Stay in Faith and Fellowship with God. Confess sin struggles and asks for strength, so you can draw closer to GOD. Psalms 32:5 "I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah "
Thanks for this timely message. I'm currently in this space concerning my relationship with God. I must take responsibility for that disconnect because of my sinful behavior. God hasn't abandoned me. I've turned my back on him.
But remember we as ppl do at times turn our back on GOD but LORD JESUS has not turned HIS back on us . His hand of love and mercy is still open . Put your condemnation on the cross and just step right back. His love awaits us all.
Big amen on these. When my husband died suddenly I was in the midst of a season of testing that became profoundly deepend with the addition of the Covid lock down. Every part of me crying to God without a palpable response or word from Him. YET I knew HE was there and those very Scripture you read became the foundation of truth I clung to as a Christian. HIS truth is powerful. It was literally all I had to cling to and lean on and in tears I'd pray those verses back to God in faith believing they were true. 18 months later God brought me to a house church where I am loved and being restored in strength. God uses all things for our good and for HIS glory. Praise Him! I share this in hopes anyone who may need to hear this testimony will be encouraged to hold on.
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I lost my Dad on December 1 and my Mom had a stroke December 20. I, too, felt lost. I'm glad you are in a better place, as am I.
Man, I just praise God right now. I literally asked God why He has allowed me to be in the bind I am in for so long, just this morning. This is the second video today (in just 4 hours) that God has allowed someone to release a new video that has encouraged me. Hallelujah!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
No, not necessarily true. That is not a promise to Christians. We can quote scripture until the cows come home but unless it manifests into everyday life with something that changes our circumstances then its only words..
@@davidmcclatchey2133 There are some general promisses in the Bible; general principles, if you will. God's sovereignity may or may not allow some to apply to your life. You can have two chidlren; instruct them both in the path of the Lord. The geberal principle says they should follow Him. Reality is: one may choose to reject Him. You can be a saint and suffer your entire life like Job. Verses out of context are a bane of modern Christianity. The cost of following Christ can be immesurable. Still, lower than turning your back on Him.
@@szilardfineascovasa6144 I very much agree with scripture being taken out of context and applied to areas of life it was never meant for. I believe it dies a great deal of harm with Christians having expectations of God that He never promised then being disenfranchised of Christianity. A lot of preachers don't seem to understand that they are giving people a false hope..
As the spirit led you please bring more like these. It has been a very dark week for me. Couldn't find sleep, failed to pray, so depressed and this comes up. God is good.
This was sooooo needed for me. He is an on-time God. I've been feeling this way for months now. I was getting really scared and questioning if I was truly His, but praise be to God that you post this video. God bless you and your family. And thank you.
I’m at a what is deemed a good place in my life, I’ve obtained my degree, got a new job & moved into a new city but there’s a void, I’m quickly disconnecting from God and it’s so strange because I should be the most grateful & happy rn.
Keep persevering and enduring in Christ who strengthens us. James 1:1-5 "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
Thanks. I would encourage you to continue this type of video. Too many teachers both off & online seem to think the scriptures are not relevant in our times & appear to post based on worldly wisdom. Getting our focus back on God through his word always works
Wow the tears started coming out fast as soon as you gave the verse about him keeping our tears. I really needed this tonight. You said everything I needed to hear. Thank you so much, you have helped me so much lately I’m so glad I found your channel, you’re a blessing.
Great message. I once lived and breathed god's word but at some point got caught up in worldly temptations and have lived selfishly since then. I have tried many times to get right with God but when you said "One foot in the world One foot out". That's me. Been struggling with it for a long time. It's so difficult. I haven't felt God's presence in so long and I miss it but it's so difficult to focus and to desire god when there are so many things competing for my attention. You made alot of great points. I will ponder on them and those verses today. Hopefully my heart can find its way back to God and be on fire for God, his word, and his plan instead of my own
You are so beloved to the Father. It's His Glory when u receive 4giveness cuz if His Holy Blood! It is finished! It's good u have conscience! Whatever bothers/ TORMENTS you IS NOT FROM YOU!! dance and praise with me! Put the devil under your feet! Me too! You will feel that thing break off as you praise believe me. the devil used to be the worship leader remember? The last thing he wants is for you to realize and understand you have authority over him and you are free because of the blood of the lamb. I'm praying with you
jesus said ,come unto me all ye that labour,and are heavyladen,and l will give you rest unto your souls ,take my yoke(the teachings the father gave him to teach us in the gospels ,upon you and learn of me, for my yoke is easy and my burdens are light, matt 11chap,28thru30,verses,
Thanks Allen, been going through a rough season where it seems to be a void inside of me and i can't even feel God's love, but as my pastor and friends told me “The righteous shall live by faith.”. In Christ Alone we Trust
you aren’t i am as well and i’ve been here a long time and ive been filled with so much anxiety and terror and ive been paralyzed with fear on what i need/want/should do. i keep on getting confused on where i should be and then past sins keep coming to me and i feel more and more guilty and hopeless and hearing the good things makes me scared as strange as that sounds. ive spiraled into so much thoughts and feelings to the point where i even wonder if i really was God’s at all especially because of my sins i foolishly continue to commit. all i want is to know the truth and being relatively young its scary and hard. but i just went off on a tangent but you’re not alone
@@thedidster4547 The fact that you feel guilty about your sins shows that you have conviction, that is the Holy Spirit working within you. If you didn't care about God or you didn't really love him you wouldn't feel any guilt at all. This guilt shows that you desire God and you are ashamed to disappoint him, so try not to worry about whether or not you're saved. Keep praying and talking with God, he is always there for you, through the good and the bad.
