Pray for others and make a prayer list, pray for his will to be done and ask him to show you how you can serve him, pray for faith & spiritual gifts, pray for wisdom understanding, discernment, knowledge, pray that he teaches you everything he wants you to know, that he guides you & uses you to bear good fruit for his kingdom, pray for God to fill you with a healthy fear of him and to fill you with the holy spirit, pray that he convicts you everytime you do something he does not like, pray that he replaces your desires with his desires and that he helps you to remove anything in your life that is displeasing to him, praise him, give thanks to him for all things, ask him to teach you his word and show you what he wants you to know, pour out your heart, cry, weep, worship, lift your hands, pray and ask him to help you hear his voice, confess your sins, and just draw close to him. Prayer is essential to building your relationship with the Lord so be fervent, diligent, and effectual. God bless you all in Jesus name
hey Josh this is a great message about prayer that you were giving it's so ironic because one of my videos I'm working on is about prayer I'm still waiting on God to give me the total Direction on what he wants me to teach and still seeking him on this matter but I am glad that God use you in the meantime in this video
Stanley West one mind, one Spirit! Praise God bro, it's awesome how He works. Look forward to the vid, God bless!
This is video was truly a blessing. Glory to God. I pray that God will continue to use you for his purpose.😊
I love you man. Demons must hate you brother. You've helped me quite a lot.
Josh Coen please pray for me I feel like I'm trying but I'm not being obedient I believe in Jesus but I have so much sin where do I start I feel lost
No one wants difficult things in their life...but I've learned....hardship brings us closer to God and anything that brings us closer to God is a gift💕
Thank you for taking the time to do this video, what a blessing.
Great reminder to everyone...our sins against God far outweigh what sin someone else has done to us...which is why He shared the parable of the man being forgiven a large debt, but he almost killed a man who only owed him a small debt.
There is freedom in forgiveness. I held onto hate and was unforgiving of the man who murdered my child for years. I prayed for Gods help in forgiving him every day (while day dreaming about killing the man). One day, God made it clear to me (how to forgive) and I forgave him...I literally felt a load of bricks off of my back!
The only thing that holding onto hate and not forgiving someone does is keep you in bondage. A literal prison. The key to open the prison door.... is forgiveness.
Thank you Josh, for taking your time to teach and bring people closer to God. May he always be with you and fill you with his wisdom.
"trust him when it's hard to.." wonderful !
I am around all that at work too, ppl just say non appropriate jokes or they are cussing alot guys at work are giving girls back messages at work its really just super unprofessional. Recently I was in the break room and this girl that professes being a Christian to everyone was cussing so juch in the breakroom and then telling everyone how she dressed for the Lord that day at work and my jaw just dropped becuz she looked like she was going to the club and we are all in sales. I was actually offened for Jesus and I was going to say something but instead I just removed myself from the break room and prayed for her. Not to mention all the female jezebel spirits I have to work with, but your video encouraged me to pray more for them. Obviously God highlights these things to me for a reason. Awesome video!
This was helpful since my calling is to pray full time
I feel blessed to run across your channel. Thanks brother!
Josh I just want to say thank you for your inspiring videos. I came across your channel a few weeks ago and yes I have subscribed. I am going through a lot in my life right now were I am trying to get closer and closer to Jesus Christ. Since watching your videos it has encouraged me beyond belief. This walk is not easy when you are beginning but what I have learned that once you give your life to Him, He makes the walk easier for you. All we have to do is trust and believe that He can change our lives for the better. With that being said please keep on doing what you are doing. I know I'm not the only one out here wanting and striving to get closer to Jesus. Thank God for you for spreading the good news of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Mega pastors live in 10 million dollar homes. I used to listen to their sermons. The Lord has shown me true pastors and to listen to them!
So if those you listen to go buy those 10 million dollar houses are you gonna stop listening?
@@miyelanimaluleke859 I believe there are other factors to her decision, but she just stated their homes.
Greetings from Texas Josh you are a blessing to so many here....May God bless you and your family...please say a prayer for my family ..my children ...there is much division and no unity and pride..they do not help their Mother and are not truly living for God...thank you God bless you and your family....

Thanks for your teachings -josh
Thank you, brother.
This message helped me, thanks for sharing this message.
This is what we should be hearing in churches.
You are very gifted young man. I am in my early 60's, it's been a long time since I have heard such convictions from a teacher.
Except, Times Square church, David Wilkerson and Conlin. But you are very young and are showing a true heart for Jesus Christ.
Keep your channel going, G-d Almighty is mightily using you.
