@@nicklikesYT I was a fornicator. I stopped that, it causes so many burdens and suffering. The real underlying problem in that is lust and lack of true resolved commitment. But all sin is rebellion, we must repent and fully trust the gospel.
@@nicklikesYT Sorry to hear that! Don't be discouraged. Seek God for help for whatever you deal with. He's faithful even though we sometimes aren't. Thats not an excuse for sin it's just the truth. But we all deal with sin, the fact is, our sin has a remedy in Christ. Any suffering, any infirmity, has no dominion over God. God is greater than all things, all difficulties and all of us as well. Sometimes life is overwhelming. Seek Christ, seek God.

What a fine young man! May he use his youth and strength in Christ for writing beautiful worship songs of his own. Hey Sheldon, if you seeing this.... the style of song and gorgeous voice you have, please use it to glorify God! We look forward to listening to you on K-Love! I would buy an album from you!! I constantly search for soft folk sounding Christian music~ that I usually fail in finding. Voices like yours are all over Pop radio right now for a reason! We need Christian music in this style!! Be encouraged and everything under our Lord happens for a reason! You met with our dear evangelist today and shared your God given talent for a reader!! Share the Gospel with your words in song I plead with our that you see this and receive a calling for this and God paves a quick path for you for incredible success in this!!
You see, the thing is, I used to associate with JWs, doing the door to door work - always with a companion - but I could NEVER start a conversation from stone cold. I couldn't find the words. I mean, it just isn't in me, which is strange, as I find it so simple to comment on here.
@@beejaybath JW's does not believe Jesus is God. They do not believe in the Trinity. If you are a born again Christian get in a church with sound doctrine that believes in God the Father Jesus ths Son and the Holy Spirit. That teaches Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life.
So, a young man praying for God to help him be a better witness meets a man who literally teaches Christians how to share their faith. Sounds like Providence...
All true believers are anointed! It is a work of The Holy Spirit, not man. 💖 As it is written in the Bible: Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us-eternal life. I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie-just as it has taught you, abide in him. [1John2:18-27 ESV]

Otherwise you, me, Gabriella Ferreira, his Dad, stella silva, Ray Comfort, the young man interviewed in this video, and everyone we know and love would all be burning in a lake of fire right now.

we think this young man had a great mother and father. my father was a very nominal believer and and my mother was a church attender and what he called religious. but God in His mercy chose me for faith. it has be a interesting but hard journey up to now but He know the future. and I can trust the future to Him.
@@ericscaillet2232 they are still blessed to have him. There is only a couple of people kid or adult I know who can defend their faith and what they believe. I willing to bet that his parents put a lot of effort and work into there sons life.
You wanna know how I know God is here and here’s us all ? My gf as been depressed and thinking the worst so I grabbed the Bible and preached to her for hours reciting scripture throughout the day ! Today is Sunday and we went to church and the pastor quoted the whole sermon on the same points as I did and definitely it was for her ! She said how is this possible did you call him yesterday I said no it’s God this is how he works ! He knew you needed to hear it from someone other then me !
this makes me sooo joyful to hear! This is truly heartwarming and somewhat sentimental to me because I was in almost the same situation, yet my predicament had gone truly unsuccessful :(. I had been with my girlfriend on and off for around ten months, mind you I was 12 years old and now im only 13...but i still believe this is somewhat meaningful in itself! Me and her both went into our relationship depressed and occasionally cutting ourselves and things like the sort. Early on into the relationship both of our problems only got worse and worse, as you can imagine, considering that both of us had no relationship with the Lord God. But anyways, her and I's relationship was a complete living hell for the both of us continuously for more months. My father had known about my depression (and multiple attempted suicides) and he had been preaching me the word of God. I don't exactly remember when, but I suddenly had a spiritual awakening that had completely changed my life and perspective. My former depression and anxiety and suicidalness had been completely reversed through God. Of course I was a new born Christian, so I was not very informed of God's morals and principals and I was still a little hectic. (That took time of course to better) I would try to preach to her to try and have a relationship with God, but it would be a disaster each and every time. This was mainly I think, because of her complete stubbornness and devotion to atheism, which is actually satanism I believe. But also, I was pretty pushy and chaotic about it which was completely not God's way, :( and so overall it was not a good situation at all. I was doing the right thing the wrong way We are not together anymore, because she is gay and I am straight ( Im a female I used to be gay with her) but I think soon when I become more and more educated of God's way, I will try to spread the gospel to her in the best way I can (We are still friendly with eachother). But ONLY when I become a better and better Christian so it will hopefully convince her. I'm sorry that this was so long but this experience holds close to my heart and I would like to share it to you, maybe to give you hope for the younger generation, considering that Im a Christian, and just to add my feedback to your story. God bless you and your girlfriend :D
@@JadaLynnOfChrist God bless you, that was tough to read it kinda got to me, I just wanted to say that keep pushing and seeking God and keep pushing to help her, God has opened your eyes for a reason and that could be to reach her soul. I hope your doing well now God bless you both❤️🙏
@@JadaLynnOfChrist The more you learn the "better" a Christian you will be. Trust God and give everything to Him. Let the power of God work in you. When we understand grace I think we can see other people how God sees them and treat others with gentleness. Ask God what you are to say and listen to Him. Also ask God if it is the right timing. God bless your precious heart.
Sometimes I feel there is No Hope for the Younger Generation with All the Drugs and Fast Living then I See a young man like this and my Hope is Restored...
I can see why you get this, a lot of younger generational kids grow up in non religious homes, sometimes we just need to hear the message differently. Personally I stopped following God in year seven. 4 years later, I took the time to sit down and ask questions to a friend about their beliefs on God and religion and everything else. I had preachers at my school but I just didn’t want to listen, the approach that was taken with my friend meant a lot more and I was able to truly listen. Evangelism is so important and it is just how you approach someone without Faith. To evangelists around the world I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing and to spread the gospel, because we need you. I needed you and it took time but I came around. May God bless you all. Merry Christmas.
I feel you on that. But yet, there is. It's just that our faith isn't invincible and perfect, so we always need reminders like these and encouragement.
David Wilkerson had the same concerns this was opened up to him, numbers 14:31 31But your little ones, whom you said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall know. ruclips.net/video/YzqaZHfak0k/видео.html
@@autumngrace3135 Clarity comes with growth in Christ and time. You force it and it falls on deaf ears. best example I can give you is this, listen to a good faith filled message now, and after 15 years come back and listen to it again. You might just find that there was alot that you didn't 'hear' the first time around, and yet that would be the 2nd time you heard it.
I felt that was God telling me through him I needed to pray for more love. I was praying to remove the fear but he’s right. If we pray for more love, there will be no room for fear.
It's alright for Ray I think but most Christians think they have a ministry of fellowship (only to the believers) and will only minister to believers as though they have a physician ignoring all who need JESUS CHRIST. #imahypocriteaswell