*Thank you Brother! Yesterday,I don't know - I wanted to go back to my God but God made a way! My Bible app notified me and after I launch it,I saw passage and verses that sbout Faith,Temptation and God's loyalty and eternal love. And I was so SHOCKED!! God really meant me to open that app and He miraculously works in that. I was so amazed. Although I got to experience God's power since I was a kid but right now that I am little bit away from Him,He really cares about me. God loves me - and I feel so bad,I feel like I failed God.. but Nope,He still love me always and that's great. I wished I could die peacefully right now, Because I want to see God himself.. and I really exhausted from this life. All I want is God,and I am WILLING to Die or Vanish at any point just to go to him.. My life is s big big sinful mess*
This video really blessed me especially since I felt distant and was struggling to read the word or pray. I have a few suggestions that I believe will bless others. Top 7 verses for when you are grieving, anxious/scared, feel stuck, hopeless, confused, struggling with lust, backsliding and feeling exhausted. God bless ❤️
God bless you brother. May the Lord return quickly! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!
What? Somebody wants to use their faith to make money on RUclips. You should have no problem finding plenty of desperate and gullible people to exploit around here.
God is Not merciful. Remember he as killed millions of innocent people before the big flood. Millions of people in the big flood. And millions of innocent people after the big flood. 🤷♂️⚛
@@NickNova369 IF you read your bible, which you didn't, you would see the flood was a punishment for the wickedness of the world. The wicked people of this world today deserve the same punishment, but God's mercy will spare them.
@@tmilesffl which part do you get? your Lord Yahweh/entity god for millennium is been killing millions of humans. You asked me to read the Bible LOL where do you think I got my information from. Also the Bible says that Satan he only killed seven people that's a big difference. 🤷♂️⚛
Thank you Allen Parr. That video speaks of my life now. When my dear wife passed away from Covid in the spring of 2020, I felt super close to God. I experienced Him in a way I never had before. It will soon be two years since the love of my life went Home to be with the Lord, but no I feel empty and distant from God. Perhaps it's because I have not yet found closure. At that time during the pandemic, there were no funerals or burials, and my wife's passing was sudden. I took her to her doctor's appointment, but was asked by security to wait outside. The routine doctor's visit turned into a trip to the emergency room, where she was admitted shortly after. She texted me and told me to go home, and that as soon as she was discharged, she would bake a pie for our wedding anniversary, which was just a few days off. Long story short, she stopped texting me, and the doctor called me shortly after to inform me of her passing. I suppose the emptiness I feel stems from not being able to visit her while she was hospitalized, and then not ever seeing her face again after I had dropped her off to see the doctor. No funeral and no burial has meant there was never closure, and now a strange disconnection from God. But as I read the scriptures you offered on the video, I know for certain God is still near me, just as He was the first year of my greatest sorrow. Again, thanks for the video, Allen.
Praise God for this wonderful message! I so needed this, Brother Allen! I've honestly been slipping back into old sins, and been feeling more distant from God as a result. I've repented, but I still feel that disconnect. Any and all prayers are deeply appreciated!
Thank you for these verses to hold in our hearts when “our feelings” deceive us into believing God is distant. Keep the “7 verses” coming. My daughter would benefit from verses to help her combat her feelings of anxiety. Much love and gratitude Brother Allen❤️🙏🏼
Yes, please. The thing I think people search for the most are for scriptures for 1) when we are lonely 2) to help us when others are heartless or want us to respond in ungodly ways and 3) when we face difficult decisions that we feel like either way, the outcome is going to be bad, very unfavorable or unavoidable for us to act. Over the years, I've been blessed to see how God steps in but before learning to trust Him AND seek Him... I'd fight my own battles and exhaust myself to no end... sometimes make matters far worse! Now that I search for God's word, I find myself wishing you had videos that are specifically highlighted in the title and teaching on these things in scripture because your words and teaching sticks. I have lucked up (been blessed) to find a lot of your videos that cover these things within them too though! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with the world. May God continue to bless you abundantly. Amen
Man o man. Just the right time for this message. When I start to feel disconnected from God, most of the time it's because I quit reading the Bible or quit praying. I wash myself with the world and not the word
This video is proof God is listening to me. Ive been through a season that has made me feel like im close to the breaking point. And i know its because of my sins that I am dealing with this. And as the situation got worse and worse, i found myself calling out to God more and more but never feeling like he was listening. So I stopped complaining and started thanking God for i know there is a reason why this is happening whether i see the bigger picture or not. I went through my phone earlier today and found on my notepad app a bible quote that i had saved a long time ago. It read; "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." John 13:7 NIV That was my first sign that God was calling out to me and letting me know i am not alone in this and that he's with me despite my doubts. The second sign is this video, and it's proof (for me) that God is reassuring me that im not alone and that he's here for me. And i know Its definitely him because i dont really watch christian video essays on here. My youtube is usually relegated to geek/nerd fandom. Yet somehow this video shows up on my suggestions list. I know now more than ever that God never abandoned me. It was i who abandoned him. And he's calling me back. With all my transgressions against him, he still loves me and i see that now more than ever.
Thanks Allen, I just went through this 2 weeks ago and like you said I didn't know what to pray for and in fact I was feeling like I wasn't allowing God to live through me and what good am I, but what I figured out was I wasn't studying The Word of God so I didn't have anything to share with anyone and I have to remember it's not about me and my feelings for its all about Glorifying God so I must study and go out to share The Word with others
Thank you for these scriptures. This is how I have been feeling all week and I don't like this feeling. So much is going on, and every time I tried to get in my word someone is calling me. Thank you for the word of encouragement. Maybe you can do one about knowing who you are and walking in that direction.
