I pray that every chain, addiction, depression, sucidal thoughts, curses and strongholds be broken in your life. May you experience a divine encounter with Jesus right now.
Hey, if you read this please help/PRAY for me. I have never been this lost before in my life. I don't even know how to tell you guys that, but desperate cause I've never spoken out to anyone about this and it's killing me. When I was younger, age 8-10 I was sexual abused by my uncle, my mother had gone to church and he would ask me to tell her I'd play with him and it happened accordingly. When she was gone, after we'd've played with my toys he would ask me to go to bed with him and cause he couldn't sleep before showing something. Okay, I trusted him so I lied beside him, and he forced me to touch his sexual organ and massage it and rub it onto my body, of course I thought it was weird... however it didn't happen at once and it was gradual(like days) up until I realized he was trying penetration and I was uncomfortable but afraid to tell my mom cause he was there everytime and they both had good relationship so he would threat me and she wouldn't believe me... Anyways, now I'm 18 and I have been crying since I was 16 because I had feelings for a girl, in fact I have had fallen for girls only but never could get to be sexually attracted to them, instead I am sexually attracted to guys (not being thirsty to desire them but just physically attracted, I have never fallen for one, and never imagined having sexual relations with one either just being turned on by them instead of girls). So, please, I don't know what to do, I think I'm straight for I have never desired a guy partner, or a guy sexual partner (as I said I have fallen for girls only) the guy part is just physical and I think that's due to what happened to me in my childhood. I've been frustrated, anxious, crying and crying because I don't want to be this way, I actually prayed to God for Him to make me normal but it seems he doesn't hear me. I just am afraid to ask a girl I really like out and we start to date and that involves to marriage and voila it's a disaster cause I won't be able to connect to her. Pray for me, please.
@@ezequielson5677 Wow that must be horrible....I feel really bad for you. I will pray for you, trust in the Lord and he will answer your prayers. I bet it's hard but try not to be turned on by guys, this is what the bible says about this. "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error." God bless you and strengthen you.
ezequiel miqueias continue to pray. God is faithful and he will change your desire over time. Gradually perhaps. Be patient and remember we are all called to bear our cross as Jesus did. That cross is different for each of us. Being willing to carry it with God’s help is what separates a Christian from the world. It is the more excellent way Jesus tells us of. Prayers for you and peace.
ezequiel miqueias Hey I will pray for you. The guy who did that to you committed a crime against you. Many crimes. If you want come visit my channel. Blessings.
I love the dudes reaction after Ray said “you seem like a nice guy”, looked like he’s never heard anyone say that before. Looked so genuinely appreciative.
I was a lying, fornicating, weed smoking, cigarette smoking, exotic dancer, feminist, abortion having, wicca/witch, lover of self. God slowly and lovingly transformed my heart after I fell on my knees and told Him no matter what I don't have the strength to do the right things. He freed me from many demonic oppressions and strongholds. He gave me "new eyes to see and a new heart". It didn't happen all at once and he is still transforming me in his likeness but I thank God he began a "good work in me". 💗💗💗
Praise be to God I'm always happy to hear these kind of testimonies. This shows you that you're never too far from the hand of God; call out His name he'll leave the 99 and come get you. Thank you Jesus!
To anyone in Living Waters and/or all who read this . I'm in tears because I was once one of these young men. Now I am saved. Thank u Living Waters for your service to the Kingdom 🙏
DJ TRENDZ God bless you...I’m so happy to hear this! Heaven cheers when a sinner repents and comes to trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Please feel free to let me know if there is any way that I can be praying for you :)
She didn't say anything about the dad's not being in the houses. The women are usually the prayer warriors for their family and friends and children unless their husbands, the dads are preachers.
Just hearing brother Ray sharing the gospel with them makes our heart shout with AMÉN AMÉN ! ❤ ✝ ...it's almost like these is THE FIRST TIME hearing the gospel 👏that brings joy to our hearts 🙇 ❤
These guys are REAL! down to earth dudes. It's not wrong to be curious and asks the tough questions. The Guy with the sunglasses did that with his questions about The Ark and everything. And I love what the one guy at the end said at 19:00 - "God sent you to talk to me real quick" I hope they all receive the Spirit of the Lord any day now if not already! Amazing work Ray!
Yes! It can be discouraging when people seem to be stuck on their thinking and unable to hear, but thank God there still tends to be one person who gets it because the Lord has already been working in their heart (e.g. the last guy who speaks in the video). I am so thankful for all the ways He's worked in mine. May He continue to work in these guys!
When I was blind, I would look at everything logically. My sister tried to convince me that God was real and lusting after women was wrong. I told her I have no kids or a wife so how am I doing what’s wrong? Who am I doing wrong against? When God revealed himself to me and put the Holy Spirit in me, I was convicted immediately, and started throwing out the pornography. She and her husband prayed for me. I was made born again in the spirit. I thank Jesus for opening my eyes. I still struggle with my walk but I know the truth and I still want to do the will of God.
@@karlt.8911 After high school, I was living in an apartment and my mom was living with me. For many years, I went to work full-time in a warehouse, but later got fired which was one of the hardest times when you are working for the first time learning to provide at the age of 19-20. I later got hired at steak and shake but did horrible at that job and got fired within a month. I finally got hired at another job after New Years at a rental car company called Thrifty. I was attending part time school for computer engineering from the age of 18 - 23. I got tired of doing the same thing over and over again from day today working, going to school, and hanging out doing the same things. I felt like I was getting nowhere in life. My degree felt so far away, and I was so busy working and studying. I remembered when I was a teen that I used to look up at the stars and wonder how they were made that way. Of course scientifically gases form and explode but why does it? It only pursues more questioning even to thefact that the earth was made spherical, but why? Why couldn't the earth be a pyramid like shape or cube? I continued to ask more questions like whys the grass green? Scientifically, chlorophyll which the definition below, “a green pigment found in most plants, algae, andcyanobacteria. Its name comes fromGreek: ( chloros "green") and ( phyllon "leaf").Chlorophyll is absorbed by light most strongly in the blue and red but poorlyin the green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, which shows the green colourof chlorophyll-containing tissues like plant leaves.” But why the spectrum? why not something else? When I was 23 years old, and I looked up at the ceiling out of the curiosity of my heart and asked one night, “I don't know if you are real, invisible, or whatever, but I want to meet someone that has the same interests in me, like video games, anime, music, etc. preferably a woman.” Later on that month, I took an acting class because I did not like the degree I was pursuing and near the end of the acting course, I met a girl and her name was Monica. She was beautiful, but she had a boyfriend. I just wanted to be friends and remember I was not influenced by the American culture. The first time we spoke to each other, everything was on point about what I talked to this invisible being about. She was interested in the certain anime I liked, video games, and music. It was everything down to the detail and even more. During this time, I did not perceive that this invisible being showed me that yet. Later, we hung out after that for about two weeks, and I asked my friend Kevin which he worked at Disney in Orlando to get us into Disney for free, so all three of us could hang out, and we did. I never thought a girl could like me, but she started liking me more than I thought. I never had a girlfriend. Monica began flirting with me, but I did not understand what a flirt looked like because I never gone out on dates with girls. I just knew I started acting weird from what I thought, but it felt good. Later that night, my friend left, and it was just me and her. We were tired from all the rides at Disney and laid down on this grassy hill, and the lake was in front of us. The moon was shimmering off the lake, and the stars were out. It was like a perfect movie scene that any romance novel would have written. I asked her the same philosophical questions I asked God about the stars, and why the earth is made the way it is. The next thing I know she's got her hand around my head and her one finger on my lip stroking it and she's about to KISS ME! I was freaking out in my head because I knew she had a boyfriend and I knew it was wrong. All of a sudden, the fireworks went off in the background at Disney, and there was an orchestra playing in the background, which Disney does the same time every night, but I didn't know and the setting was too perfect. I told her we couldn't do this and it wasn't right. She understood and said if my boyfriend saw us out here, we would be in trouble. We ended up leaving, and I was taking her home. On the way, she started talking tome about the Bible in Revelations about the end times and what would happen. It sounded interesting, but I didn't care too much. We finally got to her house, and she gave me the Bible and I went home. That night, I woke up in the morning at 4:11am. The next morning, I woke up at 4:11am again, and then again at 4:11am in the morning. I said to myself, “Why do I keep waking up at 4:11am?” Out of curiosity, I opened the CEV Bible she gave me that was next to me, and I opened it to pages 411. I didn't know the verses or chapters at all, and it talked about this guy named Jehoahaz who is King of Judah and reigned over his kingdom for 3 months, but another king came and taxed his people and threw Jehoahaz in jail and Jehoahaz was 23 years old. And I was 23 years old.
