I am so uplifted with your teaching in these unbelievable days. I know you must be exhausted but you have no idea how much your words helps me & others. God Bless you ✝️
Be anxious for nothing Noel, rejoice in the Lord and he will free you from the prison of anxiety! Max taught us this in the Anxious for Nothing study and oh boy, it works! Praise the Lord!
Good Friday morning. I pray God blesses you whoever reads this. Gods grace is so peaceful and calming and soothing. God is so gracious to us and loves us so,look at the cross and Jesus. Have a blessed wonderful day and weekend in Jesus Holy name. Jesus is Lord. Psalms 27 & 91
PASTOR MAX: EVERYDAY I am so grateful for your kind guidance and explanation of Gods great vision. I am never disappointed with your insight and interpretation of Gods grace and instruction To move forward in Leadership and in the likeness of Christ Almighty God bless us all.
I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed and cherished these little nuggets of motivation, love, peace and truth that you bring to me and others. I call them my daily “uplifters”. Thank you. So much knowledge and love felt in such a small little package. That just shows how powerful our Lord’s word is especially when it’s interpreted through such a wonderful pastor.
Thank you for talking and explaining more about being “Born Again”. I think today unless you are older, like I am, the younger generations do not know the term or it’s meaning. I never hear the term used in my church anymore. So glad to know I am Born Again!! Again thank you Bro. Max Lucado!!
Thank you for this Word today. Sometimes I take some scripture for granted. This would be the case with John 3:16 and of being born again. I’ve read and said them so many times. I’m an old woman but I’m reminded there is always more to get from the Living Word. During this time of COVID -1, I’ve grown tired. Please pray for physical and spiritual revival. My heart is all God,s but I could use a booster shot. Thank you and bless you. ❤️🙏❤️
An interesting point... John 3:8 in the original Greek has for personal pronouns... "The Spirit where He willeth doth blow, and His voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence He cometh, and whither He goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit"
Thank you for these daily messages. They have and are getting me through each day. God loves us and has never left us or will forsake us. Thank God we have a new birth. We are blessed.God bless you Max Lucado.
Thank you 😊 for reminding us of God’s love. Please pray that I can stay healthy to help my friend. She helped me last year ehh. I was so sick. Bless you 🙏🏻
Praying for you sister in Christ so many of us have delayed doctors appointments and surgeries we must pray for each of other to stay strong and healthy without pain
Thanks for sharing, Pastor Lucado. My prayer requests: Salvation for wife, Anne, and debt relief. We have a lot of consumer debt. Thanks for your prayers.
Like most others... this is the first scripture I ever memorized. But until today I never put AS much thought into the depth of what it meant. Thank you Pastor ❤🤗
You have no idea of how many of us are Blessed by these postings. Thank you so much once again for Blessing me with The Word of God. As long as the Lord leads you post these messages, I ask that you PLEASE continue to deliver them messages to us. I know I look forward to hearing them.
This is so true everyone. I have experienced this myself. It is the best thing that can happen to you. Keep choosing God's will over your own, and soon you will delight in it. I now cannot imagine living any other way. Trust God 🎀
I have heard the text of John 3:16 used in many a sermon but never with the power of your message today. Thanks be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to the Father and Holy Spirit. I am so glad He gave.........and keeps on giving. Love you brother Max in this great Faith.
Thank you for the message and the opportunity for prayer. Please pray my two daughters would return to Jesus and truly want a close relationship with Him.
Thank you Pastor Max, your words fills me with hope,and the prayers that I know have been answered. Please keep praying so I won´t let the hand of Jesus and I can hold on to the wonderful love and mercy that He promised us. Thank you, and so much blessings for you and family.
I just found this channel and I'm absolutely loving it. Such a great message and glory to God. The meaning of being born again and labor not needing childs help is a beautiful description.