Yes, please, Allen! I worry that my relationship with Christ isn’t close enough in order for Him to take me to heaven even though I praise Him, thank him and ask for help in that category.
Tears...literally. You have absolutely no idea how much this encouraged me....It truly came upon my feed at the right time. THANK YOU. Maybe consider topics like depression, anxiety, fear, rejection, needing friends.
#3 I forgot all about that!!! All week or so I've been telling myself I ruined my whole life and eternity. Good word, no wonder I felt like I was sitting and receiving no word from the Lord.
I felt this way this morning and was questioning God as to why it seems like he is not there answering my prayers. Then this message came up, probably as an answer to prayer.
THANK YOU!!! 🥰❤️✝️ My nephew is distraught right now, feeling far away from God because of his sin. THIS is exactly what he needs. Thank you for letting God work his miracles through you. May God continue to bless your ministry! LOVE BOLDLY! 🥰❤️✝️
So needed. Been in a time of not finding Him. It's like I felt my heart say "Where is my Jesus?!" ..I cried. I'm trying to trust He hasn't moved. But now I'm wondering if I did something wrong. Please pray for me.
I needed this so much. I've recently fallen back into sin that God has freed me from. The weight of it has been crushing me. I've repented and pleaded with God to not allow my transgressions to hurt others. Even with doing that, I feel so distant and anxious. Thank you, Brother Allen for this video. Hearing that last Psalm really shifted something. God bless you and your ministry. God bless all those seeking the Lord. Keep me in prayer please. Love y'all.
Please pray for me, I’ve currently been injured as an athlete and it’s my senior year of high school. I have always been a man of God and I’ve followed Jesus since the beginning of this school year. I really don’t wanna sit out my senior year please pray for me 🙏✝️
Brother Allen, this ministry of yours continues to be a blessing in my life. Thank you for this well needed reminder of who God is and what is true of me because of what Christ has done. May God bless you.
So thankful you uploaded this, as it relates to; last week I went through a horrible baby huntsman spiders outbreak in my room, hundreds of them 😭. Huntsman spider's are my worst debilitating fear. I freaked out and shed some tears and didn't sleep till the sun started rising. During the night I prayed to God asking that He get rid of them and stop them from coming in. He didn't answer that prayer. And I felt miserable for two nights. I started to doubt myself and think He hated me, and that I've not been good enough. And whatever other self-hate I said about myself. After I covered up the cracks on the third day, in the skirting boards, I hardly saw any. And even though God didn't answer my specific request; I see that He got me through it and I focused more on Him in my time of need. I still am severely fearful of the hunstams... But, I know now I can overcome baby hunstmans and if there is a next time; I am comforted that I won't be as panicked and that God is there with me!!! Also a lot of times; when I think that He is being distant... Is in fact, I'm most likely the one that's actually being distant.
3 million children die in the world every year from lack of basic nutrition. They literally starve to death. A long slow painful process. No deity cares about you or your baby spider problem. These mythology peddlers want your tithes and offerings, youtube views, sell you their books to explain a nonexistent God. All for their own benefit, not yours.
@@paulallen7962 The reason why people die from a lack of nutrition, or starvation... Is the fault of us not doing enough to help those in need. God has given us more than enough recourses to feed the whole world. God (who is very real), He has made Himself known in many ways. He is not to blame, for all the bad in the world, it is our doing.
Thank you for uploading this. I just saw the upload tonight. Basically, you uploaded this 2-3 hours after a very bad anxiety attack. I’ve been under attack in my thoughts by the enemy for the past 2 weeks. I finally got baptized after years of delaying (3 weeks ago), and the enemy has attacked me with the fear of the unforgivable sin by whispering blasphemies in my ear over and over and over again in my sleep, while I’m around people, while I’m alone. There’s not been 15 minutes of peace without these strong attacks and anxiety. I was angry with God this morning and doubted His love for me and asked Him if He cared about my suffering. I’m trying to learn to take thoughts captive, but it’s extremely challenging when I’m afraid of a single thought disqualifying me from being saved. It’s been torture. Once again, thank you for this video. Some of the verses you shared spoke to me, especially Romans 8:38-39. My friend at my church shares that same verse with me the night I was baptized
Im going to keep it real Bro Allen Im the son of a preacher man, but im a wild man, dipping and dapping into things i know are wrong but keep doing anyway I know God hasnt gave up on me but i gave up on my self I need prayer for obedience and a hunger for scripture Im scared that God will eventually give up on me its so so much going through my head God is always looking out for me and i wont deny it Yet i continue to disobey so please please keep me in prayer so i can get it together and get back on track again Much love from Jersey keep on keeping on spreading the word my brother
This type of encouragement is desperately needed with all of the negative influences that exist in our society today. It was also a blessing to have you worship with us last Sunday! So proud of the deaconess!! 🙏🏾❤️
What an encouragement! Thank you, Allen Parr! I’d like to share with y’all some insight that a pastor once taught about Ps. 103:12. Why not “As far as the north is from the south”? Well, you can travel up north to the end ( North Pole), but then you are heading south. The North and South poles have definite points; they touch, so to speak. But there is no East or West poles, they NEVER MEET nor touch. So GOD removes our sins as far as the East is from the west means He removes them and they cannot touch (us) again. Isn’t that amazing, GOD’s attention to detail and His great love for us?!! Praise the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
This was great! Maybe top 7 verses for healing, top 7 for forgiving others, and top 7 for being grateful 😇 thanks brother Allen, keep up the good work!!