(Second Part to the story) How was it that I spoke to God about meeting someone with the same interests as me? Then I met her, and she tells me about a portion of the Bible in Revelations. I get the bible from her, I wake up at 4:11am three times, I looked at the bible pages 411 and see this guy Jehoahaz King of Judah was 23 years old? How was all of that a coincidence all at once? There is no way I would have been able to articulate that concept whatsoever for this being to lead me to this Bible after I spoke initially. How is that concept possible? I could have spoken to any girl, and I never had any interest in any girl after I spoke to this being. It could have been anyone with different interests or possibly the same interests without a Bible, but I didn't turn away. It could have been a guy with the same interests and could have been my friend, but it wasn’t. I could have ignored the times that I woke up, but I didn't. I could have rejected the Bible she gave me, but I didn't. It could have been a woman from india, africa, china, turkey, etc. Why her? It could have been the Koran, the Vedas, or any other form of scripture, but why the Bible? How did this being answer me? Why did this being answer me? Who was this being? I began to read the Bible for 4 hours straight and found so many things that had to deal with my past, and present experiences that my mind was racing so fast, and my heart began to change immediately. I never experienced anything like this before. My mind and heart was literally being renewed. Tears began to come out of my eyes though I was not sad, happy or anything. I did not understand what was happening, I just knew I was changing. I called my sister and told her I think I found God, and I explained to her everything that happened, and she was crying. I had tons of pornography movies that I had burned on to CD’s and I threw them out. During this time, I did not understand who God was and His understanding of life. I was like a newborn baby that just came out of the womb learning for the first time. Even though I explained to my friend what was happening to me, he asked for a couple of CD’s, which I did give to him, but I did not understand during this time if it was right or wrong. I just knew I had to get rid of the CD’s, and I did not know later that scripture talks about lust of the flesh.
RideTn how is he blaspheming tho? Not everyone who goes to church actually has a relationship with Jesus. And plus the church isn’t a building it’s the assembly of believers in Christ.
Amen 🙏🏻 A lot of people in the church are self righteous that’s why, none of us deserve heaven, we are all sinners deserving of hell. But God is good and forgave us ❤️
It'll be a whole lot more interesting if what you say is true..... I've been to church.....and I've lived in that part of town (Nashville)..... Had a whole lot better time with better and truer friends in the city......
Instead of saying "can we please get more evangelicals like Ray"... say, God can you make me an evangelical like your servant Ray? I LOVE what Ray said in one of his videos.. (talking about having fear to evangelize) he said, don't pray to God to have less fear, pray to Him to have more Love! Maan! That really got to me because I'm always nervous to evangelize to people but when I ask God to help me love them like HE loves them, makes ALL the difference!💙😊
Ray knows what he is doing. Martin Luther born Nov 10, 1483, made claims against his own Church that Jesus founded (the Catholic Church), that donations (indulgences) discouraged Christians from true repentance and sorrow for sin. He argued that WORKS; giving to the poor, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick and other WORKS of mercy is a must do for salvation. When he starts his own Protestant movement, he proclaims by faith alone is a person saved, NOT WORKS. Taking large donations from those looking for salvation by Faith alone. To this day millions still follow this hypocrite.
“God sent you to talk to me real quick.” Brings tears to my heart. He acknowledged all that was from God. I can sense a heart that’s about to beat for God! Let’s pray for them!
I've been a missionary in Northeast Brazil for twenty five years. My neighborhood is extremely dangerous! Today just after I walked by a bunch of guys like these, one of them was shot in the chest and face, and he just died in the hospital as I write this. I've preached on that street. I've probably talked about Jesus to the kid that was killed. Please keep my family and I in your prayers, also pray for this young man's family and friends. God bless.
Yes such tragedy all over the world with gangs, drugs etc it is such a waste of life, I have you, your family and all the lost in my prayers brother GOD bless you & yours always and thank you for your hard work you do in Jesus Mighty name A.MEN!!!🕊💓🙏💓🕊.
John Hansen God bless you for all your hard work and devotion to God. May the Lord strengthen you and your family and keep you in His protective shadow. May the Lord comfort the boy’s family and draw them (with all his friends on the street) unto Himself. For His glory. In Jesus name amen.
There definitely is an Afterlife. Before I got saved, I was living in sin. I went to church maybe once a year and I never really spoke to my kids about Jesus. My 4 year old daughter woke up one morning and told me that Jesus came in her room, took her by the hand and took her to heaven where she saw my grandmother there who died 2 years ago. She even went into details and said Jesus was wearing white clothes and white hair. I googled Jesus description and it took me to the book of Revelation 1:14 which said Jesus is dressed in white clothing and his hair was white as wool or snow. I never even knew that until she said it, and we live in Canada where it's not taught in schools and we don't attend church so how else would she have known that. I got saved that very day and my life ever since has been all about Jesus Christ my saviour!
I don’t agree they have “good” souls. If they did they wouldn’t need Christ. “No one is good, not even one. Lest any man should boast.” You are right in that they need set free of their bondage as do all sinning human beings. Amen and God bless.
Ray, when you speak of the Passover, the Biblical necessity to put blood on the door and necessity to eat the unblemished lamb in order for the angel of death to passover your home, then when Jesus begins his public ministry John the Baptist references Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God", and Jesus Himself says emphatically & repeatedly, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life within you." And then the night before Jesus' death He broke Bread with his Apostles and commanded them, "Do this in memory of me" How can you ignore Jesus' command which is so clearly what happens at every Catholic Mass thru His Priesthood that has literally been handed on from the 12 Apostles on up to the present-day. Why would you, as a Protestant, reject this central mystery of Jesus Christ of receiving the Body and Blood, offered in the appearance of wine and bread, just as Jesus did at the Last Supper and commanded us all to do? You speak of hell often, but have you no fear of God for rejecting what is most central to Revelation? Surely you are aware that for the first 1,500 years of the Church this celebration of the Eucharist, the Body & Blood of Christ, in the Divine Liturgy, i.e. the Catholic Mass was what ALL Christians did until Fr Martin Luther, a German Catholic priest, rebelled and without any authorization from God - protested the Catholic Church and started his own church and now there are thousands of splintered, divided Protestant "Christian" churches that, along with you, reject the Eucharist and priesthood of Jesus Christ and new covenant of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?
I felt the Spirit of God strong regarding that last young man with the tattoo by his eye. He was so emotional and so jumpy and he was trying to keep from crying. He was definitely moved and in the end he said it all, "God sent you to talk to me. 💞❤️ All these young men were respectful. I Believe you touch each one of them in a different way. Jesus surround them with your peace that passes all understanding. May you continue to open up Their Hearts wide, so that they can feel your love for them. Lord Jesus continue to guide them to you and make mighty Warriors for your kingdom in Jesus name!
All of these men respectfully listened… it is perfectly fine that they had questions. The last gentleman seemed like he was truly trying to make sense of the things he’s heard before compared to what Ray was teaching him. May he stay focused on the gospel and the truth of the Word so everything else can began to have clarity. So many of us can relate to his questions and I applaud all of them for hanging in for the conversation and truthfully answering Ray’s questions. Wonderful interviews!
@@Sumtingwongbruh123 John 1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God....and the Word became FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US....
Yup. They sure do. But they've not had any reliable preacher to explain it to them. Let's go out and share the good news! There's a whole world waiting!
They don’t seem like gang members to me. Just handsome, young black men with tattoos. It’s clear some of them have a Christian background as well. Of course I don’t know their past, but that aside, I really appreciate the advice about using apologetics as the bait and going back to the gospel always.
Yeah I think rays just refering to their appearance. That many may be scared to go talk to them. I'm scared to go talk to any random strangers to talk about Jesus, but rays just saying to go with a dog that has sunglasses and you can evangelise to any type of character! God bless you in Jesus name
I believe these guys have love, but possibly where they live, they are forced to be tough. I've known many thugs who are tough guys that WILL kill, but they have a genuinely beautiful heart that is covered by the fear of being trampled upon or taken for granted.
What beautiful and intelligent young men. I loved at the end when the last man said "God sent you to talk to me real quick" You can tell it touched his spirit, and he was right, the Lord did send Ray to talk to him/them. Ray, through your faithfulness, the Holy Spirit is truly able to work wonders ❤️
Yes, amen! I hope someone else gives them the fullness of the Truth. Unfortunately Ray has not got that yet. Ray, when you speak of the Passover, the Biblical necessity to put blood on the door and necessity to eat the unblemished lamb in order for the angel of death to passover your home, then when Jesus begins his public ministry John the Baptist references Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God", and Jesus Himself says emphatically & repeatedly, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life within you."

