Die to Self - Pastor Mark Gungor

[@mabeldurocher2258]

Hi Mark .. this was what was taught tonight in our gathering .. not enough depth … but more maybe revealed soon .. God we humble ourselves to receive from Heaven what is written in our books to bring Heaven to Earth …

[@mommad5905]

I have just recently came across Mark Gungor’s videos. It’s easier to understand the messages because they are explained in real life situations. God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏

[@CHAG1963]

I feel so blessed by God, I needed to find this so bad and I feel so blessed! He's so funny and honest too!!!

[@LaZarusXtnct]

I used to see him in person at Celebration church near me. He's really good at keeping the viewers attention and keeping you involved in what he's saying.

[@Christiaan956]

Love this! Love this Pastor:-) Blessings in Christ Jesus.

its hard for me to believe that yall are posting all these great messages for free, I thank God for Pastor Gungor and his ministry

[@ADekkers317]

A very powerful and blessed teaching! Amen!!

[@LillianKattelmann]

What a wonderful message!

[@luanrachel2202]

Thank you for this message

[@amostake]

I can't help but think that if I had something I was supposed to do, then He would have let me know by now. But every time that I have moved forward with something I thought He wanted me to do, it ended up being some of the most painful experiences of my life. Today, short of a direct message from heaven, since I don't know for sure, I'm not going to do it, whatever "it" is. There's only so many times you smash your hand with a hammer, before you figure out not to try using a hammer.

Dying to self is not the same as 'giving up on everything. - What you are describing is depression. Jesus came to bring us life and give us life more abundantly! Not hopelessness. I think you need to find out what God has called you to do, and do it - and the only way to do this is to get to know Him first and be open to what he is expecting you to do. And be patient but Never Ever give up!!

[@codyfeatherstone553]

Amen 🙌🙌🙌

How do you know where the line is? Sometimes, you need to "give up", but other times it's a test to see how deeply you can dig past your own fears and weaknesses to find your own strength, bravery, "faith", patience, and persistence--something that is often rewarded. For someone conditioned to never give up, and whose stubbornness to never give up has been rewarded greatly (with few exceptions), it's hard to know when to "die". Any guidance? Overall, though, thank you for this sermon. I'm going to reflect and will likely listen to this again. There have certainly been many times where I have needed to die, excruciatingly, and refusing to do so has resulted in worse coping skills and much emotional pain. Your message isn't one I've ever heard, or at least not in this manner. I both cried and laughed during this. It can also be hard to separate and define "what" needs to die. Upon becoming bedridden and disabled, for instance, I needed to "die"; however, I thought that not being able to sit up and go to work, to go out to events with friends (standing/sitting events), to travel, to commute, etc. meant I had to give up my career, ambition, independence, a social life, athletic career, and every other trait that made me me. In some senses, I did need to die: I wouldn't be able to do the things I used to, and my life would not be the way I had imagined and dreamed it. However, many of those things I needed to strive to keep alive and did not need to die. By changing my environment and a host of factors--something that was not easy to enact and took years to discover how to optimize my QOL--I am still able to be "me", to have an ambitious career, to have a social life, etc., but it looks different and is only possible in certain environments. I think this is often where and how people struggle with this--change is always hard (even as in one of your sermons, when that change is for the promise land!--because the life we'd originally envisioned still has to "die"), but also because we often confuse which 'parts' need to die. For instance, perhaps the woman with those long lists of expectations for her marriage needed to drop those expectations, but those expectations were how she "defined" love/connection and/or were the behaviours she associated a loving husband with. While her specific associations or expectations may have needed to die, her hope/expectation of a loving husband and fulfilling marriage did not. To her, initially at least, those were the same. Separating these, or knowing when/how those can be separated, can be so incredibly difficult.

I appreciate your profound comment, God bless you! I agree, his teachings are good but he simplifies life and although it is great to laugh AND learn in parallel it is too much simplified. But I live his boldness :-)

Though a little late there is a auto transcript made for this video, the button is near "About", go right and its next to "add to". Not very accurate, but it's useful when trying to reference a quote with the time it was said in the video.

[@detroitbaby161]

Isaac was over 30 at the time Abraham was asked to sacrifice him. He was not a boy and had to willingly consent to his 100 year old dad.

[@amostake]

Yes, I realize this. But... I have no dreams, and no ambition whatsoever. There nothing I wish to do or accomplish in life. So far, I've made 'that' happen lol

[@abominableangel]

this is what makes me sad .. when God told Abraham to sacrifice his own son I and every other parent would have told God NO WAY JACK!.can we honestly say that we fully trust God, i dont think we can, the idea of trusting in God 100% where we would go and do such a thing intrigues us, we like to think we could do it but in truth we couldnt, it makes me sad that i know i wouldnt be capable of doing it, thinking I knew better than God. even as i type this im saying to myself.. God are you crazy!

[@agronome28]

how can i get a subtitle for this video please help

[@jeshikain]

@chanBoss He has a whole channel.

[@amostake]

It's interesting, because I *think* I have died to self, but there's certainly no new life. I'm just like a walking dead man. I have no desires, no goals, no hopes (other than heaven), and I pretty much just wait for death now. I have to guess I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I have given up on everything.

[@hair2day]

This sounds like depression, Andrew. The bible says that the joy of the Lord is your strength. Striring up the gift that is in you by thanking Him for who he is to and in you,..and confessing to yourself and Him for who you are to Him, lest we forget, forgetting may be our problem,...stirring a pot of stew brings the bottom good stuff to the top and we realize what kind of stew it is. So it is with us,...hold fast to the confession of our faith. Sing who the word says we are, mutter it, think it, rise in the morning with His truth about us on our mind, it won't be long, tick, tick,tick,...light will dawn, the good stuff will rise to the top of the pot, and our brain and emotions will identify what "is",...."is". Try it, you'll like it.

[@colemanadamson5943]

Here is the problem with modern preachers......e.g. this gentleman said "Luke adds a word".....excuse me? Luke added nothing. They are God's words and they are perfectly preserved in the King James Bible. And really, when one has the perfect word(s) and rejects them in favor of a counterfeit, one is a fool. Wake up.

[@amostake]

I would guess. Oh well. Some win, some lose.

@@markgungor7013 In the name of Jesus Christ the Lord of world... If you are engaged in fraud and lies, may God strike you with misery and suffering. Do not engage in evil. God will hold you accountable.

[@MarkGungor]

That was a spammer posing as Mark Gungor. Not the real Mark. They have been removed from the channel and reported.

[@amostake]

@@MarkGungor Yeah, I'm the guy that emailed laugh your way to report them. I didn't want that faker giving shame to the name of G-d or your ministry. Trolls trolls everywhere, and not enough Troll-spray to kill them off...