Thank you I know it has been said multiple times. Yet in obedience I had to testify that YAH had you to do this during this time. I myself and many of those surrounding me have been hit with a season of trials lately. I believe this is a strategic attack to break us down and for us to feel as if we are losing the battle. This simple but not so simple reminder was just another spiritual witness for those going through trials to hold on. The Word says if one part of the body is rejoicing then the body rejoices together and if we are weeping we weep together[paraphrase]. Yet I believe this is a place where many members are in this season. So thanks for the obedience of hearing 👂God remind us to hold on. Blessings, Love, & Peace be multiplied for the channel and your family.🌬🕊🙏
I am so glad God led me to this video. I was just giving my friend words of encouragement and she was expressing feeling distant. I will surely pass this along.
This hit home for sure! I am going through a separation but I know for a fact that God will not allow anything on earth to separate what he has joined together. That being said, I know what I previously mentioned is true, but... My separation has me feeling like I distanced myself from God. I think there should be a video #2 about this topic. Thank you!
God's word really is sweeter than honey, like living waters... I am so thankful that God has led you to make this video Allen, every single verse was talking to me as I am battling some time that I have been feeling disconnected as if left on my own?? (i don't know how to best explain it...) so I waited and waited on God to bring freshness and refreshment to my heart, mind and soul... and here your video!! God is good, wonderful and His mercies neverend... I wonder if we are going to ever fully understand His fullness... what do you think Allen? will we? In the meantime I thank Him for I cannot escape His love! I love these videos too Allen, it is God's word and I've always found you easy to understand, so it would be great if more of these could be made. I am thinking about subjects that we don't hear much of in church, but are a reality in many believer's lives too. Like depression, anxiety, loneliness.... I remember once sharing something about one of this subjects mentioned and I was straight off told "A heart that has Jesus cannot be sad!!" which brought doubts as to whether I had Jesus or not in my heart... not comforting at all! Wholeheartedly thank you Allen! :)
6:35 I wish that was true. In my case I'm close to being an atheist since I know I'll never feel any comfort and love from God and not FROM MYSELF. There's times where I prayed for love and comfort from God, times when I needed him the most cause I have no one and nothing happened... Things got worse and I got worse. I read the Bible a few times and listen to good pastors like you on RUclips and all it's done is made me pissed and upset. Because at least the people SAW Jesus, HEARD his voice, SAW his performan miracles and yet we will never. I don't want to rely on MY feelings since how do I know it's not MYSELF trying to comfort MYSELF whenever I pray to God? Over the years I didn't have a choice but to hide and bottle my emotions from others and now I have PSTD, Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia because of my past. You know how every person has needs and wants. Well I just NEED something to hear and/or from God, to know 1 Million Percent that it is from God and not myself trying to comfort MYSELF.
Levera Heart please know that I will be praying for you. God is there I can assure u...not sure what advice I can give you apart from inviting Him into your space and be willing to surrender. Happy to keep in touch...
Thank u so much for this mr Parr I needed to hear this. I sometimes forget how unconditional God's love is and he promised that he will never leave or forsake us.
Thank you Pastor Allen. This was definitely needed. I have been struggling with reading my Bible recently. I’ve also been feeling distant from God in this season. It can be hard to remind myself that he is near no matter my circumstances. But it’s just something that I need to work through. Appreciate what you do and that you always stick to the Word!
Hi Allen. I really needed this video. I have been battling for months with feeling I am disconnected from God. The verses are great, but what you said was like you were talking about me. Thank you.
Thanks brother Allen! I love watching your videos because they are huge blessings and help me get closer to Jesus as well as beat doubt! Thank God for you Allen!
Yes 🙏🏿🙏🏿. 7 verses on healing please. My mum is currently on end of life treatment for cancer. I can’t give up on her though. Even at this stage we’re praying for a miracle. 🙏🏿🙏🏿💔
Two thumbs way up! These scriptures are really needed in the world right now because there are so many who have become discouraged and distant from Our Lord and Savior.
Hey BEAT family! I pray this video encourages someone today. Hold on my brother or sister! God is near.
Amen! ❤️🕊
Please pray for me.
I wasn't even feeling distant from God, but just reading Psalms 103:8-12 warmed my heart and made me feel so much so closer to God.
Stay in Faith and Fellowship with God. Confess sin struggles and asks for strength, so you can draw closer to GOD.
Psalms 32:5
"I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah "
Thank you for this man❤️
Thanks for this timely message. I'm currently in this space concerning my relationship with God. I must take responsibility for that disconnect because of my sinful behavior. God hasn't abandoned me. I've turned my back on him.
Amen brother. Same man I need to turn back to him.
But remember we as ppl do at times turn our back on GOD but LORD JESUS has not turned HIS back on us . His hand of love and mercy is still open . Put your condemnation on the cross and just step right back. His love awaits us all.
Same. I'm struggling to turn to him right now. Please pray for me :,)

This is an encouraging testimony about holding on to Jesus. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry that your husband passed away.
Thank u God even uses us in our weakness. Thank you for your testimony encourages me to go on! Condolences sorry for your loss🙏🏼💪💙
Thank you so much God bless you sister. I needed this.
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I lost my Dad on December 1 and my Mom had a stroke December 20. I, too, felt lost. I'm glad you are in a better place, as am I.