@@strive4252 - Catholicism is 'works based'... Also, they pray to Mary and the saints, which is forbidden by God... They also don't believe that Jesus death on the cross was the atoning sacrifice for our sins...(thats why they have Mass, where they repeatedly 'sacrifice Jesus' again and again'...) so no... Catholicism is not Biblical Christianity...❤️
@@originalyou4069 Actually Catholicism is Faith and works based. Matt. 5:17-20 we see Christ came to fulfill the law not abolish it. We don't worship Mary but honor her as our Hail Mary comes straight from the Bible in Luke 1:28. In Luke 1:48 we see that all generations should call Mary blessed, do you? Read Matthew 26:26-29 or John 6:26-69 and tell me what Christ meant about the Eucharist 😂. Catholics do not resacrifice Christ every Mass but partake in the single Sacrifice he paid on the cross because God exists outside of time and space. This is also biblical as the word for memory or rememberance used buy the Hebrews is Zikkaron, which is to partake. See the Jews didn't see time as a continuom but a bunch of events in which God has ultimate access to. It's why in the Bible we see time being used in the plural. It's also why in the Jewish Passover meal they were not re-exiting Egypt, but rather partaking in the event that already happened in history because God exists outside of time and space. I encourage you to be cautious challenging Catholic Doctrine with the Bible because the Bible is a Catholic book.
@@strive4252 you can keep telling yourself these things, but my kids go to Catholic school, and I've seen it for myself... There's one thing honouring Mary and another thing praying to her! And Ps - Jesus did not say that wafers would literally turn into his body when you consume them, which is what you believe isn't it? I've also had to tell my kids NOT to pray to the 'Saints' which they have been told to do at school... Because this is a terrible sin...
There will be many divided within the church... many within denominations - as we see it happening in all branches of the tree, more than ever now. These things were written. Many (not all) within the Catholic church will perish... many preaching the prosperity gospel... many claiming a different Jesus (Mormonism) and so on. The enemy is making its final push and the wolves are out in sheeps' clothing. What we must hold on to is the hope and the trust of Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible alone. We're not to condemn an entire denomination as a whole, unless it of course is teaching false doctrine that Yeshua is not God. Encourage and remind each other of the scripture, but furthermore take each approach uniquely - for we do not know what is in the heart of every individual. Only the Lord, and it will all come to light very soon. Meanwhile, love and encourage through the Word.

Seems Ray wanted to call him a liar and thief to prove to the boy he was a sinner going to hell. I didn’t like that. The boy said he believed in and loved God and that would get to have eternal life because of Jesus. Ray turned me off.
Well yeah, that’s kind of the whole Living Waters ministry style, except it’s supposed to get a person to humble themselves and admit they are guilty. It’s definitely not an accusatory thing.
I don't think that was Ray's intent. There is a spot in the Bible that refers to believing in vain. They "believe," but havent repented & therefore clearly do not live a repentant lifestyle. I think Ray was trying to be sure that he was repentant so he asked him those questions. Its hard to do, but he asked to make sure he wasnt believing in vain. To another point, it also says, "even the demons believe & they sudder."
If he’s really your bud, try to encourage him every chance you get! The times are really changing quickly. Satan will not be able to stand what this young man represents. Help him keep his focus on Jesus Christ.
😢😢 Oh what a sweet, anointing upon this young man's vocal abilities. Really brought me to tears. There's something so genuine and humble about him... I pray that he will reach NATIONS with the talents and gifts that God has bestowed upon him. I pray that God's protection will be around him always because the adversary loves to take out young, anointed youth and adults like him. I pray that perfect love will cast out all fear that would prevent him from preaching the Good News in boldness and love. 🙏🏽👀👂🏽👆🏽💞

I've read this same comment so many times now, one after another. But still each time it puts a smile on my face because it's true. God is truly amazing

