THE ENEMY GIVES ME A FALSE IMPRESSION TO QUESTION MY ASSURANCE... BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THAT GOD GRANTED ME REPENTANCE AND SALVATION, FOR I WAS LIVING A SEXUALLY IMMORAL LIFE, I STEAL, I LIE, I GOSSIP, BUT NOW, WHEN I AM TEMPTED TO REENACT MY FORMER WAYS, I STOP AND THINK, AND THE FEAR OF OFFENDING MY CREATOR, MY GOD, MY SAVIOR COMES TO MIND. I STOP MY SINFUL SCHEMES, I RUN TO MY GOD AND HOLD ON TO HIM. THANK YOU ABBA FATHER FOR CHANGING ME. I AM YOUR MASTERPIECE. HOW GREAT THOU ART.
Treasure found.. it's not so much running from sin but running to Jesus.. none of us does it perfectly.. yet!! But that's why grace alone by faith alone for Gods glory alone is so compelling ruclips.net/video/3OOphIgGkjM/видео.html
Terry Henderson Why would you hate your god given biology? Ours is to be grateful for all things. If you haven’t discovered your true identity then sexual thoughts may have too much of a priority in your life. The desire is perfectly acceptable, the power that your giving it is not. It does not define you! Do you know what a true identity is...or how to find it?
Spirituality, I was dead. I could read the words of the Bible, but not comprehend. Now, I yearn to read and hear the Word of God. My joy comes from completely different sources. I know, without doubt, God has answered my pleas and provided me with peace and contentment. I cannot imagine anything more vital than growing closer to God. He is my breath and my salvation. Praise Him!
Amen! One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing. I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me! Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.
When I was struggling with depression, I knew about Jesus but still was under the bondage of the depression. A dear friend (thank God for them) told me to read about the Holy Spirit. Once I did, the Lord started to reveal His character to me and I was immediately delivered from the depression! I pray this helps someone as it helped me!!! In Jesus Almighty name!!! Holy Spirit 1. *He helps us* (Romans 8:26) 2. *He guides us* (John 16:13) 3. *He teaches us* (John 14:26) 4. *He speaks* (Rev. 2:7) 5. *He reveals* (1Cor. 2:10) 6. *He instructs* (Acts 8:29) 7. *He testifies of Jesus* (John 15:26) 8. *He comforts us* (Acts 9:31) 9. *He calls us* (Acts 13:2) 10. *He fills us* (Acts 4:31) 11. *He strengthens us* (Eph 3:16) 12. *He prays for us* (Romans8:26) 13. *He prophesies through us* (2Peter1:21) 14. *He bears witnesses to the truth* (Romans 7:11) 15. *He brings Joy* (1Thes 1:6) 16. *He brings freedom* (2Cor 3:17) 17. *He helps to obey* (1 Peter 1:22) 18. *He calls for Jesus return* (Rev 22:17) 19. *He transforms us* (2Cor 3:18) 20. *He lives in us* (1Cor 3:16) 21. *He frees us* (Romans 8:2) 22. *He renews us* (Titus 3:5) 23. *He produces fruit in us* (1Gal 5:22-23) 24. *He gives gifts* (1Cor 12:8-10) 25. *He leads us* (Romans 8:14) 26. *He convicts us* (John 16:8) 27. *He sanctifies us* (2 Thess 2:13) 28. *He empowers us* (Acts 1:8) 29. *He unites us* (Eph 4:3-4) 30. *He seals us* (Eph 1:13) 31. *He gives us access to the Father* (Eph 2:18) 32. *He enables us to wait* (Gal 5:5) 33. *He cast out demons* (Matt12:28)
Agreed, but how do we distinguish that from just having a good memory? I guess you can ask this question about most things - how to discern whether the Holy Spirit actually inspired something, or whether we did in our own strength or wisdom or knowledge... :(
@@regvar8468 if you draw near to God He will draw near to you...if you stay in His word like He commanded you would know because He can't go against His Word. So the more you saturate yourself the more it drowns out the noise from your own conscience or what you're thinking (this is the best way I can describe it) God will never go against what is written. It is also written to let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. I pray you are blessed.
@@regvar8468 the Spirit bears witness with our Spirit that we belong to Him. When we sin we know for a fact that it's wrong as well like a heightened sense (conviction) He gives us a mind and heart and desire to please Him. Maybe I've said too much but this is from my personal walk. But always stick to The written word is what I would advise anyone
Wait-- you are NEVER tempted by sin? I dunno.... I don't think that's possible. Though our Sovereign LORD Jesus has No sin Nature, and NEVER once sinned, (Unlike ALL of us), He was most definitely tempted.
@@phlegmbuoyant My personal sin over the last 18 years was pornography and having negative thoughts of people and women, in general. Since rediscovering my belief in God and Jesus, I have since met a good woman who I intend on marrying and I am not at all interested in my previous sins. They actually fill me with great shame and regret thinking about them.

Marie... Pastor John says all Christians have the Holy Spirit, but the Lord Jesus Christ said [Mat 13] that many "Christians" are unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to eternal torment... and few "Christians" are saved "wheat" (sown by God) and destined to eternal life. Who is correct Pastor John or Jesus? ------------ Notice the "Christians" below call Jesus their "Lord" ------------- Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. -------------------------- Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Luk 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. ---------------------------- www.5thkingdomofheaven.com/chapter-1 ---------------------------
I think he prepares these answers through study he’s not just speaking off the top of his head. he gives his responses and listeners intention and dignity to honor God
@@amartinez589 ... Of course MOST listeners are really unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan and destined to eternal torment), and relatively FEW listeners are saved "wheat/sheep/saints" (sown by God). ----------- Remember, the unsaved "tares" call Jesus "Lord"... just like the saved "wheat" ------------- www.5thkingdomofheaven.com/chapter-1 ---------------
That's an important thing to know. When we think that were sneaking around and being stealthy, there he is, watching. Nothing is unseen and no sin is covered.
@@2ndPigeon That would make Jesus a liar. I prefer to think that the Bible is 100% accurate. If you want to live in fear, that's your prerogative. Why worry, let today worry about itself. The only thing I know for certain is that I need a saviour. That's enough for me.
The day I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, a sister spoke in tongues and the message was: this is how you should look, not drunk of wine but filled with My Holy Spirit
One way to know if you have been “born again” or “regenerate” is your relationship to sin. The unregenerate are slaves to sin. When the Holy Spirit makes us alive we are given a new relationship with sin. We can’t continue in it. Sin disrupts our peace. When regenerate people sin, they will feel like a cat thrown in the mud. They want to get out and get right with their Father. When the unregenerate sin, they are like a pig in the mud. They love it. They don’t even realize they’re in mud.
I used to cry from the heartbreak my husband caused to myself and our kids. It took that trauma for me to find Jesus again. I am thankful to God for everything I have been given in this life. God is gracious, God is good!!!!!!!!

When I became a Christian I use to cry when my Christian friends use to pray for me or others... I just wanted to pray like them and I could not, and I tried but it just would not, and I was shy... They did not teach me but that did not mean I was far from God.. But then studying the word and praying a little at a time it came naturally.. Today when I pray the H/S leads me.. guides me and I often see tears in others eyes as it was with me... We need to seek pray for H/S to lead us. Amen💗💗💗
This expresses that you believe the true way to heaven !! : Lord Jesus, I have admitted I'm a sinner being sorry. Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And I fully trust that you have forgiven me by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purified my soul. Thank you Lord Jesus for greatly loving me, for forgiving me, saving me from hell and giving me eternal life and sealing me with the Holy Spirit dwelling within me forever! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Rev.1:5, Ephes.1:7,13, 4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39,I John 5:7,13,20
Recently I have been praying about this and really questioning my salvation. Today, this started playing randomly on my phone. I had never heard of this pastor/channel before and idk how it even started playing or where it came from. I had to screenshot and look it up later but wow… such a miracle of God and the Holy Spirit confirming He is with me ❤ thank you Lord 🥰
Everyday, you feel in your heart and soul, a glow.,a peace, a calm, a serenity, an understanding, a strength, a feeling you are not alone, you have no fear of life, you embrace it, you engage it and wait patiently, respectfully, humbly for God to guide you, to give your life a purpose,a task in his name. Amen.
I dream Jesus for a long time in my bedroom..But I am not Christian and I am a Muslim. He saw me and try to disappear quickly, and I called I couldn't see properly, Please show me your face, and he came back and showed and gone.. Is it good way I was so pleased to see Jesus..😢Thank you Lord .
I was in the lowest place in my life and I prayed that Jesus would take my life, I was tired of my life. I started feeling so much love and peace. I asked Jesus to save me then, because of the peace, I fell asleep and slept so good. Everything has changed for me and now I know Jesus and He has never left me . Jesus, I pray this helps someone who needs your peace. Amen
Lately I’ve been struggling with assurance of my salvation, but now I realize that the spirit of God (Holy Spirit) dwells within me because I believe the Jesus Christ died on the cross and endured God’s wrath on sin for ME! Then God resurrected and brought Jesus back from the dead to show how powerful he is and to prove that he is the messiah. Also, the many miracles of the Holy Spirit that the video describes, I’ve experienced and now know that these only take place due to the spirit and not of my own carnal knowledge, but only the wisdom God has given me. It just amazes me how wonderful God is to send his only (PERFECT) son to die for all of us sinners, then to prove his power, he rose Jesus from the dead. God is always good in every situation even if we don’t see how the pieces intersect together. Jesus cleansed me of all sins so that I could be forgiven of all my sins and be a child of his for all eternity. I’m so glad to have the BEST DADDY EVER!!!!!!! GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME BECAUSE I CANT MAKE IT TO HEAVEN ON MY OWN AND ONLY YOU CAN SAVE ME WHICH YOU DID!!!!!! I am proud to declare that I am a born again Christian due to all that Christ has done! God bless all of you!AMEN!
I had trouble with this too! But Satan is a lair! What Jesus did on the Cross for our sins is true and real! And it is the Truth and we have to know it! We go by faith and not by what we feel because our hearts our deceitful but how POWERFUL the Lord is!💖🙌🏽🙌🏽
Yes absolutely!!! Praise Jesus!! Now that your whitewashed by his blood, you are a co-heir with him, CO-Heir, that means you get to partner with the spirit, wrestle and argue with God if you don't understand, and ask and recieve anything you request of him, God now works WITH you not just around and for you, walk with him without shame
A body without a spirit is dead. James 2:26. Remedy: Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. John 3:16. Jesus Christ, a Spirit God was birth in a body and soul thru a human Mary. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you receive His Spirit to be a born again 'spirit' christian. John 3:3,6; the second birth. The born again spirit is holy and Temple of God indwelt by the Powerful Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 3:16-17, Acts 1:8. This basic Christianity is the basis to conform/conclude with other verses of the New Testament Bible. Praise God. Amen.
You become a disciple to be saved. Mathew 28:16-19. You need to be made into one my friend in a church that makes disciples and obeys the Bible. That was Jesus last command before His death
Its a50-50 thing. Predestination yes, but you need to choose to have a relationship with Him and confess out proud with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you want Him in your life and you want Him to be your master and your King. Amen, praise YHWH
Florence Smith True spiritual maturity is realized when you can no longer be condemned or accused. It’s for this that Christ lived and died. No condemnation!
The holy spirit keeps my path straight Thank you Jesus for all that you do.for always being here for me and my family.i feel so peaceful and calm knowing that I have you in my life.i love you so much!!!!!
It's the holy spirit who tells us and reveals to us the truth about God and his will into our lives... When you have the holy spirit it will reveal to you who God is and his love. And whenever you pray.. You will always feel that kind of overwhelming kind of feelings like joy and peace and security. And when that happeneds no matter how stressful or happy the situation is you can't stop your eyes from the tears. 😊

