Just want to clarify really quickly that I absolutely believe we are saved by faith, not by works. What my goal was in this video was to talk more of showing our faith THROUGH our actions. Faith precedes action. Faith CAUSES action. “Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turn to God.” Matthew 3:8 Meaning the first step is faith, believing in Jesus dying for our sins. But it does not stop there - we are to show our faith by our changed lives - through the fruit we produce. Hope that makes sense! More verses about this in the description xx
Thank you for putting this up Becca, the list comes from Francis Chan's book Crazy Love. I highly recommend it! I know that it definitely challenged me when I read the chapter where he talks about luke warm Christianity.
@@FarAwayDistance It does! Chapter 4 and you're very welcome! Thanks for having the courage to put this video up. It reminded of the book so I'm rereading it as we speak haha!
I have something that'll make you tear up. Luke 15:10 "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the Angel's of God over one sinner who repents." The Angel's shout for Joy when you repent, and are saved.
I'm fifteen, and I feel sooooo busted by this video. I'm not angry, I just feel so convicted of my sin. But God is faithful, and whoever "repents and confesses his sin, He is faithful and just to forgive."
GMarie Behind The Mask 2nd Thessalonians 2: 11-12 "And God shall send a strong delusion among them, that they should believe a lie, so that they may be judged and condemned those who believed not the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness"
mefit1 but does God still do that? And he did that due to the ignorance of the cities but in Jonah it shows how God was quick to change his plans for destroying a city due to their repentance and spared them. That to me shows his grace.
Ricky Snyder I understand but what is the point of following only to waver between the world and God? That’s why he says he would spit lukewarm Christians out of his mouth. I’m thankful that he gives us forgiveness when we sin not so we can do it again but so we can learn.
@@mefit1 when God flooded the earth HE gave many many many warnings and plenty of chances for the world to repent and they didn't ... HE sent many people to try to stop it but they were rejected so HE had Noah build an ark and the people then laughed at that ... Once the rain came I'm sure people then cursed God as they were being drowned and still held their sin to the end ... Now look what is happening right now ... Your having many warnings bout what happened and what's to come as you know HE flooded the world so obviously HE is real and HE is mighty and powerful and is going to do what HE says as HE is faithful in all HIS ways wether we like it or disagree with it ... Your having chance after chance to repent and even right this moment if you are still breathing you have a chance to come to Jesus Christ so you have your chances ... When this world breaks here very soon if we live long enough to see it as we can leave here any second by a wreck or strangulation , murder , cancer or whatever it may be that takes us but in this season right now this generation will see Jesus return so my question to you is where do you want to stand ???? For HIM and receive mercy or against HIM and receive wrath like the world in Noah's day or Sodom and Gomorrah and the rest of the world who is against HIM? I would turn to HIM and think about it like this okay - if you go to heaven and you don't like it and want to leave in sure God will let you to go be with the rest of the world suffering and burning in hell in agony anytime your ready to leave just like lucifer and the third he took with him but if you go to hell ypur there stuck forever with no possible hope of every leaving to be with Jesus in heaven ... So which place do you want to start with ??? Turn to HIM my friend please ... He loves you even right now no matter what you've done HE wants to be in your life ... He's going to be a part of your life at some point or another its just how will HE that is the question ... Choose HIM my friend the love that HE is , is more powerful than the hurt you have in your heart and when you let go of that pain and hurt and fill it with HIS love your going to be floating on cloud 9 for a while and your going to want to feel that for ever and ever in heaven instead of hate and hurt and gnashing of teeth for eternity I promise ...
We all struggle. The fact that you realize it means that the Spirit is still speaking to your heart. Pray and draw near to God, He will draw near to you. Faith, Hope, Love.
Yasmin, Rev.22:18-19, says you can't add to or take away one word of this prophecy in this book.......But doesn't say you can't move the Chapters around for better understanding..... Remember Daniel 12:1.......Revelation Chapters 10, 7 and 14, are before the 1st Seal Rev.6:2.....
Lol what type of churches or Christian's do you ppl talk to....why would anyone be afraid to quote revelations? the churches I listen to and attend go through ALL parts of the bible. Look up bible way to heaven and you'll find good preaching too.
HopePhotoG I just find that a lot of Christians nowadays tend to shove the “GOD IS LOVE” concept a lot with out also acknowledging his wrath ya know? My church does but I mean online, no one really talks about the “scary” parts of the Bible, ig it’s too real for some people to handle.
Hearing this as a young teenager in this corrupt world made me realize that I know God. I know who He is but I don’t do what I’m supposed to as a follower of Christ. I do/ watch/listen to/read things that don’t please Him at times and it’s tough. I lack self control. With so much evil in this world it’s so hard. I pray to become saved and born again fully, so that I may spread the word and allow the Lord to thrive in me and use me as a vessel for His glory.
Just enjoy your life and don’t worry about religion holding you back, it just puts extra unneeded pressure on you, even as an atheist I feel bad for people who let things like this prevent them from living a stress free life
MemePerson no, if you live a carefree life, your spiritual and eternal life will suffer. This life is temporary, this isn’t the end, there is an eternal life and we need to follow God in order to receive the gift of salvation and enter into Heaven. God made rules for us to follow because He cares about us. Think of parents. They need to lay down rules for their children so they don’t hurt themselves. If we live in sin care free, not only will our current life here suffer, but our spiritual life will suffer even more.
This called to me because I know I’m following God but not enough. I’m not enough in his word. I’m not thinking, praying enough. I’m Christian but I don’t follow him closely enough. I don’t pray before eating. I don’t wonder if I’m doing good by him. I go to the Bible app everyday but I only read the verse of the day and watch the story they provide now. Sometimes I’ll read the word a little. I skim. I am not HOT enough for God. I should be ON FIRE for the Lord, but my faith is tepid and lukewarm. I’m ready to boil. I’m ready to be the Christian I should be but struggle to be. Thanks Becca for this wake up call!
I feel like Christians always feel pressured that, if we aren't completely and fully passionate and "on fire," all the time, that somehow we aren't enough. Ask any elderly Christian and they will tell you it is normal to not feel completely and utterly passionate in your spiritual walk 24/7; we go through different seasons of life that try us and challenge us. We go through waves of emotions and experiences. Happiness/Passion does not always equal being an on-fire christian; it's ok if you're not happy all the time. You are more than enough in God's eyes. And being a "good enough" christian is not constituted by how many times a day you read your bible, pray, go to church, do a devotional, etc. Christians might want to do these things as a way to connect closer to God, discover and grow in their faith, amd they might feel personally convicted to do more of that in their life, but I believe that it is unwise to use solely those activities as some sort of scale to measure how good of a christian you're being. Faith can be expressed in numerous ways. I know people who are very strong Christian's, but they sure didnt read their bible every single day or pray 7 times a week. Some people need to do that to be fulfilled, but these people I know just exude Christ through their everyday life, the way they treated others, and connecting to God in their own way. If you are feeling anxiety and fear about this, it isn't from God. Make decisions for your life out of peace in your heart and a sound mind
Feeling anxious is good. Uncomfortable situations makes you grow. Start fasting do meditation read scripture an pray every day before you go to sleep and after you wake up and then you will still feel sinful, because you are and the fact that you realize that and that you are perfecting yourself is a good sign that you are part of the elect.
