The Intimacy of God | Jefferson Bethke

[@elisaisnothome]

He dwelt above us. Then he dwelt before us. He dwelt among us. Then he dwelt within us. Beautiful. So much there to ponder there.

[@Johnnyy151]

Jesus' humility and vulnerability is almost unfathomable. It is so amazing. As I grow older, I seem to become less vulnerable and humble because of how I have been broken along the way, but it is so convicting because I read about Jesus and see that He was always vulnerable. I pray that we can all be like He was and be completely undignified for Him.

[@Boxxxxxxxxx]

Wow, how good God is to us. So merciful, so kind, yet so powerful. I need to finish this race so I can one day bow before Him and worship Him at His feet. Must learn to be as loving and compassionate as Christ was because I want to see more souls contain this hope inside of them. Jefferson, you are so blessed with this gift of yours it's almost hard to believe. The gates of hell must continue to be broken!

[@sweetlyjenn]

I love the way you explain how God's glory covering the Earth is like the water covering the sea- they are one. Such an amazing video. Per usual.

[@d-dawg3561]

God is amazing. When I was younger I was fighting threw depression and every time I went to church every verse I learned had a very weird connection of my life. Not one verse was of topic and I was slowly getting off depression one day I prayed and the next day I was as happy as like I was as a baby. That's something science cannot do.

[@JeffersonBethkepage]

NEW VIDEO!!!! Thought I'd make it a great day and release not only our newest podcast, but also our newest video!! Really proud of this one. My buddy Matt did amazing editing and shooting on this. Also, I don't say it in the video but this would be very much aligned with where my next book is coming out of which we'll announce this month :D

[@maribelosorio5543]

Hey jefferson bethke nices video

[@TheNesdsachannel]

***** It's hard to say vulnerable and god in the same sentence, He loves use and it says in the bible what love is. He has cried for use in the past and grew angry with out decisions "Use as in humans." so I would say he had emotion before the flesh.

[@Ldub1]

Good stuff man! Thanks for doing what you do!

[@StephDavis77]

***** Dope! Are you a creative consultant, producer, etc., on "A.D."? If so, I'm so glad! I absolutely LOVE the show and I'm shocked at how it really proclaims the name and existence of Christ Thanks for the video!

[@user-ln6pu7kq9j]

Amazing words

[@bebee2742]

I wish all priests spoke like you! You're honest and you preach Truth! You can tell the Holy Spirit is working through you. Thank you for these amazing messages.

[@taenotswift98]

This man and his wife...Jefferson and Alyssa Bethke love the Lord with all their hearts, souls, and minds and have encouraged me and inspired me in the things of God!!

[@endochick9310]

I think God has given you the gift to interpret the bible in such a way that we can see God's heart for his people. Thank you for being obedient to God's calling on your life. You're helping people around the world 🌎 understand the depth of Gods love for his people. I probably just went in right now, but I really appreciate what you're doing. Stay encouraged and keep up the good work. Thank you again.

[@BlindLed]

The most awesome thing about our LORD God is that in His love for us He planned His rejection, planned His suffering and crucifixion and all that followed because of the joy set before Him. Our eternal deliverance from sin!

[@sonshiptoloyalfriendship]

FACE~TO~FACE with JESUS... As I go into prayer and seek my King -Jesus, the fellowship is so awesome and intense, that when I come out of it, I’ve realized it’s been at least 10 hours, sometimes more, of Him pouring His love over me and then me pouring my Love on Him... So intense is it, that it knocks me out to sleep after a whole day’s prayer of INTIMACY... I have to get a good days rest just to wake up and Love Him again... For I love Him “with all my STRENGTH” and every bit of it is used just to wake up again to Love Him... I arise morning by morning to start this process all over again just to Love Him and spend time with Him all day... THIS IS LIFE TO ME...!!! And it is the secret behind this great ministry given to me.. IT’S THE FELLOWSHIP!” ~David E. Taylor~

[@natserog]

May God be glorified!! thumbs up!

