YES AND AMEN LORD IN 2024
So I have this testimony. I believed in God but I did very little to acknowledge Jesus.
I knew Jesus is the Son of God but I doubted his existence. Then and there I was filled with fear, shame and anxiety. I was terrified.
So I asked Jesus if I was doing it wrong and how to make it right. I believe, help my unbelief. And Jesus restored my faith in Him. He answered through Tom Evans message power of unbelief.
I am not going to miss salvation. Jesus has restored all the spiritual weapons in my life which Paul was talking about.
Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
I have just given my life to Christ recently and something God has been wanting me to understand is His Love. If you don’t understand God’s Love it is going to be very hard for you to put your faith in Him.
Thank you for saying that. I think that's what I'm experiencing right now. I'm having a big faith crisis and when I get down to it I'm scared to trust that God loves me. Terrified.
Just a little but huge correction you do not give your life to Christ but receive Life from him because he died so that his life can be your life because we had died in sin and had no life of our own.
How's your walk going?
@@sullyvynsilas9340 you still make a decision to surrender let's not minimize her confession to play games with eloquent speech as Paul said. ;)
@@somethingwitty2188 no no how can i minimize such a huge thing/decision, i pray that that she stays strong and is strengthened so we can all be together in the kingdom of our Lord.
I used to struggle with loving humans/people, and myself... I used to even struggle with understand His love for me. This year God called me to Him and helped me see love around me using my sister and friends. I have never been this close to Him before and when I tell you I've never felt so loved, that I am even loving myself. Even friends I haven't seen in a while say I am so loving these days it weirded them out. I am learning to love people, I never thought I'd be able to. Glory be unto God, our wonderful Father.❤
When he asked, "How far along are you?" I rolled.
PLEASE PRAY FOR MY SISTER AND THAT SHE HAS MORE FAITH IN GOD✝️👑
My sister tooo !
I cried out to the Lord because I never really experienced love and don't know how to and not even 2 hrs later I come across this. Prayers are answered quick. Thank you God! I never heard a sermon like this one.. I will listen to this a couple of times again and again. Thank you for your service, Sir. God bless you 🙏🏽.
Learning to love others; strangers, homeless people starts with praying for these people. Praying for hundreds and thousands who suffer from disorders, diseases. When you sit in a parking lot and start praying for that one there, that pedestrian… you’ll love people then when you start somewhere and continue it daily. God will bless you richly when you love others.
Amen!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful! Amen!
The devil cant “make” us mean and “nasty” he can only label us with those labels. HALLELUJAH!!
I’ve never heard this guy but man oh man this message was 🔥 as the youngins say
You can say that again
Yes it’s full of God
Tony Evans is the Truth
He's great!
KEEP LISTENING. DR EVANS IS THE REAL DEAL. GET YOUR BIBLE READY AND STRAP IN FOR SOME HOLY GHOST TRUTH!
This sermon changed my life ❤
Praise His name!
Yeah great. Except that God ordained the fall for a greater end; He didnt respond to fix it afterward.
33:30 is the key to this. Love and truth must go together. You don’t love someone by going against God’s word. You love them by supporting God’s word.
Very true
I have always understood it that Love and Truth are one in the same, another words, Synonymous. My understanding of the very words we get from the Gospels when the Christ spoke the words; "I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE". The translation for my understanding is that he basically said that he is God, by using the name of God , he then lets us know that he is Love in the same sentence. After listening to this great message from Tony Evans, it truly helps to confirm what we already know in our Faith, Love, and Hope , The Way to an eternal Truth and Love with our creator is to follow or at least seek out Love. That can only be found from one source. The Christ.
