This is profound. Specially on the shadow and spirits. 1 month clean from meth and this hits hard. Pray for me and May Our Heavenly Father Bless each and one of you by name. Amen 🙏
At 19:45 in, you’ve touched on a question that has been needling me regarding the “doing things” to experience Jesus. I am hungry for more WORD about how I can conduct myself on this side of knowing what He has done for me by paying it all and Christ is in me. I still mess up, experience shame and guilt at times, I am still this human that makes thoughtless blunders. “Now you may change your lifestyle to position yourself to enjoy that intimacy differently, but that’s profoundly different than doing things to earn His smile.” I would LOVE to hear more on just this because sincerely, knowing me, I would still try to position myself to get that delight and smile from Him...even through that positioned intimacy. Conversely, just asking for a HOW TO here makes me think I’m still not getting it: do we ever stop sinning from that point of receiving Christ and going forward from there? Christ is this beautiful prize and my humanness is terribly flawed, but He says I’m okay yesterday, today, AND tomorrow? Wow, it’s a lot to contemplate when one has lived a lifetime “doing” and “earning” and thinking that if we don’t play that way, then favor eludes us. Thanks for giving me things to talk about with God, Ben. 😊
Just wanted all to know that the answers to my questions above are revealed in the next series: Live Again. I’m so grateful because the “after” of receiving Christ & being with Christ is illuminated in Colossians 3. So cool.
Ben this message was profound for me! Thank you for sharing from your heart and getting into the nitty gritty parts of being a Christian! I grew up in that type of environment of being a certain way or you aren't a good Christian. I myself can be very judgmental and critical and am working very hard on changing that...praise God for his patience and grace!! I loved what you said about seeking God rather than experiences will allow us to feel closer to him. It's so true! You also used an analogy of seeking your wife vs an experience with her allows you to have a richer relationship and that the experience can be at times manipulative. I have been chewing on that analogy! I'm trying to wrap my brain around the literal actions of seeking your partner vs creating an experience with them. With God...sometimes it seems easier if that makes sense. praying, reading his word, worshiping him....but with a human in my face...lol, how do you seek the human? I think I get it, but would you share more? Thanks again for what you do!! God bless you and your family!
*nudge* can y'all include the passage in the description for these vids Or direct me to it please... Lol or direct me.. I could be just blind and not see it there..
What were these brethren still doing there? The pastor was trying to kick them out for 30 minutes. It's done. Christ accomplished. Go home and watch football. Save your time and money. You acknowledged Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is finished according to the pastor, there's nothing else you need to do. Why bother with all this religion? Of church, of worship, of donations, of soup kitchen, or whatever else. You guys are all going straight to heaven. Go home and relax. Listen to the pastor. Don't let me start on those bad religions out there that tell their people to go to church every weekend and worship God and such useless religiosities. It is finished people. Go home and don't come back.

I hope and pray that you have been able to stay on your path of recovery. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability... Bless you!
Praying for you