Good teaching brother,I know prayer is powerful its bring you close to God,I always thank Jesus for paying my bills and wipe my debts off,He truly does answer my prayers,thanks for this teaching.
"The foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of man" -1 Corinthians 1:25
Brilliant teaching, it was so delicious to my soul to listen to it, and helpful as well .I always knew i am not very good in my prayer , despite of it God always answer it, but my prayers are very short, and i always have been wondering how other people are spending hours and hours in prayer ....i can't speak so long, i simply don't know what to say .....Now after watching your video....i think i know .Thank you and God bless and protect you and your family.
Shalom
Our Father in heaven and His Son Yeshua/Jesus Christ I LOVE very much. Josh thank you for the work that you do. It helps me stay focused on my relationship with God.

Great video Brother, you're doing well, thanks be to god for your channel. God bless you brother! ^_^
amen! Praise God! thank u !
yes It was VERY helpful
Very much helpful thank youuu...
good teacher god bless you
Thank you Josh.
Josh you are doing great job my brother. Catholic replied that Im idiot for my remark, well praying to saint does dont make any sense because they are just another human being like us. Catholics are not required to read the bible, so the vatican can always prevent to truth to be known. Please read the NEW TESTAMENT. Virgin Mary is not queen of heaven and any form of statue is idolatry. Saints and Mary dont get get you to heaven, only Lord Jesus Christ who died for our sins.God Bless
One who is in christ will *can *, never speak ill of anybody
God will continue to bless you in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless u .!!
That's good preaching brother. Keep up the good work.
youre right about god having differnt time ...everything i asked God for he blessed me with it didnt happen right away it didnt happen over night but god blessed me God bless Josh take care
Genuine preacher
Poonam
Josh great job with your teachings!!
God also likes to be acknowledged for who He is, the Creator.
Father God Creator of all things..........thank You for ..................
Also please remember that God is far from the wicked but He hears the prayer of the righteous. He ignores the prayer of the wicked; Proverbs 15:29.
It’s very important to keep from sinning if you want God in your life. We can’t lead a worldly life and seek God when we need Him; He will not hear your prayer.
We need to be righteous to be heard by or acknowledged by God.
I just LOVE how you mentioned to not pray for material things!!!! People think God will provide those things but He is not going give you that Benz and 8 bedroom house you “want”. Prayer makes us holy.
God hasn’t come down to earth because Satan is running the earth. Remember God left the earth because of sin in the world Genesis 6:3 God says he will leave.
Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
Job 1:7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Satan rules the earth so God is not on earth but in heaven.
Thank you for such a beautiful teaching l am learning more and more l enjoy watching the videos . Please prey for me. God bless you .
good stuff Josh Coen ....
Josh Coen All things are possible with God. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither than present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ.
Keep up the good work.
Great video.
God bless you bro
Yes! Forgiveness is crucial! The enemy preys on unforgiveness!!!! Lord , I confess my unforgiveness! I have sinned against the Lord so how can I not forgive others?? Amen to Jesus!
amen brother
Amen.
There were times when I just forget what I was praying about, or just forget that I was praying 🙁 . But it is not bad as that time now, but not that much🤔
Miss this guy
Where did he go?
Hi Josh i have learnt so much from your videos. Keep up the good work! Can you share with me what do you work as to earn your livelihood to support yourself and your family?
i miss this guys conversation about the bible.
Amen ❤️🙌🏼
amen in Jesus name amen
Pray for me and my family plz💝
9:46 "foolishnesh" hehe . Good vid
One thing I have always struggled with is we have to pray Gods will. If its his will that will be done, why does he need us to pray. If its his will he will do it. If its not his will he will not do it. What does he need us for...?
brother you have any podcast chanel for me to download audio? may God bless you bro😇
God is a title. Lord is a title. a chef that cooks have a name.
Brother Josh, i need to watch again your video about Binding and Loosing spirits. Can you reply to me the link please? I couldnt find it in your channel anymore. Thanks bro. God bless.
29:00 you can bind demons from people without asking? Freewill?
What's really bad is when you pray!? And God does NOT answer your prayer - why? Because of hidden secretive sin etc 😰😰
Hey brother what is your email?? Great video by the way.
to be very honest,can someone tell me why we do celebrate birthdays and Christmas with gifts? please dont misunderstand I'm not a scrooge it just these celebrations have really gotten out of hand.how did all these celebrations get started anyway?
Is the Lord’s Prayer a Christian Prayer?
The answer to this question is in three parts. The first is definitional. The second and third are theological.