Thank you so much for these beautiful gifts everyday. Please, if I may humbly ask you not to stop them after we are able to return to church. I live in North Carolina and would not be able to attend your services. I am in such need of your healing voice and heart speaking His words. I’m sorry if what I am asking would be hard, I have just been so helped by your time. You and yours, have been such bright lighthouses in the constant darkness of the storms. While I am so broken, He will lead me to listen to the days message and it helps me get up and breath in His hope. If you can’t, that’s ok, I understand. But I just thought I would ask. I pray God will show your humble heart, how much you really have helped by inviting us into your home to study His saving words. No one can take away your voice, and you are using it encouragingly for Him. He so deserves that. I am so thankful he gave us you in such a time as this, and all times. I understand you don’t know me, however just like saying thank you doesn’t seem enough for our Savior, I pray you both will understand my sincere Thank You’s for saving me and helping me to continue to try and fight. Some darkness’s won’t seem to go away no matter how much I pray and ask and it has wrecked me my whole life and has stolen almost everything. Your prayers and teaching is helping me hold onto the fact that I am saved and forgiven, through this road that never seems to stop with torment and broken dreams and heartache. I can never do enough (pray, repent, release, forgive) to ultimately break the chains and strongholds. My heart, fight and mind has weakened now, and I am solely running on trying to just believe His truth and words. My life is so completely different from what I thought it would be for Him, and it literally breaks me everyday. I guess I am spiritually lacking or stupid because I just can’t seem to breakthrough. I understand it has to be me, I have tried so hard, in asking Him for His removal of whatever needs to be gone, but He doesn’t. So I resort to I need to fix this, I didn’t want this kind of broken life. I saw around me where it would end up, so I tried to choose differently. I have done studies and prayed and asked, but I just end up the same way in the same situation. I realize this is His story and not mine, so I am grateful He has saved me and my Son and his family, I just wanted so much to be emotionally and mentally stronger through this life for the fight and to accomplish something for Him to fruition. But my life has been stolen and waisted by trying to break unhealthy chains and generational curses and I am left with regret. So please understand, that I am thanking you for helping me to really believe an trust through this depression that has now taken hold, and won’t seem to flee. I am grateful that you have been able to do things that make His heart sing and give Him the glory He so rightfully deserves. Because He is so worth it and I know that deep down, He deserves all that is pristine and pure! So when you fought off the fear to answer His call, He used you to help me (us) and I Thank you, in Jesus Name, thank you. Love in Christ.🙏
Thanks for hanging in there for us Pastor Max. I have followed you for a long time, and now, have been encouraged and helped daily by your Caronavirus check-in. Who knew that this would go on for so long!! I came to depend on your uplifting messages and the addition of the music from the very start and look forward to checking in with you each day. Thanks for being there! God bless you!
My daughter and I are estranged. I want to reach out to her. She has rejected all my attempts in the past. I need a miracle. Thank you Jesus for hearing my prayer.
Thank you for this beautiful message. Love how you explained it. I am excited because I received your Encouraging Word Bible and also Facing Your Giants today. Both my 95 year old Mamma and I will read it. I am doing the online Bible Study. Prayers and God Bless.
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Thank you Jesus. I have prayed about witnessing to someone tomorrow and had my bible open to John 3. I see your video come up and listen to exactly what I want to say. Amazing. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.
John 3:16 is the first verse of the Bible I ever memorized, back in my childhood. For many reasons during all these years and for many years I kinda lost or forgot it...now you`re making it `be born` again in my mind. Its content is so powerful...thank you Pastor Max for these videos, for your explanations and examples. Thank you! God bless you abundantly
Thank you, Pastor Lucado. Love that lesson on the Greek word again. Two words for again. Which one is used in "...and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures ..." Bless you.
GODS LOVE & MIRACLE & HIS STRENGHT. HIS PROCESS IN US. IN ME. Born again. Jesus in me... Not My own strength. My own will? I really need more of You Jesus; and of You Holy Spirit; in Me.
Pastor your words of encouragement have been a light each day that I eagerly look forward to! Thank you so much and may God bless you and your ministry! I know in my life it is greatly appreciated.
We thank you Pastor Max we need these reminders. “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. I know so many Christians who think they are good so they get a pass to heaven. But if that is true how Good is Good enough?? and if that were so why was it necessary for Jesus to die?? He died for our sins. No man is without sin. I pray for salvation around the world that those confused about how to get to heaven that they find the truth find Jesus and accept him as Lord and Savior.
Please help me out! I love God and I trust him so much. I finally got to form a relationship with him during this quarantine. I haven’t gone to church in a few years so I’m looking at online churches. But I haven’t been baptized and I’m afraid that because of that I won’t be able to go to heaven. The main reason for me going to church was because of my aunt but we moved so I stopped going. Please help me!😩I’m only 13 so I can’t rlly sign myself up but I rlly want to make it to heaven😭 I’ve prayed for forgiveness and that when I get the chance when I’m older, I would do it. But I don’t want to be too late if the end of times come before them. Please please help me
I've been struggling my entire christian life (about 20+ odd years). To this day, I still cannot wrap my head around what any of this means. That you be "born again". Or that Jesus died so that we could live. I simply, no matter how hard I try, can't comprehend it. Maybe I'm just too dumb to go to know God.
