[@M3rmaidsUnd3rTheSea]

Love this poem I'm still a virgin &proud ...saving myself for my husband!(: even though I'm only 17 it gets hard sometimes because the guys always break up with me ,but its all worth just make me know even more they only wanted my body &looks but the men that waits for me will not only want my body but my soul too!(:

[@trohkon7]

I cried literally when i saw this because this is the type of man im attempting to become.

[@delisilemashabane1970]

I still bless the day my cousin introduced me to this piece. Changed my life in ways i cannot explain.

[@tonycruise]

i heard this a while back 3 years ago but i wasnt christian, i was just a believer of god but i was worshipping false gods....but i knew this m ade sense, and now i am christian and i see that god has been showing me signs all this time

[@feeharris119]

I love it. ... if more men step up and realize who they are and the power they have, then we wouldn't loose our young men to the streets.

[@Darrellw1985]

I am 27yrs old and I can say I'm still a child trying find his way. Unfortunately I have lost/ hurt many along the way, and I hope now that I realize my wrongs that I may be guided in the right direction. Not to be the perfect man but to be the man I was meant to truly be.

[@malcolmosburne7266]

I have been changed. This struck me so deep, I am a better person after this. And I will strive to be a better man.

[@djtaedbear]

WHEN I BECAME A MADE. GOD GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO LIVE WITH OUT THE PAIN.....NO DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST POEMS THAT I HAVE EVER READ!!!!

[@tonyolmoz]

This is pure fire! God just used this mans spoken word to speak to me and to inspire me. Glory be to God !

[@Amionwi]

I wish more little boys could grow up to be this kind of man =( This kind of unafraid strength and unwavering knowledge of purpose is like water to the thirsty woman =) All guys take heed! We need men, not boys- love this video, sir!

[@juicybacon12]

I always find myself returning to this video, this piece. What it means to be a man. Sending you love. And thank you.

[@williettagombeh8804]

[@sheerluckholmes7720]

Hahaa ........he's rebuilding the Church - God's Word Architect !!!!

[@kourtney8850]

" I want Him to be my Father, and my Father In Law, since that's His daughter"....... Beautiful 😪

[@iamawuss]

"I've discovered, that there are medicinal qualities down the corridor of introspection." Best line of this spoken word piece.

[@samueltabat7661]

IF I KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS, THEN IT WILL BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.........BEST PIECE EVER

[@mimgreene]

when i became a man i learned how to love God back...... Love it!

[@EmekaOnyike]

This is wonderful. I am a perfect example of someone whose life was transformed 'when I became a man'.

[@Inf7cted]

When a man can say he is a man for the first time - its so amazing! To stand tall like a man and smile like a man and love like a man. being a man of God is what men are made from.

[@yolandabooker2995]

Phil Allen,this was amazing in unbelief!i keep playing this over and over again!i am not a man but I do raise two boys on my own and with the grace of god they will soon be men!i have so much to say to you but to sum it up,Thank you for that!from me, my sisters and my brothers,thank you!

[@dnreyn7]

Beautiful. God bless the men who are not afraid to stand for Jesus despite what the world thinks...just as Christ lived....WE are to be a peculiar people. Praise the Lord!

[@hellosylvs]

I just never get enough of this video, each time that I watch it, I get goosebumps all over my body and tears in my eyes. I hope that one day, every single man will get to watch and be touched by this message. God is always doing great things.

[@dadisthekingofkings]

Hallelujah!!! Great Man of God!

[@xvivaxlaxashleyx]

This is a man of integrity. He takes responsibility for his wrongs even though he wasn't taught any better, and he admits he is not perfect, and that he needs God. Love him!

[@chrishernandez9277]

“I learned to respect her like Jesus’s mother”... that line alone taught me everything I need to know about how to treat a woman

[@Annasmith1120]

I absolutely LOVE this! I love seeing a name who proclaims the without God, he wasn't perfect. And I love when he talks about the woman! This is how every man should feel. :)

[@Leonmr22]

This just helped me think more about my situation.

[@CarlosStephenPR]

Amen!!! Thanks for reminding I'm a man. All Glory be to God

[@TiggercullenIsACat]

I'm crying to this. The feelings the way he spoke his words so real and so genuine.