@@Fashionbykileyblog No one is a perfect Christian, what this video is trying to do is reminding us Christians to do our best for God. Of course, we have to do it step by step and do it with a heart for God. But do not misunderstand this as "oh I am not a good enough Christian" because everyone lacks something tbh. It is a friendly reminder to remember eternity, put God first and value spending time with him more and more.
Christianity is not one decision then you live however you want. It’s a choice you make everyday to make God your Life. Edit: as you draw near to God, he draws near to you. He gives you strength and it gets easier. It’s worth it.
God gives the choice for one to live the way they want, it does not change their salvation. Salvation is by faith alone and when one is saved they are eternally secure. If one decides to live a sinful life, God will chastise them on this Earth according to Hebrews 12.
@@rhettnotlink My friend,no. Just cause some believes in Jesus doesn't mean he's going to heaven. That's like saying a terrorist believes in buddha so suddenly he's a buddhist? You have to obey Jesus commandments,sadly many "christians" don't even do Christ commandments. You see Jesus says Matthew 6:24 King James Version (KJV) 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT serve God and mammon/money. But "christians" work for money by Jobs.

@@Alejandro-tm8eq. Hi there I'm not arguing just passing on some scripture. The Bible gives a clear context of who is saved and is a false convert. A general sign of someone not believing is after a few years in church and telling others about Jesus troubles come and all of a sudden they become apostate, or better said its not that they believe they are not good enough to be with the Lord because they may have fornicated and feel terrible etc but that they don't truly believe, where as Jesus says himself he keeps us in the faith no matter what sins we commit before salvation and after we believed. Obviously because we believe we know we arnt licenced to do whatever we want, but some Christians stumble for years and some for a minute or so. It doesn't mean the person stumbling for years is any different than the Christian that does better. Etc etc. It is by faith we are saved, but you would be right that we should encourage the weaker brothers, but not right to claim God will reject them. Of course though there are those that confess Jesus name and they are clearly in the light of the word, unrepentant. For example Tod White is a preacher that says he has no internal temptation and struggle with sin. He also claims Kenneth Cope land and Benny hinn as his mentors and we know they are blasphemous, heretical and do what they do for money. But you should not push a believer to motivation By God's wrath being on him because it isn't, but he or she SHOULD do right we should say because of the holiness of God and what he had done for us and have knowledge of God from the bible to remind the believer why he should. The Bible tells us to exhort each other daily not tell us to work for our salvation and hope for the best. Ephesians 2 vs 8-9 Romans 4 1-7 Romans 11 vs 6 Romans 9 vs 16 Romans 3 vs 20-30 Romans 8 vs 30 Galatians 5 vs 4 Of course theirs more but the distinction is clear that there are false converts and those who are justified by, faith and through trials and testing it stands and through the errors they make it stands.
I am Joy I don’t ignore any of the Bible. I don’t believe it but I find it incredibly fascinating. Sometimes I worry that I’ve read more of the Bible than a lot of Christians. I try to learn about as many religions as I can and try and work out why people think what they do. In the future I’d like to learn more about Judaism because from what I understand that is a key base for Christianity although it’s the distinctions that I find really interesting.
Charlie Charlie what is a reason you don’t believe in the Bible? The Bible is a book of instructions. If you didn’t “ignore” them, the instructions would lead you to eternal life with God. But it’s good that you’re reading tho
Recently I was hanging out with one my best friends, who had been a lukewarm Christian her whole life. Out of the blue, she started talking about all the reasons she was so sure that Jesus couldn't possibly exist. Please, please, to the five people who might see this, pray for her. And remember to pray for not only for lukewarm Christians to step in the sun, but also that they don't loose Jesus anymore. God bless 🙏
Zuzanna Boruczkowska lmao ikr. I have no idea why this video was recommended to me. I guess the title could have been “Christians AND atheists will hate this video”
@@sandrac9823 It was recommended to me nonetheless. I figured it was ashiest content considering I watch those types of videos. Also, it's not exactly a crime to click on a video that isn't targeted towards you and leave a comment
It will be very soon! "The harvest is plenty, but the workers are few, therefore pray that the Workers are sent into the field" pray, pray, pray, pray, and pray with the burning groans of the deepest part of the soul! This is a true Prayer!
you are at the age when I walked away from Jesus for the next 15 years or so. Hope you do not make the same mistake as I did. Read the book of James it is so powerful for daily living. The King James is the most accurate my opinion.
@@ChaplainBobWalkerBTh agreed, and James is a fairly easy book to understand as it's amazingly straight forward. For a longer read once you're ready I would also go with Acts. An amazing book that just shows you the works of God through those who continuously seek Him and live for Him
Samael51760 I totally understand where you’re coming from and see why it looks like that for there are a lot of people that feel that way. but that is just what the world wants us to think. I have gone on a missions trip to India and Indonesia (Hindu nations) and preached the good news of Jesus Christ to Hindus and their hearts were softened to the only true and living God, our King Jesus Christ. No matter where you are born, what religion you are raised in, etc. God is knocking on everyone’s door inviting them into partnership with Him! It is just up to us to open it up!
Becca : you're gonna hate this video Me : yayyy i'm gonna love this video Thank you for this reminder. We must discipline ourselves and pray for the renewing of our mind 🙌🏻🔥Blessings 🙏🏼❤
I’m new to being a Christian I accepted Jesus during quarantine so I’m new to all of this but thank you for telling me I really do no not want be lukewarm.
You can’t lose you’re salvation, if you have put your full faith in Christ. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You might often wonder if you have “full” faith in Christ, but don’t get scared. Ask God to assure you. Have faith that He has given you faith and that He has saved you.
FIRST OF ALL : Why would anyone get mad at you for speaking the Word of God??? SECONDLY: Instead of unsubscribing, I just found this channel and subscribed... THIRDLY: Excellent message....
KJV Hebrews 4 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. If we were to cherish an habitual impression that God sees and hears all that we do and say and keeps a faithful record of our words and actions, and that we must meet it all, we would fear to sin. Let every man and woman ever remember that wherever they are, and whatever they do, they are in the presence of God. No part of our conduct escapes observation. We cannot hide our ways from the Most High. Human laws, though sometimes severe, are often transgressed without detection, and hence with impunity. But not so with the law of God. The deepest midnight is no cover for the guilty one. He may think himself alone, but toevery deed there is an unseen witness. The very motives of his heart are open to divine inspection. Every act, every word, every thought, is as distinctly marked as though there were only one person in the whole world, and the attention of heaven were centered upon them. KJV Psalms 139 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Being a lukewarm Christian is something that I've been stressing and worrying about, and a lot of it is what I've been doing. Thank you so much for your honesty and truth. God bless you, and please pray for me and my faith.
