Choosing The Right Guide For Your Life with Rick Warren

saddleback.com/yourfuture - Whenever you travel to a new destination, you have four options to get to know that place: you can walk around, get a map, read a guidebook, or hire a guide. The same goes for your personal life. Which option you choose will determine how effective, meaningful, significant, and fulfilling your life becomes. In this message, Pastor Rick tells us how God has given us both a guidebook in the Bible and a personal guide in the Holy Spirit. You’ll learn the ways the Holy Spirit wants to help us and guide us, and the necessary steps to take to be led by him. Find out how to wait for God’s response, trust his guidance, hear his voice, and rely on the Holy Spirit’s power instead of your own willpower!

I am prone to fear but I do it scared. I was afraid everyday on deployment in Afghanistan but God spoke to me often and I'm grateful for his guidance and protection. So idk but his advice is calming even if youre like me and feel fear often. And he will give u courage to do it scared.

[@soonerxx]

I love listening to Rick Warren. Please pray for me, I am struggling with fear, anxiety & depression I am going through some tough times & need prayers to help me have courage to get through it.

[@janetvillarante2127]

Thank you Rick for the inspirational words of God. It really relieves me listening to your words by the holy spirit. Wishing to attend personally praying for that. I'm from the Philippines and working in Saudi Arabia. We are listening to you specially during our lifegroup. Thanks to you. GOD BLESS YOU MORE for sharing the words of God.

I love pastor Rick. His sermons are always simple but on point.

Dear Mr. Rick Warren, after every single episode of your sermon via youtube, I wish I were in the LakeForest area od southern CA. It only shows the lectrifying vibes I feel while I sit in front of my laptop thousands of miles away. Keep up the good work for our Lord Jesus Christ. Forget about your detractors, all famous people are subject to it, failed humanity cannot stand to see those who have succeeded in any field of endeavor.

[@clfoster3734]

Pastor Rick, please talk as long as you want. I'll be listening. Thank you and May God continue to bless your work. CL

I love listening his preaching because it is the only thing that makes me center in peace, makes me feel comfortable, and I get to know God. Having these feelings are the principales to seek the word of God and be in communion with him. So, it is the only way I can get away from sin. To be far from God is to be close to sin.

When he said what the Holy Spirit told him he relayed it in the same tone and father like speaking the way I hear him! When he said “sit down... and listen.” I was like THATS HIM! That’s what he “sounds like”!!!! One morning I was watching KZbin singing along to music and I almost literally HEARD “stop what you are doing... and pray for your son.” So unsure if that was God or not... I thought it won’t hurt to pray for my son. So I obeyed. Not TWO hours later I get a phone call from the school saying my son was acting up badly again! Now he is doing amazing in school with his behavior! His name is Ezekiel he is 8! Praise God!

I love your sermons, Rick!! Funny lil' story: one of my (old) favorite professors wrote a book, and he mentioned you in the book. I love that book, but I didn't know you when I read the book in the past. I read some of it the other day, and there was "Rick Warren." I was like ... hey, that's my online pastor! 🤗 😄The book is called "Living & Dying with Purpose & Grace" written by James Armstrong, a former minister and counselor and a professor/teacher until he is no longer on Earth. Great human being. Light, Love & Liberty. ☉💛🔔

Still many people needs to listen to your preaching the Wonder of Trinity...God the Father , The Son Lord Jesus Christ & The Holy Spirit..

[@brentgray7508]

Thanks, Rick. I have been battling Depression almost all my life. A few years a go when I had Pulmonary Emblisms, the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin. My Depression is not the sin, mIne was Pornography as a lot of males get caught up in. A friend of mine who is now a Elder in a Church in Maryland sent me 2 books, from there a process of further growth as a Christian began. The books were by Francis Chan, since then, I have read and listened to A. W. Tozer, Louie Giglio, David Platt and several others. Two years ago I turned off the TV though I still watch an occasional movie. I do not need television. I periodically look for news but other then a feed from Fox news and checking the weather that is all. Suicide thoughts will crop up occasionally but I trust God and what he is doing in my life. Yes, I am on disability. I have a lot of versus I like from the Bible but one that stands out recently having listened to 1st Corinthians Paul's own words "As I am". Take care and God Bless.

[@martintorn2303]

I have listened to many youtube videos with Rick..........and I must say that what I hear is mostly Ricks headlines and Ricks words. I do not hear much bible teaching, and absolutely no preaching about escatology, no preaching from revelations and the last days. No preaching about the rapture, not preaching about time of tribulation. No preaching about warning and no preaching about the day of judgement. That to me is a sign that he preach what people likes to hear.............nothing more and nothing less. When the world loves you - you are of the world...................

I had this happend to me at a new church. The spirit wanted me to talk to this woman. She was about 29 and she spoke a few words to me. I looked in her eyes and I told her she was going to have a heart attack. She looked at me in shock. She asked me how did I know that. I told her the spirit shows me things in people. She said she had just gone to the doctor and he said I was going to have a heart attack I only told my husband. I went on further to tell her after looking at her body, you are stressed out to much that will be the cause of it. You are more worried about what u look like and your body looks like. You have no fun in your life or enjoy food. Because your trying to please your family and friends making them happy n what you look like. I told her you can only need to please God and your husband. Leave all those people they aren't your friends.

[@robertpark7668]

I must point out your error in saying Paul decided not to go. to Jerusalem because the Holy Spirit revealed what awaited for him (Acts 21:4) is not in what it says in the Bible. It's exactly the opposite - he decided to go even though the Spirit warned him again through Agabus. I love your teaching, but you slipped on this one.

[@spamh8r1007]

Jonathan Shaklee-it was the God’s spirit/Holy Spirit that spoke to him. Remember in the Old Testament, when God spoke through Moses and the prophets like Samuel, Isaiah and others? God’s Spirit/Holy Spirit has been there since the beginning. But after Christ Jesus’ sacrifice, we now can have the Holy Spirit dwell within us as the followers of Christ Jesus. Hope this helps a bit. I’m still a young Christian and not really good at explaining the Word but I hope it helped. Praying for you that the Holy Spirit will teach and reveal God will for you as you study His word. God bless you abundantly.

I have a question sir. When was the last time you took the ties and offerings that you receive and blessed one of your parishioners so that they could take a trip to ireland? Or so that they can pay a bill or maybe buy a car? You need to study the word of God deeper and find out what it is that you're supposed to be allocating with the finances that you receive shame on you