I can speak with the tongue of man and angels but if I don’t have love I’m just a clanging symbol! This is a message that needs to be preached every Sunday nowadays… we in the body of Christ really don’t know what it means to truly love like God. I love this man so much ❤ I pray I get to sit in his congregation one of these days 😢🙌🏾🙌🏾
Want a reward give a reward
Want help be help
Want love be love
God so loved the World that He stooped down to our level by becoming one of us to show us exactly what's it's like to live like we were created in His image that we might step up to His level and live as we were intended to live all along. Amen
Love is long-suffering
Love is omnipotent
Love is victorious
Love is eternal
❤
Like- is a feeling
Love(agape)- a decision to compassionately, righteously, responsibly seek the best for one another
This was Great
"God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." (1 John 4:16) I love this message. God bless you all ❤️
Do you want to understand more of Gods love. Obey your spirit blindly, as a child does their parents. And have faith and trust in God that He wont lead you down the wrong path. It will build your faith to the max and you may learn to have mercy on all.
I gotta mental problem i
Hope God Make it go away please get negative thoughts away from my head it's the worst,God watched me since a baby boy and he never helped I love him so much how come he ain't fight a great fight for me, How come I ain't gotta better understanding in life for God, God why do you put your strongest Soldiers through so much they say the strong only survive so was i created to be weak or what god created me how was I created to be weak. Strength is God how come I ain't got strength like on some God Level type of stuff I can't be bigger than God because he's the Greatest is it hard being God I'm always praying though it's hard to battle I'm like God it's very hard,It's easy to do Evil stuff but it's very hard to Positive things even when I went to church it hurt my body when I'm praising God so hard my body starts to hurt really really bad
So you telling me David dropped bodies but it say though shall not kill , steal or destroy in the bible,but David dropped bodies for God
I went to a Baptist church and my body was hurting when I was praising God hard it hurted really really bad clapping my hands hard very hard
@@trvp_biggucci9226 stuff like this confuses me as well. I try to not look at the Bible as completely inerrant and perfect, though, I believe Jesus is the true and perfect revelation of God and He preached nothing but pure love - that’s what I believe. And what’s so incredibly reassuring is, Jesus assured everyone that the Father loves us all dearly and cares for us - even when we can’t see it. I assure you friend, God is with you always, and loves you so much. ❤️ You are amazing dear sibling, so much love from afar, from my heart, truly
Amen! APTTMH!!
Praise God I'm from Assam India serving Jesus Christ in Assam pray for Assam to be save ❤️
I so dislike the ads during a sermon- especially a powerful sermon as this one. Thank you Lord for Your Word!
1 John 5:3
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
Thank u Father God for u and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit
Amen😇
Amen! ❤️
Amen! Hallelujah!
Oh PRAISE GOD! THANK YOU LORD FOR CHOOSING ME TO BE PART OF THIS GREAT LOVE AFFAIR.
Teach me to Love like you Jesus ❤
Thank You
Thank you pastor Evans for such a powerful message of God's love. God bless you.
How do you personally show God your love?
Love doesn’t seek attention it seeks equality.
It’s not selfish to love yourself. Before you even bring the trinity up, God wants us to love ourselves first. You have to love yourself before you can ever love anyone else. He was teaching us self love first, by being love and not having anyone else because he is love and self love is love. Then you can move on to loving someone else, but self love comes first. God is great❤
So very true❗️
Thank you✝️🙏🙌🏼 Thank God for your Word and teaching today🙌🏼 please God continue to use Tony Evans to teach the masses and help us to hear and receive your Word in Jesus name ✝️🙏 Awesome message! God is love!
Stand up for the truth, not the culture! Amén 🙏🏾
All I want to say is thankuu Pastor Tony
Matthew 22:23-40 ♥ It starts Vertically from Heaven 👆🏾 to 🌎 earth and spans out Horizontally to others across the board! 🌅 📖 ➕

HalleluYah Amen Blessed
God is love 😚😘
Powerful preacher
Amen 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
That's a good one...God's going to treat us the way we treat others....wow.
Amen 🙏 brother
Now I can define Glory.
What is Glory?
Amen 🙏 🙏
I am blessed 🙌
Listened to this while i slept really helped me
Oh wow! This is the best thing I have ever heard! Praise the Lord Jesus! Thank you pastor for this deep word!
Amazing....Pure and Simple....
