Whoever is reading this God is still with you no matter how painful, depressing or hard things are. Trust in God. He will rescue you and will not fail.
I keep seeing your messages at the exact right times for weeks now I've been in a low and dark place for almost 3 years now but these bring comfort, God bless you.
This is so scary and tricky! Please Heavenly Father protect us from evil in Jesus mighty name! Help us to seek your kingdom and I seal this with the blood of JESUS
It's hard to be a true christian in society nowadays. Most of people that say they are christian or catholic are just lukewarm and hypocritical people. It's hard for me because I struggle with a lot of loneliness, depression, and social isolation and anxiety. I'm 20 and I just feel like I don't belong or fit in with other kids my age. I don't have a lot of friends. All everybody wants to do is party, do drugs, and hookup. Social media makes life more depressing. Dating in our society is terribly corrupted. The popular thing especially for young people is hookups, one night stands, casual sex, short term flings...not christian dating for the purpose of a God centered marriage. If I watch non-christian dating videos I get really confused and discouraged because they tell you that you need to say or do certain things to get a girl to sleep with you. Basically how much "game" you have. Like you have to be an alpha male and manipulate a girl into "loving " you. (Which technically, isn't really love at all). For example: "Say these 5 words to get any girl to have sex with you". That advice is corrupting. I mainly just focus on Christian centered dating advice since it gives me hope to find a real christian woman. I would only consider dating a girl who was a TRUE christian, but also one that I am attracted too. I don't believe in the worldly way of dating or even dating sites because 99% of the time it's just for hookups, casual sex and short term flings. It's difficult because my beliefs don't line up with what the world does. Even at church it is hard because I see a lot of hypocritical and lukewarm christians at church. They say one thing and live a lifestyle that's completely opposite. A real man leads a woman closer to God, not the bedroom. It's not about finding a woman that will give you an awesome night. It's about finding the right woman that will make you happy for a lifetime....unfortunately society doesn't see it that way. I easily get discouraged thinking that I'll never meet the right girl. Edit: I appreciate all the likes and the kind and encouraging comments. Thank you and God bless! 🙏
ChiefOnALeaf Focus on God. Cut out the worldly dating videos and advice that goes against God He knows the desires of our hearts; He PLACED them there. Don’t His timing is perfect. Just do His will, He it Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who will provide. Seek His kingdom first above all. Be encouraged, our trials strengthen us. You are never alone 🙏
1 John 5:19-21 (NIV) 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. Brother in Christ be encouraged to continue on the narrow path finding your joy in obeying the commands of the only true and wise God our Savior Jesus Christ. Ai'men🙏🏽
Young MAN, you are very spiritually gifted. And on the NARROW PATH stay there, you are woken and see things many young people choose not to see even when it's right in front of their faces. STAY FOCUS on JESUS and be satisfied with HIS WILL FOR your life at this time. What JEHOVAH has for you, no one can take it away it is all on GOD'S TIMING. REMEMBER DON'T BE ANXIOUS OF THINGS, PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. JESUS HAS NOT AND WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU, HE KNOWS THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. THE YOUNG LADY HE HAS FOR YOU, MAY NOT BE READY YET, AND HE MAYBE GETTING HER TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU ARE IN YOUR WALK WITH CHRIST. LET'S JUST SAY SHE MIGHT NEED A LITTLE MORE SEASONING. SO YOU REMAIN FOCUSED ON JESUS GET A CLOSER AND STAY ALERT AND HELP OTHERS SEEK JESUS TIMING ITS ALL IN HIS TIME. GOD BLESS YOU EARTHLY ANGEL...
1. cutting a deal with "God"(Satan) 2. adding your own meaning to an unrelated event. 3. what you heard doesn't correspond with the bible/real life circumstances. 4.someone give a sign from "god"(satan) for their own glory. 5.leading you from God prescribed will(the word) just a brief sum
I was in new age as well. Jesus said: the truth will set us free. I'm now free from new age theories. But Still battling with some witchcraft in combination with erotics. The holy spirit is leading to a deeper peace. Humbling myself daily, staying in His love longer and longer.