[@star23j]

It's beautiful to see a man who is courageous enough to stand transparent to the world --unafraid to tell of past pains, hurts, and failures while pointing out the only way to peace, wholeness, and life (the Son of God, Jesus Christ) May God continue to bless you and your ministry.

[@4oevls891]

Gives me chills every single time. God Bless You All.

[@raulnsherah]

Beautiful!!! And may that glory go to God.

[@Feejakka]

Pick up the gospel. Pick up the GOSPEL and put the toys away.

[@Tyourshoes]

This speech makes me think of all the things I can do in life. How I can live above the standards as a fifteen year old.

[@kinglos5606]

This is real good and can inspire people to become an real man and not a fake one

[@sudak5]

[@attyamlegal]

This is just too beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration. Will definitely be doing something like this soon. Time to really put the games away, and pick up the gospel.

[@swimminglikeaquaman]

I'm an atheist but this poems beautiful =]. The way he rhymes the words and makes them sound as if he were singing. Describes his tribulations and triumphs. Great poem!

[@MrQualityTime]

This is a very emotionally inspiring thought provoking piece.

[@sheerluckholmes7720]

[@Jamesandcheraylucas]

Very inspiring, I receive this message, Amen!

[@TheLongTimeObserver]

Beautifully sewn, a seed into our hearts. I fail. I am unworthy but I never give up and God has never given up on me. This shines brightly on one of the biggest problems of today.We are distracted in all of the toys that we have taken from children.

[@Matt-fu6ke]

Inspirational words, clear you work hard mentally and have great knowledge and physically also, in very good shape, a great role model sir, keep it up

[@RJpsyco009]

I'm doing my best to watch this at least every week. So awesome. Pick up the Gospel. My favorite part!

[@renaissauceman]

This world needs more men of God like this.

[@benjaminashfaq]

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 Amen.

[@picisa]

made me say . oh sweet to find a man whom humbles himself and speaks out and is not ashamed of the word. thank you dearly!!!!!!!

[@MrPekimu]

when I became a man I learned to love God right back..... I love to Cry beecause I am not ashamed of it....... Learned to love her my Esther, my Ruth

[@marylipscomb2000]

GOD knew I needed to hear this! AMEN! What a beautiful witness for Jesus this man is!

[@Rinyotsu]

I'm glad you found a better life in Christianity. I was starting to myself, until I read the bible and found out how much more mature I am to the god described in the bible by simply caring about my fellow people, regardless how they treat me. I personally don't believe there is a god, but I hold a belief that if I'm wrong, the god that exists is better than me, and thus, better than the god of the bible.

[@mm4eg]

BEAUTIFUL!!! MY LORD HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[@shawngodwin7123]

This really is the story of my life. This is my inspiration of my journey to becoming a man. My journey of breaking the chains of my sinful, childish ways, and transforming into the man of God that He created me to be.

[@BGirlSkirtao]

Im sitting here weeping..i have to chose between two paths...one that leads to a man I care for across countrt..who's destructive to my love for Jesus..but oh...is he tempting..than I have an option to just be still...my same old life..to stay..this video made me realize I want a man...not a boy.a Godly man..thank you for this..

[@reluctantslave]

Right On! Where do I find such a Man? What a rare gem in today's society!

[@TimKingRepublic]

Only thing I can say is Amazing. This has truly inspired me.

[@traeindustries]

In a world where the "ART" of poetry is lost, you have found the rabbits trail home my friend. Keep moving forward.

[@10723magn]

This is awesome! Strong, yet transparent.Thank you for allowing God to use you to bless others.

[@HealthnHoop]

Thank you brotha who spoke these words. Thank you for picking up the gospel and opening ur mouth to speak the very utterances of the Spirit. Thank you in a time where many women are hurt and discouraged at the lack of men willing to pick up the gospel in the way they relate to them. Men willing to kill their pride and sacrifice their very life to love and honor and cherish their sister, their own sister! Thank you for the reminder that God has to move on the heart of a man so he can hear.

[@ulyssesv101]

I showed this to the teen boys in my youth and it sparked incredible conversations, thank you for these powerful words.

[@peter-alanalchin1025]

Thanks I am speechless You know what I love about being a man and believing in Jesus Christ that secretly all men want this. I get hit over and over again by this worlds temptations,Lust,Lies when they can't break your Spirit they tempt you with there friendships they just hate it when you don't fall. They hate it if you say No while they all wish in there hearts that they to would have the guts to stand up and be counted.