People, that’s all you need is faith. Only believe. The church needs a revelation of faith. Faith is simple, only believe. Consume the word of God and your faith will grow. When you do works whatever it is, use that faith! Don’t doubt, it’s so easy and God can do so much more!
The Greek word for spirit is "pneuma". It literally means "breath". Comes from the word pneo which means to breathe. It is in the neuter gender thus Holy spirit is not a person. Think of a pneumatic tyre or nail gun. But because it has 5 aspects in the Bible it takes on the meaning "an invisible force". EG the WIND as at John 3:8. It can be an ANGEL as at Heb 1:7, It can mean ones dominant FEELING and motivation, eg he has a happy spirit or a sad spirit. It can mean the LIFE FORCE in us as breathers. O2 and food carried by the blood. or it will mean HOLY SPIRIT. the latter has 2 manifestations. One is the spirit one gets when one obtains an accurate knowledge and understanding of Gods word and really gets the sense of it. Acts 5:32 says God gives his spirit to those OBEYING him as best we can in accord with our differing levels of faith. so requires both. The other is when one receives the SPIRIT ANOINTING, OR IS BORN AGAIN. This process is also called being SEALED , and SPIRIT OF ADOPTION. 2 Cor 1:21,22. Eph.1:13, 4:30 , Colos. 4:4--6. Paul also called it "partakers of the heavenly calling" Heb 3;1. When one has this experience he will be filled with the spirit, certainly initially, but the level wil change with the passage of time. I know readers of this wont agree the spit is not a person. I can prove this with 20 biblical reasons should anyone call for such.
Ralph Goreham So when Jesus said when the Spirit of truth is come, he will show you of things to come. There are countless verses that addresses the Holy Ghost as a person, the Spirit of God. It’s like saying the soul or spirit in your body isn’t a person. Yet without the soul you’re dead.
@@aaronwilliams673 Hello Aaron, thank you for your response. Here are 20 reasons as promised. BTW we do not have an immortal spirit or soul in us but one thing at a time. KJV only. (1)has no name or consistant term. EG Mat. 12: 28, 31,32 Jesus "the spirit of God" , " The Spirit, The Holy Spirit. Yet Eph 3:14 tells us EVERY creature in heaven and earth has a name. (2) There are 8 visions of God on his throne in the Bible, 3 have Jesus there, but h/s =none. (3) Covered in my previous post, as you would have noted. The base meaning is "breath" and that is not a person. (4) Every analogy or comparison is impersonal. Wind, "like a dove", "as if fire", "a rushing stiff breeze", "poured out""He blew upon them saying receive holy spirit. (All Koine Greek is in capitals so it is up to the translator to decide what should be capitalized). (5) It is called Gods POWER, Greek "dynamis" at Luke 5:17 "the power of the Lord " Luke 8:46 "power went out of me", Luke 11:20 it is called "Gods finger". Luke 24:49b "but tarry ye in the city of Jerus. until ye be endowed with POWER FROM ON HIGH". (6) Romans 8:16 and 8:26 KJV both say the spirit ITSELF (NOT HIMSELF) And at John 15:26 KJV says Holy spirit WHICH proceedeth from the Father. (7)1 Thess 5:19 says "Do not QUENCH the spirit. Interlinear says "Be you not be extinquishing the spirit. Can anyone do that to any part of God? (8) John 1:1, Mark 13:32, 1 Cor 8:6, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Tim 2:5, Mat. 24:36 are all key scriptures yet none of them include the h/s. (9) At John 17:3 Jesus said his Father was the ONLY TRUE GOD, excluding himself and h/s. (10) Acts 2:33 says Jesus "received the promised h/s from the Father". As is often the case there is no definite article "the" infront of Holy Spirit or Spirit. But with one exception in the NT, God (theos or theon) ALWAYS has the definite article in front of that title. How could one say h/s is equal to the Father as a person when like Jesus was SENT. continued
(11) Revelation always calls it "The spirit, KJV, and we read 7 lamps before Gods throne are 7 spirits. Do you say that means 7 persons of holy spirit? (it actually means the fulness of Gods spirit given to the "Lamb" (12) why is the expresion holy spirit not in the Hebrew either as indeed is the word trinity or anything remotely suggesting such. (13) Why is the Holy Spirit never praised, worshipped, or honored as are God and Jesus, Rev 5:15,16. (14) Why does h/s never say a greeting in all the N.T letters as did "God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ." All it does is guide, teach, anoint, and is used to convey new revelation. Why? because it is not a person. (15) And, it has no loving relationship with God or Jesus as they, since there is no communication by it with either. (16) Similarly 1 Cor 3:23 "You belong to Christ, Christ belongs to God. Who belongs to the h/s and does "he" belong to anybody.? (17) There is still 1 and a half billion members belonging to , according to Google, 33,000 divisions within the Christian realm. Does it make sense that "he" dwells in all of them?. many come and go from their "Christian" course. Does that mean "he" ducks in and out of them when they stray.??? (18) Jesus alternated in John chapters 14 through 16 speaking of "the spirit of the truth" and "helper" Greek paracletos. this is in the masculine gender and necessarily caries with it Masculine pronouns "he", "him and "whom" . This was PERSONALIZATION for reassurance. He said wisdom had "children" and Paul said sin and death "rule as Kings". The prophets often spoke of hills and trees clapping their hands . continued
(19) If one checks any Greek Interlinear the definite article "the" is not there in front of pnema, but commonly translators put it there anyway to help dress it up as a person. Especially in the early chapters of Acts. At other times they insert "He", "Him" when they too are not there. (20) Finally we see at 1 John 4:6 "the spirit of truth contrasted with "the spirit of error". So either both are persons or both are not. Also we see "the breath of God" is synonomous with the "spirit of God. Compare Psm 33;3 with Psm 104:29,30. KJV .There are more reasons it cant be a person, but that should suffice. See if you can choose a couple and refute the reasoning. or , see if you can find any verses that show we have an immortal soul or spirit.
My mind is on the Lord daily thanking him for my life. Thankful for being able to pray and go to church and receive holy communion. I try to repent of my sins daily. Being in control of emotions and not to complain. Getting along with others is a challenge sometimes , but I have to remember getting upset is not healthy it hurts your mind and body. I pray for control because we all have to deal with the evil ways of the world. Pray for each other cause others can’t, they live in darkness. 💫✝️
For one you don’t try to repent you will repent or you will perish repentance isn’t a matter of trying it’s a matter of doing and you shouldn’t be repenting daily Jesus said go and sin no more that’s a commandment so this sinning everyday won’t get you anywhere he didn’t die for us so we can stay in sin he died on the cross so we would turn away from sin put our faith in Jesus Christ and live holy the Bible says he who sins is a slave to sin and the Bible also says he who the son sets free shall be free indeed free of what? Free of sin.
@@chasethechosenone8478 we live around sin we are not made perfect like Jesus. We fall we make mistakes that’s why I ask God for mercy I’m a sinner and we have to repent daily if not when possible cause our Lord know our ways. Don’t you make mistakes? I do but I always tell my Lord I’m sorry I acted a certain way or said something wrong. That is my ways so you do what you do I will follow my what is written in the Bible.
@@dianaleal5183 I’m trying to help you cause I want you to go to heaven to be with me and Jesus and everyone who put their faith in him you need to truly repent and stop your sinning if you’re struggling with sin just come to god very humble and cry out to him and he will help you overcome sin he delivered me from many sins now I have no desire to do them again and the Bible talks about unless you are born again you will not see the kingdom of god really examine yourself don’t believe that we sin everyday cause I don’t sin everyday I’ve been delivered from lust and porn and sex outside of marriage he wants us to live a life of victory and sin isn’t a mistake that’s deliberately being disobedient I’m trying to teach you the right way you prob were taught a false gospel truly repent from all sin that you know of be disciplined and put your faith in Jesus and live holy that’s it
Ask God for wisdom and courage. Being baptized is a great thing, but doesn't cure your heart. Wanting to please God doesn't cure your heart. But falling before The Cross and accepting Jesus blood and sacrifice as our payment of sin gives you a new heart for ever! Your sins will be thrown in the depths of the sea. Rejoice in that! And absorb life! Ask Him for Wisdom to know and courage to do. I pray the Holy Spirit shines through you.
@Parker Saxon fall before the Savior Jesus and give it all to him. Ask him into your life if you haven't already! The Lord will give you a clean heart that is then Eternal! Satan cannot touch that. He will discourage you through your mind and lie to you. Ask the Lord for strength and courage. Wisdom to know the difference. Cast your burdens upon Him bro.
Parker Saxon I’ll pray for you. I’ve been there too. Took a major disaster to make me give up my sin ( though I’m still tempted). My advice: Pray that Jesus would show you the way out when you are tempted. Get your mind on Him and (this is important)...find a trusted Christian who is older in the faith than you, and ask them to be a spiritual mentor to you, as well as help you by prayer, and holding you accountable by being blunt honest with each and confessing sins to each other.
I've been in your position before. I kept on coming back to my old sin of immorality even though I have become a " Christian". I only began to overcome it and have victory over it when I submitted to God and gave my all to him, not 50% or 99% of myself but 100%, and just be obedient and do his will for me.
When my world fell apart, JESUS was there for me! not just saying it, I REALLY REALLY mean it, He showed up and comforted me. I might hve written myself off, but Jesus treated me like a gentleman, He was Gracious and Patient! I love Him so much.
There’s no question..He’s unmistakeable. Sealed for the day of His coming. He”ll bring back whatever scriptures you’ve read. Was an alcoholic for years..went to sleep asking to be free. Woke up in complete freedom after 40 yrs, completely free now for 30 yrs.
AMEN! One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing. I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me! Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.

I always feel so grateful. Last night I began to worry about something. I was at work.. I prayed for help.. and in a few minutes I was aware of my thoughts. The worry was gone.. I cried grateful tears... because I knew God took my worry about the situation away. Leaving me with peace...

Amen. I was dead and was in no way seeking God. But now my whole worldview and affections (wavering as those affections may be from time to time) have taken a u turn. As flawed as I still am, I cannot find peace any longer in my former ways. Each time that I stray from the path, like a dumb sheep, His rod and His staff bring me back and give me comfort. Oh, wretched man that I am, who will free me from this body of death? God has done it and will complete it in the day of my Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen when I truly repented, I now dont ever have peace when getting my mind off things by watching youtube videos or hanging out with friends, only Jesus gives me peace now because before other things would "peace" more like temporary happiness is what other things would give
This has been true for me as well. My whole worldview utterly changed. I felt so comfortable with the worldly view and sin….it seemed so natural and acceptable. When I accepted Jesus….everything flipped! Now things that seemed perfectly acceptable to me are now repugnant. My spirit reacts when I sin or am confronted by worldly things that I would have avidly embraced. I still get shocked by how much my views have changed in the matter of a year! I still experience a refining of my views….like my sense of what is right and proper are getting sharper by the day 🤷♀️
You would know it for sure. It is a loving feeling. Ever since I got baptized at 27 I got the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gets you through rough times. What I went through in my life I should have died. God protected me.