Thank you Pastor for the beautiful message today. My husband and I are wanting to rededicate our lives to Christ. We also want to be baptized. We had the opportunity but my fear of water kept us from it. Could you talk a little about the baptism part? I’m praying we will get the opportunity to be baptized this summer. I’m ashamed of my fear, but I have a desire in my soul to be baptized. I can’t explain any better than that. Maybe a longing? I want to get my life, my husband his life, right with the Father. Than you again Pastor. God Bless you!
You should continue to pray about it. God will be with you ,His Holy Spirit will be with you. When the time is right you'll feel it in your heart and Spirit. God almighty says trust me, you will because you are honoring God. Trust God may God bless you and your husband for rededicating your lives to Him.
Hello Connie, Being born again has nothing to do with being water baptized - except to be a sign of your new birth that has already taken place. You are born again when you repent and believe from your heart that Jesus is your savior - died on the cross for your sins.
My favorite Biblical conversation with God is Habakuk wrestling with God Not just because of the content he is wrestling with, because it is showing us a REAL LIVE RELATIONSHIP... That's how friends talk with one another Sometimes wrestling the conversation for mutual understanding Holy Spirit really is all we need to be all we can be Holy Spirit is how "we remain, In Him... And In Him, there is no sin" ❤
"Religion's just what we thought before we understood what mental illness was." The human brain is an amazing organ. It keeps working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, from before you leave the womb right up to the day you find religion.
Its said in the book of John, Nicodemus was present with Joseph when they took the body of Jesus for burial. I wonder what was going thru their minds when burying our Savior. Watching that stone being rolled in. I also wonder what Nicodemus thought when "rumors" were spreading that Jesus was alive and out of the tomb. Did he witness the Ascension? Did he hear about the news? My hope is if he heard all of the news, he thought "Well I'll be...he was telling the truth after all."
The greatest conversation in the Bible is between the Son and the Father. It is in John ch. 17. It is only as we understand the desires of the heart of the Lord Jesus for 'his own' that we can understand God's mind for us.
While all our labors and efforts are just crap, it is hard to serve Jesus if all I do is refuse. Yes I am saved by grace and not by works, but I have no initiative to work for Him. After all I am just a servant and after I labor in the field under the hot sun all day and then cook my boss his dinner and am too tired to eat, I go to bed and pray to God that I am a worthless slave for I only did what is required of me. I lack motive to even get up in the morning. That was Solomon's attitude too as expressed in Ecclesiastes. Life is vanity, worthless meaningless toil. Yes, I can eat and I like to eat but I have no motivation to labor for the Lord when no one cares not even God. Yes His works are gold and my work is dung. So what? Nothing matters.
Interesting point. In the original Greek John 3:8 has for personal pronouns.. "The Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit."
Was Jesus born again? What happened exactly at the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist? What exactly happen's at our baptism? At exactly what point in time are we born again? The exact day, hour, minute, second or is it a process of pain and struggle like child birth? Was Adam (the first one) born again? Was Eve born again? Were there any examples of water baptism by immursion in the old testament. Was one of the two thieves on the cross crucified with Christ 'born again'? Jesus said that the thief who asked to be remembered would be with Him in Paradise. The rich young ruler was given a different answer to basically the same question asked by Nick at 🌃 night. Why?
I beg to differ,,,, You are referring to Lord Jesus's earthly ministry.. Nicodemus is a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, A Jew who convicted Lord Jesus, Our Messiah.. This Conversation was between The KIng of Kings and His chosen people. The Jewish nation of Israel.. At this time gentiles,, meaning those who are not jewish,,, had no pathway to salvation. Let me repeat that for you,, The Gentile world had NO PATHWAY to heaven at this point.. It wasnt until Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and on the 3rd day rose from the dead, then blinded Saul on the road to Damascus,, thats when the rest of the world had a pathway to salvation.. Let me repeat that,,, It WASN"T until Saul's conversion to Paul,,, that the REST OF THE WORLD HAD A PATHWAY TO HEAVEN.... I wonder,, Are you Jewish Max.? I wonder if there is any other people besides me that is seeing through your heresy..
