- Do you know how to put God first in your life? It's easier said than done. We are always told how to do it but we are seldom told why it's important that we do. If we don't put God first, we could possibly be blocking our own blessings from being poured out on our lives. This video will help you put God first in your life and help you understand why.

Hey FAM! I'm doing a series of videos to help us get off to a great start in 2020. NEWSFLASH - GOD WANTS PRIORITY STATUS IN YOUR LIFE. Let's put Him first in every area of our lives (financially, relationally, career, dreams, goals, etc.). He deserves it!
excellent teaching, thank you!
Thank you for the post Pastor Parr. I pray God continue to Bless you and your Ministry 😇
Yes!
This is ABSOLUTELY what I desire!!! Thank God for you Allen Parr!!
When are you going to tell all of your followers that the oldest manuscript of the Old Testament was written in Greek and is called the Septuagint... That the New Testament was also written in Greek. That it's Greek mythology riddled in allegory, parables, parallels, and metaphor.. That Jesus said dont follow the pharisees and lawyers spreading RELIGION like you are.
If you could pray for me i would be so thankful, i am 16 and have some health problems that are affecting my life badly
Money Jordan I prayed !
Awee ofcc GOD BLESS U N DONT GIVE UP!! GODS GOTTA PLACE 4 UUUUU!!!! JESUS IS COMMING SOON SO REPENT AMENNN AND HE DIED FOR US AMANNN AND HE LOVES U
When you pray, pray this "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my praise." That’s the word of God, pray that! And believe in your heart it’s done and you shall be healed. Might aswell praise him right now!!! It’s already done. Glory to God!
Prayers! 💕
Please watch Derek Prince’s ‘how to be delivered (from evil spirits/demons) (1995)’, he was a true man of God and that video is so truly powerful. If you follow the deliverance and prayers genuinely I know you can be healed. May God bless you bro stay strong in Christ, don’t think about what other people have to say about your faith and follow God’s will in everything you do and you for sure will be following the right path. I’m in High School and I get how loving God and living for Him righteously can be hard among many unsaved people our age. Praying for you
Guys I’ve been dealing with major depression and anxiety recently to the point where I don’t even know who I am anymore and sometimes It feels like nothing makes sense and I been struggling having 100% faith in God. Can you guys pray for me?
Dear Lord, please allow Adolfo to be able to see himself the way You see him. He is Your child, and you have made him to do Your will. Please help him not to believe the lies that are being told to him by the enemy. Depression is really, it can twist you up and turn you around to the point that you can not see your out or where to start to try and get out.
Prayed for you ,I have suffered from depression and it can be debilitating, please make sure you get help from a doctor. Medicine can help it takes time maybe a week or two to get into your system but it really helps . Please don't neglect it . Hang in there and give this some time things do get better . Praying for you I know how you feel it's a dark place but that's what Satan wants for you but God wants to bring you light. God allows medicine for a reason. People do care let others that understand this into your life it can help . Talking with people that understand can help. meditate on Jesus and let him love on you . Ask God to send those people into your life because he uses others to help us though these things. Please believe me I know how you feel it can feel like a very dark place nothing can seem good or make you happy but it can pass and you will see happiness again. Don't give up please please see a doctor and talk about this sometimes we can't fix this on our own. Praying for you and praying you will see joy again . I care !

Don't hang up, you'll be placed on hold. Enjoy the spiritual music. And yes, I'll pray for you 🙏🏽
Praying! I also have depression. Hang in there it will get better! Run to Jesus and pray, and maybe listen to praise music. That helps me a lot when I'm depressed. I'm praying for you Adolfo!
NJR Gaming thank you bro I’ve been feeling a lot better and getting a lot of revelations from God it’s insane
Me, running to read the book of Haggai... 📖🏃🏽♀️💨
I always open my youversion when pastor has a new video 😮 I always learn new things 😮🤗🙏🙏
me too!!!! LoL 😅 😅
what version was he reading?
@Naturally E- I think he was reading the New King James Version.
Love it....the running. 👏👏😁
When you learn to put God first, ultimately, nothing else matters.
Once the Holy Spirit gives you that spirit of discernment, you will be able to deal with everyday challenges, people, and trials. What a 'beautiful' gift knowing that the Holy Spirit is with you 'everyday' helping you and being that steering wheel in my life. ' Hallelujah' for this gift. 'ALL' praise and glory in the matchless Name Jesus Christ. Try putting God first in everything, you will 'not' be disappointed. Blessings.
