This was an entire Sunday Sermon on a Monday night!! “Clarity in Christ!” What a word! Thank you Tony Gaskins! You speak with such holy boldness and authority! Praise God!
Deion spoke about not having a father in his life after watching Kirk Franklin's documentary about just meeting his biological father at 54 years old. Deion stated that he had to clap and cheer for himself because he had no one to attend his football games in school. He said his biological father was a drunk, his stepfather was on drugs, and his mama worked 3 and 4 jobs to provide for him. Terrell Owens stated the same thing about his childhood. We have got heal our childhood issues and traumas because it's wreaking havoc in our adulthood.
I know someone who’s dad was absent also and his mom worked 2 jobs. Now he’s the same way as Deon… successful but always wasting women’s time for years.
I have been watching Tony for a while. I am nearly 60 years old. I have never seen him hurt this much in one of his videos. This has really touched his soul. And this is a man of God who really cares about the souls of people. Because he was once in a place of darkness and has light now and wants to share it. people Need to listen To what he is saying, no one speaks with this much passion and compassion unless they have been convicted and transformed renewed and has a right mind to speak. This is such a man. Pray for him, his family as he continues to minister. This is tough on him and the people who are Out there are not being real with Where they are and it's very frustrating for him. Trying to help people who don't fear God is alot. much prayers much blessings being encouraged my brother 🙏🙏
FrFr (for real, for real). TG & I both grew up on Deion Sanders and the man represented being the man, but the thing TG knows is that marriage and the family are cornerstone. There are men who couldn't get the attention of the 3 beautiful women that Deion publicly had in his family life. One thing for sure is that Deion represents fatherhood. However, we need a man of God in important pillars to us in America - Church 📖, Education, Sports and Entertainment, Wall Street 📊, Main Street 🏪, STEM 🔭📡🔬🧫🩺 - to represent healthy and whole husband-hood.
I married my wife a year and a half after we met…and most of that time was made up of planning the wedding. I knew I would marry her within 3 months of meeting her because I knew exactly what I was looking for. Even when she was single, she was already a WIFE, meaning she was wife minded…. She was and IS very humble, cooperative, unselfish, caring, friendly, considerate, good listener, loved God, and had a WE mindset instead of a ME mindset.
Maybe she didn’t want to get married again! I did the same thing after my first long term marriage (10+ years) with children. I went through an extremely nasty and costly (over $100,000) divorce including a long fought custody battle, child support, alimony, property settlement, and I vowed to NEVER EVER get married again! I told my new partner that I would NOT consider marriage until my youngest graduated from high school. I told him NOT to ask me again until then. At that time my youngest was only five years old. Therefore we had about thirteen years to go. Well just when my youngest (my only son) was about to graduate the up coming month, my partner had a massive heart attack and died instantly and unexpectedly! His last words to me were, “How come you never married me”? I didn’t know what to say. I was devastated! I’m still devastated after four years! I’ve been in a state of shock for a long while now. I just didn’t want to be married with children again because it was extremely hard work caring for everyone while neglecting myself. I wanted to concentrate on raising my children in a healthy manner without stress and drama. I know I’ll eventually move on from my partner’s unexpected death, along with the loss, pain, grief and guilt that I feel. I’m still NOT sure if I EVER want to get married again! It was very traumatic for me.
Why is Tracey still calling herself Edmonds when they have been divorced for so long and why are some comfortable with being a long time girlfriend, I don't get it?
I’m almost sure Deion was still traumatized from his marriage to Pilar. I remember on his reality show he told Tracey they would never be married. I think he proposed just to keep her happy with no intention to marry her. And this is probably the reason why they went separate ways. It’s sad because she thought she could love him into changing but she ended up losing 11 years
I remember seeing him snap Pilar up on their reality show and I didn't know why, but I learned that this marriage resulted from their affair. No wonder.....
Tony, I respect the fact that you acknowledged that you don't know much about Tracey's history. She grew up being raised by her single mother after her parents divorced. She started working at 13 years old to help her mother with finances. Tracey is gorgeous, smart & successful business woman; but flawed too. She has a history of getting involved with men in the middle of drama & relationship turmoil that need emotional healing. She was Kenny Babyface Edmonds' second wife; Eddie Murphy was in the middle of a paternity suit; and Deion was in the middle of a bitter divorce & custody battle. Her beloved mother who is now deceased made an appearance on Deion's Family Playbook, and told Tracey that she was concerned about Tracey seemingly making all the effort to fly to Texas to spend Time with Deion; and he not making much of an effort to fly to California to spend time with Tracey. 12 years later, Tracey is finally heeding her mother's advice & moving on. 💛
This video should get a MILLION views 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This is what the masses need! Thank you Brother Tony. I wish you could mentor my 9yr. old. Blessing to your wife and children. You are a great example for representing a TRUE family man of God.
