    I was facing a serious sexual temptation about 45 minutes ago, and I was like God help me. I open up RUclips and see this video immediately. Thank you God!

      If you need to look at a video on youtube to decide what is right and wrong in a decision you are going to make about sex there is something wrong with you, and your way of thinking.

      Fuzzy Wuzzy So what you're saying is that you have never gone through a temptation before? Temptation is something you've already done and you know that it's wrong but your desire to do that can be very overwhelming, especially if you're so used to doing that. When you get saved your desires change but it doesn't mean they won't pay you a visit, so llamasorus got paid a visit and Praise God that she or he didn't fall into sin. I know what she's talking about but I always keep this in mind. What's more important my relationship with God or my desire. How will I feel after I've done it? I've been there and done that, and it's not a road I would want to take again,so as a fellow member of the body of Christ, yes, I agree.

      Brandy Mundy Thank you for your encouraging words. It's great to see the body actually be a body. Although you did build a straw man in the first question you asked and that's something we should try not to do. But hey I needed to hear words like yours again so praise God for that!

    • @fuzzywuzzy1355
      @fuzzywuzzy1355 10 лет назад

      Brandy Mundy I dont need to believe in a bronze aged religion created by people who sacrificed animals and thought the world was flat to know right from wrong. I'm smart enough to know right from wrong and what I'm personally okay with and what I'm not. I dont blame my personal behavior on some outside source trying to "influence" me into doing something other's consider wrong. I'f I do something wrong I take personal responsibility for it, admit my mistakes to myself, learn from it and move. on.

      Try the short parts of the bible combing with long ones, historical with Paul's letters, Psalms and Proverbs with the prophetical ones. The hard one it is the second whole Bible reading. I have followed different approaches. Try a hard one: Professor Horner system. You'll go to read period, not to study. Having this fact as a base I have read it 18 times, keeping a record of this is crucial, try to have a tracking record chart. God bless your attempt.

    God is always pleading at us, to choose Him instead of our sin because He knows that straying away from Him draws us closer to destruction.
    God is a jealous God, indeed, but His jealousy is not selfish. It is a jealousy that looks after us.

    • @lharamae3418
      @lharamae3418 10 лет назад +17

      morning morality you are comparing your jealousy with that of God?? God is jealous because we choose sin over him, because He knows that sin is destruction. that is a very "selfless" jealousy, very unlikely that of us.
      if leaving God means leaving His absolute morality, and it's now legal to kill millions of babies (anyway u believe in evolution, telling u that u are just animals), or practice survival of the fittest, do anything possible to get what u want. no more respect since your happiness and self gratification alone is important,(based on animal instinct). a society with a morality based on their feelings is chaos, its like a government without laws. it cannot stand, u can only watch while it tumbles down. and i can already see it.
      i don't see anything in "better" in this life now that most are turning away from. media can attest to it

      morning morality Hey :) just wanted to chime in and say even though that it may appear that we here in europe generally are doing better without religion, that is far from the truth. Studies show that in sweden, where I live, the amount of teenagers and young adults struggling with mental illnesses, general anxiety, and sleeping proplems has TRIPLED since the begginging of the 90s. Our National board of health and welfare system is falling apart, because they simply don't have enough resources to help everyone by this point. No other country has ever had this big of an increase of young people in poor mental health situations. My source for these statements are the SCB, swedish statistics, where are yours?
      I apoligise for any spelling errors or grammatically incorrect sentences, again, I am from sweden and english isn't my first language :)

Mental illness and drug abuse are at a all time high. More people were killed in the so called enlighten 20th century then in all wars before it combined.

      When a husband flirts with another woman other than his wife, it is totally reasonable and just for the wife to be jealous of that attention. That's the jealousy God feels when we, with our free will, choose to worship idols and gods other than Him. Keep suppressing the truth of Christ because you love your sin and don't want to bow a knee. In the end all your deeds will be brought to the light and your knee will bow. God just give people what they want and most sadly, don't want Him.

    • @jimmyjames6712
      @jimmyjames6712 8 лет назад +2

      Andy LH, i think the Problem is yourself, deal with yourself first and then you can start with extrinsicals. To become a believer is a personal decision not a public opnion, so try to inform yourself about the person of God In Christ Jesus by reading the bible yourself. no one represents the bible , the bible represents itsself. there is a very big diffrence btn christianity and God, those are two very different things!

    • @jimmyjames6712
      @jimmyjames6712 8 лет назад +3

      Andy LH,it is very interesting, that you and me read or read the same book and came out with completly different perceptions and views. It is the Spirit which gives life; the flesh help nothing at all. The words that i have spoken to you are spirit and truth. John 6:63. You can't read the bible like you read your comics, the words are spirit and only understood by spirit. You're like a child who digs a hole on the sea shore and tries to fill the whole sea water into that tiny hole, its impossible! Without the spirit of God, you can never understand any single word in the bible, even the word bread!