Matthew 7:11; Luke 11:13; John 20:20; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 1:13. He has already made all provisions!Believe and you already got it. Be led by Him and be obedient to His leading.
Mostly I think we know that the Holy Spirit is within us and we are filled by Him : when we bear HIS FRUIT - joy , love , peace , patience , kindness, meekness, gentleness, temperance, humility and self - control .
And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
Well, my friend, the first thing I would ask of the holy spirit is ''Please can you help me with my grammar as it is atrocious, and while you are at it, could you get the heating turned up as I am so cold I am chilled.'' As for the truth, it is defined as ''That which is in accordance with fact or reality.'' Reading your comments I see no evidence of either.
@@joyfrantzis7342 By ugly I assume you mean disrespectful, I am not disrespectful, I am skeptical, I just hate it when people make claims that they cannot demonstrate to be true. For the last 2,000 years, people like these have been claiming that there is an invisible man who lives in the sky who created the world, watches us 24/7, reads our thoughts, controls all that we do, and is responsible for every ill that befalls mankind. But during the last 2,000 years, no one has ever produced the slightest shred of evidence to confirm the veracity of these claims. That is why I am an atheist, and the more I read, the more I am convinced that I am right. These people, with their ridiculous claims and statements only reinforce and confirm my atheistic views.
@@billleyland128 and yet your in a video comment section regarding something you find ridiculous. Jesus understood very well the real problem with man regarding disbelief. It is not a question of the head that keeps man from faith , it is a question of the heart.
@@rasheedfraser5680 My main reason for posting is to attempt, by using rational argument, and scientific fact. to wean humankind away from a stifling, restricting, supernatural-based fantasy world into one that replaces faith with fact, belief with truth, and claims with evidence. Faith is nothing more than believing in something without good evidence, if you could provide evidence in support of your particular belief, you would not require faith. As an example. I have faith that there lives in my bedroom closet a mischievous little pixie who sets off my alarm clock an hour early, hides my socks, and when I drop my toast, causes it to fall butter-side down, is my faith justified, and if not, why not?
What is the fruit of the Spirit? Patience, love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The Holy Spirit lives in you. Do you have it.
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC No is not the same. Man and wife relationship is Love, Trust, Honesty, Faithfulness, Commitment Compassion Compromise Communication Forgiveness Converted (both must be a Christian) Patience & understanding. LOVE isn't always perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a storybook. And it doesn't always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on & never letting go, It is a short word, easy to spell difficult to define, and impossible to live without. Love is work but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute and every second was worth it because you did it together.
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC Continue...... Ephesians 5:25 For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, ....Ephesians 5:22-33 And both party have to put God first in their marriage, regardless what! .... wife submit to husband. And husband loves your wife. Jesus said love one another as I have love you. Forgive one another as I have forgive you. Have mercy on others because I have mercy on you. Love your enemy and pray for your enemy. Yes Lord. Thank you for reminding us with your words. Amen..........the end.
Terry Henderson Relax.....if you even have the presence of mind to inquire, then you are already there. Piper is long winded about such things. He needs to learn how to say things in six statements or less. Brevity is a sign of spirit wisdom. What does that tell you about Mr. piper?
Stay strong, my dude. I may not have the answer you are looking for, but from reading Luke 12:22-34, I know that the journey to find God's kingdom (and therefore the Holy Spirit) is worth it.

You explained it perfectly!! Everyone should be reborn and filled with the Holy Spirit. It’s the most wonderful feeling you will receive here on earth. You will be blessed!
This is what I experience since the start of the year. I have been born and raised in a Christian family. Attended school in a Christian School my whole life. What I can say is if you are truly been born again their is radical change in your life, i realized how sinful I am and in need of a Savior in the person of Jesus Christ. And my desires is now anchored towards knowing God. Glory be to God for pursuing me. Thank you Lord Jesus! ✝️❤️

Both are right because when Pastor John said all he meant as in all Christians, and by that real Christians. There are many fake Christians, who will not receive the Spirit and will not stay the course.
@@HearGodsWord ... Child, my point (as stated above) is only that NOT all "christians" are real "Christians". That MANY who call Jesus "Lord" are really unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to eternal torment. -------------

John makes a very important point. I've heard pastors ask congregations to raise their hands when they got saved. Well, 99.9% of them will associate their "salvation" with the day they were baptized. However, if you were to press many of those people, most would be honest enough to say that they don't remember when they were TRULY saved. I'm a living testimony to this occurrence. For years. I struggled with a particular sin--I'm talking about MANY years . . . .decades in fact. I didn't have true victory over that sin until this last year. When I truly got serious about my sin, I got serious with God. With brokenness and repentance, I KNOW that the Holy Spirit has filled me because when I'm even tempted to commit this sin, I have an overwhelming conviction NOT to commit it. That is something I didn't experience before. Today, I KNOW that I'm saved--no doubt about it. I'm definitely filled with the Holy Spirt and my life has been eternally changed.
I personally feel a kind of fire in my body physically when I become impassioned by the Spirit. When i am bold in my prayers, I feel a tickling heat course through my body and sometimes an embrace or a wind come upon me. I feel this especially when I've had to rebuke tormenting demons in my presence. If I let myself become empowered with scripture and tell Satan to get behind me, I feel totally consumed in spirit. He has helped banish even the memory of those terrible demons away from my mind. They are dead and will not rise again. Incredible.
Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him. Romans 8:9 CSB Just thought I'd share the correct verse cause I looked it up and he said Romans 5:9
Crystal L. Carranza I noticed it when I opened my KJV and when I heard him say it I was so confused to why mine said different lol I need to be more careful to when this happens. I’m barley started my walk with the Lord so I don’t know a whole lot of my bible yet. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
@@leonardogarcia9651 no problem it's always good to go back and look it up yourself, studying and holding on to the word of God will always be the most important thing to our faith 😌 we walk by faith not by sight.
Wow, literally last night I couldn't sleep, started praying (not aloud) and at the end asked Holy Spirit if I may ask to please show me He is in me. And later still not being able to sleep, here pops up this video. (Not AI. And I didn't search for this topic at anytime. ) Even if it was AI, this was exactly what I so desperately wanted to know and be sure of.
I asked the holy spirit in at 11 or 12 while singing a praise song. Could feel peace and love, and the spirit fights against angry or critical feelings toward others, reminding me that I was forgiven of much. Fights ALL evil thoughts for me, and is a warner against deceit.
- THE LOVE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST with us forever. - THE POWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST with us forever. - THE WISDOM OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST with us forever.
I believe I was lost thinking I had to do something in my power,my control and not realizing the sovereign gift of salvation. The finished work of Jesus Christ is a free gift to me. I have heard the truth and believe Jesus the Son of God has died fir my sins. I was dead in my sins and now I am alive in Christ . Forgiven and born again in the Holy Spirit of God. Praise God the Father, Jesus his only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit!!!
I repeat: Spoke the word of God with boldness! The absolute sure way to know is when u Speak God’s language also known as tongues this is absolutely true I have witnessed it for myself and it’s an amazing transition to actually see someone getting consumed by this power it’s like the Holy Spirit sets u ablaze! I myself am living everyday waiting for God to grant me his gift…and everyday I get closer…please have your way Lord🙌🏽
@@chantalduffy2978 You must truly repent of your sins! You must be extremely remorseful ( crying ) of the sins you committed and ask god for forgiveness ( literally ). Doing so, you will receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit!
This morning the Lord took me to 2 Timothy 2 once again. Here’s verse 19-26: 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, [b]sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. When I read “The Lord knows who are His”. The words, “I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice iniquity” came to mind. So it is possible that you think He knows you, but He doesn’t. How do you know whether or not He knows you? “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity”. It’s as clear as daylight to me! And the blood of the Lamb enables us to do just that. Look at verse 25, “IF GOD PERHAPS WILL GRANT THEM REPENTANCE”, to those who say we don’t need to repent. As per verse 26, if we don’t repent and turn from sin, we have been taken captive by the devil and is doing his will. And this is when Jesus does not know us. We have to read everything in context with the rest of the Bible. So I am pleading with you, if you have been telling people that they just have to say that they believe, say a prayer and that they then have eternal security, rectify it! Jesus does not know them if they have not departed from iniquity as clearly stated above! THAT IS THE SEAL, DEPARTING FROM INIQUITY! No, we cannot do it in our own strength, but this is part of faith; believing in the enabling power of the blood of the Lamb. Not to say we’ll ever be perfect whilst on this earth. This will only happen when we see Him, but He will continue the good work that He has started until that day. God bless you all!
@@abbafatherswarriorprincess3627 thank you so much, I understand it now. But do you have an explanation for "how to receive the holy spirit"? And how can I be sure if I am saved and going to heaven? Because I am afraid that Jesus will tell me that he doesn't know me.
@@tabearoersch9783 All glory to God! Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” I would just like to mention here that I am also still learning... but I love sharing what I’ve learnt from God with my brothers and sisters :D . But we have to test everything we hear from others (even pastors etc) against Scripture with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I think this is a rather controversial subject, probably because of the different ways that the Spirit is received by those recorded in the Bible. If you have the Holy Spirit, you will bear fruit. Many people believe that if you just say the sinner’s prayer and believe in Jesus, you can continue to live the way you did before, but you’re sealed for eternity. There are so many Scriptures that contradict this. Salvation is definitely a gift because Scripture teaches that by grace we are saved through faith and not that of ourselves, lest we should boast. Once we’ve repented and truly put our trust in the Lord Jesus as our Saviour, He will put His Holy Spirit inside of us and start working in us. Philippians 1:6 tells us that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
And so… we won’t be perfect until that day that we see Him, but there will be a continuous work done by Him through His Holy Spirit. So we need to have a relationship with Jesus as opposed to religion. Allowing His Holy Spirit to search our hearts and search our minds and working in us, that is how He knows us. So ultimately, we have to believe with all of our heart that Jesus has died for our sins by His death, burial and resurrection. That the same power who has raised Jesus from the dead, lives inside of us and has the power to change us and empower us to do the will of God. Jesus said that those who believe on Him, He will in no wise cast out and His promises are true! The very best advice that I can give you, is to sincerely seek the Lord with all of your heart and He will reveal all things to you. If you’d like to chat some more, please feel free to pop me an e-mail: celeste.worship@uct.ac.za . I am saying a prayer for you!
I am amazed by His grace bestowed upon me. How the Holy Spirit gave me full conviction that Jesus is the only way, banishing all doubts, annointed in the timing of the Lord . Amen to Him be the glory 🙏
Pastor John says all Christians have the Holy Spirit, but the Lord Jesus Christ said [Mat 13] that many "Christians" are unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to eternal torment... and few "Christians" are saved "wheat" (sown by God) and destined to eternal life. Who is correct Pastor John or Jesus? ------------ Notice the "Christians" below call Jesus their "Lord" ------------- Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Wise Virgin You have made an observation that is valid. However, both Jesus & Piper can be right at the same time. Our human egos tend to draw us into either or thinking, or black & white thinking when sometimes the answer is grey. In this instance Piper seems to be speaking more generally about truly regenerated, blood washed, born again, Holy Spirit indwealing children of God. His explanation is about having the Holy Spirit vs being filled up with the Holy Spirit. The Bible also teaches about quenching the Spirit with our sin. Piper does not go into the topic you are describing about the wheat & tares, sheep & goats, elect & non-elect, false converts, etc... You are correcting that there are many over churched & under reached human souls in the church today. I was one for 35 years. As a Calvinist i interpret that as God’s plan for my life. He predestined my salvation initiation to begin at the chronological age of 35. Thank the Lord He doesn’t give up on His elect! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 It is one of our responsibilities now as converts to evangelize the world and fulfill our part in the Great Commission. Perseverance of the Saints is an excellent doctrine to study. With Truth & Grace ❤️
@@gregthomas82 ... Child, you can ASSUME that John Piper was just being careless with his words when he said "to be a Christian is to HAVE the Holy Spirit", but the preacher is responsible to (a) preach the whole counsel of God and (b) to NOT be careless with his words - because that only promotes heresy. --------- Secondly, the Bible teaches that REAL Christians "wheat/sheep/saints) produce "fruit" (which includes understanding) some 30 fold, some 60 fold, some 100 fold... and we know the PROCESS of sanctification takes time. ------------- I am simply saying that it is the responsibility of the preacher to (a) preach the whole counsel of God and (b) to NOT be careless with his words because that only promotes heresy. ---------------
@@gregthomas82 ... I will make a deal with you child. If you FIRST provide the BIBLICAL definition of the word "love" then I would be more than willing to discuss your theory of "Consorious Spirit" vs Spirit of Love.