What do we do when we might've hardened our hearts to God??? Im scared of commiting the unforgivable sin....
🤔 I have a hard time dealing with people especially after being harassed at work. I’m now back to feeling afraid to find a new job. Idk what I’m doing wrong and why I can’t just handle this loss right now. 🤷♀️
Amen
@@biancalouisemongaya3525 it is impossible for Christians to commit because every true Christian has a sense of regret when sinning. And if you regret doing wrong and repent on it, then you haven't committed the unforgivable sin since this sin is neglecting the Holy Spirit and feeling no remorse meaning you don't come back to our savior which hopefully you won't do. Amen 🙏
And don't be scared for the Holy Spirit, God and Jesus are with you. ♥
@@furrowlaking2700 Yes, thats why Im terrified... More and more, day by day, I realize I no longer feel that much regret or remorse for my sin unlike I used to... And I hate that fect but it feels as if im stuck because I dont know what else now...
I hear you GOD. I prayed this morning and asked “God what do you need from me” and this pops up in my newsfeed. I hear you father, Loud and clear.
Cologne AndCoffee amen 🙏🏽
Chauna Terry Proverbs 3:5-6 🙂
Wow! I asked Him the same thing! God bless you brother 🏆
I too prayed and was asking God what are needing from me! Then I see this video on my lunch break! 🙏
Entrapreneur Intnl Glory to God!! God bless you.
the "craziest/coolest" thing about this, is sometimes we may never see the blessings- but our families and generations to come will!
"Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind" (Matthew 23:37). That pretty much sums it up!
And love your neighbor as yourself. Everyone is your neighbor.
Thank you for this powerful message that struck my soul like a bolt of lightning. Here I am making more money than ever in my life and am able to provide for my children and my grandchildren of which I am thankful. Never seem to get ahead. Credit card bills from the holidays, dog in the vet hospital, and so on that takes away from the bottom line. God's tabernacle which is my body and health is all taking second place. I heard loud and clear to STOP FOCUSING ON MY CAREER. It too will soon be gone.
Praying for a revival in my soul, a hunger to seek Him first with all that I am so that I can be all He wants to be in my life. Lead me Father on the path you want me to follow and fill my lamp with oil so I will not be found ashamed and not ready when you return. Use me Lord to bless others. Prioritize those things in my life that really do not matter. Hear my prayer Lord. God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ and strengthen us for the last of the last days in which we live.
Do it because it’s what God would have you to do, Not because you want blessings.
***Matthew 22:37
Amen!🙏🏾
As soon as I gave more of my time to God, I've been a happier person. I'm growing closer to God and it's helping my mental health. ❤️
How...I feel cheated .and a liar...I don't want.to be outside when I used to be in the church....This is awful.....My aunt sayings her house is junky yet she keep bringing stuff in. ..pile rat ..keep buying and spending..

I was just getting so sad and depressed about money, and finding a new job, and bills that I need to pay and this message popped right up. I've never been all in and I believe that's why my blessing are delayed. I was idolizing my problems. Jesus forgive me for not being all in and for not having my actions follow my words! Amen
Deborah Humes sane for me sis
I hope God blesses you ♥️
Same thing happened to me yesterday!!
Comparison began to pop in my head!
Whenever I do anything with God last it never works
Amen! So thankful God is speaking to you clearly. He revealed that to me about 2 years ago. Being submitted to God has been the best decision I’ve ever made! He is so good ❤️
Sherry Mcmillon thank you! ❤️
I needed to hear this because I struggle with putting God first place in my life. And I need to
I feel the same way right now :(
I can relate, sadly
I have many times in world but don't have time in God makes me feel guilty
I understand God won’t give me a physical blessing if i’m not spiritually mature enough to handle it. I know I lack maturity at times.
Hello @A String, I believe that God will bless you not because of the works that you've done. We are recieved the grace of God and living by it which means, our best works wont please God because it cannot reach the perfectness of Him. Just always remember that we are living by His grace
Paul said you dont need faith to obtain something you can see!!!
I used to think this too, but there are millions of non-Christians that are physically blessed, and devout Christians that suffer. It can't be all about spiritual maturity.
That is so true. If we cant handle the blessings or if the blessings are going to distract us from him...Nope..we wont get it because he said "I am a jealous God".
I was just thinking about this for myself today. I was like I would love to have a lot more income being that I’m a single mother but, will I be able to handle it.
Please pray for my father. He is addicted to alcohol. But I still believe God can change this situation.
