I was just like the young man smoking a cigarette. I would leave some bar as the sun was coming up and a street preacher would be out proclaiming the Gospel and handing out tracts. I would literally RUN as fast as my intoxicated body would let me! Hearing the Gospel put a spotlight on my sin and I HATED IT. I ran until I was 40 years old, until I finally realized that I "wasn't too sinful to be saved" after all. I thought I was beyond saving, and beyond grace, for decades. I thought God would NEVER forgive me for the things I had done. I finally submitted to Christ, confessed my sin and God completely changed me! He changed me from the inside out, making me a new creation! That was Oct. 9, 2011. Nearly a decade ago. Praise God for His patience and His loving kindness!
My grandpa is 78 years old and my whole family has been trying to present the gospel to him. I spoke to him 1 on 1 about salvation for the first time ever and used the way Ray does. He was getting real nervous and wasn’t saying much ( he normally doesn’t talk much anyways) but I’m scared for his eternal life. Please pray for my grandpa. Thank you!!
God did not give us a spirit of fear, you heard that ? It is supposed to be real as in you shouldn't have fear of punishment and anything giving you that fear is not of God for he gives us peace and a sound mind. Our tongue has power of life and death who can tame it ? Lean on him and not on your own understanding. Your granpa will be fine, God says he justifies the ungodly, it is not who wills it or who runs it is God that shows mercy. Instead of trying to save your granpa with hysteria in his last years here on Earth I recommend spending time with him and get to know him more as you say you love him so show some works and make his last years good time well spent with the ones he loves. Also John said those who love are of God, I am sure your granpa loves as I hear your family concerns over his eternal life seem like loving folks from a loving father. Live in the fearless grace of God, he is not worried.
Nervousness signals Love is entering, and Winning! I'm an old Geezer like Ray, and I'm using Ray's approach, and it's working better on others, than I usually achieve. Sounds like you too! God Bless.
@@sigra4867 Proverbs 1:7 says The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. This is just one example in the bible where god want us to fear him. Not in the way of cowering before him, but because of our upmost love and respect for him. Same way when you would be nervous and scared when your parents stare at you after you get in trouble.
Pride is SUCH a scary sin. We are so prideful as human beings. This young man knows the word and still has so much pride within himself he doesn’t see the severity of the message.
The best illustration of the seriousness of pride... It's the sin that led to open rebellion and got our Enemy kicked out of Heaven. And it's the very thing he used to tempt Eve in the Garden.
@@jaredmccain7518 Hes Gods Son of course hes God. I'm my Dads son that makes me human cause hes human. Differents is I'm another human but there is only One God . Father Son and Holy Spirit makes one God ..God is Love and in order for love to exist there has to be more than one person, God is the same he never changes he was eternally Love cause before humans and angles he was eternally God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit they eternally exist and always Love each other..Thats why when God created Adam he told him it's not Good for you to be alone and God created Eve and the Bible says he Created men in the image of God man and female ,,the image of God is LOVE..☺❤as humans we cant understand God completely cause we aren't eternal we are created and have a beginning God doesn't. We see him in a fuzzy mirror now but then we will see him clearly when we go to heaven. .then we will fully understand.
Exactly! I would literally run from people handing out Gospel tracts. It put a spotlight on my sin and I HATED IT! I am a testament to God's patience and loving kindness. God could have struck me down and been totally righteous in his actions. I was a lying, stealing, fornicating, blasphemous jerk! I finally realized that I wasn't "too sinful to save", and confessed my sins, and asked God to change me and give me a NEW HEART, which He did! I am a NEW CREATION! The old has passed! Praise God for His mercy and patience!
The wheels are spinning for both 😵💫 you can see you really rattled grey shirt man hypocrisy I hope the Lord saves both of them like he did all of us…gift them and all us repentance amen…Ray Comfort much respect ✊
@Stella Musafiri Well, lets just use anything else in that statement... I will use a car for an example... "A car in the good times, is still a car in the bad times. A car in the day, is still a car at night"... You can put pretty much anything you want in there and it will work... Its not anything profound or even at all meaningful...
@Stella Musafiri Yeah, I get what its saying... And I'm saying that it's no different than anything else... You can put anything else in place of "God" so it is completely meaningless..
Sadly, my friend talks to his dead family, I warned him but he doesn't see it, the familiar spirits and the evil he is in touch with will be his demise and not a great demise at that. The demonic power he thinks is supporting him has corrupted his mind and he will have a surprise sadly. I'll try more to get him saved.
The time is coming. We all feel it. I need to walk closer to Christ. I struggle with carnal sin entering my mind and I need to pray harder. Please get saved. I love you all be safe and God bless
I have heard alot of ppl say "God knows my heart." I say yes you are right and that the problem. the bible says that the heart is deceitfully wicked if you arent saved. you need a new heart. God does know your heart and if you were being honest you do too.
Jesus said in 1 John 1:7 "If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth" ~Darkness is sin. The light is truth.
This is true but Ray needs to think about some things as well. He can spread the gospel without you tube money and selling widgets. His finger pointing approach , while doing the very thing that Jesus knocked over the tables in the temple for , just makes me SMH
@@michaelmccaffrey2731 Have you heard that the prophet/preacher/apostle deserves his bread by what he preaches? 1 cor 9:14 "In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel." 1 Timothy 5:18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain [to keep it from eating],” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages .. But just to let you know - Ray was already a wealthy man before he got into the ministry (check up his history) - so all these things he is doing is to further the gospel - that I believe is one reason why God has so tremendously blessed the work he is doing. Again check up on the ministry itself and see where the money goes. Then ultimately - just what are *_YOU_* doing to further the gospel other than running down and trampling on those who are at least doing something visible and concrete and inspiring millions of others to stop making excuses and start doing the harvesting work Jesus committed to us?????