I pray the Lord will continue to open your heart and eyes to His glory and grace, that He will remove the branches that are bringing doubt, and prune you so you may grow the fruits of the spirit! The Lord has never left you, and He's always loved you!! :) I encourage you to read the Bible every morning, take time to do devotionals, and pray personally with God - being open about your feelings, and praying for strength, joy, and peace in yourself and your community each day (there is POWER in prayer !! :) ) Sometimes, it can be confusing and it's easy to become doubtful. But immerse yourself int he Lord. I have found by doing that during this time of isolation, He has opened and reached my heart more than I was allowing Him before, He has even opened doors for me to reach and meet new people!! Today, right now, has never been a better time to get closer to God and fulfil this purpose and continue on this journey He has for you, rich in joy, Blessings, grace, and mercy. God Bless you friend, I will keep you in my prayers. He's got you, and He will never let go
Try not to stress about it but instead pray about it. I have anxiety disorder so I know what it is to stress about things. Want us to stress about things he wants to hear our heart and to hear from us. I will be praying for you🤗
I had a heartbreaking conversation with a close friend about this last week. She’s currently not talking to me, but it was a conversation that lead to a lot of conviction in her heart. I’m praying she will open up, but even if she doesn’t, I’m happy I was able to plant a seed that God will water in time
I had attended warm church, but I told my husband that can't attend it anymore. So ,I found different church where I can learn more and be obedient to God
I am so glad I ran into this video. The “lukewarm Christian” definitely described me perfectly. We need a slap in the face like this. Thank you so much for this video. You have done an indescribable favor for the church as a whole. May God bless you and may your reward be great. A may not know you but you became my sister through Christ. Don’t be afraid or ashamed because the wise will have ears to hear and hunger for truth.
@Jerry Collins collins is a devil and is a common name among satanists. Harper collins publishers prints the satanic bible and gay porn. dark shadows an occult TV show about vampires featured the collins family. they want to tell you the bible is wrong and destroy your faith. they are of their father the devil and not knowing of the Bible since it is not their book.
If you want to transition from lukewarm Christian to a warm faithful Christian I advise you to TRULY LOVE JESUS! You might tell yourself I do love him, but in the Bible it says that if we want to prove that we truly love him we need to follow his commands. If you aren’t doing that you don’t love him like you say. Also repent of your sins. Don’t get confused of asking God for forgiveness and repentance. Asking God for forgiveness is like you aren’t ready to give up that sin, and you just want to say sorry to make yourself feel better! However if you TRULY want a change and are willing to go against your flesh and actually LEAVE it, that is what repentance is. Not going for the feeling better alternative of asking sorry... rather struggling with the process of repentance cause it is a journey. You will want to get back into bad habits of being lukewarm, but you need to persist in Jesus and keep asking him for hi strength and love. Amen and God bless!
Illness it's the best thing I've ever experienced I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO LOVES ME ! BECAUSE THAT PERSON CREATED ME AND EVERYTHING JESUS DID WAS FOR ALL OF US! HE GAVE HIS LIFE ON THE CROSS FOR US ☺ HOW IS TRUTH ,LOVE AND FAITH AN ILLNESS?
Thanks for his reminder. I don’t Wang to keep asking God for forgiveness but yet keeps backsliding into my sins. How do I do this, sometimes the temptation is so great I fall back into it and I feel trashy afterwards. I need to keep praying for God to give me strength and wisdom to overcome the temptation of my flesh, and to persist in him and his love, am I right 😭
I use say that also God is good. But know now that is a " man" teaching/saying " God is good! He is good!" Reply by church " all the time" I now know better, Maybe they got it from this scripture 👇 Psalms 73:1 [1](A Psalm of Asaph.) Truly 👉God is good to Israel, 👈👉even to such as are of a clean heart.👈 They dropped words ? n just say God is good. Another saying of man teaching is god love sinners n hate sin. Scriptures show in old testament those in nation Israel who caught with sin at two or more witnesses, died. But in new testament the messia brought love unmerited favour to the law, he said he didnt come condemn but that thru him we can have life. Father thru his servant gave us chance to repent n turn from our sins, n change n sin no more. He came to pay for our sins with his blood so those who BELIEVE may have a chance to be sealed w HOLY SPIRIT n name written in book of life. We all nd read more the bible otherwise we dont even know if what a person bring is their opinion is true regards to WORD of most high.
That's usually a good indication what you've heard is the Truth. The Truth always compels you to draw closer to Truth. It often hurts, but in a healing, transforming way. The pain is conviction. Conviction leads to repentance. Repentance is such a beautiful thing 💛💛
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever." - Psalms 111:10
Me too. I'll be praying for your friend search as I keep going on mine. I lost a lot of "Christian" friends when I started trying to be more like Jesus and less like the world.
Sasa Nodlesh his commandments are love they god with all they heart and soul And love love other as u would love yourself. Because those are the ones that really matter.
The commandments are in layers. At the top are two "great" commandments which sum everything but are very general. In the middle are "ten" that give more details, but are still general. At the bottom are hundreds of "least" commandments which give the details of the headings in the upper two layers. The term "least" generates thoughts of them not being important. But in Matthew 5:19 Jesus warns against breaking any of the "least" commandments and teaching others to do likewise.
Jesus has fulfilled the law. (Matthew 5:17-18) Jesus is saying that if you love Him and have faith in Him, He will change you to follow these commandments through sanctification. It is a process when we follow Him we become justified before God through Jesus. We can not earn anything. We also can't keep His commandments, hence why we need Jesus as the perfect mediator.
Oh my gosh, this made me realise so many things. We are so blessed to be able to spread the gospel freely and we still don't do it. Conviction hit me like a truck
Absolutely. When I think about what the apostles suffered in order to spread the gospel, I realize how easy we have it to spread the good news and yet don't bc we start caring more about how the world sees us than how God sees us.
Justine Spink yes! Someone pointed out to me, the apostles really lived as if it was their last day because they knew either Jesus was coming back or they were going to be killed for preaching the word, and that’s a way to live
Dont worry brother, if your conscience is telling you to strengthen then it is a sign of change and growth as a Christian, it is the Holy Spirit in you calling you to listen and act on it.
@cosmichxneyy ive got into a fight with my mom last night, when i discovered this video. After this, i prayed for forgiveness to God, and just made up with my mom this morning!
I am so GRATEFUL to attend a church where my pastor does exactly what you did in this: telling the truth. He does not sugar coat things and he ALWAYS talks about repentance. It's so important and unfortunately it's so difficult to know that once we hear the truth we want to run away because we want the good stuff not the hard stuff. Thank you for making this video!
So the modern church is continuing what the evil Roman church started. “Don’t read your Bible. We know Th e truth. Turn of Burn!” I don’t sin because it’s not good not because I’m worried God is gonna put me in a. @hotter part of hell@ Btw hell means Athena Sheol or Hades those are the original words.
@Alaina Howard church is where we all come together to pray our lord Jesus. So come together with your family with members two or more and your home becomes church of our saviour. And bible is easy to understand so read it for your family and your the one who becomes pastor for your family. Its only Jesus who needs to guide you and not a common man.

And thank you so much for bringing up the persecuted Christians in countries like China and North Korea. They've been on my heart for the longest time since I'm a Christian Asian-American and want to do anything I can to help them experience the joy and love of Jesus Christ. I'm definitely checking out that website - thanks again!
@@chitownagnostic7150 Personal experiences. If you have not yet committed your life to Christ, you will never experience the supernatural way He communicates with you. If you are looking for an intellectual approach, you may want to look up Josh McDowell. Early on, his teachings appealed to my intellect. Best wishes and many prayers that you can open your heart, ditch your ego, and experience the one True Love that only Christ can offer.
I'm not gonna try to justify it, and I will straightforwardly say that I need God's help. I'm becoming lukewarm again, and I'm asking for prayers right now. I can't do this alone..
Its not about sinning. Its about believing. The counsel to Laodicea was to “Buy gold refined in the fire.” Thats a reference to faith.You all are like sheep without a shepherd. Making up conclusions as you go along.
Bernges LoL! Sounds like you do not care for Truth because even prevalent atheist admit that there is proof of Jesus’ life here in earth. Maybe do a little more research? And, arrogance doesn’t look good on you.
