I never realized how toxic the “be happy” or “you only live once” lifestyle was until I came to know the Lord.. such a trap. I spent many years living that way and it all leads to heartbreak and depression. I’m loving Ecclesiastes ❤️

[@donnanellius8279]

I am so thankful for Pastor Paul's practical application teaching style, I share many of these messages with my unsaved friends and family! Blessings and many thanks Pastor Paul 😇🥰

[@craigacook8360]

I love his teaching

[@wayneshirley9536]

Pastor Paul's teaching is a blessing to any ears who hear it. I wish EVERYONE could hear PP explain the Bible! I have been edified, uplifted and upheld ever since I found PP's teaching.

[@BeckeyGirard]

It never ceases to amaze me how God works and gives me answers to the questions I have for problems I'm having in real time listening to Pastor Pauls teachings. Go Jesus! AMEN

God spoke to me again.When i heard the 1 and 2 chapter trust me i was facing sadness and heard these 2 chapter i was just cryig i felt everything is meaning why am i even living Now this chapter says people wants to be happy will end up sad.They act more powerful than me but i have true living God, but they dont care about God. Life is hard

[@mlady8137]

Im at a very trying and hard time in life full of depression and confusion because of an illness i have but also things i have seen and think. I was led to this book i dont know why. You would think that this book which has been called the most depressing book in the bible would not be ideal for me right now. However its actually given me reassurance that life is found in God alone and not in this life but the one to come and building your life on anything other than God is truly depressing. Thank you for the encouraging words at the end.

[@kipchumbabrian2002]

This is wonderful you've made me re arrange my perspective about my life. Biggest lesson is JESUS is the price, living above the sun. Be blessed

[@normabenito3378]

Thank you Pastor for your life. I've learned a lot about your preaching. God bless you beyond measure!

[@JustKidz365]

Thank you !! I was feeling soo sad because I read it and didn’t understand I felt Soo sad ! But Now with this explanation I know that is not meant for me❤️ I am living with Above the Sun with Jesus our Savior ❤️❤️ We have hope !!!! Prayers can move mountains ❤️❤️❤️

[@claudiawynn494]

This message was life for me

[@tylagarcia4091]

When I was younger I made a good amount of money and was very popular mainly with family as I got older I started making changes and now I make less money and do more than I did in the past simply because I’m not as popular as I used to be my life is much more peaceful I thank God for removing many people from my life including family at first I was feeling hurt and abandoned but knowing now it was all God’s plan for me I am grateful for it ALL!!! THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR EVERYTHING 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾

[@markmooney5662]

I can only echo the comments below...many thanks for this very necessary teaching. Christian love to all Gilly wife of Mark in Norfolk UK.

[@antoniosiracusa3973]

Thank you Pastor Paul LeBoutillier. God bless.

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

This is such a blessing! Thank you for the help with this part in the bible 💕 God bless you Pastor Paul!

[@susuCindy]

If a person only thinks about and taking care of the desires of the flesh all day, for example eating, drinking, having fun,, then he is not different from a pig. Because his spirit is dead and his spirit eyes are closed. Money, food is only for flesh, not for spirit. If a person is alive only in terms of flesh, he is dead in God's sight. A person without a spirit will not be happy no matter how wealthy he is or how powerful he is on earth. God's Word is food for spirit. This world is not my home, I am just a traveler temporarily staying on earth. I don't care what I eat or drink while I am travelling, I don't bother with buying a house while I am travelling. I choose to live a simple life while I am travelling because I only pay attention to my destination -- Heaven.

[@talhahshahid9191]

This comment is beautiful. Thank you!

[@fightlikeaboxer]

I agree, I know some of my friends who say how “happy” or “living there truth” or “yolo” and how much they push that, but in the same picture that they post, you see how sad and unhappy they are...all this is hitting the nail on the head! We see so much vanity on FB, Instagram, Pinterest, And yep KZbin. 🤯 it all ties together. Thank you ❤️❤️.

[@neershneenaidoo8445]

Powerful ❤thank you Pastor Paul

[@mr.truffles9294]

God gave it and nothing can be taken from him Amen

[@joycejasmine7747]

Today 4/28/2020 as I’m reading through Ecclesiastics 3:5, I never knew what it really meant during this pandemic (a time to regain from embracing) Lots of love from Minnesota

[@maryleo9595]

Amen🙏God bless Pastor Paul!♥️✝️

[@thevictoriaabia]

No one has ever explained it like this to me. Thank God for His revelation. Thank you sir for sharing.

