I've been addicted to pornography for the last ten years, since I was nine years old. My fire was certainly lit in the wrong place at the wrong time. God is healing me though. It's been a long, hard road, but I'm healing, slowly.
@@katiedrake76 Jesus forgive you. Believe in him. The devil is trying to make us fail. If your getting a feeling to sin, say this "I rebuke you devil,in the name of Jesus"100 x.
Good word Pastor Steven! I've lived both ways (one before Christ & other after I surrendered my life). Biggest lie of our culture is that we can live however we want without consequences. Much better to live within God's boundaries!
Im abstinence , ask me how hard it is when your 26 years old , and all of the girls dress half naked everywhere you go . Not hard at all because God gives me the strength i need. I always pray about that , i say please Lord dont let me fall into my old ways , please help me today with what im dealing with and its like God answers right back . I dont think about none of that pornographic, looking at girls, craving them , etc . I could only thank one person , the God Almighty .
Been fighting sexual sin and dating multiple partners and funny how only today I decided to leave all my 10 bf's and opening RUclips I came across this 🙌🙌🙌
Simangele Katsande it’s crazy how God just shows you affirmation and confirmation soon as you get rid of things that block you from your relationship with God. You’re amazing and I hope you are continuing to stay in your word and remaining to reach closer to God my love
I’ve been abstinent for about 8 months now and lately i’ve been so tempted to go back to my old ways. It’s so crazy because i’ve been feeling so conflicted and before i even asked God what to do, this is the very first video that popped up on my home page when i opened the app.
This is so important! I’m about to marry the man of my dreams and with it approaching I’m filled with regret of going to second base with boys who saw me as a toy. I’m blessed that I found a man who loves me as a person. This sermon needs to be the mind set of the church. Especially towards both genders cuz shame was taught towards girls. Guys were “allowed” to fool around before marriage. Just don’t get her pregnant. I love this because it shows that love, commitment, and passion is what God intended for marriage. That the physical intimacy can be a beautiful thing.
Each time i listen to the Sermons i get an elevation in my Spirit, it's more like they are meant for me. Thank you Elevation Church, am always encouraged and blessed by your sermons.
Such is life, upon all the great miracles Jesus did, not everyone liked him... all those people that shouted hosanna were the same people that/who shouted crucify Him.
Yes Pastor... Sex is a good thing in marriage; God ordained it in marriage. Making a decision to wait for sex till marriage was a bit hard at first I failed at my first attempt but when i realize I needed to involve God fully I did and he helped me to wait. Preach it on Pastor... #hearttohearttv
Our pastor just did a sermon on this very topic today based on the book "The Problem With God". So important to talk about sex from the pulpit. The church has been silent on the issue for far too long, on something so beautiful that God himself created to be pure and good for heterosexual married couples. Continue to be bold and teach the truth!
@@mehemojie5024 It's not about the percentage it's about it's presence there in the bible. It's not a topic God debated. He condemned it, that's it. Appreciate your comment though!
yusak handianto shame isn't the solution to sinful sex. Getting your fire in a contained area (inside marriage) is the solution. God wants our fires to be lit but without us getting burnt. Contain your flame brother
@@yusakhandianto to summarize it the best way I can, sex is a great and beautiful thing God created but just like a fire it is warm and passionate but fire can b dangerous and out of control if not contained sex is great but it needs to be contained and controlled within a marriage despite what culture and society says that is the best way I can explain it.lol
yusak handianto People often become sexually immoral because they are ashamed of trauma, or their sexual history, or something close. If our shame and embarrassment is what causes us to become more impure... being embarrassed and shamed more will only make matters worse because we ALREADY feel bad about it.
Beautiful message! Lord, how so many of us wish we would've heard this and listened to the LESS illustrated/understandable versions we did hear when we were young. Thank you for preaching the TRUTH!
it's unnecessary but I've seen so much "you're" sentences that when I see a wrong usage of your and you're, my grammar demon inside suddenly awakens. hehehe. It should be "you're" because it's a shortcut for "you are". "If you are married." The use of your is for possession. Your bag not you are bag.