@Free Thinker Everyday you wake up and draw breath is grace and mercy.. You were born into this world in Love, even though you adopted hate [same as every man]. God gave his only begotten son as a living sacrifice so that through Him, men would escape the bondage of sin and have everlasting life after we pass from this world. Everything *good* you can marvel at and behold in this world is because of God. If He extends His grace and mercy out for the wicked, after we sin and rebel against Him countless times. How can God be evil ? "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5
@Free Thinker You're thinking about it wrongly here friend. The point is, He didn't have to do it, but He loved the world so much that He did it so losts souls wouldn't eternally have to be lost for their sins.
@Free Thinker I didn't say that. Now you're putting words in my mouth friend. Also, if God supported slavery, he wouldn't have freed the Hebrew Israelites [who were slaves] from the Egyptians through Moses. I'll reiterate my first point: Everyday you wake and breath is mercy on your life. Everything good in life that you marvel and behold at is the grace and goodness of God. Rejoice that you woke up today. Rejoice that you aren't homeless. Rehoice that you may have had a meal today, rejoice that you aren't blind or deaf. Rejoice. Yes life can suck sometimes, and yes it could be better [or worse], but be glad you have it. Seek God diligently. He is real and He loves you more than you have ever been loved. Seek Him and He'll reveal Himself to you in a unique way. God Bless
@Free ThinkerGod let Israel be free from Egypt who held them slave, but yeah a nitpicker would only talk about what he wants to fit his agenda just like you.
@Free Thinker I've spoken to you before. You're deceived, and it's sad. I care about you and I want you to inherit eternal life. I've told you how. Your pestering is to no avail, so why waste your effort? We share the gospel because we care about people. How much would you have to hate a man, if you knew you had the cure for his terminal illness, and didn't share it with him?
When Ray said to the young man at the end, "thanks for talking to me, and not getting mad with me" then the young man says "no God sent you to talk to me real quick". That put a tear in my eye, and a lump in my throat. God Bless, from Kelly in Scotland xx
Idc how bad you may think you are when the holy Spirit convicts you it can break anyone down in tears but goes to show how much he loves you and how desperately he wants you to change
I always wondered if I was still saved even though I still had my sinful thoughts. Someone told me that because I was so worried about it and it showed that I was truly repentant. Thank you Lord for sending your son cleanse me of my sins. And thank you Ray and Kirk and the rest of your team for doing what you do every day. God bless everyone who reads this
I know this is a late reply, but you two should both do a serious study of the Book of Romans (and pay special attention to chapter 7). You’ll see that all of us-even the Apostle Paul, through whom the Holy Spirit wrote about 2/3 of our New Testament-struggle with sinful desires. We’ll even inevitably give way to those sinful desires at times. Indeed, this flesh is inseparable from sin. The key is to put to death the misdeeds of our flesh through engagement to the Spirit. It’s a constant battle in which we cannot triumph whilst still bound by this imperfect flesh. Though it is incumbent on us to fight onto death, we are ultimately too weak. The Good News, though, is that our King-who heads His troops as does a loving husband his wife in the face of imminent danger-is unshakeable. For what, after being broken, can say to that which broke it, “you hold no power over me!”? Is not the act of breaking, in and of itself, the demonstration of one thing’s power over the other? And now, did not Christ utterly destroy death through his Resurrection from the dead? Therefore, my friends, Jesus holds complete authority over death. And as such, death holds no power over us; we who are in Him. Though our own battles must persist-as perseverance produces character and character hope; hope giving rise to trust (Faith) through which we are justified-we must fret not. The war was finished on the cross with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Fix your eyes upon Him, and the rest of you will fall in line. Certainly we must produce good fruit in keeping with repentance, but that repentance comes naturally once we begin loving Him in the same way that He loved us. Recognize that He laid down his life for us and that He now calls us to do the same for Him. Though, again, sin is unavoidable to some extent, we must fight it with all that we are. When it comes down to it, what’s more important: the undying love of your Redeemer or the fleeting pleasures of sin which merely beckon you toward death? The Spirit inside of you knows the answer; so listen to it. When you do inevitably stumble, remember why it is that Christ died for us. Don’t beat yourself up too much, for after all, if His death didn’t atone for sin yet to be committed, we’d all be screwed (and, of course, we’re not). Simply pray earnestly for forgiveness when need be, and keep on keeping on. All of our many thanks be to Christ, now and forever more. Amen.
Its not us that earns righteousness, but Christ in us that makes us righteous. I sometimes mess up but i repent and try my best to stay away from sin. The Word of God says “For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.” Proverbs 24:16 That righteousness of Christ is what helps us be victorious over sin and its all a work in progress(not an excuse for sin but a means to be more holy). God is so good
Exactly why you can’t judge off appearances. The guy that says “God sent you to talk to me real quick” looks on the surface like he would be the most against it but was the most receptive. The guy with the shades is the most clean cut and approachable looking yet he was the most against the message. Just shows how you have to get to know people before you can make assessments.
@@seanomowele229 great scripture! I've read the book of John and that line escaped me. Amazing how so many people think wisdom like "don't judge a book by its cover" is just worldly wisdom and it comes straight from the bible. Blessings to you!
Every chain can be broke through JESUS... With our ministry there are many that had this same past, however God always has a way to reach through our faults and wrong choices. Remember tests become testimonies through Jesus Christ. Sometimes it might be the next generation that learns from our mistakes, however God's plans are perfect and lead to salvation! AMEN....
@Enoxificatti your alier please how can you preach on some one you dont . okay he was black I know and in the bible it's there even the real Israelites were blacks
@Enoxificatti hahaha I even laugh so much even I see the todays Arabs in Egypt saying there the native I even laugh so hard. the native Egyptian where absolutely blacks and Israelites. go ready history even garden of eden that they talk about in the bible was in Africa eastafrica am telling you
@@kiiza2886 I just saw a video of Billy Graham back in the day talking about Jesus' skin color, it was on an Ellis Titus Smith, or something like that name, he does RUclips shorts and is a conservative black you tuber. Anyway Graham goes on to say that His skin color was neither white nor the darkest of shades, but something probably more like the middle eastern peoples color of that day. Be blessed, my friend!
Raised in Compton, California and living there from the 70's to 90's and having family members that were gang members I see where these guys are. The 3 tear drop tattoo on his face means he has killed 3 people. These guys are the real deal when it comes to gangsters. When Ray asked him what did God to to save sinners, the man's eyes started to blink rapidly and you could see it touched him when the truth came out of his mouth. God bless you Ray, God is using you to teach us. Blessings brother
@@felliesweetie It's the life of a gang member. Intimidation is the main factor for the teardrop tattoo. Placing fear into others, so that there is no attempt in fighting you, but yet at the same time they still know it's wrong that's why it's a tear drop. In the streets Feliciana, it is kill or be killed. Normally it's always with rival gang members who are always fighting against each other. Most fights are rare because it normally ends up being that everyone carries a gun. The fact that it took you getting beat up to join a gang is one thing, but getting out of a gang normally ends up in death. Killing someone for trying to kill you is seen as survival.
Actually the original meaning of the tear drop was a prison sign of humiliation of being raped and becoming someone’s property. Then I’ve seen where the outline of a tear was 1 year and a fully colored in tear was 10 years in the pen. I was also raised in southern Cali, born in Norwalk so we were neighbors.
This is absolutely beautiful! I was where these young men were 25 years ago. I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and come into my heart a few weeks before my 20th Birthday. Best decision of my life. God has turned my life around and I have been really blessed. I have a wonderful marriage, 2 beautiful children. Things haven't always been easy on this journey but God always keeps me going forward. He is faithful.
I just watched this video within my church- City Church. This guy is absolutely God-sent. I wish I could just meet him and tell him he’s doing great things, even from over 1,500 miles away.
Did ya'll get that at the end? Where Lee said, "God sent you to talk to me real quick." AMEN!!! THAT MADE MY DAY!! YOU ARE LOVED LEE, YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES.
He didn't stump him and didn't show Ray responding . The thief on the cross wasn't on the cross because he was good but bad and asked for forgiveness for his sins
Lee was really moved at the end. That's the feeling of God touching your heart. It's so beautiful to see a humble and sincere heart that can hear God's truth. Bless him and God keep him for your eternal Kingdom.
That last statement by one of the man : "God sent you to talk to me.... ".... God has touched that man's heart for sure... ! Thank You Lord. Thank you brother Ray !
Praise the Lord, the point is at least they stayed to listen to the gospel. Prayers that God will open their hearts to turn to the One and only savior Jesus Christ 🙌🙏🏽✝️
These 3 men can change a lot of peoples life. I love how they asked questions that everyone else has and listened. God is on the move and these men are on their way to witnessing for the Kingdom of God in the near future 🙏 🙌 ✨️ Im so proud of them ❤️ 💜 ♥️
That's what I was thinking! I can see their desire for truth, and Ray was happy to deliver it! I'd love to be able to talk with them too, they're intelligent and thoughtful and would make for a great conversation, I'm sure. 😊😊 Thank you Jesus for being so full of LOVE that even those who are lost can feel it!!
I seen a ton of these videos and can't stop watching them... We have an awesome God and the way Ray introduces the gospel into peoples lives is amazing...
@Jen Jen or whipping them if he sees it necessary. And nobody is going to retaliate. 🤣🤣🤣 Or even hitting them with lightning or giving them heart attacks or stomach aches. Even giving them stroke or killing them. Yeses. If Jesus wanted to set gangstas straight, he would do it in a very short period of time and no one would do anything. 🤣🤣🤣
Ray, As a mother, thank you for what you do for these children who are just lost just like all of us until we find the true Lord! These boys are beautiful children of God, who confessed they are sinners just like all of us. I pray they do seek to find the true God bc we will all face him one day! Thank you for your ministry!