You have no idea how much you helped me overcome depression.

[@Jereton]

It's amazing that God not only loves us, but he also likes us.

[@minjang7355]

My heart sinks when I hear this guy speaking. Keep up the good work Jefferson. You inspire me and my Christian friends so much. Pray for Kingston Ontario there's been a revival going on in Kingston !.

[@GodsAnu]

Beautiful. I remember reading that verse in Isaiah and thinking "hmm, water covers the sea, what does You mean by that, Lord?" Thank you for helping me understand what that meant. And it makes me feel so much closer to God than I already am :)

[@Singbri]

SOOO GOOD. I am so glad my God is Vulnerable.

[@King_Dizzo]

God Is With Us!!

[@shamrokusmc]

I don't believe anything that Jefferson says, but I love his passion and intelligence. He is an incredibly intelligent person, and interprets literature better than most people I have ever met in my lifetime. I subscribe to learn, not to believe. When it comes to Jeff, Thank you.

[@kataus1818]

Love that you spread God's word with creativity. So awesome! The location is great!

[@Daphles]

I am honestly so in awe with your works. I myself have always been an agnostic, but there is not one video of yours that doesn't render me speechless. Much love and admiration!

[@Amadoluna61]

You are the man!!I love your videos and sharing them! Keep doing what your doing! One day I pray to follow in your footsteps.

[@Fede_uyz]

So awesome and so true! when you said that after he was crucified you would expect God to give up but instead he keeps trying, a grim apperead on my face and i was like "he came down to earth and walked among us, and we tortured him to the point that 1 more lashing would kill him, we killed him and tryied to send him away, and he kept trying, he for sure love us and want to be with us

[@JessicaAloha07]

[@strayabeatz5102]

Remember it wasn't god we crucified. It was Jesus. Unless you believe in the trinity, then in that case each to there own

[@Murri16]

straya beatz nah bro, it was God we crucified. Because think about it my man, To conquer sin you have to be good... you have to be perfect and righteous to conquer sin. In the new testament, someone called Jesus "good" and jesus replied "Why do you call me good? no one is good but God", see how Jesus doesnt actually deny being God? he just says only God is good... So it goes like this bro. 1. Only God is good 2. to conquer sin you have to be good 3. Jesus conquered sin 4. Jesus must be good 5. Jesus must be God.

[@klintoncloyd5700]

straya beatz we did the jews always accuse him of being God? john 10:33The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.

[@strayabeatz5102]

klinton cloyd it actually says in john 10:33 ''we are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be god''.(reading from NIV) And in verse 36, jesus claims that he is gods son. On the cross he also says. '' Father, why have you forsaken me''. talking to god. but lets be honest. this conversation isnt going anywhere

[@ericmingo9079]

Amen. I love this guy.. All Glory to God

[@fullmetalsasquach8229]

Jeff I forgot about your videos . I'm with my 90 year old grandma and your videos are soencouraging

[@janicepodgurski4908]

Ok, Bethke, you've really grown on me. Loved your new book! It's Not What You Think... little confusing at first, but once I got the rhythm, it was a really good book! Thanks!

Thanks for your explanation of the sea. Very clear and helped me a lot. What a beautiful feeling too know we will have that one day!

Soo true that in your video you showed how " to love is to be vulnerable".... Amazingly it makes a lot of sense.. thanks for making this video buddy

How can I like this video again?

Excellent video! For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of hthe glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14

[@JESUS10148]

Hello Jeff and God bless you, i love the fact that you take time to explain parts of the bible that may be somewhat confusing to people but i feel that you have given up on your gift of spoken word... i miss those poems that challenged people to think about their wicked ways... do not get me wrong i do like what you are doing now, but your explosive ministry is spoken word

[@Vietals]

The Gospel so powerfully told with such short time! God bless bro

[@bitrswtcookie99]

This was so powerful and beautiful illustration of God getting closer to us, wow I never quite saw it like that!