[@maryleo9595]

Amen indeed ♥️🙏✝️

[@aprilharvey2335]

Amen

[@Gloriagal78]

May I just say that the timing of this message was very uncanny-for me, at least. I was just talking with my son no more than thirty minutes ago concerning our storage unit. We're going to close our account and donate most of its contents, considering we don't even know half of what's in there. I don't even want to think how much money we could have saved if we had just been more responsible with our belongings to begin with. I love your conclusion at the end. Amen. I would rather be living my life under the Son.

[@lindeyoeono5403]

I am working on the same thing. I have to repent for collecting so many things.

[@IrenemueniMutei-wq9jb]

The bridge of life is the time

[@lbfaith]

If blessed means happy then why can’t we be happy. Unless it’s not interchangeable but then we’ll need to be blessed by God. I get there is a difference. And I would rather be happy with the things of the light than sin to be happy

[@Gloriagal78]

"Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord." (Psalm 144:15)

[@lbfaith]

Gloria 78 Can you elaborate?

[@Gloriagal78]

LbFaith Figueroa Lol, I just realized that I forgot to put PSALM 144, verse 15. From what this psalm implies, those who trust in the salvation, provision, protection and deliverance of the Lord will indeed be happy. Again, sorry for the confusion. I went ahead and added the full scriptural reference to my original comment.

[@lolo54260]

our Lord brings us joy! Amen thank you Jesus

[@danielpickering8814]

Our principal pursuit should not be for happiness and comfortable circumstances but there is nothing wrong with being happy. If you had children you'd want them to be happy but your primary role is to protect them and raise them rightly, God's primary concern is with our sanctification and salvation. As a result of these things and knowing that the Lord loves us personally how could we not be happy and filled with joy? But the pursuit of worldly happiness leads to destruction. Galatians 6:7-9 might help you

[@sunnybajoras4364]

An earnest heart is more important than lengthy words when we pray. Otherwise we are preaching.

[@voiceofzion1326]

Hoarding is not mental illness, it's a demon of gluttony destroying their lives. They need deliverance.

[@victorianu]

Pastor, what should I do? I’m shock! I’m speechless

[@titabell360]

Who is to blame? The aging baby boomers.?

[@jimmyberry4451]

No one its just how " life under the sun" is, its the result of living a life without god

[@helenjorgenson2271]

)it is amazing that at such a time as this, I should get acquainted with Utube and Pastor Paul and Mrs G. I am not comfortable with this technology. However, after 88 years I have finally found people who are excellent teachers and I am learning in depth things that have escaped me all these years. Praise the Lord for He is good!

[@angelacrosswhite5767]

Me too! It’s wonderful!!!

[@lidijastajsic2428]

Thank you Pastor Paul! Blessings from Serbia! Thank you for studying the book of Ecclesiastes.

[@paulynkimathi4073]

Thank you so much. I love your teaching.. be blessed in abundance.

[@luciannawilliams6572]

Wonderful

[@jangorski4181]

There are many historians who claim that the style and context of Ecclesiases indicate that Salomon is not the author of this Book. Anyway, thank You very much for Your teachings Pastor.

[@titabell360]

Thanks you for your knowledge and wisdom

[@christinesun2252]

why are people eventually gona hate the young poorly born King? I didn't get that part. ..

[@darrendodd3646]

Was he saying that the young king would eventually grow up and be an old king ( with the same attitude)?

[@sherylmorgan1286]

Amen 🙏

[@melissagrow8712]

Thanks pastor

[@iversun323]

its funny because the neighbor with the gun and reason to shoot is the one that is usually directed by God. So who is the bad neighbor? Just be happy with what you do and stop trying to change the world. Be one with nothing.

[@testimoniesofhope8956]

I adore Pastor Paul’s teaching however I completely disagree with the pet part. I have no doubt that our pets will be in heaven. I believe all the baby lambs that were sacrificed will be in heaven too. God gave us pets to show his perfect love. I love love love Pastor Paul so much. His teachings have blessed me so much.

There is a time to wear a mask (spray painting ) and a time not to wear a mask. Quit covering your faces America.