Very true, but a good marraige, not just a marraige. There ppl who are not married and have great relationships, I dont understand why they just dont get married, I believe they should. There are horrible marraiges, I cant see how sex in that could be good.,I dont know why not end it. Either way is God to judge and guide and deliver through prayer.
Thank you!!! I love the short clips but they never have the full sermon out in plain sight. Im always looking for the same outfit in the video to help me out! Haha
Porn had taken so many years of my life. It has left me dry, and desireless, I am however on the path to getting and staying clean. I have a lot forgiveness and healing in store for my future, luckily I have believe in Jesus, and that God loves me, even if I suck.
Many times I had been dropped bse I refuse to have sex when they ask , but one thing that surprise me is after they re gone u hear they Ve married ...... I'm so grateful to God that some is still preaching this sound gospel......may God reward pastor Steve for d boldness.....
I love this sermon because I am going through this right now .about to turn 21 and trying to explain to my 28 year old boyfriend that I have decided that I don't want to have sex anymore is a little bit of a problem. Because I know that choosing to continue having sex without us being married is affecting my spirituality too .This gave me encouragement to go through with my choice .My only fear is that he will think that am saying that I want us to get married .
Boitumelo Mthembu I did the same thing with my wife back when we were dating. 1 year after being celibate we decided to get married after we had a year of a heavily sexual relationship. It was difficult but God is blessing our marriage now more than ever with great communication and trust. The goal of being girlfriend and boyfriend should be because you see a future with that person. If you do not see yourself married to him in the future, then you guys should not be together. Much love sis! God bless you and remember to always communicate with him clearly:)
My sister and I struggled with porn and masturbation since the ages of 10 and 11 we both were exposed to porn by older teens at a very young age. But god has made us both strong enough to stay celibate I hope that I can continue to stay celibate and wait for my future wife. I have been repenting, asking for forgiveness asking for strength and guidance. And so far god has not let me down.
Hell I'm very much addicted to pornography...but now I'm trying to run away fro this evil intention,, guys please pray for me to over come this temptation..

More than having people on RUclips keep you accountable, you need to tell people in your life that can consistently check on you and you tell them where you’re at. Proverbs 11:14 “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.” Also, maybe you can download the app covenant eyes on your laptop and phone or an app like it to help block things and it sends a report to a person you choose of what you’ve looked at.
We cant control it,its Why we have to surrender to god,and let him have control Over our heart,and our minds, we cant do it alone, is Why Jesús gave us the holy spirit,thank you Jesús, the center of our lifes
eliuta Lopez yes we can control it,by the studying of the word of God.it read put you under control the deeds of the body,if your in church you don't think sin so easy,if your in the word and momoires scriptures then it's easy to distory the works of the devil. prayer life fasted life puts these things under your control by the Holy Spirit power. amen.
Praise God! Pastor Steven, thank you so much for sharing this sermon. I am a youth coordinator at my church here in India, New Delhi. I was looking for a topic to discuss upon and share with our youth. I think I have got it now. This sermon is really very dear to me as I have the same understanding of the marriage covenant. I am 30now and I kept myself just for my wedded wife. While my friends were all cool with sex before marriage I had this feeling that sex is a very sacred affair and God wants us to be blessed with it in his covenant of a beautiful relation of marriage. I tried my bit to preach the same among my friends many of whom agreed and valued this gift. Thanks Pastor... Halleluiah
Pam Boone but we are also commanded to depart for a time from each other,lest Satan tempt you and him. and we stop for a time of fasting before God as he cammand in the same book which most church people never do. and most don't teach this whole counsel very interesting fact. be Holy in all manner of life.