needed to ask this someone said that if we are not perfect and we do not do the perfect will of god and everything jesus says to do that we will be cast in to hell i am not perfect i mess up daily how can anyone go to heaven when where not perfect only jesus was perfect
@@jonathanwatson1663 Very true because Jesus said, Mt 5:48 “Therefore you shall be PERFECT, just as your Father in heaven is PERFECT. This is ONLY possible by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT. Jn 16:13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into ALL TRUTH; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. When you're FILLED with the HOLY SPIRIT you will have STRONG HATERED for sin.
Defensiveness is a mistake. Taking responsibility for our sin is literally step one. God loves you so much he already gave his only son for you. The least we can do is admit our sin.
@@jonathannixon8652 You can try that in a court of law and you will be safe. The legal system deals with crimes, not with sins. Sin is a concept applicable only to those who believe it.
I do have an issue with something he said to the guy smoking. He said "if you repent you perpetually forsake your sins". So does that mean God made a mistake in 1 Jn 1:9? We believers ALL SIN EVERY DAY, if you believe otherwise you make God a liar.
@@destinedbe4birth the flesh is weak and desires what is sinful, but the spirit thirsts for righteousness. We wont be perfect until we make it to heaven and God knows this. That is why time and time again throughout the whole Bible, God shows us exactly how we can be forgiven of our daily sins. As humans we fall into sin, yes, because no one does good in the eyes of God. The difference is when we willingly give into temptation and knowingly break God's Law. When we do that, we must humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness, making our full effort to run from that sin. It isnt enough to say "I'm sorry" knowing that youre going to do it again within a day or week etc. Does this make sense?
@@readJames48 read Ephesians 3: v :6 to be specific that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Read Romans 11: by their transgressions (the Jews transgressions) salvation has come to the Gentiles to makeJews jealous. Paul said, he magnifies the ministry by preaching to Gentiles, that by doing so it might move the Jews to jealousy & save them. Also, you are to be in kindness toward the wild branches (wild beaches=gentiles) that have faith in Jesus Christ are grated into the natural tree. Both Jew & Gentiles who have faith in Jesus/Yeshua Christ are promised the blessing privilege. Luke 2:32 Salvation is offered to both Jew & Gentile alike. Genesis : All man & woman comes from the seed of Adam created by God. Galatians Paul says,1:16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles. Gal 2:16 A man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus.
*God is more concerned with the state of our eternal soul than he is about our comfort and removing all our suffering.* If the butterfly does not have to struggle to push hard against the cocoon it will not develop the necessary strength to be able to fly and thrive. If someone opens the cocoon for it it will fall to the ground unable to fly and be left there to die. So it is with us and God.