Yes, God can change every situation, pray for your father, and try to be an example at home, that God bless your life and believe that for God nothing is impossible.
Haggai is such an underrated book
True, and it is soooo basic for our path in Christ! Beautifull explained! This must be shared!!
I randomly read it a week ago not thinking I'd get much out of it, boy WAS I WRONG!
I need some help and prayer y'all. My father hasn't been with me for some years, and since we've reconnected I want him to accept Christ as his savior. He believes in God, but doesn't respect Him or what he's truly done. I'm scared for his soul because I don't want my dad to go to Hell...
Pray for him and live a true Christian life in love and truth, and God will lead you in what to say, or not say. Trust God. We plant, water, and God, not us, provides the increase. But most definitely, if he wants to accept Christ as Lord and Savior, pray the sinner's prayer with him. God be with you both in this. Love most of all, be patient, God hears your prayers. Everyone has free will. Happy is the one whose God is the Lord.
Sister. Set a good example for him and share Gods word with him, here and there. All that’s needed a mustard seed of faith
My dad is like this too😭 let us pray for each other
@@michaelalbertson7457 what’s the sinners pray? i’ve never said it and i keep hearing about it. i wanna say it also.
@@lissa387 The sinners prayer is unbiblical. It will not save you alone. It’s great to pray! But in order to be reborn we must repent and trust in the Lord in all we do.
Jesus and me, it needs to be Jesus and me!
The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life are still operating, keeping us separated from a relationship with our maker!
When will we understand, the desire of our hearts is for relationship with God, our Father our Creator! This is the longing of our souls, and nothing else will satisfy!
..It is written, you shall worship the Lord your God and serve him only." Luke 4:8✝️
jessy jonas yes!!! just now realizing this slowly .. I can’t live worldly and still try to have him the two can never co exist
@@tamiahinton1484 Amen!! No point in living a worldly life! We have been created for a specific task.
" We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Lois Evans, wife of Anthony Evans, Texas preacher passed away 4 days ago. I have followed their ministry and I was looking at her specific ministry. Most certainly she will hear a well done, as I believe, she ran her race and kept the faith. This is also out mandate. Run our race and keep the faith.✝️
Amen.
Bible says that.. You cannot serve God and money.. (mammon)
@@angzhamz5053 sure thing, " Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."1 Timothy 6:7. This is such a good, clear word against hoarding and the building of material wealth on earth!! What is the point? What does it profit?
Hear the Holy Scriptures for those without any descendants 🙃, no heir;
"There is one without companion, he has neither son nor brother, yet there is no end to all his labors, nor is his eye satisfied with riches, and does not ask for whom do I toil and deprive myself of good? this is vanity and a great misfortune." Ecclesiastes 4:8✔️ Good word!!
The word of the Lord is so mighty and encompassing, love it!!👌
My personal favorite and my testimony,
" Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, lest you be filled with it and vomit" 😲Proverbs 25:16.
I am sure some saved folks have never heard this scripture!🙃
The word of the Almighty is powerful and all encompassing, I love it!!👌👌👌
Dear Stranger: Please know that God loves you dearly and that there is no way that He would create you for no reason. Even if you are in a bad space in your life right now, remember that God is love and you need to let go in order for Him to work through you.May the powerful God bless you brothers and sisters.
How can I truly put god first?
Start the day with asking for forgiveness and spend some time talking with the lord,Jesus Christ! It works and god doesn’t require anything g god he is everything ! Just putting him first in this way has begun to harvest sweet fruit for md and my family !!
I believe I’ve been working hard at it , the last year or less..and this Christmas was truly nothing less than miraculous blessings and not physical gifts !
I know god heard my prayers and he began showing that putting him first does result in godly blessings !
Thank you teaching me many beautiful and important lessons through your channel !
Keep up the great work through your videos !
Blessing ,light & love to you!!
How about respecting God with a capital letter......like this.....God!
Pray into believed in the morning. Days go by soon I promise you made a day above your daily head's!
Just trying to help, but the one & true Lord Jesus our God, is a capital "G" lower case is all other gods. Forget Google check the bible. It's not like the silly if you use caps you are YELLING rule, it's respect. Not saying you're not, cause we all, even I are still learning. LOOK UP. ENDURE TIL THE END. GODSPEED AND STEADFAST TO ALL THOSE WHO SEEK THE TRUTH!
Thanks for the words,but I’m still trying to put god above my family
Please please please capitalize the "G"!