MvE the Lord will set you free brother/sister I was also involved but the Lord saved me and he delivered me from things I got myself into😭✝️❤️ thanks be to God his blood is enough to cleanse us!!!✝️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you can message me anytime on here or my instagram @3armita3
Nette - nette I saw that a thousand times when talking to witch ladies. They are blind folded and their position causes a strong rebellion against the Word of God. Praying for these people is one thing I can do.
@@Michel777 I agree with you. That is all we can do if they are resistant to hearing the gospel & what we have to say. We must lead by example, if you are able to be in their lives. Otherwise, the people that i know that are still in this world but not in regular contact, all I can do is pray for them. The enemy hates to lose his servants but God is has power over all power of the enemy & he can be defeated. There is a testimony i saw on Sid Roths channel that helped me, it was from a very long time ago, about a woman who was working as a Psychic, badly abused as a child & explained how they spirits she worked with turned against her & she eventually found salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ. He is good & He is faithful. God bless you all.
I’ve screwed up so so many times and God still blesses me somehow. He has saved me a million times over it seems and I still screw up all the time, even though I try not too... It is difficult.
Number 2 is really tricky especially for those who are just getting started on their relationship with God. I tend to think every little thing is a sign from Him. Thank you for this video.
“God doesn’t bless us because we are good. God blesses us because He is good. Certainly, He will require obedience from us before He will bless us with certain gifts. But that is so we are MATURE enough to handle those gifts and not because God wants us to earn good things from Him.” Amen. 😊 This is liberating! God bless you.
As I’ve said, I suffer from depression and anxiety and many times felt like the devil is trying to overtake me and my soul. I have to really break through that and claim God as my savior and that the evil one leave me alone. I’m doing all I can to listen more to God but I do fail at times. I’m only human. But I pray for myself, my husband and or family and friends every night. Also for this evil virus to be eradicated. I’m also very spiritual and believe in life after death, etc.
I too have suffered from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. But we are to focus on our relationship. Not necessarily rituals or being spiritual.
@@ladennayoung2939 Check out this article: www.takebackyourtemple.com/3-ways-to-lift-the-spirit-of-heaviness/ It gave me a new perspective on my depression. (BTW, you have nice hair!)
Feelings of loss can get you through depression.in the last year i had moments of depression i felt my brethren are not helping either coz i have informed some about what i was going through....its a grip of the devil..ine thing that you can get through is focusing on God..what he is saying in his words and meditating on the word...thats how i got through by his grace.God bless
It’s crazy how I was praying to get an opportunity to talk to my friend about God and a couple days later my friend calls me and asks me if I believe in God and if he should read the Bible!😁🙏🏽
I "accidentally" tapped This video. It came out of nowhere. Turns out, it was what I needed at the very moment. Indeed, I was deceived with very subtle deceiptions. The no.1 hit me the hardest... For 1 week, I lost my appetite to read my bible. I still have a lot to learn indeed
I had my baby almost 2 months ago. 1 week before I had him, I was at Target and this lady who I don’t know, randomly came up to me. She told me she was a Christian and wasn’t sure if I was too but something inside of her was telling her to let me know that everything was going to be okay. She saw my belly and said God knew the fear I had going into labor but he wanted to reassure me that there is nothing to fear (she even quoted a Bible scripture) and that he loves me and my son very much. When she told me this, it brought me to tears because I had been praying since I became pregnant of how fearful I was going into labor since this was my first pregnancy. I never had anyone come up to me and say something like this to me before. After watching this video, it made me think if she would be considered a false prophet?? I’m a little confused as I know God sometimes speaks to us through other people.
God just used her to witness to u. It has happened to me before at a grocery store. Some stranger quoted scripture telling me not to worry and I was so full of anxiety that day
God doesn’t bless us because WE are good God blesses us because HE IS GOOD 100% facts, all day every day! May we lean to God to be pleasing to him! So shall it BE!!!! ❤️
I had an incest relationship with my sister and I got saved.I chose not to be a part of it and I was so joyful and I would give my 10% tithing to the church out of love for God I did not at all think that this would save me or bring me blessings but out of joy and love I give cheerfully God has turned my life around
I see that sometimes I am getting it right and sometimes I'm getting wrong but I believe God has given me advice to correct and improve my walk with him thanks mark
I agree with you about God and the devil is pretending to be a Christian and his son Jesus Christ amen. I'm not going to listen to Satan now more than ever before.