I'm 31still virgin ,ask me how I have been fighting this battle for the past year The answer is,i spent more time with the holy spirit,singing and making melody in my heart,praying to choose the right partner now also hoping to be established financially to care for her,thanks for praying with me
Thank you Pastor Steven, this was a great one. Wish I would have saw this years ago. I finally got it right however. Thank God. I am divorced since 2011 I love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sex is something that is not in my life anymore, but the best part of it, is I am good with it. I was married 17 years, and now finally I am great being by myself. Thank you to our Heavenly Father. I feel like ALL the younger generation should be taught this, in the way you just did it,maybe then they would understand. We all know we are living in the end times, and this world is getting worse and worse. How great it would be to bring more and more people to our Lord and Savior. God bless all.
i am so much bless with this sermon was compromised and cant control my passion but now i can feel that i' am sets free from this sermon. please i need pray for my faith being strong
Steve you're a blessing to my life you're very inspirational thank you God has chosen a young man like you and your wife to bring so many people to Christ God bless you and your church
I watched him for the first time with my mom. I was just thinking about him, but couldn't remember his name. Then poof, he's in my recommendations. Thank you Lord. Whoo!! A little odd that this was the topic I found though 😂
Amen, Thank you GOD, for using your servant to preached boldly your Words. I am 26yrs old and I really kept my dignity as a woman, and I'm still waiting for the right man someday. I will put my passion in a right way, and waiting YOU GOD patiently, I LOVE you better than My lust of flesh.HELP me to Honor and love Your commandments GOD.
There are so many truths here that I wish I had heard sooner. I gave my heart to Jesus when I was 20. I got involved with a non believer when I was 35. He was so wrong for me and I became sexually involved with him. We split up after God made it clear to me that I was being disobedient and that He was all I needed. It is very difficult to be single and 44 and a woman. Especially in church where everyone mentions "why are you still single? Why don't you have kids yet?" It is a real problem and makes me feel unaccepted and less than. I have been addressing these issues of feeling unwanted in my devotions, and trying to focus my attention on who God is, and what He wants for my life. I heard that you become like those you surround yourself with, so I am doing that by involving myself with Christian singles groups around town here. It's a journey.😊
@Sheri Kwasnik God has the best plan. Trust Him fully and seek Him rather than what you desire. If you desire to be married, I believe God wants to be glorified in you being married, so put all things before Him in prayer so He can make the way. Don't go about trying to make the way. Seek to move according to God's guidance only, with your full focus on Him, that way you won't make any unnecessary detours or delay his blessing for you. God bless you!
Order; The key word is order. It is okay for a man to fall helplessly, but it is important to rise and clean up your body and learn how not to fall again. Great message from the preacher.
Thank you for that sermon! Yeah I was addicted to porn for i think 15 years!! I am 26 so long time. Plus multiple partners since i was fifteen but guess what? God is greater then that! Ever since I gave my life and begged the lord to help me because I couldn't get out of that pit by myself i am free and free INDEED! THANK YOU GOD! Halleluja 🙌
The first and official pastor I actually listen to that makes a lot of sense. Thank you my LORD, my KING, my SAVIOR, my EVERYTHING, for bringing this wonderful powerful messages that come from pastor Steven Furtick 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Am blessed! I pray that God will provide me the strength to hold on and stay astray from sinful act. . God give me the strength that I won't fall apart in days to come. Praise God.
Thing is that SO MANY sexual fires are fostered without parameters, me included. The very thing that spiritual leaders FAIL to take about is what the enemy uses against us because of our ignorance. That's one regret of mine - not knowing this stuff from a younger age.
I was about 7 years old when my sister got anorexia and my other sister was smoking weed and so I had no good bakcground I was ruined when I was 11 years old I thought that poenography makes and fill me up, I watched it for about 3 years and I can tell you my brother and sister, do not do that God doesn't want it when you do that it makes you worst than before! God loves you my brother and sister He is our God and I can say when you accept the Salvation. If you accept Jesus Christ you will be healed and you will be a child of God(John 1:12) He is our Salvation. He is our Hope. Our Rock and He helps us He doesn't want it to hurt you He will not do that. But He will not stop you if you want that He will not stop you, you need to choose! Now you can choose live your life like I did and find no rest or find rest in God and will be healed! You have to choose.
Eboni Taylor it's never good in formation that's what the teaching also holds. some church people will not trun ,and some will. such a message cause us to consider what we will do with what we heard. the wrong way is our way the right way is God way, no comprise.
very well put, I don't know much of this young man's doctrine on Christ,but he touches on areas that millions of weak knee preachers don't,because most are in sin. Thank God for this message it follows holyness and sacitfication, with self-control against worldly passions and lust,well do.
