- Everyone likes to win. It’s fun to win a game or a race. But how do you train for life? How do you train to win at things like marriage, health, or your relationship with God? We’re talking about it in this message.
In Pastor Craig’s new book, The Power to Change, you’ll learn highly practical, biblical, and doable strategies so you can get out of the cycle of trying and transform your life.

What are some differences between “trying” and “training”?
Wonderful message ever
Watching from India
Hello There.
There are two different meanings. And I'm struggling!👋👋👋👋
@@gracechurchtv3883 hola🤩🤩🤩🤩
Run to win
You won't believe it. I saved this video to watch a couple of days ago. I got distracted from this and that and my prayers have been "I am trying, God"
I just started reading the Bible just recently. I started with the New Testament. I literally just got to 1 Corinthians 9 TODAY. Today morning, I got there and I read about Paul, training not trying. It was my prayer in the morning. And later in the day today, after all the distractions, I finally sat down to watch this video.
How more can God convince me that he is ALWAYS speaking to me?
Praise be to God Almighty, Amen.
This is the message I needed to hear.
I'm a Christian who has been trying to overcome Lustful thoughts but always losing.
Now I'm a Christian who is training to serve Jesus today and for the rest of my life.
Amen
@@KevsGuide thank you brother 🙏
I struggle w lustfull thoughts as well. I've been attending Celebrate Recovery (nationwide) to have accountability and encouragement in that area with other addictions and mental health issues. Tomo w God's grace I celebrate 60 days of sexual purity. I'll be praying for you Godswithme! One day at a time...
We want you to know you’re not alone in this fight. If you’re looking to take a step toward quitting this addiction for good, this is a great place to start: finds.life.church/tag/addiction/

@@lynn7348 I’m dealing with the very same things and want you to know that you’re not in this alone. You got it brother! Stay strong and God bless you
Whoever reading this comment, I really hope you find peace and strength to live through the day. Whatever you're going through right now, I promise it'll be okay.
:(
Hello Ayla, we pray that any circumstance you are going through this season, be an opportunity for you to grow in faith and know how valuable you are for Jesus. He will walk with you and guide you.
May you lift up your eyes to the mountains- and see where does your help come from?
Your help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber; Psalm 121:1-2 🙏🌷

Welcome home. You are loved
Thank you so much everyone! 🙂
I’m surrendering my life to Jesus! Amen! ♥️♥️♥️

Jesus is the way, the truth and the light
Sadly, the training can be difficult!👐👐👐
I needed to hear this and so did my son who’s away in the military. He’s homesick and I was struggling to find the words for him. THANK YOU.
If it weren't for training, then you'll lose the game...period!😭😭😭
AMEN!!!❤️🙏
Praying for him Kelly! 🙏
Praying for him 💙
Don't try, just do it. Nothing is stopping you from changing habits but your lack of self control.
My training starts now 🙏🏾 Amen
God Bless You!AMEN!❤️🙏
Hope you're still training.
I surrender my life to Jesus!

It was hard to make a decision. Now I know that I will. From Costa Rica
It’s been a decade of trying and failing constantly and trying to be somebody I am not. It’s been a decade of abusing my body with substances and not respecting my own body that God so gracefully gifted me. My mind body and soul were at war, with no end in sight, No more hope and no more faith in nothing, especially God. I thought it was over at this point for me but then one video that had popped up for me on shuffle while I was driving around during work…
I was breaking down and crying and losing sense of everything… but by some miracle, Jesus heard me cry out his name and brought me to this channel.
Thank you God, for I believed to be forsaken and you showed me again, just like the multitude of times that you were there for me and I rejected you.
Forgive me father God for I am unworthy of your love, but you believed in me regardless and for that I am forever in your service ❤
Thank you so much Pastor Craig ❤❤
Through each video you keep proving why God chose you for this mission ❤
Never again will I try, from now on I am in training to be who God created me to be 🙏🏻
❤️🙏
Run to win 🙏 - We all have to run, so that we can “win” - and the win being, being able to spend the afterlife with Him forever. But the good thing about this race, is that if you Try your hardest and actually put the work into the race, no matter what place you get, you will always win with God 🙏
And to finish well...period!💖💖🤩🤩
God Bless You!❤️AMEN!🙏
I'm wearing a shirt that says "❤2 WIN". Right Now! I'm shook! I must really be in Flow! 👌
Love from Nigeria🇳🇬 Pastor Craig. You’ve been a blessing to me.
God Bless You!❤️🙏AMEN!❤️🙏

I'm not trying, I'm training
So true!!! I'm in training, studying, praying, going to church, tithing, volunteering wherever I am needed. Serving God in whatever way I can.
Is tithing a real thing? I've never tithed but want to try this year bc I'm tired of somehow feeling that money and work are above God. Whenever I'm not working I feel worthless tired and don't have any energy or meaning. Also I'm not even sure if this work is God calling in my life or if he has something better for me? I don't really know any other way to put God above money besides tithing..however I don't have a local church I attend. I've been going to life church bc I can go anytime anyplace.. But many say your tithe needs to go to the local church so it's so very confusing
Yes, God asks that we give our first 10%
Those are all acts of religion. God wants your heart. Walk in the spirit and fight the flesh over outward religious activities. Aka kill sin and walk in righteousness.

GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR CRAIG IM IN TRAINING TO DO BETTER I NEED HELP THOUGH I DO NEED GOD AND I DO GIVE MY LIFE TO HIM 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤✝️✝️