@@bernges7228 I don't want to come off as rude, since you cannot hear my tone. So I say this humbly to you. 🙂 It has been proven, that Jesus lived and walked this planet. Please take the time to do some independant research and you will come to know the truth. I will pray that He helps you come to the truth. Be blessed
Hell no, both of you sound arrogant af. Proof doesn't exist, there is only evidence. That's not the same. And it exists only for 2 events from the Bible, his being baptised by John and crucified by Pontius Pilatus. We can be reasonably sure that there was a guy acting either as a rabbi or a revolutionary who may or may not have used the name Jesus. Funny you should tell me to look for independent research when most scholars agree that besides these 2 events the gospels are most likely utter rubbish
Being lukewarm is easy. I’ve realized how lukewarm I am and I’m happy to know this. Trying to break out of being lukewarm isn’t easy, but it’s well worth it. I’m happy for all that God has done for me and all He’s given. What I wanna do now is do my best to live my life how He wants me to because of how much He loves me. Being able to give to others because of how much He’s given is smtg I wanna do even more so as well. Ofc there’s sm more I want to do but like any relationship, it takes time. And with a relationship as intimate as one with God, I’m going to enjoy every minute of it. God bless you for this video! Thank you!

as soon as you said the disclaimer: i was like "no rebuke me, i need it i wanna be better for Jesus" in my head. we must be open to rebuke and discipline. thank you!!! speaking as the prophets in the OT did; calling out sin and drawing them to God.
I'm 14 years old and this video really helped me because, I haven't been growing up in a very religious family and sometimes I don't know who exactly to go to for advice and help on religion. Thank you so much for helping me understand ‼️❤️ Now I am aware of the things that I need to work on
Im 14 too, and i have some stuff to work on also, but we cant do it of our own, the lord has to help us, he will send tests for us to pass until eventually, the sin fades away
•[Smol_Shady Shadow Kun]• Wow it really depresses me that people are growing up still believing in this. I went to a Christian school and lived in a Christian household and like many Atheists I grew up as a Christian. The thing is I also grew up believing in the Tooth Fairy and Santa but the older I got the more ridiculous those stories sounded. The exact same is true for the Bible. Having said that I’d be genuinely fascinated to know why you have chosen to believe Christianity because stubborn as a I might come across, I actually enjoy finding out why people believe things I don’t and that’s probably the reason I get in so many arguments even though I have relatively good intentions.
I have been saying these same exact things for the last almost two years and was beginning to think I was just being ridiculous because that's what people will say. "But Christians aren't supposed to judge" is a very popular response, but that statement itself is definitely out of context. Thank you so much for being bold and standing for truth and not being afraid of the negative response that this sort of thing always brings.
I know right?? I reposted this as a blog post on my blog and everybody was against me, saying that I was too judgemental and they even showed me verses to support what they were saying. Now I feel terrible.
On many verses it talks about Christian judging, but people who aren't Christians, because many Christians don't judge in the condition of sinner of a person but they judge on what the person wears, the color of the persons skin etc, also if you are trying to reach out to somebody the best way to do it is not by straight up judging the person, but by making the person realize the danger that they are on because if somebody doesn't know that they are in a sinful path then they will most likely close their hearts and not listen to what you are saying, now if there is a Christian in a congregation that is clearly sinning, acknowledging the sin, and rather than looking for help they down play it in a way as good to do that sin , or they are being like a stone in the way that the newly formed Christians are getting a bad idea from them or they are deviating from the gospel because of this Christians, then calling them out is the answer, but not in public, but in secret you tell them what they are doing and why it is a bad testimony for newer Christians, and if they don't acknowledge it and keep on their practice, then you take 2 or three more people who see the same thing as you and you talk to that person with 3 the three people that you chose, and if they still don't comply, then you go to the Pastor, and let him handle it
Jackson siba Akollo there is nothing to feel bad about. If someone felt judged by your repost, they are probably who this video is talking about. It’s easy to become lukewarm but some are comfortable staying the same. God is looking for people to serve Him with their whole heart and go about it HIS way not theirs. Truth is always going to be unpopular.
Hi friend, ,,you not rightly deviding the word of truth 2 Tim 2 v 15 KJV Al your questions can be found and answer when you rightly devide see A birds eye view from Rodney Bealiuw blessings or Scotty Clarke and many other
Natalie Arlene “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 7:21 Pretty much what this video is about. If people truly believe Jesus died and rose from the dead for our sins then works must follow, not that we’re saved by works, but it comes with following Jesus and something you must do.
Another thing many churches don’t preach is while Jesus hung on that cross, the wrath of almighty God poured out on Him. He was crushed for our sins. The sin He took on, yours and mine, HAD to be atoned for! There was a price for them. Not an earthly price, but a spiritual price. Gods righteous anger was poured out on Christ. For YOU and for ME! All the anger God had toward our sins, Christ payed for. Jesus suffered physically and spiritually, but then rose again on the 3rd day. Our sins having been atoned for. Thank You Jesus!
Sort of but not exactly. God's wrath was not poured out on Christ in any semblance of Anger or distaste. The consequences of Jesus taking all of the Earth's sins on himself was separation from his father and the Holy Spirit. For the first time in infinity, he was no longer able to hear or speak with his Father. Jesus, being 100% human, completely relying on his faith in his Father to be live. This separation caused so much emotional turmoil and damage to Jesus he died of a broken heart. God has no wrath in the way humans do. For Jesus this separation was unbearable. He was unable to live without the Father and the Holy Spirit. This is the consequence of Sin. Separation with God. God loves all. Even the vilest sinner. He sometimes is forced to cut out this cancer to protect others but he does it as a loving surgeon not a angry butcher.
@@vegitagt closer, but still not right. God is immutable, therefore the Logos can never be out of full communion with the Father and Holy Spirit. Protestants have incorrect theology regarding Christ's sacrifice, and that leads to a misunderstanding on all sorts of other issues "down the river," so to speak.
What a disgusting belief! You do realize that's a pagan concept don't you? Sacrificing a living thing to make God feel better? You would first have to belief God is an asshole. YUCK \
I love this. I'm a beginner in my repentance to Jesus Christ. I feel him in my heart and want so much for him to shower me with his spirit. Please pray that I take the narrow road.
Did you know that gods name is Jehovah Psalms 83:18 Jehovah is god and Jesus is Jehovah god precious son, the trinity is a false Doctrine in fact the word Trinity itself cannot even be found in the Bible jw.org
You have no idea how much I NEEDED this! I am more of a lukewarm than I thought I was. I wanna be better. I want to become a better Christian! Please pray for me.😔🙏🏾
Prayer from Optimist Prime "Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you are the true Son of God and that you died on the cross to rescue me from my sins, death and to restore me to heaven to be with the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit.