I'm learning a lot here. I share my story how I crossed over from the world to a believer and a disciple of Jesus Christ. I like his approach, I'm excited to share my faith and be direct tomorrow with the people God puts in front of me. Amen
I commend that one dude who already know the gospels word for word at the beginning. Haven't seen at the moment of comment how he reacted, but I'm pretty sure the words will enter his heart at the end. God bless these people
Beautiful Brother.. Thank God for sending you.. I grew up very similar didn't think I'd see 21.. not trying to be funny but real.. 40 plus years ago two, a Elderly couple (White) came to our community gave us the gospel, did church in our basement apartment complex and taught us God's book.. All we keep thinking is why do these elderly white people care so much for us dirty out of control inner city kids?? Through the years that moment stayed with me, it taught me compassion as I matured, it displayed courage and Faith in a God they truly believed in.. I've raised men, my four Son's and many Marines in their youth.. Between God Being there Jesus supporting, The Holy Spirit teaching and that Elderly couples impact in my young life, to this day I still speak to other's about it and understand Real Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ😊👏😎✊💪🙏☝ Now I've gotta go cry in the corner where the men I work with won't see😬😳😂 Thanks again My Brother, Semper Fi👍
Troy Jones Sr., may the Lord God Almighty bless you and your family in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Eternal life in God's Kingdom will be beautiful after we overcome this earthly hell. 1 John 3:2 "Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." 1 Cor.2:9 "But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Troy, Thanks for sharing. I'm encouraged by your words because I work with inner city kids in a ministry called "Heaventrain", started here in Cleveland 39 yrs. ago, now worldwide. It's a "Sunday School on Wheels", so to speak, and we reach about 600 kids from April through December two Saturday's a month. Being one of those "crazy white people", sharing the love of Jesus, has changed my life! Been involved for 10 yrs. myself now and can't wait for this April! Love from Cleveland Ohio, B. 📖 ⛪ 😁
9:09 ... And almost 45 years later I’m now understanding the concept of conception from Adam and Eve and beyond how they were inter married. They were no law then so it wasn’t a sin.
I don't know what or whom helped you to understand but I am glad that you do. A lot of things such as that causes some people to really discredit or not believe the bible.
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Romans 5:13-14 KJV bible.com/bible/1/rom.5.13-14.KJV
Couldn’t God have just made more people and placed them in other places nearby? It doesn’t specify that He did not create any more people, if I remember correctly
I have a lot of tattoos, muscle mass and a shaved head. It’s actually quite easy for me to spark up conversations with Tough guys in my area. They always feel like I’m genuine. I don’t look like a Choir boo so they listen. Sometimes we judge a book by a cover and when clean cut “stereotypical” Christians approach us, we assume they are out of touch, maybe born into a nice Christian family (which we obviously don’t know until we talk to them). I honestly think my calling is to preach the Gospel to these types and possibly Prison Ministries. Thank you Living Waters for being a tool I’ve used to begin sharing the Gospel!
I love how at the very end, the young man said to Ray, "God sent you to talk to me about this!" Praying for all three of them, plus the others that didn't come on camera. Ezekiel 36:26.
I like how Ray make it crystal clear when the individual try to justify who they think they are. So many people live the lie thinking that they will enter into heaven because they think they are a “good “person. There’s none good but ONE!
Yes, but Ray also needs evangelizing. Happy All Saints day. When Ray speaks of the Passover, the Biblical necessity to put blood on the door and necessity to eat the unblemished lamb in order for the angel of death to passover your home, then when Jesus begins his public ministry John the Baptist references Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God", and Jesus Himself says emphatically & repeatedly, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life within you." And then the night before Jesus' death He broke Bread with his Apostles and commanded them, "Do this in memory of me" Unfortunately he is ignorant that Jesus' command which is so clearly what happens at every Catholic Mass thru His Priesthood that has literally been handed on from the 12 Apostles on up to the present-day. Why would a Protestant reject this central mystery of Jesus Christ of receiving the Body and Blood, offered in the appearance of wine and bread, just as Jesus did at the Last Supper and commanded us all to do? Ray speaks of hell often, but have he no fear of God for rejecting what is most central to Revelation? Surely he is not aware that for the first 1,500 years of the Church this celebration of the Eucharist, the Body & Blood of Christ, in the Divine Liturgy, i.e. the Catholic Mass was what ALL Christians did until Fr Martin Luther, a German Catholic priest, rebelled and without any authorization from God - protested the Catholic Church and started his own church and now there are thousands of splintered, divided Protestant "Christian" churches that, along with you, reject the Eucharist and priesthood of Jesus Christ and new covenant of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? 🙏🏽
After Ray gives the analogy of someone paying the speeding tickets for them, a great follow up question to that is "how would you feel towards the person that paid all of those tickets?" It gives them an emotional feeling of gratitude towards The Savior immediately, helping them respect Jesus more. God Bless Everyone in this video and all who helped produce it.
When people sense sincerity and no fear, they listen. Ray does an amazing job of breaking barriers and going places most wouldn’t dare, and it shows that people listen.
God bless you Ray. Telling it straight😄😄 and these young men are actually very respectful of what you're saying even though by their facials they don't usually put up with a stranger telling them they're a lying, thieving...😆. God bless these young men and may God protect them and you Ray. 😊