This is why i wanted to run to an island alone and start a community that don't use no money, no school, just serving God and training people to minister🤣
I would recommend reading the bible straight after watching the video so you will not forget this message.
for me, my laziness is making me lack a lot putting God second. i really want to change that and make God first
Same
I asked God not to put me in a class with the people I don't feel like seeing. The exact same people I asked to not be in the same room with me are here. That's when I realized it's all just preparation. I'll keep my faith in him even through the darkest days. I know it's gonna be difficult in the future but you have to remember Job. Satan is the ruler of this world and the people. God also has control. It's just up to us to keep our faith in him. Sometimes you get what you desire from God. You'll also get the exact opposite of what you ask and it's meant to teach you a lesson. You can't just have faith in God because of all the good things you have in life. You have to have faith in him through all your problems as well. All of us are bound to suffer. No one can avoid it. It doesn't matter what color your skin is, how you look, your social status, or how large your net worth is. Our goal in this life is to just be prepared for the better and the worst. We are his righteous warriors.
I absolutely despised this one chick in college, we ran in same circles tho, eventually we became friends, without compromising values or anything. Just discovered we weren't who we thought each other was. ;) Also I would hate for God to withhold an opportunity from me just bc another person asked Him to keep me away.
God knows what we need more than we do. Sometimes what we need is not what we want. Also some things happen because someone else needs them.
U kno what.....last year when i started hs theres this dude i used to be friends with and it wasn't meant for him to be in my life so we stoped talking...n over time my heart grew really cold towards him bc he was a meanie to me....anyways the quater was over so i had a dream that me and him were cool and i was like yea i forgive u for everything.....the very next day he was in my class. Although we dont talk I do believe it was God telling me to forgive and let it go bc im more bigger (GOD) ...GOD SPEAKS TO US IN MANY WAYS ILL TELL U THAT 🙏🏽💗💗💗!!
@@markhorton3994 Amennn I love thisss alot!!
@@cconroy1677 God Bless u!!
Anyone who reads this please pray that I will reconnect with God
Good vid brother. I want to put God first but I struggle everyday and fail nearly every temptation. Pls pray for me I want to know God more
That temptation is the very thing Satan is struggling to use against you keep you putting God first brother.
@The Truth are you an atheist?
@The Truth Bro do you believe in evolution?
Can I ask why you are on a Pastor's You Tube Channel???
The Truth telex buddy if you want to introduce your belief on us Christians don’t got to throw all the cussing around. Seriously, relax man.
I feel so free this is what God was trying to tell me and I will do so
Amen
God has answered my prayer, a season of drought will make you wonder what is going on... but God is saying return unto me son
I watched this video even though I feel the opposite. I m incredibly blessed with a beautiful family and a son on the way. My job is going great, I have recently received bonuses and pay raises and am almost entirely out of debt working on Dave Ramsey’s 7 steps. I’m very thankful and couldn’t do it without God in my life
So soo happy fo you🎉🎉
Wow that’s beautiful
You have been an incredible blessing for my spiritual growth. I just wanted to personally thank you. I prayed to God to guide me to someone that can break The Bible down in layman’s terms, and you were delivered to me! Thank you and many many blessings to you 😇
Absolutely agree!!
He’s telling you theology not scripture you’ll have a better time reading it yourself
@@emetechad4621 His interpretation is correct. Many quote scriptures and their theology is wrong. The Spirit reveals truth. Everything Allen is saying is backed up by scripture, as God says what it means, not what man or woman says.
Michael Albertson no he’s not right, and scripture proves that. We don’t interpret scripture the spirit speaks it as it is writtten.
Michael Albertson where’s the scripture?.. I’ll wait
His question really helped me understand that my last relationship was my #1 priority at the time and after a year and three months, it was taken away for something because I wasn’t prioritizing God. It was also some short time after I had taken her to church as well that it happened as well. Then afterwards, I find a TikTok video about the rapture that starts making me question where I’m at with God and so I start crying because I’m scared of that and I ask the Lord to forgive me. I continue to walk down the road later and this recent Sunday, I got re-saved by Jesus and I’m learning more about myself through Him. Praise God for the good handiwork
I like this Allen!! I like this newer version of your old show because you seem to be more bold and less sugar coating things!!
Brother Parr, this was organized and to the point. I appreciate when you go in depth, and please don’t be afraid for ppl to not view the video because it’s longer! Those who seek Christ would love it!
