Amen ! Thank you brother ! I use to doubt the power of prayer ... but this sermon and the whole series helped changed my entire perspective on prayer and now i pray CONSTANTLY! 😳😱 I literally can’t function or even make the simplest decisions unless I’m praying constantly. God is good !! And thank you again for helping leading and teaching us ! I hope that someday I can be half the man ... half the Christian, that you or Moses Primo is 🤔😬🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ But i definitely know I praise and thank god everyday for his patience with me and for sending people in my life like my dad who are patient with me and my progress. I’ve definitely had a lot of progress tho praise the lord !!!! I take ZERO credit tho ! It’s all just god working inside me and slowly improving me.. I love it !!! 😊🤔😂🔥💪🏾✌🏾🙏🏽

[@ritz25winters98]

Please pray for my son ..He is suffering from severe depression😌

[@thomasmartinscott]

Does he KNOW the Lord...as HIS PERSONAL SAVIOR??? Jesus said "MANY will say to Me in that day, 'We Preached in Your Name, we cast out demons in Your Name'...(.in other words... They were VERY " Religious".)...." And I will say to them, 'Depart from Me....I ....NEVER ....KNEW.....YOU "! (Matt 7:22, 23 ) Religion is taking a LOT of people straight to Hell, because if " Religion " could SAVE ANYBODY, then Jesus Christ Died for NOTHING! That one Scripture should PROVE that. PLEASE don't think I won't pray for him, and you as well! I DO pray for you BOTH RIGHT NOW. I just want you to KNOW that Jesus CAN and WILL deliver him, but a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM is what is needed. I pray for you both to KNOW HIM! God Bless You!

You are my favourite tv pastor I never miss your show . I am 83 and the last 10 yrs have been the most peaceful of a very hard stress filled life My dad taught me to pray when I was 5 when dad taught me to pray just before he went to war in 41 it has helped me through so many many things When you speak of how we should have an attitude of prayer I now enjoy that privilage . I want people to know our Father is there always. All we need to do is start talking to Him .When I was 30 yr old mom of 3 sons I was told on a Friday that I had a tumor in lung and I had a personal history of cancer as a child.My doctor told me he had made appt with chest surgeon for Monday.I spent the weekend in constant prayer as I made meals did laundry etc When I saw surgeon tests showed no lesion .Doctor said he didn't understand how. But I know Father had heard my prayer and healed me That is only one of many times .He has always been there He specializes in impossibilities !! C.Hudson

Brothers and sisters pray for me. I grew up an a Baptist church. I know to never deny our Lord Jesus Christ. Im a bit confused and often ask myself is it blasphemy to not use his correct Hebrew name. My only hope comes from Matthew 12:31. The scriptures also say o confess according to James 5:16 these are my flaws. • Not praying. Sometimes I think I talk to God but it's not a formal prayer. • I don't forgive or forget. I hold grudges. • Not going to church • Smoking. I use to try to quit, but now I don't even have the motivation to. I think about it but I don't do it. I want to quit but I don't know how anymore. • Drinking. When I'm bored I do it even more. The worst part is that I've become a functional alcoholic. Meaning, you wouldn't know im drunk. • Using Hookers ( prostitute). I haven't done that in a few months. • Masturbating • Pornography • Lying • Cursing- currently working on that. • Not eating right • Not exercising • Not drinking enough water • Not saving money • Too much daydream • Thought of violence. I don't think About harming innocent, but i think about if someone cross me​, all the things I would do to them • Self talk. I have conversations with my self • Assumption about people that may not be right • Not financially stable. I work hard but I always fuck things up • Too emotional. Sometimes I feel like I think like a woman • afraid to approach women. I'm afraid I'm not good enough, I'm not ready to live as a man. It's like, what can I do for a woman? • I think I'm more flawed than others and unworthy. I know everyone has flaws but mines are what people can see. • When I look at myself, I feel that I could have actually done so much better. • I fight between reality, emotions and what the Bible says. Being in thia world while trying not to be a part of this world is quite challenging. Especially with all of our lust. Im not suicidal but, i often ask myself why am i here? Why do i do the things i do? There's things i think about without trying to think about them. • I feel like a total loser. A waste of breath • I always come back to square one • I still have the will to keep trying. I will not give up. Not until my last breath. But sometimes it's overwhelming • I mostly fantasise about good things. Whenever reality strikes, I lose hope in everything. • I've done more wrong in my past, I don't list them because I'm not doing them anymore. • I've lied about my true self. I've spent many years imitating other people. Trying to be what I'm not. • I frabricated many stories trying to make people feel for me hoping it would help them understand my behaviors. most of these stories are false. I was just too ashamed of what was underneath. • I feel so fake. As much as I want to come out of these lies, I don't know how to tell them and still be able to live. • I want to do better, but I feel too far gone. • I'm insecured. I was a lot worst but I think I'm getting better. That's just what I think. • I want a family and a child so bad, but I'm afraid that I might fail them. • I'm afraid of more things than most people realize.i can't blame them I act tuff. • I have great will and desires, but I never achieve them • I've had so many screw ups in my past, they hunt me till this day • I tell this because I want to let go of these flaws. These are the most embarrassing​ l things I've ever shared. I want God to someday free me of these things and someday forgive me. • If you're one of those who pray. Regardless of your sin. If any of yours matches mines, you don't have to share but just know you're not alone. Help me pray. I want to be a better man • My greatest wish is to have a family. To be able to protect them, provide and lead them. • I want to be saved • I'm trying to do better, but it always seems like I'm not doing it right. Everytime I look back, I find out that I've been doing something wrong. Usually everything.