Ray, I love and been addicted to your videos so much thank you so much for your over 700 interviews, movies, books, sermons and what your doing more or less for saving souls and the lost, there was a comment about you that I saw that really stood out to me and made an impact on me which is, you mr. Ray comfort and every single member on the Living Waters team, and Kirk of course, are going to be shinning so bright in the kindom of heaven like the stars. Thank you for teaching and encouraging fellow children of god to go out of their own way and save the lost. 👍😁
I feel like the guy in the gray shirt admitted three times that he murdered somebody. 1. He brought it up by himself that He broke the Commandment for murder 2. He wishes that he will not again hurt somebody that's good 3. He basically said he matches every sin that David did [ David murdered somebody]
He was like, “ Yes, Ray, we all have snuck an extra cookie from the cookie jar, or fibbed and told Aunt Margaret we wear the sweater she sent us, therefore we are all thieves and liars who deserve hell.

id tried asking my brother this questions.....this is hardwork at all and kinda frustrating 😅, seeing ray speaking to random people trully helps me building up my confidence ☺️ thank you
“God weighs our heart” yes, and any heart that does not long to follow him and live in righteousness is a heart of evil. So your heart is weighed, but not in goodness. Because your heart is dark.
Hey, I have a prayer request 🙏🏽 A friend of mine died today. He left his mother and his brother, they had plans to settle to the US next week. Please pray for his family, please!🙏🏽
God's plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple - one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we're busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone's eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you'll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.
@@sklanguage589 agree only multiplying disciples will get the job done. True leaders are those who raise up leaders to fulfill the great commission. In the ministry recently, I was taught about consecration, resets, corrections about old paradigms, fullness of the Spirit, etc. Man, the whole world is wide. this calls for great commitment, great faith, intensified prayer, and we have the Spirit.
(Jesus’s love for the backslider) Question: “If your 16 year old daughter ran away from home, and you were afraid and didn’t know where she was, and a few days later you found her to be safe and sound, would you not be extremely happy to see her again, and also see that she is okay? This is the same exact type of excitement that The Lord Jesus Christ feels when a Christian falls off of the right path but then chooses to return to Him! Whenever a believer strays away from the Lord or his teachings, Jesus Christ worries about them like a father who worries about His child who ran away from home! when that child comes home, Jesus Christ doesn’t yell at them or punish them. He is simply happy to see them; He gives them a big Hug! He welcomes them in, ask them if they are hungry, ask them if they are okay. And when they return to him, He forgives them for whatever they’ve done while they were away. Jesus is like a concerned father! So lately, if you’ve fallen off as a Christian, don’t give up. Because when you come back to Jesus, He isn’t going to punish you, but he will welcome you home like this child who has run away! So don’t be afraid to come home! His arms are open wide! (Luke 15:4)- “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? (Luke 15:5)- “and when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders.” (Luke 15:6)- “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ (Luke 15:7)- “I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who never strayed away.”
Friend, God doesn’t have to cater to the level of evidence you find acceptable. He has given more than enough evidence for anyone to believe, and has given you a rational mind to discern this evidence. What we find over and over is that it is often a heart issue with people. Accepting the truth of God’s existence means facing accountability for the way one lives. And all have sinned.
These two men were kind enough to listen to Ray, and I hope that they will think about this conversation and pick up a bible and read and give their lives to Christ. One guy said that he did read his bible this morning so I hope the Word catches hold of him soon.

I was Baptized last week!!! I tried handing out a track, to the attendant, at a gas station I always get a discount of 3¢ off per gallon, Loyalty Card. She thought the Red & Blue curve track was cute. She chose Blue as bigger. It had the Gospel on the back. I paid for the gas and went to fill up when I noticed I wasn’t getting the discount, I went in to ask for it and she said I didn’t have enough points.... I know that isn’t how it works.

God bless you Ray you are inspiring❤❤🙏🏻
If you love Jesus with all your heart, read the Bible as much as you can daily. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see and ears to hear and obey what you see. I started discipling a 16 year old Jewish girl in Israel and she's 19 now and out putting gospel tracts and New Testaments around the streets of Israel. She knows that Jesus is coming any day for His bride, so you can watch for Jesus too like Matthew 24:42-44 and Matthew 25. Read the book of Revelation to see what's coming.
Only God can save these people, These people are lost in sin but Jesus is the waymaker He's the Savior He can save anyone from sin. I pray God will touch their hearts and they'll come to Jesus and become born again by His Holy Spirit. They need God badly, Heaven and hell are real and our souls are eternal, souls will end up only in two places Heaven and hell depending on the choices. Only God is the way to be saved from hell and from sin. Sin is death and it leads to hell.
I pray that the Lord would open them there ears, eyes and cleanse there mind, so they can understand with there heart and truly turn towards the Lord Jesus Christ before it's too late. Lord have mercy on us.❤😇❤
Seek God’s will daily. 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you.”