1. Definition
To understand the first answer to this question requires that we define the term “Christian.” Were Jesus’ disciples “Christian?” Did Jesus proclaim Christianity? A careful reading of the Bible will reveal that Jesus’ disciples were not Christians. The first usage of the term “Christian” was in Antioch Syria (Acts 11.26). Antioch Syria lies outside the borders of Israel and the term was coined years after Jesus’ earthly ministry and after the Apostle Paul’s conversion. Therefore, Jesus’ prayer was not Christian for the term “Christian” was not in existence. If the disciples were not Christians, what were they? The Scriptures provide no specific term for those who believed Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God. In God’s sight they were true Jews, both racially and spiritually (cf. Romans 9.6). They were identified as followers of “The Way,” (Acts 9.2, 19.9, 23, 24.14, 22). This designation may have come from Jesus’ proclamation that He was “the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14.6).
2. Theological: Jesus’ Ministry
The theological answer to the question is somewhat involved. Jesus, in His earthly ministry, proclaimed the nearness of the kingdom of God (Matthew 4.17). Paul wrote that the purpose of Jesus’ earthly ministry was “to confirm the promises to the fathers” (Romans 15.8). What were these promises? They were God’s covenants to the nation of Israel. They included the Abrahamic, Palestinian (Land), Mosaic, Sabbatic, Davidic, and New covenants. In addition to the covenants themselves, the prophets had provided additional details about how these covenants would be fulfilled-especially about the nature of God’s kingdom on earth and how it would be established. The central tenants of this kingdom were that Israel would be the supreme nation among the nations of the earth (Deuteronomy 28.1, 13) and that it would be characterized by peace and righteousness (Isaiah 11.1-10).
John the Baptist introduced Jesus as the Messiah, the King of Israel. Many fail to realize that Jesus’ ministry was wholly Jewish. Jesus had no ministry to Gentiles and specifically commanded His disciples not to go to Gentiles (Matthew 10.5-6). Jesus Himself made two exceptions: a Canaanite woman (Matthew 15.21-28 and a Roman centurion (Matthew 8.5-13). According to Luke, His meeting with the centurion was proxied, not face to face (Luke 7.1-10). When Gentiles came to Jesus’ disciples before the Passover and requested to see Him the disciples were flummoxed (John 12.20-26). Why? Because Jesus had commanded them not the have dealings with Gentiles. We have no record that He saw them.
Jesus’ audience was, therefore, entirely Jewish. The purpose of His earthly ministry was not to found Christianity but to “confirm the promises to the fathers.” He came to fulfill God’s covenantal promises with Israel and establish a Jewish kingdom on earth. In this kingdom He would reign as David’s greater Son (Luke 1.30-33, 67-79). Jesus’ ancestry qualified Him to be King. He was from the royal line of Judah and His royal title was “Son of David” (Matthew 1.1, 9.27, 15.22, 20.30-31, 21.9, 15, 22.42; Mark 10.47-48, 12.35; Luke 18.38-39, 20.41 cf. 2 Samuel 7.8-17). He was the King who had come to His nation to establish His kingdom and rule with a nation of priests, i.e., the Jewish people (Exodus 19.5-6) over Israel and over the entire earth (Zechariah 14.9).
3. Theological: Jesus and Paul
The differences between Jesus’ earthly ministry and Paul’s ministry are striking. Saul of Tarsus was a Jew’s Jew. But he was also a complete enemy of Jesus of Nazareth. Not content to arrest Jews who were believing that Jesus was the Messiah within the borders of Israel, Saul obtained permission from the chief priests to extend his authority beyond Israel. On the way to Damascus, the resurrected, ascended Lord stopped him dead in his tracks. From heaven came a voice asking Saul why he was persecuting Him (Acts 9.3-4). Falling to the ground, Saul asked, “Who are You, Lord?” The response, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting” (Acts 9.5) shook him to the core. No response was more unexpected or shocking than this. Speaking with him was God Almighty-Jesus of Nazareth. He was never the same.
Unlike the Twelve, who were commissioned during Jesus earthly ministry within the borders of Israel, the heavenly Lord commissioned Saul outside the borders of Israel. And, unlike what Jesus had told the Twelve, that they were not to go to Gentiles, the ascended Lord told Saul to go to Gentiles (Acts 9.15, 22.21). These facts reveal that Saul, who became Paul, had an entirely different commission and ministry than that of Jesus and His commission to the Twelve.
Theological Differences of the Earthly Jesus and the Heavenly Jesus (Paul’s Ministry)
The doctrines the glorified Lord revealed to Paul were vastly different from those He had taught to the Twelve while on earth. With regard to our subject at hand we will examine two key doctrinal differences we find in the Lord’s Prayer. These are Jesus’ instruction about the kingdom and about forgiveness.