I believe you are the way, the truth, and the light. I accept you into my heart, into my soul, and into my mind. I choose to serve you and to receive your love and forgiveness. I ask you to take your rightful place in my life as my Lord and Savior. please lord of lords and king of kings come reign your peace, love, and happiness into my heart and into my soul. fill my heart and my soul with your love and your life, and help me to become a better person who is truly loving and trusting -a person like you. Please cleanse my mind, body, and soul from the demonic entities that have been tormenting me my whole life. may the blood from your sacrifice wash my sins away and restore my mind, body and soul in your name Jesus Christ. allow me to Live, Love, Learn and grow through you. please bless my soul in your holy name, the heavenly father, and the holy spirits name and help replenish the strength of my mind, body, and soul in your honor. Thank you, God of the Holy Land and the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen"., 36 TrueJoy Journey with Amanda Freitas
Paul Mallory Trust me there is. The Bible amazing prophercies and it would not make sense that earth would randomly form life out of nowhere. Everything is designed to meant for our needs and operate so uniquely. God loves you and seek for the word of Christ and he will transform you. Make sure you read the whole thing so that you understand how significant The Bible is. The Bible has made several prophercies which people would call predictions. For an example a Book named Daniel written around 567 BC had a prophet that received several prophercies. At first he was given a dream and it was a tall statue which had a golden head that represented Babylon, than a silver chest and arms that represented The Mid Persians, and than the belly of brass which is Greece, and than the iron feet that is Roman Empire, than feet (ten toes) was to be the ten kingdoms of Roman Empire split, than rock out of the sky crushes the statue into pieces which is to represent Jesus Christ coming. The King and Daniel was confused at first until a angel explained Daniel what it meant. Also saying that a Greek King will conquer the Mid Persians who is known as Alexander the Great (born around 356 BC). Than another dream occurred to Daniel which shows a the first animal that is Babylon and than another animal that defeats Babylon who is the Mid Persians but than gets defeated by a leopard which is Greece (Fun fact: Alexander the Great army tactic was known to be really fast and conquer really fast which is probably why God represented Alexander the Great army as a leopard) but the leopard is defeated by a brutal animal that has horns who is the Roman Empire (known to be the most brutal) than it begins to grow ten horns which is ten kingdoms 486 AD which is Anglo-Saxons,Franks ,Allemans ,Burgundians, Visigoths, Suevi, Vandals, Heruli, Bavarians, Ostrogoths and one of the horns has white hair stays until the end that is Jesus Christ and 3 horns get destroyed and one small horn grows which speaks great things, change set times and opress the Holy people which is the Roman Catholic/ Pope that is antichrist (They have changed worship day from Saturday to Sunday and changed Gods Laws) they are really dominant in power. Another Book (with a lot symbolism but can be translated is past translation meanings to the symbols in Bible) called revelation is the last book and written around 60 AD and it prophercies the USA and Roman Catholic, it says the second beast that a small group of people will be in land but people will go to the land and it will speak like it is representing God (In God we Trust dollar bill and in past history they tried to speak for God) but it will slowly speak like a dragon (dragon means Satan, which we can see it has given gay rights, abortion rights, ban of freedom of prayer and a lot more) and it will give back the power to the first beast that is Roman Catholic/ Pope antichirst which rises waters (waters mean peoples) and people will say “who would want to wage war this guys” and angel says that it has “seven heads are seven mountains one which the woman is sitting.” If you Google search: cities seven mountains you will see the Vatican City which is where the Roman Catholic antichrist throne is located, revelation “The woman you saw is the important city which dominates the kings of the earth.” The Bible is pretty stunning and has a lot more Truth into it. Do you think a book will be made without a creator? Was DNA was made from nothing or did it have a creator who is God The Father. If there is no evidence to support other theories to deny God that why try to believe than try to believe God for eternal life. God is loving and forgiving and will try to save you if you turn to him. God has always been right and he will come soon. God The Father (our creator), Jesus Christ (died for us and has strong evidence) and The Holy Spirit (consience to help us lead to righteousness). Have a good day!
Paul Mallory that’s interesting you state that. The death and resurrection is one of the most proven historical facts known to man. Atheists can’t even argue with that as a fact. You say God does not exist?? Right, then how do you know your alive? How do you know that you exist? If God did not exist then you would not be able to speak out against Him as you already do. Makes no sense. Your an atheist not because you don’t believe in God but because your not willing to accept responsibility for your actions. Your to lazy to find the truth for yourself.
Pr.incorporated Jesus said that he will give you challenges.But if you trust him,and know your saved.You will not always have anxiety,that’s not what Jesus preached.
Zachary Hecita not really true . I’ve been on a long journey with Christ and the more I grow as a child of God, the more comfortable I am, living and walking in the Spirit. While we will never be completely content on this earth, we can find some peace in communion with the Lord. I pray one day you can feel that and feel closer to the Lord where you understand this isn’t your home but yet you can patiently await His coming and be content in that, while being in constant worship with Him.
I think this message is so important and I'm glad Becca brought this to light. I had my own encounter with the realization that I was lukewarm about 2 years ago. I can't remember the exact circumstances, but I commented on a RU-vid video about political issues and Christianity, and I said something that basically expressed that I was willing to override what I knew was right to make others comfortable. Many days later that comment got a reply that said, "Oh look, another lukewarm Christian!" and it felt like a punch in the gut. I was so convicted and just horrified by how much I'd taken God's grace for granted. I was angry about it for the longest time until I realized I should be thankful that a random RU-vid commenter had the guts to tell me what everyone in my life could see but wouldn't say. I started actually trying to seek God rather than seek a lifestyle that looks like I am.
Wow this is very encouraging, you're right especially about that last part. It's about seeking God and not about changing our lifestyle. I do believe once we seek the Lord out of a pure heart and do that consistently it will be impossible to stay lukewarm
I believe God spoke to me 5 years ago to reassure me that I had been saved but in my heart I always want to be and do more as a Christian. A real, passionate love for the Lord is a fire that cannot be put out. A thirst that cannot be quenched.
Be careful Suzanne. As an ex-witch who came back to Christ, I believed that the Archangel Michael spoke to me. When I called upon Jesus to see what would happen, well...masquerading as an angel of light as the bible says. Lucifer uses a mix of truth and lies. I dont doubt your passion for the Lord one second, I can feel it through your words. But salvation is not a thing that happens and you are good to go for the rest of your life. It sounds a lot like the new age things I was into. I'm not dismissing your claim, just be careful. Act like if you are not saved. Too many Christians think they are saved and become lazy. It doesn't seem to be your case at all but better be safe than sorry. God bless.
@@Hellpharmacist1 Salvation is a one time thing. Living the Christian Life is another so let's make a difference. I would be careful with visions because you hear these stories and realize they go against scripture. If you had such a vision just rely on the word of God instead of a vision you saw. It was probably your mind or even a devil masqueraded as an angel of light as it warms in 2 Corinthians.
Issac Moreno i agree with you and not in an arrogant tone but would very much stress on the fact that there is NO way to grow in Christ or know that you are growing in Christ except through your continuous love, study and understanding of the word. No amount of good works, visions, healings or prayers can be even used as an indicator to your assurance of salvation. All of those are biblically a result of salvation and not complimentary to salvation. And this is key to being born again - salvation or being born again is a one time thing just like a birth in the seen world. And once you are, if you lack spiritual growth it is because there is no food of the word (whether milk or strong meat in growth) and lack of "spiritual parenting" to compare it with new born babes. And that is revealed in the ministry if the church through pastors, apostles, evangelists and the like. And we must remember that each of those ministries are not exclusive of each other for a particular member in the body of Christ.
@@joelmamachan9219 Exactly. All because one is is ignorant of scripture or carnal does not mean they are not saved they are just a babe or backslidden. They need to read and meditate on the word of God so they can grow and be close to God and know the scriptures. When knowing this, they will slowly conform to God's word and if not will be chastened by God in this Earth just as how our parents would spank us. God does this because he cares about us so we can learn and get on the right path to live a Godly life and serve him. That has nothing to do for salvation but rather ones fellowship with God. Salvation happens once and once you're saved nothing changes that.