Hey, if you read this please help/PRAY for me.
I have never been this lost before in my life. I don't even know how to tell you guys that, but desperate cause I've never spoken out to anyone about this and it's killing me. When I was younger, age 8-10 I was sexual abused by my uncle, my mother had gone to church and he would ask me to tell her I'd play with him and it happened accordingly. When she was gone, after we'd've played with my toys he would ask me to go to bed with him and cause he couldn't sleep before showing something. Okay, I trusted him so I lied beside him, and he forced me to touch his sexual organ and massage it and rub it onto my body, of course I thought it was weird... however it didn't happen at once and it was gradual(like days) up until I realized he was trying penetration and I was uncomfortable but afraid to tell my mom cause he was there everytime and they both had good relationship so he would threat me and she wouldn't believe me... Anyways, now I'm 18 and I have been crying since I was 16 because I had feelings for a girl, in fact I have had fallen for girls only but never could get to be sexually attracted to them, instead I am sexually attracted to guys (not being thirsty to desire them but just physically attracted, I have never fallen for one, and never imagined having sexual relations with one either just being turned on by them instead of girls). So, please, I don't know what to do, I think I'm straight for I have never desired a guy partner, or a guy sexual partner (as I said I have fallen for girls only) the guy part is just physical and I think that's due to what happened to me in my childhood. I've been frustrated, anxious, crying and crying because I don't want to be this way, I actually prayed to God for Him to make me normal but it seems he doesn't hear me. I just am afraid to ask a girl I really like out and we start to date and that involves to marriage and voila it's a disaster cause I won't be able to connect to her. Pray for me, please.
Amen! I believe and receive it in Jesus name!
@@ezequielson5677 Wow that must be horrible....I feel really bad for you. I will pray for you, trust in the Lord and he will answer your prayers. I bet it's hard but try not to be turned on by guys, this is what the bible says about this. "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error." God bless you and strengthen you.
ezequiel miqueias continue to pray. God is faithful and he will change your desire over time. Gradually perhaps. Be patient and remember we are all called to bear our cross as Jesus did. That cross is different for each of us. Being willing to carry it with God’s help is what separates a Christian from the world. It is the more excellent way Jesus tells us of. Prayers for you and peace.
ezequiel miqueias Hey I will pray for you. The guy who did that to you committed a crime against you. Many crimes. If you want come visit my channel. Blessings.
I love the dudes reaction after Ray said “you seem like a nice guy”, looked like he’s never heard anyone say that before. Looked so genuinely appreciative.
I noticed that too. The power of our words! Not to be taken lightly.
He certainly did look happy and appreciated those kind words!!
Also when Ray said I love you