lol i loved the "haha" on the last part... tell me honestly Brynlea.... you think he's cute right? if you say yes im gonna pray for you both lol... but more importantly im gonna pray that God will gift you to the man you deserve... in Jesus name i pray with all my heart ♥
i will pray for you sister. in Jesus name, i pray that my sister nath right here will be gifted to a man she deserves and a man who will take care of her. A man who submits to Christ and so she will submit to a leader who is capable of and deserving to build a family with her. I rebuke everything that will try to ruin God's plan for you and your deserving future husband. In Jesus mighty and powerful name ♥ Amen. i wanna witness to all women who are hurt and suffer because of "love". I am telling you, Jesus is alive! and if what you are calling love right now isn't according to if it is not according to 1 cor 13:4-8. Sister, leave that man right now. Jesus loves you and has accepted you even before you were born! just like what he did to me. you see, before i became a happy and proud Christian woman. I was severely hurt by my ex bf and was in a toxic relationship. i got out of that relationship and stayed single for long time thinking no human male can love someone like me at all cause im not enough and im useless.. cuz thats what my past relationship made me feel like. And Jesus Christ touched my heart, it was hard in the beginning, Jesus sent me so many signs, but i ignored them at first, how i wish i realized it earlier, but it just proves God was with me the whole time i thought i was suffering alone. T_T time passed and i prayed for a man from God, and now i met the love of my life, he's a God fearing Christian, an engineer, disciplined and responsible, don't drink, don't smoke, no cheating history at all, and most importantly, he never hurt me. im not saying your dream man should be perfect, but as long as that man loves and fears God, he will never treat a woman like trash because a woman is supposed to be a gift from God. i never thought a relationship like that was possible until God gave him to me. All i can say is Praise God Almighty! He is the ultimate healer!, ultimate Provider, and one true living God!
"How He Loves" by David Crowder is my ultimate favourite Christian song! I'm 18 too, and must admit that I couldn't help but smile like an idiot while watching this entire video. This guys is humble, kind, Godly and has a beautiful voice, too. You can tell he loves Jesus, which is truly amazing to see. It's so hard to find young believers my age who truly follow Christ and are seriously faithful to Him. God bless him.❤
This is sooo encouraging! I can say, as a fellow 18 year-old, you don’t see many people like this, and sometimes you ask yourself if they ever exist! Thanks for sharing this, Ray!
Hey there, Brianna, I encourage you to continue in your faith. Yeah, even though the Lord had saved me at 17 (and I was among the worst of street life teenagers), I somehow ask myself today, "Lord, where are all the young people at?" I ask God to continue to save the youth.. my heart certainly goes out to them.
Take heart, lovely! We are not alone. Even if (like Elijah) we were the only believers of our generation, we have God, and therefore everything. Yes there are few of us, but recently I joined a new church that focuses intensely on discipling, and it’s PACKED with those our age...I’ve never seen so many commuted young adults in one space. AND they’re on Biblical meat, not milk. Better milk than nothing but wow that was so encouraging. You’re never alone!

@@fabiancortez2256 our preferences don't prescribe what truth is. Jesus claims to BE the truth, and that the truth will set us free. Conflicting opinions cannot, logically, all be true.
Jenni Craggs So, then you agree with me. Jesus is the TRUTH to those that BELIEVE it. There is a universal truth exist but no one can adequately substantiate. Until the truth is ultimately revealed we all will continue to believe what we have accepted as TRUTH. Even believing that a universal truth will someday be revealed would be in of itself an idea based on something generally accepted as true. Truth is, we all merely subscribe to numerous opinions. My opinion is that at some point in the future God will identify which “OPINION” was actually the TRUTH all along as he revealed in the days of Elijah. (1 KINGS 18:21-39)

Also I think it's a good opportunity for us to use this as an opening to talk to our friends about Jesus by saying something like did you hear about Kanye's album? Because talking about someone they know and how God changed them can make them think about it being real and yeah lol sorry that was a bit long hahah. Anyway, I'm just so happy that a big artist like him turns into Jesus because it's just starting a big revival, which I personally think that it's one of last ones before Jesus return.
@@mattesteves8110 Wow thank you! I appreciated reading that! Haha I guess you're right my answer wasn't that long and I don't mind reading long texts lol it's interesting! It must be so fun to see one of your favorite artist from a young age become christian! I think it's hard to detach yourself from an artist you listen to a lot. I just speak more from my own experiences, as I used to be a fan of xxxTentacion, which is not the best role model lol. I told myself it was okay if I was not accepting the way he was living, or the words he was saying in his songs. I think even if you don't realize it, it still puts a "seed" inside of you, as I think most popular artists nowadays are the front of darker influences and that choosing to listening to them can bring you farther from God. Few months ago, I decided to completely stop listening to trap music because I don't want to open doors to something that is not from God. It honeslty changed my daily life, it was really hard at first, but God helped me and now when I hear a xxxTentacion song, I don't even like it anymore. Anyway, hahah back to Kanye. You're right the gospel really gives a theme to the album so that's cool! And that's so awesome that you were able to talk to your friends about it! I'm happy for you! And I'm listening to her now! That's so rare to find christian women who rap! Thank you so so much! I'm been looking for an artist like her for so long!