Amen. One of my favourite passages that explains how and when the miracle of the Holy Spirit occurs: Ephesians 1:13-14 = "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your Salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-To The Praise of His Glory." And another one, that also shows how we are able to stand Firm in Christ,❣️ = 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 = "Now it is God who makes both us and you Stand Firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come."
@rejipaul2185 Quite thoroughly did you study these Truths, through the SOURCE Himself= His Spirit of Truth; Using His greatest physical RESOURCE= His WORD of TRUTH. Thank you, dear brother in Christ ❣️ A couple of very minor references that didn't line up with your words= You said : " May the World..." When you meant to say, "May the WORD of our LORD, GOD And Saviour, Yeshua HaMeshiach, dwell in you Richly... " Which I pray for you as well dear brother -- that's a passage that His Spirit of Truth often Reminds me of, and one that He planted within my heart, mind and spirit early on, as He transformed me into a New Creation in Christ - But, it's from Colossians 3:16 and Not 3:15, as you had recorded it to be-- here's the Greek Scriptures address that you meant to quote= 3:16 (NOT 3:15)- And it's just as encouraging in NIV English version from 1984= "Let the WORD of Christ dwell in you Richly, as you teach and Admonish one another with ALL Wisdom, and as you Sing Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs with Gratitude in your hearts to God." I appreciate your commitment to His Truth, and walking in His Spirit, to His GLORY ALONE, and no longer according to the sinful nature - And I pray we both will grow by leaps and bounds through the Remains of our days, in His sanctification- As He transforms us into His Likeness with ever increasing GLORY, which comes from the LORD Himself, Who is the Spirit ❣️ -Respectfully, Carefully and Prayerfully submitted, in Love, Because He First Loved us, {1 John 4:19} 🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾💝😅🤠☝🏾🙌🏽
The Holy Spirit will not make us sleep until we search for God first. The Holy Spirit is in us when we love Jesus & confess in our mouth that Jesus is our Lord & Savior. Also, we become very excited talking about God & Jesus. Jesus is your No1 love
One morning I got up reborn and with a new life force and a view of myself and the world around me. The Holy Spirit descended on me after 1 week of sincere search for Jesus Christ, after years of madness with new age deception. 🙌🙏
Most detailed answer I ever heard... This confirms I have the Holy Spirit it’s basically like me believing I passed a test and then getting the paper back and seeing I aced it with flying colors
AMEN! One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing. I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me! Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.
The truth sets you free. Hearing this at a low point in my Christian life, when I feel so messed up and unsure of my salvation because my many shortcomings, is reassuring. Thank you.
Find yourself back to the feet of the cross. Dont pull away from the Lord, he will never leave or forsake us. Sanctification is a process, keep confessing and repenting. God bless!
Maybe you don't know or already know.. but GOD HIMSELF/in His WORD i.e. SON repented few times in the Old T. The repentance is NOT for sin, because GOD JESUS is sinless of course. Repent and believe... repent of your sins? or repent of your unbelief? Come Lord Yeshua quicklyyy...✝✝✝
When I ask the Holy Spirit and believe He will come to my mind while I'm doing my strongest effort in obeying The Word Of God and submitting to the will of God not doing my will but resisting the devil and witnessing under any circumstances even under life-threatening dangerous experiences. Keeping communion with Jesus throughout the nourishing my mind with The Word Of God the Bible. Rest in Jesus' presence all the time talking with Him all day long, today.
No God is alive and well. Jesus Christ was Resurrected after his crucifixion. That means he is alive and well. He will be coming back in the future, believe it or not. If you don't believe it, I would rather not be in your shoes.
Such teaching it is??? Are you nuts?? ''Thou shalt not permit a witch to live.'' ''Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes their heads against the rocks.'' ''If parents have a stubborn son, the village men may take the child to the edge of the village and stone him to death.'' ''You may buy your slaves from the heathens that surround you and they shall become your property for life. You may beat them and if they do not die within two days, you will not be punished.'' ''Kill every man, woman, and child and every animal, but every woman who has not been with a man you may keep for yourselves.'' ''If a man is being attacked and his wife grabs his attacker by his private parts, she shall have her hand cut off.'' ''If a woman has her monthly discharge, she is unclean and all she touches shall be unclean. Any chair she sits on shall be unclean and she shall be shunned until her discharge is completed.'' ''She lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.'' ''For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.'' Oh yes, such amazing teaching!!!! And I can produce dozens and dozens of even worse teachings from the ''good book'', be it the Old Testament or the New. But, as you Christian apologists always do when you realize that you have met a biblical scholar, an educated atheist who will make you look even more foolish than your comments, you will quietly withdraw back into your world of myth and superstition, stick your fingers in your ears, and sing 'la la la'.
🛐🙏💯💕❤❤❤❤❤️😭Heavenly Father JesusGod, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"
This expresses that you believe the true way to heaven !! : Lord Jesus, I have admitted I'm a sinner being sorry. Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And I fully trust that you have forgiven me by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purified my soul. Thank you Lord Jesus for greatly loving me, for forgiving me, saving me from hell and giving me eternal life and sealing me with the Holy Spirit dwelling within me forever!

Im so glad jesus saved me. I cant wait to go to ministry college this year to learn more about scripture and help grow my friendship with jesus, iv gone from wanted to die all the time to wanting to wake up and do gods will everyday as best as i can.
@user-ek2ms4om7p you may feel like you're in the wilderness, but god is working. But his still with you. Just give him time his timing is right. Not ours.... i tried jumping the queue 5 years ago to get there, but i wasn't ready, and it wasn't his timing. I had to go through a few things first.... dont be discouraged, stay in scripture, his spirit will lead you... and keep being humble and checking yourself for things against him that helped me... you will never know when he calls you.
Amen to this whole message and romans 5, ephesians 5, acts 4, 2 corinthians 4, 1 john 5 I bind every spirit that hinders or sickens the holy spirit in my life and those surrounding me in the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, hallelujah!
I always run away from that question, but let me it be confronted now, I see I am spiritually dead. But the fact I face it gives me hope, hope for a god not rejecting me, awaiting me pouring out his spirit to me. To receive life, truth love, to resist the ones not beeing in the truth and compromising the gospel either with sin or with legalism and to heal the wounded and to release the imprisoned, amen
I've heard MANY preacher go over this-- and you're the FIRST I've heard tell it PRECISELY and to the POINT ACCURATELY-- without sticking some man made tradition that they heard from some OTHER paster that heard it from some OHTER. and so on and so on!!! THANK YOU.. SIMPLE- ACCURATE and absollute TRUTH!!
And the thing about Salvation is that we did not deserve it at all! We were DEAD in our sins. But ohhhh thank God for Bis mercy and grace! How rich God is in mercy and grace!!!
When convicted the holy spirit brings you the truth and you feel so broken ...i have been broken for the past few months cause when you discover that you where not of God and where not abiding in him and the realization of the sinfulness of sin it over powers you the sword of the spirit , the word of God lights up the darkness and you understand how dark and sinful the flesh is and that God is Sovereign over everything and we are all under sin and children of disobedience, and how we need to all flee to the cross ..and the message of the cross is no longer foolishness, but the power of God to those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18) Lord santify us with truth of your word ..
I could use some prayers. I've been struggling with this and doubt for about a year now. Please pray for my 100 percent assurance of salvation and being a true Christian, or that if not I will be hopefully soon if not one day by God's grace alone. I have a hard time with it being an gift of God all on His own, as well as many verses saying we/individuals are called to "run the race" and strive and persist. It seems to be a harmonious wheel of both feeding each other that I struggle with.
Hey Preston. The only way to truly know is to receive the gift of speaking in tongues. Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. It's something that you have to ask for. Read Luke 11:5-13. Persist with prayer until you do. Oh, and you should get baptised by full immersion. Acts 2:38 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. Often people speak in tongues right after baptism, but not always so keep persisting. Also find a church that believes in the spiritual gifts and closely follow the word of God. Then you'll truly have the power of God in you. God bless
Father God, please please open Preston's eyes to your truth, and give him full assurance of Your saving grace. We are saved by faith through grace. You said if we believe in our hearts, and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, we shall be saved. You made it simple Lord. Now help this simple truth make the necessary transformation in Preston's life to allow him to see that he is saved. You have drawn him in, you have given your word. You say Your word is truth! We stand on it alone. By the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony we are overcomers. In Jesus name Amen
His question reminds me of when I was first saved I was praying to God and asking him how do I know I'm saved and I couldn't wrap my mind around having proof and after a while of prayer the Holy Spirit came upon me in a dream and literally told me I was saved. Amen. Praise Lord Jesus.
The answer provided by Pastor John was clear, concise and very useful both to me, and I'm sure to many others in our daily walk with God. Understanding the work of the Holy Spirit and keeping in step with all that God wants to do in us and through us is so important. Thank you also to the person who posed the very relevant question.
When we believe we are gifted with the Spirit. So gratitude manifests the Spirit of Power in my life. Hunger and thirst for eternal things. From death to Life!! Thank you King Jesus.❤️🙏
Cristina Robles It sounds like you've struggled with doubts for a while. It's actually not our love for God that shows we are saved, but his love for us. He accomplished our salvation on the cross. Let THAT be assurance. Hope that helps, God bless.
Who's here agrees with me that JESUS is the only Saviour the BEST and LOYAL FRIEND you could ever ask for?
@amg of course, Jesus gives unconditional love, mercy, grace! No other friend can do that!
Yes it is true
Amen
I agree Jesus is our Lord and Savior and ONLY THROUGH HIM CAN WE ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Peace be with you. 😊

Why would you hate your god given biology? Ours is to be grateful for all things. If you haven’t discovered your true identity then sexual thoughts may have too much of a priority in your life. The desire is perfectly acceptable, the power that your giving it is not. It does not define you!
Do you know what a true identity is...or how to find it?
Spirituality, I was dead. I could read the words of the Bible, but not comprehend. Now, I yearn to read and hear the Word of God. My joy comes from completely different sources. I know, without doubt, God has answered my pleas and provided me with peace and contentment. I cannot imagine anything more vital than growing closer to God. He is my breath and my salvation. Praise Him!

The Holy Spirit also brings scriptures to remembrance.
Agreed, but how do we distinguish that from just having a good memory? I guess you can ask this question about most things - how to discern whether the Holy Spirit actually inspired something, or whether we did in our own strength or wisdom or knowledge... :(
@@regvar8468 if you draw near to God He will draw near to you...if you stay in His word like He commanded you would know because He can't go against His Word.

