It is such a beautiful reckoning when we are set free from bondage because Christ, in His grace has opened our eyes to the eternal. Thank you Father, may I never again seek self satisfaction over a life surrendered to you! Psalm 143:10 NLT Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.

Purity, sincerity and honesty are some of the few that I need to work, especially in my relationship with God😔🙏🏻I pray for anyone who also struggles, you are not alone but I know that we will overcome it all in Jesus’s Name💖🙌🏻

Imagine the Chaos Imagine having 500 different versions of the constitution in this land. Imagine the chaos that would ensue if you used different words, all trying to say the same thing explained differently. The deception of the enemy has deceived man into changing the Word of God into over 500 different versions; all trying to say the same thing explained differently. Imagine the chaos that would ensue. Imagine the chaos that has ensued. You look around and ask yourself how this country has become so morally and spiritually bankrupt. Everything starts with the word. You change the words, do you not expect different consequences from these changes? How greatly we protest when the constitution is challenged, changed, or altered in any way; yet we have been so deceived into believing that changing the Word of God is acceptable. How deceived have we truly become? Any man who condones the Word of God to be changed or altered in any way is a man who has been deceived.

Amen! Thank you Pastor Vince.

Do not make for yourself idols or worship them.

Thanks Vince!

Over the years, I've met quite a few people who follow the prosperity gospel. Unfortunately, there was one I encountered recently who feel as if their salvation is dependent upon their material wealth. I shared Math 6:19-21 with her but she wasn't phased by it. In fact, she told me that I should read the Bible more. SMH

HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT AN IT HE IS A PERSON HE IS A MAN AND HIS PRONOUNS ARE HE

Come to the table today. You don’t want to miss out on this life changing opportunity and experience!

While listening to you this morning, the image of Noah and the flood entered my mind. At the moment I came into full communion with Christ just over a year ago, all the earthly possessions that possessed me were wiped away by the flood and the mercy of God and I was given the opportunity to store up the treasures that truly matter in God.

Say “No” to N+1

👌👊 Great word this morning brother!

James is so powerful this was the first book I started my walking Christ with and it continues to guide me to this day thank you brother Miller praying for all of you brothers made today be a glorious day with God in front and with Jesus at our side and all the angels that are back those in heaven and those on Earth

Thank you Vince! I appreciate this word i prayed that prayer! I choose Jesus! I need prayer 🙏🏼 Jesus will make a way his will not mine for my life.

Hello, sir, you make an excellent point about the tendency to go on auto-pilot mode following a season of success in overcoming sin and temptation. C.S. Lewis pointed out in The Screwtape Letters that Man is prone to becoming proud after gaining humility. Whether we as children (spiritual or physical) knew great missionaries or grew up in great spiritual darkness, the glory of our salvation belongs chiefly to God, not to ourselves. This is why leaders must be doubly cautious in the church. If we begin to add our flesh back into the mix of the Spirit, we will lose heart, grow faint, and fail fast; however, if we consider Christ as our Lord, we will find out just how wretched is the state of our heart. We need a lifelong Helper, not just for conversion.

Speaking of plans. I'm curious if you know if God's plans align best with the Calvinist, or an Arminianist, or a Christian Universalist, or an Annihlist, or an Inferno’ist, or some other Soteriological option? Strange that a topic at the very core of Christianity, and with such [alleged] consequences hanging in the balance, would have so much conflicting scripture and ambiguity. Couldn’t God have communicated the topic in crystal clear terms? Wouldn't He actually have a [self-imposed] Moral responsibility to?

AMEN! I used to fear saying this surrender prayer but now I draw my Hope in Faith when using it I tell you what, every morning I still wake up full blown Chris so I have to say it to keep me in His arms and away from my constant desire to controll the outcome. Our Father listens and provides things we don’t even know yet. Stay strong 💪 by staying humble fellas

🌹AMEN👑✝️AMEN👑🌹

Long story short… recently I had a day off work and I was thinking about what I wanted to do. I started the day early at men’s group but had a blank slate after that. At men’s group a brother mentioned giving our time to God and asking Him for His plan. That cut me deep because I was making a plan and didn’t once consult the Lord. I asked the Lord what he wanted me to do that day. Immediately in my minds eye I saw the word hospital. I drove to Sarasota Memorial praying the Lord would show me what He wanted. When I got there I saw a guy who was a valet, we locked eyes and I treated him good morning. As I walked past him I felt the unction of the Lord… that’s who he wanted me to pray for. I connected with him and told him Jesus loves him and in fact sent me here just for him. He said that resonated with him. I asked him what he needed prayer for and he giggled… Turns out he’s a med student. So I prayed over him. God loved that man so much he sent a total stranger to pray a blessing over him. Later in the day my wife and I connected with a homeless guy and we blessed him by meeting some of his physical needs and we prayed over him. God’s plan was so much better than mine. He used me to reach out to others when I was focused selfishly on myself. I was so much more blessed and fulfilled in His plan.

Amen! Thank you Pastor Vince.

Pray for me Vince that I leave the world and sinful lifestyles and return to the ministry there are people dying and going to hell let him make a message out of my mess that I can help certain people to overcome and come or return to christ ❤❤

Great message! Thank you Pastor Vince. Praying that I can see Gods will in my life. That my will doesn’t cloud me seeing His.