1. Kingdom
In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus instructed His disciples to pray for the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth. This kingdom was a kingdom in which Israel would be supreme among the nations (Deuteronomy 28.1, 13). Hundreds of verses speak of this kingdom in the Old Testament. One will search the Scriptures in vain to find any record that Jews had a hope of heaven. Their hope was wholly earthly.
Paul’s teaching on the kingdom of God bears little resemblance to the kingdom proclaimed by the prophets or by Jesus (Romans 14.17; 1 Corinthians 4.20, 6.9-10, 15.24, 50; Galatians 5.21; Ephesians 5.5; Colossians 1.13, 4.11; 1 Thessalonians 2.12; 2 Thessalonians 1.5; 2 Timothy 4.1, 18). The kingdom of the prophets and of Jesus was earthly. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus called for the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth. Paul emphasized God’s heavenly kingdom. Right before his martyrdom Paul declared, “The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen” (2 Timothy 4.18). Paul taught that members of the body of Christ, the Church (Ephesians 1.22-23; Colossians 1.18), i.e., Christians, had heavenly citizenship (Ephesians 1.3; Philippians 3.20) in God’s kingdom, not earthly citizenship. This was entirely different from God’s revelation prior to Paul.
2. Forgiveness
The second teaching from Paul which is different from the Lord’s Prayer is the matter of forgiveness. In the Lord’s Prayer, divine forgiveness was conditional and depended upon human forgiveness. Some, in an attempt to homogenize the teachings of the Gospels with the teachings of Paul, argue that Jesus was talking about forgiveness of one believer for another, not divine forgiveness. While it is true that believers are to forgive one another, this was not the point of Jesus’ teaching. Jesus stated God would forgive based upon human forgiveness. To ensure no misunderstanding, He restated His point in Matthew 6.14-15, saying, “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.” Can words be more plain?
Nothing could be further from Paul’s teaching on forgiveness than Jesus’ words in the Lord’s Prayer. Paul taught no conditions existed to receive God’s forgiveness other than believing the gospel (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Paul taught that when one believed the gospel one received God’s forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1.7; Colossians 1.13-14, 2.13). Paul declared believers “have” (ἔχομεν), present, active, indicative of ἔχω, “to have or hold,” forgiveness of sins. For the believer of Paul’s gospel, forgiveness is a present possession, based, not upon forgiving others, but upon believing the gospel.
In Ephesians 4.32 Paul wrote, “Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you (Ephesians 4.32). This is vastly different from what the Lord taught in His prayer. Paul exhorted believers to forgive one another-not as a condition of divine forgiveness-but as a result of divine forgiveness. This is grace rather than Law.
Conclusion
Notable theological differences exist between what Jesus taught and what Paul taught. To the nation of Israel, Jesus ministered on earth. To the body of Christ, the Church, Christians, as it were, Jesus ministers from heaven. Paul taught doctrines he received from the risen, ascended, glorified, heavenly Christ. Jesus was a minister to Israel to fulfill the covenants and the prophetic kingdom program. Jesus ministered under the Law of Moses. The risen Lord commissioned Paul as a minister of grace. The Law of Moses said, “Do.” When one “did” he received God’s blessing. Paul declared that the Law was “holy, righteous, and good” (Romans 7.12) but that believers of his gospel were under a new administration which he received from the Lord. That new administration was governance of the Holy Spirit under grace. God commissioned Paul as the minister of the “gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20.24). Under Law, one forgave in order to be forgiven. Under grace we forgive because we have been forgiven. What a difference!
You mentioned binding and loosing like you would use it on spirits, but the context of Jesus speaking to Peter is about doctrine and the keys to the kingdom isn't it?
It should read👉'THY NAME BE HALLOWED'👈 that is the correct way to address it, too the Lord God OK
Is it okay to fast ? & how long should you be fasting for ? Pleasssse respond
Check out Derek Prince, he has some great teachings on fasting that will help you get started
So really it is a lot HARDER to get into Heaven! than it is to go too 🔥Hell🔥 😰😰
Does God only supply for the needs of some? What about the people that you say are hungry, sleeping in tents and on the dirt?
If it was just some, the others would be dead already. They're alive so they can repent and seek the kingdom of God so He can help them better. Most Middle East countries worship Allah aka the devil and most African nations too. Christ will feed His flock fully if the people seek Him out.
