    Brother Allen, I'm in tears hearing this today. I was literally pouring my heart out to a close friend of mine about how my shame has crippled me. An hour after that conversation, this sermon popped up I my feed. I don't know if another person is affected by this today, but rest assured. It broke my heart. And gave me some amazing ways to view my sin the way God views it. How arrogant and prideful of me to think that I know better than the Lord! He forgave me! But I won't forgive myself. Praise the Lord! There is no condemnation for me! Praise His Holy Name! May the Lord bless you today, specifically for blessing my heart. Thank you, brother. 🙏 ✝️ ❤️

      When your eyes are open and you see clearly it might cause pain. There's a void that can only be filled by the love of God and the washing of your heart by the Word of God. Study the word more and you'll find healing and peace.

    This was so helpful!!! Ive been stuck in condemnation for 20 plus years, feeling like a step child to God. Ive confessed many many times, I truly have repented BUT have not accepted Gods forgiveness or mercy. I felt I was not worthy. Im going to pray to God and ask Him for His help. I will keep this video handy to help remind me! Thank you.

    This came to me at the PERFECT moment thank you 😢 I am married now and pregnant with our first kid. We did it right. Didn’t even kiss before marriage to prevent temptation. But, men from my s*xual past keep messaging me and trying to talk about it and even thank me for it and I’m not replying to any of them but it keeps hitting me with absolute disgust toward my past and I have to block their numbers. Hormones from my pregnancy are hitting hard on top of this shame and I’ve been crying for over half of today about this and how much I’ve hurt God and ruined my body. Thank you so much, I cried again when this video popped up today because it just came out today as well. Thank you, God bless you and your ministry

      I lost my voice wife to cancer last year. Before we were married, I didn’t understand why she would start fights with me and sabotage the relationship. I would break up with her and then forgive her and we would have a great make up sex. However, she kept doing it, and I called her on it, and we started breaking up for real. I would go sleep with other women, she would find out and validate herself by sleeping with other men. She kept acting out in ways to try and make me leave her for good. On our last break up, I was with a girl who was prettier than her on the hood of my car. Of course women talk and someone called her and told her. She came around , looked at my hood and then looked at me and smiled. I got really angry and told her to leave. Later on, I was playing pool at a bar with my friend, and she came to the bar and insisted on talking. I told her no, and she became so upset that she threw her keys against the window and broke the bar window. The bar owner started calling the cops and she was going to get arrested, but I told him I would take care of it, and I told her to go home. My friend practically jumped for joy, because that meant we would be broken up for good, but secretly, I knew we would be back together because she was better, more loving, and nurturing than any of the other girls I was with. She fought for me and her desperate act of passion touched me. When we got back together this time, the fighting stopped. I think subconsciously she was testing to see if I would throw her away. I found out that the fights were because She had been molested by her father, and it caused tremendous shame, and anxiety. She wound up, gaining a lot of weight in order to make herself look less appealing to him, and she would only go to sleep, if her cousin was with her in the other room.
      I was with her for a total of 32 years, and we had three beautiful boys together. We had a very happy marriage, and we also “did it right”, from my standpoint, because we never divorced, she had the freedom to stay home, and raise the kids, and I made it a point to work 21 years at IBM to maintain a stable household. she never let me sleep on the couch, she would always come get me at 2 AM if we were fighting. She never let a fight see the dawn. Her best friend slept with the neighbor, and divorced her husband for him. My wife cut her off immediately because she didn’t want to let drama and instability into her life. She was the strongest, most loving woman I’ve ever been with.
      If my wife and I could go through all those early break ups and not let our early sexual partners cause any sort of issue in our marriage, then I am sure your previous sexual partners need not cause a problem. I used to tell my wife that I’m not worried about her being around other men because even if she made a mistake and slept with one of them, I know she would come right back to me because I’m the best she’s ever been with. I don’t know if your man is the best you ever been with, but as long as he is a strong man, and has control over his emotions, your marriage will stay strong. So make sure that he has a strong sense of purpose in his life, he works out and keeps his muscles. Strong, he has a guy, hobby, and guy friends like snowmobiling, motorcycle riding, or quad riding, and he knows how to make your climax every time. Also, be sure to have plenty of sex during your pregnancy. My mother is practically married to Jesus, and I almost lost it when she told me that as long as we were sexually compatible, our marriage would be a strong one. My wife always came to me for sex, and my mom was right.