@@strive4252 The Catholic church was not the same Catholic church we have today. The Catholic church of today has been heavily corrupted and strayed from many Christian doctrines.
@@n.holt7 Is that so? Last I checked the Catholic Church Doctrine matches that of the early Church 2,000 years ago. www.churchfathers.org has great records of early Church Doctrine. The Catholic Church still retains the unbroken and direct Apostolic Succession and like How Jesus said in Matt. 17-19, you are Peter(which means rock) and on this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Sure there will be corrupt people in the Church. The Catholic Church is not a gathering of perfect people but a hospital for sinners. Regardless of what an individual does, the Faith of the Church and the God breathed infallibility of the Apostles and their successors (John 20:21-23) will always remain perfect. For as 1 Timothy 3:15 says, it is the Church, the holy dwelling place of God, that is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth.
@@strive4252 In John 20:23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." The very core of the gospel message is the truth that the way someone has their sins forgiven is by having faith in Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior. In Acts 10:43-44, when Peter was sharing the gospel, he said, “Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” First John 5:1-5 tells us only he who believes in Jesus will overcome the world. Luke 5:20 says, “When Jesus saw their faith, He said ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’” Colossians 2:13-14 says Jesus forgave all our sins. All these passages confirm that Jesus is the one who forgives sin, and He forgives all of our sins. If we have had genuine faith in Him, someone else cannot later decide we are not forgiven one sin or another. So, what exactly did Jesus mean in John 20:23? Only God can forgive sins, and Christ, being God, has the power to do so as well, but He never communicated any such power to His disciples, nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves. The key to understanding the meaning of John 20:23 lies in the previous two verses: “Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” He sent them, as He is sending us, to bring the good news of the way to salvation and heaven to the whole world. Jesus was leaving the earth physically but promised God would be with them in the person of the Holy Spirit living in them. As they proclaimed the gospel, they could honestly tell people who believed in that message that their sins were forgiven, and they could honestly tell people that did not believe in the message that their sins were not forgiven and that they stand condemned in God’s eyes. Jesus said, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36). Believers today have the very same mission given to us! We are obligated to share the gospel message, the way to heaven, to others in the world, and we go about that mission with the Holy Spirit living inside us, guiding us as we share His truth. We are obligated to tell people the only way to be forgiven is through faith. Jesus said in John 8:24, “If you do not believe that I am (God), you will indeed die in your sins.” This is the very core of the gospel message and the very heart of what we are to explain to the world. It was Jesus’ last command to His followers before He physically left the earth-carry forward the message of hope and save as many as will believe in Him. Jesus preached a crucial message about forgiving our brothers, as God forgave us. We stand in grace, and He expects us to keep our hearts pure toward others, not holding grudges or harboring a spirit of unforgiveness, especially after He gave us such undeserved love and forgiveness at such a high personal cost to Himself! Jesus said those who have been forgiven much, love much (Luke 7:47). He expects us to forgive others 70 times 7 times (Matthew 18:22). We are also told that if we are praying but hold something against anyone, we are to forgive that person so our relationship with God is right and righteous! Colossians 3:13 says, “Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” We know we are His if we love our brothers and don’t hate them or have unforgiveness in our hearts (1 John 2:3-6; 3:14-19; 4:16-21). Forgiveness is a key to showing we indeed have eternal life inside us, according to these passages. If we say we love God but hate our brother, we are liars and no truth is in us. So, our forgiveness of others is a major indicator of true fellowship with God. God looks at the heart and actions, not mere words. Jesus stated while on earth, “These people come near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” So, it’s important we have a living, genuine faith: “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers” (1 John 3:14).
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. May Jesus bless this young man and help him play music to draw men to Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for placing him in California to do the work and good deeds that you have prepared for him since BEFORE the foundation of the world.
Hey Jimi I hope your doing good man. I don’t know you and I’m not trying to attack or judge you at all I would be a hypocrite if I did for this because I have watched a lot of anime and cartoons in the past Naruto was in there but I’ve heard from people in videos who have said these cartoon characters are demons. I believe it may have been two years ago a lady said she saw someone die I believe she said they went into Hell and were being tormented by a demon named Ben 10. I’m not trying to say this to scare you or attack or judge you that’s not what I want I want to say this to you in love as a heads up so Satan doesn’t have access into your life. May God bless you man.

I was a fornicator. I stopped that, it causes so many burdens and suffering. The real underlying problem in that is lust and lack of true resolved commitment. But all sin is rebellion, we must repent and fully trust the gospel.

Sorry to hear that! Don't be discouraged. Seek God for help for whatever you deal with. He's faithful even though we sometimes aren't. Thats not an excuse for sin it's just the truth. But we all deal with sin, the fact is, our sin has a remedy in Christ. Any suffering, any infirmity, has no dominion over God. God is greater than all things, all difficulties and all of us as well. Sometimes life is overwhelming. Seek Christ, seek God.
This dude just upstaged Ray. Why am I crying? There’s hope for the youth.

You see, the thing is, I used to associate with JWs, doing the door to door work - always with a companion - but I could NEVER start a conversation from stone cold. I couldn't find the words. I mean, it just isn't in me, which is strange, as I find it so simple to comment on here.

@@beejaybath JW's does not believe Jesus is God. They do not believe in the Trinity. If you are a born again Christian get in a church with sound doctrine that believes in God the Father Jesus ths Son and the Holy Spirit. That teaches Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life.
So, a young man praying for God to help him be a better witness meets a man who literally teaches Christians how to share their faith. Sounds like Providence...
I am a teenager play the guitar and sing I also preach the gospel and sometimes I wonder if people like me still exists this is just what I needed

I ve been a Christian since I was 7 and have thought this same thing a lot . Its sad how dark this world has grown.
That boy is very annointed and doesn't even realize it 😭❤😏
All true believers are anointed! It is a work of The Holy Spirit, not man. 💖 As it is written in the Bible:
Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made to us-eternal life. I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie-just as it has taught you, abide in him. [1John2:18-27 ESV]
We are all annointed....submit to God