Ray, if you were to hypothetically stumble upon a cosplay convention what would you do? I’d probably do one of two things: either I hand some Gospel tracts to some people or just stay very far away in case any of them try to heckle me. Especially when there are such people called “Stans,” or stalker fans, who are deeply devoted to someone other than God. I’d love to hear from you soon. God bless you.
One of my favorite Bible verses is I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I have depression and anxiety and feel Suicidal at times and I'll start praying and God stops me. For some reason I get visions of fighting. I used to be a wrestling fan and a thought that appeared in my mind was we're not wrestling with flesh and blood but against the principalities and powers of darkness in high places. I knew that was God speaking to me. It blows my mind that Jesus Christ uses our circumstances to teach us his word. Thank you Jesus Christ for loving me and taking my punishment that I deserve. I'm glad you're in my heart. Please Jesus keep me on fire for you.
This one is my 2021 favorite ~ Justin has knowledge but He needs to commit to God and the other brother has a slumbering element...he is not quite awake enough to enable him to hear and learn. Father, cause them to see & know your love for them, heal them that they see, trust & follow You in Jesus Name. Amen 🙏 💙💦💦💦
Ray is the prime example of double-talk. He says in the same run that it's by grace and mercy we are saved through faith and then goes on the next sentence to say we are saved by our works of trying to keep the law (STOP SINNING).
We sinned, therefore we deserve God’s wrath. But Jesus took all of our sins upon Himself Therefore, Jesus received 100% of God’s wrath upon Himself. Jesus was crushed by The Father’s wrath. Jesus satisfied The Father’s wrath that us sinners deserve. Jesus was buried, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven. Acts 16:31. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved”.
@@robertdouglas8895 So, “ My yoke is easy” means forgive everyone, and that means have joyful repentance, Yet you can’t explain what joyful repentance is or give any examples from the Bible? Repentance is being sorry for your specific sin and not continuing to do that sin. In the Bible repentance was often done with sadness, fasting and prayer.
@@robertdouglas8895 If you feel guilty and sad over your sin, while you repent, you won’t be forgiven? Where does the Bible say that? I can find many Bible passages to disprove that. You could t find any examples of joyful repentance, huh?
I just realized my problem now with Ray Comfort. I could never really land on his approach to people in evangelism. He says that God's standard for living is PERFECTION. I thought Jesus Christ came because we could not fulfill God's law and be perfect on our own so we NEEDED Jesus to come and die on our behalf BECAUSE we miss the mark of PERFECTION. God's standard is PERFECTION and JESUS is that perfection. NOT US. Rather than tell these people the GOOD NEWS he puts people right back under the CONDEMNATION of the law which God's grace saved us from. THE PENALTY of GOD"S LAW is finished in Christ for us. JESUS DID PAY OUR FINE, MR. COMFORT. Don't tell people that after people accept His free gift of salvation that they are held to the same standard of Jesus perfection. That negates the NEED for a Savior altogether.
What Ray was trying to say is that we would need to be perfect to get to heaven because God is perfect. But that's not the case since Jesus died for us.
When we pray we’re telling God what is in our heart and on our mind. If we don’t read His word, we’re saying I don’t care, LORD, what’s on Your mind and in Your heart, Your Will.
7:08 Without wanting to sound critical, I wonder if you would answer differently here if you were to have the chance? I feel like I've heard you give a better answer many other times just by acknowledging you're a sinner too and it broke through to people. I'm sure you wouldn't do that but I'm just asking from a tactics point of view.
THANK YOU SO MUCH RAY!!! Thank you for all those "CONVINCING LIVE SERMON" !! I must say that you played a signifiant role in my URGENT EXIT FROM CATHOLICISM,almost 2 years ago.

He IS wasting God's time. We are commissioned to call the "sheep", those God has chosen from before the world began. See John 10, Eph 1. The "goats" are predestined to Hell and will never hear. See Matthew 25, 1 Cor 2, Mark 7.
That is NOT the God of the bible. In Scripture God is absolutely Sovereign. Read Is 46, Eph 1 Rom 9 for starters. Are you one of the chosen or one of the reprobate?