More videos like this! No better content than scripture
Man, I just praise God right now. I literally asked God why He has allowed me to be in the bind I am in for so long, just this morning. This is the second video today (in just 4 hours) that God has allowed someone to release a new video that has encouraged me. Hallelujah!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This was sooooo needed for me. He is an on-time God. I've been feeling this way for months now. I was getting really scared and questioning if I was truly His, but praise be to God that you post this video.
God bless you and your family. And thank you.
I’m at a what is deemed a good place in my life, I’ve obtained my degree, got a new job & moved into a new city but there’s a void, I’m quickly disconnecting from God and it’s so strange because I should be the most grateful & happy rn.
Sounds like to me you're just adapting to new changes. God is with you always.❤️
Keep persevering and enduring in Christ who strengthens us.
James 1:1-5
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
Thanks. I would encourage you to continue this type of video. Too many teachers both off & online seem to think the scriptures are not relevant in our times & appear to post based on worldly wisdom. Getting our focus back on God through his word always works
Amen!
Wow the tears started coming out fast as soon as you gave the verse about him keeping our tears. I really needed this tonight. You said everything I needed to hear. Thank you so much, you have helped me so much lately I’m so glad I found your channel, you’re a blessing.
Great message. I once lived and breathed god's word but at some point got caught up in worldly temptations and have lived selfishly since then. I have tried many times to get right with God but when you said "One foot in the world One foot out". That's me. Been struggling with it for a long time. It's so difficult. I haven't felt God's presence in so long and I miss it but it's so difficult to focus and to desire god when there are so many things competing for my attention. You made alot of great points. I will ponder on them and those verses today. Hopefully my heart can find its way back to God and be on fire for God, his word, and his plan instead of my own
You are so beloved to the Father. It's His Glory when u receive 4giveness cuz if His Holy Blood! It is finished!
It's good u have conscience! Whatever bothers/ TORMENTS you IS NOT FROM YOU!!
dance and praise with me! Put the devil under your feet! Me too!
You will feel that thing break off as you praise believe me. the devil used to be the worship leader remember?
The last thing he wants is for you to realize and understand you have authority over him and you are free because of the blood of the lamb. I'm praying with you
jesus said ,come unto me all ye that labour,and are heavyladen,and l will give you rest unto your souls ,take my yoke(the teachings the father gave him to teach us in the gospels ,upon you and learn of me, for my yoke is easy and my burdens are light, matt 11chap,28thru30,verses,

@@brystoncollins5416 lm great, and always about my father's business,
Father may you draw near to us as we draw near to you in Jesus name amen 🙏
Thanks Allen, been going through a rough season where it seems to be a void inside of me and i can't even feel God's love, but as my pastor and friends told me “The righteous shall live by faith.”. In Christ Alone we Trust
Thank you for doing the Lord's work. God bless you.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who needed this. Thank you, and God bless you.
you aren’t
i am as well and i’ve been here a long time and ive been filled with so much anxiety and terror and ive been paralyzed with fear on what i need/want/should do.
i keep on getting confused on where i should be and then past sins keep coming to me and i feel more and more guilty and hopeless and hearing the good things makes me scared as strange as that sounds. ive spiraled into so much thoughts and feelings to the point where i even wonder if i really was God’s at all especially because of my sins i foolishly continue to commit.
all i want is to know the truth and being relatively young its scary and hard.
but i just went off on a tangent but you’re not alone
@@thedidster4547 The fact that you feel guilty about your sins shows that you have conviction, that is the Holy Spirit working within you. If you didn't care about God or you didn't really love him you wouldn't feel any guilt at all. This guilt shows that you desire God and you are ashamed to disappoint him, so try not to worry about whether or not you're saved. Keep praying and talking with God, he is always there for you, through the good and the bad.
*Thank you Brother! Yesterday,I don't know - I wanted to go back to my God but God made a way! My Bible app notified me and after I launch it,I saw passage and verses that sbout Faith,Temptation and God's loyalty and eternal love. And I was so SHOCKED!! God really meant me to open that app and He miraculously works in that. I was so amazed. Although I got to experience God's power since I was a kid but right now that I am little bit away from Him,He really cares about me. God loves me - and I feel so bad,I feel like I failed God.. but Nope,He still love me always and that's great. I wished I could die peacefully right now, Because I want to see God himself.. and I really exhausted from this life. All I want is God,and I am WILLING to Die or Vanish at any point just to go to him.. My life is s big big sinful mess*
Keep the "Top 7 Verses" coming! I love it. Great video today
I’m freaking out because I’m mid way through the video and it’s like God is talking to me that’s crazyyy God bless you Allen 🙏🏽
It made me cry, thank you for making this video Pastor Allen Parr. It really helps me know God more and know how deep God's love for me. Thank you.
This video really blessed me especially since I felt distant and was struggling to read the word or pray. I have a few suggestions that I believe will bless others. Top 7 verses for when you are grieving, anxious/scared, feel stuck, hopeless, confused, struggling with lust, backsliding and feeling exhausted. God bless ❤️
God bless you brother. May the Lord return quickly! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!
What? Somebody wants to use their faith to make money on RUclips. You should have no problem finding plenty of desperate and gullible people to exploit around here.
God is Not merciful. Remember he as killed millions of innocent people before the big flood. Millions of people in the big flood. And millions of innocent people after the big flood. 🤷♂️⚛

@@NickNova369 IF you read your bible, which you didn't, you would see the flood was a punishment for the wickedness of the world. The wicked people of this world today deserve the same punishment, but God's mercy will spare them.

your Lord Yahweh/entity god for millennium is been killing millions of humans.
