      It is my first time listening to him. Wow! I see the lights and I can see everyone! Most churches are so dark and focus lights on pastors or the worship leaders. That’s another distraction Satan comes. Love his message and His Words His Words we need to dig...🙂🙏🏽👍

      Actually this church is also have dark rooms during singing....why people follow what the world is doing....this singing in the dark room reminds me of Satan loves dark places ...love his message but ask yourself why dark room? Focus the lights on all people...

    I did a lot of work on social media specifically Instagram. For 1 year the God has been telling me to take a break from it but I didnt. April 19 this year I gave my life my life to Jesus and finally surrendered to the call. I haven't been on social media since May 2020. I know God has a plan for my platforms but until I hear it clearly from him I do not see myself going back just yet.

    @maevephipson2803 4 года назад +1

    0h Wow! Praise the Lord that I heard your message. I have been glued to my phone, sending daily blessings, prayers and listening to the preaching of Perry Stone (in his message I watched this morning he mentioned your name and said you were a 'preaching machine' ) and have been receiving little darts from the Holy Spirit for months because I have stopped praying, reading my Bible, letting my daily chores back up and feeling so guilty about spending so much time on my phone. I am a retired, 73 yr old Widow. I do go to church and I am a musician in our church Worship team, however your 'wake up' call was just what I needed to get off the phone, get my daily chores done timeously, and spend more quality time in His Word and in prayer. So I will go back to reading my daily devotional, reading the Bible and praying first thing in the morning, then check any messages, get on with my chores, and any free time left over in the day I will get on to my phone and watch some preaching videos.
    I would mention that my phone is left in my car when I go to church, when I visit friends. Being old school my phone is not to be seen or heard in church, cinemas, restaurants, meetings, visiting family or friends and I get very annoyed when I visit family and have to play second fiddle to a mobile phone!. Manners maketh man/woman went out the window when smart phones came on the scene. They are indeed very distracting. Praise Him for getting me back on track with your powerful sermon 🤗

    body of Christ spiritually wake up.
    To the members of the body of Christ
    that are spiritual awake.
    Stay awake!
    Your living for Lord Jesus isn’t in vain.

    I was talking to one of my kids as they were on utube. I was carrying a one person conversation with myself. I told her she was not listening to me. She said she was. I asked her a question during my conversation to myself. She didnt know what the question was. She is addicted to her phone and my grand daugter is being ignored by her. Please pray for her that God would set the captive free. I love to have conversation I really dont care for text messaging unfortunately this is the only way most people communicate with each others. Proverbs 10:19 When we talk we need to be slow to speak and slow to anger. Wise in our speech to cultivate good seed which produces good fruit. Pray that I will not get entangled and held captive in the ways of this world. That I would always put God first. Thank you pastor I always enjoy and glean from your messages good things.

      Yes, we need to submit to the lord, resist the devil’s temptation and he will flee. It is in our nature to sin, but through God’s grace we are able to overcome the desires of sin over us. We just need to grow closer to him daily by not pleasing our flesh but following the Holy Spirit instead 👌🏾

I listened to this one and I cried and cried because it is all soo true. I worry for my children and granddaughter though they know the LORD our world is distracted to being “ upside down”!

    Discovered this Pastor online less than 2 weeks ago, so far so good. I love your teachings especially on prayer and fasting, I feel I'm in a searching period I need God, I want God and I want to walk in his goodness and mercy. I thank God for your simplicity and humility, may God increase that grace upon your life in Jesus name, Amen. Jessy from Zambia.
