I am watching this in 2024 and I can tell you it contains the ring of Truth that is so profound to transform man's soul into the new walk with God. Amazing change...❤
I used to love television, disgusting movies, & violent music. The night I was saved, it was pretty late. When I woke up the next morning, everything I used to watch & listen to offended me. It's not like I had to make an effort or something, it's that the new man I had become found my old entertainment repulsive. I started to watch sermons & listen to the songs of Zion. Glory to God!
It’s wonderful to hear of stories like yours. I had a very very similar experience myself just barely more than 6 months ago. My entire life changed almost overnight once I finally accepted the gift God has for us and saved. As a sinful fallen man I still continue to struggle with a very few issues but having the Holy Spirit inside makes it possible to finally defeat sin. I pray to the Lord every day throughout the day for Him to continue leading me and giving me the discernment I need to make it through all this. Hallelujah to the Lord Jesus Christ!
@@richardbarry04553 Amen brother! Had a very similar experience. I was raised Catholic, didn’t know anything about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was so “proud” to say I was a Catholic. I was taught you can sin and sin and some man in a booth will forgive you. When Lord Jesus Christ forgave me and saved me, my whole life changed. I’m so thankful to Christ!
This message is like a wave of water in the middle of the desert. Humble passionate love of God right here. God Bless you Pastor Lawson from Australia. 9 years later and an absolute blessing to my soul. His Word will not be void and fall on many ears for many years.
Your welcome Glenn, I'm glad you are being blessed by the video uploads and feel right at home with the Temple Baptist Church on the net, I feel the same way. God bless you too!
Well Pastor Lawson you've got me looking at myself objectively. I'm a millenial and I admit I have been on my phone and tablet far too much, playing games and not enough time with God and my family. Time to refocus. Thank you for the message if you ever read the comments.
@Patrick Baptistyou have no idea what you're saying or talking about regarding this church! If you dont like Temple Baptist or the Preacher who is teaching in this video then why tune in to these sermons? Go and listen to TD Jakes or Rick Warren, or Joel Osteen or anyone else you like to itch your ears and leave your contentious comments on their channels! Please do not respond to my comment! Read Titus 3: 9-11 and think before posting any more disgusting comments. Pray for me, as I will for you...
@@ugotit221... Christian or not, I do hope the love of our Lord Jesus moves in this person's heart. Prayer is a reciprocal action. Even those who aren't Christians can still move the heart of God! Think of the Roman Centurion who told Jesus, "I'm not worthy for you to enter my house." Was he a Christian? No, however, God heard him and saved his servant... Just a thought for you 😉
So blessed I woke up this morning and was feeling negative and have been the last three days I ask God to show me the way and I heard a loud preaching and it was my brother lawson bringing the word of God and it was a battle for the mind man that's not a coincidence. God gives you a brain we just have to trust him not our own self. Thank you preacher your a true man of God.
God bless this preacher for delivering a Holy Spirit filled sermon... To many modern day preachers are afraid to preach the whole truth of God's word, they are afraid that people will be offended but of people are offended it's only because the Holy Spirit is convicting their hearts of sin and making them aware that they are born a sinner and need a Savior, which is Christ Jesus.
I will admit I'm tired of this world. I don't think I was ever meant to be part of this world. I meant to be living in a peaceful world with Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen! God thank you for speaking through your children. I love you Jesus! Thank you for this awesome messenger Lawson. God bless him and his health Lord. Amen.
It's terrifying knowing you're currently under the wrath of God but I'm still alive so I'm going to repent and get right with Him that's all that matters
Our country needs more God fearing men like Pastor Lawson who throw out all that PC garbage at the pulpit... This man believes in teaching Bible scripture!!
thank you sir, just because of you through Lord jesus Christ mercy am understanding holy Bible clearly. thank you sir, most high god jesus bless u and ur family. I was born and raised as a hindu and was a satanist but even I cannot fathom how my life went through and found lord jesus everything happened in my lifetheough faith on Lord jesus. it all because of jesus Christ praise Jesus lord all glory to him. Jesus is amazing my lord.. want to know him everyday and night.
Amazing 👏 Amen! And thank you for sharing that- that is truly when we wake up realizing our existence and our purpose ! Praises to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
THE BEST SERMON EVER !!!!!! Everyone should be taught this as soon as they give their lives to Christ. I did this many yrs ago...threw my hands up and said whats the use...nobody ever told me what he says on this sermon. I went to hell and back and vacationed quite a few times there because I never knew what he is saying. New Christians should know this.
Pastor Lawson thank you so much for your teachings. You’re the most anointed pastor that I’ve heard in my lifetime. I was abandoned as a child and walked 5 miles to a church that taught like you. I walked there every day until my Mother realized I was gone and when she found out she began to take me.... until the truth hit her. The Holy Spirit worked and she rejected it. I was not allowed to go again. 30 years later here you are with the same recognitions of what it happening around us. Thank God, in Jesus perfect name, I found you! May God bless you and your family, friends and congregation, forever and ever amen.