[@squali1930]

Wooow this was heavy. Yes I do see scripture as a stairway I have to climb and master but man the way you said it has got me thinking like.... No scripture is what it is whether I know it all or understand if all or not. Man that was strong stuff.

[@foreverlovegreen8843]

You always have me thinking. I love it. Awesome!!!

[@yeabtsegatassew]

I love the way you presented this video, catchy & inspiring!

[@travisland4184]

Jesus we thank You, we thank You, we thank You Jesus for the blood You shed for this very moment in time. For our future. Father God we thank You for blessing the earth with brother Jefferson. My Lord i ask that You keep Jefferson embraced in Your arms as You embrace me. I ask that You keep guiding him down the path of righteousness, which is the only path to be on. We thank You Father for another day to praise Your holy name, aswell as to spread Your goodness on earth. Father i ask that You pour Your favor out on brother Jefferson and him family. My Lord, You say being an obedient servant to You what you ask for you shall receive. So Father God i am asking for all of these blessings in Your son Jesus's name, Amen. Godbless you Jefferson my brother. God truly love's you and your family.

I’m new to this God stuff. This is a beautiful video man. Illuminating. I’m learning...

[@noelmarch4984]

Man you are amazing your talent and flow u really worship im these videos keep up the good work

[@CarrieArt7]

Beautiful, Bless God for working through you.

[@xenomann442]

Yoshi 20 Why doesn't God work directly? Why does he always have to "work through people"? If God has a message that he wants to get across, why doesn't he just show up one day and let everyone know? His message would come across more strongly that way, and would reach more people.

[@CarrieArt7]

Adam Wojtczak I have three answers to the question. 1) People asked Jesus how they could increase their faith. He said they could increase their faith by serving God. When you serve God, you see amazing things, & it really increases your faith & shows you how powerful God is. 2) He uses people so people get the wonderful opportunity to do something for him. I know as a Christian that I feel so blessed for everything God has done for me, & I just want to do something to return the favor. So by allowing his people to work, they are blessed with the opportunity to serve him. That theory isn't mentioned in the Bible, it's just my own personal view. 3) God did show himself when he came as Jesus, he performed miracles, controlled the weather, fulfilled prophecies, & much more. But people didn't believe Jesus, they instead rejected & killed him. Yes, it would be convenient for everyone if God just showed up, & said, here I am, but Jesus said, he who has seen me & believed is blessed, but he who hasn't seen yet believes is even more blessed. I believe if you "truly" want to find God, he will show himself to you. Just the other day, I asked God if he could help me to increase my faith further, & when I went to church that morning, the whole message was about how to increase your faith, & at the end, the preacher asked for anyone to come up if they might be struggling with their faith. I feel like God answered my prayer, I felt honored he would do that. At the end, God will show himself, & everyone will know he is real. But at this point in time, it's in our hands, & we have to choose whether we want to find God or not. If we look for him earnestly & humbly, he will show us in his own way he is there. And it is not always the same. But even if we don't seek him, I believe he still will give us opportunities to see him, but many will not allow themselves to see the signs. Such as the other day I told someone online that was questioning God that I knew someone who had been healed of cancer. She was diagnosed with cancer, many people prayed for her, & when we went back to the doctor, all signs of her cancer was gone, like she never had it. The person I told this to didn't doubt my story, but they still refused to hear about God because they didn't think it was fair that God would help that woman & let other people around the world suffer. And while I agree that it doesn't seem fair that people suffer, it doesn't counter the fact that many people have had their prayers answers, & experienced miracles. I don't have the answers for why everything happens in this world, but I can't blindly ignore everything God has done in my life. I don't know if you are a Christian or an atheist, but I wish you the best. There are other many points I could make on this subject, if you still have more questions on the topic.