Amen
Amen ❤🙏🏾
You’re getting the year off to a good start! I’ve strived all my life to make things work in my favor. Sometimes I achieved (still felt empty) and most of the time I didn’t. Ready to REALLY put God first in my life.
Amen. God is good even when we feel alone and things aren't going in our favor. That's when we need to praise the Lord 🙌 even louder and with all that we have within.
Rudy Hernandez amen 🙏🏾
@@rudyhernandez3428 YESSSSS AMENNNNN GOD BLESS U N JESUS LOVES U AMEN AND HE DIED FOR US AMANNN AND HES COMMING SOON SO REPENT AMENNNNNNNN!!
He was talking directly to me and I receive the message!!!!
Great content Allen. It's so easily to get distracted and slip away from God. During January I'm doing a Daniel Fast and reading the whole bible in a month! I'm posting daily videos to encourage others to read their Bible more too.
Alex Suber shouldn’t announce your fast messiah: wash your face so they do not know you’re fasting
@@emetechad4621 yes
Alex Suber Thank you I will also do this
I appreciate your sharing
God Bless you in the name of our Savior Yesuah Messiah Christ
Reading isn't the same as studying, however.
Ill be honest, it took me so many years to get to GOD. My entire life I have been denying him and being lazy. Im starting in 2020. Im actually 11 years old right now. I spend four hours a day with GOD, and when he wakes me up I ask him to remind me to pray to get rid of the demons trying to get the day. Thanks for this message.
Forever do this🥺
He will guide you through this journey of life.
Whewwwwwwww, can you say conviction! Wow!!!!
2 years later and this video STILL hit home for me. I was just thinking about 5 minutes ago what was keeping me from experiencing the full glory of God. Then your video plays next on my list. Talk about God speaking. Thank you, Brother Parr. Keep preaching the truth. We need Jesus more than ever!!
Preach it, brother! “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you!” LOVE your vids as you know the Bible well, bro!
Brother alan and any others who read this comment, i need prayers for my back and my ribs, im 17 years old and im having horrible back and rib problems, they are extremely sore and i need prayers, God bless you brother alan for the encouragement
Have you gone to a medical professional? That is more effective.
I believe God led me to this video because it hit home for me in a very real way. I just want to say thank you for it and thank you God for the reminder.
And the Lord is the same yesterday today and forever and tells us Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these shall be added unto you
Ive never been all in but guess what........Gods Will THIS YEAR THATS GONNA CHANGE BY THE GRACE OF GOD 💖💖💖💗💗🙏🙏🏽🙏🏽
Please pray for me and everyone that is struggling with reptitive sin. If anyone else is going through something like this i pray for u.
I would be careful when saying we should "put God to the test" I think we should put him first because we love him but not to test him other than that great message though keep it up!
Benjamin Biegler agreed 200%
Amen, it's about Him and let's follow our Master, fight the devil and finish the game. And we can be empowered by His Grace and Mercy to be our Highest priority.
Thanks Allan for the reminder of our relationship with our creator . Amen
his point was probably about Malachi 3:10. but yes, we all should be careful saying that especially for people who might misunderstood and actually do it with a different heart.
Please support my ministry

The way this video struck me in my soul and rejuvenated my desire to walk with Christ. I had been discouraged lately as I have recently entered the world of "adulting" and it started getting stressful balancing everything. I've been so foolish to start sacrificing most of my time with God to do so...only to keep failing anyway. Putting him first is the answer that will solve the issues that I'm having.
Thank you for the information I caught revelation while you was speaking . People just need to seek God more Matthew 6: 33
Just opened up the Bible to read Haggai ! Excited to read this. Thanks Brother Amen
God sends me a lot of messages! I am struggling with temptation, and after I lost by battle with temptation, I then went on tiktok and if said, “comment what sin you are struggling and we will pray for you”. I truly feel ashamed man but now I feel better and I will do my best to stop temptation
I will say this, i needed this so bad. Please pray for me, and i am praying for all of you. Thank YOU
Thank you brother!, I think I have failed on this for about 7 years and had the impure ways of doing the flesh creep in my life. I think you are God's voice so today is my chance to turn to Him
Amen Amen 🙏🏽❤️💯🔏, I love you God 🙏🏽❤️💯🔏, All Glory to God 🙏🏽❤️💯🔏
Watching this on the 2nd of August 2020 and it seems like God had shown you @Allen Parr what He was about to do this year. Indeed God has removed everything we idolised and He has given us time to spend with Him. Indeed God wants us to put Him first always and in everything that we do. Thank you for the powerful message.