    Four years after Christ rescued me from my sexual sin, I have finally accepted my new identity in Christ. I held on so tightly to the sins of my past and I brought them into my present. I let them determine who I am. I saw myself as a ruined woman, beyond redemption, beyond fixing, beyond fixing, unworthy of relationships - despite all the Scripture that says otherwise. I didn't accept that I was no longer condemned. I passionately believed that I would remain single for the rest of my life because of those sexual sins, that I had enough sex to last me several lifetimes. But God....He spoke through someone, and it finally clicked. What I did is not who I am. Do I still struggle with temptation to sin sexually? Absolutely. But I have a new name - I am redeemed. Worthy and deserving of love. I am restored. A child of God. I am free, hallelujah, I am free.
    Hear me, those who are suffering from your sexual sin - you are not your past. You're not. If Christ is in your heart and you have repented and you're listening and following Jesus and you've left your sin behind - you are His new creation. What you've done does not define who you are today.

    • @Greg-yu4ij
      @Greg-yu4ij 10 месяцев назад

      You’re right. God forgives you, and who you’ve been with, doesn’t define you. It can make it harder to enjoy intimacy with who you’re with now, but if you let it go and don’t compare your man with anyone you’ve been with, you’ll be OK It sounds like you’re well on your way. If you weren’t lucky enough to have been forgiven, and leave those previous men in the past, only a very strong man could keep your interest because your subconscious would keep making comparisons

    I began dating a girl recently who I felt strongly convicted by God to tell about my past sexual sins. It took guts but i trusted that God would help her process it and would not punish me for being transparent with her up front. She told me not too long ago that she knew in the moment I opened up to her, that she could trust me. She told me that it was that moment that she knew she could love me. You NEED to be open with you S/O. It will only become harder the longer you wait. Remember that God will always love you and He cares about your relationships.

      God did not make their body that way.
      They shouldn't be ashamed because he has removed our transgressions the moment we ask for forgiveness and repented (turned away from said act or lifestyle), it's human to want to languish in sadness for years instead of accepting that the time you asked in sincerity you were forgiven.
      "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry for ever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

    Brother Allen, thank you so much for this message. Its very timely for my life.
    Could you do a video expanding more on moving on of your partner's past?
    I got blindsided by the truth of my partner's past late in our relationship. Its been a long time, but I still have trouble letting go. Sometimes I am fine, but other times, I cant stop thinking about it and it hurts.

    • @thebeatagp
      @thebeatagp  Год назад +4

      Wow. Yeah, I remember I struggle with that about 20 years ago in a relationship with a young lady, not my wife. That can be very difficult to deal with. That is the reason why I encourage people to share much of their past, with their significant other early in their relationship, so that the person can decide whether they are able to deal with it or not. However, at this point, I would say that if they have truly repented of their past, and God has forgiven them, you can too. Now, that does not mean that you should stay with them. I would give it more time to see if the thoughts that haunt you about their past remain over time. You do, it might just be too much for you to deal with. But, Those thoughts me fade away and you could be in for a greayt relationship moving forward.

      "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

    • @Skullcrusher28
      @Skullcrusher28 Год назад

      @daisiesandpandas1218 Okay, first of all, he should never ask for forgiveness if he can not control it with the God made bones God gave him. Second of all, he isn't hurting anyone, so God should mind his own business. Third of all, God is evil, selfish, greedy, and narcissistic. The only reason God made us is to worship him, and so were slaves to him while God talks about how shitty sinners we are when he braggs about being perfect, powerful, and better than everyone else. God flooded the Earth, killing innocent people, and God killed his own son brutally. God can put a person in hell forever if they have a hard time believing in God, but not Satan??? God can let children starve in Africa and do nothing about it because he doesn't care about you and never has.

    Even though we confess and repent of our sins, and God forgives us, there is something that is reflected in King David's story that we need to remember: Forgiveness of sin does not necessarily negate the consequences of sin. David lost his infant son and the prophet Nathan stated that David's family would live by the sword (2Sam 12:10-12). Sometimes this is hard to bear as the consequences may be long-lived (Adam and Eve, e.g.) That is why Scripture says "It is better to obey than to sacrifice."