[@xenomann442]

Yoshi 20 How about this... Would more people go to heaven, if God revealed himself directly? I feel this question is more interesting.

[@CarrieArt7]

Adam Wojtczak Interesting question. You would think the answer would be yes, but in the Old Testament, God spoke directly to Moses (though not showing his face), & the Israelites saw many signs & wonders, yet some Israelites chose to worship different idols. So some people will reject God even if he has direct contact with them. Also,God told Moses no man could see his face & live because they would be shocked. But we will be able to see him in heaven (in our spirit form). Also, because it was clear that God was real in the Old Testament, the Israelites had much more expected of them. So while it would be nice to have direct contact with God because it would make it clear he is real, there's also a draw back in that much more would be expected of us. We no longer have people who speak directly to God because when Jesus came, he fulfilled the law, & now people can read the Bible to know about God. God will still show himself to us in different ways. And it is different for everyone. Someone might have their prayers answers, some might experience a miracle, & so on. But there will be some he shows signs to that ignore his message. At the end of the day, God will give us signs of his existence, but he will let us choose whether or not to believe in & follow him.

[@Boxxxxxxxxx]

Adam Wojtczak No. God has revealed himself and his power to the Israelites and yet they continually went back to serving their detestable idols. That was a demonstration to us that seeing God will not be sufficient enough, seeing His power will not be sufficient enough. The only thing that will suffice is your desire to KNOW HIM, LOVE HIM, & SERVE HIM for WHO HE IS. Not for what He can do for us. Man cannot stand in His holy presence or see his glory without tasting death. The amazing thing about the Lord is that He is able to sustain our Faith in Him by allowing us to abide in His presence. As long as we pursue God because of our love for Him, He continually reveals to us more about Himself on a deeper level. He truly, truly cares to have a relationship with mankind. Every single one of us - including you. His love exceeds beyond what we could ever comprehend. God is not man that he should think like us, His purpose by which he chooses to communicate with us is for our own good, and our relationship with Him. Of course his ways are higher than ours. Your problem is not a lack of evidence, but a lack of faith and sincere love for Him. Jesus didn't do miracles in cities that lacked faith. That is the will of God. For us to believe on Him with faith, if you don't like it then that simply means you dislike one characteristic of God. How many more things about Him would you dislike, you can't go the rest of your life questioning His will and expecting to receive the answers you desire.

[@rooseveltwashington6135]

Jeff I want to,thank you for your spoken words. I find me fighting myself on a daily basis to stay on the path of God. Why is this such a battle for me? I trust and accept God in my life but it seems that I also sin and fail God on a daily basis.

[@claireoscar5649]

I just want to listen to you over and over again 😍😇😇😇

[@collinrules101]

Jeff, I'm not gonna be that crazy dude who tries to get you to reply or follow me, lol I just pray you'll read this. I want to start making spoken word videos in the future. I know truth when I hear it, and you've obviously got it- that's why so many people are drawn to your words! I agree and have the same types of ideas that you use and teach, so my hope is that they will wake my generation up to what we've become blind to and how we can come back to the gracious feet of Jesus. You probly won't even see this because who am I but just another fan of yours! I look up to you a lot in my faith and appreciate/love the way you make us look at something in a whole new light, with sharp words, and the kind of real truth that slaps you in the face. My goal is to have the same lasting impact on other peoples lives as you do on mine !

[@maali1497]

I really like the comparison of God and his people to an ocean. This is fairly irrelevant, but I just read in a book, today actually, that God is the color of water. Water has no color as does God. He is ever so diverse and open and loving and all empowering. I guess I just really love the comparison of God to the ocean and to water. To me it almost makes things feel real in an intangible way and I really like to think of God like that.

[@knarwhals]

That was great! One of my favorites for sure!

[@ricardon.2641]

I would make the distinction though that saving faith leads to obedience. Not for sake of earning favor, but out of Thanksgiving to God for saving a sinner. Out of love and fear of the Lord.

[@tate600]
