Powerful short film. I lived this. Lost my mom at 22 and ran from God and into the wilderness. The spiritual wilderness is truly a desolate place and I wandered there and wrestled internally for seven years. I did it my way and life became a living hell. I became so hollow. Once you have experienced knowing Jesus, you'll never find peace without Him. He is the way, the truth, and the life and there is no life without Him.
Praying for (especially) men to be called and blessed to preach the Good News everywhere, to all corners of the earth. 🌏✝️ “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 NKJV
Shalom Janna, i'm wondering. Hasn't that already happend??? I guess you would hope more would actually believe in the good news. I'm i right? And what is the good news according to you? For i want to spread it. Yet, don't know where to start. Jesus spoke about the kingdom and i don't know how to share that. I try, yet it doesn't land on anyone so far.
I seem to recall Jesus saying in that passage: "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved." You believe that baptism saves you, yes? Peter certainly did: "And corresponding to that [i.e., Noah and his family passing through the flood], baptism now saves you" (1 Pet 3:21). Yet so many people who call themselves Christians misrepresent and deny the very commandment which provides for salvation.
“ Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and dine with him and he with Me.” Jesus Christ, Revelations 3:20.
Pray for me . I been doing the same thing of not spreading the gospel. It makes me mad and sad and lost that I don’t Love the people as I should. I don’t deserve anymore to come to Jesus but I only need Him but I been praying but this Sin is like ruling over me. In Jesus name no sin rules over us.
Hey Jesus is real don't feel pressured to preach the gospel Jesus said my yoke is easy and my burden is light and He said He was Gentle and Meek what's more important is Your relationship with GOD then secondarily that You should love You neighbor as You love Yourself
@@clementchiyani Thank you. I needed this.💕 Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. God is so good. Amen💕
@JesusisrealLovee Hey what I'd say as I'm on the same journey with Jesus, is that listen to when the Holy Spirit tells u and gives u those right opportunities because you'll know and want to take action. Keep asking God for help to. "For the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." And know your forgiven. Just keep trying. And keep on growing in your relationship with God and Jesus. God bless! Amen. 😊✌️❤
This is a good little film not only because the message is real, but the young man is a great actor! He is so natural in all his lines and emotions. Clearly hus Bible had been well read in the past, emphasizing the point that Paul used to believe. This movie is not cheesy like many faith bsed movies. The story line is true to lufe as many believers can atest. It was a blessing to see this film pop up in my feed this morning.
Because our temporary suffering brings GOD glory, JESUS came to this world lived a sinless perfect life died on the cross rose from the dead. love put JESUS on that cross. for GOD so ( loved ) the world that HE gave his only begotten SON that whoever believes in HIM shall have everlasting life.
@@lorimuscarella5182 love is the key , GOD is love is an action & not the love of man , the agape ( love ) of GOD . John 3:16 for GOD so loved the world that HE ( gave ) HIS only begotten son that whoever believes in HIM shall have eternal life. love is active it is something that has to be done . Love is not put in the heart to stay love is not love until it's given away.
Blood of Jesus Christ paid as penalty for the the remission of our sins on the Cross.. Believe in heart+Confess with your mouth that Jesus dies for your sins and rose again = Salvation..
@@VijayReddy-gb5li Mark 1:14-15 KJV [14] Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, [15] and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Acts 2:37-39 KJV [37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? [38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 20:20-21 KJV [20] and how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, [21] testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Without repentance there is no rebirth, and repentance is also from God, you just have to receive it to mourn your sin and turn from it through the power of the Holy Spirit. You cannot believe without repentance, and you know that it is so, but as long as you still love sin, and your faith is not from the heart, the Word of God cannot work. Repentance is the call of God, which comes through the Holy Spirit and people do not want to receive it because they love sin, and do not realize how expensive sin cost. Acts 17:30-31 KJV [30] And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: [31] because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
What a fantastic example for sharing our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ with the lost!!! Well done, precious brother!!! I literally had chills and tears!!! My love and prayers are with you and with all!!!🕊✝️💞
Ahh, from someone who finally stopped running from God a few years ago, beautiful! I got chills even before the video started and even though I hear from God often and don't doubt His love for me and my purpose in serving Him, I love that He led me here as a reminder of His goodness to His people, how He wants us to spread the truth and love to people around us
...that look you get when your name is Paul and you've gone thru a pair of running shoes every few months for decades and this shows up on a Sunday in your feed. Mom used to pinch me when I wasn't paying attention in church too... ;?) Peace be with you. Message recieved... again! Well done.
These boys did a GREAT job! Excellent short film. At 70 I have experienced much loss and pain and disappointment but all along the way - there have also been great joys in His presence and the peace of God which passes understanding, moments of wonder and amazement as I have watched the Lord transform and heal many lives. As much as I loved what you did and praise the talents of these boys and the film maker - I wish you had included the balance - yes there is suffering in life but there is also joy and peace in Him
I don't mean this in a negative way, but God created humor, and I don't believe they meant anything derogatory towards our Father God. It's just a figure of speech. I do understand where you are coming from. Thanks. God Bless❤😊

Awesome! It spoke volumes of His longing love toward me! Glory to Jesus! Thanks for a beautiful presentation, "the conversation"! I feel a close and continuous encounter with the Holy Spirit, watching it repeatedly. Blessed be God! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Well done for a wonderful, powerful little film. Reminds me of all the times I ran from God instead of to him but he never stopped pursuing me. "The man upstairs" is a bit grating as it sounds like they don't know who God really is, but I think here he is being relatable to Paul. Very moving and beautiful music too.
I think the phrase “the man upstairs” comes from Genesis 28:12 where Jacob had a dream, “And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!” In some translations, like the NLT, it says “stairway”. And the word man, well, Jesus is God and He was a man. ❤️

Life is a journey. The Cross Of Christ is where real understanding of this journey begins. THE WORD OF GOD, TAUGHT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD… EQUIPS THE MAN OF GOD, TO DO THE WILL OF GOD. Ask God to bring you out of the darkness of this world INTO the Light that only Jesus can bring to you. Get one on one with Him. Repent, and put all your faith in Jesus. Salvation is not a group thing.
@@fantacylifetv9109in my opinion, yes. He is God! And should be addressed as that. There are other biblical names but “man upstairs” is not one of them. We should try to show honor and respect to our Heavenly Father as best we can. Thanks for asking and hope that helps a bit.

There are no "Good People". Suffering is how we glorify God.

Embrace your suffering and cling to Him. It will draw you closer to Him, glorify Him and bring you a future that far outweighs any suffering we can face in this life.