Catholics teach this completely wrong. My whole life in catholic schools, nobody explained why or how or who said because of what. Teachers will just tell us no don’t do it because it’s a sin and you’ll go to hell. That’s it. And of course to a teenager this is reverse psychology and a green light for yes because we don’t have an explanation why. We, Catholics, don’t understand why. We don’t have a root to the subject to hold on to and we just let it grow out of control. I wish a lot of things in the Catholic Church changed about teaching.
Nicole Borowski Because ur not told at ur school dosent necessarily mean all catholics shcool or catholics in general does that . Sometimes its about finding out yourself .isnt that life.
Hey Nicole ,I am not a Catholic I am a member of Zion Christian Church it is one of the biggest churches in South Africa. I was never taught or told why I should not have sex before marriage. I then started researching about this because I am now a youth teacher .I feel that sometimes there are reasons why we are the lucky ones to see such videos because through you other can get to others .Perhaps God knew that by showing you this ,it would not only help you but perhaps someone will understand it when he uses you to say it to them . (That is my thought ,I may be wrong)
Catholic teaching even more deeper and beautiful. Have a look some video on sexuality ruclips.net/video/f0mX8cyrCQY/видео.html, read a book Theology of the body from Pope John Paul II. Please don't blame other, it is also our responsibility to know more our faith.
I'm so blessed by this message and every preaching I watch from you pastor Steve. God bless your ministry for reaching out to pple all over he world and winning nd changing souls for Christ . from Nairobi Kenya.
Beautiful Sermon Applying moral precepts in a relationship before Holy Matrimony i.e. going through the motions - courtship is The Most Amazing Love as Good intended
I love this pastor so much because everything he says just goes straight to my heart like he is so good a preaching and he is also funny, he reminds of this teen that preached the first time I went to church and didn’t really care about God but then I felt his presence and the most real relationship began
"you can do a good thing in the wrong way and it becomes a bad thing" MOST POWERFUL THING I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME 👏🙌 God's not saying ''dont build the fire''.....he's just saying ''build the fire in the right place''
I love this teaching. I just wish it gave solutions to those whose fires were lit long before we could decide what was good or wrong. And now we have no more fires even in the marriage
You must be born again. That's Jesus' word. It's the fresh start you need with God. Then Jesus can guide, heal and restore. You'll be able to address everything with God through prayer. I recommend you lookup this video: _Born Again Through Repentance And Faith by Zac Poonen._ It's about an hour long clip. You can start listening to it @ 21:46. Blessings and peace to you!
wow !!!! To Jesus be all the glory for your life Pastor Steven.... I always excited to watch and hear your preaching.... You have a great wisdom and knowledge to explain your sermon... Because of that to GOD be all the glory. I declare and prophesize to you that GOD gonna use you mightily, Abundant blessing and good health. GOD bless you sir. this is Khayle Mico Halili from the Republic of the Philippines, your follower in CHRIST... Hope to see you and hear your sermon personally.
Thank you Pastor. Steve thanks for the eye opening for the youths. It is completely equipping us the right way GOD want us to be. Thanks a lot and thanks a lot Pastor. Steve.
I ran into this video skeptical about the subject because some don’t know how to speak about this particular subject in public..... however, I’m impressed and loved the interpretation and symbolism given. Kudos to this dude 👍🏼

Really wonderful to hear God's word This sermon really helped me to understand about temptations in a relationship and how Christ helps us to get rid of it Thank u so much Steven God bless u
I've been addicted to pornography for the last ten years, since I was nine years old.
My fire was certainly lit in the wrong place at the wrong time.
God is healing me though. It's been a long, hard road, but I'm healing, slowly.
Ask god to help you overcome it.

Good word Pastor Steven! I've lived both ways (one before Christ & other after I surrendered my life). Biggest lie of our culture is that we can live however we want without consequences. Much better to live within God's boundaries!

Sex is a good thing , IF YOU'RE MARRIED !