Most shouldn’t teach, do you realize you cant even draw yourself to God apart from Him? He began the work, He finishes the work, and yet we will be rewarded each according to their deeds. Unfortunately teachers often fail to express the true nature of the faith constantly needing to hold sway over others. But the truth is once someone is sealed with the Holy Spirit they have the guarantee of salvation.. teachers like this though will never accept the actual truth of the Gospel

New follower of your show. I have added this to my daily collection of Christian podcasts that I listen to each morning. This was a particularly good lesson today because I have learned firsthand how God’s plans are not my own. His timing is teaching me patience and to fully trust in Him. I do trust Him but I’m kind of a control freak so it’s a little like “here God, take the wheel but let me hold on too.” Thank you for your encouraging work!

Like @imnocrazy2 said, it's difficult when you don't have a longer term vision for where God is leading your life. Over the past few years, even making plans part a couple of months seems almost pointless and I've gotten very frustrated by this and I don't know why God has me in this extended waiting period. What I am learning however is that, despite not knowing what God’s will for me will be 3 months from know, I can know what it is for me today. I'm learning to abide in Christ each day, and look for opportunities to s she his love.

Thank you for following God's plan and leading us daily. If the journey is 24 years our small older men's group will follow. We do you daily devotional sent out on Signal and then we do a Zoom meeting on Tuesday nights to review the week. We have been using your platform for a while now and enjoy your insights. God has blessed each of us in ways that are undeserving for sure but isn't that Grace? What a might God we serve. May your day be filled with all of God's blessings and may your ministry continue to help men and women alike.

a 'few' that hit me today? I feel like I just hit myself with my own car! God bless you Vince! I wish this video could be watched in all men's church groups!

Make no mistake, God has richly blessed me way beyond what I deserve, but here is my situation: I struggle with vision. I can look back and clearly see how God has worked in my life but looking forward it seems I spend all my time and resources bumping around in the dark, unable to find God's plan for me. This leaves me with a sense of ineffectiveness. As a man of "action" (I think most of us are) this leads me to feelings of incompetence. So the struggle for me is to accept the reality that, without God running the show, I am just that - ineffective and incompetent. A study like this is like a flashlight - it helps me to see glimpses of God's plan, I just need to be content with seeing the parts of His plans He wants me to see.

Alexander, Cæsar, Charlemagne and myself founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon sheer force. Jesus Christ alone founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men will die for Him. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte Even someone like Napoleon Bonaparte knew that Jesus was different

Quite a few P’s… however, undivided passion, does produce perpetual fulfillment. It took me a long time to realize this, and it is daily obedience as you say that is my part of the deal. If I continue to surrender daily to his will and his plan the joy and the peace that he provides is amazing, thank you for your ministry. I appreciate you.

I'm glad you're following God's plan! I really appreciate it. Your ministry helps me daily. Thanks

Super powerful lesson convicting to the core Andrew godley wisdom that needs to be followed amen Brothers praying for all of you today

This is so good. Thank you so much!! I've always wondered in what way I am proud. These points help me to pinpoint. So good!! Its hard for me when critical people criticize me. Then, the defensiveness comes up.

In uncertain times a believer could rely on the Bible’s promise of answered prayer. “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them”. Except for the little detail that it isn’t actually true, but rather a Biblical deception that 100% of Christians know all too well. Yet how many Christians stop to ponder (or study) other portions of the Bible likely just as deceptive? It’s a bit odd. Does anyone really believe there was any point in history that God desired we put to death a person for: disrespecting a parent, picking up sticks on the Sabbath, adultery, idolatry, blasphemy, etc.? Of course not. And the examples are numerous. We know better.

Truly beautiful video, praise the holy father and our lord Jesus

So good! Father, continue working in us that we would learn to live for you, pursuing you, laboring for you. Living for you is really living ❤️🔥

Self reliance, stubbornness, intellectual , repetitional. I grew up in an abusive home which causes alot of the “pride” moments to happen.

A very powerful truth that has caused an epiphany or two in my life.

If I had had it, my way I would have missed knowing God's purpose for me. But he had other plans. I now realize that tomorrow isn't promised, and this life i had given up on isn't freely given! Share your burdens and live your life for the God who paid the price for you (us) to live.

My grandma always used to say to me before she went to bed, “I’ll see ya in the morning…Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” Man I miss hearing that.

Proverbs 16:9 in their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Amen! Thank you Pastor Vince.

Vince. You are well aware of my circumstances. I thought I was in control for over 5 decades, then God allowed something he hated to accomplish something he loved. Now, I surrender myself to God each day and ask Him to guide me in my thoughts, words, and actions.

As I was told some time ago: If you want to make God laugh, make plans.

My one piece of advice for the younger folks is not to dream your life away. If you have a goal, take action now and trust in God that whatever happens is his will because God is separate from time and knows the past, present, and future. I'm 70 and take one day at a time, giving it to God, who owns it anyway.

❤

Well I'm definitely in for the 23 years and 11 months plan. And yes I've been arrogant in my thinking that I know what I'm doing and where I'm going. But three years of things happening I realized that God is the author and I must be useful wherever he sends me or whatever situation he puts me in only then will I understand the majesty and sovereignty of God's will. And it's nice to kind of ask God if there's something I can do. Because I have daily conversations with him as if he is my father. And for me that has made all the difference thank you brother Miller in for 23 .11 I'd still like a certificate or plaque or something that says that I've committed. Maybe I'll put something together. Of course leave it to the blind guy to come up with something visual😂