[@ladyk2love238]

If there's one piece i never get tired of listening to...it's this one! "through my praise I'll self-publish a testimony"...blessed be the name of our Lord Jesus for giving Phil such a gift, the man who picked up the gospel and threw the toys away! WORD WORD WORD UP

[@Darlington22228]

"through my praise, I'll self publish a testimony" fav. line

[@timothycayem]

No way? Phil Allen speaks at my church on a regular basis. I had no idea he did youtube stuff. This is great! Such a great pastor. He has made some of the best points in the bible that I have ever heard.

[@geraldjohnson848]

June 18th: Happy Father's Day. Phil Allen Jr. Outstanding! "If a man happens to find himself, he has a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life."-James Michener. Thanks for the upload. Continued success and blessings.

[@4everelman]

I'm Muslim, but we are all brothers of mankind and God will bless us all. I cried during this video, I remember each one of your memories... thank you so much I feel refreshed

[@sheilawilliams1718]

Yo!!!! That poem was is testament and evidence that I shall NEVER give up on BLACK MEN!

[@boswetens]

"Nor did Pixar have a film to show me what God's man really looked like." this is so inspiring and amazing. I love spoken word poems

[@gugulethumakhari8785]

I love this poem so much, touches me deep in my soul. Wow!

[@dewaynethomas8831]

Couldn't of said it better, simply beautiful.

[@MsLollipop79]

PEACE, AND BLESSINGS BEAUTIFULLY SAID

[@kisstoffeikr]

my classmate did this for his poetryslam in our class he really got my attetion....he said he was reflecting it to his family.....nd i literally cried

[@mszleslie1671]

When I became a man I learned how to love God back...wooooow!!!!!!!!!!

[@wuckingfonderful]

No problem; it is my pleasure to answer questions, even ones that are difficult to think about. There are many who know much more than me (i just turned 20). I hope to present my faith by following the Bible's command to "test all things". It is wonderful to learn about what others think, because I can listen to others without compromising the core of my faith. Religion you can study from a scientific perspective, but spirituality you cannot. God can neither be proved to exist or not to exist.

[@segunaladekoba]

from 3.46 to 4.10 hit me hard...well done...very well done....I pray to say these words with conviction and vigor...when I become a man

[@Drocksas]

This video has put a lot into perspective for me. Normally I'd try to post something witty or attempt to crack a joke, but this... this deserves more respect than that. This man truly is a man. And he's shown me I've got a LONG way to go if I'm going to call myself a true follower of Christ. That's all I can say

[@noncibird]

Awesome! ..'So God could be my Father and my Father in law, because she is His Daughter' love it...

[@cynval9826]

is there a way to like this 200 times? my goodness. Thankfully you became a MAN... we need more men

[@180jinx]

I can relate greatly to this poem. So many past memories came in to my mind while watching this, thank you sir.

[@TaylorsTurtle]

This is very emotional, very few men will ever see the day he becomes a man because we have very few who will step up!

[@MinecraftJunky4566]

Fear is the essence that keeps spirit down, it keeps personality dormant. Love keeps men righteous, it makes him see himself and his fellow man as friends, and not one to be feared. How can life be spent in fear when love is what perseveres?

[@playmagnificent]

"Not power nor wisdom is given to those who seek the world and find pleasure in all that is on earth" you have just given me that thought now I know that becoming a man doesn't count the smarts of this world but to only pick up Gods gospel and spread it to the world and be proud of it too. You really are an inspiration brother. Thank you and God bless!!

[@dleab1088]

Awesome! Love the fact you connected your wife to your father/father-in-law. Prayers and blessings.

[@tavslife]

Beautiful! I shared this with my 16 year old son. He is lost right now but I pray this will touch his heart! Thank you!

[@merquiadesmclellan2238]

I watch this more than once everyday. it definently keeps me on the right path and is constantly reminding me what i really should be going for in life. Really this man is who i want/need to be. Love you man this is beautiful

[@Remoous92]

I'm a Muslim!! man I really respect your words.

[@monetboyd3]

God is so good what a testimony every-time I hear this it encourages me to put away my childish things and pick up the gospel forever
