[@malqinwinn1803]

Real facts💯🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@Pr3ttyyLuhhMayaa]

So true

[@TheAntManChannel]

It's not about religion, it's about a relationship with the One true and Holy God of the universe who came to Earth to die for our sins. What an awesome God we serve.

[@Jramezzy23]

I love this... it brings tears to my eyes...reminds me of my own testimony

[@carstuff1213]

Why does god need you to serve him? Is he on an ego trip or something? "Hi im god. I created humans to love me and if they dont love me and follow my rules for the 70-100 years on this earth im going to send them to hell FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND..." - This god sounds like a little immature brat Hahaha. O whats even funnier is knowing how many christians are going to read this thinking the devil or something it talking through. I was raised in the church. Luckily what ever god is out their provided me with a brain big enough to wake up and realize that no truly loving being, who grants people free will, would allow said people to end up in hell for ETERNITY for not following his 10 commandments and believing his son died for them.

[@crazygirllulu1234]

Andre Messado God gave us a mind of our own but let us know right from wrong so it is our own decision to go to Hell. He saddens him when people make this decision for themselves but know that the only reason people go to hell is because they knew what was right but decided not to do it.

[@KelsShavon55]

D. Will Sis that is a good analogy. Learn something new daily! God bless you sis!

[@TheAntManChannel]

Andre Messado Well, you obviously don't understand His sovereignty.

[@thepoptropicashow]

[@burgersbiblesaeh849]

Lecrae has come such a long way. 9 years ago this came out?! He's so different now. In a good way I believe.

[@jailenbailey]

So motivational. Lecrae is such a great guy!

[@haydenpatton4461]

That proves that people can come off the streets and turn there life around no Matter what happend in the past

[@rrma2003]

At 5:56 Lecrae says "Jesus lived the life I could not live, and died the death I should have died." This made me think of the verse 2 Corinthians 5:21 "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Jesus traded His life for ours. He took on our sin and died. Because He and He alone lived a righteous life, He then gave us His righteousness, so that we could live. Thank you Lecrae for your testimony. May God richly bless you, as you humble yourself and witness for Him, to let His light shine through you and bring His life to others, who need Him so much (just as you and I need Him so much).

[@jaimegh1980]

Amen to that !

[@karenlock7222]

Respect this man...after seeing him perform at Kingdom Bound, Darien Lake..... the sound kept cutting out. The way he handled this, with love, acceptance. "This is the reality of life" attitude. It IS what it is. He didn't become angry. Instead, he laughed, talked to us, the audience.... and began sharing his story with thousands of fans.

[@aimz-welhawrt4871]

[@judithkrishnan9778]

My son is living a life that God took from you and healed you of. He's 23 years old, gangbanging, doing drugs and drinking. He was raised in church but things happened to him that he is so angry at life and God. Please pray for my son Andrew. This testimony gave me hope.

[@billygraham]

We are sorry to hear about what your son, Andrew, is going through. We are happy to pray he can find freedom from this lifestyle. God offers him strength, hope and encouragement for the journey. Know that God is not afraid of his anger. “For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust” (Psalm 103:14). This understanding is why those who wrote the Psalms were able to open up to God about their anger, their sorrow and their confusion. They may not have understood what God was doing at times, but they knew that they could trust Him with their feelings. In the same way, we encourage your son to address his questions to God in prayer. God may not give him direct answers to his questions, but in prayer he can be reminded that God “will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). God is with him in all times, and the salvation we have been offered in Jesus Christ gives us true hope in all circumstances. If your son has never repented of his sins and accepted the salvation God offers through Jesus Christ, we encourage him to visit PeaceWithGod.net/. A saving relationship with Jesus Christ gives us “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7), and this means that God can transform anger and confusion with God’s peace. We also encourage you to call the BGEA 24/7 Prayer Line at 855-255-PRAY or send a private message to our online coaches at m.me/PeaceWithGod to pray about this with someone in our ministry. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope” (Romans 15:13). -BGEA Team

Wow. To see what God can do! Lecrae was some punk teenage kid practically nobody cared about. The world gave him no second thoughts, if even that. Now tens of thousands of people will gather from all around to one place - just to see him. He gave God his life. And God gave him everything - made him famous in the eyes of the world, wealth, wisdom, a beautiful wife and three kids, and even more blessings than he can count. Really puts a far-reaching scope on the meaning of Matthew 6:33