@@ericscaillet2232 they are still blessed to have him. There is only a couple of people kid or adult I know who can defend their faith and what they believe. I willing to bet that his parents put a lot of effort and work into there sons life.
You wanna know how I know God is here and here’s us all ? My gf as been depressed and thinking the worst so I grabbed the Bible and preached to her for hours reciting scripture throughout the day ! Today is Sunday and we went to church and the pastor quoted the whole sermon on the same points as I did and definitely it was for her ! She said how is this possible did you call him yesterday I said no it’s God this is how he works ! He knew you needed to hear it from someone other then me !
this makes me sooo joyful to hear! This is truly heartwarming and somewhat sentimental to me because I was in almost the same situation, yet my predicament had gone truly unsuccessful :(. I had been with my girlfriend on and off for around ten months, mind you I was 12 years old and now im only 13...but i still believe this is somewhat meaningful in itself! Me and her both went into our relationship depressed and occasionally cutting ourselves and things like the sort. Early on into the relationship both of our problems only got worse and worse, as you can imagine, considering that both of us had no relationship with the Lord God.
But anyways, her and I's relationship was a complete living hell for the both of us continuously for more months. My father had known about my depression (and multiple attempted suicides) and he had been preaching me the word of God. I don't exactly remember when, but I suddenly had a spiritual awakening that had completely changed my life and perspective. My former depression and anxiety and suicidalness had been completely reversed through God. Of course I was a new born Christian, so I was not very informed of God's morals and principals and I was still a little hectic. (That took time of course to better) I would try to preach to her to try and have a relationship with God, but it would be a disaster each and every time. This was mainly I think, because of her complete stubbornness and devotion to atheism, which is actually satanism I believe. But also, I was pretty pushy and chaotic about it which was completely not God's way, :( and so overall it was not a good situation at all. I was doing the right thing the wrong way
We are not together anymore, because she is gay and I am straight ( Im a female I used to be gay with her) but I think soon when I become more and more educated of God's way, I will try to spread the gospel to her in the best way I can (We are still friendly with eachother). But ONLY when I become a better and better Christian so it will hopefully convince her. I'm sorry that this was so long but this experience holds close to my heart and I would like to share it to you, maybe to give you hope for the younger generation, considering that Im a Christian, and just to add my feedback to your story. God bless you and your girlfriend :D
@@JadaLynnOfChrist God bless you, that was tough to read it kinda got to me, I just wanted to say that keep pushing and seeking God and keep pushing to help her, God has opened your eyes for a reason and that could be to reach her soul. I hope your doing well now God bless you both❤️🙏
@@JadaLynnOfChrist The more you learn the "better" a Christian you will be. Trust God and give everything to Him. Let the power of God work in you. When we understand grace I think we can see other people how God sees them and treat others with gentleness. Ask God what you are to say and listen to Him. Also ask God if it is the right timing. God bless your precious heart.

Sometimes I feel there is No Hope for the Younger Generation with All the Drugs and Fast Living then I See a young man like this and my Hope is Restored...
We’re out there :)
I can see why you get this, a lot of younger generational kids grow up in non religious homes, sometimes we just need to hear the message differently. Personally I stopped following God in year seven. 4 years later, I took the time to sit down and ask questions to a friend about their beliefs on God and religion and everything else. I had preachers at my school but I just didn’t want to listen, the approach that was taken with my friend meant a lot more and I was able to truly listen. Evangelism is so important and it is just how you approach someone without Faith. To evangelists around the world I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing and to spread the gospel, because we need you. I needed you and it took time but I came around. May God bless you all. Merry Christmas.
I feel you on that. But yet, there is. It's just that our faith isn't invincible and perfect, so we always need reminders like these and encouragement.
No worries, God has chosen us to be the light among the new generation :)

Young evangelist... worship leader..
Truly God will use this young man to advance the kingdom..
If he becomes Catholic... There's one Kingdom of Christ.
@@strive4252 - Catholicism is 'works based'... Also, they pray to Mary and the saints, which is forbidden by God... They also don't believe that Jesus death on the cross was the atoning sacrifice for our sins...(thats why they have Mass, where they repeatedly 'sacrifice Jesus' again and again'...) so no... Catholicism is not Biblical Christianity...❤️
@@originalyou4069 Actually Catholicism is Faith and works based. Matt. 5:17-20 we see Christ came to fulfill the law not abolish it. We don't worship Mary but honor her as our Hail Mary comes straight from the Bible in Luke 1:28. In Luke 1:48 we see that all generations should call Mary blessed, do you? Read Matthew 26:26-29 or John 6:26-69 and tell me what Christ meant about the Eucharist 😂. Catholics do not resacrifice Christ every Mass but partake in the single Sacrifice he paid on the cross because God exists outside of time and space. This is also biblical as the word for memory or rememberance used buy the Hebrews is Zikkaron, which is to partake. See the Jews didn't see time as a continuom but a bunch of events in which God has ultimate access to. It's why in the Bible we see time being used in the plural. It's also why in the Jewish Passover meal they were not re-exiting Egypt, but rather partaking in the event that already happened in history because God exists outside of time and space. I encourage you to be cautious challenging Catholic Doctrine with the Bible because the Bible is a Catholic book.
@@strive4252 you can keep telling yourself these things, but my kids go to Catholic school, and I've seen it for myself... There's one thing honouring Mary and another thing praying to her! And Ps - Jesus did not say that wafers would literally turn into his body when you consume them, which is what you believe isn't it?
I've also had to tell my kids NOT to pray to the 'Saints' which they have been told to do at school... Because this is a terrible sin...
There will be many divided within the church... many within denominations - as we see it happening in all branches of the tree, more than ever now. These things were written. Many (not all) within the Catholic church will perish... many preaching the prosperity gospel... many claiming a different Jesus (Mormonism) and so on. The enemy is making its final push and the wolves are out in sheeps' clothing. What we must hold on to is the hope and the trust of Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible alone. We're not to condemn an entire denomination as a whole, unless it of course is teaching false doctrine that Yeshua is not God. Encourage and remind each other of the scripture, but furthermore take each approach uniquely - for we do not know what is in the heart of every individual. Only the Lord, and it will all come to light very soon. Meanwhile, love and encourage through the Word.

Seems Ray wanted to call him a liar and thief to prove to the boy he was a sinner going to hell. I didn’t like that. The boy said he believed in and loved God and that would get to have eternal life because of Jesus. Ray turned me off.
Well yeah, that’s kind of the whole Living Waters ministry style, except it’s supposed to get a person to humble themselves and admit they are guilty. It’s definitely not an accusatory thing.
@@rachelperrault4901 ray just turned u off bc you don't like the truth
I don't think that was Ray's intent. There is a spot in the Bible that refers to believing in vain. They "believe," but havent repented & therefore clearly do not live a repentant lifestyle. I think Ray was trying to be sure that he was repentant so he asked him those questions. Its hard to do, but he asked to make sure he wasnt believing in vain. To another point, it also says, "even the demons believe & they sudder."
That's my bud Shelton Taylor! Amazing talent and heart after God!
If he’s really your bud, try to encourage him every chance you get! The times are really changing quickly. Satan will not be able to stand what this young man represents. Help him keep his focus on Jesus Christ.