This is becoming abundantly clear to me that our relationship with God is the first priority. All other beliefs fall into place when we put God first. Worship the Creator not creation, worship the Giver not what we are give. Seek the miracle maker not the miracles. And the rest falls into place. Thank you for these encouraging words!
You don’t understand how much I appreciate you. After watching all of your videos I understand so much about Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior! Thank You! God Bless You 🙏🙏🙏
Amen, amen, amen! We have to acknowledge the most high God! We cannot be running around like we’re keeper of ourselves! Let God be praise y’all..?🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Allen for this video, the Holy Spirit has led you well..... when I put God first in everything in my life, life was more joyful and God always provided a solution to my problems.
God Bless you, your family and all the folks that have listened to your video.
I shall put God first
Thank you for this message me and my wife were just talking about this last night and your message hit home I realize I need to be all in and put God before the things of this world.
I'm asking God for a brother and for my life to get better ...
Spoiler alert: you are NOT entitled to ANY blessings! It is only by the grace of God that we may live life and life to the fullest! His grace, and his mercy 🙏
Worldly things only give you temporary happiness!❤🙏🏼
Justyne Santos amen 🙏
My wife passed away recently and it's so hard to think about putting ANYTHING first, including myself. I need God to come into my life and lift me out of this destructive pattern of behavior that I've been subjecting myself to.
On IG! There R so many people talking about putting themselves 1st!! They just don't SEE clearly!!!
Ppl are lovers of themselves just a sign of the times
@The Truth I believe Jesus put his own family 2nd to the Lord!?
@The Truth Matthew 10:37!
@The Truth Mark 3:31
@The Truth I will say a prayer for you! That whatever pain or tragedy that has happened in your life, that causes you to spew hatred and blasphemy,I pray it be removed. I'm sorry for whatever has happened to you. You don't have to believe what others believe but don't dare slander or degrade my Lord and Savior. Without his love and grace, there is no hope for any of us. I pray healing over you and whatever evil is surrounding you. Have a good day and may you come to know our Heavenly Father!
My God, I am so blessed by this, and without taking up to much time, God took me to this book last year. I woke up one morning, and I kept hearing in my spirit..Haggai! Haggai! Haggai! I actually heard this once before weeks prior one morning after waking up. The first time I didn't know what to think, I thought I was hearing Hagee as in John Hagee the Pastor, so I looked him up right away, but nothing confirmed what I was hearing. Again weeks later it was plain, I heard Haggai! so I open my bible to Haggai, and began to read and understand what God was pointing out to me, my heart was sadden, because He had already been dealing with me about not putting Him first. Busyness was a huge issue in my life, and it's been a issue for a long time. At the time when this was being shown to me I was doing some redecorating in my living room, and also transitioning one of my bedrooms into a prayer room, and when this was being revealed to me it caused me to literally see what God was saying so much clearer, it was a great demonstration, a parable that was being shown to me in my own life of how we can get busy doing other things, and allowing distraction into our lives. My living room is complete, and my prayer room still need to be done, that should of had first priority, because it was something I been wanting for a long time and to aside for God. When my daughter moved out into her own place, I immediately began painting, and that's as far as I got. I know for those who truly love God we never mean to put the LORD second, or even third place in our lives, but it happens, and it's good to evaluate our lives every now and then to see if we've become distant from God, and to see where our time is going. I have much going on, but much need to go, and I have made changes, and working on rebuilding my time with God. God declares in His word that He is a jealous God and He will have no other god before Him.
The Lord is trying to get my husband’s and I attention in this matter. I came across this very exact scripture yesterday. Read it to my husband, and told him what the spirit was saying to me. I encouraged him but don’t think he paid much attention. Then I came across this video... no coincidences here. Please pray for us that we will fully repent and the word of God will fully pierce and convict me and my husband’s heart as he is the head of our household. Pray that we will make God and his kingdom first priority in our lives and not the things and luxuries of this world.
Edit: This word is so true. This exact thing is happening to us now because of our sins. Please heed this warning ⚠️ my husband and I have both lost our well paying jobs I’ve gotten more ill we lost our home had to move back in with my parents and our 3 kids we are extremely behind in our payments we try to save and cannot seem to do so even though we’ve gotten blessed abundantly with finances it always seems to disappear. Please use our testimony and be wise. I pray this helps some of you.
learn to budget and go watch dave ramsey
AZTL Thanks for your reply and encouragement. And great advice. Unfortunately the things that have happened to us I believe are supernatural for God to get my husband’s and I’s attention to make Him and His Kingdom and righteousness a priority in our lives and to know to seek first His Kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added to us.