Brother Gaskins I've been following you for 10 years sir...TEN!! You are one solid brother for real! You haven't waivered one millimeter when it comes to your marriage. But was has changed is your understanding on the Word. Your growth in this area is beautiful and refreshing brother. You LITERALLY preached on this video. Now let the church say.....AMEN🙌🏾 I had to get a membership that message was so good. Keep standing for King Jesus brother. Real Kingdom citizens are here for it! Shalom🙏🏾
If you watched Deion's family show when Tracy asked if she could design a dedicated space in the home he was building, he told her no, that they may break up and he would be stuck with something she decorated in his home. His response gave Tracy a clue back then. Then Tracey just bought a new home in Georgia last year. There were signs that they would not last as a couple. Then Deion started having problems with his foot and leg. The man has a lot going on. He is a father first, and Deion is having fun with his kids. In my opinion, Deion needs to get back with his original wife because that is who his wife is. Tracey knew she was not top priority in Deion's life. She chose to keep tagging along. Tracey makes her own money and simply needs to find a man that is truly for her.
WOW I didn't know that he told Tracey that about a room in his house! That was a sign for her to exit stage left! And I think he still feels remorseful and stupid for cheating on his first wife and marrying the mistress, so maybe he's trying to redeem himself
This was very powerful…I thought I was just clicking to get the tea on Dion and Tracey Edmonds. However, you gave the sugar-honey-ice- tea 🍹to us tonight. In all seriousness, this was very powerful. It is my prayer that people receive this message. I receive this message in Jesus name.
Being married or being in a relationship is NOT mandatory. People are FORCING relationships for show and imagery and most times children are caught in the middle. If you don't meet your match, why try to force unions with people only to be miserable. Be in love with YOURSELF and nurture YOURSELF!
Wow you moved some mountains tonite!! I’m not even a man and this message had me on 🔥. This should be a lesson in every church next Sunday lol! You preached REAL TALK sir! We love you and appreciate your platform!!! Thanks to your wife and family for allowing you to pour into us like this!!!! ❤️🙏🏾
Yes! Because pastors are shepherds. All pastors aren't called to a pulpit and brick and mortar. Brick and mortar pastoring started a little over 200 years ago. Shepherds care for people uniquely. He's a pastor... 👑👑👑
He is a pastor. I remember years ago he said in a video he isn’t a pastor but I immediately felt in my spirit that he is. Later on to me it seems he has accepted the call. He might not have a physical church building but he is a pastor of many people as he has a large ministry. Well probably see him go into more Bible teachings too
Why is everyone assuming Tracey wanted to get married again? After my mom & dad divorced , she started dating a man for almost a decade she made it clear to that man she didn’t want to marry again but encouraged me to marry if I want. Tracey made it clear she was on the West coast most of the time and Deion was elsewhere. I’m sure they had an understanding that has just ran its course. We know Deion is probably hard to deal with, there was an episode where Tracey wanted to change the decor in a room but Deion said no because if they break up, he would be stuck with that room when we know Deion could have afforded to change the room. Tracy will be okay and so will Deion but I wish people stop assuming it’s Tracy’s fault for not demanding marriage. People forget she was married to Eddie Murphy briefly but it was annulled. Tracy is her own woman. If anything Ashanti needs to make sure Nelly wife her up, if that means she wants a baby , have a baby or freeze your eggs, she’s 43 do not Nelly suck up the remainder of your youth! ❤️🙏
Tony you have blessed my soul. Yes- I've been widowed for over 6 years--though it is very difficult I refuse to sell my soul to the devil. I WAIT ON GOD!! This was a complete sermon ... my Seed on the way! Remain steadfast Tony, --God will not be mocked! Continue to make the difference!! GODS BEST ALWAYS!!!
I know how you feel my wife died 3 and half years ago still single.women been trying to get me.nope I'm not ready for a relationship yet.we was together 17 years.
And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. This is a whole sermon. All I can say is Amen!! Keep on keeping on Tony Gaskins. Your testimony of how God changed you and your life is powerful. Thank God for you and all that you do for the Kingdom.
Lord have mercy on me and all of us. Lord I repent! I don’t want to be a hypocrite and straddle the fence anymore. I am going back to church and getting myself together. Lord please have mercy on me!
Just when I was about to think there weren’t anymore men left, here comes spirit filled Tony GASKINS dropping GEMs 💎 straight from heaven. You’re born a Male, which are most males today. Men are raised up from GOD. Thank You Tony for being one in the haystack. May God continue to bless YOU and Yours🙏🏽🙌🏾🥀💐🤎
When I saw how he treated her in some of those videos I knew then. Tracy is so lovely and Deion would act like she wasn’t even there. He would smile to his children and have a straight face with Tracey.
