the prayer of salvation
“HEAVENLY FATHER, I come to you in the name of JESUS. I acknowledge to YOU that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; and I recognize that I need YOUR forgiveness.
I believe that YOU are the only begotten SON OF GOD, and that YOU shed YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD on the cross of Calvary and died for my sins, were resurrected on the third day, and are seated at the right hand of GOD. I repent of my sins, and I turn to YOU.
YOU said in YOUR Word that if we confess with our mouth, and believe in our hearts that GOD raised JESUS from the dead, we shall be saved.
I ask YOU FATHER to forgive me of all my sins, and ask You to fill me with The HOLY SPIRIT. This very moment I accept JESUS CHRIST as my own personal LORD and SAVIOR and according to YOUR Word, right now I am saved. LORD have full control of my life and help me to serve YOU and glorify YOUR HOLY NAME and praise YOU forever. Amen.”

IF ANYONE'S LOOKING FOR ME... FIND ME IN THE SECRET PLACE

[@Baldlingg]

whew this is deep. You're right about cost... I thought I had given up everything to God (materialistic speaking), I was literally like "Lord, there's nothing you can take from me that I won't give..." until He tested my faith which revealed PRIDE (false humility). He wasn't asking for physical anymore, He was asking for my heart. Everything that hardened it (fear if rejection and abandonment, to trust him without thinking of a way out if things dont pan out, to talk to him about my low self esteem etc) He has called us to consecrate ourselves for Him. Thank you for this word, its deep and has answered a lot.

[@Baldlingg]

btw this episode is part of my time with God today.

[@daughterofchrist0123]

I thought the same. "Lord, I've given up so much for you." But your comment really helped me understand that a heart change is needed from me. Thank you ❤️

[@sharons.9902]

This is such good teaching - there is a cost - there is a change in identity - so good - the fishermen becoming fishers of men - there is a cost to follow God - an act of complete obedience. Thank you for the life application through the Abraham, the disciples. Holy Spirit empower us and help us follow with complete obedience.

[@daughterofchrist0123]

Wow. I've been in a rebellious state for the past few weeks, backsliding from God. A few days ago, I decided to simply sit down and read the Bible. The Lord showed me this scripture which is in Luke, the chapter where it says that someone who wants to build a tower first considers the cost and if he has enough... And this passage has been on my mind since then, asking myself if I've evaluated the cost. Ngl I still felt like I had to study this passage a bit more to truly understand it and for it to make a change in my heart. I open youtube right now and the first thing that shows up is this video with the striking , hard to miss title. I'm going to watch it today. Thank You Holy Spirit 😭

[@alishaconstantin23]

Me too! Literally me too!

[@destinywatson5071]

I’m so grateful fir the rawness you bring and how good is using you as a vessel to really bring his word to life and call us higher

[@highaltitude7609]

59:28 literally such an amazing mindset and revelation. It truly puts carnality and spirituality in perspective. Nothing in this world matters, and nothing in this world will sustain you or uphold you. It's all fake and fleeting. You could be stripped of everything, and at the end of the day, the only thing left standing with you is God. He's the only thing that truly matters.

[@LighthouseForYaH]

Yeah. Let me tell you. I was stripped of everything Last Year. I put my Mercedes-Benz and Dodge Challenger before GOD I put my relationship before GOD I put the Stock Market before GOD I put People before GOD And got stripped from it all right down to my knees. Thank GOD for my family. I do not know how my bills are paid. Yes i do GOD IS THE WAY! 😢

[@LighthouseForYaH]

Spent 12 hours in the word yesterday (Dec 28, 24).. didnt eat.. Didnt feel hungry until i was done cooking which took 3 hours. GOD will do it when you Have Mighty Faith! We serve a Mighty GOD

[@xiamyahyoung2196]

Thank you for this episode. I can tell that you have let the Holy Spirit move because I was convicted on many accounts of pride and starting to allow myself to forget that I was bought with a price; so giving God my all should not be a second thought. So, thank you. I also wanted to add that you were correct about God giving Abraham the covenant of circumcision (Gen. 17:9-14). May God continue to bless you with His peace, guidance, love, grace, and all of the promises He has for you. God bless!

[@hecticc9652]

Let me give you that instant gratification rq: Amazing word, I thank you for your obedience, and willingness to let the Spirit of God speak through you. I’m now encouraged to count the cost, and give my self to Christ continuously. God Bless you Aliyah 💜✝️ (hope I spelled it right.)

[@Jaxx137]

This was so powerful I cannot even describe how much this meant to me. It was no mistake The Lord put view of this within reach where I would not miss this inspirational teaching.

[@20cutzz]

You are my favorite sister in christ! 🙌

[@sidneyoparajustus]

Thank you God ❤️🙌🏾

[@LockedN3mm]

Crazy how everything you said in the first 30min got to me. Specifically the sober part in Peter and the relationship part too. Had to drop someone I love to get closer to Jesus💯

[@BradfordJosey]

I agree with the replacement strategy! God does that for us ... beauty for ashes. This is a great moment in history I believe...for many reasons, many are making full proof with their ministry, from a place of rest and receiving instead of toilet and vain works. Replacement is of the Lord definitely. Jesus forsakes even his will to the Father when he said not my will, your will be done! Rejoice guys!

