My strong belief in Jesus has helped me overcome my addiction to sex, porn, masturbation and adultery. Every prayer has made me stronger and now i feel free, free of my addictions, free of my idols, free of my slavery
Yeah man thanks. Lust is something really hard to fight and you will often want to give up. I suggest you find a hobby like video gaming or working out. You will also need to remind yourself of how much damage it will do to your soul. I will pray for you and dont worry because god is here for you. :)

dominick Hodges god bless you
dominick Hodges Look up fight the new drug. It might help you.
+Dominick Hodges I prayed for you ! God bless !
When you have a relationship with God it hurts you to see such spiteful hurtful comments about him. He has so much hope and love for us that he even died for people knowing many of them would deny and mock him. Just goes to show how much he loves his children. Jesus is returning soon, repent and accept him into your life now before its too late. God bless.
***** amen pedro. It's hurts to see so many people so far away from the truth, but they have the right to their choice, and their choice must be respected.
Are you talking about Jeff because he isn't saying any hurtful things about God?
How do you know, because he said comments, comments aren't just something in under a video, until he says who "You" is, I won't know for certain.
After almost dying in the hospital this past week, God has made it very clear to me that he wants me to pursue him in ministry. You give me so much hope and encouragement. I'm 21, but I've never been more determined to do anything in my life. Thank you Jeff.
Me me me no him
go right on brother! take care!
The truth in this brought tears to my eyes
This is probably my favourite of your Spoken Word series, Jeff. You managed to sum up the nature of this fallen, broken world that offers us nothing but empty promises. Christ is the only one who delivers.
Amen!
Amen bro! 🙏❤✝
Amen brother Jeff, u nailed it in under 5 mins, what most human fools cant understand after a whole life time
"Idols they over-promise and under-deliver" This is sooooo true!!
I officially love poetry. God is good
Your poems are so motivating!!!!!!!
How can someone possibly not love Yeshua? If religious or not.
He was the most loving man ever to walk this earth!
+Football Skillz In fact he did never "walk this Earth". There is no evidence for that person. But i kind of like that fictional character of Jesus, I am have to give you that point. But it is the way you like Harry Potter, not the way you like your family.
+ph'nglui mglw'nafh cthulhu r'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
There's more evidence for Jesus' existence then Julius Caesar. One scholar once said "If we can know anything about history we know he died on a cross"
Remembering back in 2013 when I was so far from God but he kept calling me through these videos. Now it’s 2020 and I’m SAVED🙌🏼 thank you Jesus!
Everything you say is not only powerful and intense, but also the truth.
The emotion you place on each word adds another dimension to what you say, and it makes your whole theme inevitable; I love watching you preach from your heart!
Continue to walk in Jesus' path because you're truly blessed!
YOU are such an inspiration.......never stop what ur doing!!
Amen, My Brother in Christ!
"Treat my job like my wife, and my wife like a slave" This really just cuts at the heart! I think this poem can be equally applicable to women as well, just with different issues women struggle with. Thanks for speaking hard truths! :)
Those 4.32 minutes went by like 20 seconds, my heart just dropped. In a good way. Praise God.
Man I love your spoken word. Very authentic.
Dude you get me so pumped
I just want to say, thank you. I'm a girl that has lost faith long ago but watching your videos listening to your words it gives me hope. I doubt you'll ever read this but you are a true inspiration. And I want you to know you've made a difference in one broken girls life.
I wish all of humanity thought this way,
Realizng and accepting the words that you share
Breath taking, positive truth and with style!
Brought me to tears..
Thank you
How could someone dislike this video.
Sarah Kahn yes I'm not. I liked
You keep delivering the message GOD gives you brother I can't get enough of it! Stay hungry
7 years after first seeing this, I could significantly compare how I understood this message then, and now that I am following Jesus. And again sir, thanks for this.
I can even count how many times i got chills watching this.
Amen brother!
Jefferson, you are always on point my dude!

