No one can come to the Father but by Jesus and no one can come to Jesus unless the Father enables him. Ask the Father if his teachings were spoken through Jesus, then turn to Jesus. So let your light shine.
Just hours ago I was talking to the Lord about my uncertainty of eternal life and hoping that I am saved. He answered my prayer with a sermon by pastor Doug confirming what I had hoped. “ confidence with caution “ . I may stumble from time to time but I keep moving forward with Christ.. Thank you pastor Doug! I’m learning so much from your sermons You are such a blessing in my walk with Jesus and for so many others 💕
It is hard work being a Christian. I am tired, weary, and I know God wants me to grow, which means letting go of more of self, and it doesn't always go easily. When all around us people do whatever they like & have every comfort, while God calls me to let go of more. I know God's way is the route I want of course, but I am struggling a bit. The sermon, as usual inspires & motivates me & for that, , is better then anything. Thank you Pastor Doug, may God continue to bless you & yours.
@@rjoettesquire9358 that is one of the reason so many people are divorce, they get tired of their spouses and they struggled, some just give up. We are the bride of God, loving him makes life easier, because love is everything isn’t?
@cindylittle yes I have wondered the same thing on and off for a little while, the Lord looked into my heart and gave me Pastor Dougs' sermon...yes brothers and sisters in Christ He knows our desires and gives it according to His will. My heart swelled with love and faith when I was compelled to click open the notification and read the title. Glory be to God.🙏
@@rjoettesquire9358 I don't believe that God wants us to give up everything we have, look at Abraham, Daniel, and many more in the bible. God does want us to be willing to give up everything for Him, there is a difference I believe.
Thank you for this service. Faith. I recently lost my job over not wanting the vaccine. I was a social worker for over 13 years. I’m currently battling lupus and on a ton of medications. I just want to know the long term side effects are from this vaccine. With lupus I’m already fatigued. Another symptom is unexplained fevers, painful joints! It literally hurts to move. Chest pain upon deep breathing I’m a hot mess. Even though I struggle with This disease I have still managed to work for over 13 years at the same job 40 hours a week. I’m a single mother with two children! My youngest is autistic. Now! I’m losing my medical insurance. I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills, I’ve spent all my savings durning the shut down. I want to give up. But I have faith! Please pray for my family. Thank you for giving me a stronger faith!
Angela, you are very brave and I am sure the Lord will bless you abundantly with your precious kids. May your faith keep growing strongly day by day and the healing hands of our great God touch you today.
My Testimony I smoked cigarettes in 1996. I read the Ten Commandments when in 1996. I smoked marijuana in 1998. I drank alcohol in 1999. I was baptized in 2009. I started watching Amazing Facts in 2009. I started writing in 2010. I have not smoked cigarettes, marijuana or drank alcohol since 2009. I have been sharing the sermons of Doug Batchelor since 2018. I have been giving tithes and offerings to Amazing Facts since 2018.
You are a work in progress! The Holy Spirit is in you, brother in Christ. You inspire me. Thank you for sharing. My next step is to tithe with Amazing Facts because this ministry feeds my soul abundantly!! God bless 🙏
@@Tawanda99 Don’t stop with only tithe, that’s 10%, you can give offerings also which is anything above that, a cheerful giver, a loving heart gives more than a tithe. God bless my sister in Christ.
@@Tawanda99 Thank you Cindy, I appreciate your kindness, your heart is truly rooted in Christ. May he bless you and your family with the Holy Spirit and with a strong faith.
I have come to a point in my life where I realize that all of the other things that used to matter really don’t matter much. I’m learning to put God first and forming a lasting relationship with Jesus is my primary focus. Amen 🙏🏽
@@nickdon Nick none of the SDA churches' doctrines are based on Ellen White but are based on the bible. And I would challenge you to prove any of our doctrines are not based on the bible. You are just a typical sun day preacher, they love to spew false information about the SDA church. Listen to Pastor Doug's message and you will be blessed.
@@nickdon It is following after the Mark of The Beast, by changing the true sabbath worship day for worshiping on Sunday. If you really knew and understood what the bible teaches you would not have had to ask that question, because you would know.
@@nickdon Wrong! Jesus and all of His disciples went to worship on the seventh day sabbath, which we call Saturday today. You just don't know nor understand what the bible teaches. Go back and this time STUDY the bible for yourself and quit taking the sun day preachers word for what the bible teaches because they don't know either. Find a SDA Church and join it and learn what the bible teaches instead all of this false and pagan doctrines taught by the sun day preachers.
God bless pastor Doug, and our hometown pastor Joel Kratzke who recently became ordained. I personally met Pastor Doug in person about 20 years ago at a evangelical meeting. Great man. I read his book, THE RITCHEST CAVEMAN. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR KNOWLEDGE TO HELP ALL THAT HAVE QUESTIONS IN MY LIFE AS THEY LISTEN TO THE STORIES OF MY LIFE. PEOPLE ARE BEING DRAWN TO ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD , AND THEY DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH. THE ONES IM NOT SURE OF, I TELL THEM I PRAY AND ASK GOD TO GIVE ME THE RIGHT ANSWER.I FEEL VERY BLESSED TO HAVE MET HIM AND ALL THE OTHERS, LIKE 3ABN on Tv, and the Others I can’t remember because of many surgeries and a stroke last year. I have a short testimony of my stay at icu when had stroke. Towards the 5th or 6th day my body was so drained of all my energy. As I lay there I called on him to help me live. I sensed every breath the Lord was giving me. I never felt such a closeness to God as that the Devil had me so beat down, it could only be God by my bedside.AMEN.