My job is budgeting, we’ve heard of Dave Ramsey and have watched Him, but he can’t save us from the discipline of God nor can my skillsu.
Repentance and prayer for a mind and blessed hands for good stewardship over what we have been given and the ability to make our Heavenly Fathers house #1 on our to do list tops anything else because what’s happening to us isn’t natural it’s supernatural.
So you believe in a sadistic unloving God rather than recognize unfortunate things simply happen, or even attributing to an attack from Satan rather than God? What did you and your husband do to allegedly deserve punishment of terribly difficult life circumstances which other imperfect human Christians have avoided so as to not be punished on Earth for their lack of perfection?
Paul Costa if you do not believe in Christ, why are you here? You sound miserable and need prayer.
Dominique I’m praying for you sis. God will bring you out!! Please come back and give us an update when He does!!!
If more hearts took a message like this "to heart" 2020 wouldn't have changed frustration into a no longer recognizable self.
2019 ha been one of the hardest years for me, I was constantly depressed, anxious, and felt spiritually drained. I have strayed from the word of God and had become a lukewarm Christian for years, but I have had enough.Your channel has been one of the first channels I found when I trying to seek the word of God again. I thank God for placing you on this Earth to help guide people to Him. God Bless
God is always first AMEN!
This is a great mindset to have for this coming year, I want to draw closer to the Lord and feel more of his presence in my life daily, not just here or there or sometimes- "daily"! And this will be my focus, and I believe God will make it possible for me to do this for me. Thankyou brother for your wonderful message!
In Lord Jesus Christ name. Amen.
A blessing is not only money or material stuff (money or material stuff are not always a blessing) but is also this "little" things like our prayers being answered, having peace, waking up one more day, being able to have a good family time, etc
This message is definitely for me. Thank you so much for posting. God bless you!
Wow! Knowing that this was posted right before the pandemic makes it more convicting. God really took away just about everything so that we could make him the priority. Not glorify the tragedy but grateful to God for tearing the rug out from under us so that we could put Him first!
OK I need a few clues here on how to apply this for two different loved ones: an adult child and my sister. They both and their spouses are flourishing financially great jobs great income, lovely homes. They are Christians but they don’t really go to church, they don’t really have Christian friends that I’m aware of, they are not hungry for God. They are doing far better than I am and I’m the one with the reputation for encouraging people to read your Bible, praise the Lord seek God, learn to hear his voice etc. I can’t share this message with them. I am all in, I always share my faith, I have a spirit of evangelism, hungry for God.
At one point I lost everything, $100,000 in medical bills unable to walk for six months…still kind of recovering.… Always praising the Lord no matter what.
1 Peter 2:21
2 Corinthians 4:17-18

Though for the lukewarm christians you know remember Revelation 3:16-18
Have a good day :)
Thank you for sharing your struggles with us but I must tell you the Bible never promised us prosperity the Bible never promises that we’re going to get everything that we want.
If you look at the book of Job Job was a righteous man and eyes of God and lost everything.
Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth sometimes bad things happen to good people. You and I aren’t promised everything that you want but we do know that our Savior Jesus Christ went through the same struggles he died on the cross for us.
His death on the cross was Not for us to live a prosperous life but for us to live, to be reconciled with God for our sins and to made new in the eyes of God.
I don’t know why bad things happen to good people that’s a question that I reserved as one of my inquiries whenever I get to heaven because it is confusing at times. But what I do know is Jesus Christ my Savior died for my sins he rose again on that third day and I am promised eternity once I believe receive and live my life in accordance to his will and follow him.
Stay in courage keep your mind on Christ, he said visit and care for the poor, the elderly the widows feed his sheep, whatever I’m going through rough times which is right now I have a lot of health issues I focus on others and not myself and my issues.
I hope this helps God bless you God keep you I pray that he continually watches over you and gives you the strength to endure to the end in Jesus holy name.
@@abullard8409 I just was thinking about Job in this scenario.