2. “Satan knows that when we want something too badly, we are easily influenced to believe his lives. When we have an idol in our hearts, it shapes the way we see every thing. Satan often uses the idols in our hearts to tempt us to see what we WANT to see and hear what we WANT to hear.”
We don’t follow signs, signs follow us . Mark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow those who believe. Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known.
Signs follow us! Wow! I wish I had known this scripture & in its context sooner. But I know now! Hallelujah thank you for sharing this Holy Spirit led wisdom!
There was a time when I was thinking about the guy I liked and when I opened my facebook there was a posting from a girl who had my first name and the guy's last name. I thought it was a sign but it wasn't since the relationship did not progress. 😕
😁 Well Mark I see you receive messages in God's perfect timing. I was just thinking an hour ago that I don't even deserve all the blessings He gives me each and every day. I guess it's just my human mind trying to figure out "why?" God bless you and your lovely family! 🙏✝️✌😇
I have faith in God and I know God is going to help me find the right one and I am true Christian.. women.. thank you Mark God bless you I love videos . God will open the door to all of us he loves us so much.. and he wants us all to be happy.. God is speaking to us throw your videos I do believe that..
one of the things satan often does to me is tempt me with my own desire to do good. he will call me to do this or that and makes it sound like im being righteous or sacrificing but ultimately they are traps that lead to self harm. if a voice is calling you to do something righteous but the spirit leading you to do it is fear, guilt or pressure rather then love, do not listen to it no matter how holy it seams. God is love and he calls with love always.
Your videos are so meaningful to me! After just recently going through a very traumatic experience in my own life. Trying to see God for directions has been the hardest it's ever been for me moving forward. So confusing when you traumatic experience attacks your own mind. Thank you for this and the other videos!
THANK YOU. EXACTLY. 👍 You're smart. Only few caught it. HE'S TRYING TO MIMIC THE VOICE OF GOD TO SWAY THINGS. Their on DAMAGE CONTROL. God has blessed me with discernment to see through it. If you dont look closely you'll miss it. He's blowing smoke. Ignore him.
When you have the example of the mission trip, I have to say, you are 100% correct. Two years ago, my church were going to a mission trip to Cuba and I really wanted to go, I prayed about it and everything. The spaces for filled up and later on two spots opened up because they decided not to go. I was so excited, but unfortunately it did not come to pass. Last year, our youth planned a mission trip to Mexico and I was so in. I prayed and doors were just opened. Let me tell you, the trip was $800, but I only payed $200. We sold plates, wash cars, etc and the amount of money we made was amazing. It literally payed for our mission trip and it also to buy medical supplies, food and just money to have, give in Mexico! My pastor says “ Gods will, Gods bill” it was literally awesome!!
So many people use the spiritual to profit whether through control and manipulation ( especially mind control), financial ( such as the accumulation of riches and land ownership) or sexual abuse, much is rampant within the spiritual and religious communities but kept under a veil of secrecy. It's important to use discernment and speak up if any type of sin is being committed against oneself! The way to recognise God is that God is pure, the rest is human error.
Oh! That's very true brother, I was praying to God for revealing me truth, this is very true God has revealed all the truth. Glory to God and God bless you brother
Everything you stated her is what I went through.. I struggled with my breakup trying to do God's work by my power, but none of it work... Lord, your grace and mercy is a I seek for in my life....
God is not a God of "Quid Pro Quo.".Please forgive me, and I don't mean to offend anyone. But that sounds so "Catholic." We are "saved by grace through faith." Not works (lest any man should boast). God tries every "believers" mettle (or faith) through the fire, to see what your faith is made of. We truly were created with FREE-WILL to choose this or that. Because in the end, when judgment day comes NO ONE will be able to point the finger of blame at God. No one! God doesn't send anyone to hell. We send ourselves to hell with the choices we make. However, you must study the word to know the truth and the truth shall make you FREE. Your faith will be tried through fiery trials. What path you choose to take during that trial proves where your faith lies and who you are (whether your mettle is gold, stubble or cheap electroplate). It's simple: You either make decisions based on the dictates of FLESH (Fear, Lust, Ignorance) or you make decisions based on the dictates of SPIRIT (Faith, Knowledge, Wisdom, and Repentance). It's that simple. But irrespective of the scenario of the trial, the choice always remains YOURS. We're not automatons. So please don't blame God for the choices you make when your life turns out to be NOT what you wanted. We're free moral agents. We are God's offspring. The choice was always yours. Lastly, God cares more about your personal relationship with Him first before any temporal, fleshly pleasure you may ask for or want. That's why the first commandment is "Thou shall have NO other gods before me" speaking of Himself. The Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. He is omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (everywhere at once) and omnipotent (all-powerful). If you're ever going to fear something. Fear God. Not man.