And also yes to @LoveGodAndRepent (which is such an awesome RUclips handle❣️)- This is such an important and very nuanced discussion - And here are Just a few of some suggested goto passages that, through His planting of His Scriptures in heart & mind, are available to us to be Frequently meditating upon (Psalm 119:97 suggests), "ALL DAY LONG ❣️
AND to be praying from, that we each may continue in Victory ✌️ in Christ, as those "who do Not live according to the Sinful Nature but according to the Spirit" (Romans 8:1B & 4B).
I have included them below here, as a prayer for each of us and for your encouragement, edification and Exhortation - as well as my own:
1 Corintios 10:12-14=
"So if you think that you are standing Firm,
be careful that you don't Fall!"
- {For the Evil one, the World 🌎🌍, and our own Sin natures, are constantly trying so hard to get us to be pride-filled about any victories that Only God can bring -through His Spirit's empowering, transformation and renewing & Sanctifying of us. Which, until we are finally made complete in Him, on that Day of Christ = Philippians I:6= will continue to be carried "on to completion", through HIS Good Work in Us, to HIS GLORY ALONE.
It's always little by little, and Day by Day, "though outwardly we are wasting away"=
2 Cor. 4:16-18. And it's Right in the Midst of our "Light and momentary troubles", which "are achieving for us an eternal glory that FAR outweighs them ALL".
It will remain to be Slowly but surely, that we "are being transformed into His Likeness, with ever increasing GLORY, which comes from the LORD, who IS the Spirit"- Yup 👍🏽, You guessed it- from 2 Cor. 3:16-18.} -
"No temptation has seized {us} except what is common to humans. And God is Faithful; HE will Not let {us} be tempted beyond what {we} can bare. But when {we} ARE tempted, HE will Also provide a way out, so that {we} can stand up under it. Therefore, my dear Friends,
FLEE from Idolatry."
There are Oh so many more Scriptures to share that He's been planting within- but These are a Great 😃 Start, and will hopefully/Prayerfully be used to His GLORY to inspire further nuanced discussion and prayers for each other...

Even the Pharisees could do that.....even better.
Mr. C why would you say that?
Marie... Pastor John says all Christians have the Holy Spirit,
but the Lord Jesus Christ said [Mat 13] that many "Christians"
are unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to eternal
torment... and few "Christians" are saved "wheat" (sown by God)
and destined to eternal life. Who is correct Pastor John or Jesus?

Notice the "Christians" below call Jesus their "Lord"

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
--------------------------
Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luk 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

@@billleyland128What silliness is this question?
One way to know if you have been “born again” or “regenerate” is your relationship to sin. The unregenerate are slaves to sin. When the Holy Spirit makes us alive we are given a new relationship with sin. We can’t continue in it. Sin disrupts our peace. When regenerate people sin, they will feel like a cat thrown in the mud. They want to get out and get right with their Father. When the unregenerate sin, they are like a pig in the mud. They love it. They don’t even realize they’re in mud.

Recently I have been praying about this and really questioning my salvation. Today, this started playing randomly on my phone. I had never heard of this pastor/channel before and idk how it even started playing or where it came from. I had to screenshot and look it up later but wow… such a miracle of God and the Holy Spirit confirming He is with me ❤ thank you Lord 🥰
Yes!!! I love this! Because things like this is going to keep happening ! God bless !!
Amen,God Bless
Everyday, you feel in your heart and soul, a glow.,a peace, a calm, a serenity, an understanding, a strength, a feeling you are not alone, you have no fear of life, you embrace it, you engage it and wait patiently, respectfully, humbly for God to guide you, to give your life a purpose,a task in his name.
Amen.
I dream Jesus for a long time in my bedroom..But I am not Christian and I am a Muslim. He saw me and try to disappear quickly, and I called I couldn't see properly, Please show me your face, and he came back and showed and gone.. Is it good way I was so pleased to see Jesus..😢Thank you Lord .
Keep seeking Him
I was in the lowest place in my life and I prayed that Jesus would take my life, I was tired of my life. I started feeling so much love and peace. I asked Jesus to save me then, because of the peace, I fell asleep and slept so good. Everything has changed for me and now I know Jesus and He has never left me . Jesus, I pray this helps someone who needs your peace.
Amen
@@dmartin1955 That is amazing!!! God bless you!
Ask the Lord to be in your life now. ❤
Go to looking for him Jesus
This is the type of preaching I love, where it’s all about God and not about proseperity
👏
Prosperity is in the bible
God needs us to prosper so we can help establish His covenant.
Lately I’ve been struggling with assurance of my salvation, but now I realize that the spirit of God (Holy Spirit) dwells within me because I believe the Jesus Christ died on the cross and endured God’s wrath on sin for ME! Then God resurrected and brought Jesus back from the dead to show how powerful he is and to prove that he is the messiah. Also, the many miracles of the Holy Spirit that the video describes, I’ve experienced and now know that these only take place due to the spirit and not of my own carnal knowledge, but only the wisdom God has given me. It just amazes me how wonderful God is to send his only (PERFECT) son to die for all of us sinners, then to prove his power, he rose Jesus from the dead. God is always good in every situation even if we don’t see how the pieces intersect together. Jesus cleansed me of all sins so that I could be forgiven of all my sins and be a child of his for all eternity. I’m so glad to have the BEST DADDY EVER!!!!!!! GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME BECAUSE I CANT MAKE IT TO HEAVEN ON MY OWN AND ONLY YOU CAN SAVE ME WHICH YOU DID!!!!!! I am proud to declare that I am a born again Christian due to all that Christ has done! God bless all of you!AMEN!
I had trouble with this too! But Satan is a lair! What Jesus did on the Cross for our sins is true and real! And it is the Truth and we have to know it! We go by faith and not by what we feel because our hearts our deceitful but how POWERFUL the Lord is!💖🙌🏽🙌🏽
Praise the Lord
Yes absolutely!!! Praise Jesus!! Now that your whitewashed by his blood, you are a co-heir with him, CO-Heir, that means you get to partner with the spirit, wrestle and argue with God if you don't understand, and ask and recieve anything you request of him, God now works WITH you not just around and for you, walk with him without shame
A body without a spirit is dead. James 2:26. Remedy: Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. John 3:16. Jesus Christ, a Spirit God was birth in a body and soul thru a human Mary. Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you receive His Spirit to be a born again 'spirit' christian. John 3:3,6; the second birth. The born again spirit is holy and Temple of God indwelt by the Powerful Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 3:16-17, Acts 1:8. This basic Christianity is the basis to conform/conclude with other verses of the New Testament Bible. Praise God. Amen.
Amen 🙏❣️
I have always been a Christian but i have gotten closer to God and my savior Jesus Christ in 12 yrs💜🙏
Keep it up, never drift away
@@CB-uc5yz . Thank you. I love Jesus with my whole heart. I love My father God. Blessings to you. 🙏🙏
Literally this answer made me cry and reassure Ive been save by The Lord Christ and it wasn’t my decision at all.
Francisco Marquez amen me too.
Me too!!!
Predestination
You become a disciple to be saved. Mathew 28:16-19. You need to be made into one my friend in a church that makes disciples and obeys the Bible. That was Jesus last command before His death
Its a50-50 thing. Predestination yes, but you need to choose to have a relationship with Him and confess out proud with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you want Him in your life and you want Him to be your master and your King. Amen, praise YHWH
Wow! I have been following Christ for 42 years. This is by far the BEST teaching regarding having the Holy Spirit in my life. Thank you.
Florence Smith
True spiritual maturity is realized when you can no longer be condemned or accused. It’s for this that Christ lived and died. No condemnation!
So true.
So you was following 20 years be four you were born! 😀
Agree 100%
The holy spirit keeps my path straight
Thank you Jesus for all that you do.for always being here for me and my family.i feel so peaceful and calm knowing that I have you in my life.i love you so much!!!!!
It's the holy spirit who tells us and reveals to us the truth about God and his will into our lives... When you have the holy spirit it will reveal to you who God is and his love. And whenever you pray.. You will always feel that kind of overwhelming kind of feelings like joy and peace and security. And when that happeneds no matter how stressful or happy the situation is you can't stop your eyes from the tears. 😊
Its the peace for me
Thats the tears of joy a big big big joy to my heart and soul 😊
If you need to ask you something about that one time quantity energy wondering you cannot afford the credentials opportunity to get the message
What are you talking about??
AMEN!
One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing.
I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me!
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV
My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.
People, that’s all you need is faith. Only believe. The church needs a revelation of faith. Faith is simple, only believe. Consume the word of God and your faith will grow. When you do works whatever it is, use that faith! Don’t doubt, it’s so easy and God can do so much more!
The Greek word for spirit is "pneuma". It literally means "breath". Comes from the word pneo which means to breathe. It is in the neuter gender thus Holy spirit is not a person. Think of a pneumatic tyre or nail gun. But because it has 5 aspects in the Bible it takes on the meaning "an invisible force". EG the WIND as at John 3:8. It can be an ANGEL as at Heb 1:7, It can mean ones dominant FEELING and motivation, eg he has a happy spirit or a sad spirit. It can mean the LIFE FORCE in us as breathers. O2 and food carried by the blood. or it will mean HOLY SPIRIT. the latter has 2 manifestations. One is the spirit one gets when one obtains an accurate knowledge and understanding of Gods word and really gets the sense of it. Acts 5:32 says God gives his spirit to those OBEYING him as best we can in accord with our differing levels of faith. so requires both. The other is when one receives the SPIRIT ANOINTING, OR IS BORN AGAIN. This process is also called being SEALED , and SPIRIT OF ADOPTION. 2 Cor 1:21,22. Eph.1:13, 4:30 , Colos. 4:4--6. Paul also called it "partakers of the heavenly calling" Heb 3;1. When one has this experience he will be filled with the spirit, certainly initially, but the level wil change with the passage of time. I know readers of this wont agree the spit is not a person. I can prove this with 20 biblical reasons should anyone call for such.
Ralph Goreham So when Jesus said when the Spirit of truth is come, he will show you of things to come. There are countless verses that addresses the Holy Ghost as a person, the Spirit of God. It’s like saying the soul or spirit in your body isn’t a person. Yet without the soul you’re dead.
@@aaronwilliams673 Hello Aaron, thank you for your response. Here are 20 reasons as promised. BTW we do not have an immortal spirit or soul in us but one thing at a time. KJV only. (1)has no name or consistant term. EG Mat. 12: 28, 31,32 Jesus "the spirit of God" , " The Spirit, The Holy Spirit. Yet Eph 3:14 tells us EVERY creature in heaven and earth has a name. (2) There are 8 visions of God on his throne in the Bible, 3 have Jesus there, but h/s =none. (3) Covered in my previous post, as you would have noted. The base meaning is "breath" and that is not a person. (4) Every analogy or comparison is impersonal. Wind, "like a dove", "as if fire", "a rushing stiff breeze", "poured out""He blew upon them saying receive holy spirit. (All Koine Greek is in capitals so it is up to the translator to decide what should be capitalized). (5) It is called Gods POWER, Greek "dynamis" at Luke 5:17 "the power of the Lord " Luke 8:46 "power went out of me", Luke 11:20 it is called "Gods finger". Luke 24:49b "but tarry ye in the city of Jerus. until ye be endowed with POWER FROM ON HIGH". (6) Romans 8:16 and 8:26 KJV both say the spirit ITSELF (NOT HIMSELF) And at John 15:26 KJV says Holy spirit WHICH proceedeth from the Father. (7)1 Thess 5:19 says "Do not QUENCH the spirit. Interlinear says "Be you not be extinquishing the spirit. Can anyone do that to any part of God? (8) John 1:1, Mark 13:32, 1 Cor 8:6, 1 Cor 11:3, 1 Tim 2:5, Mat. 24:36 are all key scriptures yet none of them include the h/s. (9) At John 17:3 Jesus said his Father was the ONLY TRUE GOD, excluding himself and h/s. (10) Acts 2:33 says Jesus "received the promised h/s from the Father". As is often the case there is no definite article "the" infront of Holy Spirit or Spirit. But with one exception in the NT, God (theos or theon) ALWAYS has the definite article in front of that title. How could one say h/s is equal to the Father as a person when like Jesus was SENT. continued
(11) Revelation always calls it "The spirit, KJV, and we read 7 lamps before Gods throne are 7 spirits. Do you say that means 7 persons of holy spirit? (it actually means the fulness of Gods spirit given to the "Lamb" (12)
why is the expresion holy spirit not in the Hebrew either as indeed is the word trinity or anything remotely suggesting such. (13) Why is the Holy Spirit never praised, worshipped, or honored as are God and Jesus, Rev 5:15,16. (14) Why does h/s never say a greeting in all the N.T letters as did "God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ." All it does is guide, teach, anoint, and is used to convey new revelation. Why? because it is not a person. (15) And, it has no loving relationship with God or Jesus as they, since there is no communication by it with either. (16) Similarly 1 Cor 3:23 "You belong to Christ, Christ belongs to God. Who belongs to the h/s and does "he" belong to anybody.? (17) There is still 1 and a half billion members belonging to , according to Google, 33,000 divisions within the Christian realm. Does it make sense that "he" dwells in all of them?. many come and go from their "Christian" course. Does that mean "he" ducks in and out of them when they stray.??? (18) Jesus alternated in John chapters 14 through 16 speaking of "the spirit of the truth" and "helper" Greek paracletos. this is in the masculine gender and necessarily caries with it Masculine pronouns "he", "him and "whom" . This was PERSONALIZATION for reassurance. He said wisdom had "children" and Paul said sin and death "rule as Kings". The prophets often spoke of hills and trees clapping their hands .
continued
(19) If one checks any Greek Interlinear the definite article "the" is not there in front of pnema, but commonly translators put it there anyway to help dress it up as a person. Especially in the early chapters of Acts. At other times they insert "He", "Him" when they too are not there. (20) Finally we see at 1 John 4:6 "the spirit of truth contrasted with "the spirit of error". So either both are persons or both are not. Also we see "the breath of God" is synonomous with the "spirit of God. Compare Psm 33;3 with Psm 104:29,30. KJV .There are more reasons it cant be a person, but that should suffice. See if you can choose a couple and refute the reasoning.
or , see if you can find any verses that show we have an immortal soul or spirit.
"So if you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will God give the Spirit to anyone who asks him"
My mind is on the Lord daily thanking him for my life. Thankful for being able to pray and go to church and receive holy communion. I try to repent of my sins daily. Being in control of emotions and not to complain. Getting along with others is a challenge sometimes , but I have to remember getting upset is not healthy it hurts your mind and body. I pray for control because we all have to deal with the evil ways of the world. Pray for each other cause others can’t, they live in darkness. 💫✝️
God have mercy 🙏
For one you don’t try to repent you will repent or you will perish repentance isn’t a matter of trying it’s a matter of doing and you shouldn’t be repenting daily Jesus said go and sin no more that’s a commandment so this sinning everyday won’t get you anywhere he didn’t die for us so we can stay in sin he died on the cross so we would turn away from sin put our faith in Jesus Christ and live holy the Bible says he who sins is a slave to sin and the Bible also says he who the son sets free shall be free indeed free of what? Free of sin.
@@chasethechosenone8478 we live around sin we are not made perfect like Jesus. We fall we make mistakes that’s why I ask God for mercy I’m a sinner and we have to repent daily if not when possible cause our Lord know our ways. Don’t you make mistakes? I do but I always tell my Lord I’m sorry I acted a certain way or said something wrong. That is my ways so you do what you do I will follow my what is written in the Bible.
@@dianaleal5183 I’m trying to help you cause I want you to go to heaven to be with me and Jesus and everyone who put their faith in him you need to truly repent and stop your sinning if you’re struggling with sin just come to god very humble and cry out to him and he will help you overcome sin he delivered me from many sins now I have no desire to do them again and the Bible talks about unless you are born again you will not see the kingdom of god really examine yourself don’t believe that we sin everyday cause I don’t sin everyday I’ve been delivered from lust and porn and sex outside of marriage he wants us to live a life of victory and sin isn’t a mistake that’s deliberately being disobedient I’m trying to teach you the right way you prob were taught a false gospel truly repent from all sin that you know of be disciplined and put your faith in Jesus and live holy that’s it
I got baptized and I wanna please God but I fell back in my sexual sin and I need prayer
Tp4l Games resist the devil. Ask someone to pray daily for you Bring sin into light. Hiding it gives it power I'm praying now for you
Ask God for wisdom and courage. Being baptized is a great thing, but doesn't cure your heart. Wanting to please God doesn't cure your heart. But falling before The Cross and accepting Jesus blood and sacrifice as our payment of sin gives you a new heart for ever! Your sins will be thrown in the depths of the sea. Rejoice in that! And absorb life! Ask Him for Wisdom to know and courage to do. I pray the Holy Spirit shines through you.
@Parker Saxon fall before the Savior Jesus and give it all to him. Ask him into your life if you haven't already! The Lord will give you a clean heart that is then Eternal! Satan cannot touch that. He will discourage you through your mind and lie to you. Ask the Lord for strength and courage. Wisdom to know the difference. Cast your burdens upon Him bro.
Parker Saxon I’ll pray for you. I’ve been there too. Took a major disaster to make me give up my sin ( though I’m still tempted). My advice: Pray that Jesus would show you the way out when you are tempted. Get your mind on Him and (this is important)...find a trusted Christian who is older in the faith than you, and ask them to be a spiritual mentor to you, as well as help you by prayer, and holding you accountable by being blunt honest with each and confessing sins to each other.
I've been in your position before. I kept on coming back to my old sin of immorality even though I have become a " Christian". I only began to overcome it and have victory over it when I submitted to God and gave my all to him, not 50% or 99% of myself but 100%, and just be obedient and do his will for me.
When my world fell apart, JESUS was there for me! not just saying it, I REALLY REALLY mean it, He showed up and comforted me. I might hve written myself off, but Jesus treated me like a gentleman, He was Gracious and Patient! I love Him so much.
There’s no question..He’s unmistakeable. Sealed for the day of His coming. He”ll bring back whatever scriptures you’ve read. Was an alcoholic for years..went to sleep asking to be free. Woke up in complete freedom after 40 yrs, completely free now for 30 yrs.