Instantly brought tears to my eyes
That line blessed me when I heard it.
I was a lying, fornicating, weed smoking, cigarette smoking, exotic dancer, feminist, abortion having, wicca/witch, lover of self. God slowly and lovingly transformed my heart after I fell on my knees and told Him no matter what I don't have the strength to do the right things. He freed me from many demonic oppressions and strongholds. He gave me "new eyes to see and a new heart". It didn't happen all at once and he is still transforming me in his likeness but I thank God he began a "good work in me". 💗💗💗
Amen :)
👏Amen, I understand
Amen!
This says a lot. God bless you!
Praise be to God I'm always happy to hear these kind of testimonies. This shows you that you're never too far from the hand of God; call out His name he'll leave the 99 and come get you. Thank you Jesus!

These guys are REAL! down to earth dudes. It's not wrong to be curious and asks the tough questions. The Guy with the sunglasses did that with his questions about The Ark and everything. And I love what the one guy at the end said at 19:00 - "God sent you to talk to me real quick" I hope they all receive the Spirit of the Lord any day now if not already! Amazing work Ray!
They all know the truth that for sure
BRAINWASHING WORKS! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought the sunglasses guy asked really good questions - the same ones I used to ask.
Yes! It can be discouraging when people seem to be stuck on their thinking and unable to hear, but thank God there still tends to be one person who gets it because the Lord has already been working in their heart (e.g. the last guy who speaks in the video). I am so thankful for all the ways He's worked in mine. May He continue to work in these guys!
When I was blind, I would look at everything logically. My sister tried to convince me that God was real and lusting after women was wrong. I told her I have no kids or a wife so how am I doing what’s wrong? Who am I doing wrong against? When God revealed himself to me and put the Holy Spirit in me, I was convicted immediately, and started throwing out the pornography. She and her husband prayed for me. I was made born again in the spirit. I thank Jesus for opening my eyes. I still struggle with my walk but I know the truth and I still want to do the will of God.
Amen! Praise the Lord 🙏. God is all in all!!
How did God reveal himself to you?
@@karlt.8911 After high school, I was living in an apartment and my mom was living with me. For many years, I went to work full-time in a warehouse, but later got fired which was one of the hardest times when you are working for the first time learning to provide at the age of 19-20. I later got hired at steak and shake but did horrible at that job and got fired within a month. I finally got hired at another job after New Years at a rental car company called Thrifty. I was attending part time school for computer engineering from the age of 18 - 23. I got tired of doing the same thing over and over again from day today working, going to school, and hanging out doing the same things. I felt like I was getting nowhere in life. My degree felt so far away, and I was so busy working and studying. I remembered when I was a teen that I used to look up at the stars and wonder how they were made that way. Of course scientifically gases form and explode but why does it? It only pursues more questioning even to thefact that the earth was made spherical, but why? Why couldn't the earth be a pyramid like shape or cube? I continued to ask more questions like whys the grass green? Scientifically, chlorophyll which the definition below,
“a green pigment found in most plants, algae, andcyanobacteria. Its name comes fromGreek: ( chloros "green") and ( phyllon "leaf").Chlorophyll is absorbed by light most strongly in the blue and red but poorlyin the green portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, which shows the green colourof chlorophyll-containing tissues like plant leaves.”
But why the spectrum? why not something else?
When I was 23 years old, and I looked up at the ceiling out of the curiosity of my heart and asked one night, “I don't know if you are real, invisible, or whatever, but I want to meet someone that has the same interests in me, like video games, anime, music, etc. preferably a woman.” Later on that month, I took an acting class because I did not like the degree I was pursuing and near the end of the acting course, I met a girl and her name was Monica. She was beautiful, but she had a boyfriend. I just wanted to be friends and remember I was not influenced by the American culture. The first time we spoke to each other, everything was on point about what I talked to this invisible being about. She was interested in the certain anime I liked, video games, and music. It was everything down to the detail and even more. During this time, I did not perceive that this invisible being showed me that yet. Later, we hung out after that for about two weeks, and I asked my friend Kevin which he worked at Disney in Orlando to get us into Disney for free, so all three of us could hang out, and we did. I never thought a girl could like me, but she started liking me more than I thought. I never had a girlfriend. Monica began flirting with me, but I did not understand what a flirt looked like because I never gone out on dates with girls. I just knew I started acting weird from what I thought, but it felt good. Later that night, my friend left, and it was just me and her. We were tired from all the rides at Disney and laid down on this grassy hill, and the lake was in front of us. The moon was shimmering off the lake, and the stars were out. It was like a perfect movie scene that any romance novel would have written. I asked her the same philosophical questions I asked God about the stars, and why the earth is made the way it is. The next thing I know she's got her hand around my head and her one finger on my lip stroking it and she's about to KISS ME! I was freaking out in my head because I knew she had a boyfriend and I knew it was wrong. All of a sudden, the fireworks went off in the background at Disney, and there was an orchestra playing in the background, which Disney does the same time every night, but I didn't know and the setting was too perfect. I told her we couldn't do this and it wasn't right. She understood and said if my boyfriend saw us out here, we would be in trouble. We ended up leaving, and I was taking her home. On the way, she started talking tome about the Bible in Revelations about the end times and what would happen. It sounded interesting, but I didn't care too much. We finally got to her house, and she gave me the Bible and I went home. That night, I woke up in the morning at 4:11am. The next morning, I woke up at 4:11am again, and then again at 4:11am in the morning. I said to myself, “Why do I keep waking up at 4:11am?” Out of curiosity, I opened the CEV Bible she gave me that was next to me, and I opened it to pages 411. I didn't know the verses or chapters at all, and it talked about this guy named Jehoahaz who is King of Judah and reigned over his kingdom for 3 months, but another king came and taxed his people and threw Jehoahaz in jail and Jehoahaz was 23 years old. And I was 23 years old.
(Second Part to the story) How was it that I spoke to God about meeting someone with the same interests as me? Then I met her, and she tells me about a portion of the Bible in Revelations. I get the bible from her, I wake up at 4:11am three times, I looked at the bible pages 411 and see this guy Jehoahaz King of Judah was 23 years old?
How was all of that a coincidence all at once? There is no way I would have been able to articulate that concept whatsoever for this being to lead me to this Bible after I spoke initially. How is that concept possible?
I could have spoken to any girl, and I never had any interest in any girl after I spoke to this being. It could have been anyone with different interests or possibly the same interests without a Bible, but I didn't turn away. It could have been a guy with the same interests and could have been my friend, but it wasn’t. I could have ignored the times that I woke up, but I didn't. I could have rejected the Bible she gave me, but I didn't. It could have been a woman from india, africa, china, turkey, etc. Why her? It could have been the Koran, the Vedas, or any other form of scripture, but why the Bible?
How did this being answer me? Why did this being answer me? Who was this being?
I began to read the Bible for 4 hours straight and found so many things that had to deal with my past, and present experiences that my mind was racing so fast, and my heart began to change immediately. I never experienced anything like this before. My mind and heart was literally being renewed. Tears began to come out of my eyes though I was not sad, happy or anything. I did not understand what was happening, I just knew I was changing. I called my sister and told her I think I found God, and I explained to her everything that happened, and she was crying. I had tons of pornography movies that I had burned on to CD’s and I threw them out. During this time, I did not understand who God was and His understanding of life. I was like a newborn baby that just came out of the womb learning for the first time. Even though I explained to my friend what was happening to me, he asked for a couple of CD’s, which I did give to him, but I did not understand during this time if it was right or wrong. I just knew I had to get rid of the CD’s, and I did not know later that scripture talks about lust of the flesh.

Instead of saying "can we please get more evangelicals like Ray"... say, God can you make me an evangelical like your servant Ray? I LOVE what Ray said in one of his videos.. (talking about having fear to evangelize) he said, don't pray to God to have less fear, pray to Him to have more Love! Maan! That really got to me because I'm always nervous to evangelize to people but when I ask God to help me love them like HE loves them, makes ALL the difference!💙😊
Ray knows what he is doing.
Martin Luther born Nov 10, 1483, made claims against his own Church that Jesus founded (the Catholic Church), that donations (indulgences) discouraged Christians from true repentance and sorrow for sin. He argued that WORKS; giving to the poor, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick and other WORKS of mercy is a must do for salvation. When he starts his own Protestant movement, he proclaims by faith alone is a person saved, NOT WORKS. Taking large donations from those looking for salvation by Faith alone. To this day millions still follow this hypocrite.