I just want to let you know that I just got out of prison, and I start everyday out with one of your videos. It helps me have strength and Hope, it gives me things to study on. Your a true inspiration to me , your words speak to me and help me everyday. Thank you.
Woah I like the music on this video. Makes it sound so much more mighty.
Well said...nothing but the cold hard truth!
This guy has opened my life even more i can't get enough
This guy never fails to give me chills
YOUR WORDS ARE SO POWEFUL I BEEN HAVING A LOT OF THINGS CROSSING MY MIND, I'M A SINGLE MOM TO A 2YR OLD BOY, I ATTEND CHURCH & I AM INVOLVED IN OUTREACHES ETC. BUT BECAUSE OF HOW THE WORLD PERTRAITS TO BE, I SOME TIMES FEEL THAT I AM FOOLING MYSELF BEING A CHRISTIAN?,. I RECENTLY GOT SAT DOWN FROM MINISTRY & HAVE SEEN THAT I HAVE HAD PUT OTHER THINGS BEFORE MY SON.. YOUR WORDS JUST HAVE A WAY TO LET US SEE TRUTH & CONVICT US, THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS YOU MAKE
Wow....i stubbled on to this gentleman, days ago and what a powerful witness. I have forwarded more of his amazing poetry that is speaks truth so creatively. In Jesus's name i pray that my family and friends may be more solid in truth and move forward in life with the Lord as their Savior. I know we should only boast in the cross, praise to God that uses us for good and sharing the gospel... so.thank you Jefferson Blake for being a faithful messenger.
Brought a tear to my eye man. God Bless you all
HE GETS TO THE CORE EVERYTIME THATS GOOD!!! GOD BLESS
I was reading Romans Chapter 1 last night, then for the first time watched this video for the first time tonight. Wow!
we've all traded the Creator for something created.
i have a celebrity idol in my life and i'm so obsessed with him. i went to his concert too. i knew it wasnt right but i ignored god and went anyway. during summer i grew closer to god and painfully deleted all my videos i took on that day. however, i enjoyed that day and i want to keep 4-5 pictures of that day as a memory, and i'm trying to feed on him less and less until i'm completely over him.
i feel like i should throw those pictures away too. But my flesh and spirit is battling so hard..
This is brilliant, praise God for speaking through this man!
Subscribed. Wish there were guys like Jefferson... "the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few" matt 9:37
Hey man, this is so cool. I'd seen your stuff on TV once but now I have this link! Keep on being close to the Father, so he'll keep reaching many through you..
I've memorized half his videos! His truth blows me away...
Jeff, thank you for these messages. They are so real and I feel God smiling. Beautiful words and wisdom that have so obviously come from your love for God and his love for you, have transferred into spreading love and wisdom to others around the world. That's a beautiful thing
I am a muslim but I LOVE LOVE watching your videos :)
There's no problem with that. I'm an atheist and I quite enjoyed it because despite the religious part of it, it speaks out the truth and what nowadays society has worst.
Cheers :)
MrCDinis
hey reality of the situation is that something beyond mankind is the ultimate... just look into it for yourself, dont take others interpretation for yourself ever.
Timothy Plumley
what do you mean by "dont take others interpretation for yourself"? ??
i mean read your own bible and then get into a group to discern the points being made.
But... I have no bible xD
good work well spoken
You are truly a living vessel. Even as a young woman and unmarried mother ...you encourage to never give up!
Jefferson, you're amazing and a blessing. praise God for creating you. I always learn something new while rewatching you. So much is God breathed. Thank you brother!
Hey guys! You can get my audiobook for free right now when u sign up for free trial at jeffbethke.com/audible
The power, the wisdom and most of all the love of God are in you. 1 Timothy 1:7 Please, always let yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit because this was a great example of how God works. God bless you💕✊✊
never mind the haters :)
This should be shown daily on the TV.God bless.
Your poems always hit me, and put me back in the right direction.
Wow looks like atheist's have nothing else to do but comment on videos on RUclips
+Tucker Thompson Yep. It is forbiden to learn about Jesus, even if i think he is myth!? It i like, if i said you cannot read about Zeus.