I’m so shocked. One week ago I asked and prayed until I cried for the Lord to help me in this solo journey (my family unfortunately has lost faith) and your video popped up at the right time. You’re such a blessing in this world, from the bottom of my heart I love you and anyone who reads this, you are NOT alone
For my whole life I’ve been the “lukewarm” Christian that read a verse once a week and depended on going to church to get me through the week. I depended on my pastors words to fill me up. I FINALLY started and actually STUDYING what the Bible says. I’ve read these verses for YEARS and I’m finally just now understanding it. Every word is true. My life now is a REFLECTION of Gods grace and now I want to seek His words. Now I’m not begging people to come to church but instead am showing them the church, God in me.
The thing is, if no one talked about this, I would not be as close as I am to God now. I would not love those who hurt me. I would get to heaven and be discouraged when the Lord tells me I didn't strive to be a good servant. I would fake my religion because "that is good enough". But because people DO warn and DO preach all parts of the Bible, I can actually follow the Jesus that the Bible speaks of. I can actually know that it is truly HIM I serve. And I don't have to worry if my half-hearted religiousity will be enough for me when this is all said and done. I'm not gonna go 50%. I'm gonna go all the way. Praying that this video reaches more people who are believers or churchgoers, so they can get to know God more!!💖
So you need to be scared into loving God? Just another perfect example of what’s wrong with the Church Body and has been. Following the teachings of men who say TURN OR BURN. Eternal Conscious torment is a doctrine of demons. Because once you believe God could/would/does burn his CHILDREN for BILLIONS OF TRILLIONS of years... then your foundation of God is just wrought with a depiction of something much other than a whole loving God. Being perfect- being Holy-and just doesn’t prove why Hell is real so don’t try saying that either.
I don't know if you're saying this because you don't believe in God, but my depiction of God is found straight from the Bible. Yes, God absolutely loves us and my relationship with Him is built on absolute love and adoration of who He is and what He's done for me. He is always with me and I couldn't ask for anything better on this earth as long as I live. However, because I am a stubborn, prideful human being, many times I can get comfortable in my relationship with Him and almost live as if God "owes" me something. Let me be straight up with you: God doesn't owe us ANYTHING. He created us and He gets to decide what to do with us if our hearts are hardened. If you want to follow the God of the Bible, you HAVE to live a 'radical' life for Him. And even if someone says that I can go to hell for being lukewarm, at least I'll get into heaven, instead of being comforted into hell. I think it's pathetic to think that we deserve for God to give us something when we don't wanna go all out for Him. As if our puny little life is worth more than His Son's sacrifice for us. But remember, we see all throughout Scripture how God only condemns someone when they have turned away from God and don't wanna listen to Him. He is kind and gentle to those who walk with Him in purity. And I'd rather be on that side, than living a fake Christian life. No one likes to hear that, but God is litterally my everything and many times people stay so distant from Him because they don't see that He's soooo worth it to go 100%. I want you to know that I'll be praying for you and that Jesus loves you. Like a lot. Please just take some time to put off your preconceived ideas about his character and who he is, and just seek answers with an open mind. And thank me later. Have a good day :)
I should have clarified. I have always been a believer. When I was 14 I almost moved into a Roman Catholic adult. I don’t have friends and never had a GF. I’ve struggled with depression and and still live at home. I realize I I have faults. What I’m saying is idk what’ person calls themselves Christians but doesn’t Think God is judging. If you have all the right answers and say “Jesus Burns People” because “my bible tells me so” or “my pastor and everyone told me so” If you do ANY research you will see it’s a DAMNED lie and once you believe Jesus Christ burns BILLIONS for BILLIONS of years how can you claim to know the truth? You Christians who believe in that love to talk about “another Jesus” or “anti-Christ spirit” But wrongly describing the attributes of SATAN to Jesus is NOT GOOD or Biblical. Look up AION HADES SHEOL GHENNA
I had a dream Saturday morning about this very issue. And felt a urgency on this topic. I had a dream that I was sick. I don’t remember how I was sick, I just remember knowing I was sick. Before I woke up my grandpa who’s a retired pastor and my brother who is currently in seminary were laying hands on me and praying for me for what felt like hours. They said the same thing over and over. They said, “God let her be hot or cold, make her hot or cold.” I woke up and instantly thought of the verse you just read at the beginning of this video. I knew this was a God dream and this video is confirmation. It’s time to get serious. Not just for me. But we have to get serious as believers!

I was a lukewarm "Christian" for years. It wasn't until late last year that I was convicted of my sin (through a fellow believer who called me out). I suddenly understood repentance and was given the strength to leave my sinful life behind. I've been discipled regularly since then and it's been so encouraging to see how I've grown in just a few months. I have sin still of course, but my attitude towards it is changing and I now desire to do what's right not because of what others think of me but because I want to glorify Christ. Thank you so much for this reminder Becca! We all need more of this! :)
@Jerry Collins so much blasphemy in one comment. I pray the lord open your eyes. Nothing you're saying is scriptural or biblical at all. You just called Jesus satanic. 😳 everything you just said is demonic and satanic and a message strait out of hell.
Jerry Collins why is it so hard for you to have a hope? Didn’t you know for what you see and accept depends on a good deal where you are standing? In Old Testament the fight was among flesh and blood but Jesus said now the fight is against the rulers of the darkness of the world, against a spiritual wickedness in high places. If you really only read the Old Testament then you would get to a point where you understand that Jesus has to come just not to make bad people good but to make died people alive. I don’t know who taught you what you have said but stop slaving your soul for what ever poison you feed your mind!
@@nahs636 if you read his comment, the core of his message is racism, he thinks Jews are evil. The reason this man thinks our lord and savior is satanic is because he himself worships the devil and spreads the message the devil revealed to him and convinced him of. Only the demonic would call Jesus evil and the son of the devil. It's literally a message against christianity, same lie the devil told adam and eve. Even the Old Testament would tell him his message is demonic if he actually understood anything the Old Testament says and talks about. The man that made the above comment is of his father the devil and does his fathers work. Textbook demonic inspiration spews from what he's saying. Anyone filled with the holy spirit would want to vomit reading what he said because of the sheer blasphemy, he has blasphemed the holy spirit which is an unforgivable sin, he literally talks like the foolish pharasies in the bible who accused Jesus of being possessed by beelzebub. The man above has made his choice, and believers are to have nothing to do with evil. Jesus talked about men like him, they do the work of their father the devil, and considering the guy thinks sin was never the problem speaks volumes and says he LOVES his evil deeds and refuses to come to the truth because he loves being evil. Ignore everything he said above and take it for what it is, a message from the devil.
katlin jones katlin jones one of the worst thing of having a knowledge apart from God is it made people feel like they know everything to the extent and no one knows better than them. The first encounter of having a knowledge apart from God is when the serpent talks with eve, he made a very tempting and dangerous claim he said to her your eyes will open and you will not die. As you can see he told her one truth and another deadly lie. I feel pity for the guy who wrote that he got one life to live and he made it as hateful as possible. I hope he understand some day his life means nothing without having Jesus in it. Once a man knows Jesus, having personal relation with him at that right moment all his life will be different. We can’t possibly know who we are until we know who God really is.
I could write a essay on my journey from Progressive luke warm Christian to Being a CHRISTIAN! Thanks for posting this. Praise God when we seek Him with all our heart we will find him.