    Its sad to scroll down and see that the majority of comments below are from unbelievers who are here to bash Jesus. Even if you are not a believer of Jesus you can still appreciate the golden rule. Treat other how you want to be treated. No religion needed for that one. Please do not come here and make sarcastic and inappropriate comments on here that you would never have the nerve to say to our faces. At least we as Christians accept that we are messed people and we look to Jesus who is a man of integrity rather than being sad about it and hating on unbelievers. If a christian has hated on you in the past, trust me, they weren't a real follower of Christ. Real Christians are joyful and love everyone.

      morning morality seriously? did u try to even do a research about the cause of worldwars? it is because of those "people" who wants to dominate the world, irregardless of the people they hurt/kill. they don't believe the sacredness of life of a human, they think that they are bunch of worthless animals that can be sacrifice for what they think is a "just" cause and for greater "good". isn't this what the materialist/evolution teaches, that humans are not that special, they are just animals?
      And what does the Bible teaches? that men are made in the image of God, and they have sanctity of life and is to be respected.

      First of all, WW1 was started because the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated. Had nothing to do with religion. Secondly, many do vile acts in the NAME of God. Doesn't mean they are OF God. Nazi's weren't Christians. Crusaders weren't Christians. How do I know? Because of what Jesus taught and the Bible. You know a tree by it's fruit. If they were Christian, they would never commit acts that directly violate everything Jesus taught. Men use God's name to justify their own selfish and evil desires. But you don't judge a man based on him SAYING he's a Christian, you judge him by whether he LIVES as Christ did.

[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [20] Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. [21] But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. [22] If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. [23] He that hateth me hateth my Father also. [24] If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. [25] But this cometh to pass , that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

    please.... go find videos that support what you believe and write encouraging supportive posts on those sights. don't spend your time finding something you disagree with and want to make fun of.
    I am relieved to find a minister preaching fresh encouraging stuff, I enjoy listening to him, which is why I look for his sermons on youtube. I make no delusion that this man is without fault and a perfect human being. But I like what he says.
    If you don't like it... if it makes you angry .... if you hate this stuff.... go find something else and be happy elsewhere instead of unhappy and angry here.
    Peace ♥

      god is a computer that only feels unconditional love and this is not an emotion that any human has ever experienced. god is neutural and doesnt care what we do. he just answers our prayers and gives us all what we want. even the murderers and rapist get what they ask for. some people ask for war and power and they all ask and they recieve so it aint what religion says it is. religion is the reason for all the bullshit on this planet.

If you TRUELY believe this without a single doubt this knowledge will take you over and completely flow from you and you'll be the salt of the earth. Why not walk around full of joy because you know nothing on this earth matters or ever will because of jesus' love for you

      Da Boo Thanks. I was an atheist too man. I know what thats all about. But I got one question for you.. How did this all begin? Especially now that we know the higgs boson particle exists, (we proved it earlier this year) and have reverse mapped the gravitational blueprint left behind back to a single point in space smaller than you can imagine. I cant even put that into perspective from something as small as a car expanding from something smaller than I can imagine. Seriously, we know everything that happened in the universes first fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second.
      So before I say what I'm about to say... think about the universes 50,000 (observable) galaxies all expanding from a single point in space... smaller than you can imagine.
      So my question is, why don't we know the fraction before? Maybe because there wasn't something to measure at all, but I don't want to start talking _nonsense_ :) Read and decide for yourself.

Jesus have mercy on me for my wickedness and help me to heal my traumas and wounds. Heal me through your word prayer and love. I'm very mangled and my soul is broken. Please all the friends below please pray for me. My name is Andrew Kerr I'm 26 and formerly was bisexual, involved in the occult, stealing compulsively and a whole bunch of other things, addicted to heroin cocaine and benzos (pretty much everything at one point) and did lots of horrible things and hurt lots of people. My sin has opened doors and now I'm bound and oppressed spiritually. I need a special type of grace to break free from these spirits and to know Jesus more and heal. And to be delivered from my sins.

And now he has decided he's bi and wants to be a woman and have an open relationship. He's like totally an opposite of what we started as. It took the ground out from under my feet and I don't think I've recovered yet. We are still married and he has 'chosen me' so to speak. But his thoughts a d desires haven't changed back and I'm strugglin A lot to follow Jesus still. I just need a lot of prayer please, anyone who reads this.

      Sorry you're going through this. It's nice he was honest and told you. Most people just wait to get caught. I have constantly dealt with my wife being unfaithful. After 15 years of no change. I decided to join the club + run to alcohol. It got to the point I was drinking all day. Every day. I almost died a few time's. Ended up in detox and found myself in the middle of the 12 step walk loop on my knees crying my eye's out apologizing to God for what I have done. Really just feeling like a looser. Not even 5 min later the Holy spirit filled my body with the love of God. There are no words to describe this feeling. I have learned from sermons we are supposed to surround ourselves with people that will strengthen our faith and help us draw closer to God. To rid ourselves of those who don't. I have decided to keep my eye's on God. I will no longer continue a relationship where God is not #1. She is aware and her faith is slowly growing. If it ever stops growing I will be getting that divorce. We will see how it goes in the next year. I know God's plan for us is greater than we can imagine. God is real and we should always always always run to him. Its normal to have some doubts but please keep your eyes focused on him. He loves you so very much. We love you. Keep praying and we all will pray for you both.
