1:02:48 "men who have passed away last year at a young age in this church". I wonder if that's clot-shot related? BTW. Really dug the bass playing today, groovy playing ! :)
What a great and practical message this was. Thank you so much Pastor Toni for sharing your experiences and advice with us. Lord bless you and your family. 💕✝
I started challenging apologist all over the internet who keep fighting with Muslims. If you cannot comprehend Christianity and the God Christians worship it's because you need THE HOLY SPIRIT TO REVEAL IT TO YOU. You can't have the Holy spirit if you don't SEEK GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART. IF YOU SEEK HIM HE WILL COME TO YOU. Christians please STOP doing the HOLY SPIRITS WORK. minister, disciple, testify act but don't try to make them see sense because God only REVEALS HIMSELF TO WHOM HE CHOOSES. And He only does that through a personal relationship. Ok ✝️🙏🏻🙏 Muslims God is attracted to your HEART ,If you heart is for the truth you will find the truth the way and the life. If your heart is not pure God will not enter Unless He chooses.
Ya'll I need prayer for Aj and I. We seem stuck in a communication break down, seeing the other as the villain and ourselves as victims. It never seems to end and it has gotten so bad where we can't even talk! We have a hard past but have been working hard to move forward. It seems we keep tripping on the devils tripwire and I donot know how to get past these road blocks. It seems like all we do is trigger eachother. I want it to work. It has been 13 years together. She seems so stuck inpointing the finger and me and my past sin and the hurt it has caused her; so much so that when she hurts me, she almost mever apologizes and just brings back things I have done wrong. I try very hard to be calm and understanding, trying everything to communicate, listen, be respectful and graceful. I try to forgive first even if she hurts me and does not apologize. I do not know what to do anymore. Brothers and sisters, I need prayer. I feel so burnt from all of this and I know she does too. I am so misunderstood and judged almost daily, basically looking into a mirror of my past every day. I have repented and been cleansed but she cannot seem to forgive me. I feel I am starting to resent the brick wall she has constructed around herself. Many times she will just plug her ears and scream her point at me. How do I connect with that?/ I feel hopeless, yet I know God can do the impossible. Brothers and sisters, I beg, please intercede for us, and any advice or help would be soso appreciated. Thank you. ❤
Do we take away their power when we allow them to surpass us. It belittles them and sends the message we have are own agenda and do not need affirmation.
I really appreciated how Pastor Jeff explained what sanctification is in easy-to-understand terms. He has a gift for clearly explaining theological terms that are essential for our understanding of God and Who He is. "Sanctification is a growing affection for Jesus" and we are to do things that stir up our affections for Jesus. Thanks Jeff for all your hard work and devotion to God and His Word in preparing this foundational message.
Me and my ex fiancé split up but, God told me he’s my husband. We were together for 2 years and 3 months and this testimony is so close to what’s happening. I believe we’re going to be okay. I need to repent and be delivered from my past hurt. I believe I found this for a reason. Thank you Lord, I trust you.
@@0Aus I think I understand the reasoning but its irrational and you have 2 separate distinct entities. i.e 2 Gods. Physically there was a God in heaven and according to Christian Theology a God on Earth. That is 2 separate Gods. Multiplicity of Gods is polytheism. Hindus have the same concept except their God/Man was Krishna. In greek mythology they also have something similar. I think in Christianity you have to force all rationality to one side and ‘just accept it’ which was fine 500yrs ago but today is difficult to accept.
Let’s say you have someone talking into your PoV ear through an earbud. That significantly increases the likelihood of complete failure in that relationship because you have other people involved besides the two of you. So, you’re not just dealing with what’s going on with the two of you but also with “challenges” from God - “press her on that, she’s not being authentic” to “See if you can get her to have sex on the sofa right now” from Satan. You’re going to screw up a lot of relationships.
I found humor to be helpful. But, when you go to the Lord and ask him to search your heart - pray a prayer of examination and you are accountable for everything you do which displeased God, you know how you’ve missed the mark in a marriage. You may not know your spouses prayer of examination - you only know yours. You have to listen to know what’s going on with him and he may choose not to share his thoughts with you because of fear or pride or any number of things. That’s what makes conflict hover over your marriage.
If my husband complained about my knee being in his bed space, he’d suddenly find my entire body in his space. Giggling. Then I might give his territory back.
My comment would have been “Let’s go to bed and we’ll figure this out in the morning.” When you’re tired, you set it aside for that moment. Things happen when you’re tired.