Nah sex is just a good thing. Period.
i'm sorry but *YOU'RE
Sex is an even better thing if both people consent first
Grammar is a good thing, but *you're* , using it wrong
it's unnecessary but I've seen so much "you're" sentences that when I see a wrong usage of your and you're, my grammar demon inside suddenly awakens. hehehe.
It should be "you're" because it's a shortcut for "you are".
"If you are married." The use of your is for possession. Your bag not you are bag.
For those asking this is from the Meant To Be series. This particular week is Marry or Burn. Vote up so others can see 🤙🏾
Very true, but a good marraige, not just a marraige. There ppl who are not married and have great relationships, I dont understand why they just dont get married, I believe they should. There are horrible marraiges, I cant see how sex in that could be good.,I dont know why not end it. Either way is God to judge and guide and deliver through prayer.

Also, maybe you can download the app covenant eyes on your laptop and phone or an app like it to help block things and it sends a report to a person you choose of what you’ve looked at.
We cant control it,its Why we have to surrender to god,and let him have control Over our heart,and our minds, we cant do it alone, is Why Jesús gave us the holy spirit,thank you Jesús, the center of our lifes
Absolutely right
You can control lust
eliuta Lopez yes we can control it,by the studying of the word of God.it read put you under control the deeds of the body,if your in church you don't think sin so easy,if your in the word and momoires scriptures then it's easy to distory the works of the devil. prayer life fasted life puts these things under your control by the Holy Spirit power. amen.
U have dealed with today's biggest problem with an eye opening sermon and given best solution for this... Praise the Lord.. God bless u
In 14 minutes everything has just made sense. So grateful.
Praise God! Pastor Steven, thank you so much for sharing this sermon. I am a youth coordinator at my church here in India, New Delhi. I was looking for a topic to discuss upon and share with our youth. I think I have got it now. This sermon is really very dear to me as I have the same understanding of the marriage covenant. I am 30now and I kept myself just for my wedded wife. While my friends were all cool with sex before marriage I had this feeling that sex is a very sacred affair and God wants us to be blessed with it in his covenant of a beautiful relation of marriage. I tried my bit to preach the same among my friends many of whom agreed and valued this gift. Thanks Pastor... Halleluiah
Yessssssss sir. Sex is designed by GOD and is intended to be a good thing.......be fruitful and multiply
Pam Boone was the only way that the one was able too and the other person had
Pam Boone but we are also commanded to depart for a time from each other,lest Satan tempt you and him. and we stop for a time of fasting before God as he cammand in the same book which most church people never do. and most don't teach this whole counsel very interesting fact. be Holy in all manner of life.
I'm 31still virgin ,ask me how I have been fighting this battle for the past year
The answer is,i spent more time with the holy spirit,singing and making melody in my heart,praying to choose the right partner now also hoping to be established financially to care for her,thanks for praying with me
I will
Really ur virgin
Thank you Pastor Steven, this was a great one. Wish I would have saw this years ago. I finally got it right however. Thank God. I am divorced since 2011 I love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sex is something that is not in my life anymore, but the best part of it, is I am good with it. I was married 17 years, and now finally I am great being by myself. Thank you to our Heavenly Father. I feel like ALL the younger generation should be taught this, in the way you just did it,maybe then they would understand. We all know we are living in the end times, and this world is getting worse and worse. How great it would be to bring more and more people to our Lord and Savior. God bless all.
i am so much bless with this sermon
was compromised and cant control my passion but now i can feel that i' am sets free from this sermon. please i need pray for my faith being strong
Steve you're a blessing to my life you're very inspirational thank you God has chosen a young man like you and your wife to bring so many people to Christ God bless you and your church
Yes, he was chosen by God, Amen
I watched him for the first time with my mom. I was just thinking about him, but couldn't remember his name. Then poof, he's in my recommendations. Thank you Lord. Whoo!!
A little odd that this was the topic I found though 😂
Amen, Thank you GOD, for using your servant to preached boldly your Words.
I am 26yrs old and I really kept my dignity as a woman, and I'm still waiting for the right man someday.
I will put my passion in a right way, and waiting YOU GOD patiently, I LOVE you better than My lust of flesh.HELP me to Honor and love Your commandments GOD.
