Before You “Step Out On Faith” Consider These 5 Things

[@jonathanterrante41]

I sacrificed my job last January this year because God called me to step out on faith, and was enrolled in seminary. Praise God 🙌🙏

[@a.v.6158]

Can I just ask what specific word you got? Was it something general like leave it behind or was it something like quit and go into ministry?

[@karlinwilliamson9329]

​@@a.v.6158in my experience, God called me audibly to find my wife. I heard the Word, "leave" while i was singing in the choir. I left a church until I had peace at another church and eventually found my wife there.

[@RealLadyG]

Education is important even to God. However, we need to be careful saying God called us to go into ministry. What we all know according to the Bible, Jesus never chose the well learned to become his Apostles. None of who he chose were learned in the Gospel such as the Pharisees who were scholars. They knew the Old Testament inside out. They had great intellect but they were very lacking as to the spiritual nature of God. God does not need another learned preaching the Gospel that he never called, chosen or ordained. Jesus created 1 church that have a prophet and 12 Apostles. There was a period of Apostasy, and he have called his prophet and 12 Apostles in these last days to restore his church and gospel with the fullness. When God calls and chooses his servant it’s not a simple occurrence. It’s only the Holy Spirit that teaches truth and bear all witness of God’s words. What you are doing is the way that man mistakenly misinterpret and actually calls themselves without any direct line of authority. Though the original 12 Apostles followed Jesus they never took it upon themselves to go into ministry. Many are called but few are chosen. I Testify to you that who God chooses he gives the power and authority of the Priesthood that is the same that Jesus gave to his 12 Apostles by laying his hand on their heads. Callings must have a Prophetic and Apostolic connection and set apart by powers on high directly from Gods and not an idea or feelings that comes to us. an ordained prophetic and apostolic ordination directly. 46,000 Christian denominations that all teaches different things did not come from the one and only true God. Pray and Fast and you will come to the real truth that your interpretation is not correct. Stay Blessed🙏🏽

[@kingsman8475]

So many people believe they were called to preach the gospels. Most of them were never called.

[@RealLadyG]

@@kingsman8475 Amen. None of them were ever called, let alone chosen. God or his angels speaks directly to those whom he calls and chose and you can judge them by their fruits. There must be a direct line of authority (Priesthood) by the laying on of heads directly. There’s only 1 church that ever claimed that and the complete evidence is there. There teachings match up exactly with everything Jesus taught when he created his church with 1 Prophet and 12 Apostles and they are united in doing the will of God. I’m so glad to have found it and to have learned the real truth God is merciful and he will not lead us to perish with 46,000 different denominations and over 1000 different versions of the Bible. God have put in place already the full gospel to be taught to everyone.

[@ChildofYah1405]

Finally someone has given me clarity about what God put in my Spirit and gave me a vision of 2 weeks ago. I prayed and asked about it and today you finally pop up. I have been asked to make a faith sacrifice but wasn’t sure if I had to act on it or wait for God to lead. Seeing as I’m in a season of isolation I now know I need to wait until He presents the solution to me. This sacrifice will hurt initially but with God in control I know I will be safe 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻

[@samsonpeter1438]

Brother Allen.. Iam following you from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Island. You are truly terrific with your biblical interpretation. May Our Heavenly God continues to give you the wisdom.. Amen..❤❤❤

[@alina.buzulan]

THIS is exactly the message I needed to hear today!! I know God has a calling on my life and it was revealed to me since I was very young but have been doubting it over and over again because it means I have to go against the tide. There is a pressure from my family and whole community to get married and settle down but God is calling me to singleness for a little longer so I can go do what I am called to do. Maybe the sacrifice I have to give is my focus on getting married and not worry about those who make me feel embarrassed for being single at 30. I guess the higher path in this life is a lonely one, not that I don't believe God will give me a spouse one, it is lonely in the sense that those around me don't understand my calling and who I am meant to be in God. Thank you Allen for this message, being a real christian that lives like the people in the Bible is very judged, even by so called other christians who claim to know God but will make you seem like you are crazy for trying to climb to the mountain top for God.

[@LForbesDeWild]

It was several years ago - and I still remember exactly where I was in my house - when I distinctly heard a very loud voice in my head. "Write." It sounded very commanding & it stopped me dead in my tracks. I answered back with "okay...what do you want me to write about?" Silence. I'd ask the same question lotsa times over the years, but still no answer. I was getting tired of waiting for an answer but realized I could at least practice writing. I'll journal, I'll send messages (or comment on Facebook or KZbin posts) in the hopes of encouraging others...until God gives me my next assignment. 😉

[@genesis4824]

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.” I just picked up my phone for the day. And I got a notification of your message. "The Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does." Thank you brother for your delivery. It has surely confirmed what I have been seeking God about. Thank you, brother. 🕊️💜🕊️

[@brendakincaid8813]

You are absolutely a fantastic CHRISTIAN, and man. I’ve now watched several of your videos, and to me YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME MORE ABOUT OUR MASTER than ANYONE else has! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE LIFE, the TRUTH , and OUR ONLY WAY HOME TO OUR FATHER! May GOD BLESS YOU EVEN MORE!!! You ARE TRULY BRINGING MANY HOME TO OUR FATHER! ❤❤❤

Thank you for answering the call of God. I can't imagine KZbin without THE BEAT!