With all this devotion if only you knew how to pray, you would do great works, so learn how to pray, when saying Lord, mention the name of the Lord. just like when you pray and say Jesus, by leaving out Christ, the prayer is useless.So please learn to ray.
It’s a nice try Mr. Lucado, but you still are lacking the courage to tell people that being born again has NOTHING to do with being baptized. At least half of all of the Christian denominations think a person is born again once they are water baptized. Why won’t you come out and tell the people the truth they need to hear? Baptism does not create the new birth. Repenting and BELIEVING from your heart is the only way to be born again. People need the truth Mr. Lucado. Who cares if you offend some people? The truth is what matters. The truth of HOW to be born again is what will help people. Many of these people are lost . They’ve been deceived by the teachings of their denomination. They think they are going to heaven because they touched some water. They are not indwelled with the Holy Spirit by water baptism. Please tell them, Mr. Lucado. They deserve to know the truth. Otherwise they will meet Jesus and he will say, “Depart from me. I never knew you.”
Glory!!!! I love this word !!!! Im sleeping tonight just like a new born babe.
Pastor Max, I wish you were my dad, with how kind and gentle a man you are. God bless you and your family! 💙
I am so uplifted with your teaching in these unbelievable days. I know you must be exhausted but you have no idea how much your words helps me & others. God Bless you ✝️
We are truly blessed to have Max in this valley leading us back in to the light Becca! Hallelujah!
Amen
I love your messages everyday. I look forward to them. God bless you!
So agreed! Max is making a difference. Thank you!
You are truly helping me to have victory over depression & anxiety. May God richly bless you!
Be anxious for nothing Noel, rejoice in the Lord and he will free you from the prison of anxiety! Max taught us this in the Anxious for Nothing study and oh boy, it works! Praise the Lord!

To move forward in Leadership and in the likeness of Christ Almighty
God bless us all.
I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed and cherished these little nuggets of motivation, love, peace and truth that you bring to me and others. I call them my daily “uplifters”. Thank you. So much knowledge and love felt in such a small little package. That just shows how powerful our Lord’s word is especially when it’s interpreted through such a wonderful pastor.
Thank you for these lovely, inspiring devotionals! I have been so blessed by each one that I’ve watched!
What a gift you are ! Thank you for your service which is so evident you love.

Thank you Max for camping out with us!

Each day a blessing to hear from Pastor. My thanks for myself and to those to whom I will share your message with. Gods blessigs
Praise you Papa that no one can take your salvation from us, Hallelujah!!

Truth.Please pray for my husband and his family who are really good Catholics to receive this vitally important Truth.
Please help me out! I love God and I trust him so much. I finally got to form a relationship with him during this quarantine. I haven’t gone to church in a few years so I’m looking at online churches. But I haven’t been baptized and I’m afraid that because of that I won’t be able to go to heaven. The main reason for me going to church was because of my aunt but we moved so I stopped going. Please help me!😩I’m only 13 so I can’t rlly sign myself up but I rlly want to make it to heaven😭 I’ve prayed for forgiveness and that when I get the chance when I’m older, I would do it. But I don’t want to be too late if the end of times come before them. Please please help me
I've been struggling my entire christian life (about 20+ odd years). To this day, I still cannot wrap my head around what any of this means. That you be "born again". Or that Jesus died so that we could live. I simply, no matter how hard I try, can't comprehend it. Maybe I'm just too dumb to go to know God.
Just believe in Him.
Open your heart to Jesus Christ.
Abide in His love. 🌱
He knows you intimately and cares about you.
Thank you Pastor for the beautiful message today. My husband and I are wanting to rededicate our lives to Christ. We also want to be baptized. We had the opportunity but my fear of water kept us from it. Could you talk a little about the baptism part? I’m praying we will get the opportunity to be baptized this summer. I’m ashamed of my fear, but I have a desire in my soul to be baptized. I can’t explain any better than that. Maybe a longing? I want to get my life, my husband his life, right with the Father. Than you again Pastor. God Bless you!
You should continue to pray about it. God will be with you ,His Holy Spirit will be with you. When the time is right you'll feel it in your heart and Spirit. God almighty says trust me, you will because you are honoring God. Trust God may God bless you and your husband for rededicating your lives to Him.
Hello Connie, Being born again has nothing to do with being water baptized - except to be a sign of your new birth that has already taken place. You are born again when you repent and believe from your heart that Jesus is your savior - died on the cross for your sins.
Cháu cảm ơn Bác!
