Acts in the Bible? 🤔
Thank you for this very encouraging video. I feel so very forsaken & forgotten by God, though I've been a Bible believer for many years. Just praying I could go Home soon and find a loving Father there.
I’m only human like the rest of you guys, I’ve messed up on my walk with Jesus before, and the only thing that you can do is repent and double down on reading in the word, praying, and doing the work of the Lord…! Don’t get discouraged, and keep on doing the will of the Lord. You’re gonna make it. You’re gonna beat this addiction. Whatever it is in Jesus name I’ve speak it you’re gonna beat it, but you can beat it if you beat it in Jesus! The blood of Christ is the most powerful force in the universe! And you’ve got it, so use it!
God is a loving Father, however he is also a Father who wants us to be obedient. It grieves him when we go astray from him. It also leads us to sadness. It is best for us to honor our Father, we want to be with him, forever. The awe of God is a justified fear, as he is our Creator. Jesus Christ seeks us to return to his fold. Grace and mercy abounds❤
Jesus Loves You So Much……… In the midst of your worst fears call upon God and He will help you because He Loves You So Much. His arms of love are open so wide for you. No matter how worthless you may feel “He Loves You” Nothing anyone says or does will ever be able to take that away from you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good * l was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (Oscar), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of $270,500 every months.God bless Andrea Sheryl Fox.
THANK YOU JOE BECAUSE THE WORD “ GOOD NEWS” YOUR SPREADING IS SO NEEDED EACH AND EVERYDAY MY BROTHER I FEEL IM IN NEED OF A FASTING FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO BREAK THESE CHAINS HOLDING ME DOWN 🙏✝️💯
Thank you Joe for this video. I feel like I’ve really needed it. I feel I’m fighting demons all the time. Thanks again! May the Lord bless you and keep you🙏
Damn, that "Mercy triumphs over judgement" really hit me. It shed a tear. Thank you man, for this video. Thank the Lord for giving me this opportunity to watch this.
Brother Joe please pray for me I lost my.daughter in December last year It's so hard to give her up She was only 49years oldI can't crying 😢 I miss her so much Thank you God.Bless you and your family USA 🇺🇸 VA.🔜👑➕️🙌🙏🌈✨️❤
Just read a poem about sin, if you don’t mind me sharing; This is the debt I pay Just for one riotous day, Years of regret and grief. Pay it I will to the end- Until the grave my friend, Gives me true release- Gives me the clasp of peace. Slight was the thing I bought, Small was the debt I thought, Poor was the loan at best - God! But the interest! ~Paul Laurence Dunbar. God bless you all 🙏🙏
I loved this message, very encouraging. There are a lot of preachers out there that condemn other Christians because they made mistakes. They say things like this person must not be saved or are being deceived. I hate when I doubt my salvation when I am only trusting Jesus for my salvation. Jesus is enough, I want to do my best because I love him but I fail him daily. I have realized I am His and he never lets go of me. Lol, regarding the music on your video. That is how I tend to fix everything by making it worse.
Thank you for your encouragement and I believe the rightly dividing of Gods word. The Bible comes through again as God directly speaking to us and showing us his mercy while giving us his grace. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Joe, for you I will watch all the way. The easy answer to your original questions is, "It is both." Then, just as you did explain with the details. People mistakenly think God is angry in the OT, but in truth He was often frustrated with the people He created. So, in the NT He knew He needed to come in the form of man to experience His own creation's perspective. Then He realized He had to take the sins of repentant believers upon Himself and prove Himself greater than sin and death. So, all who believe in Him and change their lifestyles away from sin shall have everlasting life. Hope that encourages you and others. Blessings my friend in Christ.
God didn’t “realize” or learn anything over time. He already knew, and He planned our redemption before He made the world. There must be an intent to reform for conversion, but the true believer recognizes, “I cannot.” Salvation is through grace apart from successfully turning away from sin (Romans 4:5, Ephesians 2:8-9). Reform is a result of salvation, not a cause (Ephesians 2:10). To make reform a cause is to replace faith with works and grace with wages. Trying to earn the gift of God (Romans 6:23) insults the Giver so that one receives neither the gift nor the Giver.
I never interpreted such in light of Matthew and realized God tells us what to do because this is what he does. Matthew 18:21-22 21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. So God will forgive us seventy-seven times or endlessly Running towards the prodigal returning with open arms
Joe, I know Ive commented before about how God used you as a wonderful tool that strengthened and encouraged me to let go of my sin and to instead love and obey my God. I can not put into words how The Lord has changed my heart, mind, and soul. It is impossible to put into account the things which have happened to my friends and I throughout this past two years. You see whats unbelievable is how I saw my self and how I begged for Gods mercy and yet my friends who didn't dare believe, now do because of the change they saw in me. Do not be discouraged ever Joe. One day you will see just how many lives the Lord your God renewed through your faithfulness. It is unfathomable.
