BEWARE OF THE WANDERING MIND--OVERCOME YOUR EMPTINESS TODAY BECAUSE GOD WANTS YOUR FULL ATTENTION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- One of the greatest dangers we face each day as believers is slowly allowing God’s influence over our lives to wane. This condition makes God weightless in our lives. He no longer weighs upon every thought, every choice, and every action of our day.
I wonder how many of us this morning really think that this message is for us. Before we dive in, perhaps we should do a little test for what may be called:
THE GREAT DISCONNECT
First, we think, what is the title of today’s message? The Discipline of Time: “Rejecting Profane & Empty Living” (1 Timothy 4:7a)
“Hmmm”, we think, “not sure that I am involved in anything profane (whatever that is), or that I am living in any way that is empty”.
So, that means I don’t have to really think much about the next 45 minutes. Right?
That is the exercise that takes place, almost unconsciously across America in Bible-teaching churches each week. People sit there, notice the topic, do a quick assessment, and tune in to other thoughts while they sit through the message.
But now, we need to go on and do the test to determine whether God has become “weightless” in our lives. This test is simple:
How much do God and His Word, directly challenge me,
into changing the way I think and act on a daily basis?
IS GOD WEIGHTLESS IN YOUR LIFE?

• BEWARE OF THE WANDERIN...
Praying for everyone battling mental fight.. its a spiritual fight too. Keep the faith guys! God is with us at all times! We are conquerors in Christ Yahshua!
Your exactly right. Spiritual fight. Spot on. It all takes time. Patience is key. Don't give up. Look around you. See what's happening in this 8 billion people world.. The lord is near. So is his sword. Repent your sins. By the way you can take something with you when you die.... People.
.Spread the word.
Very true sister, I have countless of sleepless nights because of such spiritual welfares during late nights. I will pray for you dear sister in hopes that Jesus will protect us from such mental battles, in the mighty of Jesus, Amen ♥️🙏
Amen

Amen 🙏
I thought that I was boring and jaded for not being a fan of comic book movies, anime, whatever is trending on Reddit, social media and whatever is on Netflix. I felt like it was all pointless, not necessary, a waste of time and emotional attention. I thought, well what ARE my interests? I see by this lesson that I should fill the void with God.
Me too, we just have been protected! Only what goes to heaven has real value!
AMEN
Just what I’m battle right now, anger and depression and allowing negative thoughts and emotions to just drain me…I need to listen to this tonight
I am going through the same feelings.
I think this is a battle most of us are having. I too battle those feelings!
Focusing on Jesus and His Word and not on man an circumstances is the best remedy!
I think always of the vers:
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the rest will be added to you"
All means All including the peace that surpasses all understanding,....
Look to Jesus! Not the entertainment of the world. 🙏♥️
@@DS-ll5fn Thank you.
Me to my friend. This world weights us down, but be not of this world. Bless you and your fight for the truth.
Your peace is in Jesus Christ!!!
Where have you been? I stumbled upon you......was gonna say by accident. We both know it isn't accident. Thank you Lord for this message and the messenger.
How is that an unemployed individual like myself can spend at least sixteen waking hours doing anything BUT reading/studying the Scriptures? Time to put away the distractions. Thanks for the wake-up call. God bless!
I have been asking myself the same question. 61 retired and alone. How can I spend my 16 waking hours today?
SAME! Just not unemployed.
@@Rick-ih7wp I pray that our Father will take away the distractions in your life to further know God and His goals for us, in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen 🙏💖
The Lord woke me up. I now read the Bible, listen to Dr. Barnett & others. No more games & a lot less TV. Thank you Lord Jesus.
It’s crazy how bad we stay that way ! I am fully guilty of that! There is coming a shaking that only Those’s who are trusting God will stand! Lord help me to learn to stand in truth of your word !
Thank you for always bringing us back to our Lord.
@ 37 minutes! 🤔😮Food for thought! As always, I am fed with God's lessons, warning, love, mercy, guidance and the lists continues.. as I view/listen to DTBM, it's an amazing blessing, I am grateful. Colossians is filled with instructions to seek the LORD first and foremost. 💝🙌
Hi pastor Barnett, please pray for me to keep fighting the good fight, not to let God down, and not to lose my loved ones, thank you God bless you and your wife
This video will be my inspiration for daily meditation.
For daily Bible Study. Let your meditation be on God's Word.
Biggest problem is deception which is absence of faith in Jesus Christ. Time to pray like never before 😢 We are watching the beginning of the end.
Oh, dear brother,, what solidity and securing these words offer.