And tell him to come to NZ for a holiday... I'd like him to meet my daughter.
@@LawronPinson does he have a RUclips channel with his music?
@@houstonhughey5521 I was wondering too
😢😢 Oh what a sweet, anointing upon this young man's vocal abilities. Really brought me to tears. There's something so genuine and humble about him... I pray that he will reach NATIONS with the talents and gifts that God has bestowed upon him. I pray that God's protection will be around him always because the adversary loves to take out young, anointed youth and adults like him. I pray that perfect love will cast out all fear that would prevent him from preaching the Good News in boldness and love. 🙏🏽👀👂🏽👆🏽💞
His name is Shelton Taylor. They really should have linked him in the description. Common RUclips etiquette. Here's his RUclips channel. He was actually in the top 50 of American Idol this past season! ruclips.net/channel/UCrEx8G3EIpxGI-WokYDKU3g

Ohh yea that's actually a really good point, koodos to you for catching that!
You can tell that the tip Ray gave him at the end about loving when evangelizing instead of being fearful really got to him!
A great tip for all of us actually :)
Exactly ! Amazing
@@danielcasallas8183 yes definitely Ray was an answer to his prayer!!

I can’t wait to meet this man in heaven. God bless beloved brethren
This was a good conversation

Please, ray, help train him in the Way of the Master!
So many prayers are needed for this generation. They all seem so disconnected.

@@Note-rv6jj his name's Shelton Taylor he's on insta and went on american idol
A Godly Christian 18 year old boy who is humble and kind and has an amazing voice. Someone will be blessed to marry you one day haha
my thoughts exactly hahahah!!!
lol i loved the "haha" on the last part... tell me honestly Brynlea.... you think he's cute right?
if you say yes im gonna pray for you both lol... but more importantly im gonna pray that God will gift you to the man you deserve... in Jesus name i pray with all my heart ♥
@@dogeeatsveggies pray for me too! that in Jesus's name I will find a Godly man who loves me :(
18 year old ,ok he looks 20s
i will pray for you sister.
in Jesus name, i pray that my sister nath right here will be gifted to a man she deserves and a man who will take care of her. A man who submits to Christ and so she will submit to a leader who is capable of and deserving to build a family with her. I rebuke everything that will try to ruin God's plan for you and your deserving future husband. In Jesus mighty and powerful name ♥ Amen.
i wanna witness to all women who are hurt and suffer because of "love". I am telling you, Jesus is alive! and if what you are calling love right now isn't according to
if it is not according to 1 cor 13:4-8.
Sister, leave that man right now.
Jesus loves you and has accepted you even before you were born! just like what he did to me.
you see, before i became a happy and proud Christian woman. I was severely hurt by my ex bf and was in a toxic relationship.
i got out of that relationship and stayed single for long time thinking no human male can love someone like me at all cause im not enough and im useless.. cuz thats what my past relationship made me feel like. And Jesus Christ touched my heart, it was hard in the beginning, Jesus sent me so many signs, but i ignored them at first, how i wish i realized it earlier, but it just proves God was with me the whole time i thought i was suffering alone. T_T
time passed and i prayed for a man from God, and now i met the love of my life, he's a God fearing Christian, an engineer, disciplined and responsible, don't drink, don't smoke, no cheating history at all, and most importantly, he never hurt me. im not saying your dream man should be perfect, but as long as that man loves and fears God, he will never treat a woman like trash because a woman is supposed to be a gift from God.
i never thought a relationship like that was possible until God gave him to me.
All i can say is Praise God Almighty! He is the ultimate healer!, ultimate Provider, and one true living God!
"How He Loves" by David Crowder is my ultimate favourite Christian song! I'm 18 too, and must admit that I couldn't help but smile like an idiot while watching this entire video. This guys is humble, kind, Godly and has a beautiful voice, too. You can tell he loves Jesus, which is truly amazing to see. It's so hard to find young believers my age who truly follow Christ and are seriously faithful to Him. God bless him.❤
God Bless you young one. May His strength keep on strengthening you in HIM.
This is sooo encouraging! I can say, as a fellow 18 year-old, you don’t see many people like this, and sometimes you ask yourself if they ever exist! Thanks for sharing this, Ray!
Right there with you. And if you do find so called "Christians" they are still babies in their faith..
Hey there, Brianna, I encourage you to continue in your faith. Yeah, even though the Lord had saved me at 17 (and I was among the worst of street life teenagers), I somehow ask myself today, "Lord, where are all the young people at?" I ask God to continue to save the youth.. my heart certainly goes out to them.
Take heart, lovely! We are not alone. Even if (like Elijah) we were the only believers of our generation, we have God, and therefore everything. Yes there are few of us, but recently I joined a new church that focuses intensely on discipling, and it’s PACKED with those our age...I’ve never seen so many commuted young adults in one space. AND they’re on Biblical meat, not milk. Better milk than nothing but wow that was so encouraging. You’re never alone!
Truth
Very wise young man and talented to boot. Quite shocking to hear someone so young seeking after the Lord. May God bless and keep you!
This made me tear up. He is so sweet. I pray for this boy to continue seeking god.
Well this was refreshing. You've finally interviewed somebody who's not a lunatic, lol.
None of the other people of that ray interviewed or lunatics they were just lost
It's a joke.
But some of them might've been, lol.
so true altho we were all lunatics.
This was inspiring! I’m happy to see a young man admit he’s a Christian. 😍
Such a kind hearted man. World needs more people like him.
He’s like a young David! I love this guy
He would make a fantastic Catholic.
God bless this boy. He is soooo precious
@@strive4252 Thankfully he's not.
@@teamexplorers2.0 So you want him to be outside the infallible Church of Apostolic Succession, so he can fall into a biblical and moral relativism? Without the Church who's to say what interpretation of the Bible is right or wrong 2 Peter 1:20 warns us of individual interpretation. 1 Timothy 3 15 says the Church is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth. Without the Church you are left with no foundation and the 40,000 Protestant Bible only Christians who are the most divided group in human history.
@@teamexplorers2.0 Salvation through works alone was denounced by the Catholic Church as a heresy known as plegalism. Its by faith and works that we are saved. If you think otherwise you are relying on a separate interpretation then those who wrote and compiled the Bible...