I really hope the crazy music change at the end didn't spoil the video for you, the reason is as you know I don't monetise my videos but sometimes adverts play on old videos where I didn't have copyright permission to use their music (I unknowingly thought it was royalty free) so adverts would randomly run. This was the case in this video (it's an old video reposted) so I tried to cover the music up with another music track which I have paid the license to use. So the two tracks combined together makes the music go a little funky! But Lord willing you'll still be able to glean from the message!! Blessings to you all, I love you guys so much! - Joe
Hah it definitely threw me off for a minute, I thought i had a couple windows open at the same time and couldnt figure out what was going on! But the video was amazing, the message spoke directly to my spirit as they always do. Joe your a great brother in Christ and you always have such a pure and genuine heart before the Lord. He loves you so much, so do i. Im taking notes on this video and rewatching it as we speak. Thanks for all the effort you do for the economy of the Lord Joe. God bless you and your family brother
@timhadaway Haha yes let's go for that effect!
@@patrickwright872 I can imagine why it would make you think two videos were playing at once lol! God bless you Patrick and thank you so much for all of your kind words and support - Joe
I thought the music was good Joe. 😊
Brother. I feel you SHOULD monetize the channel. We are 100% ok with the occasional ad. You deserve it. Yes God called you to preach but he also wants financial success for you too!
Wow! For almost 4 years, I've been convinced that I'm doomed through willful sinning and believing I've blasphemed the Spirit. I've been trying to get back to God and some of the points you've made have helped me. I've thought about taking my life but this gives me courage to not give up and to trust Christ who I know I have grieved. If you're reading this, please believe me, God is not mocked but he is also loving.
Oh, brother, the adversary is after you to make you give up. He knows how mightily our Lord can use you for "such a time as this". He knows your purpose, your weaknesses, and uses it against us, to hurt us. Don't let him win. Your purpose is waiting for you. Anytime the devil makes you feel isolated, thinking the Lord will never accept you, remember the sight of that prodigal son in scripture. How when the father caught a glimpse of his wayward boy coming down the road, he RAN to meet him. He celebrated that his boy had come back home.
This is how our Lord sees us, and he will run to meet you with his arms waiting to hold you. There's a song you should hear, "When God Ran", it will bless you.
Your sister ❤🙏

Lord bless and keep you. Praying for you.❤🙏
Dear Jacob, you must never think that low, that's the Devil talking "He's the accuser of the brethren." And you are already "declared righteous" because of Jesus' imputed righteousness. Yes we are to ruthless with sin, but God loves us despite our failings. I have many videos on this topic on my main channel search "off the kirb assurance" or "off the kirb repetitive sin" and you'll find them. Stay strong and I'll try to cover this subject more in the future because I too was in your shoes once! God bless you and thank you for reaching out - Joe
@@offthekirbministries Oh Joe, it's such an honor to have you comment. ❤️ I've been watching your videos and I thank you for your guidance. I love you sir and I'm ready to seek the Lord and be washed. It's not because I'm worthy, but because He delights in mercy.
@@jacobbyarlay3420Oh Jacob I’m so sorry you’ve been under such a bad impression all these years! My heater hurts for your past 4 years! Please believe me when I say God *never* I intended you to feel that way! I’m so thankful Joe has made this video you’ve seen it❤ God only ever wants you to walk in the fullness of Him. Always remember this: If you feel condemnation then it’s from the enemy. If you feel ❤conviction❤ then it’s from God 🙏
Jesus Christ is a very forgiving loving, caring, gracious God.
Yes He is, to this day I am amazed by this. The lengths Jesus went to and continues to go to for us.
Yes He is ❤
And His only desire is..... He wants your heart for Him.
God truly desires your attention all the time.
Every step you take with God, God blesses you.
The war waged against sexual immorality has been hard, but I'll continue to pray to win this war and by God's grace I'll be victorious.
I came a Christian when I was 16. I lost my faith through various hardships and ended up 20 years drinking my way through every single day. I felt God couldn't love me as I was drinking a bottle of gin or whisky every day. Married, 3 children - everything 'okay' on the outside but my soul was being destroyed. Finally free! Quitting booze but replacing it with daily devotion to Jesus.