*ALL GLORY TO GOD!* 21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
I was just like the young man smoking a cigarette.
I would leave some bar as the sun was coming up and a street preacher would be out proclaiming the Gospel and handing out tracts.
I would literally RUN as fast as my intoxicated body would let me! Hearing the Gospel put a spotlight on my sin and I HATED IT. I ran until I was 40 years old, until I finally realized that I "wasn't too sinful to be saved" after all. I thought I was beyond saving, and beyond grace, for decades. I thought God would NEVER forgive me for the things I had done.
I finally submitted to Christ, confessed my sin and God completely changed me! He changed me from the inside out, making me a new creation!
That was Oct. 9, 2011. Nearly a decade ago.
Praise God for His patience and His loving kindness!
That’s wonderful Tim!
The LORD JESUS CHRIST REIGNS!!! Praised the LORD !!!
Amen!
Hallelujah brother.
Awesome! I was 45. From whomever much is forgiven comes much love. Luke 7:47
My grandpa is 78 years old and my whole family has been trying to present the gospel to him. I spoke to him 1 on 1 about salvation for the first time ever and used the way Ray does. He was getting real nervous and wasn’t saying much ( he normally doesn’t talk much anyways) but I’m scared for his eternal life. Please pray for my grandpa. Thank you!!
Will do Adam.
God did not give us a spirit of fear, you heard that ? It is supposed to be real as in you shouldn't have fear of punishment and anything giving you that fear is not of God for he gives us peace and a sound mind.
Our tongue has power of life and death who can tame it ? Lean on him and not on your own understanding.
Your granpa will be fine, God says he justifies the ungodly, it is not who wills it or who runs it is God that shows mercy.
Instead of trying to save your granpa with hysteria in his last years here on Earth I recommend spending time with him and get to know him more as you say you love him so show some works and make his last years good time well spent with the ones he loves. Also John said those who love are of God, I am sure your granpa loves as I hear your family concerns over his eternal life seem like loving folks from a loving father.
Live in the fearless grace of God, he is not worried.
I would like to pray for your grandpa…may I know his first name?
Nervousness signals Love is entering, and Winning! I'm an old Geezer like Ray, and I'm using Ray's approach, and it's working better on others, than I usually achieve. Sounds like you too! God Bless.
@@sigra4867 Proverbs 1:7 says The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. This is just one example in the bible where god want us to fear him. Not in the way of cowering before him, but because of our upmost love and respect for him. Same way when you would be nervous and scared when your parents stare at you after you get in trouble.
Pride is SUCH a scary sin. We are so prideful as human beings. This young man knows the word and still has so much pride within himself he doesn’t see the severity of the message.
To fight the passion of pride we need to pray humbly, "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner"
These days, pride is encouraged
The best illustration of the seriousness of pride... It's the sin that led to open rebellion and got our Enemy kicked out of Heaven. And it's the very thing he used to tempt Eve in the Garden.
Pride is the cause of all conflict.

We don't like words like "fornicate" because they help illuminate how ugly our sin is.
Exactly! I would literally run from people handing out Gospel tracts.
It put a spotlight on my sin and I HATED IT!
I am a testament to God's patience and loving kindness.
God could have struck me down and been totally righteous in his actions. I was a lying, stealing, fornicating, blasphemous jerk!
I finally realized that I wasn't "too sinful to save", and confessed my sins, and asked God to change me and give me a NEW HEART, which He did! I am a NEW CREATION! The old has passed! Praise God for His mercy and patience!

The problem with deception is that people don’t know that they are deceived 🤔😢
Sadly, my friend talks to his dead family, I warned him but he doesn't see it, the familiar spirits and the evil he is in touch with will be his demise and not a great demise at that. The demonic power he thinks is supporting him has corrupted his mind and he will have a surprise sadly. I'll try more to get him saved.

This is true but Ray needs to think about some things as well. He can spread the gospel without you tube money and selling widgets. His finger pointing approach , while doing the very thing that Jesus knocked over the tables in the temple for , just makes me SMH

But just to let you know - Ray was already a wealthy man before he got into the ministry (check up his history) - so all these things he is doing is to further the gospel - that I believe is one reason why God has so tremendously blessed the work he is doing. Again check up on the ministry itself and see where the money goes.
Then ultimately - just what are *_YOU_* doing to further the gospel other than running down and trampling on those who are at least doing something visible and concrete and inspiring millions of others to stop making excuses and start doing the harvesting work Jesus committed to us?????