Man that really was encouraging. What a blessing your ministry has been for me and my family Ray. Praise Jesus
Pittbull94 Amen!
It was hey. It certainly encouraged me this morning. Praise God xo
The other day at my bible study, a sisters 8 year old daughter decided to sit in rather than playing in the other room. Anyway, she raises her hand and proceeds to ask question after question about the scriptures, displaying such a hunger for God and His Word. I started to weep with joy! I just had the same feeling of thankfulness when watching this young man. God is raising up warriors. This is so encouraging
It didn't go as planned because he already knew the truth ✞
Truth is subjective. It depends on what you want to believe is truth. He adheres to one of the many interpretations of Christianity.
@@fabiancortez2256 our preferences don't prescribe what truth is. Jesus claims to BE the truth, and that the truth will set us free. Conflicting opinions cannot, logically, all be true.
Jenni Craggs
So, then you agree with me. Jesus is the TRUTH to those that BELIEVE it. There is a universal truth exist but no one can adequately substantiate. Until the truth is ultimately revealed we all will continue to believe what we have accepted as TRUTH. Even believing that a universal truth will someday be revealed would be in of itself an idea based on something generally accepted as true. Truth is, we all merely subscribe to numerous opinions. My opinion is that at some point in the future God will identify which “OPINION” was actually the TRUTH all along as he revealed in the days of Elijah.
(1 KINGS 18:21-39)
I think also this meeting was for you Ray....to bless and encourage you to 'never grow weary of doing good' 😇
He had me in the first round, thought he was confused. Turns out, he knows his bible! Made me smile :) God bless you young one!

@@Jojo-mc7ku Yes.
That was my thought as well. He has a humble spirit. Beautiful soul.
I like the example he used of the other 2 crucified next to Jesus. It shows salvation is not earned by acts or by how good you are.
I love that story.
"I"m not religious..." Truly a humble soul. We need to take lessons from this young man.
Beautiful. He has a rarely nice nature and a amazing voice. Praise God.
What a gorgeous voice, if he stays humble God will use him for His glory and his kingdom.
Oh wow how wonderful to see a young man loving the Lord 🙏
When an evangelist meets an evangelist. Beautiful!
This young man has the light of our Lord in him, i hope he leads many to salvation, thanks for uploading this Ray, this was very inspiring.
Praying for wisdom and strength for this young man for all of his upcoming battles. How awesome and encouraging.
He's very humble I like that.
This made my heart very happy. Thank you Jesus for reaching my generation. ❤️
only 18, with a whole live ahead of him sharing the awesome glory of God's Word. How fortunate.
What a breath of fresh air! May the Lord bless him abundantly.
Woohoo. What a blessing this young man is. Im pumped to hear and see the Spirit active and moving in his generation. Praise God.
I thought in America this kind of specimen had already extinguished.
May the Lord be with you forever.
I'd like to know the boys name to follow his music. Very talented
Same
Is that so??
@Mr X Thanks for being that one.
@Mr X why so misleading? Go to that Chan and it is most def not this young man. Please correct me if I'm speaking out of turn.

@@mattesteves8110 Yeah they're good artists! I personally recommend Jonathan Ogden and Ecclesia! :) What artists do you like? And I listened to some of the songs on the album, I'm so thankful and happy that God is using him as he has a large audience and his album really talks about how Jesus saves and I think it's wonderful that atheists or others can listen to that, I personally don't like all the songs I'm not really into gospel type, but I really like the song Follow God! Also I think it's a good opportunity for us to use this as an opening to talk to our friends about Jesus by saying something like did you hear about Kanye's album? Because talking about someone they know and how God changed them can make them think about it being real and yeah lol sorry that was a bit long hahah. Anyway, I'm just so happy that a big artist like him turns into Jesus because it's just starting a big revival, which I personally think that it's one of last ones before Jesus return.
@@mattesteves8110 Wow thank you! I appreciated reading that! Haha I guess you're right my answer wasn't that long and I don't mind reading long texts lol it's interesting!
It must be so fun to see one of your favorite artist from a young age become christian! I think it's hard to detach yourself from an artist you listen to a lot. I just speak more from my own experiences, as I used to be a fan of xxxTentacion, which is not the best role model lol. I told myself it was okay if I was not accepting the way he was living, or the words he was saying in his songs. I think even if you don't realize it, it still puts a "seed" inside of you, as I think most popular artists nowadays are the front of darker influences and that choosing to listening to them can bring you farther from God.
Few months ago, I decided to completely stop listening to trap music because I don't want to open doors to something that is not from God. It honeslty changed my daily life, it was really hard at first, but God helped me and now when I hear a xxxTentacion song, I don't even like it anymore.
Anyway, hahah back to Kanye. You're right the gospel really gives a theme to the album so that's cool! And that's so awesome that you were able to talk to your friends about it! I'm happy for you!
And I'm listening to her now! That's so rare to find christian women who rap! Thank you so so much! I'm been looking for an artist like her for so long!
Our responses are becoming longer and longer lol

Ray always uses the “thief on the cross” example after “3 minutes to live” question to Mormons Catholics and JWs. He baited him into the answer he always gives. Kept his standard format but this guy didn’t need to be told.
Don't pray for less fear, pray for more love! EXCELLENT PASTOR RAY!