New Christians may mistake the last couple of minutes for earning our way into Heaven. Just remember Tony's "extra credit" example occurs AFTER salvation. We don't earn extra credit to get into heaven. We must be covered by the blood of Jesus. The extra credit is for Christian's rewards in heaven. This entire message is so amazing and very needed in my heart in these days.
I had the same thought....it is such a good message to share with family and friends but I dont want them to misinterpret that part 😔
Can you explain this further I’m confused, by Christian’s rewards in heaven do you mean the glory we give to God and heaven by staying loving?
@@CurtisDAcker I was referring to people who think the better they behave the bigger their chance of getting into heaven. Rather than understanding all they need for salvation is belief and unity in Christ. The difference creates different focuses in life. If my goal is unity with Christ my life truly begins to bring Him glory because I seek out what that means in the Bible. But if I just try to be good and earn my way in, I may be mislead by social justice causes that pull me away from unity in Christ.
Wow @ 37:55. I have an interview today. Thank you my Lord.
How did it go?
Love Conquers All

Yes!!! Loving the way God loves is the only way! Lord, thank you for this gift; help us to stay in this place of love!
In the month of February let’s all love like God
God is love and he is sooo good. I love God. ❤
They don't wanna hang out with a backslider.... a lot of times we don't know their stories, that's why we are not God and we are told to not judge. I so agree when you love without truth.. love them back in like God loved him or her back in...❤ judge the sin I totally agree, yet love the brother or sister in Christ Jesus
Spitting fire slowly slowly
God loved us before everything was created because we were in his thoughts, we were in his plan.
Tony Evans deserves a seat right next To God and Jesus in Heaven . This man is too blessed and anointed for his own Good. This is beyond me🤭
Tony is my favorite He's one of the best truth tellers of Scripture as I know.
Thank you Lord for allowing me to be apart of the Love fest ❤
"You talk about being blessed but how were you a blessing?"
Preach it sister!!!!
PREACHHHHHHHHH IT!!!! DR EVANS!!!!

Pastor Evans is a blessing to listen to he helps me get my acts. toghter
I can bear witness that OCBF is loving. I started reaching out for prayer in May of 2020. They were very welcoming and prayed for me all of 2020.
Abba Father...Abba Father...Abba Father....wow!
I love you Tony
Tony Evans...always good stuff
Truth!
I don't even watch sermons and today I just felt that I should search what does God's love mean, and I honestly wasn't expecting this... ..it's beautiful, another thing I'd love us to remember that we all human whether black or white, female or male, we are all humans
Mr. EVANS, YOU DAUGHTER IS JUST LIKE YOU. ITS LIKE WHEN YOU SEEN ME YOU'VE SEEN MY FATHER... MR. T.E. YOU HAVE DONE GREAT. In Jesus Name. "Priscilla " thank God you are A GREAT FATHER
Wow awesome word that we need to hear. Just got a spiritual spanking 😂😂 we have to getting loving more but loving with the truth.
Pastor Evans, I had so many questions about what is written in the Bible and with each of your sermons you have been able to explain scripture so I now have a better understanding. I am blessed by God's truth through the Holy Spirit working through you. I thank God for me accidently tuning into you on FB. My life becomes so much happier and filled with the Holy Spirit each time I hear you speak the truth. Praise God for giving you your spiritual gifts to share with others!
HI SIS! I HAVE BEEN LISTENING ALL OF 2020 FOR ENCOURAGEMENT AND INSPIRATION. HE'S A GOOD TEACHER.
👏👏👏👏👏👏❣❣❣Thank You!!Loving One Another!!🥰
You made me cry(in a good way) with this sermon and it’s such a blessing to have found OCBF because I felt the love when I first walked thru the door. ❤️🙏
I needed this Word! I could not figure out how to love unloveable people until I realized I’m loving God by showing compassion towards them feeding them clothing them and showing deeds of love to them not because they deserve it but because I love God and I am in a love fest with God; not in a love fest with flesh (flesh that will return to dust) Praise the Lord Praise be to Jesus! I am being set free! 2022 & then on gone be a love fest in Jesus name AMEN!