Planting the seed is the easy part and just planting a seed really doesn't do much of anything.
There definitely is an Afterlife. Before I got saved, I was living in sin. I went to church maybe once a year and I never really spoke to my kids about Jesus. My 4 year old daughter woke up one morning and told me that Jesus came in her room, took her by the hand and took her to heaven where she saw my grandmother there who died 2 years ago. She even went into details and said Jesus was wearing white clothes and white hair. I googled Jesus description and it took me to the book of Revelation 1:14 which said Jesus is dressed in white clothing and his hair was white as wool or snow. I never even knew that until she said it, and we live in Canada where it's not taught in schools and we don't attend church so how else would she have known that. I got saved that very day and my life ever since has been all about Jesus Christ my saviour!
Amen! Thanks for sharing your story!

This is why you never judge a book by it's cover. These dudes have good souls, they just need to be brought out of bondage 💚
I don’t agree they have “good” souls. If they did they wouldn’t need Christ. “No one is good, not even one. Lest any man should boast.” You are right in that they need set free of their bondage as do all sinning human beings. Amen and God bless.

I felt the Spirit of God strong regarding that last young man with the tattoo by his eye. He was so emotional and so jumpy and he was trying to keep from crying. He was definitely moved and in the end he said it all, "God sent you to talk to me. 💞❤️
All these young men were respectful. I Believe you touch each one of them in a different way. Jesus surround them with your peace that passes all understanding. May you continue to open up Their Hearts wide, so that they can feel your love for them. Lord Jesus continue to guide them to you and make mighty Warriors for your kingdom in Jesus name!

All of these men respectfully listened… it is perfectly fine that they had questions. The last gentleman seemed like he was truly trying to make sense of the things he’s heard before compared to what Ray was teaching him. May he stay focused on the gospel and the truth of the Word so everything else can began to have clarity. So many of us can relate to his questions and I applaud all of them for hanging in for the conversation and truthfully answering Ray’s questions. Wonderful interviews!

They don’t seem like gang members to me. Just handsome, young black men with tattoos. It’s clear some of them have a Christian background as well. Of course I don’t know their past, but that aside, I really appreciate the advice about using apologetics as the bait and going back to the gospel always.
Yeah I think rays just refering to their appearance. That many may be scared to go talk to them. I'm scared to go talk to any random strangers to talk about Jesus, but rays just saying to go with a dog that has sunglasses and you can evangelise to any type of character! God bless you in Jesus name
Aerial Productions Charlotte how do you appear to be a gang member?
♥️
The type of tattoos they have are what indicate gang activity.
I believe these guys have love, but possibly where they live, they are forced to be tough. I've known many thugs who are tough guys that WILL kill, but they have a genuinely beautiful heart that is covered by the fear of being trampled upon or taken for granted.
The toughest looking guys are always surprisingly the most respectful and honest when I whiteness. Praying for these guys! Hope to see them in heaven!

What beautiful and intelligent young men.

Ray, through your faithfulness, the Holy Spirit is truly able to work wonders ❤️
Exactly....it's as miraculous as getting "2 of all those animals in the same place..." ❤❤
@@Hrd4😬 that’s a little far
@Hrd4 are you comparing those young men to animals?
Yes, amen! I hope someone else gives them the fullness of the Truth. Unfortunately Ray has not got that yet. Ray, when you speak of the Passover, the Biblical necessity to put blood on the door and necessity to eat the unblemished lamb in order for the angel of death to passover your home, then when Jesus begins his public ministry John the Baptist references Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God", and Jesus Himself says emphatically & repeatedly, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life within you." And then the night before Jesus' death He broke Bread with his Apostles and commanded them, "Do this in memory of me" How can you ignore Jesus' command which is so clearly what happens at every Catholic Mass thru His Priesthood that has literally been handed on from the 12 Apostles on up to the present-day. Why would you, as a Protestant, reject this central mystery of Jesus Christ of receiving the Body and Blood, offered in the appearance of wine and bread, just as Jesus did at the Last Supper and commanded us all to do? You speak of hell often, but have you no fear of God for rejecting what is most central to Revelation? Surely you are aware that for the first 1,500 years of the Church this celebration of the Eucharist, the Body & Blood of Christ, in the Divine Liturgy, i.e. the Catholic Mass was what ALL Christians did until Fr Martin Luther, a German Catholic priest, rebelled and without any authorization from God - protested the Catholic Church and started his own church and now there are thousands of splintered, divided Protestant "Christian" churches that, along with you, reject the Eucharist and priesthood of Jesus Christ and new covenant of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?
God bless you Ray.
I pray that the seeds that was planted with these young men will grown and flourish God have mercy and save them.🙏
@Free Thinker Everyday you wake up and draw breath is grace and mercy.. You were born into this world in Love, even though you adopted hate [same as every man].
God gave his only begotten son as a living sacrifice so that through Him, men would escape the bondage of sin and have everlasting life after we pass from this world.
Everything *good* you can marvel at and behold in this world is because of God. If He extends His grace and mercy out for the wicked, after we sin and rebel against Him countless times. How can God be evil ?
"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
1 John 1:5
@Free Thinker You're thinking about it wrongly here friend. The point is, He didn't have to do it, but He loved the world so much that He did it so losts souls wouldn't eternally have to be lost for their sins.
@Free Thinker I didn't say that. Now you're putting words in my mouth friend. Also, if God supported slavery, he wouldn't have freed the Hebrew Israelites [who were slaves] from the Egyptians through Moses.
I'll reiterate my first point:
Everyday you wake and breath is mercy on your life. Everything good in life that you marvel and behold at is the grace and goodness of God.
Rejoice that you woke up today. Rejoice that you aren't homeless. Rehoice that you may have had a meal today, rejoice that you aren't blind or deaf. Rejoice.
Yes life can suck sometimes, and yes it could be better [or worse], but be glad you have it.
Seek God diligently. He is real and He loves you more than you have ever been loved. Seek Him and He'll reveal Himself to you in a unique way.
God Bless
@Free ThinkerGod let Israel be free from Egypt who held them slave, but yeah a nitpicker would only talk about what he wants to fit his agenda just like you.
@Free Thinker I've spoken to you before. You're deceived, and it's sad. I care about you and I want you to inherit eternal life. I've told you how. Your pestering is to no avail, so why waste your effort?
We share the gospel because we care about people. How much would you have to hate a man, if you knew you had the cure for his terminal illness, and didn't share it with him?
When Ray said to the young man at the end, "thanks for talking to me, and not getting mad with me" then the young man says "no God sent you to talk to me real quick". That put a tear in my eye, and a lump in my throat.
God Bless, from Kelly in Scotland xx
Idc how bad you may think you are when the holy Spirit convicts you it can break anyone down in tears but goes to show how much he loves you and how desperately he wants you to change
I always wondered if I was still saved even though I still had my sinful thoughts. Someone told me that because I was so worried about it and it showed that I was truly repentant. Thank you Lord for sending your son cleanse me of my sins. And thank you Ray and Kirk and the rest of your team for doing what you do every day. God bless everyone who reads this
Thank-you for saying that. I struggle with the same worries. What you said helped me alot.
I know this is a late reply, but you two should both do a serious study of the Book of Romans (and pay special attention to chapter 7). You’ll see that all of us-even the Apostle Paul, through whom the Holy Spirit wrote about 2/3 of our New Testament-struggle with sinful desires. We’ll even inevitably give way to those sinful desires at times. Indeed, this flesh is inseparable from sin. The key is to put to death the misdeeds of our flesh through engagement to the Spirit.
It’s a constant battle in which we cannot triumph whilst still bound by this imperfect flesh. Though it is incumbent on us to fight onto death, we are ultimately too weak. The Good News, though, is that our King-who heads His troops as does a loving husband his wife in the face of imminent danger-is unshakeable. For what, after being broken, can say to that which broke it, “you hold no power over me!”? Is not the act of breaking, in and of itself, the demonstration of one thing’s power over the other? And now, did not Christ utterly destroy death through his Resurrection from the dead? Therefore, my friends, Jesus holds complete authority over death. And as such, death holds no power over us; we who are in Him.
Though our own battles must persist-as perseverance produces character and character hope; hope giving rise to trust (Faith) through which we are justified-we must fret not. The war was finished on the cross with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Fix your eyes upon Him, and the rest of you will fall in line.
Certainly we must produce good fruit in keeping with repentance, but that repentance comes naturally once we begin loving Him in the same way that He loved us. Recognize that He laid down his life for us and that He now calls us to do the same for Him. Though, again, sin is unavoidable to some extent, we must fight it with all that we are. When it comes down to it, what’s more important: the undying love of your Redeemer or the fleeting pleasures of sin which merely beckon you toward death? The Spirit inside of you knows the answer; so listen to it.
When you do inevitably stumble, remember why it is that Christ died for us. Don’t beat yourself up too much, for after all, if His death didn’t atone for sin yet to be committed, we’d all be screwed (and, of course, we’re not). Simply pray earnestly for forgiveness when need be, and keep on keeping on.
All of our many thanks be to Christ, now and forever more. Amen.
Its not us that earns righteousness, but Christ in us that makes us righteous. I sometimes mess up but i repent and try my best to stay away from sin.
The Word of God says “For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.” Proverbs 24:16
That righteousness of Christ is what helps us be victorious over sin and its all a work in progress(not an excuse for sin but a means to be more holy). God is so good
God Bless you sister 🙏💙
I love these young men's willingness to listen and consider the truth of the good news . Ray has a powerful gift for leading people into all truth .
Exactly why you can’t judge off appearances. The guy that says “God sent you to talk to me real quick” looks on the surface like he would be the most against it but was the most receptive. The guy with the shades is the most clean cut and approachable looking yet he was the most against the message. Just shows how you have to get to know people before you can make assessments.
Thats why the bible says judge righteously not by the outer appearance.
@@seanomowele229 great scripture! I've read the book of John and that line escaped me. Amazing how so many people think wisdom like "don't judge a book by its cover" is just worldly wisdom and it comes straight from the bible. Blessings to you!
@@inmyhumbleopinion_ God bless you brother!
Sooo VERY TRUE! 🎯 I use have a problem with doing that years ago.
Every chain can be broke through JESUS... With our ministry there are many that had this same past, however God always has a way to reach through our faults and wrong choices. Remember tests become testimonies through Jesus Christ. Sometimes it might be the next generation that learns from our mistakes, however God's plans are perfect and lead to salvation! AMEN....
I receive that!!
I have a question was Jesus black or white??? and if you lie me I go catch you 👍