Thanks josh i prayer for others ,but it was a good reminder to not be cardnal in my ptayers
It's BAD to have Problems !! It's just Not Good ! 😨😨
Can everyone pray that my son will be delivered from transgenderism that he would love himself as a man that he will come out of isolation that anxiety and depression be removed that homosexuality feelings will be removed that he will become save he well be broken from any kind of addiction phone addiction ,did he would stop making female profiles for some social media that he have a relationship with God that God will come to him in dreams and that God would touch his heart and mind and that he change the way he would view life the way God view life, that he will feel peace that God will give him peace and that he would chase after that peace from the Lord, that he will hear God's voice and He'll be delivered from post-traumatic disorder and psychosis. that he have a sound mind, that he would not have surgery to transition ,that he would no longer desire hormone therapy in Jesus name amen
Confess sins only in front of other people or does it work also to confess it in front of Jesus only?
If you have sinned against any one ,you have to ask them to forgive and then confess to Jesus.
i am begaining to understand the word of God sinse i been watching your videos josh you been really helpful to me don't making bible study videos you doing wonderful.you are a great follower of Jesus Christ would you do a teaching on the gospel of john chapter 1. God bless you an your help mate she's pretty. Thank you!
the best way to improve your prayer life is to pray. don't let anyone else tell you how to have a personal relationship with Jesus. We are all different so he will talk to us in ways that match us. on what hypocritical authority am I telling you? Let's just say I AM back. and a special treat for hypocrites
what is God name? Lord is not a name and God is not a name. hallowed be thy name. what is thy name?
Dominick59 Maxwell His name is "I Am."
the sprit that is born with us will face god on judgement day.
mans sprit must corrected before death or its HELL.
Isn't it the soul?
How do I know I'm going to heaven
Only those who lead a Godly life and persevere to the end go to heaven. Will you persevere (for your Creator and heavenly Father) to the end of your life?
@@jasont5427 This isn't what you should be saying to a new-believer in Christ. Now he's gonna rely off of these things as a primary instead of the Death, Burial, Resurrection through our Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance is for the mature. This man ain't mature.
@UCeL8BV0rTLL7WAmMaIeS8dQ Please stop the false teachings of "easy-believe-ism". Repentance KEEPS US SAVED... or you will hear "depart from Me, workers of inequity/lawlessness/sin" as stated in Matthew 7:21-23. You are preaching a false watered-down LUKE WARM gospel. The Apostle Paul says you will be accursed for doing so.
@@jasont5427 I never said I was Easy Believism but I do believe Christ alone saves. I don't even believe in Lordship salvation or Easy Believism, I only believe in what the Bible teaches. Please stop spreading false accusation saying I'm "Easy Believism" whenever you don't know me. I do believe in producing fruit but this man you're responding to is just a babe in Christ and he is not ready for solid food.
@@christar331 You did not have to say it, but it is... Does "repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" ring a bell? The first verses in Hebrews 6 make it clear that Repentance from dead works (sin) is the BEGINNING of our walk... This is an ongoing process of sanctification that is life-long. "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on
unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from
dead works, and of faith toward God,
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment." Hebrews 6:1-2. The so called churches of today are preaching a VERY watered down gospel because most are 501c3 churches and are run by luciferian free masons. Please read your bible instead of believing what you have been told. And instead of reading what you already believe (by them programming of your mind with what they told you) believe what you read, as God tells you... The bible says "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15. God bless you!
I need to know what is meant by forgiveness.
My closest sister, who I trusted and confided in about everything has been gossiping about me with my other sisters.This is very painful but, I believe I have forgiven her.
I am not attempting to call her , she lives in another country, but if she ever has the courage to call me, I know I will speak to her. Is it wrong if I do not make an effort to call her, since there is nothing to talk about anyway?
How do I know if I have forgiven ?
beau chateau - Ask God to take all the bitterness that you may still have for your sister and wash it away. Keep praying for this and you will know when He has helped you. You are not just forgiving her for her, most importantly you are forgiving her for you because God asks you to, since He has sent His only Son to die to forgive your sins too.
Thank you so much.
You're very welcome. Hence the term "Let go and let God"... HEAL YOU!!! Search RUclips for: Josh Coen Forgiveness
Your thoughts is so beautiful as you mam.
Josh brother why would a God who says let no man charge God with testing man. For God can not be tempted nor hold evil in heart. God can not be tempted by evil neither can He test man with evil . And as you say according to God’s Word why would a God who already knows our circumstances and what lays in our hearts and who knows what we will do and the outcome test us knowing already everything we will do, need to test us to see if we will be faithful. Dude that’s just wrong.
