Choose God to Be in the Driver's Seat - Romans 8 #2 | Jonathan Pokluda

Who is in the driver's seat of your life? You or God? Studying Romans 8:5-13, Paul explains that there's a fight for the driver's seat of our minds - our flesh, our sinful nature, is fighting against the Holy Spirit in us if we believe in Christ. And whoever wins that fight, determines our destination. Sin leads to death, but fixing our minds on the things of God leads us to life and peace. It's up to us to designate a driver. If we choose to walk with the Spirit, and fill our minds with the things of God, we start to do the things of God and not the desires of our flesh. Who will you choose to drive your life? __

I have tried and tried to follow Christ, but I don’t think I have the strength to stop being lustful, using drugs & alcohol and I feel weak. I feel like there is no way God can forgive me for the things I’ve done. Im a lost cause but I don’t want to be. I admire the joy and peace that I see in the followers and If anyone reads this please pray for me. I want to become your brother in Christ and to become a part of this family. I love you all and may God continue blessing you!

You cannot beat any of these struggles in your own strength. But if you accept God's love and forgiveness, he will release you. He will give you strength. You do not have to fix yourself before God forgives you and accepts you. He loves you as you are and will help you to become better. Praying for you.

hey JP am from southern part of India, a place called Hyderabad. wanted you and the porch know that your sermons have been instrumental in my life. its the will of God and would like to praise God the Lord of Hosts for this amazing sermon. i could relate to your struggle. God bless you JP and may God's Spirit guide you continuously.

[@morsecode9223]

Wow! I'm a Hyderabadi too and I've been blessed by JP's ministry as well.

[@ersantosjr]

great sermon per usual by JP. really enjoyed hearing a male and female's testimony. gave me a great perspective of how each gender struggles with sin. The porch is definitely a church that I can relate too. I love how this church acknowledges brokenness and that through Christ we are forgiven and saved. Thank you so much, and may Christ continue to bless your wonderful ministry. -Eugene

Jp's authenticity is such an encouragement. That story he shared at the end isn't something many people would share.

[@artx7501]

agree. a situation that I relate to.

[@oliviagardner2624]

[@smokyquartz5817]

With such recognizable buzz words it's obvious they wrote this for her. The baby voice makes it extra dark.

[@smokyquartz5817]

This "pastor" is such a hot mess it blows my mind. The backward hypocritical things he says makes me nauseous. The though that he's misleading all these people is sick and sad. God I hope people see clearly.

[@mzavros]

A nonexistent being in the driver's seat??? No thanks.

[@jordanwhitson1730]

Thank you all so much! You don't understand how important your videos are to me. Godbless!!!
