Daily Bible Reading - Ephesians 4

[@jeffkenway8919]

My wife and I are recovering from a really bad fight that happened Monday on our daughter's first birthday. Things are looking good for now but any additional prayers for my family for guidance from my anger is always appreciated.

[@GodChangeMeBetter4HisKingdom]

Since following God he has given me peace and let me know that he is in control and not me. He is given me the strength to remember his scripture and use them everyday. Iam so thankful

When I was a child people would often mention how kind hearted I was, I was very sympathetic for others, never resorted to violence or hurting back. Never really held any grudges, was always very respectful but as I started growing older I became bitter, disrespectful, filled with some sort of resentment towards my parents, violence was something the only thing I wanted to resort to, I was sad and lust had taken over my view of women. After I came back to god and gave my life to him, all of those qualities I had as a child all seemed to return back, not only that but that same joy I had as a child returned. I now am quick and happy to forgive as I am also quick to ask for forgiveness when I have done something wrong. I am empathetic for everyone even those who have hurt me and try and share the love of Christ through my actions to those around me. The lord has transformed me back and I am now happier than ever, thankful for my job and all the blessings that I have received my whole life. Thank you Lord for you had mercy on me, someone who blasphemed your name, rejected you and walked on a path of death. But now am now renewed by the blood of Jesus Christ, thank you

I see God working when I hear the holy spirit convections. When I no longer am interested in doing things I used to do. When I remember Bible verses and apply them to my life and see the possibilities elevate my mind. I thrist for more and more knowledge and cannot get enough of Reading God's word 🙏 I have never been happier just knowing God is always with me. Thank you for sharing God's word. Fantastic videos.

[@louiseelaine246]

For the past years walking with God, I have grown so much in many aspects. God gave me renewed mind. He gave me new directions in life. He gave me a new heart that is compassionate and ready for service. I love how God change what I thought was unchangeable. I am still having difficulty in being gentle. As my old self is full of hatred and built walls, I always made sure no one see my weakness. I know by God's grace I will take hold of this. It is a process and I trust God's timing and will.

I'm so happy that you continue to grow in your faith:))

I really appreciated the challenge today and so I wanted to comment. I thought that something the Lord has really truly challenged me with was pursuing Christ ultimately. I feel as a 28 year old youth pastor that it's really hard being single and not married. I've really been challenged and God has ultimately shown up and showed me that I have a heavenly father that gives me peace in a time of singleness and joy that I can serve him instead of pursuing my idolatry of relationships. While those relationships aren't sin or evil, the time that i revel and the time i can spend with them can and were. This is how God is personally moving in my life. I also think that God can help me in my struggles with loneliness, continuing in my prayer life, and accountability is always a huge help with it all!

[@jaredmurray6276]

Thank you for sharing that Kerris! We are praying for you.

[@michaelhardlotte8191]

Thank you for sharing i read your commmented 2yrs ago, prayed for u just now. 🙏

[@misskingschild3670]

Wow so powerful. How are you doing today? Yes Jesus is with you and it means so much you’re leading a generation following Jesus! I understand it’s not easy but I feel like this could also be a great chance because when we tell young people “You don’t need a spouse to be complete, the most important relationship is with Jesus Christ” I think there also need to be role models that are actually living this out. Even though it’s not easy and I would like to encourage you to be open with the boys and girls about these struggles because some of them surely might feel this way too. In my experience very important in leading others is being honest and vulnerable (without exposing everything, there’s other spaces for) because this might give others hope and trust to tell us their own personal feelings and struggles so that we can help them and pray for them by scripture. Thanks for sharing this here! And btw even being married we can be lonely from time to time and it’s always gonna be just Jesus who can truly fill and heal our heart. God bless you brother! One question (if you are willing to answer): How do you think does a “good” Christian (youth group) leader look like? I also kinda do it voluntarily in the church I grew up in and one day I might even do it for my job. But to be honest it can be so hard, I don’t really know how to preach the truth boldly and still love them or especially SHOW them my/God’s love, especially during COVID where we just meet per Skype. It must be said I’m not in it wholeheartedly to be honest, we basically do it because there’s no one else leading them, which is not the best motivation I know... Also my church is not bad but there is no real power of the Holy Spirit and it kinda seems like if I talked about lukewarm Christianity I’d offend everyone because they certainly define themselves as true Christians... Maybe it’s just fear of men that I need to let go in order to serve God but I want to lead them to Christ not lose them all you know? Wow this was a long text. I would really appreciate an answer, I’m still very young, still figuring it out/learning every day what it means to follow Christ and I hope God uses me in his kingdom more and more. Thanks for your patience in reading this. God bless you and he will fulfill your works in the Lord Jesus Christ!

[@xzavierdean7822]

i guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?

[@babscoker4178]

God makes all things beautiful in His time and He'll surely perfect everything that concerns You.

[@ruthieeeeeeeeeekk]

I like the challenge at the end to think about both where we are growing and where we still struggle. Growing: I’ve grown so much as far as where my heart is with God. He’s changed the direction of my desires toward seeking his will for my life and wanting to share his love with others through the way that I live, rather than selfishly living to fill up the holes of my own insecurities. Struggles: I struggle with honesty when I’ve done something wrong -it always takes so much willpower to admit to having messed up, and admitting that whether at work or in my personal life I’ve made mistakes. I think I heavily link my own value to my actions way too much, and I feel as if I am less when I’ve made a mistake, and therefore want to hide it. Which isn’t good. Good stuff today.

[@liha810]

Thank you for making this study ! Watching 1 year into the Pandemic. Please, if you can, please continue making these videos. They are very much a needed treasure.