Amen. I was dead and was in no way seeking God. But now my whole worldview and affections (wavering as those affections may be from time to time) have taken a u turn. As flawed as I still am, I cannot find peace any longer in my former ways. Each time that I stray from the path, like a dumb sheep, His rod and His staff bring me back and give me comfort.
Oh, wretched man that I am, who will free me from this body of death?
God has done it and will complete it in the day of my Lord Jesus Christ.

AMEN AND HALLE TO YAHWEH TO THAT BROTHER !! 🙏🏾 🙌🏾 ❤️
This has been true for me as well. My whole worldview utterly changed. I felt so comfortable with the worldly view and sin….it seemed so natural and acceptable. When I accepted Jesus….everything flipped! Now things that seemed perfectly acceptable to me are now repugnant. My spirit reacts when I sin or am confronted by worldly things that I would have avidly embraced. I still get shocked by how much my views have changed in the matter of a year! I still experience a refining of my views….like my sense of what is right and proper are getting sharper by the day 🤷♀️
You would know it for sure. It is a loving feeling. Ever since I got baptized at 27 I got the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gets you through rough times. What I went through in my life I should have died. God protected me.
How did you find someone to baptize you?

Thank you so much....I've always known I have the Holy Spirit. No Christian can truly be a Christian without God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ
Mostly I think we know that the Holy Spirit is within us and we are filled by Him : when we bear HIS FRUIT - joy , love , peace , patience , kindness, meekness, gentleness, temperance, humility and self - control .
And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
I get chills when i pray, praise in church, and when i speak the truth. Only 12 yrs ive had the Holy Spirit. Im 55 now.
Well, my friend, the first thing I would ask of the holy spirit is ''Please can you help me with my grammar as it is atrocious, and while you are at it, could you get the heating turned up as I am so cold I am chilled.'' As for the truth, it is defined as ''That which is in accordance with fact or reality.'' Reading your comments I see no evidence of either.
Why are you ugly to anyone when they share their thoughts
@@joyfrantzis7342 By ugly I assume you mean disrespectful, I am not disrespectful, I am skeptical, I just hate it when people make claims that they cannot demonstrate to be true. For the last 2,000 years, people like these have been claiming that there is an invisible man who lives in the sky who created the world, watches us 24/7, reads our thoughts, controls all that we do, and is responsible for every ill that befalls mankind. But during the last 2,000 years, no one has ever produced the slightest shred of evidence to confirm the veracity of these claims. That is why I am an atheist, and the more I read, the more I am convinced that I am right. These people, with their ridiculous claims and statements only reinforce and confirm my atheistic views.
@@billleyland128 and yet your in a video comment section regarding something you find ridiculous.
Jesus understood very well the real problem with man regarding disbelief.
It is not a question of the head that keeps man from faith , it is a question of the heart.
@@rasheedfraser5680 My main reason for posting is to attempt, by using rational argument, and scientific fact. to wean humankind away from a stifling, restricting, supernatural-based fantasy world into one that replaces faith with fact, belief with truth, and claims with evidence. Faith is nothing more than believing in something without good evidence, if you could provide evidence in support of your particular belief, you would not require faith. As an example. I have faith that there lives in my bedroom closet a mischievous little pixie who sets off my alarm clock an hour early, hides my socks, and when I drop my toast, causes it to fall butter-side down, is my faith justified, and if not, why not?

No is not the same. Man and wife relationship is
Love, Trust,
Honesty, Faithfulness,
Commitment
Compassion
Compromise
Communication
Forgiveness
Converted (both must be a Christian)
Patience & understanding.
LOVE isn't always perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a storybook. And it doesn't always come easy.
Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on & never letting go, It is a short word, easy to spell difficult to define, and impossible to live without. Love is work but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute and every second was worth it because you did it together.
@KTTGHMTJWYCBLAC
Continue......
Ephesians 5:25
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, ....Ephesians 5:22-33
And both party have to put God first in their marriage, regardless what! .... wife submit to husband. And husband loves your wife.
Jesus said love one another as I have love you. Forgive one another as I have forgive you. Have mercy on others because I have mercy on you.
Love your enemy and pray for your enemy.
Yes Lord. Thank you for reminding us with your words.
Amen..........the end.
I wrestle with this about having the holy spirit in me

Relax.....if you even have the presence of mind to inquire, then you are already there. Piper is long winded about such things. He needs to learn how to say things in six statements or less. Brevity is a sign of spirit wisdom. What does that tell you about Mr. piper?
Stay strong, my dude. I may not have the answer you are looking for, but from reading Luke 12:22-34, I know that the journey to find God's kingdom (and therefore the Holy Spirit) is worth it.

