It is a beautiful sermon by a beautiful man with a vision that was God given. I am so blessed to be able to listen to his words all these years later. RIP In Heaven Martin Luther King, your words will continue bring people together in Brotherhood forever.
December 7 2021 Here by God's grace and mercy Thank You Jesus for a timeless sermon from one of the greatest pastors in America. Thank You Jesus for blessing me with two amazing children family and prayer warriors.
MLK is only 28 at that time with the maturity and voice of a 50 year old..this will always be astonishing..he was called to do a job by God and he did it..changed the world..rest in heaven MLK jr.
" I HAVE A DREAM " ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND + BEAUTIFUL SPEECHES OF: DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING!!! ONE OF MY HEROS!!! I AM NOT BLACK BUT THAT HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE INEQUALITY + INJUSTICE. TQ KINDLY FOR SHARING THESE MESSAGES!!! BLESSINGS!!!
MLK is one of the men the Lord sends to this earth every 5 thousand years to show mankind where he is going wrong, I'm a white man not that it is important, but MLK is my hero and because of that all mankind whatever colour or faith will have a place in my heart, forgiveness is the most important word in the English dictionary RIP MLK never forgotten
"MLK is one of the men the Lord sends to this earth every 5 thousand years" I agree, I am not a Christian and MLK pulls at my heart strings and spiritual consciousness. I have yet to hear one speech or writing by MLK that has not caused a tear to fall from my eyes. We've come along way but there is still room for healing.
Jenuwin Moor Like when the cherokee tribe got starved by whites. How can you love these white murders. I don't understand it either. But love your enemy was spoken out of jesus and kings mouth. Just maybe some times the truth isn't understood?
What a Man of God he was, he always spoke about the truth to mankind,preached the Gospel of God,and this is the kind of message I really wanted to hear. Forever in our hearts Dr Martin Luther King. Jr.
Dr. King takes me back to my childhood. I wouldn't go out side to play until I prayed with him on the radio. Now that I'm grown I can understand what he was teaching me, and I still love him. I understand what was going on in society, the condition of society I was growing up in. There is not much difference today. I pray for his soul to rest in peace. His teachings continue on.
Of all his speeches, this one is most pertinent for America today. Teachers and academics should take it to heart and make it the focal point of the semester.
Love Love Love Love Love...it will cause a shift in the world like none have ever seen!! It is the answer to the questions that divide us...we must pray for Love!!
Thank God For My Greastest Leader I Have Seen And Heard His Godly Inspired Words That God Gave Him For His People For Now I Live In The Prophetic Time And I Know Now Who He Was A Man Of God
MLK jr..You are still living! I can not believe this was preached in 1957!!! (though i believe😮). .it actualy so obvious in our churches and society what you had preached. Great preach, wisdom! inspired by the spirit of God.
I can very honestly say that after listening to that message I, as a white Christian conservative Trump supporter, find not a single word to disagree with Dr King....and while there is enough blame to go around... who's to say that a black leader like MLK couldn't lead this entire nation out of the horrible State in which we are in today...God bless Martin Luther King....he certainly knew the secret.... Love your enemies...
Mmm it's pretty funny to watch the white evangelicals imitate the stereotypical black Baptist preacher. In fact, it's funny to watch some black preachers do it - remember Obama's controversial preacher Jeremiah Wright... definitely guilty of that.
+Jeremiah Daniel I think it's a little more nuanced than that. Malcolm X was evolving. In his last years, he reached out to King and, after leaving the Nation of Islam, was poised to work w/ him for human rights. But he was murdered. Like King.
+spiralsone still died in vain and still died in his sins despite words and actions that (took) place as of past tense and not present test in which (takes) place for people to know that after X's death he was another problem in not just Black society or American society but even just the universal society in which that loves stops hate and hate stops love and you can rise up against someone by coming down there level the racism still exist from whites but it dies off and after King's death he showed that he didn't see the color and be (little) Malcolm X's so called intelligence and not undermining the fact that he was murdered and that even John F. Kennedy loved everyone (not) from a racial, sexual, national, or religious stand point he only state that he was murdered for what purpose in did it have to happen to people like him and and that if someone has not done you wrong that another person will not do you wrong for no reason or no purpose in what shape, or form, let alone fashion statement that says the U.S. American gangs are because of the B.P. moment such as the Crips and Bloods for example and that these two gangs let alone brothers in arms who are from the different parties of hate only state that blacks where and still are being labeled as criminal as if someone like King or ''X'' and other Civil Right Leaders say things like 'We Died and Fought for ya'll. So why are ya'll still killing murdering each other for what reason is a black on black crime or a white on white crime let alone even self pride and self hate of people who show no remorse or any dignity of being human so I don't want to state or debate using any other resources that are valid that can only say that there is no such thing as unpredictable in (my) vocabulary because shouldn't people already know that not even flesh and blood can be trusted and that there is a lot of evil in this world and that there is not dubt in my mind that Malcolm X was his own worst enemy.