You asked me to read the Bible LOL where do you think I got my information from. Also the Bible says that Satan he only killed seven people that's a big difference. 🤷♂️⚛
Amen! Thank you God for being so loving.
Thank you Allen Parr. That video speaks of my life now. When my dear wife passed away from Covid in the spring of 2020, I felt super close to God. I experienced Him in a way I never had before. It will soon be two years since the love of my life went Home to be with the Lord, but no I feel empty and distant from God. Perhaps it's because I have not yet found closure. At that time during the pandemic, there were no funerals or burials, and my wife's passing was sudden. I took her to her doctor's appointment, but was asked by security to wait outside. The routine doctor's visit turned into a trip to the emergency room, where she was admitted shortly after. She texted me and told me to go home, and that as soon as she was discharged, she would bake a pie for our wedding anniversary, which was just a few days off. Long story short, she stopped texting me, and the doctor called me shortly after to inform me of her passing. I suppose the emptiness I feel stems from not being able to visit her while she was hospitalized, and then not ever seeing her face again after I had dropped her off to see the doctor. No funeral and no burial has meant there was never closure, and now a strange disconnection from God. But as I read the scriptures you offered on the video, I know for certain God is still near me, just as He was the first year of my greatest sorrow. Again, thanks for the video, Allen.
Praise God for this wonderful message! I so needed this, Brother Allen! I've honestly been slipping back into old sins, and been feeling more distant from God as a result. I've repented, but I still feel that disconnect. Any and all prayers are deeply appreciated!
You da man! Appreciate ya
Thank you for these verses to hold in our hearts when “our feelings” deceive us into believing God is distant. Keep the “7 verses” coming. My daughter would benefit from verses to help her combat her feelings of anxiety. Much love and gratitude Brother Allen❤️🙏🏼
Thank you for these scriptures. I needed them. Thank you for the reminder that the Holy Spirit and Jesus are interceding for me.
Don’t fear death if your always thinking of being saved and feel guilty of stuff you did in the past you’re on the right road
Yes, please. The thing I think people search for the most are for scriptures for 1) when we are lonely 2) to help us when others are heartless or want us to respond in ungodly ways and 3) when we face difficult decisions that we feel like either way, the outcome is going to be bad, very unfavorable or unavoidable for us to act.
Over the years, I've been blessed to see how God steps in but before learning to trust Him AND seek Him... I'd fight my own battles and exhaust myself to no end... sometimes make matters far worse!
Now that I search for God's word, I find myself wishing you had videos that are specifically highlighted in the title and teaching on these things in scripture because your words and teaching sticks. I have lucked up (been blessed) to find a lot of your videos that cover these things within them too though! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with the world. May God continue to bless you abundantly. Amen
Allen i needed this man. Been feeling down and far from God, though I think about him so much throughout the day I often do not feel close to him.
I smiled as soon as. I saw this title, such a timely message for me. Thank you Allen!
Man o man. Just the right time for this message. When I start to feel disconnected from God, most of the time it's because I quit reading the Bible or quit praying. I wash myself with the world and not the word
PLEASE. Make this a series.
Ayye, first one to see this! Good stuff keep it up Mr. Parr
so weird cause i have been feeling disconnected lately; this video came right on time and i appreciate it.
Psalm 34 confirmation ❤️❤️ Glory to God Jesus led me here 🌏🍷❤️🩸🔥🗡🐑👑
This video is proof God is listening to me.
Ive been through a season that has made me feel like im close to the breaking point. And i know its because of my sins that I am dealing with this.
And as the situation got worse and worse, i found myself calling out to God more and more but never feeling like he was listening. So I stopped complaining and started thanking God for i know there is a reason why this is happening whether i see the bigger picture or not.
I went through my phone earlier today and found on my notepad app a bible quote that i had saved a long time ago. It read; "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." John 13:7 NIV
That was my first sign that God was calling out to me and letting me know i am not alone in this and that he's with me despite my doubts.
The second sign is this video, and it's proof (for me) that God is reassuring me that im not alone and that he's here for me.
And i know Its definitely him because i dont really watch christian video essays on here. My youtube is usually relegated to geek/nerd fandom. Yet somehow this video shows up on my suggestions list.
I know now more than ever that God never abandoned me. It was i who abandoned him. And he's calling me back. With all my transgressions against him, he still loves me and i see that now more than ever.
Thanks Allen, I just went through this 2 weeks ago and like you said I didn't know what to pray for and in fact I was feeling like I wasn't allowing God to live through me and what good am I, but what I figured out was I wasn't studying The Word of God so I didn't have anything to share with anyone and I have to remember it's not about me and my feelings for its all about Glorifying God so I must study and go out to share The Word with others
Thank you for these scriptures. This is how I have been feeling all week and I don't like this feeling. So much is going on, and every time I tried to get in my word someone is calling me. Thank you for the word of encouragement. Maybe you can do one about knowing who you are and walking in that direction.
Thank you, I needed this❤️
Yes, please, Allen! I worry that my relationship with Christ isn’t close enough in order for Him to take me to heaven even though I praise Him, thank him and ask for help in that category.
Tears...literally. You have absolutely no idea how much this encouraged me....It truly came upon my feed at the right time. THANK YOU. Maybe consider topics like depression, anxiety, fear, rejection, needing friends.
Thank you brother, am blessed by this sermon Uganda loves you
#3
I forgot all about that!!! All week or so I've been telling myself I ruined my whole life and eternity. Good word, no wonder I felt like I was sitting and receiving no word from the Lord.