"Your parachute is loose." Awesome one. Will add to my quiver. Thank you brother Ray. Praise to God.
Defensiveness is a mistake. Taking responsibility for our sin is literally step one. God loves you so much he already gave his only son for you. The least we can do is admit our sin.

pearls before swine. Ray is wasting his time.
I do have an issue with something he said to the guy smoking. He said "if you repent you perpetually forsake your sins". So does that mean God made a mistake in 1 Jn 1:9? We believers ALL SIN EVERY DAY, if you believe otherwise you make God a liar.
a true disciple of Jesus can not LIVE in sin. That is what 1 John is referring to.
@@destinedbe4birth the flesh is weak and desires what is sinful, but the spirit thirsts for righteousness. We wont be perfect until we make it to heaven and God knows this. That is why time and time again throughout the whole Bible, God shows us exactly how we can be forgiven of our daily sins. As humans we fall into sin, yes, because no one does good in the eyes of God. The difference is when we willingly give into temptation and knowingly break God's Law. When we do that, we must humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness, making our full effort to run from that sin. It isnt enough to say "I'm sorry" knowing that youre going to do it again within a day or week etc. Does this make sense?

Paul said, he magnifies the ministry by preaching to Gentiles, that by doing so it might move the Jews to jealousy & save them. Also, you are to be in kindness toward the wild branches (wild beaches=gentiles) that have faith in Jesus Christ are grated into the natural tree. Both Jew & Gentiles who have faith in Jesus/Yeshua Christ are promised the blessing privilege. Luke 2:32 Salvation is offered to both Jew & Gentile alike.

1. He brought it up by himself that He broke the Commandment for murder
2. He wishes that he will not again hurt somebody that's good

Interesting.

I don’t even try to be more moral than the world requires. I have Jesus in my heart so I am going to heaven. Off to go eat, drink, and be merry!” Byeeeee!

God's plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple - one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we're busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone's eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you'll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.

Question: “If your 16 year old daughter ran away from home, and you were afraid and didn’t know where she was, and a few days later you found her to be safe and sound, would you not be extremely happy to see her again, and also see that she is okay?
This is the same exact type of excitement that The Lord Jesus Christ feels when a Christian falls off of the right path but then chooses to return to Him! Whenever a believer strays away from the Lord or his teachings, Jesus Christ worries about them like a father who worries about His child who ran away from home!
when that child comes home, Jesus Christ doesn’t yell at them or punish them. He is simply happy to see them; He gives them a big Hug! He welcomes them in, ask them if they are hungry, ask them if they are okay. And when they return to him, He forgives them for whatever they’ve done while they were away.
Jesus is like a concerned father! So lately, if you’ve fallen off as a Christian, don’t give up. Because when you come back to Jesus, He isn’t going to punish you, but he will welcome you home like this child who has run away! So don’t be afraid to come home! His arms are open wide!
(Luke 15:4)- “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?
(Luke 15:5)- “and when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders.”
(Luke 15:6)- “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’
(Luke 15:7)- “I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who never strayed away.”
Time is short🙏🏾
Friend, God doesn’t have to cater to the level of evidence you find acceptable. He has given more than enough evidence for anyone to believe, and has given you a rational mind to discern this evidence.
What we find over and over is that it is often a heart issue with people. Accepting the truth of God’s existence means facing accountability for the way one lives. And all have sinned.
These two men were kind enough to listen to Ray, and I hope that they will think about this conversation and pick up a bible and read and give their lives to Christ. One guy said that he did read his bible this morning so I hope the Word catches hold of him soon.
Justin seems to carry alot of pain in his heart, I pray he gets right with God and can get right in his heart.

I paid for the gas and went to fill up when I noticed I wasn’t getting the discount, I went in to ask for it and she said I didn’t have enough points.... I know that isn’t how it works. I have already forgiven her. My evangelical technique is still developing. Thank you Living Waters!!!
Hosea 1
I wanna be a faithful servant till the end i wanna serve the Lord and not live a double life i am 17 years old and how do i live in holiness i do not wanna sin anymore i wanna love Jesus because He first loved us with all my heart and everything what can i do? God bless you Ray you are inspiring❤❤🙏🏻
If you love Jesus with all your heart, read the Bible as much as you can daily. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see and ears to hear and obey what you see. I started discipling a 16 year old Jewish girl in Israel and she's 19 now and out putting gospel tracts and New Testaments around the streets of Israel. She knows that Jesus is coming any day for His bride, so you can watch for Jesus too like Matthew 24:42-44 and Matthew 25. Read the book of Revelation to see what's coming.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways i am reading it and i am reading the book of Acts i wanna obey what it says and be a light in this dark world God bless you
@@carlsonlopez2629 That's great to hear. Get baptized if you can.
@@WalkingbytheSpiritAlways i want to but on the Lord's timing
You are saved Carlson he loves you continue to seek him and he’ll help him
Only God can save these people, These people are lost in sin but Jesus is the waymaker He's the Savior He can save anyone from sin. I pray God will touch their hearts and they'll come to Jesus and become born again by His Holy Spirit. They need God badly, Heaven and hell are real and our souls are eternal, souls will end up only in two places Heaven and hell depending on the choices. Only God is the way to be saved from hell and from sin. Sin is death and it leads to hell.
Thank you and God bless you Ray Comfort your like father-figure out here 🙏🏽❤️.
God bless you Ray.
"Jesus is faithful. Jesus will strengthen and guard you from evil." (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
I pray that the Lord would open them there ears, eyes and cleanse there mind, so they can understand with there heart and truly turn towards the Lord Jesus Christ before it's too late.
Lord have mercy on us.❤😇❤
Seek God’s will daily.