This hits me hard, I struggle with my anger and lack of empathy and forgiveness. I don’t like I’m like this. I keep trying but constantly fall short. I pray for God, my Heavenly Father to help me get rid of this and find my way back to Him, in Jesus Christ’s name I pray-Amen!
Keep trying! It has taken me years to become less judgmental and angry. Everyday it was two steps forward, three steps back. I am now making great progress and it's glorious, you will too.
Amen!
Don't give up, Jesus is returning soon. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!
Amen.
Sister, please, don't own that anger, don't call it yours. You have been set free and delivered from it... just stand on the Word of GOD, JESUS CHRIST, and soon you will indeed see that it is not yours anymore.
Amen.😊
Mr. Kirby, I know so many Christians needed to hear this. Especially the ones who are extremely hard on themselves. May Gods will continue in our lives.
I Hate my sins more than anyone else's. And I love The Lord Jesus ❤
That's why Jesus died for our sins, if you excepted Jesus as your personal saver and been baptized in Jesus name you have no sin .❤
Its only a true child of God that can really say and mean it deeply in their heart. ❤
Pray for me brethren. To overcome sexual immorality.
I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ you will break those chains that bind you. May the Holy Spirit help you tear down those strongholds and lift you up
This is one of the few pastors who truely knows god, and preaches only the lords word,and not that of man. Thank you god, for delivering your messages to me, and bringing me the light to guide me.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life
My biggest sin is my lack of trust in God and that is what leads to hopelessness, depression, fear, all these things I’ve been dealing with and struggling to overcome. I keep doing all I can asking the Lord to forgive me and to help me to believe. To really truly believe the promises He makes in His Holy word. This life has been so difficult for me but at least now I have real hope since being saved almost three years ago.
the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
What has caused u to not be able to trust in the lord. Are u able to trust him to cover your sins?
@@Draucentff11 I’m just really struggling in every way now. I am still trusting in Him but it’s getting difficult and I keep doubting. I am always asking for His help to believe. One day at a time the Lord is pulling me through this.
May God strengthen your trust in Him in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
Hi there, try and find the book: Hind's feet on High Places by Hanna Hurnard. It's the best book next to your Bible you can read about trusting God always.
Brother Joe I've learned a thing. True believers struggle against sin. Its not like we dont sin. But we dont willfully sin. Fake Christians dont struggle against sin. They do whatever they want and never feel the holy spirits conviction. I used to be that way too. Pray God will give you strength to stop sinning willfully. I understand because I was like that and thought oh no I've went to far and yet God never gave up on me! He wont give up on you neither! When confess our sins he is just and will forgive us. Dont you give up! God isnt giving up on you so you dont give up on you! The finish line is just up ahead! Lets finish strong family because things are wrapping up here. Shalom family. I love each and every one of you❤
When I was a mild and bland Christian I committed so so many sins in willful ignorance and unrepentance. Now a single sin causes me such grief for I never wish to be separated from my God, not even for a moment.
When I wake up I think about the Lord. I pray at a moments notice. I continually obsess over God's will and Glory day and night.
I still sin but I've had triumphs as well. My faith and love and gratitude for what the Lord did for me will never waiver.
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”
Praise the Lord, thanksgiving to the Holy Spirit who guides us and glory to the Father for we are blessed in Him! Selah 🙏 ✝
Isaiah 57.14-19 shows God forgives wilful repeated sins because the sinner is depressed over the sin❤️🔥🧑🌾🏡🏞️
It's too late for me. He gave me time, and now my heart is hard and hostile towards God. I just wish for another chance. BTW God bless all of you!!!
@stefann975 I appreciate the comments but man, Jesus warned me so many times. I gave my inheritance like Esau. I am hopeless most of the time, and I am living willfully in sin.
@danielstefanov3003 my brother, Jesus still deeply loves you. He died for you, and like the Bible says "he made him who knew no sin to be sin, so that we may become the righteousness of God" 2 Corinthians 5:21. Read 1st John brother, Jesus paid for everything. Come back to him.
Mr. Kirby, you are an extremely gifted evangelist and Bible teacher. You are so loving and calm, teaching even hard topics so gentle. And the way you do this is so inspiring. You are so gifted to tell these stories, show what it means for our life, they way you are using stories and news and how you always point to Christ. Really inspiring. Thank you so much for what and how you do it. ❤
Yes Joe is very gentle. And through him i can imagine 'how' God loves to tell us this.
With the same impression and love and even better and bigger because the love from our heavenly Father is amazing.
But often we dont walk with this in our mind.
