When someone is influenced by people of God and the Bible it really shows. You can the shine in their eyes, their kindness and compassion and just how lively their souls are. Some of my seniors in HS stare people like they are dying on the inside you know . Really grateful for all Jesus has done for me, for taking my sins as his own and changing me from the inside.

I started school about a week ago after moving to an entirely different country. I found it hard to share the gospel at my old school and just felt I wasn't capable of doing it. so when I moved I finally thought I had another opportunity to share the Gospel and be true to who I was in Christ. but it hasn't been easy. not a single time have I brought it up and everytime I beat myself up about it. I tried reading multiple devotions but once I finished them I felt like I had no guidance. God's been telling me to actually read scripture during those times but I haven't been listening. I realise now that through scripture I can get the guidance and ability I need to do what He wants me to do. thank you so much Alex and Lokelani for all that you do. words cannot describe how much I appreciate how God has helped me through your podcasts and I hope that He continues to work through you. congratulations on baby Luke as well🥰, God bless you

I can relate alot to what you said. I also moved schools because we got a new place, at first I was very excited....getting new friends(genuine friends), the idea that I can be myself and live for Christ truly, and tell others about Him. But when in the school things weren't as I thought. I found myself blending in with the rest of the people in fear on being alone and I started seek attention from people or caring more on what ppl think about me. This is something I struggle with and lately God has humbled me to examine my Faith if it's really genuine, and lately I've been reading 1John and I've been convicted. I want to live boldly for God and in obedience/love but I haven't been, I'm reminded I can't do that alone(apart from Him we can't produce fruit). I'm glad that there's someone going through the same thing and I can relate, I'll keep you in prayer also(confess our sins to one another n pray for one another.)

Thank you for this dear brother/sister here and for their prayer request. Father, the very fact that they do not want to remain in this lukewarm state and that they are asking for Your help, I pray very hard that You may guide them to grow in You, standing steadfast in Your ways. Falling in deep, genuine love with You, dear Jesus, experiencing your goodness day-to-day. As Your Word says, if we ask anything in Your name- in Your will, You will do. John 14:13-17,"And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments." And dear Father, we know that it is in Your perfect will that none of your children are in that lukewarm state, but rather, that they stand firm in You. As it is our decision on whether or not we chose to follow You wholeheartedly, I thank you for this dear brother/sister's desire for a change and a more intimate relationship with You. Please help to guide them in every day life, giving them the strength to grow in You and spend more time with You, in Your Word and in genuine prayer, to where they eventually desire You more than anything else. We praise Your Holy Name, Lord, and thank You for hearing our prayers. Blessed are You forever and ever, amen. ✝️ I am sending a lot of love to you and I will continue to pray for you.

Anyways, my amen is staying in prayer practicing the sabbath weekly(every Saturday or Sunday if not Saturday) to try and get and stay refocused on GOD while resting up and recharging for the week. But it’s quite interesting as I gotta keep discernment to cut through the lies that try to subtly slip their way into my life. Also I think that helps keep me from backsliding, and so since I’ve backslidden recently it’s rather important for me to get back on the schedule. 😅

God still performs miracles, You don’t NEED to speak in tongues to be saved, it isn’t a salvation issue but it is biblical to speak in tongues and personally speaking i think everyone should WANT the gifts of the spirit although not everyone will receive them because they seek not the gifts of the spirit. But i do believe that miracles are for today and everyone should want to experience the power of God although not everyone will and that’s okay because gifts of the spirit doesn’t determine heaven or hell.

Repent of your sins and believe on the Adon Jesus the Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and you shall receive the Holy Spirit of God and He shall dwell within you. You shall be saved. Be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! - Jesus the Christ loves you, praise YHWH our Elohim - Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it): The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ. Amen!!!
