Thank you so much Jennie. I am so thankful for you, the Bible study and your transparency. PRAISE GOD I DON'T FEEL LIKE A WEIRDO FOR HAVING FEELINGS 😢🙌🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
Almost all the sermons I hear about "depression" are about Elijah. The same old re-cycled stuff. It's as if all the preachers copy-cat each other. And they all don't offer any solutions.
I was that guy in the city and still recount being in that lifestyle man I had to learn the hard way but advice I would tell others is seek the Lord everything the temporary fun pleasure feels good for a moment but it’s not fulfilling focus on your God given purpose and don’t get caught up with things in the world. The devil will lie to you it looks fun buts it’s all empty the only one who bring real fulfillment joy purpose is the Lord
Crazy this came on my feed as I used to work in the nightclubs BC and I can remember attest to everything you said in the clubs and whole vibe set up when I was at that age but man all the stories leaving or getting in drunk friends car to not being at home some of my friends didn’t make it caught up in gangs other stuff the women and how lost ppl are guys and girls go there to fill a empty void at that age it was new and enticing but looking at it now all of it was a waste of time I went through that and trust me it was all vanity most of everything there is a facade
Thanks Pastor Louie. It's the first time that I'm hearing this message as you delivered it at The Porch and It's Sooooo Good just as when you delivered it at Passion City Church. The Greatness of God is the Only Way Out of Fear. And you know what's Unusual about this Message is that the very first time I saw your video was when you preached this same message and showed how the Enemy comes in Our Lives to Steal, Kill and Destroy. Just a couple months ago, I was facing a Very Dark Season in my Life and it's for God's Grace that gave me the Courage and Strength to have His Peace and Joy, Praying and listening to Messages like yours that took me through. Thanks again and Blessings to You and Shelly and All of Passion City Church🙏🏽❤🇹🇹
Can we get someone not middle aged leading this young adult ministry. What happened to them? Did they all get in trouble for drinking and being secretly gay or was that just JD?
@@jtm5390 he got caught being an alcoholic and had to cry apologize to a service saying he was gonna take a break from pastoring and some of the gay homies in DFW said they saw him on grindr like 6 months ago?
@@jtm5390 yeah idk man, as with everything take it with a grain of salt and use your own discernment, but I was always under the impression he was eventually gonna come back but it seems like he's just doing his own thing now 🤷🏽
@@melaniemartin730 When we let go of trying to control our lives, situations, and hardships and give it over to God so that he can lead and guide us into the plans that he already has for us! 🙌🏼
Thank you God for directing my path to Jennie Allen...I see so much of my truths on that screen tonight, please forgive me for the idols that have been placed above you😢😢😢 In Jesus name I pray, Amen ❤❤❤
This was so honest that I was amazed. Televangelists NEVER tell the truth the way you did. I'm still struggling to find the path to Christian ministry and to see other dreams come true. One day, I hope God will open the door for me to speak with the same conviction.
Can someone please explain why God waited 1.5 millenia to bring the gospel to the new world? Are all those people in hell? Or can they be like retroactively saved like how the Mormons do. Help!!!! 😮
I will say that I do not speak for God, nor can I fully tell you Why He waited so long before he came to give us the Gospels.. What I do know is that God had a timing that Had to happen so All of us could learn about him, so that not only the Jewish people would be saved but Gentiles as well (in Exodus it talks about how God was going to use Pharoahs hard heart to show the Egyptians who The True God was.) I remember reading that Jesus had to come during the time of the Roman empire, because it was the only time in history that a roadway was created to connect many people groups together (which ment the better spreading of the Gospels!) (It's also a interesting note, but Rome is also known as the Eternal city. Which you Could say is a Coincidence, but I can't help but see God's humor in it lol.) And on the subject of hell. That is always a hard subject to talk about, but I will say I do believe God had ways to bring people to Heaven. It was just harder, because of all the rules in the old testament (but that was really on us because we always have to add onto the rules God gave us, not what God Himself did.) But I always see it as God's way of saying We can never redeem ourselves through trying to be "good" people, Jesus finally had to come to re-simplfy all that God tried to show us in the beginning. (It's also interesting to note that there are people in the old testament that State that the Spirit of God was on them! Elijah, David and many others.) But I think I've rambled enough for right now lol. I don't know if any of this helps you, but if anything did I'll be glad! It's always good to ask questions if you're confused on something, but you of course should do some research as well. I recommend praying and reading the Bible, let God show you what you're questioning (He doesn't want you to be ignorant Friend!) I'll be praying for you that you find the answers God wants you to know, hope you have a lovely day!
Focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For he was born of a virgin womb, died and resurrected, started the ministry, did not commit any sin, ascended to be to the right hand of the father interceding for us …
6:43 Matthew 5:31-32, “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[a] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Don't date or even marry a divorced woman for you cannot separate what God has joined together. It is sinful. You are committing adultery . 10:38 1 Corinthians 3:4-9," When one of you says, “I am a follower of Paul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you acting just like people of the world? After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building." Dating someone that is a different denomination doesn't matter. What matters is that they value God with all of their heart and are Christian. God has to be their first priority.
I’ve never read it in the Holy Scriptures-just many words taught by preachers. The Lord does not mention it in his word or pull up anyone for sex before marriage. So, I say, why sweat about it? Enjoy your freedom in God.