[@sophiewiseman5842]

Brother Allen, I just wanted to say hello from the UK! And thank you for your teachings because they are really helping me grow and learn. I came back to Christ in December last year after drifting away for 8 years and getting lost. Your videos guide and comfort me and encourage me to stand on God's word for everything in my life. Thank you Lord for Allen and how you are working through him for Your glory In Jesus name Amen 🙏 Love you my brother in Christ!

[@LB-ec4uf]

So glad you stepped out on faith! You continue to have a positive impact on my growth as a Christian. I love your organized, thoughtful and insightful teaching. God bless you and your family. 🙏

[@CinemaSermons]

Wow this was so encouraging. I'm a delivery driver currently, however I fell out of my work truck. I've had back-to-back surgeries and it'll be months before I can return back to work, and my job may not have me back. Idk if my body can keep up with being a delivery driver again. So I've been making more and more videos on KZbin and I've wondered if God wants me to do this movie ministry full time. It's terrifying. I'm so scared. I haven't gotten that Word yet. I'm gonna rewatch this video a few times. Please keep me in prayer. Great video.

[@karlinwilliamson9329]

God is faithful. Continue to Trust Him (psalm 37: 3-7) and psalm is a great book to understand How God can use your desires

[@dontlookatmyaccount5113]

Hey bro, any updates?? Hope you’re well and established in the Lord

[@CinemaSermons]

@@dontlookatmyaccount5113 hey bro! Thank you so much for reaching out. I'm actually working for Waste Management driving a garbage truck. It's much easier on my body. And it allows me to keep coaching High School wrestling, which I'm so passionate about and I believe is my calling. I'm still making KZbin videos and doing movie reviews, I'm almost to 500 subscribers! So just going to keep plugging away at that. Switch more to just movie reviews and talking about the biblical side of things in live streams. Comes across a little more natural that way. So life is going much better! Thank you so much for reaching out. How are you!?

Thank you for trusting God and stepping out in faith! I've been so blessed by your ministry

[@pinkdaisy6592]

I kid you not!!! My unsaved DIL just asked me about this. She is having a hard time understanding a God that would command someone to kill his son. She sees God as narcissistic and mean. I will be sending her this video. Her hunger to know Him and learn is an answer to prayer. I pray God will give me wisdom to answer the questions she ask. I'm thankful He is providing me with your videos that I can forward to her as well. Thank you.

[@elizabethsummermeado]

Thank you for this encouraging message Allen! I'm so thankful you were obedient and followed what God has called you to do. Thank you for your testimony, always encouraging! Recently when I was listening to a podcast from Living Waters they were talking about the life of Abraham. I have been praying for more wisdom, and God will definitely give you wisdom if you ask for it. As a Christian I always struggled with the story of Abraham and why God would do things the way he did in that story. I always stumbled trying to explain to non-believers why God was still good even during that story. I've always been a Believer from a very young age but I still struggled with that story, but after studying more and after listening to that message, it finally clicked. It never occurred to me that Isaac was Abraham's Idol! And God was testing him to see if he could give up this Idol. He loved Isaac so much but Isaac had become his Idol. And I have also realized in some Bible studies the parallel between how Abraham was asked to give up his only son, but this was a foreshadowing of what God would have to do for us. It's no accident you are now talking about this the same story and how it encouraged you and changed your life. Thank you so much and please don't ever stop making your videos they are such a blessing!🙏💕🙏

Yo, can I just say that I love how your video is so practical you don’t put on a preaching voice and try to sway people emotionally your video is so down to earth and I feel like I can listen to it without feeling convicted at every single word, or feel like I have to do everything you say I love that and I actually wish that we can get in contact with you Allen because I’m currently dealing with this type of idea Which would stop me from graduation my last semester of college. I heard to give it all up and to leave it all behind, but I have no opportunity or direction. However, I am a bit optimistic about what could happen in the next few months.🤷🏽‍♀️ I also just don’t want to make that bad decision of taking your faith move where I destroy my life for no reason plus everyone including spiritual leaders are giving me the wise advice to finish college. If that word was from God, I don’t wanna go against it, but why would so many people tell me to continue

I spend much more time with God, I thank Him and praise Him for ability to be able to just walk every day, I also listen to good Christian music while I work out.

Wow! You sure said a lot in 6 minutes. You could have made at least 3 sermons out of this. I really like how you made the parallels between Jesus and Isaac so clear. I had always suspected there was a connection, but not to that extent! 🙂

[@czerninski]

Allen, another lesson from this passage is that Abraham believed that even if he had to kill his son, the Lord would bring him back to life. In Hebrews 11.17-19 (NIV) we can read: By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be recognized.” Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death. This is a figure of Jesus, dead for our sins, but resurrected by the power of God.