Amen 🙏🏾 I needed this. I want to be connect to my Heavenly Father
I felt this way this morning and was questioning God as to why it seems like he is not there answering my prayers. Then this message came up, probably as an answer to prayer.
THANK YOU!!! 🥰❤️✝️ My nephew is distraught right now, feeling far away from God because of his sin. THIS is exactly what he needs. Thank you for letting God work his miracles through you. May God continue to bless your ministry! LOVE BOLDLY! 🥰❤️✝️
7:22 you said brother Allen! We don't like to admit it but sin SEPARATES us from God!
So needed. Been in a time of not finding Him. It's like I felt my heart say "Where is my Jesus?!" ..I cried. I'm trying to trust He hasn't moved. But now I'm wondering if I did something wrong. Please pray for me.
Please do more of these! May God continue to bless you abundantly
Hallelujah!
Thank you Sir! I wrote these down. Please do more!
God you are so Good!!! Thank you using this message to encourage me and confirm your presence and my position! Great is your faithfulness!
I needed this so much. I've recently fallen back into sin that God has freed me from. The weight of it has been crushing me. I've repented and pleaded with God to not allow my transgressions to hurt others. Even with doing that, I feel so distant and anxious. Thank you, Brother Allen for this video. Hearing that last Psalm really shifted something. God bless you and your ministry. God bless all those seeking the Lord. Keep me in prayer please. Love y'all.
Yes, continue "top 7 verses" suggestion: top 7 verses when you're afraid.
Right on time. I just told my friend two days ago I felt empty from being distant from God.
*Please make more videos like this . Upon hearing this,I filled with light again*
I can't say thank you enough. I've been feeling so broken and couldn't put it into words.
Thank you Allen parr for letting God use you for the platform and your talent, thank you Jesus for this message I needed this.
Please pray for me, I’ve currently been injured as an athlete and it’s my senior year of high school. I have always been a man of God and I’ve followed Jesus since the beginning of this school year. I really don’t wanna sit out my senior year please pray for me 🙏✝️
God sent this my way
Brother Allen, this ministry of yours continues to be a blessing in my life. Thank you for this well needed reminder of who God is and what is true of me because of what Christ has done.
May God bless you.
Top seven verses when you are depressed/anxious/battling ocd would be very very helpful.
Great idea!
Thank you for this video brother Allen! This was a big encouragement in this stressful season of life that I'm in. Praise God!
Matthew 11:30
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
So thankful you uploaded this, as it relates to; last week I went through a horrible baby huntsman spiders outbreak in my room, hundreds of them 😭. Huntsman spider's are my worst debilitating fear. I freaked out and shed some tears and didn't sleep till the sun started rising. During the night I prayed to God asking that He get rid of them and stop them from coming in. He didn't answer that prayer. And I felt miserable for two nights.
I started to doubt myself and think He hated me, and that I've not been good enough. And whatever other self-hate I said about myself. After I covered up the cracks on the third day, in the skirting boards, I hardly saw any. And even though God didn't answer my specific request; I see that He got me through it and I focused more on Him in my time of need. I still am severely fearful of the hunstams... But, I know now I can overcome baby hunstmans and if there is a next time; I am comforted that I won't be as panicked and that God is there with me!!!
Also a lot of times; when I think that He is being distant... Is in fact, I'm most likely the one that's actually being distant.
3 million children die in the world every year from lack of basic nutrition. They literally starve to death. A long slow painful process. No deity cares about you or your baby spider problem. These mythology peddlers want your tithes and offerings, youtube views, sell you their books to explain a nonexistent God. All for their own benefit, not yours.
@@paulallen7962 we suffer because of our nature to sin, not because God wills it
and God is not nonexistent he is REAL and ALIVE
@@paulallen7962 The reason why people die from a lack of nutrition, or starvation... Is the fault of us not doing enough to help those in need. God has given us more than enough recourses to feed the whole world. God (who is very real), He has made Himself known in many ways. He is not to blame, for all the bad in the world, it is our doing.
@@kenji9564 the Bible says we were created in the image of God. Does he have a sin nature? Where did we get it from?
@@jess1987 How has God made himself known in many ways?
This blessed and encouraged me this morning Pastor Parr. Thank you.
I actually cried cause I thought GOD LEFT ME BUT I KNOW NOW GOD LOVES ME AND HE WE NEVER LEAVE ME NO MATTER WHAT ❤️
Thank you for uploading this. I just saw the upload tonight. Basically, you uploaded this 2-3 hours after a very bad anxiety attack. I’ve been under attack in my thoughts by the enemy for the past 2 weeks. I finally got baptized after years of delaying (3 weeks ago), and the enemy has attacked me with the fear of the unforgivable sin by whispering blasphemies in my ear over and over and over again in my sleep, while I’m around people, while I’m alone. There’s not been 15 minutes of peace without these strong attacks and anxiety.
I was angry with God this morning and doubted His love for me and asked Him if He cared about my suffering. I’m trying to learn to take thoughts captive, but it’s extremely challenging when I’m afraid of a single thought disqualifying me from being saved. It’s been torture.
Once again, thank you for this video. Some of the verses you shared spoke to me, especially Romans 8:38-39. My friend at my church shares that same verse with me the night I was baptized
Im going to keep it real Bro Allen
Im the son of a preacher man, but im a wild man, dipping and dapping into things i know are wrong but keep doing anyway
I know God hasnt gave up on me but i gave up on my self
I need prayer for obedience and a hunger for scripture
Im scared that God will eventually give up on me its so so much going through my head
God is always looking out for me and i wont deny it
Yet i continue to disobey so please please keep me in prayer so i can get it together and get back on track again
Much love from Jersey keep on keeping on spreading the word my brother
Thanks. I feel so distant from the Lord lately and I need to pray
Thank you! Needed this.