Before watching this video, I honestly had no idea of how "lukewarm" I am; I thought that since I pray every day and read the bible everyday I am fine. It was great to be called out on some of the ways that I am a lukewarm christian because now I can see ways to grow in my faith! I also had NO idea of the persecuted asian americans so THANK YOU for opening my eyes to this! God bless you!!
Jesus said, “If the world hates you, remember it hated me first.” I try to talk about Jesus’ love whenever I get the opportunity , to anyone that is willing to listen! Praise God! Thank you! 🙏🕊❤️ And, I didn’t wince or shy away from your message. I agree with everything you said. Thank you for spreading Gods word! 🕊
The list she read is me. I need to decide God or the world, there is no middle ground. Thank you for this video, I struggle a lot with full commitment to God for several reasons. It warms my heart to know God moves through faithful servants that are transparent about the word, I don't like lukewarm Christians yet I myself still struggle from it.
I was that Christian up until a week ago, proclaiming God yet still smoking pot. God gently kept nudging me saying put it down Monica its an idol in your life. I acknowledged the voice but kept doing it, "Yea God I will soon k?" Still that still small voice "Monica this isn't what I planned for your life". Finally I put it down for good, I made a conscience effort to die to my flesh and say No More!! Praise God!!! In just a short amount of time since God has placed in me a new fire for Him and His word!! I have wasted so many years for the Lord it pains my heart. Yet I know God's grace and mercy is still over me and I may have to run harder than ever before but Run I will!!! Thank you for the absolute truth not watered down. God chastens those whom He loves. What a beautiful God Almighty we serve. I am not perfect by all means I struggle daily, dying to my flesh. I now cry out for Gods people "Jesus believers" that our hearts would be set on fire for HIM! That we may shine bright as in Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Amen Thank you Sister
@@morriahmcdonald4040 actually God spoke to me that its an idol in my life. When He speaks and corrects us its for our benefit. Jesus didnt drink wine to get drunk either. Sorry but you are incorrect. Thou shall have no other God's before me. Part of the Ten Commandments.

Winkepedia indeed, is great for gathering meta-data, origin of words, across the vast languages, multiple interpretations, setting, timing, and placement, makes for how media, the press, understand how important that labels are rigid and critical thinking requires out of the box thinking. ....

@@JoyDaz00 I would hope that I was pointing out that the militant athiest loves trolling and will spend countless hours, consumed with dissecting with certainty, that people who believe in Jesus, are stupid, on and on. In the age of AI, why would God, as a subject of debate, be so threatening. Why debate anything? Notice the list is a cheat sheet. Christian.
Lord, please forgive me of my sins. Turn my heart towards you always. Thank you for dying for me and my family. Help me to always seek you first. I am a filthy rag who needs to be saved. I need your grace and mercy. Please help me..
Why are typing your prayer why are you making it public. Matthew 6:1-6 "Be careful not to do your `acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
@@REY-C "For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart"....I don't mean to accuse you of judging this person, because I think you mean well, but it kind of sounds like you may have misinterpreted her prayer as being hypocrytical because she posted it publicly here, when she really just wants to join in with other believers and express her heart to the Lord publicly, because she feels scared and alone mabey, and she needs prayer from others for her and her family.........please give her a break.......I really think she's sincere in the Lord, and only God knows the true intent of one's heart!☺ Blessings💜
usa, In your 5th sentence you wrote, "who needs to be saved". So I am reacting to that. To be saved by Jesus is to trust with confidence and understanding that when Jesus died and rose, He removed ALL of your sins; past present and future! Do this and you are 100% redeemed and saved.....I can recommend to you a very good bible teaching site, teachingfaith com and their teaching series titled, 'change of mind' which is very good on teaching the basics of salvation in Jesus. It helped me a lot. All the content there is free..in ebooks & streaming videos.
This is what you get when you take a verse out of context. There is no fear in God. He NEVER EVER uses fear. And God does not HATE lukewarm. Well read the verse.. you will not find the word HATE. He said He was about to spit them out. NO WHERE does it say they are lost or will be lost forever. ALL this MAN added to that verse. He told them to just repent.. yep.. that easy.. but that CHURCH had need of nothing.. Father forgive us
It brought tears to my eyes!!!! I've recently struggled with starting to get so conformed to worldly patterns and for a moment I found myself craving things I did not need and getting distracted from the eternal. This totally speaks right to my heart!
I cried watching this. It's so deep and true. Thank you for saying this. Lately I've been trying to work on my faith and grow my relationship with God. And this video really helped.
while we're talking about the persecution of Christians, I'd like to bring up the persecution of Muslims in places like China as well... as a follower of Christ I believe we should fight for all of God's children.
@Sippy Sip the difference between muslims and christians is that Christ is needed to be saved; we all have sinned and we need someone that beared our sins so that we may forgiven.
This video is spot on. I’ve been struggling with trying to find ways to give back to the poor & have holy boldness when it comes to ministering to others. When I was telling people about Jesus they put me on a pedestal at my job and any little thing I did wrong was held against me for the longest. But I’m tired of being stagnant in my faith & getting blessed with worldly things and not the spiritual. I needed this message 🙌🏾 thank you so much sister ♥️
Plus the fact that you’re an African American woman a lot of people in a particular political party will be upset with you for not “falling in line” and being a super hardcore liberal who supports abortion, which is basically just population control of minorities. Sorry if that’s being brutally truthful but we need to be aware of what Satan is up to without dwelling on it and getting anxiety from it.
Are u baptized , have u accepted the Lord Jesus as your Lord and savior , if u did ur saved , in life we are the number 1 target to the devil , don't live for things of the earth but for God alone
Lukewarm Christianity is almost the only kind of "Christianity" where I'm from. I'm sick to death of it and have been for many years. It's hard to find believers who are real. I know some, praise God, so so few unfortunately.
Seems to be quite fashionable for Christians to trash talk and condemn their fellow Christians. If you can't stand lukewarm Christians, try getting to know a few atheists. You won't find any lukewarm Christianity in them.
@@socksumi I don't think it's really trash talk to point out that God said they are worse than people who outright reject him. It's a call to action not a call to shame.
I am definitely not discouraged after watching this video but as a new Christian,I understand what I should not do.And thank you for giving me these pointers✝️🤙🏽
Reading peoples comments makes me sad. I can’t believe how many people have been fooled into thinking that all they have to do is pray a prayer and they are saved. I can’t believe how many people pick and choose Bible verses to try and justify living in sin. We need to read the whole Bible. Not just verses that make us feel good. If people read the whole Bible, they would know how important it is that we take up our cross, die to self, flee sin and bear fruits worthy of repentance. Faith without works is dead. We are saved by grace alone yes. We don’t have to do a job to get saved. But we have a job to do once we are saved.
Kayla M How are we to interpret the Bible if so many people read the same verses and come to a different conclusion? I’ve had this question for so long.
Rhett Not Link hi Rhett, can you please give me an example? I believe what you are talking about is when people take a verse and use it out of context. Being filled with the Holy Spirit will open up the scriptures to a person. The Bible needs to be read and studied in context. We have concordances to help with studying God’s word and of course one should always pray for wisdom and understanding. God’s word doesn’t change. But I don’t believe a fleshly person who is not born again, can understand the things which are spiritual as it is the spirit who leads and guides us into truth.