Feeling defeated is how the devil wants us to feel. He makes us sin so that we feel like we have no hope, no chance to get into heaven, but our God is higher than anything, and when he forgives us, that makes the devil more defeated. If anyone who reads this feels hopeless about something or someone or feels defeated by sin, just remember Jesus will save us, and God's mercy will overtake the defeat we feel from the devil! Have faith in the Lord today, repent for your sins, and you will be saved!
Just what i needed to hear!!! Been going through this and at times i feel so dirty and ashamed and guilty i don't want to pray. Thank u Jesus for this message. As always you are always on time.
Thankyou for this comment.....going thru same....
@@kathyb5740 keep holding the faith and rememberChrist died for us and what we have to gain! Continue in prayer no matter what. God understands. No one is perfect but at least/best we have an advocator for our sins as children of God. Notice i said children and not creation. Sin separates us from God but when we believe accept repent and choose to follow JesusChrist we come back into the fold like the ninety and nine. No longer creation but achild of the ever living ever loving father. Blessings.
❤😢 thank you.
The devil cannot make us sin. He definitely tempts us to sin, but God always provides a way out. But if we do sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ. But we are still the ones who choose to sin.
Thank you for your excellent teaching Joe + Holy Spirit. This really helped clarify some questionmarks I had.
Be blessed! Hallelujah! Praise......YAH!🙏💖😇💯📠
Just yesterday, God showed me His grace and mercy in my life. Jesus Christ IS the chain breaker🙌 my heart was hardened to a particular sin, He never stopped convicting me yet showing me how He loves me. I'm off to try to finish this race well 🙏💝🏁
Once you are saved you are always saved
Sin has been dealt with past present and future
It's all about forgiveness. I can't live without it.
Thank you King of Kings.
🎉 YES! This is love of the Lord ❤ Just like being a parent; when my children are sinning I bring it to their attention, it’s up to them to repent (acknowledge and accept) and then turn from that sin. The Lord will help you stop being addicted to that sin.
Amen thank you God for your grace and forgiveness❤❤🙏✝️
He gives Mercy if we do to others
I'm reminded of the scripture that says " work out your salvation with fear and trembling". Phil.2:12-13
Thank you for another great video Joe❤
Amen
I just want to say something because alot of people misunderstand this verse, it doesnt say work to get your salvation , but it says work OUT the salvation that is already IN you , its important to understand this because we are not saved by work.
As long as there is breath in the body, there is hope for the soul! It's never too late!
Am love jou Jesus amen ❤😊
I have over the last few months been drawn to the book of Hosea. Its an almost unbelievable story to tell us about Gods unfailing, unconditional love and pursuit of us. This is what draws our hearts to Him and melts them.
The fruit from joe Kirby Is the best fruit I've ever tasted.
This man has got wisdom Beyond his years.
I always come back to him for the Word of God.
Thank you for being here .
So many of my Answers To questions I haven't even asked for But somebody else did.
Mister Kirby Spends his spare time working for the lord.
We all need take a Page from his playbook .
And do our part.
Share this video . To manipulate the algorithm. to get it out in front of the public Help him
I have found that only the grace and love og my saviour and Daddy in heaven have taken away the sin that tormented me!
I agree!
Been feeling really defeated for months now. I've been living like it too. Now my heart feels cold and selfish, and I struggle to sincerely repent of my wrongdoings. Thank you for this video, may God bless you all.
Stay strong in Christ, everything will be fine in the end brother!
the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Thank you Lord Jesus, for this message, for many of us needed to hear this.
Lord Jesus, bless Joe and his family, he is doing your work and is being guided through your spirit. Keep him safe from all demons , we rebuke them in the name of Jesus that he may continue on this path of faithfulness.
Amen!🙏
I love the Lord Jesus, who made Charles Spurgeon and Brother Joe Kirby, both of whom I also love. Thank you, Joe!
Thank you Joe!! 🙏
The Lord our God sees all, knows all, hears all.
He loves you and all the faithful.
But remember, it is a Faithful Remnant.
Hand over everything that we are and everything we have and we will have the victory.
God bless you and your family Joe.
I'm living proof of what you preach. God CAN deliver us from besetting sins.
Thank you brother Joe, thank you Lord Jesus 🙌
Thank You Brother...
My Heart Is Broken Over My Sin...
I Slipped Yet Again... I Gave In...
And I HATE That I've Allowed Myself To Go Back To What The Lord Has Delivered Me From.
I Want SO BAD To Be TOTALLY Free From These Carnal Desires!
I LOVE JESUS With All My Heart And I Want To... I HAVE TO Honor HIM With EVERY Fiber Of My Being In EVERY Area Of My Life!!
This Video Blessed Me! It Helped Me!
