Hey, check out this song I have recently found, if you like it you may add it to the worship playlist. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BQREY9KxWUA.html On their channel there is also "No Love Like Yours" (if you're interested).
I loved everything about this, especially when Mel talked about King David in "the comfort of his home" and falling into sin because he didn't stand on the spiritual battlefield. Mind blown 🤯
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU TWO. I AM A CHRISTIAN FOR 21 YEARS AND STARTING MY LIFE OVER AGAIN ABOUT TO BE DIVORCED BUT STRUGGLING. YOU ARE SHARING HIS WORD FROM HIS WORD. I VALUE THAT.
I was 5 years of chronic illness. Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation. But God did an amazing work. And if he can do this, he can do it in you also. 😇🙏 I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️ *Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🙌🔥👆🏼😊 *All things are possible with God*
This is the channel that blocks comments when he is under pressure because he thinks he knows everything about God and when challenged he calls you a heretic, then he says I have to block you "brother" from infecting my flock. He is just like the rest of the cancel culture, the censorship wave...who can't handle a healthy adult conversation without getting his personnel feelings hurt. So iron does sharpen iron but in his case he prefers to remain dull.
The problem with people thinking that society is broken is that people think that society can be fixed. 🌎 The *truth* is that society is dead, and needs to be *redeemed* . Good politics is good. But... What we ultimately need is a new heart. 💔❤️ Jesus - Is the Way, the Truth, the Life 😊🙏 ✝️ That said, do what we can to fight the evil while we are here...
" For Sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace." Romans 6:14✝️ It is important Jesus Christ mandates it He has given us the power To live it To do otherwise is to live in disobedience Not condemnation but conviction Comes to the believer Who walks in disobedience Great video thanks Love the new space God' continued blessings on the Ministry
I hope you can make more videos about the spiritual battle, the Kingdom of Light vs. the kingdom of darkness. What is spiritual warfare and how to fight ❤️
So true! Covid causes many of us to be away from our jobs and schools and isolate in our own homes. Without accountability, it can lead to so much temptations. May we be addicted to Jesus and Him alone
Please Pray for me and my depression. I am struggling with dark thoughts. Really struggling. Please Pray for me. Can you do a podcast episode on depression and suicidal thoughts, from a Biblical perspective or something? Thank you and God bless, God loves me and you. ❤️
I’m understand you, I’m struggling with bad thoughts too. For example when I sing prayer to God, immediately I have thoughts that I have terrible shameful voice, that somebody hears me and laughs at me that I have to stop. It’s every day... it is just one thoughts, I have others with I’m fighting. Sometimes I fall in sin, because it’s hard to fight, hard to go only light way. It’s easy to not sing again, but my go prayers for you 🙏. Be careful.
Amen. If we focus on Jesus , who he is and what he has done already... and not what we can’t do : we will see we are already forgiven and can come back to him and rest in his faithful love. we aren’t trying to stop sinning to earn anything. It is because we are so grateful for the love & forgiveness first given to us that we respond in reverence (fear) of the Lord.
I've LOVED the videos from this channel! I found this channel about two weeks ago and have seriously been binge watching every video since! Thank you Ronnie and Mel for the inspiring content:)
Thank you for sharing all this wisdom, I really struggle with turning away from sins, in terms of guilt, even after I confess my sins I still feel a sense of guilt which causes me to run from God again 🥺. God is truly patient 🙏
Thanks so much for these great resources! I second the part about Gods sorrow for sin. The father and Jesus are very feeling persons, way more than we can imagine. And sin goes against their very nature. When I really understood how much God loves and longs for me and how much sin hurts him it really became my go to motivation to stay away from sin. A close and intimate relationship with God is the number one antidote to sin. He loves us eternally more than anyone else can ever do.
You guys are awesome. This is exactly what I needed today. I'm about to cry listening at my desk. It is a battle! My sin struggle is difficult right now. God spoke to me through this. Thank you.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25 KJV
I recently subscribed after watching so many videos, I thank Jesus for placing yall in my life. I was brought to tears in this video while Mel spoke of Jesus putting specific longings in our hearts but we are meant to fill them by His Will. Wow! ❤️ I really value the emphasis on our relationship with Him but always with biblical backing. Y’all are a blessing!
The way to overcome sin is to be sealed with the Holy Spirit. You will turn from sin and the world once that happens. If not you will always have trouble with turning from the lusts of the flesh and the ways of the world. The Spirit of God once circumstances your heart and mind you will no longer sin and will hate sin and the things of the World and only want to please God and live completely righteous for the Lord. Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word (truth) of God. By revelation God reveals Faith by his Grace. At that point you will become a whole new person. The old things have passed away, all things become new in the Lord. Hallelujah!! A sinner saved by Gods Grace is a precious gift!
I cannot looooove this enough. I am newly saved and have been struggling alot . I won't go into detail however if u could please pray for me. It would be appreciated. Thank u
Good stuff. So true how sin slowly creeps in there and before you know it you're chained, the enemy knows what he is doing. We have to stay prayed up and remain in His word. Colossians 3:2
That's why the church community is so important as a follower of Christ, that there is someone who will rebuke you and will remind you to align your path towards the Lord, but Jesus must be our first resort.