[@moradmoses3779]

May God bless you and bless all the good people in this world in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏

[@joanb4282]

I know I am a work in progress but I do know God , I am grateful for all you have helped make better in me. Loving more people I dont know. Compassion, speaking truth and stopping myself before a white lie would sneak out. I feel happy when o say the truth. My eyes are opened to see so much beauty in people and the world God created

[@deborahthompson5041]

God is working in my life letting me know he is protecting me reminding me to be still and not to worry about the issues I am confronting. I thank God for always giving me real peace beyond all understanding 🙏 🙌 thank you for spreading this wonderful chapter of ephesians.

[@issaleigh580]

Im reading this this quarantine and i hope ill get better everyday to understand it , thank u im loving this community😙

[@darleneullah8201]

Thank you Jesus

[@deborahthompson5041]

I have been asking god for someone to come into my life to have bible study with. I know he will send someone in his own time. I will wait on him. I have been meeting people more like myself. They love God and enjoy fellowshiping. He answered my prayers. He is so good to me. I am enjoying my walk with God.

[@Silversiren-d1b]

This is a good message, and I struggle with being a light to those in darkness.

[@Stebnitzbuilders]

Great "challenge" today, Jared. This goes right along with Fr Oriol's Homily this Saturday to stop judging and gossip. Instead, when someone tells you they're struggling with someone else, ask "Have you told them that?" Helping that person and reminding ourselves that to pass along a story may help release tension we feel about a situation/ person, but it doesn't fix it. It often times makes it worse. Confronting our issues, in a loving manner, is the better path to resolution and happiness. Thanks for the read today, Jared. Chris

[@jaredmurray6276]

Thanks for sharing Chris. Does Fr Oriol record his Homilies? I'd love to check it out.

[@Stebnitzbuilders]

That's a great question. While I don't think the Homily is recorded (I will find out) I'm sure it's available for viewing. Let me do a little digging. Fr. Oriol is from Barcelona, Spain. Great guy with a great accent and delivery. I'll let you know what I find.

[@Stebnitzbuilders]

He does not at this time. Although, I am working on it. .. :)

[@danaheine4642]

My cousin and I have started studying Ephesians. Thank you for this bible study, you use God’s word in terms we all can relate to. I’m one who is easy to forgive, it’s the letting go and forgetting that I struggle with. I pray for guidance and understanding of the situation I’m going through.

[@cindyericks]

Thank you for a good Word and in due season for me. It reinforces and helps with being more like Christ. Bless you and your ministry.

[@thefelixranch1615]

[@jeovanniquinones6926]

At the moment I’m struggling with anger and hate I want to let that go and show kindness instead of anger and spread love instead of hate

[@Ed100McNeal]

Thank you for the message and the encouragement.

[@idakuruma2044]

Hello! 🙂 I took on the challenge on my own and then ended up calling a friend to pray with me where am struggling. I really enjoyed this episode and I miss seeing videos from branch together. Hope you come back soon with more teachings because they are very good, helpful and practical. Thank you and God bless you!❤❤❤❤

[@1milebehind]

Overtime I got better at moving on from the idols I have worshipped against God, and the sinful passions I had (videogames, drawing, friendship, sexual sin) and walking away from that and trying to seek Jesus, BUT my struggle is that Im still in the process of demon deliverance and I'm not baptised by the Holy Spirit and fire yet, which blocks me to please God. I feel like its natural since im not baptised, but a struggle I have because of that is not being bold for Christ. Its sooo hard for me to praise God loudly and boast and share about Him to other people, when I do that when my parents are with me or if I'm alone. But something that I think Holy Spirit gave in my heart is for me to stop beating myself up because I'm not perfect enough for God, (impossible to be perfect obviously but another big struggle is that I self condemn myself, its starting to improve though) He knows I'm sinning by my flesh but NOT BY MY HEART. My heart doesnt want to be unbold so badly, but I do it anyway because I'm flesh and not baptised yet with Holy Spirit. but God says wait, The baptism coming soon!! Hurray!!! But I want Him to baptise me with His Spirit now so I can have His strength to control myself submitting to the flesh and submitting to God Himself. But thats my heart desire, He also put in my heart that He focuses on the heart and not my flesh. He finds my heart as a main, but my flesh as a functionality. We can be baptised with the Holy Spirit and have a good heart but our flesh is STILL are functionality, because we're men born from a mothers womb. Thank you Lord!!! Help me be bold for you even if people think I'm some crazy christian girl. I want to love you more than I do now and please strengthen me Holy Spirit! For I cant be bold for you with my own strength, but only by Yours Abba!!!

[@williejefferson7825]

Good morning''i've see myself growing in a couple of things..but' i'm still having problems focusing as i read,and i'm trying to stop smoking and i play the lottery.. instead of trusting the lord. for what i need..it's got to get better.i feel bad because of my flesh,i will continue to pray until my flesh dies pray my strenght in the lord...

The part I have experienced growth is overcoming addiction to pornography and masterbation. Glory be to God

[@MrRubberduck645]

Congratulations. I truly mean that. I feel like even a lot of believers don't understand the weight and burden that is carried with those struggles. That's something I cannot say but good for you and keep it up.

[@christophergraham417]

[@buynow17]

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

[@boyonbass]

I do things w non believers. I set out to be the example but then bc I usually start it off, I become not who I wanna be, but wut I dont wanna be. I was class cut up In high school and instead up being gentle around my friends, I wil start off being the joker and using course language. I wil never use the Lords name in vein, but jokes w bad language or movie lines from my former life...it makes me look selfish, wanting the praise(of) instead of the Lord being the hero