I Ask Of You Though... If You See This Joe Kirby, PLEASE Pray For Me!🙏
I Love you Joe. 🥲✝️❤️🩹✌️
HIS mercy endureth forever! Thank you LORD JESUS! Thank you pastor Joe keep preaching the truth.
Lord have mercy on me, I do struggle with sin, Jesus is my blessed hope.
Yes, the Lord has taken me back many times too. I fear Him more, the older I get. All I want now is to meet Him without any major sin issues in my life. It is sobering. The tension between grace and works, a daily challenge.
As long as we fear the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we shall be saved
I always got stuck on the one in Hebrews where it says that if you tasted a good powers of things to come and have fallen away you cannot turn back to repentance but the more I think about it I have not turned away from Jesus our Christ just the known churches who literally have kicked me out from being amongst themselves and I hurt them not and God is my witness. And all because I told him that Jehovah jireh was not my provider but that the Almighty is and his name is Jesus Christ the Lord Our God and Father and I gave them scripture to back it up and in doing so like I said they kicked me out. 💔✝️❤️🩹😞✌️
Everybody is so afraid of Satan, but little do we realize that God could get rid of the devil without even a single glance. We should fear the Lord because he's the only one who can judge who goes to heaven or hell. ✝️
During my times of tribulation I look forward each day to sing your video full of wisdom and love❤❤❤
I have been struggling with this thought process for several years. Last night I wrestled with God. I came to the conclusion that I must believe that God is who he says he is(Jeremiah 9:24), and asked that he would restore my mind, and lead on the path to sanity.(Psalm 23:3). Now this video today. God hears our prayers, and answers. Thank you Joe Kirby.
I started walking with God and through Christ I was able to overcome an addiction, i went back to it once and I cried for forgiveness and I believe God forgave me. 4-5 months later I began hearing/feeling i dont even know that I should make a drastic change in my life. I didnt want to, then I began getting thoughts like following God is too hard or it was easier before and honestly speaking, i tried to go back cos I was convinced following God was too hard. I went back to my addiction, did it twice and I felt something id never felt before. In the back of my mind i think i was telling myself God would restore me or something i dont even remember but before I went back to it i remember telling God im sorry. Anyways when i got up that morning i felt a pain in my heart, something was wrong it felt like a grief a sorrow. I walked away from God i essentially rejected him whilst also abusing his grace. Anyways i went back to God and told him I'm sorry, but I didn't weep or cry bitterly like Peter. I had tears but didnt weep. I feel horrible and regret both walking away and abusing his grace, i knew the scriptures about there being no more sacrifice for sin but i did it anyway. Since then, ive kept in the word mostly, i still pray but somethings changed. Theres a pain in my heart. Sometimes i feel Gods rejected me for it, other times i feel he can still forgive me, sometimes i feel close to hopeless. Im 17 btw, and the change he asked me to make well i felt like he asked me to make was to cut my hair. I didnt want people to laugh at me, i cared what other people thought over God and now im in a state of just constant pain in my heart. All hope isnt gone though i think, i still get convictions i think and the other night i wept for my sister but it still hasn't happened for the sin yet i essentially say sorry God for it everyday. Every part of it, turning away, abusing his grace, being prideful. I guess wen i reflect the only thing i haven't done is make that drastic change. I do have a fear though, waht if i do it and nothing changes? What if i do it and God has just rejected me forever and alli can do is wait to die. Idk, i grew up in church but only started reading my bible and seeking God properly for myself at the beginning of the year so its kinda insane im in this spot. I just pray God can one day forgive me for this horrible thing i have done and that he'll soften my heart and help me to let go of the things of this world, approval from friends. God help me, I want to be renewed and restored badly. Do you think if i make this drastic change ive been scared to make is what's holding my restoration back, or am i a lost cause. As of now, i stay away from the sin, I dont like it at all i even wanna say i hate it, especially because of the damage its done to my relationship with God. I try obey his commands but i still sometimes think Gods done with me.