Thank you so much Ronnie and Mel, for your kind heart and gift of the service in the body of Christ!! It’s encouraging to keep drawing near to God... I pray that our Father God will continue to use you both and your ministry, you will abound more and more in love and knowledge of Christ, with wisdom and discernment through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1: 9-11...xo
Thank you for clarifying the situation where and how to address the issue and how to stick to the right path instead of taking shortcuts when it comes to the right path to the lord God bless everyone else who watch you guys
Hi Ronnie Hi Melissa! Been a while since I commented or emailed. Glad to see you have a great quality video/podcast. It is great to see God's work through and in you both. I always say that you cover subjects that others don't and you break it down in order that everyone can understand. You continue to be in my prayers. Kory
Oh Lord thank you for speaking through ronnie and mel in such a clear language that goes right to my heart. I was crying when I heard mel saying its not a sin to long for something. I was feeling ashamed always when I only was longing for sin. This new wisdome of knowing its okay to have this longing becaus its ftim god is liberating me so much and giving me hope to fulfill the longing in reaching out in my relationship with god. Thank you and be blessed.
Great job! It is a blessing to see the transforming power of Christ in both of you and your boldness to share on sin and it’s power to separate us from Christ. But like you said we have access to the power to overcome sin through the blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit! I pray for the both of you !
I LOVE what you said at the end about how trauma and deep rooted pain may be driving some sins and how it s important to deal with that first so that u can ultimately be free! I m in counseling now and we 've covered that topic! There is so much truth there! God Bless! I really adore you guys😄
I know this will be good. No one talks about sin anymore. The set up looks great. God bless you and your family mightily brother and God bless everyone else out here. Will watch the video now. MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO PROTECT YOU ALL.🙏🙏🙏 I also did a video 2 nights ago to encourage someone in Christ. Be blessed.) My suggestion for your podcast name. (ETERNAL HOPE MINISTRY.) One life: ONE LOVE, with Ronnie and Mel.) Just came to my mind. People will know that the one eternal love is always Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You can feel the anointing from God, when you both speak.) P.S. The incredible thing is I do one video, with the leading of the Holy Spirit, And this guy takes words out of context and shamed me in my comments, then makes two videos about me in the last day shaming me and taking what I said out of context. And threatens me to stop making videos. If these people new what God took me out of and who I used to be affiliated, with. I’m speechless. Oh well this is life and I will continue to pray for those that despitefully use me. Just thought I would share. All I did was talk about Jesus. Have a blessed day.
Naomi Regassa Thank you so much for your very kind words. Also thank you for your heart felt prayers.) I told him I still love him and blessed him in Jesus Christ name. My brother in Christ told me today, his name is Aaron Pilkey: KEEP MAKING VIDEOS UNTIL THEY CRUCIFY YOU ON THE CROSS. One of the most powerful statements, I have ever heard in my life.) God bless you and your family mightily today. Thank you again.🙏👋
Very helpful video. Thank you so much Ronnie and Mel. You are really helping me in my walk with the Lord, as I stumble a lot on the way. Always find your videos to be insightful, clear, practical, and inspiring to keep on my walk with the Lord. Thank you so much. God bless you 💜💙💜
So thankful for your bold hearts that have moved you forward in Christ Jesus to start this encouraging Ministry. His plan is unfolding in front of us through your hearts for his people! I like how you broke down this video into four different points , so good!!! I think you should name the podcast" listen to truth"...