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you.”
Thanks Ray for your great presentation it's a beautiful thing to see a person's mind start to engage and understand the message.
His first mistake is "I think">It's not what we think or our opinion, it's Gods truth that is truth. "Thy word is truth"!
Pastor Ray, I really thank our good Lord for you. The energy, persistence and persuasion is good model for all of us.
Jesus is the way God really made me open my eyes I got a hint of him being real. Amen 🙏🏼 god bless Ray Comfort

"Do you think you're a good person?"
"Not compared to God"
WOW
Interesting way of avoiding a real answer
Comparing to God(or God's standards) is to be objective.
To compare to the subjective standards of "good" is not...
at least that's how I see it... 🤷🏼♂️
@@crackerjack6454 It's ridiculous to compare yourself with God to justify being a flawed person when ALL are flawed compared with an omnibenevolent and omniscient God.
@@SStupendous it's not to justify anything... if anything it's an admission... & then a strive towards the best we can be...
@@crackerjack6454 The guy used it to try and defend his wrong ways, not become better.
this was so beautiful it reminded me of myself when ray was interviewing that first guy smoking cigs i looked at him and in my heart i didnt wanna keep living like that all my life or however long im gonna live just in sin no power and no light just words and he knows it but no change and i seen that in me and want the change jesus christ is that change his word is the change i need change the old finally and forever and behold new and if thats you too brother or sister type amen and lets change in jesus name. Amen! and Goodbless!

@@lauraaw.2095 I agree Laura and we are all guilty

Thank you, Ray!! I really appreciate your ministry.
Ray, if you were to hypothetically stumble upon a cosplay convention what would you do? I’d probably do one of two things: either I hand some Gospel tracts to some people or just stay very far away in case any of them try to heckle me. Especially when there are such people called “Stans,” or stalker fans, who are deeply devoted to someone other than God. I’d love to hear from you soon. God bless you.
God bless you Ray
Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is Lord, and He is coming.
One of my favorite Bible verses is
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I have depression and anxiety and feel Suicidal at times and I'll start praying and God stops me.
For some reason I get visions of fighting. I used to be a wrestling fan and a thought that appeared in my mind was we're not wrestling with flesh and blood but against the principalities and powers of darkness in high places. I knew that was God speaking to me. It blows my mind that Jesus Christ uses our circumstances to teach us his word. Thank you Jesus Christ for loving me and taking my punishment that I deserve. I'm glad you're in my heart. Please Jesus keep me on fire for you.
This one is my 2021 favorite ~ Justin has knowledge but He needs to commit to God and the other brother has a slumbering element...he is not quite awake enough to enable him to hear and learn.
Father, cause them to see & know your love for them, heal them that they see, trust & follow You in Jesus Name.
Amen 🙏 💙💦💦💦
Praying for them.
Ray is the prime example of double-talk. He says in the same run that it's by grace and mercy we are saved through faith and then goes on the next sentence to say we are saved by our works of trying to keep the law (STOP SINNING).
Thank u for being out there to witness to ppl of any Nation...🙏🌷😔🌷🙏🌷😪🌷🙏🌷👍👍👍👍
We sinned, therefore we deserve God’s wrath.
But Jesus took all of our sins upon Himself
Therefore,
Jesus received 100% of God’s wrath upon Himself.
Jesus was crushed by The Father’s
wrath.
Jesus satisfied The Father’s wrath that us sinners deserve.
Jesus was buried, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven.
Acts 16:31. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved”.
Wrath sounds so dark.
@@robertdouglas8895 Unrepentant sinners will go in the lake of fire. Repent of your sins, and believe in Jesus to be saved.
@@robertdouglas8895 Joy of repentance? What do think repentance is? Do you have any examples of joyful repentance from the Bible?
@@robertdouglas8895 So, “ My yoke is easy” means forgive everyone, and that means have joyful repentance, Yet you can’t explain what joyful repentance is or give any examples from the Bible?
Repentance is being sorry for your specific sin and not continuing to do that sin. In the Bible repentance was often done with sadness, fasting and prayer.
@@robertdouglas8895 If you feel guilty and sad over your sin, while you repent, you won’t be forgiven? Where does the Bible say that? I can find many Bible passages to disprove that.
You could t find any examples of joyful repentance, huh?
THANK YOU JESUS FOR MAKING ME YOURS FOREVER, AND FOR FORGIVING ME AND CLEANSING ME FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!
"I will figure it out at the end"
Lol. That was funny
Unfortunately most will.
No it wasn’t