This preacher i watch him all the time. he is very intelligent he preachs the bible not what people want to hear some time. i agree with 95% of ever thing i heard him say.
Its not by might nor by power but by my Spirit says the Lord.for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you he is with you even unto the end of the age he who has called you is faithful and true come what may Jesus is our rock and our foundation the victory is ours.
Amazing how a message this old touches me today Jesus saved me but yet I struggle so much some days and I'm grateful for a good teacher to help lead me to a resolution thank you Jesus for men of God that still speak your word and your word alone amen
Everyone lift me up in healing powerful prayers I’ve been dealing with panic attacks/anxiety ,mental health issues for a strong month now , and I’ve always been a doubting Thomas and I don’t want to be 😢- I want to submit and surrender to god 100% with out a shadow of a doubt - please pray for me
Amen. Brother, I so agree with you. I am praying for my grandchildren. And I am praying for our country even though it seems almost hopeless. But then I think of all the times God has rescued His people. Praise God. May we stand until He takes us from this evil world and bring as many people to God's Kingdom as we can!
Truth! Sadly so. Society implodes with decline because of these truths, sad reality. “Have you considered “the way that SEEMS right?” Help YOUR people Lord Jesus, YOUR people! Cause us to embrace your truth Lord Jesus. Cause us to examine our hearts continually before the Throne of God. Help us to repent! Turn AWAY and give NO place to the enemy of our soul! God bless you dear Pastor Lawson! Praying this WORD be extolled to a lost, dying world! 🍃🩸🙏✝️🙏🩸🍃 We must know the adversary in order to have the victory!
10 yes ago, Wow! Pastor Lawson is divinely appointed and today's word is totally applicable today, then, and well always! We should all revisit sermons like this like 4x a year at least.
Thankyou pastor Lawson, for having the courage to speak Gods word of truth without alteration. The REAL word has made ALL the difference in my life, I was so happy to find your sermons, they are set apart from the rest because they match what the KJBible says. I have been seeking out 'real' sermons for encouragement in my service to The Lord but people must know 'the word of God' has to be our SOURCE and sermons etc are to support our walk with God...so many of us (myself included) have made the mistake of allowing sermons to 'come in place of'...Pastor Lawson said it best-we MUST read our Bibles, it is the only way to know Jesus and the way he reveals himself to us and speaks to us what we need to be wary of and need to work on in ourselves to be more Christ like. encouragement and wisdom in sermons is part of the support system, but a messenger is not there to replace the source-only to enhance it!
All glory to the LORD! I love you, brothers and sisters. I pray for our family the world over that through His grace and MERCY that we'll endure til the end together, and, like Pastor Lawson says, may we *finish well*. May "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."
"Quote the word of God to him." Pastor Lawson this message was not as complex as others yet it was filled with jewels. It was eye opening when you stated that Jesus just quoted the word of God to Satan. He did not say that he was the son of God, he just used God's word on him. I love the sermon. And yes we must spend time with our sword. Thank you for being such a faithful minister. Be blessed.
AMEN pray for me ,a lost man. I long for JESUS to lift the curse of pride and sin from me. I would like to know him! but I feel I am doomed. thank you, bothers and sisters.
No problem brother , and please know that being able to admit you are struggling with pride and that you don't want it is a blessing and shows that God is changing your heart. So please be encouraged . God bless you.
I'm going to pray for you my friend.I agree with comment below.Gid Is changing your heart already.Surrander your life to Jesus.Akcept Him as your personal savior and keep praying and God will answer your prayers like He unswered mine.Im begging you not to give up on praying .Glory to God almighty for His mercy and everlasting love.!
such a precious sermon thank i was just reading about. our Lord fasting in the wilderness and the tempting .....our enemy quoted scripture to our LORD .what a a heathen .....keep your sword over and in your heart
Zion4131...thank you for spreading the word of God...it has certainly helped me through some very dark times...I praise God for the saving grace through Jesus Christ and his precious blood...and for men of God like Charles Lawson!
Watching in 2023, and this is still a fresh, on-time word!
i love watching brother Lawson before work every morning!
Feb 2024! You gotta keep commig back to this one for sure! War just came to my shores, again. So im here, again. Studying, seeking the Lord.
Amen.
@PrisonPreacher It's been utter HELL
I am watching this in 2024 and I can tell you it contains the ring of Truth that is so profound to transform man's soul into the new walk with God. Amazing change...❤
A true preacher of the gospel. The majority of Pastors today don’t preach the hard truth. 🙏🏼
I used to love television, disgusting movies, & violent music. The night I was saved, it was pretty late. When I woke up the next morning, everything I used to watch & listen to offended me.