[@YungNandoDdd]

You're So Beautiful ❤ Thanks For Sharing Your Word With The World 🌎

[@NaturallBBeauty276]

I’m new here and so excited to listen to your podcast. God is pulling on me to spend more time in Christ however I don’t know how to do that…can you talk about the ways you spend time with him with your 9-5 job and I’m sure other things you are busy doing ?

[@MariaPerez-ww4km]

59:08 jaw dropped 😭 cus that’s really why some folks want a husband/wife

[@Wearechsn]

Can you make a video on how to find time with Lord while working a 9 to 5

[@MyaThomas-v2t]

I noticed on my walk watching the clock in prayer can sometimes breed self righteousness. There is blessings attached to dwelling in the secret place but what is better a 10 minute prayer where the holy spirit is present and your connecting to God or 1 hour prayer but there is no connection to God or the holy spirit is not there. Bible says Pray in spirit and in truth

[@cristovaopissi7777]

Amen

[@joshashby5024]

"The increase of His government and peace there shall be no end; upon the Throne of David and upon His Kingdom to order it and to establish it with the Judgment and with Justice from henceforth; even forever the zeal of the LORD of Hosts will perform this" The Prophet Isaiah NOW COME THE DAYS OF THE KING The first thing I saw was the heavens torn open, unveiling Christ in overwhelming majesty, surrounded by an uncountable multitude of saints and heavenly hosts, stretching endlessly across the sky. His robe was drenched in blood, His eyes blazed with a terrifying fire, and upon His head were many crowns, each symbolizing absolute authority. The air itself trembled under the radiance of the all-consuming fire of God, which poured from Him like waves of eternal power. Mounted upon His horse, He split the heavens apart with an earth-shaking force and descended in unimaginable glory, revealing Himself to the son of Satan and his armies. This was not the Christ of old; this was the King of kings, in whom all glory, power, authority, and dominion resided. His very presence was a force that commanded all creation’s attention, every eye fixated in awe and terror on the One who holds all dominion. As I beheld the return of the Son of David, a deafening roar of praise erupted from every corner of the Earth, like the clash of oceans meeting the sky. All creation rose in one voice, exalting the Divine Glory of the King who had come to dwell among men. The very ground beneath trembled as He made His way, clothed in unspeakable power and majesty. His presence radiated an overwhelming splendor-His eyes burning with divine fury and His face shining like a devouring fire. Each step He took sent shockwaves through the Earth, announcing the arrival of the King in all His authority and dominion. The kings of the Christ, in their grandeur, stood in reverence, their crowns trembling in their hands as they bowed their heads in the presence of the One who reigns above all. Along the path He walked were those whom the world had once called great, now bowing before their true King. The Throne of David, towering in its eternal glory, awaited Him, surrounded by the thrones of the righteous. Around it stood the men of renown-the apostles, their faces shining with the honor of their calling, and the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, standing tall, their eyes filled with awe. Moses, the great lawgiver, and all the faithful stood in their splendor, their garments shining like the dawn of creation. As the Son of David walked through the holy streets of Jerusalem, His path was lined with those who had gone before Him. On His right were the righteous kings of Israel, their faces aglow with the legacy of their devotion. Among them stood Hezekiah, eyes full of unwavering faith, a beacon of righteousness. On His left were the prophets of old, their presence as mighty as the words they once spoke. Isaiah Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all the prophets of the ages bowed low, their voices silenced in awe of the One they had foretold. Step by step, the King moved toward the Throne of His father David, flanked by these ancient and revered ones, each bowing as He passed. The air was heavy with the weight of the moment, as the Earth itself seemed to hold its breath. And there, at the foot of the throne, stood David, son of Jesse, the once shepherd king, now awaiting the fulfillment of all that had been promised. His face radiated with the joy of a servant who had waited for his Master’s return. As the King ascended the steps, David raised his voice, trembling with the awe of what was before him. “Behold, now the days of the King have come!” At these words, the whole Earth seemed to quake, and all-great and small, lowly and mighty-bowed in a single, unified act of submission before the King who was both God and Man. “Hail to the Christ, the Eternal One, who has made His dwelling among us!” The voices of all creation swelled like thunder, proclaiming His reign. The thunderous applause of the multitudes rose higher and higher, as if the heavens themselves had opened in praise. And then, in the full splendor of the glory of the Divine, appeared the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, their countenances shining with radiant power. They cried out, “Behold the Throne of David! Behold the King who has come to reign in glory!” The air crackled with the intensity of their proclamation as the day of the King was fully revealed. And there, in the midst of it all, the Son of Man took His place on the Throne, crowned in majesty and victory, and the Earth itself seemed to bow, for the terrible and glorious day of the Lord had come. “Hail to Christ, the King of Kings, the LORD of LORD'S!” The voices of all creation echoed through eternity, as the King, the Eternal One, the Ancient of Days, the Son of David, the bright and Morning Star, sat Enthroned among His people forever. "Behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give every man according to his work shall be. I am the Alpha and the Omega the Beginning and the End the First and the Last." " Blessed are they who do His commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates of the city" revelation 22:12