[@DaliaCato]

I pray that things are getting better for you

[@caribbeangirl7876]

James, Print what you just told us, then go on your knees and say exactly what you just told us to Jesus. Speak to Him, tell Him all your desires , your needs, your wants. Praise Him and thank Him for all that He will do for you. Don't doubt, just believed Him. Keep Him focused on your mind. Talk to Him ALL the time. Before you know it, you'll find yourself falling in love with Him, and you will see a big difference in your life. I guarantee it! If you don't believe me, TRUST HIS WORD. Do you have a Bible? See what He is saying to you: Jeremiah 29:11-13 "...And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart". "Ask, and it shall be given to you". Matt. 7:7-8, "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matt 21:22, "And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:24. I can't wait to hear what God will do for you. He loves you.

Why is it that some verses condemn people because they follow the direction (hit the ground 3 times, and that's as many times as he did), but also condemns them who don't follow directions (doing it more times then told).? These are opposites but both are considered wrong or not enough.

[@davidfuriosso702]

I immensely enjoy Doug’s teaching’s. Been subscribed for some time now. I’ve noticed ad interruptions every few minutes. Like this video was 3 1/2 minutes came the very first ad. I don’t know how the rest of you listen to these but I put it on the computer and I go about doing my thing, whatever that may be while I listen. But now I am interrupted several times just to click skip. I could remember at one time that there was no commercial “ad“ interruptions. I’m truly sorry about my complaining but John MacArthur’s videos “Grace to you” have no commercial “ads” Alpha&Omega ministries also have no ads. They are both clearly not as large as a Seventh-day Adventist ministry. Again I’m sorry it’s apparent that this is a sore spot for me. I have to keep working on it because I can’t stop listening. I’m listening to this three-part series and I guess I will be skipping at least a dozen times in these three videos. 😔 May God continue to bless his ministry as he has.

Hello, Rang Syiemlieh, all you need to do is tell him whats on your mind what makes you happy, angry, annoyed, or worried. Just start and God will see the purity in your heart and help you but the devil will be looking and listening but the more you talk to God he will talk to you, He will use different mediums, social media through someone's status, a friend a conversation you may over hear or so many other ways and if you realized you missed it ask him and he will send it again. And remember we can NEVER PRAY TO MUCH cause our father ALWAYS wants to hear from us. God bless you.

[@bearvillebear1468]

I've got a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this: All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortality and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What is this new way entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. ... What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more or if you need clarification on anything xxxx

I was hoping you can answer my question I heard you mention that there's a prophecy that the gospel will be handed over to the Gentiles from the Jews. I just wonder if you could tell me what the address of that prophecy is or more about it

These are the same people who claim in every corner that they are NO longer under the Law yet perform acts sanctioned under the Commandments not to worship idols. Which one is it? Are the Commandments and the rest of the Law still relevant or not? Or you just pick and choose?

Batchelor please Check this out. 30 min into this sermon i marmelade, you could have God's thorts The chatholic church have the God the Spirit as a person, wee diddent I cry over the abominations don in this God's church. Stik to the Bible as your Creed. I like you, and I love you speetches, Get back to the Old path wihle there is time. Reed Malachi cap 2. I wood like not to give this worning, but I like you. 🤗 Appendix II - Fundamental Principles of SDA in 1872 In presenting to the public this synopsis of our faith, we wish to have it distinctly understood that we have no articles of faith, creed, or discipline, aside from the Bible. We do not put forth this as having any authority with our people, nor is it designed to secure uniformity among them, as a system of faith, but is a brief statement of what is, and has been, with great unanimity, held by them. We often find it necessary to meet inquiries on this subject, and sometimes to correct false statements circulated against us, and to remove erroneous impressions which have obtained with those who have not had an opportunity to become acquainted with our faith and practice. Our only object is to meet this necessity. FSDA 301.1 As Seventh-day Adventists we desire simply that our position shall be understood; and we are the more solicitous for this because there are many who call themselves Adventists who hold views with which we can have no sympathy, some of which, we think, are subversive of the plainest and most important principles set forth in the word of God. FSDA 301.2 As compared with other Adventists, Seventh-day Adventists differ from one class in believing in the unconscious state of the dead, and the final destruction of the unrepentant wicked; from another, in believing in the perpetuity of the law of God as summarily contained in the ten commandments, in the operation of the Holy Spirit in the church, and in setting no times for the advent to occur; from all, in the observance of the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath of the Lord, and in many applications of the prophetic scriptures. FSDA 301.3 With these remarks, we ask the attention of the reader to the following propositions, which aim to be a concise statement of the more prominent features of our faith. FSDA 301.4 - I - That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal, infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and everywhere present by his representative, the Holy Spirit. Psalm 139:7. FSDA 301.5 - II - That there is one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, the one by whom God created all things, and by whom they do consist; that he took on him the nature of the seed of Abraham for the redemption of our fallen race; that he dwelt among men full of grace and truth, lived our example, died our sacrifice, was raised for our justification, ascended on high to be our only mediator in the sanctuary in Heaven, where, with his own blood, he makes atonement for our sins, which atonement, so far from being made on the cross, which was but the offering of the sacrifice, is the very last portion of his work as priest, according to the example of the Levitical priesthood, which foreshadowed and prefigured the ministry of our Lord in Heaven. See Leviticus 16; Hebrews 8:4, 5; 9:6, 7; etc. FSDA 301.6 - III -

PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY AS IF YOUR ETERNAL “LIFE” DEPENDED ON IT In the Book of Hebrews Chapter 10, in context, the author was talking to “baptized” Christians (Hebrews 10:22) telling them to not be “neglecting to meet together” in “the Church” - being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Why “the Church”??? ***Hebrews **10:26**-29 “For IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY after receiving knowledge of the truth, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT, AND A FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES………..HOW MUCH MORE PUNISHMENT DO YOU THINK WILL BE DESERVED BY THE MAN WHO HAS SPURNED THE SON OF GOD, AND PROFANED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE HAS SANCTIFIED, AND OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE”.*** What does Sacred Scriptures clearly say “IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY” or willfully break any of the commandments whether the old (10 Commandments) or NEW (Laws of LOVE or refusing to LOVE as Christ commands per John 13:34)??? If “THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT”, then how does one obtain reconciliation with GOD again??? We must examine the old covenant to fully understand the NEW COVENANT. In Leviticus 5:5-6 and Numbers 5:5-9 we understand what an old covenant Jew had to do to receive GOD's forgiveness. Additionally, GOD in the Books of Leviticus and Numbers any time personal “sin” is even mentioned you will read over and over again “THUS THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR A MAN’S SINS AND IT WILL BE FORGIVEN” (Lev 4:20, 4:26, 4:31,4:35, 5:6, 5:10, 5:13, 5:16, 5:18, 6:7, 7:7, 12:8, 14:18, 14:19, 14:20, 14:29, 14:31, 15:15, 15:30, 16:32, 16:33, 19:22 Num. 6:11,15:25, and 15:28). In the old covenant, GOD clearly uses ordained “men”, the Leviticus Priesthood, to administer His forgiveness. Now, does GOD keep His WORD and covenant promises??? GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood per His covenant in Numbers 25:12-13 and Malachi 2:4-7 and has WORDS of “forever” in Exodus 29:7-9, 40:15, and 1 Chronicles 23:13. Then, GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood in Jeremiah 33:14-22 NEW COVENANT PROPHECY. And, in context of “gathering the nations” in Isaiah 66:18 GOD states in Isaiah 66:21 “some of them also I will take for priests”, meaning no longer based on Levi tribal lineage in the NEW COVENANT. In John Chapter 13, we see Jesus Christ fulfilling His Father’s Levi Covenant promise and Malachi 3:3 prophecy, when He sits down in the upper room “purifying” the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD with a “washing”. This “washing” was a “forever” priestly liturgical GOD command in Exodus 30:21- in order to perform any altar work or sacrifice. What “same” power does the Son of GOD give to His ONE and ONLY established Church or “the Church” per Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and specifically explained to the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD by Jesus in John 20:21-23??? In 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 St. Paul describes what Jesus Christ did was He “GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION” and concluded “SO WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST”. An “ambassador” wields what kind of power as an “official representative” of Christ or more specifically explained in “the Church” as “persona Christi”??? Please come or return to your real home and be “reconciled” to “the Church” HIS ONE BODY (Ephesians 4:4-6). What did Jesus Christ create, pray for in John 17:21-23 and die for??? If you really LOVE Jesus Christ, then you will respond to His prayer and join the “ONENESS” that He created. The “Lamb of GOD” wants to unite with you in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) in His ONE and ONLY established Church, so we all can be “perfectly ONE”. May GOD richly bless you on your journey.

[@dianekeaton269]

Yes. SDA doctrine is false and it is a cult. I would steer clear of him and his false teachings.

[@sorayacardenas3403]

Dee Smith Keaton you cannot hurt the bride of Christ.

[@tstewart46]

Doug Batchelor speaks the truth. Its disturbing how you can claim to know Jesus and yet be so blind to the truth. May God bless you and open your eyes.

[@clydearit1280]

​@@dianekeaton269 how are we a cult? We try to follow the bible teachings as close as possible!! All the other denominations either follow false teachings, etc. Im trying not to put down anyone or being biased but research and know God and His word for yourself. Also why are you going around teaching false words without any explanations.

[@clydearit1280]

@@dianekeaton269 Tell me what he is preaching is false. In stead of stating disrespectful comments, why don't you listen to the sermon and apply it, then God will HOPEFULLY open your eyes.
