I don’t care who dislikes me saying “God is good all the time” I’m still gonna keep saying it. God has delivered me from SO MUCH and I owe Him my life. I dedicate my life to Him, I truly am trying to live for God.

God died on cross for us to be free of sin. You probably heard that a lot.. but the message has a (deeper meaning) hell was created for devil and demons but we fell into sin of our sinful nature and if we die in sin we go to hell as a punishment. Now God isn’t being unfair, it’s a punishment for our DEEDS not God, plus how can He be unfair and unloving if HE Chose to give us another chance and gave us the best gift of ETERNAL LIFE. Notice how I said ~Chose~ not because He had to but because HE CHOSE TO. He didn’t choose to save devil or demons but for you. HE LOVES US THAT MUCH! He is our GOD and Jesus is coming soon!!!☦️✝️😊

Can someone pray for me? I feel like I'm drifting away from God and I feel disconnected :( UPDATE: I first off want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ and you guys for helping me and guiding me! I felt the strong presence of the Holy Spirit and it told me to go outside and pray. I prayed my heart out and was on fire for God while asking for humility, wisdom, and courage. I thank every single one of you. I love you all and I hope God rewards you for your amazing deeds! God bless! 🖤🦋

[@sd6212]

Whenever I drift away and feel disconnected, i look at the cross, the finish work of my saviour, my first love, the one who gave it all. I look at the gospel and fall in love again! Read this: my love don’t be scared of hell if you are a child of God („There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.“ - ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬) if you REPENT (= change your mind - about what? Gods existence & your sinfulness, since „The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.“-Psalm 14:1 NKJV (and all humanity is corrupt (10), does not seek God (11) and do abominable works (12) (Romans 3:10-12).) Repent!🤍 You don’t have to fear anything if you then BELIEVE in the TRUE GOSPEL. = Jesus Christ, Son of God, God in the flesh, fully God and fully man with no sin came down to earth to pay the penalty of our sins as the perfect sacrifice for the sins we committed based on the grace of God which has been given to us (Eph 2:8-9) (Romans 5:15) Jesus sacrifice was sufficient (Heb 10:10) Jesus Christ shedding his blood was enough for the forgiveness of our sins (Eph 1:7) (we are now righteous in the eyes of God through faith (2Cor 5:21; Rom 5:1) he put the death our sinful nature on the cross (Romans 6:6) so that our sinful nature does not have any dominion over us anymore! (Romans 6:6,7,14) Jesus died on the cross but in Christ Jesus we are one in him („For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,“ - ‭‭Romans 6:5 NKJV) So Christ’s death is also our death and his resurrection is our resurrection! Due to our righteousness in God holiness (the progress of becoming holy, set part, becoming more like Christ in thinking and behaviour) comes as a result (Romans 6:22). For that reason we now have the Holy Spirit inside of us who will make us Holy (1Pet 1:2). You will know that you have the Holy Spirit by his fruit: „But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.“ - ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:22-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ And the end of our life on this earth (whether it through normal death or Christ rapturing us) we will be glorified (Romans 8:29). That will completely our salvation Note this: JUSTIFICATION = Through Christ we ARE SAVED from the penalty (= wrath of God (Romans 1:18) of our sinS (= the actions which results of our sinful nature) SANCTIFICATION = Through Christ we are now BEING SAVED from our siN (our sinful nature which has now been put to death, it has no power over us anymore and we don’t have to fulfill the list of the flesh in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:16)) THIS IS TRUE FREEDOM!!! GLORIFICATION = We WILL BE SAVED from the presence of our sin (in heaven we will be free from our sinful nature and we will have new, perfect & glorified bodies (1Cor 15:42-44), (Phil 3:20-21)! This is true salvation! By Grace alone (Eph 2:8-9) Through faith alone (Rom 1:17, 4:5) In Christ alone (Heb 10:10) Revealed in the Holy Scripture ( Rom 10:17) For the Glory of God alone (Eph 1:6) BELIEVE!🤍 My brother, Read 1John and you’ll see that everything written was for you TO KNOW that you are saved! „These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.“ - ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ There is assurance in your salvation! According to 1John You know you are his when 1. Believe in the Deity of Christ (1John 1-2; Jesus being the word of God ( and the word of God being God himself (John 1:1) and him becoming flesh (John 1:14) and the existence of sin (1John 1:8) 2. You are obedient towards Gods commandments (2:3; since this is our love shown towards God that we keep his Commandments (5:3) and to love God above all else is the greatest commandment (Matt 22:37)) 3. You believe in Christ Jesus as your only hope in your salvation (3:23) 4. You love your brother (4:8,11; because loving your brother is the evidence of Gods love inside of you (4:7)❤️) 5. You hate and flee from sin (5:18) My brother in Christ put your hope in Christ Jesus and nothing shall happen to you. Do not partake in anything evil and know that you are crucified with Christ (Gal 2:20) and you don’t have to obey your fleshly desires because in Christ you have overcome the world since Jesus is greater than the one in the world! (1John 5:4) Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Gal 5:16). Pray so may not fall into temptation for the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak (Matt 26:41) Know that in every temptation God has provided a way out (1Cor 10:13) so you may not have to give into! But also know that if you have sinned and confessed it to God, God is faithful to forgive and cleanse you from all of your trespasses (1John 1:9). So if you sin, don’t fear condemnation (there is none if you are in Christ - Rom 8:1) but go to your father in heaven and confess it ( which means to agree with him, that the sin you committed is bad and evil; confession is not just an apology but more of a repentant heart posture to admit that you are a sinner and need mercy and grace of God in that particular case❤️) I would highly encourage you to look up the scriptures and facts I’ve shared so you may know the truth by yourself. Also anyone reading this, if I made an mistake please correct me❤️ God bless you and I will pray for you❤️❤️

[@ryancheah9357]

I will keep you in my prayers, I've been there before man, what I did I just kept on reading my word, praying and talking to God, and as I kept on doing that I realized I was getting more focused on the Lord. I would also ask in prayer to help you stay focused on God and his word because I know that really helped me, but I don't know your exact situation. If you are comfortable with sharing why you feel that way, I would love to hear! God bless! Also I have felt disconnected to God because I was watching all these people doing things that I haven't and I was comparing myself to them when I should've just focused on what God says and how God views me!