Yes! There is the reversal! Turn from, neglect the world because the most Lovely Jesus Christ is my devotion. May the weight of His hand, placed on me, be continual Presence, Refuge and Restraint, that Holy Spirit indwells fuller and fuller within me
I would like to copy this, passing it along. Perhaps a lost sheep,would take heart. God bless,John ezell
This man’s intelligence is off the charts. But he may not realize many cannot keep up. More scripture linked to itself as verification would help the lame in mind. Scripture cuts through and plants seeds. Just fruit for thought. I’m glad I found this channel. G-d bless 🔥
John Barnett teaches much longed for 'meat of the word' - milk of the word can be found anywhere...
Oh the rewards of delighting myself daily in Gods Word. It’s life transforming and healing. He is the only way, the truth and the life. In the Holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen

I live in Minneapolis. I listen to your sermons almost every day. As I was walking today I saw a Calvery Bible Church van from Kansas!
I'm sharing this message with anyone that I know🤍 thank you dear Lord Jesus for this vessel that brought this message to me in Jesus Mighty Warrior Name AMEN 🙌🙏🤍😇🤍☺️🤍
Wow... Interesting the timing of this message.
Great message. To God be the glory!🙌🙌👑❤🙏
Love you pastor Barnett. Please pray for me. Joshua from ft Lauderdale Florida
Thank God for you pastor John
God bless you Monsieur Barnett! Merci beaucoup, thank you my Lord Jesus🙏🙏🙏
THANK YOU, JESUS. I know you always talk to me in different ways.
❤🇮🇱💙pray for Jerusalem! Pray for saints to stand strong in his word! Pray for us to walk away from distractions! Not to give way to fables! ❤ pray for USA ! Pray for us to stand with Israel! Also pray for people to come to complete truth!
Pray,Prepare and preach to our family, and friends in name of our Lord Christ Jesus.
Excellent, timely message. Distraction to real life seems to be enemy 's greatest weapon. Thank you for saying/preaching the difficult things that need to be said to His people.
Yes, careful with electric conic in our whole lives📜
This was completely for me. But I’m finding it hard to get back on track. I truly need God’s help.
The more I learn about history and past events, the more I realise that nothing has changed, throughout time except technology
Deuteronomy 8:3
3 And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
I’m being convicted. Thank you lord.
I know I have an empty life . I know that my relationship with God has seriously been depleting this last 6 months . I'm living with my daughter and her young family and her husband who doesn't believe in God and if I dare say anything about God , he mocks me or makes rude comments about God . This makes me very uncomfortable and I have argued with him about it in the past . I don't have much choice on where I live right now and I'm falling into depression over this . I've only been saved 3 yrs and don't know the Bible as much as I want to . Having quiet time or time alone is very hard . I need God and I want the Lord in my life so abundantly and like it was in the beginning. Full of joy and spirit filled . I need prayer . I need Jesus . I need prayer.
I want to thank you for these informative and eye-opening lessons also .
Praying that God and His Word become more precious to you than anything else, in Jesus' name. There's a song with the sentiment, keep your eyes upon Jesus, and the things of this world grow strangely dim. Jesus chose to die rather than live without us!!! He wants a loving personal relationship with us that I believe no human can provide us with. I'm praying we all are drawn to seek more time to be with our True Love; the lover of our souls, that we may know Him and follow Him more closely moment by moment.
Praying for you 🙏✝️
A MOST important and wonderful sermon. THANK YOU!
What an awesome discussion, thanks preacher
Subscriber for a couple of months. Hours and hours of programming all seemingly for me, and yet for us all.
Hours and hours of functional or object-oriented ?
I thought the same thing. Amazing how the lord works through you
Thanks y’all ❤
I remember around 15 yrs ago watching a couple of teenage girls who looked like they were w/their g'parents. The entire time, these girls played on their tablets. Totally ignoring these g'parents, who didn't have any tech gadget. I told my wife, my gosh this is what we've become now w/techn. No interaction w/the older generation, bc they're more fascinated w/the new shiny object. We make our girls always put their gadgets, phones, etc. down at b'fast or dinner, so we can connect as a family about each others day.
..a very well presented "important" topic, over which we who have believed, are believing, and will believe still,..need to pay attention to.
Are we all not presently in that exact moment? Are we all not in that eroded state?
Thank you for sharing this message!
This is excellent stuff. Thank God for this message
Amazing message as always!!!
When will we be longer opressed by demons. No more resisting, fighting, or being on the look out for the enemy. My very flesh is against me.
Only in the next world.
@@ApostateApostrophe42276 Please come Lord Jesus!
in heaven. satan is the prince of the power of the air. don't let religion or worldly teachings convince you that you can be free from all/ any forms of suffering. my experience has been seeking god for peace within it.
@@_ben_miller You did not answer the question. Just stated what I already know. I was eluding to the rapture or the Millennium reign of Christ. These will be the times when suffering become no more to those who are in Christ.