Thanks so much brother for posting this. I've been struggling with sin, but know I'm sinning, but keep on doing it. Also the devil has tried to stop me from reading the Bible, but today I downloaded The Bible on audible and have been listening to it all day and will continue to do so. I was tempted today to do this sin today but stopped myself with the help of knowing that it grieves God. 😀🙏
Guys, I know some of you have requested I read from the audio Bible. Well I've made a small attempt here, please check it out! - ruclips.net/video/TZPuhHWUSp0/видео.html
Amen
@offthekirbministries Thank You Bro Joe, I appreciate you 😉
How to know salvation is faith based not faith + works or works (also not trying to say be lawless)
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. galatians 2:16
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. isaiah 64:6
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. romans:3:28
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. romans 4:5
you do the law out of love not out of loose salvation you are SEALED
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”
ephesians 1:13
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.ephisians1:13-14
see that? you were sealed!!! with the holy spirit of promise till redemption , wanna say you can unseal loose that sealness? isn't that blasphemy againts the holy spirit .im not sure here
I do not frustrate the grace of God; for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ Died in vain.
galatians 2:21
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
how can you have peace , if you're worried 24/7 did i do right oo noo i fall short , did i maintained the law properly? the bible does say if you sin once you are guilty of all , please guys im not saying do what ever you want , because we are a new creations , the law is there to show you what is sin , but is your faith that he died for you that saves you ,not how well you keep up the law , as romans 4:5 says even if you dont keep the law do the deeds you are still saved, you will suffer loss but you will be saved , remember the greater in the kingdom of god and less ? remember his kingdom comes on earth , guys even iF an angel says something else like you can loose your salvation thats a LIE bible warn us about this an angel !! not some false preacher but an ANGEL! so please dont think that as a christian you must do this do that or you gonna loose your salvation , but once you believe that christ died for your sins and rose on the third day , you are sealed with the holy spirit of god until the day of redemption. many churches put people under law. is the faith that saves us , our good deeds will be rewarded in heaven , people who preach a work based salvation , in the end they gonna hear depart from me i never knew you. Soo that means law is done away we can go kill do this do that? ,No!!!! you get a MORALITY from god you dont do that , and even if you do something bad he chastise you make you feel guilty (Hebrews 12:5-6), but its the FAITH not the LAW what saves you , so lets say you steal something cuz you neede the money or you watch some dirty movie or had sex outside marriage and die right at that second you go to hell? see how stupid that is? you are sealed he died for your sins , past future present , but still you pray for your sins to be forgiven cuz they affect you while on earth , dont listen to me or any1 else saying you can loose your salvation or doubt it , listen to the bible .
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:5-7
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. mathew 7:21
and what is the will of father? TO believe "For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life.” (John 6:40)"
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. john 6:47 YOU HAVE EVERlasting life by faith
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. see its all about faith but you must know what sin is, and how do you know that ? bible!
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: philippians 3:9
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:4)
again im not saying be lawless, but dont think your own rigtheousness means something like your in heaven because you believed
and you lived a holy life , no you in heaven because what he did on the cross for you and we should do good things, but not to maintain salvation
but because its fair , i still strugle with Korn , im not saved because i watch that filth? no , i am saved because i put my faith in christ what he did for me
do i feel bad when i do this well yes he chastise me .
So many many people oo you can't watch that you are going to hell you can't say that you are going to hell, well if thats what you think you are under LAW
trying to make your own rigtheousness , your own way to heaven , or people think you are saved, but you must be holy or you loose your salvation .(nah) (again not saying be lawless) just saying your works has nothing to do if you make it in heaven or not
therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.
for those who think work based salvation you are under law and you are cursed you must keep all perfect
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.(galatians 3:10-11)
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30)
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. galatians 5:13
Thank you Joe Kirby. You always brighten my day by reminding me I am His.
We are sinners that's why Jesus Christ died for us so that we can be saved. I know how it feels like. I have been there. Its a real battle. The struggling, the relapse, the frustration etc. We are flesh and we are weak. We cannot fight this alone but we have Christ Jesus. For it is said in the Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" Get up, pray and continue to walk for it is said in the Proverbs 24:16, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Keep your faith steady and keep moving forward. Also read the scripture every day that's when you gave no chance for sinful thoughts to dwell in your mind. May the grace of God be with us all. Amen
Thank you Joe Kirby for your messages, what a blessing you are
My prayer this morning after I woke up i want to share with you Pastor Joe
Thank You Lord for hearing my prayer, and right after I called on You, showing me this entire message, and through the Holy Spirit, I've been shown Your Holy Grace, and I'm so underserving of Your Holy Presence, but still You have shown me Mercy and Grace through Your son, Jesus Christ, who died to save me.
I praise You for giving me daily messages and still in my sin, You have called me back home!! I'm forever glorified because I believe You have touched me so many times throughout my life, and still in my vanity I walked away from Your Devine Presence, again and again, and still here You are, and You've heard my cries, and answered me this morning and now, finally You have touched my heart, mind, body and soul, because You knew my cries were genuine and for this I will follow and listen closely to You as You finally have finally again through Your Grace, filled me with The Holy Spirit, Lord; given me the understanding that You are at this very moment leading me into the gifts and talents that I have been given through You're Grace upon me, and are leading me to what it is I have been called to do my entire life, to glorify You, so that soon I will "finally"be home, my real home, in Heaven with You and the Lord Christ, The Holy spirit and all of the angels, the chosen angel that You have given to me, who has appeared before me, and has kept me alive, so that even in my suffering, I will have the chance to glorify You! 💯 Amen, Amen, Amen and Hallelujah! I love you Lord, so so much!