I can't look up to Jesus, I mean he gave up and just got nailed in the end hahaha
He's still looking at you.
And then he rose from the dead.
Gave up? You've got to be kidding me! If Jesus would have given up, he would have called on his father to send battalions of angels to save him! Gave up. Ha! You've got it twisted, bro. See, his mission was to die on the cross for us. He persevered and continued forward through the beatings and the torment. He never once gave up. He succeeded! And defeated death! So who are you to say he gave up?
Tripwire_ If Jesus would have given up, he would have called on his father to send battalions of angels to save him!
oh god, why did you forsake me... yeah, right... whatever.. your jesus is a precious idol... he is perfect in every way... and anyone disagreeing with you is possessed by satan or some such stupidity.. it all makes perfect sense... except that it's completely bogus and delusional....
And horrible bad art.
You haven't heard the end of the story. Jesus Christ did die on the cross with nails pierced through his hands, and a crown of thorns on His head. God sent Jesus, His Son, to come to earth for this reason - so that Jesus Christ could die on that cross for your sins and for my sins. Three days after Jesus Christ was killed, He rose from the grave! He defeated death! He couldn't have done that without dying for us. The best part? No matter how much we deny Him, He still loves us. It's our choice to come to Him, our choice to live for Him or to deny Him. Please, finish reading the Bible until the end. In the end, He wins.
This video needed to be uploaded. Everyone needs to hear this...
Its writtian all over your face.You just shine with the light of God.His message comes through u and it just makes me smile.
this dude has ridiculous skills... Ridiculous
Gave me the chills. Thank you Jeff for all you do, God bless and keep spreading Gods word
All praise to The Most High! He's blessed you with great talent brother. May He continue to use you and shine His light so bright. Shalom to the brotherhood ♥
"You treat your job like your wife, and your wife like your slave."
That was really powerful and deep.
Amen ! I respect this guy so much !
Praise God,hallelujah!!! Amen
Thank you Jefferson for shinning our LORD JESUS LIGHT so bright,my hope is that we do not end up while trying to learn to learn,understand,discern making someone else our idols,but rather run back to JESUS feets and at His side like Mary did was listened what He was gifting her with,thank you again for your salt,may our LORD GOD In JESUS Mighty name keep on shinning through you, amen,amen, amen
You truly sound like a modern day prophet. Everything just makes sense when you speak. Thank you for uploading these videos they truly inspire me to be better.
Your (God's) poetry is so powerful! Favorite line- Treat my job like my wife and my wife like my slave. . . You are so Blessed Jefferson! My you continue to be Blessed. Your wife is a very Blessed to have you!
Woah...I definitely heard him speak right into my heart
Thanks mate, this is crystal clear... what preaching should be like. If church had been like this I would have put up a tent and refused to leave !
Never been touch by anyone speaking of Jesus, until now... brought tears to my eyes
I love this guy he opens my eyes
I really like how you're addressing the facts, not the religion. Word, great!
gives me chills.
you are truly blessing. your words cut deep. God bless man.
Jeff's faith in God has really enlightened me and inspired me to be a better child of God. I thank him for this because as far away as I had gotten from The Lord, I was so blind of the grace that God gives to every one of his children and now that my heart is open, I give every problem and small addiction to Jesus and I know that with my willpower He will help me push through it.
This one gave me the chills. True right down to every word. Good job Jeff, keep on moving!
so much truth in one video i cant even handle
YOUR VERY LAST LINE. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i love your spoken word.
Thank You Jeff for allowing God to use you. Your words are inspired by your love of Jesus. Thanks
Wow. What an amazing message. I am making a bible study at my school and I am using this video!!!! You are so great at speaking. God has blessed you with that gift. Continue to use it!
Ugh your spoken word is always good ! I love it
Dude I don't even know how to explain how amazing this was.
God is using you!! What a powerful message.
How do some people manage to dislike such a message, like for real guys...smh
Every single word he said was about me I'm 17. This is simply amazing
Im on a Jeff Bethke marathon, very encouraging stuff.