The kingdom is void of condemnation and accusation. Maturity is realized when these are eliminated. Christ lived and died for this very reason.

that so called "Christians" consist of BOTH those who
are unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to
eternal torment and saved "wheat" (sown by God) and
destined to eternal life... you think when Jesus said that

Sara, from where does his authority come from???
You will feel the connection, you will feel the most surreal and overwhelming feeling.
I speak tongues yet don't feel worthy why am I confused
@@williammink7494 I'm late but satan is confusing you hes using his demons my friend
This is what I experience since the start of the year. I have been born and raised in a Christian family. Attended school in a Christian School my whole life. What I can say is if you are truly been born again their is radical change in your life, i realized how sinful I am and in need of a Savior in the person of Jesus Christ. And my desires is now anchored towards knowing God. Glory be to God for pursuing me. Thank you Lord Jesus! ✝️❤️
This expresses that you believe the true way to heaven !! : Lord Jesus, I have admitted I'm a sinner being sorry. Therefore, I do not trust in my own works to go to heaven because I realize, being a sinner, I cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that you require to pay for sin. Instead, I fully trust, believing in my heart, that your finished work on the cross, your one perfect blood sacrifice; when you bled, suffered and died, in my place, paid for my sins in full, past, present and future ! And I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore !!! And I fully trust that you have forgiven me by cleansing me from all sin in your precious blood, which purified my soul. Thank you Lord Jesus for greatly loving me, for forgiving me, saving me from hell and giving me eternal life and sealing me with the Holy Spirit dwelling within me forever! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Rev.1:5, Ephes.1:7,13, 4:30, Heb.10:10-14,19,38,39,I John 5:7,13,20
Jesus said that he would send a helper so if you beleive and follow Christ you should receive the Spirit.
Both are right because when Pastor John said all he meant as in all Christians, and by that real Christians. There are many fake Christians, who will not receive the Spirit and will not stay the course.
@@HearGodsWord ... Child, my point (as stated above) is only that
NOT all "christians" are real "Christians". That MANY who call Jesus "Lord"
are really unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to eternal torment.
-------------
Neither I nor John Piper said that every Christian is a real Christian so don't 'child' me!
I think we're actually all in agreement on your point about real and fake Christians.
You might want to change your name as you're not seeming very wise if you don't understand what John Piper has said or what I have said. Child.
“When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”

doesn't get clearer than that.
Amen!
Amen!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hello there ! I am a Roman Catholic , when I was born , I was baptised in the Name of the Father , the Son and Holly Spirit , I strongly believe that the Holly Spirit live in me . Thank you for the video 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤😘
But do you believe in Jesus and did you receive Him as Lord and Savior? Cause that’s the only way to be saved and to receive His Holy Spirit.

John makes a very important point. I've heard pastors ask congregations to raise their hands when they got saved. Well, 99.9% of them will associate their "salvation" with the day they were baptized. However, if you were to press many of those people, most would be honest enough to say that they don't remember when they were TRULY saved. I'm a living testimony to this occurrence. For years. I struggled with a particular sin--I'm talking about MANY years . . . .decades in fact. I didn't have true victory over that sin until this last year. When I truly got serious about my sin, I got serious with God. With brokenness and repentance, I KNOW that the Holy Spirit has filled me because when I'm even tempted to commit this sin, I have an overwhelming conviction NOT to commit it. That is something I didn't experience before. Today, I KNOW that I'm saved--no doubt about it. I'm definitely filled with the Holy Spirt and my life has been eternally changed.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the faith you give me everyday
I personally feel a kind of fire in my body physically when I become impassioned by the Spirit. When i am bold in my prayers, I feel a tickling heat course through my body and sometimes an embrace or a wind come upon me. I feel this especially when I've had to rebuke tormenting demons in my presence. If I let myself become empowered with scripture and tell Satan to get behind me, I feel totally consumed in spirit. He has helped banish even the memory of those terrible demons away from my mind. They are dead and will not rise again. Incredible.
Romans 8:9
You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
Romans 8:9 CSB
Just thought I'd share the correct verse cause I looked it up and he said Romans 5:9
Crystal L. Carranza I noticed it when I opened my KJV and when I heard him say it I was so confused to why mine said different lol I need to be more careful to when this happens. I’m barley started my walk with the Lord so I don’t know a whole lot of my bible yet. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
@@leonardogarcia9651 no problem it's always good to go back and look it up yourself, studying and holding on to the word of God will always be the most important thing to our faith 😌 we walk by faith not by sight.
Thanks!
Thanks! :)
Wow, literally last night I couldn't sleep, started praying (not aloud) and at the end asked Holy Spirit if I may ask to please show me He is in me. And later still not being able to sleep, here pops up this video. (Not AI. And I didn't search for this topic at anytime. )
Even if it was AI, this was exactly what I so desperately wanted to know and be sure of.
I asked the holy spirit in at 11 or 12 while singing a praise song. Could feel peace and love, and the spirit fights against angry or critical feelings toward others, reminding me that I was forgiven of much. Fights ALL evil thoughts for me, and is a warner against deceit.
- THE LOVE OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST with us forever.
- THE POWER OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST with us forever.
- THE WISDOM OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST with us forever.
🙌 May the Love of God |the FATHER| and the Grace of the Lord |the WORD| and the Communion with the HOLY SPIRIT be with us His sheep, Amen.✝✝✝
God's Holy Spirit keeps us until the day of redemption❤️❤️❤️❤️I will never leave you or forsake you🙏✝️❤️
I'm amazed because I know that I don't deserve what God has given me when it comes to my salvation.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight."
Psalm 9:11"8
Yes I believe You Lord God bless me and my family ❤
I believe I was lost thinking I had to do something in my power,my control and not realizing the sovereign gift of salvation. The finished work of Jesus Christ is a free gift to me. I have heard the truth and believe Jesus the Son of God has died fir my sins. I was dead in my sins and now I am alive in Christ . Forgiven and born again in the Holy Spirit of God. Praise God the Father, Jesus his only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit!!!
I repeat: Spoke the word of God with boldness! The absolute sure way to know is when u Speak God’s language also known as tongues this is absolutely true I have witnessed it for myself and it’s an amazing transition to actually see someone getting consumed by this power it’s like the Holy Spirit sets u ablaze! I myself am living everyday waiting for God to grant me his gift…and everyday I get closer…please have your way Lord🙌🏽
Here's the quickest and easiest way I've found.. so fast and simple: 1 Cor 12:3 "..no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except in the Holy Spirit".
Is this really true ?
@@chantalduffy2978 You must truly repent of your sins! You must be extremely remorseful ( crying ) of the sins you committed and ask god for forgiveness ( literally ). Doing so, you will receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit!
This morning the Lord took me to 2 Timothy 2 once again. Here’s verse 19-26:
19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, [b]sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
When I read “The Lord knows who are His”. The words, “I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice iniquity” came to mind. So it is possible that you think He knows you, but He doesn’t. How do you know whether or not He knows you? “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity”. It’s as clear as daylight to me! And the blood of the Lamb enables us to do just that.
Look at verse 25, “IF GOD PERHAPS WILL GRANT THEM REPENTANCE”, to those who say we don’t need to repent. As per verse 26, if we don’t repent and turn from sin, we have been taken captive by the devil and is doing his will. And this is when Jesus does not know us.
We have to read everything in context with the rest of the Bible.
So I am pleading with you, if you have been telling people that they just have to say that they believe, say a prayer and that they then have eternal security, rectify it! Jesus does not know them if they have not departed from iniquity as clearly stated above! THAT IS THE SEAL, DEPARTING FROM INIQUITY! No, we cannot do it in our own strength, but this is part of faith; believing in the enabling power of the blood of the Lamb. Not to say we’ll ever be perfect whilst on this earth. This will only happen when we see Him, but He will continue the good work that He has started until that day.
God bless you all!
@@abbafatherswarriorprincess3627 thank you so much, I understand it now. But do you have an explanation for "how to receive the holy spirit"? And how can I be sure if I am saved and going to heaven? Because I am afraid that Jesus will tell me that he doesn't know me.
@@tabearoersch9783 All glory to God!
Luke 11:13
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
I would just like to mention here that I am also still learning... but I love sharing what I’ve learnt from God with my brothers and sisters :D . But we have to test everything we hear from others (even pastors etc) against Scripture with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
I think this is a rather controversial subject, probably because of the different ways that the Spirit is received by those recorded in the Bible.
If you have the Holy Spirit, you will bear fruit.
Many people believe that if you just say the sinner’s prayer and believe in Jesus, you can continue to live the way you did before, but you’re sealed for eternity. There are so many Scriptures that contradict this.
Salvation is definitely a gift because Scripture teaches that by grace we are saved through faith and not that of ourselves, lest we should boast. Once we’ve repented and truly put our trust in the Lord Jesus as our Saviour, He will put His Holy Spirit inside of us and start working in us.
Philippians 1:6 tells us that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
And so… we won’t be perfect until that day that we see Him, but there will be a continuous work done by Him through His Holy Spirit.
So we need to have a relationship with Jesus as opposed to religion. Allowing His Holy Spirit to search our hearts and search our minds and working in us, that is how He knows us.
So ultimately, we have to believe with all of our heart that Jesus has died for our sins by His death, burial and resurrection. That the same power who has raised Jesus from the dead, lives inside of us and has the power to change us and empower us to do the will of God. Jesus said that those who believe on Him, He will in no wise cast out and His promises are true!
The very best advice that I can give you, is to sincerely seek the Lord with all of your heart and He will reveal all things to you.
If you’d like to chat some more, please feel free to pop me an e-mail: celeste.worship@uct.ac.za .
I am saying a prayer for you!
I am amazed by His grace bestowed upon me. How the Holy Spirit gave me full conviction that Jesus is the only way, banishing all doubts, annointed in the timing of the Lord . Amen to Him be the glory 🙏
Sovereign Grace 🙌🏼 Thank you KING JESUS! ❤️🕊
Pastor John says all Christians have the Holy Spirit,
but the Lord Jesus Christ said [Mat 13] that many "Christians"
are unsaved "tares" (sown by Satan) and destined to eternal
torment... and few "Christians" are saved "wheat" (sown by God)
and destined to eternal life. Who is correct Pastor John or Jesus?
------------
Notice the "Christians" below call Jesus their "Lord"
-------------
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
--------------------------
Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luk 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

Wise Virgin You have made an observation that is valid. However, both Jesus & Piper can be right at the same time. Our human egos tend to draw us into either or thinking, or black & white thinking when sometimes the answer is grey. In this instance Piper seems to be speaking more generally about truly regenerated, blood washed, born again, Holy Spirit indwealing children of God. His explanation is about having the Holy Spirit vs being filled up with the Holy Spirit. The Bible also teaches about quenching the Spirit with our sin. Piper does not go into the topic you are describing about the wheat & tares, sheep & goats, elect & non-elect, false converts, etc... You are correcting that there are many over churched & under reached human souls in the church today. I was one for 35 years. As a Calvinist i interpret that as God’s plan for my life. He predestined my salvation initiation to begin at the chronological age of 35. Thank the Lord He doesn’t give up on His elect! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 It is one of our responsibilities now as converts to evangelize the world and fulfill our part in the Great Commission. Perseverance of the Saints is an excellent doctrine to study. With Truth & Grace ❤️
@@gregthomas82 ... Child, you can ASSUME that John Piper was just being careless
with his words when he said "to be a Christian is to HAVE the Holy Spirit", but the
preacher is responsible to (a) preach the whole counsel of God and (b) to NOT be
careless with his words - because that only promotes heresy.
---------
Secondly, the Bible teaches that REAL Christians "wheat/sheep/saints) produce "fruit"
(which includes understanding) some 30 fold, some 60 fold, some 100 fold...
and we know the PROCESS of sanctification takes time.
-------------
I am simply saying that it is the responsibility of the preacher to (a) preach the
whole counsel of God and (b) to NOT be careless with his words because that
only promotes heresy.
---------------
Wise Virgin Censorious Spirit vs Spirit of Love would be a good topic for study also. Grace, Love, Mercy, Kindness
@@gregthomas82 ... I will make a deal with you child.
If you FIRST provide the BIBLICAL definition of the word "love" then I would be
more than willing to discuss your theory of "Consorious Spirit" vs Spirit of Love.
However, if you cannot even DEFINE the Biblical definition of "love" then we are
talking apples and oranges - and you are only expressing your "feelings" instead
of Biblical doctrines.