Your child, through Christ, You have adopted me again!
And I have to share the prayer i put in after I read Colossians 1 the entire chapter!! I have never heard this chapter before or read it, and I read it a couple of times, because I fully needed to understand why it was presented to me,in 1 verse but it was The entirety of The Full Chapter!❤️🤣🙏 I'm so happy for His Grace upon me and for sending you ! God Bless you
Joe! ( I was up 3 days and 2 nights in my sorrow I was going to *harm* myself last night and I woke up and I don't recall going to bed but I woke up in bed with my phone and my Bible laying next to me so I fell on my face and prayed like I never have to FEEL The Lord and Holy Spirit and I felt it, literally lift from me and I felt The Holy Spirit filling my soul!
True story!!
Lorechelle
Praise Him!!!
It's almost as if every time I feel delivered for a time, I give thanks with peace and I'm shortly after attacked from stages in the past. He's always provided a way out of temptation but when I fall, it's the same cycle over again. I can FEEL these things aren't from me though! Even my weakness will eventually prove to be part of His Will and Counsel. He knows i'm as stubborn as they come
Amén 🙏 brother Glory be to God,
God bless
Love you brother! I just got to read your newsletter! I pray for you and your well being my sweetheart. May you become energized and magnified as we enter thr presence in the Holy place of prayer. You prayed for us and we pray the Lord jesus Christ has more victories over our life.
🕊🌈
Thank you so much for reading our newsletter!!
I know I sin every day, I try not to, but as I am imperfect its impossible not too. But I never deliberately sin thinking, it’s ok because God almighty will forgive me. When I know I’ve sinned, I pray immediately and ask for forgiveness, at the end of the pay I pray for forgiveness for sins I’ve committed without realising. So I never take Gods forgiveness for granted, I am grateful everyday that I can come before him and ask for forgiveness.
The Lord is a just and righteous God & not only that but he’s rich in his mercy. ❤❤❤
Thank you for this message. I recently re-committed my self to the Lord Jesus Christ. But after a month of praying and even fasting, I started to feel defeated and not worthy of even trying to live Sin free. You see for 35 years. I have been a smoker and since Covid I can work from home and have even started smoking, even more. Sometimes I can’t go without a cigarette for more than 15 or 20 minutes. so when I gave my heart to the Lord, I wanted to give up smoking, but I have been having a really hard time. I fasted I prayed, and I’ve gone to church and asked for prayer.. some people, this probably seems trivial and what I deserve, but to me, it’s everything I want to not have anything between me and Jesus and holy spirit. And I get tired and filled with shame, every time I smoke not understanding why I can’t just give it up. But your message gives me hope. I will not stop trying, and I will succeeded through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. It’s good that I feel and know the fear of God and it’s also wonderful to know that Jesus loves me even though I don’t deserve his love or him. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Thank you Joe, May Jesus bless you and your family. Again, Thank You.
AMEN, THANK YOU JESUS
Joe the message was reassuring. I do my best to not intentionlly sin... but as you mentioned, I sometimes stumble. I'm aware after it happens and in my heart, I humbly face my father. I now pray using ACTS and feel that as I face our Lord, I am before him with a contrite heart seeking His help to sin no more . He knows our heart, and we are truly repentant. Thank YOU for your Spirit filled words and giving me clarification. I pray to be more Christ-like and strive, with the help of Our Lord, to achieve that goal. My wife prays consistently and receives, to her questions, a Bible verse to help her understand His message. One such message was (paraphrasing) that listening to you is pleasing to Him, as He knows your heart too.
God Bless you, and trust in the Lord with ALL of your heart, and lean not on YOUR understanding... You know the verse.
Again, thank you.

1 John 1 KJV 🩸
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Frank and Patricia,
Hello! You said you now pray using ACTS...
may I ask you what you mean by that? Is that an acronym, or are you referring to the book of Acts in the Bible? 🤔
HOLY HOLY HOLY
Thank you for this very encouraging video. I feel so very forsaken & forgotten by God, though I've been a Bible believer for many years. Just praying I could go Home soon and find a loving Father there.
You have no idea how much God uses you.Don't stop until he takes us home.