Tony’s testimony around the 18:14 and beyond was powerful!!! I believe the Lord is in the process of redeeming me as I continue to read His Word and working on Psalm 119:11. Our Heavenly Father is faithful to complete what He started and His Word cannot return back to Him void! I pray for everyone reading this comment and may the Lord protect, keep and give you wisdom/understanding and His peace that surpasses ALL understanding. In Jesus name, Amen
Tony. The writing has been on the wall! When he purchased his last home and was showing her the plans she asked him where her closet was going to be in the room. He looked at her and said “what closet” and he was serious. It was cringy. She stayed too long.
Tony, you may have much more background than me, but I’ve been following Coach Prime for a while & I forget the exact show but it was either his family reality show with Oprah or his show with Amazon Prime, but he was asked about why he hadn’t gotten married to Tracey yet and he specifically said he’s not marrying any woman who’s not living with him. He says he didn’t believe in long distance marriages. He said he’d stay in a “long distance relationship,” but said he wouldn’t do a “long distance marriage.” It sounded to me like he very much wanted to marry her but she wasn’t willing to give up some of her comfort and ambitions for where she was, which is absolutely her right. We don’t know what happened behind the scenes where she wasn’t willing to make that sacrifice but it does not sound like a case that he just wouldn’t marry her.
@red_edj He and she both were single parents. Coach Prime had custody of his kids, nieces, and nephews and she had her kids, so for either of them to just pick up and relocate during that time was not going to happen. I think that they both probably at the beginning thought that eventually, one would be able to relocate but as years passed she got busier with her movies, and TV shows, and he now coaching college football has realized that it would be even a longer time to wait before that to happen and parted ways.
Thank you for your dedication to teaching us. I look forward to your messages daily. I am implementing these teachings in my life. May GOD continue to bless and keep you and your family 😊
His parting "statement" to, Tracy was like he was talking to the help. His statement was totally void of emotion he could have just kept that to himself. None of these so-called relationships impress me...none of them and it does not matter what a woman looks like, these men do not care about no doggone looks. *smh
This video was fire Tony! I felt the power of God through this video! Please don't retire, Tony! The old cats have messed up, but the younger generations need you so they won't make the same mistakes! Tony this video is a testament of how walking with God and doing it God's way bring blessings beyond measure! You are a witness to the goodness of God for real, real!
I was not surprised when I watched an old episode of his show. His mom was not thrilled with her. I am sure the ex-wife being around all of the time added to the situation. I never felt that she wanted to relocate from LA to move to Boulder, CO. This breakup was predicted for a long time. People need to wake up. If you are not living in the same city with your man, it's hard to make a long distance relationship work. Lord help us all.
Tony, you literally said everything I was thinking!! I cannot take someone seriously constantly talking about “God this and God that…” yet living in WILLFUL sin. No one is perfect but like you said, if God can tell you to go to Colorado, He has also probably spoken to you about other things too. But we pick and choose when we want to be obedient to God. Also, the book of proverbs talks about pride. And Deion is very proud. “Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.” Proverbs 29:23 NLT
To God be the Glory for being courageous and faithful to your mission and calling. Tony please consider starting a mentorship for young men. I heard a caucasian man ask all the men who were single 35 and older to stand up in a personal development conference. He later responded by saying we could never do business together. Why? Because you haven’t mastered being responsible for someone else and there is no reason for you to still be single with women outnumbering men. At that point, you could hear a pen drop. Not being negative here because I strive to be the best version of myself for Christ first, me second and my future last. 🙏💜
Hello Tony please keep doing what your doing it's lots of women like myself who watch & listen to you ! You have helped me tremendously and I appreciate everything that you do! Unfortunately I cannot afford coaching from you at this time so these videos help me out and direct me 😊 Thank you & please don't retire God Bless 🙏🏾 Katie
Thank you Tony. I like the fact you mentioned walking away from long term relationships. No woman stays that long without a promise. Some men lie to these women because you’re trying to reap the benefits. A lot of people don’t understand when you consummate it signifies marriage. Stop wasting people time and betraying them, then you wander why your prayers not answered
I am enough. I thank you Abba Father for your Grace, love and mercy. A man should be a leader in his home, church and community. Stay encouraged ladies. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you the message. It resonated with me and allowed me to reflect on how important awareness is in these times. The enemy is focused on identifying cracks in our relationship with God and cleverly finds a way to take advantage of you.
Deion never put her first. They never lived in the same home either. He has always put his kids first as well as his career. He never put her first. They may love each other but not living in the same house and not putting a woman first along with his kids and career is a no go…..
Thank you for respectfullly speaking the truth about the positive and negative stances men and women take in relationship. When the truth hits it hits hard and all I can say is that I appreciate you for having the Godly confidence to speak these truths…this is the only way we can get delivered from our sinful nature. Thank you!
This is sad to hear because they have been together for some years, now. On the reality show, Deion and her mother were bumping heads. Tracey's mother didn't like the way he treated her daughter.