@@kiiza2886 I just saw a video of Billy Graham back in the day talking about Jesus' skin color, it was on an Ellis Titus Smith, or something like that name, he does RUclips shorts and is a conservative black you tuber. Anyway Graham goes on to say that His skin color was neither white nor the darkest of shades, but something probably more like the middle eastern peoples color of that day. Be blessed, my friend!
Raised in Compton, California and living there from the 70's to 90's and having family members that were gang members I see where these guys are.
The 3 tear drop tattoo on his face means he has killed 3 people. These guys are the real deal when it comes to gangsters.
When Ray asked him what did God to to save sinners, the man's eyes started to blink rapidly and you could see it touched him when the truth came out of his mouth.
God bless you Ray, God is using you to teach us. Blessings brother
How can killing another human being be a symbol of pride?
@@felliesweetie
It's the life of a gang member. Intimidation is the main factor for the teardrop tattoo.
Placing fear into others, so that there is no attempt in fighting you, but yet at the same time they still know it's wrong that's why it's a tear drop. In the streets Feliciana, it is kill or be killed. Normally it's always with rival gang members who are always fighting against each other. Most fights are rare because it normally ends up being that everyone carries a gun.
The fact that it took you getting beat up to join a gang is one thing, but getting out of a gang normally ends up in death. Killing someone for trying to kill you is seen as survival.
Each teardrop is 1 year in prison
@@felliesweetie probably the same way a rapist is proud of himself for having control over a helpless human being. They’re just sick
Actually the original meaning of the tear drop was a prison sign of humiliation of being raped and becoming someone’s property. Then I’ve seen where the outline of a tear was 1 year and a fully colored in tear was 10 years in the pen. I was also raised in southern Cali, born in Norwalk so we were neighbors.

Street ministry is so fascinating! I love that you can witness the battle of flesh and spirit. ITS REAL!
Hallelujah, The Holy Spirit was convicting these guys hard!
9:09 ... And almost 45 years later I’m now understanding the concept of conception from Adam and Eve and beyond how they were inter married. They were no law then so it wasn’t a sin.
There wanst a law but God defenitly did have a purpose. How he meant things to be
I don't know what or whom helped you to understand but I am glad that you do. A lot of things such as that causes some people to really discredit or not believe the bible.
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5:13-14 KJV

Couldn’t God have just made more people and placed them in other places nearby? It doesn’t specify that He did not create any more people, if I remember correctly
I have a lot of tattoos, muscle mass and a shaved head. It’s actually quite easy for me to spark up conversations with Tough guys in my area. They always feel like I’m genuine. I don’t look like a Choir boo so they listen. Sometimes we judge a book by a cover and when clean cut “stereotypical” Christians approach us, we assume they are out of touch, maybe born into a nice Christian family (which we obviously don’t know until we talk to them). I honestly think my calling is to preach the Gospel to these types and possibly Prison Ministries. Thank you Living Waters for being a tool I’ve used to begin sharing the Gospel!
I love how at the very end, the young man said to Ray, "God sent you to talk to me about this!" Praying for all three of them, plus the others that didn't come on camera. Ezekiel 36:26.
"God sent you to talk to me real quick". That's a sign he's been waiting for. Praise God!
I like how Ray make it crystal clear when the individual try to justify who they think they are. So many people live the lie thinking that they will enter into heaven because they think they are a “good “person. There’s none good but ONE!