Thank you Jesus for your servant Pastor Batchelor! When I listen to your message through Pastor Doug I stronger, smarter and confident. God bless all of you (church)🙏⚘
Don't know how can i ever thank this servant of God for his sermon to my fullest of heart felt desire.... God bless you sir... fills you with everything you need for your hearts desire... thank you❤
Thanks Pastor Doug for this message.. I have gone back to the world and have felt very guilty for the mistakes i have made the message you preached really encouraged me and I just went to see the church elders Last Sabbath.. Thank God that I have a loving father who started the work in me will finish... Thanks Pastor Doug....🇵🇬
Hello Joy, thank you for sharing your story. It is wonderful to hear the Lord has been working in your life. We will keep you in prayer! May God bless and guide you. - The Amazing Facts team
@@PastorBatchelor thanks pastor Doug for responding to my comments and requests.. I am the 3rd generation from a sunday worshiping family and i know very well that no sunday preachers preach and explain the bible prophecy in Daniel & revelation even to this day... I understood those prophecies the time you preached on my new tv as i was looking for the Chanel's i liked and it happened to be this same preacher appearing on the tv screen so i had to pause and watched the preacher..the more i watched the preaching got interesting because i was learning a new thing which i have never known . Finally me and my husband decided to join Adventist.. Pastor Doug , God is really using you in the Amazing facts and i believe many will have same testimony as mine...🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
I think maybe we will all look back on our lives here on earth and realize how awesome the lesson was we learned that sin causes pain and torment and separation from God which we will know to never do again 🙏✝️ thank you LORD Jesus 🙏
Thank you so much. I needed this message. Even with the knowledge of truth many times I fall and struggle with the guilt and shame in facing the Lord again. But what a reminder that He will not abandon or forsake us. He will finish what He started. Thank you. God bless you.
Saw a question which said, "what is more frightening than Covid-19?" When Jesus tells u, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - Matt 7:23
Thank the lord for Mr Bachelor if I had never started watching him preach I don't think I would have ever learned the truth of the Bible and have been able to find myself walking with God I was more lost then I would like to addmit but learning from Mr Bachelor the Bible truth I honestly don't think I'd even be alive right now Godbless Amazing facts and Mr Bachelor for helping me find and walk with God godless to all.
Amen! I praise God for his assurance that if we keep our life’s attached to him depending on like Jesus from his father we can be victorious day by day moment by moment. God help us to not disconnect from you
I found you on fb. Praise God I found this knowledge. It is just what I needed. I’m learning & this has been my desire for so long. Thank you. I enjoy your style very much.
I can't believe some people really put there thumps down 👎 it such a beautiful sermon. Well, still Jesus loves us no matter who we are but we must choose to Love Him too . God bless everyone 🙏
May God Bless you and family, May God grant the wisfom to all Amazing facts team and Pas Doug, Pas.

There are 363 likes but only 16 comments, how sad. All of those people who liked the video, who watched should comment, should get involved in the church. Share your own testimony of how God changed your life. Each person has a story of transformation and they should be willing to share it.
@@davidinchcliff4560 What’s wrong with the trinity, the Godhead is the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. The trinity and the Godhead are exactly the same thing, only the word trinity is not in the Bible. Why is Doug a viper, he teaches the Bible, the same truth that Jesus and the apostles taught is the truth that Doug teaches. He believes in Jesus and the Bible as the only truth. Why do you dislike him so much. You should listen to his testimony before saying bad things about him. He’s not a false teacher and he’s not a cult leader.
@@davidinchcliff4560 The devil is a liar and the truth is not in him! God will hold you accountable for your judgment words my friend. Satan is using u to do his dirty work.
I struggle too much in my sin of lust of the flesh. I feel as though I'm already lost. I do believe in one God the almighty 🙏. I have depression that keeps me bummed out and down most of the time. I need a guide or someone that can be a mentor to me.
I absolutely love listening to Pastor Doug. There are so many RU-vid “Pastors” but Pastor Doug consistently preaches the truth. I understand it’s a family church so there will be children. Maybe parents should sit closer to the back as I’m sure it must be distracting for the other church members.
Thank you Pastor Doug, may God bless you all at Amazing Facts and Granite Bay. I'm praying that whoever it was that stolen the Defibrillator will be convicted, return it and repent.
Obedience thats How, Believing is Obedience, he that (believeth) on him should not perish but have Everlasting Life. The Just shall live by faith. Believing is Living and living is Obedience.
@Angela Tiffany Rogers did you notice that urahotmess asked if you have Zelle or PayPal? Sounds like an offer of assistance is possible 🤔praying 🙏for you and yours. Blessings to urahotmess for being willing to be a blessing to you.