Bahahaah
That was nearly 1 year ago. His SOOOOO GOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

One of my favourite passages that explains how and when the miracle of the Holy Spirit occurs:
Ephesians 1:13-14 =
"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your Salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-To The Praise of His Glory."
And another one, that also shows how we are able to stand Firm in Christ,❣️ =
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 =
"Now it is God who makes both us and you Stand Firm in Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come."
@rejipaul2185 Quite thoroughly did you study these Truths, through the SOURCE Himself= His Spirit of Truth; Using His greatest physical RESOURCE= His WORD of TRUTH. Thank you, dear brother in Christ ❣️
A couple of very minor references that didn't line up with your words=
You said : " May the World..." When you meant to say, "May the WORD
of our LORD, GOD And Saviour, Yeshua HaMeshiach, dwell in you Richly... "
Which I pray for you as well dear brother -- that's a passage that His Spirit of Truth often Reminds me of, and one that He planted within my heart, mind and spirit early on, as He transformed me into a New Creation in Christ -
But, it's from Colossians 3:16 and Not 3:15, as you had recorded it to be-- here's the Greek Scriptures address that you meant to quote= 3:16 (NOT 3:15)-
And it's just as encouraging in NIV English version from 1984=
"Let the WORD of Christ dwell in you Richly, as you teach and Admonish one another with ALL Wisdom, and as you Sing Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs with Gratitude in your hearts to God."
I appreciate your commitment to His Truth, and walking in His Spirit, to His GLORY ALONE, and no longer according to the sinful nature - And I pray we both will grow by leaps and bounds through the Remains of our days, in His sanctification- As He transforms us into His Likeness with ever increasing GLORY, which comes from the LORD Himself,
Who is the Spirit ❣️

Amen and Amen 🙏 hallelujah thank you God in Christ Jesus
The Holy Spirit will not make us sleep until we search for God first. The Holy Spirit is in us when we love Jesus & confess in our mouth that Jesus is our Lord & Savior. Also, we become very excited talking about God & Jesus. Jesus is your No1 love
One morning I got up reborn and with a new life force and a view of myself and the world around me. The Holy Spirit descended on me after 1 week of sincere search for Jesus Christ, after years of madness with new age deception. 🙌🙏
In the name of the father son holy spirit amen 🙏 In Jesus Christ AMEN AMEN AMEN hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah 🙏
Most detailed answer I ever heard... This confirms I have the Holy Spirit it’s basically like me believing I passed a test and then getting the paper back and seeing I aced it with flying colors
The book of 1st John explains how we know if we are a child of GOD.
AMEN!
One day, out of the blue, I understood completely how much God loves and cherishes me as I am. So I invited him to fill my heart with His Love and Heavenly Peace to overflowing.
I felt his love surround me like a warm comforting blanket. I no longer worry about what anyone thinks of me. Whether they like me or not. Care about me or not. Knowing Jesus loves me by dying on the cross to save me from hell is more than enough for me!
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful (humbled and his disciples of peace). Colossians 3:15 NIV
My heart is filled with so much of his heavenly peace that it overflows with heavenly love. I feel so loved and cherished. NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN EVER HURT ME AGAIN! Now, I am at peace with everything and everyone in my life. I can even forgive and bless my enemies! If you haven't already, I encourage you to invite him! He is knocking at the door of your heart waiting for you to open it so he can embrace you with Heavenly Love! JESUS SAID keep your mind on him and he will keep you in perfect heavenly peace. NO ONE AND NOTHING WILL HARM YOU WHEN HE'S IN YOUR HEART.
I want to thank all of you that has responded to my message. It has given me so much peace.God Bless you.x
The truth sets you free. Hearing this at a low point in my Christian life, when I feel so messed up and unsure of my salvation because my many shortcomings, is reassuring. Thank you.
Find yourself back to the feet of the cross. Dont pull away from the Lord, he will never leave or forsake us. Sanctification is a process, keep confessing and repenting. God bless!
Maybe you don't know or already know.. but GOD HIMSELF/in His WORD i.e. SON repented few times in the Old T.
The repentance is NOT for sin, because GOD JESUS is sinless of course. Repent and believe... repent of your sins? or repent of your unbelief?
Come Lord Yeshua quicklyyy...✝✝✝
When I ask the Holy Spirit and believe He will come to my mind while I'm doing my strongest effort in obeying The Word Of God and submitting to the will of God not doing my will but resisting the devil and witnessing under any circumstances even under life-threatening dangerous experiences. Keeping communion with Jesus throughout the nourishing my mind with The Word Of God the Bible. Rest in Jesus' presence all the time talking with Him all day long, today.
No God is alive and well. Jesus Christ was Resurrected after his crucifixion. That means he is alive and well. He will be coming back in the future, believe it or not. If you don't believe it, I would rather not be in your shoes.
How amazing for such teaching it is! Glory to God the Holy Spirit. . Amen!
Such teaching it is??? Are you nuts?? ''Thou shalt not permit a witch to live.''
''Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes their
heads against the rocks.''
''If parents have a stubborn son, the village men may
take the child to the edge of the village and stone him to
death.''
''You may buy your slaves from the heathens that surround
you and they shall become your property for life. You may
beat them and if they do not die within two days, you will
not be punished.''
''Kill every man, woman, and child and every animal, but every
woman who has not been with a man you may keep for
yourselves.''
''If a man is being attacked and his wife grabs his attacker by
his private parts, she shall have her hand cut off.''
''If a woman has her monthly discharge, she is unclean and
all she touches shall be unclean. Any chair she sits on shall
be unclean and she shall be shunned until her discharge
is completed.''
''She lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those
of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.''
''For I have come to set a man against his father, and a
daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law.''
Oh yes, such amazing teaching!!!! And I can produce dozens and dozens of even worse teachings from the ''good book'', be it the Old Testament or the New. But, as you Christian apologists always do when you realize that you have met a biblical scholar, an educated atheist who will make you look even more foolish than your comments, you will quietly withdraw back into your world of myth and superstition, stick your fingers in your ears, and sing 'la la la'.
🛐🙏💯💕❤❤❤❤❤️😭Heavenly Father JesusGod, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior.

Im so glad jesus saved me. I cant wait to go to ministry college this year to learn more about scripture and help grow my friendship with jesus, iv gone from wanted to die all the time to wanting to wake up and do gods will everyday as best as i can.
I'm so glad for you Bro. Unfortunately i'm still waiting in the wilderness... Isaiah 42:3✝✝✝
@user-ek2ms4om7p you may feel like you're in the wilderness, but god is working. But his still with you. Just give him time his timing is right. Not ours.... i tried jumping the queue 5 years ago to get there, but i wasn't ready, and it wasn't his timing. I had to go through a few things first.... dont be discouraged, stay in scripture, his spirit will lead you... and keep being humble and checking yourself for things against him that helped me... you will never know when he calls you.
@@enthusiasticforchrist Amen to that. 🤗
Amen my heavenly father i love you so much ❤ ♥ 💖 💗 💜 💓 ❤ ♥ 💖 💗 💜 💓 ❤ ♥ 💖 💗 💜 💓 ❤ ♥
Amen to this whole message and romans 5, ephesians 5, acts 4, 2 corinthians 4, 1 john 5 I bind every spirit that hinders or sickens the holy spirit in my life and those surrounding me in the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, hallelujah!
I always run away from that question, but let me it be confronted now, I see I am spiritually dead. But the fact I face it gives me hope, hope for a god not rejecting me, awaiting me pouring out his spirit to me. To receive life, truth love, to resist the ones not beeing in the truth and compromising the gospel either with sin or with legalism and to heal the wounded and to release the imprisoned, amen
The direction of my life... repentance, convicted of sin, love to worship Christ, disciplined unto godliness. Titus 2:11-12
This describes every day of my life since God moved into my life about a month ago! Thank Jesus my cup overflows with every moment

And the thing about Salvation is that we did not deserve it at all! We were DEAD in our sins. But ohhhh thank God for Bis mercy and grace! How rich God is in mercy and grace!!!
We will be filled with the Spirit as we obey Him one step at a time. And we will then stay filled.
Thanks
❤😊
To me, l know. I enjoy so much peace & rest. Always ready to hear his word & always communicating with Him in prayers. Amen.
When convicted the holy spirit brings you the truth and you feel so broken ...i have been broken for the past few months cause when you discover that you where not of God and where not abiding in him and the realization of the sinfulness of sin it over powers you the sword of the spirit , the word of God lights up the darkness and you understand how dark and sinful the flesh is and that God is Sovereign over everything and we are all under sin and children of disobedience, and how we need to all flee to the cross ..and the message of the cross is no longer foolishness, but the power of God to those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18) Lord santify us with truth of your word ..
I could use some prayers. I've been struggling with this and doubt for about a year now. Please pray for my 100 percent assurance of salvation and being a true Christian, or that if not I will be hopefully soon if not one day by God's grace alone. I have a hard time with it being an gift of God all on His own, as well as many verses saying we/individuals are called to "run the race" and strive and persist. It seems to be a harmonious wheel of both feeding each other that I struggle with.
Prayers lifted for you Preston! I will continue to pray for the assurance and joy of the salvation you have received.
Amen brother, me too man I'm in this too
Hey Preston. The only way to truly know is to receive the gift of speaking in tongues.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
It's something that you have to ask for. Read Luke 11:5-13. Persist with prayer until you do. Oh, and you should get baptised by full immersion.
Acts 2:38 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.
Often people speak in tongues right after baptism, but not always so keep persisting. Also find a church that believes in the spiritual gifts and closely follow the word of God. Then you'll truly have the power of God in you.
God bless
Father God, please please open Preston's eyes to your truth, and give him full assurance of Your saving grace. We are saved by faith through grace. You said if we believe in our hearts, and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, we shall be saved. You made it simple Lord. Now help this simple truth make the necessary transformation in Preston's life to allow him to see that he is saved. You have drawn him in, you have given your word. You say Your word is truth! We stand on it alone. By the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony we are overcomers.
In Jesus name
Amen
Alfredo Graciano amén!
His question reminds me of when I was first saved I was praying to God and asking him how do I know I'm saved and I couldn't wrap my mind around having proof and after a while of prayer the Holy Spirit came upon me in a dream and literally told me I was saved. Amen. Praise Lord Jesus.
How long did u pray about it? I'm going through the same thing. Not sure if I'm saved or not.
The answer provided by Pastor John was clear, concise and very useful both to me, and I'm sure to many others in our daily walk with God. Understanding the work of the Holy Spirit and keeping in step with all that God wants to do in us and through us is so important. Thank you also to the person who posed the very relevant question.
This is one of the most lucid, comprehensive and beautiful descriptions of regeneration I've ever heard. Simply beautiful, two thumbs up.
I just started listening to Pastor since yesterday and I really love his answers. A real man of God.
When we believe we are gifted with the Spirit. So gratitude manifests the Spirit of Power in my life. Hunger and thirst for eternal things. From death to Life!! Thank you King Jesus.❤️🙏
This video has answered so many of questions . It brought tears to eyes , the love I have for god is like no other.

It sounds like you've struggled with doubts for a while.
It's actually not our love for God that shows we are saved, but his love for us. He accomplished our salvation on the cross. Let THAT be assurance.
Hope that helps, God bless.