Dillion you have many people praying for you.
The day my good friend jumped out of the plane....and much more than that...I could see the love Jesus had for all of mankind!
I just realized my problem now with Ray Comfort. I could never really land on his approach to people in evangelism. He says that God's standard for living is PERFECTION. I thought Jesus Christ came because we could not fulfill God's law and be perfect on our own so we NEEDED Jesus to come and die on our behalf BECAUSE we miss the mark of PERFECTION. God's standard is PERFECTION and JESUS is that perfection. NOT US. Rather than tell these people the GOOD NEWS he puts people right back under the CONDEMNATION of the law which God's grace saved us from. THE PENALTY of GOD"S LAW is finished in Christ for us. JESUS DID PAY OUR FINE, MR. COMFORT. Don't tell people that after people accept His free gift of salvation that they are held to the same standard of Jesus perfection. That negates the NEED for a Savior altogether.
What Ray was trying to say is that we would need to be perfect to get to heaven because God is perfect. But that's not the case since Jesus died for us.
When we pray we’re telling God what is in our heart and on our mind. If we don’t read His word, we’re saying I don’t care, LORD, what’s on Your mind and in Your heart, Your Will.
7:08 Without wanting to sound critical, I wonder if you would answer differently here if you were to have the chance? I feel like I've heard you give a better answer many other times just by acknowledging you're a sinner too and it broke through to people. I'm sure you wouldn't do that but I'm just asking from a tactics point of view.
Amen♡
very encouraged by Your patience and courage by God's grace and lovingkindness alone
Usually i say first.. But I'd rather be last.. Good job ray. Always a blessing to watch. That guy in the grey shirt is very conflicted

There’s definitely a conflict going on with him. He is very defensive too. Pray he sees the light
THANK YOU SO MUCH RAY!!! Thank you for all those "CONVINCING LIVE SERMON" !! I must say that you played a signifiant role in my URGENT EXIT FROM CATHOLICISM,almost 2 years ago. And indeed, evangelicals can't be embarrassed to say how an ex-catholic really comes A L O N G W A Y.....!! So far, that the single idea to turn back WOULD HORRIFY ME !! See how our Lord 's w😂rk is imparable (in the details): The first sermon I had , following my baptism (which I finally had the honor to assist), was titled: " Christians, don't go back !" Thanks again,Ray ! And what a lovely good dog ,(I was to say:what a good "Christian dog") you had !! Greetings from Québec city,Can. !
The guy who says he reads the Bible everyday is in the most danger :( 🙏 soften his heart Lord open his eyes.
pearls before swine. Ray is wasting his time.
@@56pjr - Never a waste of time!
He IS wasting God's time. We are commissioned to call the "sheep", those God has chosen from before the world began. See John 10, Eph 1. The "goats" are predestined to Hell and will never hear.
See Matthew 25, 1 Cor 2, Mark 7.
@@56pjr not your decision. It belongs to God.
That is NOT the God of the bible. In Scripture God is absolutely Sovereign. Read Is 46, Eph 1 Rom 9 for starters. Are you one of the chosen or one of the reprobate?
Ray I gave my life to Jesus but I wasn't immediately made PERFECT 😢 I still struggle not to sin but I am growing in Jesus and ALWAYS ask forgiveness every night and the Lord God Father, Son and Holy spirit to help me do better and help me grow closer to Jesus.

Brilliant thanks brother for walking in the truth
*ALL GLORY TO GOD!*
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