Thank you so much for your kind words Steve
Amen thank you Joe
Faith in Jesus will impute His righteousness onto us. So when we are before Father God, Jesus speaks for us and we will go to Heaven.
I’m only human like the rest of you guys, I’ve messed up on my walk with Jesus before, and the only thing that you can do is repent and double down on reading in the word, praying, and doing the work of the Lord…! Don’t get discouraged, and keep on doing the will of the Lord. You’re gonna make it. You’re gonna beat this addiction. Whatever it is in Jesus name I’ve speak it you’re gonna beat it, but you can beat it if you beat it in Jesus! The blood of Christ is the most powerful force in the universe! And you’ve got it, so use it!
Blessings blessings always
God is a loving Father, however he is also a Father who wants us to be obedient. It grieves him when we go astray from him. It also leads us to sadness. It is best for us to honor our Father, we want to be with him, forever. The awe of God is a justified fear, as he is our Creator. Jesus Christ seeks us to return to his fold. Grace and mercy abounds❤
Jesus Loves You So Much………
In the midst of your worst fears call upon God and He will help you because He Loves You So Much. His arms of love are open so wide for you. No matter how worthless you may feel “He Loves You” Nothing anyone says or does will ever be able to take that away from you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you brother

Just read a poem about sin, if you don’t mind me sharing;
This is the debt I pay
Just for one riotous day,
Years of regret and grief.
Pay it I will to the end-
Until the grave my friend,
Gives me true release-
Gives me the clasp of peace.
Slight was the thing I bought,
Small was the debt I thought,
Poor was the loan at best -
God! But the interest!
~Paul Laurence Dunbar.
God bless you all 🙏🙏
_GOD IS FAITHFUL TO THOSE FAITHFUL TO HIM, BUT THE WICKED IS JUDGEMENT._
👀Could you elaborate what you mean by that? (Not that I’m an advocate for being unfaithful to God)
I loved this message, very encouraging. There are a lot of preachers out there that condemn other Christians because they made mistakes. They say things like this person must not be saved or are being deceived. I hate when I doubt my salvation when I am only trusting Jesus for my salvation. Jesus is enough, I want to do my best because I love him but I fail him daily. I have realized I am His and he never lets go of me. Lol, regarding the music on your video. That is how I tend to fix everything by making it worse.
Yes, Amen 🙏🏿 !!💕💥💥
God has done this for me too. Thank you Father Lord Jesus Christ
THANK YOU JOE I NEEDED TO HEAR THAT IN THE WORST WAY 🙏🙏🙏
I hope you are correct. Praise the Lord Jesus
This is the third time in a matter of days that the book of Hosea has shown up to me! In fact, today I read it through to the end.
Thank you and God bless you too😊
Thank you for your encouragement and I believe the rightly dividing of Gods word. The Bible comes through again as God directly speaking to us and showing us his mercy while giving us his grace. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Joe, for you I will watch all the way. The easy answer to your original questions is, "It is both." Then, just as you did explain with the details. People mistakenly think God is angry in the OT, but in truth He was often frustrated with the people He created. So, in the NT He knew He needed to come in the form of man to experience His own creation's perspective. Then He realized He had to take the sins of repentant believers upon Himself and prove Himself greater than sin and death. So, all who believe in Him and change their lifestyles away from sin shall have everlasting life. Hope that encourages you and others. Blessings my friend in Christ.
God didn’t “realize” or learn anything over time. He already knew, and He planned our redemption before He made the world.
There must be an intent to reform for conversion, but the true believer recognizes, “I cannot.” Salvation is through grace apart from successfully turning away from sin (Romans 4:5, Ephesians 2:8-9). Reform is a result of salvation, not a cause (Ephesians 2:10).
To make reform a cause is to replace faith with works and grace with wages. Trying to earn the gift of God (Romans 6:23) insults the Giver so that one receives neither the gift nor the Giver.

I never interpreted such in light of Matthew and realized God tells us what to do because this is what he does.
Matthew 18:21-22
21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.
So God will forgive us seventy-seven times or endlessly

Bless Joe
Joe, I know Ive commented before about how God used you as a wonderful tool that strengthened and encouraged me to let go of my sin and to instead love and obey my God. I can not put into words how The Lord has changed my heart, mind, and soul. It is impossible to put into account the things which have happened to my friends and I throughout this past two years. You see whats unbelievable is how I saw my self and how I begged for Gods mercy and yet my friends who didn't dare believe, now do because of the change they saw in me. Do not be discouraged ever Joe. One day you will see just how many lives the Lord your God renewed through your faithfulness. It is unfathomable.