It’s always Christians insulting Catholics! Do not do that and don’t spew things that aren’t completely true. Catholics are main priority is God and our faith secondly yes helping out thy neighbor when in need and not turn your back on them. Only help from the kindness of your heart not just because you want to boast(big no no).
Ahhh...So I have been looking for a new job in a career that I have wanted for several years but since it’s not coming through and I am able to stay in my current position, I am apparently supposed to stay there. Got it! Thank you. Now I can be done with that and focus on what I have in hand.
I would see that as one piece of evidence, but when combined with others (like peace about that decision and what you sense God saying to you in prayer), it does present a strong case
Most the time folks like to blame SATAN.. when the real enemy is you and what's in you. Smite sin.. go all in.. get rid of the wrong and it makes room for the right. Decrease so he can increase.. when you renew your mind by the washing of the word.. it's your own walk that has to be protected ,so the word can be retained. You will leak if you allow other idols in to have competition.. then you wonder why your attacked and being ruled by feelings.. then you wonder why you stay around people, places and things.. only to minimize, justify, deny,spiritualize.. and keep you bad and busy not to truly REPENT.. FEW WILL MAKE IT.. ARE YOU THE FEW? COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM AND BE SEPARATED SAYS THE LORD, TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU.. DONT HAVE SIDE KICKS.. CHICKS, STICKS OR PICKS BEFORE A HOLY GOD.. HE WILL SPUE YOU OUT ON THAT DAY, AS WELL AS BLOT YOUR NAME OUT OF THE GOOD BOOK OF LIFE. HE IS HOLY NOT HORNY.. HE IS WRATH AND HIS LOVE IS JUST.. ITS JUDGMENT DAY NOT MERCY DAY. TO BE BORN AGAIN, BAPTIZED AND HOLY SPIRIT FILLED MEANS TO COME TO HIM ON HIS TERMS.. YOU FORSAKE YOUR LIFE.. DREAMS, DESIRES, GOALS.. YOU PICK UP YOUR CROSS DAILY AND FOLLOW JESUS TIL THE END. THERE ARE SERIOUS CONDITIONS TO HIS ENTRANCE INTO HEAVEN. SALVATION IS TO EACH MAN THERE OWN. ITS AN OPEN BOOK TEST FOR EVERYONE.. WHEN THE BODY SUIT DROPS YOU DONT GET TO RENOGSIATE THIS. REPENT SINNERS.. PASS FROM DEATH TO LIFE. HE IS COMING BACK FOR HIS SAINTS NOT SINNERS.. WHO BEWITCHED YOU??? DONT FOLLOW MORTAL MEN TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE. COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM AND BE SEPARATED. WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.. YOU WILL DIE, YOUR BODY SHOULD SMELL LIKE A DEAD CORPSE TO THE WORLD.. STAY IN THE SCHOOL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GET FILAD LIKE A FISH FOR HIS GLORY!!!
Satan is the father of all lies. When you're tired, heartbroken and vulnerable,it's easy for the enemy to get in and deceive you and others. Take your time, check things out, put out some fleeces and test things making sure they line up with the word! Take it from someone who rushed in and made mistakes by doing things to the contrary to the above advice and now reaping the harvest of bad seed sown.... God bless
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger so pretty much don’t go out looking for them and then claim “God is saying XX and it proves I’m right!” Correct? Appreciate you
Thank you so much brother, for sharing this. It brought me so much understanding about many things I had been questioning, for a long time. There was even an issue I had had no peace about, just yesterday, regarding someone else's life, which seemed to me like, "scratch my back and I'll scratch your's."