Dear friend if I may encourage you? when things like this occur in plain view, it is difficult and you may wonder if God sees your effort, I know at many times I have, simply because that's what the Bible calls " hope deferred making the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life " Proverbs 13: 12, God understands your question, the success that you loved ones may experience, maybe his grace on display, as the Bible says "he doesn't treat us as our sins deserve," the trials that you've experienced, has allowed you to come out the fire purified, with a greater zeal and dedication to the Lord, not to say that they could deal with adversity immediately following the success that they had, but if they do, you'll be there to keep them encouraged as they go through, as you've gone through. You can be on the very brink of the restoration God has instore for you, only he knows and that is my prayer for you, that he'll restore and relieve you as well, encourage and strengthen you to really see him in all things including his hand moving over your situation. Continue to pray that your loved ones will get a closer relationship with him, don't be alarmed if it occurs in a way that may show as a trial. please continue to be encouraged and hold on, we are all a part of the body of Christ and need each other.💞
Watching in 2023, going through this right now, such a blessing bro thank you! The Lord is gracious
I’m so guilty...Thank you for this teaching!!
I quit working to serve God first, allowing God to provide ALL my needs second. Choosing this lifestyle has given me a chance to draw closer to God and to trust His Will for my life. Thank you Christ Jesus!
Thank God for this message to start my day here on the Philippines.
Putting God and Jesus ahead of our lives is an essential part of our day to day life we should seek him everyday 🙏💞 I honestly have been guilty of the sin of worry, fear, depression, etc Lord Jesus forgive me
God has first place in my heart. I’m always waking up every morning (sometimes I reach for my phone first thing) but most days I wake up each day and pray a prayer to the Lord and read His word. He is and always will be first place over my life, HE IS LORD!!! My love for Jesus Christ and my love others continues to grow! ❤️
You have no idea how much I needed this video. 2019 was the biggest mess in my life- career and health wise- and this has definitely shed some light as to why. Thank you.
I know people that put God first and bad things happened to them. We must also remember that in this life we are going to have trials and tribulations. God never promised us a non problem life.
@@laninaclay6276 Oh yes, for sure. I agree
Today at my church was about the passion of John the Baptist for God. And how we should succesfull continue in our path for the love of Jesus. The book of Haggai and your explanation was a beautifull cherry on top of this wonderfull day in worshiping my sweet wonderfull Almighty King 😍❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank God!! I PRAYED, finally I received my answer. Thank you for being obedient to God my dear brother. Your helping so many. Amen! Amen! Amen! 💖🙏🏽
I feel like the video answers the why part - Why its important to put God first (and receive your blessings), rather than the how part of it all.
But still good - time spent with God is never wasted.
Thank you for all you do! I dont search for blessings, only search to know Father God and his son Christ. And of coarse those who are working towards the same goal.
Whew!! Thank you! So good. All glory to God!!
Thanks for the message! Living in a secular world with so many distractions, good and bad can cause much confusion over priorities.
It hurts but I needed this. I have been so selfish Lord, forgive me . Take up my life every minute everyday.
PPWERFUL MESSAGE.. THANK YOU.. THIS OPENED UP MY EYES AND EARS ALOT...
Right on time, three years later! I needed this specific message so bad at this specific time.
May GOD bless you and yours!!!
I'm still learning. I feel like the evil spirit is testing me. My friends my family. Testing me. Pray for me please KC
This is a good word. He that have ears let him/her hear! Put God first in 2022+
WOW! Thank you for this message my friend I really need you hear this. My God bless you and your family . Love you brother .
I got my answer. God is so good. I will put Him first from here on out, in Jesus name.
A word Allan! Thank you
This is God speaking to me through Allen Parr. He has been speaking to me but I have been so caught in my selfish ways. Dear God please forgive me and help me this 2020 to come to a place of complete obedience to your word
Thanks Allen. For this. I know from this Video, God has caught my attention. I don't want to get into detail what happened to me but i was given another chance and grateful. But God is first. My necessities 2nd.
The message was directly for the chosen nation Israel, But the principle of the message was very convicting to my heart as a follower of Christ. Thank you Mr. Parr
How can people put thumbs down?
I guess they not read and study the Word of God
David, I understand how you feel, but we are not responsible for other people actions. We can only be an example. I hope this is not coming off as criticism. I am just hoping it can be some peace of when other people actions are upsetting. Believe me I struggle with also. I started learning to pray for them and if it continue bother me ask the Lord what to pray about for them.
It is because we have studied the word of god.
Geoffrey Brewster please capitalize the G in God
Seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all other things will be added unto you. Amen. So true.!!!!
I actually just read Haggai for the first time ever this morning and figured the same thing 😂😂😭then I watch this video and get gut shot with with the guarantee of what I was thinking