My favorite Biblical conversation with God is Habakuk wrestling with God
Not just because of the content he is wrestling with, because it is showing us a REAL LIVE RELATIONSHIP...
That's how friends talk with one another
Sometimes wrestling the conversation for mutual understanding
Holy Spirit really is all we need to be all we can be
Holy Spirit is how "we remain, In Him... And In Him, there is no sin"
❤
Amen
"Religion's just what we thought before we understood what mental illness was."
The human brain is an amazing organ. It keeps working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, from before you leave the womb right up to the day you find religion.
Its said in the book of John, Nicodemus was present with Joseph when they took the body of Jesus for burial. I wonder what was going thru their minds when burying our Savior. Watching that stone being rolled in. I also wonder what Nicodemus thought when "rumors" were spreading that Jesus was alive and out of the tomb. Did he witness the Ascension? Did he hear about the news? My hope is if he heard all of the news, he thought "Well I'll be...he was telling the truth after all."
My birth certificate is from the heavenly kingdom of God as I am born of GOD
The greatest conversation in the Bible is between the Son and the Father. It is in John ch. 17. It is only as we understand the desires of the heart of the Lord Jesus for 'his own' that we can understand God's mind for us.
LOL @ "Nick at Nite" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
While all our labors and efforts are just crap, it is hard to serve Jesus if all I do is refuse. Yes I am saved by grace and not by works, but I have no initiative to work for Him. After all I am just a servant and after I labor in the field under the hot sun all day and then cook my boss his dinner and am too tired to eat, I go to bed and pray to God that I am a worthless slave for I only did what is required of me. I lack motive to even get up in the morning. That was Solomon's attitude too as expressed in Ecclesiastes. Life is vanity, worthless meaningless toil. Yes, I can eat and I like to eat but I have no motivation to labor for the Lord when no one cares not even God. Yes His works are gold and my work is dung. So what? Nothing matters.
Interesting point. In the original Greek John 3:8 has for personal pronouns..
"The Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit."
You have added thing not said in the book. Does Revelations 22:18-19 apply here?
Was Jesus born again? What happened exactly at the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist? What exactly happen's at our baptism? At exactly what point in time are we born again? The exact day, hour, minute, second or is it a process of pain and struggle like child birth? Was Adam (the first one) born again? Was Eve born again? Were there any examples of water baptism by immursion in the old testament. Was one of the two thieves on the cross crucified with Christ 'born again'? Jesus said that the thief who asked to be remembered would be with Him in Paradise. The rich young ruler was given a different answer to basically the same question asked by Nick at 🌃 night. Why?
I beg to differ,,,,
You are referring to Lord Jesus's earthly ministry.. Nicodemus is a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, A Jew who convicted Lord Jesus, Our Messiah.. This Conversation was between The KIng of Kings and His chosen people. The Jewish nation of Israel.. At this time gentiles,, meaning those who are not jewish,,, had no pathway to salvation. Let me repeat that for you,, The Gentile world had NO PATHWAY to heaven at this point.. It wasnt until Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and on the 3rd day rose from the dead, then blinded Saul on the road to Damascus,, thats when the rest of the world had a pathway to salvation.. Let me repeat that,,, It WASN"T until Saul's conversion to Paul,,, that the REST OF THE WORLD HAD A PATHWAY TO HEAVEN....
I wonder,, Are you Jewish Max.? I wonder if there is any other people besides me that is seeing through your heresy..
Nick at nite haha
With all this devotion if only you knew how to pray, you would do great works, so learn how to pray, when saying Lord, mention the name of the Lord. just like when you pray and say Jesus, by leaving out Christ, the prayer is useless.So please learn to ray.
It’s a nice try Mr. Lucado, but you still are lacking the courage to tell people that being born again has NOTHING to do with being baptized. At least half of all of the Christian denominations think a person is born again once they are water baptized. Why won’t you come out and tell the people the truth they need to hear? Baptism does not create the new birth. Repenting and BELIEVING from your heart is the only way to be born again. People need the truth Mr. Lucado. Who cares if you offend some people? The truth is what matters. The truth of HOW to be born again is what will help people. Many of these people are lost . They’ve been deceived by the teachings of their denomination. They think they are going to heaven because they touched some water. They are not indwelled with the Holy Spirit by water baptism. Please tell them, Mr. Lucado. They deserve to know the truth. Otherwise they will meet Jesus and he will say, “Depart from me. I never knew you.”
There is no god or satan grow up
Amen