I really liked the way u break down complex stuff into simple steps. The thing that i was suddenly made aware after watching this video is that we are in constant warfare as believers. And it reminded me of the verses from Ephesians 6:10-18. Waiting for your podcast 😍
Its a choice (an every day choice). God wants you to become one with him but he won't keep you captive for himself. He gave us freedom and liberty, so when we choose him, its because we want to (cuz we love him) and not because we are obliged to :) So yes, you can be separated from him if you lose your focus from Jesus but you won't if he really is sitting on the throne of your heart! ❤
A word of encouragement.) OSAS What’s the cut off point for showing this “evidence” of salvation? You gotta show evidence within 5 minutes? 5 hours? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? 2 years? What’s the cut off point? The evidence of your salvation is CHRIST! HE IS OUR EVIDENCE. Absolutely nothing to do with you at all. If you’re looking to yourself for evidence then you are NOT saved. Look to CHRIST for your evidence. If you believe in Him you are saved. Period. If you’re trusting yourself even 1% then you’re not saved. You’re saved by FULLY trusting Christ not partially trusting Him. I think for me one of the main verse that seals the deal is Colossians 2:11 in that that once you’re circumcised how do you then become Un-circumcised? When we’re born again it’s a spiritual operation of God and not a human operation of ourselves with human hands. So how can a human now un-do a SPIRITUAL operation??? COLOSSIANS 2:11 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision MADE WITHOUT HANDS, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST: 2 TIMOTHY 2:11 11 IT IS A FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we be dead with him, we SHALL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF. *This is a FAITHFUL saying.* Do we believe it’s a faithful saying or do we doubt and believe this is a lie? It’s not about YOU keeping yourself. It’s about HIM keeping HIMSELF in you! If it was about YOU keeping yourself then ya of course you could lose your salvation. But it’s about CHRIST keeping you because your life is now hid with Christ: COLOSSIANS 3:3 3 For ye are dead, and your life is HID with Christ in God. So even if you deny Him that doesn’t matter because HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF inside of you! If the Holy Spirit were to leave you He would be denying His very self which He cannot do! *************************************** ROMANS 8:38,39 38 FOR I AM PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US from the love of God, WHICH IS IN CHRIST Jesus our Lord. *Paul was persuaded of not losing his salvation why aren’t we?* Nothing can separate you NOT EVEN YOURSELF! If you’re not persuaded it’s because you’re trusting yourself and trusting the evidence of your fruit instead of just trusting HIM. Only when we truly trust Him will our fruit be real fruit. That's a works salvation if we have to trust in our works or fruit to persevere till the end. That's no longer GRACE then, it now becomes a DEBT. We’re trying to pay a debt he already paid and that we’d never be able to pay anyways! *our faith will only be reckoned as righteousness IF we don't work.* But to those who worketh NOT, rather simply BELIEVE is it counted as righteousness. We need to trust HIS GRACE and not ourselves. ROMANS 4:4,5 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, HIS FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Again it’s no longer grace if we have to work or persevere on our own human effort. It’s now reckoned as a debt and we’re no longer trusting Him anymore for salvation but we’re trusting the evidence of our fruit instead. In that case we’re not truly saved! God’s grace perseveres for us all we have to do is BELIEVE it does. If it’s truly by grace then it’s NO MORE OF WORKS. Otherwise is not even called grace: ROMANS 11:6 6 And if BY GRACE, then is it NO MORE OF WORKS: OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. *********************************** JOHN 10:28,29 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND. 29 My Father, which gave them me, IS GREATER THAN ALL; and NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND. ****according to this verse WHO is able to pluck you from His hand? Are you able to pluck yourself or is no one INCLUDING YOURSELF able to? Not even yourself is able to. No one means NO ONE!) ETERNAL LIFE LIVES IN YOU NOW THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN. You can not DISASSEMBLE A SPIRITUAL OPERATION OF YOUR HEART. Just like a child, when it is born with his biological parents. That child can run away from home and blasphemy his parents name for 20 years, but the DNA OF THAT CHILD WILL ALWAYS BE THE CHILD OF THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS. There are tons of scripture that prove that the Jesus Christ of the bible only saves you with eternal life that will be in you the moment you are born again. Then you rest in that and walk in the preordained works. Ephesians 2:10 KJV. They your yoke will be easy and your burdens light. Amidst this crazy world we live in. A true sabbath day rest. Our own initiated filthy rags works are nothing. When we ask His will to be done through us. The peace and joy and transformation will truly begin. Have a blessed day. Just felt lead to encourage you.🙏
Hey Ronnie & Mel, I have been encouraged to get closer to God by your vedios like from the beginning.. Praise the Lord!! & May He continue to bless both of you more & more.. One small thing loved the music which your'll used to use in the past vedios.. bcz it was like the signature of the vedios..pls consider of continuing same😊 Any how keep up the good work👍
I loved the points you guys covered, reflection, correction, focusing on Jesus really woke me up my spirit today. It reassured me that what I’m doing on my own to grown in faith an become stronger is the right way. So thank you guys❤️! I would like to hear more topics like this one on your podcast.
Thank you again so much for talking about real issues❤👍. I'm wondering if you know of a good book or audio book about Identity in Christ? I've followed Jesus for a long time now but only in the last 2 years or so I've realized (ok Jesus opened my eyes lol) of my struggle, my addiction has to do with mis-identity...as in finding my acceptance in people, etc. I know of one book but it's sort of hard to read bcs it's very wordy, nothing against that author. Thx so much for being faithful to Jesus!
So true, happenned to me few times, the sin you are highlighting, and saying now, and thinking you are such a “bold Christian”, than situations happenns that you are thinking how did that sin came in my life?!:0
You guys are great and very helpful. May the Lord Bless you both☺️♥️🙏🏻 I just wanted to ask if you can do an in detail video about "how do you know you will be going to heaven, even as a sinner". Although we now it's accepting Jesus our Lord Saviour, and know he is the son of man, and changing your ways, people do still sin unfortunately we battle the enemy daily even in our walk through Christ it's never easy, although worth it. The question is still asked, then how am I so sure. May the Lord continue to give you both his Wisdom to teach your your RU-vid channel or I'm general. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏻♥️
If u want to help me move me to a place and watch over me let me live with someone who will stop any sins or any sins I’m doin I might not fully be aware about I might be able to or know I’m able to stop the sins of the 10 commandment but it still should be on the table to block the devil from tempting me I would allow a godly person to do that for me and for Jesus