Yes please. Apollo was a Christian and needed guidance Based on future writing in the Bible, he became great. Guide him and teach him how to evangelize.
REALLY didn't see that coming! I'm so proud of this young man! Just imagine how our Heavenly Father feels!! God bless!

He's so so cute! May God continues to bless him. Such a good example for the youth.
I am 16 and I got saved last August of 2020, please to all of my Christians brothers and sisters pray for us youth, may the Lord Jesus Christ bless this young man
his theology was on point, he can sing too mah brotha, may the Lord keep blessing Him
YES, Jesus laid the foundation, made the path 💜💜💜 have FAITH in that Brother's and Sister's =) God bless
The foundation of Peter and the Apostles whom he built his Church which is the path to him. One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church.
@@strive4252 The Catholic church was not the same Catholic church we have today. The Catholic church of today has been heavily corrupted and strayed from many Christian doctrines.
@@n.holt7 Is that so? Last I checked the Catholic Church Doctrine matches that of the early Church 2,000 years ago. www.churchfathers.org has great records of early Church Doctrine. The Catholic Church still retains the unbroken and direct Apostolic Succession and like How Jesus said in Matt. 17-19, you are Peter(which means rock) and on this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Sure there will be corrupt people in the Church. The Catholic Church is not a gathering of perfect people but a hospital for sinners. Regardless of what an individual does, the Faith of the Church and the God breathed infallibility of the Apostles and their successors (John 20:21-23) will always remain perfect. For as 1 Timothy 3:15 says, it is the Church, the holy dwelling place of God, that is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth.
@@strive4252 alright let's test that, how can I be saved? Faith alone? Or works?
@@strive4252 In John 20:23, Jesus tells His disciples, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." The very core of the gospel message is the truth that the way someone has their sins forgiven is by having faith in Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior. In Acts 10:43-44, when Peter was sharing the gospel, he said, “Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” First John 5:1-5 tells us only he who believes in Jesus will overcome the world. Luke 5:20 says, “When Jesus saw their faith, He said ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’” Colossians 2:13-14 says Jesus forgave all our sins. All these passages confirm that Jesus is the one who forgives sin, and He forgives all of our sins. If we have had genuine faith in Him, someone else cannot later decide we are not forgiven one sin or another. So, what exactly did Jesus mean in John 20:23?
Only God can forgive sins, and Christ, being God, has the power to do so as well, but He never communicated any such power to His disciples, nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves. The key to understanding the meaning of John 20:23 lies in the previous two verses: “Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” He sent them, as He is sending us, to bring the good news of the way to salvation and heaven to the whole world. Jesus was leaving the earth physically but promised God would be with them in the person of the Holy Spirit living in them. As they proclaimed the gospel, they could honestly tell people who believed in that message that their sins were forgiven, and they could honestly tell people that did not believe in the message that their sins were not forgiven and that they stand condemned in God’s eyes. Jesus said, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36).
Believers today have the very same mission given to us! We are obligated to share the gospel message, the way to heaven, to others in the world, and we go about that mission with the Holy Spirit living inside us, guiding us as we share His truth. We are obligated to tell people the only way to be forgiven is through faith. Jesus said in John 8:24, “If you do not believe that I am (God), you will indeed die in your sins.” This is the very core of the gospel message and the very heart of what we are to explain to the world. It was Jesus’ last command to His followers before He physically left the earth-carry forward the message of hope and save as many as will believe in Him.
Jesus preached a crucial message about forgiving our brothers, as God forgave us. We stand in grace, and He expects us to keep our hearts pure toward others, not holding grudges or harboring a spirit of unforgiveness, especially after He gave us such undeserved love and forgiveness at such a high personal cost to Himself! Jesus said those who have been forgiven much, love much (Luke 7:47). He expects us to forgive others 70 times 7 times (Matthew 18:22). We are also told that if we are praying but hold something against anyone, we are to forgive that person so our relationship with God is right and righteous! Colossians 3:13 says, “Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” We know we are His if we love our brothers and don’t hate them or have unforgiveness in our hearts (1 John 2:3-6; 3:14-19; 4:16-21). Forgiveness is a key to showing we indeed have eternal life inside us, according to these passages. If we say we love God but hate our brother, we are liars and no truth is in us. So, our forgiveness of others is a major indicator of true fellowship with God. God looks at the heart and actions, not mere words. Jesus stated while on earth, “These people come near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” So, it’s important we have a living, genuine faith: “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers” (1 John 3:14).
This was so uplifting to see. Complete strangers speaking as if they know a lot about each other all because of God. Absolutely beautiful
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. May Jesus bless this young man and help him play music to draw men to Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for placing him in California to do the work and good deeds that you have prepared for him since BEFORE the foundation of the world.
So refreshing to see a young man like this loving Christ. Thank you so much for sharing.
How excited this kid is at the end has me bawling my eyes out.. I have just recently been saved and love seeing this stuff.
God bless you!
Hey Jimi I hope your doing good man. I don’t know you and I’m not trying to attack or judge you at all I would be a hypocrite if I did for this because I have watched a lot of anime and cartoons in the past Naruto was in there but I’ve heard from people in videos who have said these cartoon characters are demons. I believe it may have been two years ago a lady said she saw someone die I believe she said they went into Hell and were being tormented by a demon named Ben 10. I’m not trying to say this to scare you or attack or judge you that’s not what I want I want to say this to you in love as a heads up so Satan doesn’t have access into your life. May God bless you man.