You asked "when will we be no longer oppressed by demons?". What part did I not answer?
Thank you Jesus I love you
In 12 minutes there were about 6 commercials,at least 1 very lengthy.Just want you to know why I did not watch this video for I suspect you are unaware of how the commercials are ruining some of your great teachings.Thanks and God bless
I agree. Many great Christian channels are non monetized. I really like the teachings but the ads are super annoying.
May I suggest Joe Schimmel at Blessed Hope Chapel. He is so Biblical and practical.
Grace and peace in Jesus 🙏
Utube has the control of commercials. As soon as commercial comes on you don't see the 5second count down. Then press the skip
Sorry, I'm confused.
I'm not seeing commercials, (not complaining)
Just Saying
@@naybreed I listen often while doing chores... It is annoying, while doing dishes, to skip ads! 😉😵💫
God is only testing your patience
That's all
Keep going it will all come together
Thanks Dr. Barnett.
You Tube, in case you aren't aware, has multiplied THEIR INTERRUPTIONS of your message!!! Not added - MULTIPLIED ....isn't it "ironic"???
Wish these didn't have ads on them.
Satan's battlefield is the mind
Quick question, are we to boycott and/or just not support obvious evil things? Things like companies, products etc?
I am guilty of not thinking of God all day, but I don't know how. I try to read the bible, I fall asleep. I try to watch a sermon like yours, I fall asleep. I tell demons and spirits to get out of my head, out of my mind, out of my body and my home, but still I fall asleep. Even yawning watching this sermon which I'm finding interesting, but don't know how to put it into practice. I have a farm game I play on my tablet, and have been quite consumed with it but have now cut it down to twice a day no more than 15 minutes and it's hard but am trying to cut down as I don't think Half an hour a day is too much or too bad or too consuming, but what can I replace it with if I fall asleep with everything g else?
Drive,walk, ride and listen. I love driving for hour because my mind needs to be alert so i can listen to scripture for hours.🙏✝️
I thought how do I think on things above and I thought I saw just a flash of Jesus face mangled and dark he looked at me with one eye. He looked like He was on the cross. I hope Jesus will let me know how to keep my mind on things above especially Him. Amen
When was this sermon given? He just mentioned like 3 things that are happening right now but he is much younger in this video I would think its around 10 years old. He mentioned the Ukraine and Syria which are happening now that seems odd
HOW IS IT that so many pastors are BLIND to the logo of the BITTEN APPLE on their computers!? At least put a STICKER over it!
I’ve been under attack for years please help me
The greatest gift from God, reinforced by Jesus, is our good health. This is what went wrong for Adam and Eve. They were born in perfect health but their lie began a genetic decline which we all participate in until its many faulty pathways become so confusing that there is no way back...except Jesus Christ's. We don't even know yet that it is our electromagnetic health that twists and buckles our genetics...or that Jesus will hold our many sins in abeyance whilst we repair...his way...righteously...and in time for Wormwood.
If I BELIEVE my house is on fire, I'm NOT going to sit there and finish my movie!
Which movie would you be watching?
@@Vlfkfnejisjejrjtjrie Are you saying that depending on which movie it was, you might sit there and finish it while your house burns down around you?
What I can't grasp is no matter how much I pray and read..... It does not stop intrusive thoughts. Are any of these preachers really honest about..... And part of this title Are u letting God help you.....? They make u feel worse listening to them
Amen 🙏
Ok so decorating my kitchen is profane- no not exactly. Wish he said it more rationally
He is trying to point out that Compared to our relationship with God, EVERYTHING else is mundane. For example,
if your house was on fire, watching your absolute Favorite movie would all of a sudden not be very important at all.
I hope that helps give some perspective as to what he's getting at.
Amen.
Talk about distractions from the Word … for some reason this pastor’s videos has more commercials than anything I watch. That just shows us how true this man’s preaching is.
PS: please understand that sarcastically mocking demonic oppression doesn’t mean you’re hopelessly/despairingly under the curse of that oppression
I don't care what ever they say about OPPRESSION here My life has changed already. Thank you Jesus. $32,000 weekly profit Our lord God have lifted up my Life!, Glory to the everlasting God Almighty.
❤️🙏🙏✝️
I think you need more commercials 😡
Your saying that you can not skip the commercial 5second count down . Besides utube has control of commercials
Much of the world headed to hell.
$62,000 biweekly profits, His grace is sufficient in my life!!!
I'm 28, how can I get financially stable as a Christian!!!
@@fernandaavery9614 The smiles on my family's face is heart warming, every week when I give the news that our $62,000 biweekly profit have been received to our digital assets portfolio.. God bless Mrs Olivia Renae Marks and her trading services