+spiralsone So true spiralsone, Malcolm X was taught by a very slick man called Elijah Mohamad and Malcolm X was duped by Elijah. When Malcolm X found out and saw that Elijah was a very bad man that was a lover of power, misdeeds, money and sin, and he (Eliljah) knew Malcolm would do the right thing and tell the truth about his misdeeds, and denounce it to all, he had Malcolm X murderd. I think Malcolm truly tried to do the right and paid with the supreme sacrifice.
I knew about the different kinds of love when I heard this speech when I was a teenager .... It's helped me up to this point , to know what kind of love I have
jesus lead my brother to tell the truth every time you spoke amen no doult that God Almighty was with YOU all The DAYS of Your Life and your Son keeps your dream alive in jesus mighty name 777
The best speech from a Rev and Dr that has ever been presented on the planet of Earth of hatred that's hides and lives in side a human being heart for his or her brotheren and sistern Dr.. Michael b4 becoming Rev Dr Martin Luther King King King King King...
Not only a man of God but also a man of Philosophy and Geopolitics, an intelligent man. He suffered from depression for most of his life and yet he became a legend.
This message will always be needed, because humans will always need to be reminded. The more we arrogantly assume we are a more progressive society; the more this message is needed.
Regardless of race, religion, gender, et cetera, character and ethics are missing in our society. My parents had me listen to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream" speech; yet, my parents, clergy, and/or educators never taught me anything about character.
Mr. King is a huge inspiration to all, especially African. Americans in this day and age it's So encouraging to hear and see how much. Faith, Hope, Love and courage rooted in his heart ❤ back in those difficult times Of injustice and racism He is a Great influence on me at this very moment as I admire one of many of his values, I'm thankful.
19:54 I most certainly agree with with that statement about hate You can't fight fire with fire. It will only make the flames bigger and it will eventually consume us
Dr. King is the only Minster in North American history who really says the Gospels as Jesus meant them. He was to me the best Chrstan I have ever heard in my short life. I read many Sermons from the 17th c. onwards and his Sermons are very goldy listen to them and learn what Christ calls all of us who believe to do in our lives. I never got to meet you Dr. King but your work was by no means in vain I will Show the world through my life yours was what we all should be doing as persons of conscience.
Thank you for sharing. I am in the process of writing my first civil rights speech and I was guided to do a google search on MLK and "Love Your Enemies". It is wild because he speaks as I speak even though I have not heard much more than his most commonly shared speeches. Thank you for sharing this work of his. You are loved.
He was a great man of God.He was like a prophet. Martin Luther king the fighter of freedom. king of black.God bless ur soul.made ur soul liv till internatic.we pray that u be in Paradise.I luv u M.l.k

MLK’s voice remains a very loud echo here for Americans & the wORld today just as Jesus Christ’s words stands in contrast to our very actions, theologies, politics, & thoughts Love your Enemy Discover the element of Good in your enemies the very breath given to them as equally given to you To Love thy enemies begins with searching deeply in thine own self and seeing the element of evil in one's own actions, theologies, politics, & thoughts and then turning to thy enemy and seeing the element of good in their actions, theologies, politics, & thoughts If their be any reason to hate yourself for the evil found in you then their be equal "if not more" reason to LoVE thy enemy for the Good found in them N.H.R ~ liTTle boY bRown wORdz R iMAgez
This fella is as much of, honestly if not more so, a darn genius, and thought so incredibly far ahead of his time, as Einstein. An indescribable loss to mankind in a whole; and I would absolutely love to speak with(more or less listen ha) him. Chivalry and simple character couldn't be displayed more elegantly. The fella walked through hell smiling man. if you can't respect that, you can't respect much of anything.
In the age of BLM and riot that is going on. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's sermon on loving your enemies is right on point of race relations. Love is the best way to kill an enemy. We can kill an enemy and turn it into a friend through love.
Natalie D - Why "right now, with this administration in office."? We finally have an administration that has raised the black and hispanic employment rate. We finally have an administration that follows the Constitution, and restricts itself to its legal role. We finally have an administration that brings policies that will result in true dignity for immigrants (forcing Congress to do THEIR job, and deal with the DACA people, rather than the racist "kick the can down the road" policies of the last administration. Do you mean that President Trump needs to forgive all the people who have done so much wrong against him?