Raychel26 Gabutero hey Raychels26 please I'm looking for someone to help me, I'm in anyway way so as to provide for ma parents. please reply.
There are so many truths here that I wish I had heard sooner. I gave my heart to Jesus when I was 20. I got involved with a non believer when I was 35. He was so wrong for me and I became sexually involved with him. We split up after God made it clear to me that I was being disobedient and that He was all I needed. It is very difficult to be single and 44 and a woman. Especially in church where everyone mentions "why are you still single? Why don't you have kids yet?" It is a real problem and makes me feel unaccepted and less than. I have been addressing these issues of feeling unwanted in my devotions, and trying to focus my attention on who God is, and what He wants for my life. I heard that you become like those you surround yourself with, so I am doing that by involving myself with Christian singles groups around town here. It's a journey.😊
@Sheri Kwasnik God has the best plan. Trust Him fully and seek Him rather than what you desire. If you desire to be married, I believe God wants to be glorified in you being married, so put all things before Him in prayer so He can make the way. Don't go about trying to make the way. Seek to move according to God's guidance only, with your full focus on Him, that way you won't make any unnecessary detours or delay his blessing for you.
God bless you!
Order; The key word is order.
It is okay for a man to fall helplessly, but it is important to rise and clean up your body and learn how not to fall again.
Great message from the preacher.
Thank you for caring about us enough to reach the things people do not want to hear
Word in due season... God bless you in Jesus name Pastor Steven Furtick!!!
Thank you for that sermon!
Yeah I was addicted to porn for i think 15 years!! I am 26 so long time. Plus multiple partners since i was fifteen but guess what?
God is greater then that! Ever since I gave my life and begged the lord to help me because I couldn't get out of that pit by myself i am free and free INDEED! THANK YOU GOD!
Halleluja 🙌
ameen
Such a great sermon about getting your passions in the right order.
I was asking God for help and an answer and he sent this video. Thank You, I needed to hear those words.
AMEN! This message is fire in the right place...🔥🔥🔥
Thank You Lord for this message! My heart is touched♥️♥️♥️
First time I've heard this guy. Love him!
God certainly suggested this to me for a reason.
The first and official pastor I actually listen to that makes a lot of sense. Thank you my LORD, my KING, my SAVIOR, my EVERYTHING, for bringing this wonderful powerful messages that come from pastor Steven Furtick 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not religious in the least.
But this man has a strength about him that is beautiful to witness. Another example of what belief can do to your heart.
Jesus wasn't religious either.
Am blessed! I pray that God will provide me the strength to hold on and stay astray from sinful act.
. God give me the strength that I won't fall apart in days to come.
Praise God.
You can with God's grace. It's the key.
Lookup on RUclips 'True Repentance by Zac Poonen.' I pray it encourages you.
Peace to you!
“You’re miserable because you’re watching the bachelor.” 🤣🤣🤣 okay I don’t watch that show but seriously got me cracking up he’s such a cool pastor!
I'm 26 and waiting it's not hard but challenging this sermon get me through many times I have to wait for God blessing it's never to late
Jesus I need forgiveness..
@@lancer717 thank you so much for your valuable advice...
Repent
😢
A-deg-bo-ye-ga needs forgiveness .
@@wolfram-gk9mz I have repent but I have people in my life reminding me of my past.
HALLELUJAH! the whole fire analogy was too smooth. I've never heard from a preacher who sounds like a prophet.
Thing is that SO MANY sexual fires are fostered without parameters, me included. The very thing that spiritual leaders FAIL to take about is what the enemy uses against us because of our ignorance. That's one regret of mine - not knowing this stuff from a younger age.
Yes, not knowing God makes us err.
Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
I was about 7 years old when my sister got anorexia and my other sister was smoking weed and so I had no good bakcground I was ruined when I was 11 years old I thought that poenography makes and fill me up, I watched it for about 3 years and I can tell you my brother and sister, do not do that God doesn't want it when you do that it makes you worst than before! God loves you my brother and sister He is our God and I can say when you accept the Salvation. If you accept Jesus Christ you will be healed and you will be a child of God(John 1:12) He is our Salvation. He is our Hope. Our Rock and He helps us He doesn't want it to hurt you He will not do that. But He will not stop you if you want that He will not stop you, you need to choose! Now you can choose live your life like I did and find no rest or find rest in God and will be healed! You have to choose.