I feel like at this point, women ought to know that a man, no matter how old he is, Will waste your time if you have no standards, boundaries and expectations! When you are a woman of a particular age in your forties or your 50s and you are in a relationship with a man, you must be dating with intent! You must be okay with being alone and not settling for just any man that likes you! You ought to know a man's intentions immediately and decide whether or not it's for you. Being alone not lonely, in a season, is not a bad thing! I really do think that women at this point are just in love with the thought of a relationship or being seen with a man! It validates them for people to see that they have someone whether that relationship is of quality or not! I am 51 and would love to be in a relationship but unless Jesus himself comes down and knocks on my door and shows me the man that is for me, I am okay with being single and trying to live my best life that way. It is what it is at this point for me! We are living in the time of the end where people are becoming more and more vile and sinful and I just don't feel like I have the energy that it would take to entertain another individual in my life.
You are the truth and real people need you…please don’t stop what you’re doing…You’ve helped me so much…my dad would see me everyday and we never had a relationship I desired but you’ve helped me understand being a woman and learning men…The world needs you please continue to shine your light!!!
Tony, as a 54 year old woman who has been married for 32 years. Jesus makes you look real good and keeps you right and tight. I'm going to have to disagree with you on something. As a woman, you have every right to walk away from a relationship that is going absolutely nowhere. Yes you may love people but you have to come to the realization this is not leading to marriage, I love you but I have to go and I'll get over it, but what you're not going to do is waste my time. Tracey Edmonds had every opportunity within 12 years to walk away. She chose not to, so evidently, she was getting some sort of benefit out of this as well. You don't ever let someone control and dictate your life, especially when you get to a particular age where you don't have time to waste and play games with people. A man needs to know you are a woman who has no qualms about walking away from him. As long as a man feels, oh she's not going anywhere, he's not going to be on his A-game and he's not going to want to wife you up why, because he feels you're going to be there why, because you have shown him you are willing to be there with no commitment from him. My mother always told me, never to be afraid to walk away from any man and never ever let a man tell you twice that he does not want you in words or actions. And my parents were married 45 years before my mom passed.
You didn’t listen to the video. I said that!! I said she shouldn’t have stayed past 3 years. Listen before commenting, regurgitating what I said in and video and thinking you’re correcting me. Thank you. Bless you. Listen again.
@Gej8062 Thank you exactly. We are assuming that he made that decision. Thank you for your point because I didn't think about that, and a lot of bloggers are not pointing that out as well, obviously. She might have come to the realization that enough is enough. We just assume he did the breaking up, but you're so right it could have been her decision.
Tony, everything you are saying makes sense. However, this might not all be on Deion. Tracey Edmonds is the ex wife to Babyface. She was his first wife than he went on to marry a woman that looked like Tracey. I digress. However, just because Tracey is beautiful and successful doesn't mean that there might not be self esteem issues. Years back way back before Deion, Tracey was with Eddie Murphy. The only reason it was revealed because it was reported, Tracey and Eddie got married outside the US somewhere and the marriage was not recognized legally in the US. Instead of them making the marriage legal, they broke up. It was weird because no one even knew they were together. I don't consider Eddie Murphy a better catch than Deion and both have colorful ex wives tales
Teach !!!!!!!!!! I Receive😢 Please Restore Me Lord. Open up doors for my life no man can close To be where me and kids need to be😢😢 Lord Jesus Christ You know what im going threw...I know you can heal and fill me up and help me and my kids.. .

Such a powerful message. Marriage is a gift from God. Outside of salvation, marriage must be held in high esteem. God will not be mocked. Lord help us to follow You with our whole heart.
Let’s Gooo! This is motivation. Lord give us the strength to serve the way you called us to. I know I’m not perfect but I am trying my best to stay in God’s will for my life. We need more leaders like this. God cover this man & his family & give them the strength to stand on Your truth & help everyone else watch this❤❤❤❤❤
This is a Divine message!!! A lot of ppl will use Christianity for their OWN purpose. Too many “commercial pastors” 😂today not sincere about God. Thank you Tony. I hope you continue to speak and create a space for men with your dedication to “Manhood”. There should be a safe space for healing and vulnerability. Clarity from Christ 🙏 🙏
I didn't know you were about to break it down like that Tony! Wow, you were preachin the truth this evening. There's so many people that could benefit from hearing this. I hope Russell W has reached out to you or is going to. He needs to hear ALL OF THIS, like right now! Blessings, love and light to you and your family Tony. May God continue to cover you all.
@@mightyfineanderson "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul." We've got to be more careful with the decisions that we make for our lives. As we all should know by now, things aren't always what they seem....
Truth!!😢😢 Tony, you spoke a word on this. I always wondered why Tracy settled for this long-term relationship and never got married. She lost so much time she will never get back.