Jesus said strive to enter because the way is narrow and abide in me and I will abide in you. We must strive to abide in Jesus. Jesus said obey my Commandments if you love me. God bless you!
I’ve been watching Doug bachelor for years. I’ve been baptized at Sacramento Central 25 years ago. The strange thing on these videos that I never realized is over half of them have a screaming baby in the background. “Just saying”
If the Holy Ghost was not received as Jesus did, which includes witnesses seeing the apparition descend and hearing the Father speak (Luke 3:22), then that person has not repented of all of their sins, therefore has no guarantee of eternal life. It is interesting when those that have not received the Holy Ghost preach about receiving eternal life when they haven’t gotten the assurance from God. What is needed are teachers that have first walked the path rather than those that speculate on the path.
As an adventist you probably belive in Ellen G White.. She writes about People in heaven, Who is asking Jesus about the scares in his hands. Thus they don't know about the gospel. How much have they belived? Yet they are saved!
Paul wrote the words, "in Christ" 77 times. From these two simple words we learn two things: There is ‘the imputed righteousness of Christ’ (how He has legally ascribed to us His righteous history as our own, proven by removing the inherited death sentence passed down from "the first man Adam;" and we by baptism publicly declare our faith in this legal binding fact). And then there is ‘the imparted righteousness of Christ’ (the call to “good works” written 16 times we enter His rest, of which "the seventh day" Sabbath is "the seal of the living God." And we, by faith, daily invite Jesus to live out the wonders of His faith in us). Just know: it is "the faith of Jesus" not faith in Jesus. Hence the reason Paul said, “I die daily.” “It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.” And this "hope maketh not ashamed."
Hi pastor Dough I live in nz do you have Thai language because my mum live in Thailand she a new believe .how do I tell my family about God? May God bless you and your family. Thank you

I don’t understand. I just watched a Doug Batchelor video two hours ago and there were ads every six minutes in a one hour video. I start this video. I’m already 30 minutes into it and there isn’t a single ad. What is up with that? I was considering unsubscribing because these ads have been happening a lot lately. And then this one comes with no ads at all. I guess I’ll stay subbed. Thank you. I really mean that dog is one of the best pastors out there.
Jn 3:16 Do you believe in the Son whom God sent? Eternal means forever, it begins when you believe, not when you die, in the meantime while you may still be living in a body, you’re now living eternally in that body until you die and beyond.
@Melic Mayflower how then do you explain what happened to these believers? Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Acts 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. Where they not saved until hands were laid upon them?
Excuse me pastor but the question should not be how can we know if we have eternal life but how can we know that we will spend eternity in God´s presence. Remember that all humans have eternal life: in heaven or in hell.
*LIFE ETERNAL... BUT PERMANENT?* Many argue that because the life God gives us is eternal and not temporary, it cannot be lost. But by thinking this way, they seem to be missing a very important point. Because though it is true that the life God gives us through Jesus is eternal, this life must also abide in us in order to be permanent: "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him" (1 John 3:15). How is this explained? Understanding that God has placed this eternal life in Jesus, and not in us: “God has given us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5: 11-12), the only way it can become permanent and abide in us till the end is if we abide in the son of God, who said: "I am the vine, ye are the branches... Abide in me" (John 15). In short, eternal life is actually IN THE VINE and not necessarily in the branches, unless they remain connected to the vine. Therefore, in order for the branch to RETAIN that eternal life PERMANENTLY, it must ABIDE in the vine; otherwise it will lose it: “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned” (John 15: 1-6). And though it is true that Jesus said eternal life is obtained by believing in him: “He who believes in the Son has eternal life” (John 3:36), he also spoke of those who “for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away" (Luke 8:13). They simply don’t believe in a permanent way. In other words, when Jesus said that it was necessary to believe in him in order to have eternal life, he was referring precisely to that: BELIEVING, and not only to ‘have once believed’. So the only way to be saved is by ‘enduring to the end’ in the faith, and persevering in doing the Father's will, that is, keeping the commandments of love: “the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved”; "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 10:22; 24: 12-13; 7:21). Because he who does not abide in love but allows it to cool down, turning away from God and mistreating others, will become a 'murderer' in the eyes of God: "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him", and unfortunately will lose that eternal life that God placed in his son, unless he repents and corrects himself, and returns to the narrow way: “Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins” (James 5: 18-19). So while it is true that the kind of life God gives is not temporary but eternal, our participation in that life must also be permanent and not temporary; and if we want to keep it abiding in us, we also must abide in Jesus to the very end: "he that endureth to the end shall be saved" (Matthew 10:22).

@@user-jy5ux1nn9i thankfully I never met consman. Scammer exist everywhere so it cant be helped we keep on doubting here and there. But I still believe holy spirit can guide thru the right way with the bible.
iT IS EASY TO SHOW THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED IS A FALSE TEACHING. IF IT WERE TRUE THEN GOD HAS A PROBLEM. HE WOULD HAVE TO LET SATAN AND THE FALLEN ANGELS BACK INTO HEAVEN. THEY WERE SAVED AT ONE TIME BUT THEN REBELLED. CNA SIN GO BACK TO HEAVEN?