Sex is good but in the right context..💯✨🙌🏾
you're gorgeous sister
Eboni Taylor it's never good in formation that's what the teaching also holds. some church people will not trun ,and some will. such a message cause us to consider what we will do with what we heard. the wrong way is our way the right way is God way, no comprise.
very well put, I don't know much of this young man's doctrine on Christ,but he touches on areas that millions of weak knee preachers don't,because most are in sin. Thank God for this message it follows holyness and sacitfication, with self-control against worldly passions and lust,well do.
Catholics teach this completely wrong. My whole life in catholic schools, nobody explained why or how or who said because of what. Teachers will just tell us no don’t do it because it’s a sin and you’ll go to hell. That’s it. And of course to a teenager this is reverse psychology and a green light for yes because we don’t have an explanation why. We, Catholics, don’t understand why. We don’t have a root to the subject to hold on to and we just let it grow out of control. I wish a lot of things in the Catholic Church changed about teaching.
Nicole Borowski
Because ur not told at ur school dosent necessarily mean all catholics shcool or catholics in general does that .
Sometimes its about finding out yourself .isnt that life.
so... is this pastor was saying right or wrong?Miss.Nicole from your point of view
Hey Nicole ,I am not a Catholic I am a member of Zion Christian Church it is one of the biggest churches in South Africa. I was never taught or told why I should not have sex before marriage. I then started researching about this because I am now a youth teacher .I feel that sometimes there are reasons why we are the lucky ones to see such videos because through you other can get to others .Perhaps God knew that by showing you this ,it would not only help you but perhaps someone will understand it when he uses you to say it to them .
(That is my thought ,I may be wrong)
Text me on Darmuzamil14@gmail.com
Catholic teaching even more deeper and beautiful. Have a look some video on sexuality ruclips.net/video/f0mX8cyrCQY/видео.html, read a book Theology of the body from Pope John Paul II. Please don't blame other, it is also our responsibility to know more our faith.
I'm so blessed by this message and every preaching I watch from you pastor Steve. God bless your ministry for reaching out to pple all over he world and winning nd changing souls for Christ . from Nairobi Kenya.
Youth definitely need to hear this...!
Beautiful Sermon
Applying moral precepts in a relationship before Holy Matrimony i.e. going through the motions - courtship is The Most Amazing Love as Good intended
I thank You Lord, I was able to stop to be tempted again. Please include me in your prayers too.
Of Course
I love this pastor so much because everything he says just goes straight to my heart like he is so good a preaching and he is also funny, he reminds of this teen that preached the first time I went to church and didn’t really care about God but then I felt his presence and the most real relationship began
One of the best explanations I've heard! Thanks!
Awesome sermon.we really need to hear this again and again
I think this is something that needs to be said.i love your sermons
"you can do a good thing in the wrong way and it becomes a bad thing" MOST POWERFUL THING I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME
👏🙌
God's not saying ''dont build the fire''.....he's just saying ''build the fire in the right place''
That is what i needed exactly. God Bless You Sir!!!
Wow this man is telling the truth.... Amen
Thank you pastor Steve furtick!! Vessel of God !
This is powerful & helping
Thank You Pastor for this Message
God give us the grace.
Amazing. Thank you very much. God bless you. Amen.
I love this teaching. I just wish it gave solutions to those whose fires were lit long before we could decide what was good or wrong. And now we have no more fires even in the marriage
You must be born again. That's Jesus' word. It's the fresh start you need with God. Then Jesus can guide, heal and restore. You'll be able to address everything with God through prayer.
I recommend you lookup this video: _Born Again Through Repentance And Faith by Zac Poonen._ It's about an hour long clip. You can start listening to it @ 21:46.
Blessings and peace to you!
wow !!!! To Jesus be all the glory for your life Pastor Steven.... I always excited to watch and hear your preaching.... You have a great wisdom and knowledge to explain your sermon... Because of that to GOD be all the glory.