Thank you! Going through a testing time!! Prayers for all doing the same!
This type of encouragement is desperately needed with all of the negative influences that exist in our society today. It was also a blessing to have you worship with us last Sunday! So proud of the deaconess!! 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you Jesus
What an encouragement! Thank you, Allen Parr!
I’d like to share with y’all some insight that a pastor once taught about Ps. 103:12. Why not “As far as the north is from the south”?
Well, you can travel up north to the end ( North Pole), but then you are heading south. The North and South poles have definite points; they touch, so to speak. But there is no East or West poles, they NEVER MEET nor touch. So GOD removes our sins as far as the East is from the west means He removes them and they cannot touch (us) again. Isn’t that amazing, GOD’s attention to detail and His great love for us?!! Praise the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
This was great! Maybe top 7 verses for healing, top 7 for forgiving others, and top 7 for being grateful 😇 thanks brother Allen, keep up the good work!!
Thank you I know it has been said multiple times. Yet in obedience I had to testify that YAH had you to do this during this time. I myself and many of those surrounding me have been hit with a season of trials lately. I believe this is a strategic attack to break us down and for us to feel as if we are losing the battle. This simple but not so simple reminder was just another spiritual witness for those going through trials to hold on. The Word says if one part of the body is rejoicing then the body rejoices together and if we are weeping we weep together[paraphrase]. Yet I believe this is a place where many members are in this season. So thanks for the obedience of hearing 👂God remind us to hold on. Blessings, Love, & Peace be multiplied for the channel and your family.🌬🕊🙏
I am so glad God led me to this video. I was just giving my friend words of encouragement and she was expressing feeling distant. I will surely pass this along.
Youre absolutely right. Feelings do NOT dictate truth only Gods word does that. Praise Jesus for he is worthy.
This hit home for sure! I am going through a separation but I know for a fact that God will not allow anything on earth to separate what he has joined together. That being said, I know what I previously mentioned is true, but... My separation has me feeling like I distanced myself from God. I think there should be a video #2 about this topic.
Thank you!
I would loooove a top 7 series!
Great encouragement 👍
God's word really is sweeter than honey, like living waters... I am so thankful that God has led you to make this video Allen, every single verse was talking to me as I am battling some time that I have been feeling disconnected as if left on my own?? (i don't know how to best explain it...) so I waited and waited on God to bring freshness and refreshment to my heart, mind and soul... and here your video!! God is good, wonderful and His mercies neverend... I wonder if we are going to ever fully understand His fullness... what do you think Allen? will we? In the meantime I thank Him for I cannot escape His love!
I love these videos too Allen, it is God's word and I've always found you easy to understand, so it would be great if more of these could be made. I am thinking about subjects that we don't hear much of in church, but are a reality in many believer's lives too. Like depression, anxiety, loneliness.... I remember once sharing something about one of this subjects mentioned and I was straight off told "A heart that has Jesus cannot be sad!!" which brought doubts as to whether I had Jesus or not in my heart... not comforting at all! Wholeheartedly thank you Allen! :)
6:35
I wish that was true. In my case I'm close to being an atheist since I know I'll never feel any comfort and love from God and not FROM MYSELF.
There's times where I prayed for love and comfort from God, times when I needed him the most cause I have no one and nothing happened... Things got worse and I got worse.
I read the Bible a few times and listen to good pastors like you on RUclips and all it's done is made me pissed and upset. Because at least the people SAW Jesus, HEARD his voice, SAW his performan miracles and yet we will never.
I don't want to rely on MY feelings since how do I know it's not MYSELF trying to comfort MYSELF whenever I pray to God? Over the years I didn't have a choice but to hide and bottle my emotions from others and now I have PSTD, Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia because of my past.
You know how every person has needs and wants. Well I just NEED something to hear and/or from God, to know 1 Million Percent that it is from God and not myself trying to comfort MYSELF.
Levera Heart please know that I will be praying for you. God is there I can assure u...not sure what advice I can give you apart from inviting Him into your space and be willing to surrender. Happy to keep in touch...
Oh how I love your word Father! Thank you Mr. Parr
Thank u so much for this mr Parr I needed to hear this. I sometimes forget how unconditional God's love is and he promised that he will never leave or forsake us.
Bro Allen, thank you so much for being apart of the body. I appreciate you so much.
Thank you Pastor Allen. This was definitely needed. I have been struggling with reading my Bible recently. I’ve also been feeling distant from God in this season. It can be hard to remind myself that he is near no matter my circumstances. But it’s just something that I need to work through. Appreciate what you do and that you always stick to the Word!
Thank you brother ,I believe this will help the church alot
Perfect timing, thank you 😊
Hi Allen. I really needed this video. I have been battling for months with feeling I am disconnected from God. The verses are great, but what you said was like you were talking about me. Thank you.
How are you now?
Thanks brother Allen! I love watching your videos because they are huge blessings and help me get closer to Jesus as well as beat doubt! Thank God for you Allen!
Yes 🙏🏿🙏🏿. 7 verses on healing please. My mum is currently on end of life treatment for cancer. I can’t give up on her though. Even at this stage we’re praying for a miracle. 🙏🏿🙏🏿💔
Now this is the content I miss Allen Parr
Two thumbs way up! These scriptures are really needed in the world right now because there are so many who have become discouraged and distant from Our Lord and Savior.
Psalm 103:8-12...I needed to hear that today!