Auntie Ro 💖💕 Christians do have everything easy. No desire to learn or grow they just blindly follow a 2,000 year old book and haven’t changed their outdated views in millennia.
@@charliecharlie7670 Because they find God and His forgiveness in that book and naturally start to trust it to be His word? Because there are literally legions of theologians and apologetics dedicating their lifes to zeitgeist questions? Where is the 'blindly'? And which views exactly are outdated and why?
@@charliecharlie7670 I hope you find Christ . Nothing is blindly. We chose to do it. If you are doing it blindly then ur probably not saved or a true Christian .
So relatable for a lot of Christians 🧡 It should be considered as a wake up call rather than condemnation, for changing mind, changes lives. Open rebuke is better than hidden love. Every day we should go back to God. Confession of sin is a MUST! Thank You for the preaching 😊 Godbless 🧡
I was rlly expecting something completely different than this. It was curiosity of what brought me here. As I watched I realized that God brought me here for a reason. A minute ago I was just wandering about how to love myself since I know and realize that wanting to change something about yourself is not right. I’m not perfect but I’m learning to have a stronger faith in God. I have a wonderful family that raised us all in christianity so I’ve never been ashamed of God thinking that there weren’t people who hated God. I grew up with people loving God and going to church every week. But my roots weren’t strong enough. A loving family wasn’t enough. I need to build a strong faith with God. Thank you so much for doing this video. You truly have changed the way I think and I think that what you’re doing is so great. May God Bless you!💜
This hit me so hard, and at first I was like nahh, this isn’t me, but truly this is me! Thank you Jesus for your grace and mercy🙏🏽 Thank you for having the courage to speak the truth!! The Bible says the truth will set us free
As a young man growing up with the internet and things being thrown at me left and right... It’s hard not to struggle with lust. As a 19 year old who lives on his own and can barely afford to eat food after He pay all his bills, It’s hard not to be be selfish. I do not give enough, I do no tithe, and if I’m being completely honest I do not want to tithe if that means I could starve. I also have lied about many things, and I continue to live the lies I’ve set out years ago... I know there is power in prayer, and I pray that I can finally turn away from this sin in my life. That I can fight the battle everyday and win not just because I fear god, but because I should act as though I love him as well. *The fruit of my tree is rotting,* *I pray that god does not judge me by my fruit.*
I saw this comment and it honestly broke my heart. Hopefully this can help in any way possible. 1. God is not going to judge His children based off our works (like how much we tithe). He is going to judge them solely based off of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. I mean, imagine you were able to pay tithe. It could easily be twisted in your mind that BECAUSE you pay, you’re saved or God loves you. No, He loves us because He loves us. And there is no other way to justify that. 2. Regarding the tithe, there is NOT an obligation to pay this. Yes, God does truly know your situation and if you can give, He knows. But if you can’t, HE KNOWS! Of course we should be helping out the church with bills and such but think about the parable of the woman who gave a little and God counted it for so much more than those who gave a lot. Why? Because He knew how much that little amount would have helped her and how much that large amount meant nothing to the rich. 3. Regarding your sin, I am the last person alive to be encouraging anyone else on this subject but there is a preacher that you should check out. Daniel Batarseh. Some “yes and amen” teachings/sermons that truly came straight from the Holy Spirit. Also, just read read read the scriptures. God’s wisdom and glory shines in His word and studying it truly does help us to have true fellowship with Him. Studying the word helps us see our own failures and shortcomings and how much we depend on God for salvation. May God bless you and give you the strength to seek Him.
Just keep praying God doesn't want protection but connection he wants u ur faults, ur love he wants a relationship with you just pour your heart to him he won't leave u ask for a clean heart,mind, spirit ,and body read it bible and listen to worship music, elevation music do it again,Kirk Franklin,heart theory,Tori Kelly,Tasha Cobb's,jekalyn Carr just to name a few worship it's good for ur soul take it day by day
I saw the title of the video and thought, “oh boy, here come some atheist/non-religious person telling me how to be.” Oh my was I pleasantly surprised! When you were talking about repentance it reminded me of one of the leaders of my church saying that repentance is a process. It’s not something we can just pray about and then be forgiving. Amazing video! Definitely adding this to my favorites, and you gained a new subscriber :)
it literally means you are not useful. cold water from the springs is useful for refrigeration, hot water is useful for boiling and theraputics. luke warm is not practical and not "hot tea" or "ice cold chiller" and so as worthless lukewarm coffee is spit out so too does God say "Come on!.... give me something to work with!" start a bible study, feed the hungry, volunteer. DO SOMETHING then i can at least bless your efforts and make use of you as a Christian soldier
Some Christians especially millennials like me sit in church, but never post anything on social media about God. They will post about anything else though, but never God. A lot of times, I am the same way. I guess because we care about the reaction from others. A lot of these people went to private schools too.
Zechariah Cameron Indeed. I’m still struggling with this, and I’m praying for the both of us. With God’s grace, we can grow and overcome this seasonal struggle, brother.
Zechariah Cameron yes I saw myself doing this. I was posting things on my story about God (bible journaling and bible verses) and someone at school had kind of teased me about it. After he said that to me I noticed myself not posting things about God anymore. I realized that I was worrying about what other people would think about me. But I soon realized that what they say does not matter. Because I have God on my side!
Keep pushing through!! I’m 15 and not perfect at all many times when I share my faith I get nervous and am usually more likely to do it through social media than in real life but stand strong! Even a verse is something God could use to encourage someone or lead someone to salvation!
Honestly I dont see the point of posting. Most of the people I know aren’t believer and while I dont care what they think of me I do not wanna put it online just so they can roll their eyes at it and hate Jesus even more because they think that we Christians are crazy. I
You know, I'm atheist but I enjoy watching videos counter to my beliefs to understand others and this video is exactly what I wish Christians would do. One of the reasons I left the church is because I saw how little most Christians actually cared. I've been there, I've felt what it's like to be one with God, and I can't understand how people that claim to feel that way can be so halfway in it. I have other reasons for leaving but this is one that always bugged me.
I am sorry that you have felt this way. I have struggled with thoughts like this or similar. But my response to people like you is you have to stop looking at people and start looking at Jesus. I understand that it is hard to want a deep relationship with God when you feel that might not be possible. But it is! People throughout history have abused the bible throughout history for their own evil, selfish purposes. From dictators to imperialists, a lot have done terrible. But god is a God of justice and just know those people had to answer to him. But don't let the downfall of others be your downfall. Just because the Christians or "Christians" at your church fell doesn't mean you have to fall with them. God is perfect, he is holy holy holy. So if you want to seek the truth, look for him for yourself. That's the only way you could be healed. As long as you arewilling, God will light the way. ,I know how it feels to look at the bible out of context or just not fully understand something and feel like God does not love you. I have had panic attacks over it! But I am still here, loving Jesus. And that can be you too! I know I won't know all the answers, but what gives me peace is knowing that God will never leave me and that he will help me work through it. It's a struggle, being a Christian is not easy, but I think it is definitely worth it. So if you want to talk about that thing you don't like to talk about, you can tell me. If not, I just hope you considered what I said, and I will be praying for you💛💛💛
@@kevienadixon1664 couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for replying so well to Him. 🌠🌠 It all boils down to "the grand truth of eternity" for me. No bad mistreating of the Bible by so called Christians will make me leave Jesus. No human in the church building is worth me leaving THE living water. I'll rather suffer and pray God sanctifies me more and more so to deal with people in the church.