      Hi brother
      How are you doing?
      Overcoming addiction is nearly impossible when it is being done with one strength.
      I struggled with porn too.
      I was once a pornography addict. I was so tired and fed up yet I couldn't stop myself. I would cry and cry but I couldn't stop. Today I am free and it's two years now I haven't gone back to it.
      This is how I got delivered.
      I was a sin living Christain, so FIRSTLY I had to rededicate my life to CHRIST. I realized I couldn't stop by my own strength so I asked the Lord to please help me. I got rid of materials ( movies,books, musics) that would make me want to indulge. I started reading my Bible constantly. I got a shepherd that I can be accountable to. I got rid of friends that would notbhelp me grow, I surrounded myself with brethrens. I started watching Christain movies and books.
      My brother truthfully I haven't gone back to it since two years now.
      * The point is allow Jesus to help you and surrounded yourself with godly content and godly people*
      I Pray the good Lord help and keep you. I pray for grace to say NO to ungodliness.

    I have a friend (i'll call him matthew) who used to live a sexually immoral life before he was saved. And now i got another friend who IS currently in a sexually immoral life but pretty much one step away from salvation (I'll call this one michael).
    I got matthew and michael to meet each other, since with matthew's sexually deviant past and child of God present, he could help michael get closer to Christ.
    They met, and with both his testimony and my conversations with michael, michael is almost a believer at this point. I told matthew that God used him too, and told him to remember that every time the devil reminds him of his past... that this past was used to bring someone with his past as this person's present, to Jesus. Just as Allen talks about here on our sexually deviant past (for those who have it), being used to help others with the same struggle. When he said that i immediately thought of these 2 friends of mine
    EDIT: Allen subtly implies, and i'll say out here, that one way to help you overcome your shame, is to do what matthew did, use your past to help others with it as their present, to come closer to saving faith in Christ

      @Jesussaves.7777 Год назад +1

      Huh ? I don't understand your comment. Brother GOD loves us very much . He is Faithful to His Children. We as humans are flawed, blemished , and sinful.
      That is why we are SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ALONE
      JESUS'S BLOOD IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH.
      our Lord Jesus Christ has paid the price for ALL our sins PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE sins.
      It was all nailed to the cross.
      Shame and guilt / condemnation is a plan from the enemy to wreak havoc in the believer's life .
      But we must understand that all sins a forgiven and believe GOD when he says we have Eternal life / life with out end .
      Even though the says that GOD will chastens those who He loves and scourges every son who He receives.
      He will lovingly discipline those who are living in sin and correct them as a Loving Parent.
      when we sin we usually bring risk to our and health. But GOD LOVES us all Always. We cannot lose our Salvation ever .
      SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD AND NOT OF OURSELVES LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.
      Now on the other hand discipleship is very costly and will ultimately at the end of this life and in Heaven those who were Faithful with their works will receive rewards in Heaven from ALMIGHTY GOD.
      Remember Jesus died for us all
      He has risen
      And Jesus Reigns Forever.
      Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and roses up from the dead on the third day and He is now sitting at the right hand of The Father in Heaven. Jesus will be coming back soon to receive those who believe in Him .
      And for those who didn't just simply believe in Him for Salvation will perish and Not have Everlasting life. But hell forever.
      So one must Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and they will be Saved and their house.
      There is No other way for Salvation / to Heaven
      ONLY THROUGH BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST FOR WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS .
      Is to believe in The Finished Work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
      And not our works and good behavior/ obedience
      Remember no one could keep the law / ten commandments. So like John 3:16
      It says " For GOD so Loved The world that He gave His Only Begotten Son (Jesus Christ) that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE " .
      That is clear all the way . The Bible doesn't confuse us but the enemy tries to . But please keep reading Scripture so you may know the Truth because Truth will set you free .
      Free from bondage of the enemy's lies / deception.
      LET GOD BE THE TRUTH AND LET EVERY MAN BE A LIAR .
      Stay in the Word of GOD.
      Don't believe no man over GOD ever
      we all are flawed and liars .
      We shouldn't feel guilt
      OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST PAID FOR IT (ALL) ok
      LET ALL POWER GLORY HONOR PRAISES AND THANKS BE TO THE ALMIGHTY SOVEREIGN TRIUNE LIVING GOD IN HEAVEN FOREVER AND EVER AND ALWAYS IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN HALLELUJAH ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