Hi Mark, was so amazed when this video came up first on my homepage of youtube, as I had just read Isaiah 55:10. Felt like God was speaking to me... So cool
Thank you for this video brother. Let's continue to praise God and grow in the faith, this pandemic is very devastating but if there is one blessed hope from this that is Jesus! Let's encourage eachother and trust in God
While it is true that we can't make a deal with God to receive blessings from Him, scripturally there are many blessings that God offers that can *only* be received through our obedience and faith in Him, not just grace.
Wow!! I once was a lost one.. Used to listen to evil things.. But now I came back to God.. I also found out that Satan was deceiving me all the time!!! I did not clicked this video accidentally.. Jesus wants me to see this
Giving should make you feel good. Thats the gift. Gift giving isnt an interest based act. It is joyful to give. It means you blessed and you want to bless others, being a reflection of your father.
if... you are dating a girl that tells you if you dont listen to what she is telling you then you are not a real man and not prepared to be the christian head of a home, wife, and family. Its amazing how so many women let the devil use them in relationships just for temporary gains like shopping, paying their bills, making them "feel good". This video is amazing in so many ways. Thanks Mark!
I believe God speaks through us in many ways. Many signs it’s not just hearing from church. It can be through numbers especially when repeated over and over. Numbers are mention in the scriptures way to much for it not to mean anything. I thought I was tripping when I kept seeing particular numbers. I even said that’s that New Age crap, but researching that’s not true. This pastor talked about numbers and how God love numbers and I like to add detail too. I mean there is a book in the Bible called Numbers. So I prayed to God for confirmation on if this is something that I should pay attention too and it was/is. And it honestly made sense with scriptures to back jt up
Recently God told me to press on to my goal from Phillipians 3. And that goal is moving out. I have been listening to Satan more than God. I've been so distracted with finding a relationship, when God is calling me to move to Florida. I know God has someone out there for me, but maybe he's not here where I currently live. But I wonder if there are any signs God is telling you to move out. Any signs you guys have when he's telling you to move out?
Obediance is the key word here. Whether we are obediant to God or obediant to satan, either way we are enslaved. Freedom is the illusion. To make a choice from options that are offered is NOT freedom. True choice is infinite.
Thanks for the video. I agree with you, mostly. I have seen signs from The Lord, not for my benefit, but for His service. e.g. - I was sitting in my office one morning and I had to forward an email to my coworkers with an assignment for them to do. I ALWAYS use the abbreviation "FYI" (for your information) but this time it came to my mind to use "FYH" (for your handling). Although I NEVER use FYH, I used it anyway to indicate to my coworkers that they had SOMETHING TO DO, an ASSIGNMENT (this is important later). Later that day after work I was on my way home and I noticed a very elderly woman as I sat at the red light. She was in the median between my lane and the lanes going the other way. She was holding up her arm (as though praising) and I thought to myself "Why is she out here. It's so hot and she appears so elderly." My heart went out to her and I thought about making a u-turn to go talk to her and help her but two things stopped me: 1. Sometimes I wonder if it's my own mind leading me and not The Lord. 2. Traffic was heavy and I knew if I turned around it would take me a while to get to her and delay me getting home that much more. So I brushed it off and decided to just go home. As I drove just a little way down the road a white vehicle pulled right in front of me. The first three letters on the license plate "arrested" my attention. I have learned that when something arrests my attention, The Lord is speaking to me. The first three letters were "FYH" and I immediately knew "You have an assignment to do." So, I turned around and when I finally got up to where the elderly woman was I could hear as I moved closer she was praising Jesus. I asked why she was out there and she said it was the only way she could get her extra things like soap, paper towels, etc. I told her ok and I pulled out $20 which was all I had on me. Her eyes got big and as she took my hand with one of her hands, she raised her other hand up and prayed "Thank You Jesus! Only YOU can put it on their hearts to come help me!" I was blessed, she was blessed and The Lord received praise! "This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else." -2 Corinthians 9:12-13
Just recently someone came to my life and it just seem too good to be true...thing is, am distracted from God’s will, i was confused and wondering is this an angel of light, tricky part is that the person is a believer...this video gives me clarity as he is doing what Mark says in point 5. This video came just when all this is happening..🤔🤔 Thank you Mark and help me pray not to Fall
I think the false word of faith prosperity teachers need to hear this too. Can’t believe some of the crazy things that Copeland and Duplantis claim God told them.