[@ALYSSA-xz3ur]

Sometimes when we feel disconnected we have remember that no matter how far we run, God is always near. ( Psalm 139:7-9) I know it’s really hard to get back on track when you feel like that and it may take some time but remember that nothing can or will separate us from the love of God. Even though you may feel this away try to keep reading your Bible and talking to God.

[@m7rpho]

when i feel disconnected, i listen to gospel music to get me excited about God!! maybe read your bible after or during! or even pray about it! sending you love and hugs

[@s-melody2510]

Whenever I feel disconnected, I remind myself of God’s word, and how he says he would never leave us. (Deuteronomy 31:6) Remember friend, Faith over feeling. If you know you’ve been spending time with God, getting deeper into his word, talking to him more, exercising and strengthening your Faith, then you would definitely feel him. But when they time comes when you feel like he’s not there, remember the verse I mentioned. (Deuteronomy 31:6) I feel the same way sometimes. Just because you don’t feel him, doesn’t mean he isn’t there. If you want to talk more, I wouldn’t mind :)

Honestly, this kind of language did affect the way I looked at other Christians. Many times when I just wanted someone to talk to about something I was dealing with , someone would use this sort of language with me. I don't really know how to describe how I felt about it... other than just awkward. I didn't want them to talk to me like they were the middleman between me and God but just as another human who might have some advice or wisdom to share. Overtime I thought "Is every Christian like this..?" and at some points in my life I just felt maybe it's better to walk this faith journey alone because I don't feel like I can relate to those kinds of people. But, I know better now. Community is important and we can bring each other up when we are struggling, even if we don't necessarily talk the same or "walk the same".

[@EvangelistAidan]

Hebrews 10:25 don't forsake the assembly of ourselves; fellowship is important to mature in the faith. Also try not to compare yourselves to other people because that can really stumble you in your walk with Christ, I used to do the same.

[@harrykellett2061]

Hey bro, this is a little bit of a long one but I hope you give it a chance You said it yourself brother. Your interpretation of the word daddy is sexual. There's nothing inherently wrong with the word daddy, just your Interpretation of it. Look at the way little boys talk to their father, they call them daddy, why? Because it's an intimate form of language. So if God is my Father, can I not come to him as a child and be intimate with him calling him daddy? My interpretation of the word daddy isn't sexual, why? Because it's not, people who don't know Jesus might use it sexually, that doesn't mean that I have to let what other people define what a word means. People in the world use 'Jesus Christ', as a swear word, but what they do with a word, doesn't determine what it means. I didn't grow up with a father, he left when I was 2. There is something so special and intimate about being able to approach your heavenly Father, and actually believe that he loves you like a Father loves his child. In different environments different words can be used. I'm not gonna refer to God as daddy if I'm out evangelising. But if I'm in my room, and I'm meeting with him, why shouldn't I trust in him and be intimate with him and show that intimacy through my words. Father Dad Daddy They are just words brother, hope you give this thought a chance.

There is no difference, unless you have a stipulation on the word, 'daddy', if that's the case, then it's the way you relate to the word that is wrong, the word isn't wrong in it's nature.

[@nataliecates7800]

@@virginiasanchez4614 it's not that women can't be pastors & 1 Corinthians is not the only book to take into account for this matter. Women can be leaders, pastors, can be called by God to lead in a church, but from what I understand is it's a matter of not being a senior pastor in the church. Churches don't always have just one pastor, but sometimes multiple. It always is & probably always will be a controversial topic, but if a woman is called by the Lord to lead in a church, then she is to lead in that church. Also, look at the history of the time Paul was speaking, women did not have many rights, either, at that time. So we could also argue that it just wasn't appropriate for women to lead a church at that time, now days, we have many female leaders in all aspects of life, we almost even had a female president. But reguardless, a woman can very much have the calling of a pastor, but it's not biblical for a woman to lead over a man, therefore, the head pastor should be a male. I am still looking into this matter, too, but this is what I have came across in my understanding of it. So I also encourage you to also keep looking into what the Bible says about it. Also, if the woman pastoring is speaking in accordance to the Word of God, then there honestly isn't much of an issue. The main issue would be, is what they are speaking lining up with the Word of God or not? Not a matter of if a woman is to be a pastor or not, as yes, that is important, but rather not as important as is she properly spreading the Word.

[@amarikristopher8409]

Well it is a part of God’s plan. I get the feeling, but it’s best to accept every pain, disaster, troubling thing you go through is what God has to do in order to bless you. You can’t be blessed when you’re happy and healthy. He has to allow hurt to come your way to heal you. He has to let others upset or harm you in order to remind us He loves us and is always there for us even through dark times. It’s best to stay positive and smiling through the pain. Because God and Jesus have done the same. You shouldn’t get angry or sad for it may seem as though you’re not grateful for what He’s doing and has done to and for you.

[@user-cf3mk2yu3t]

@@amarikristopher8409 How so? Genuine question. God uses hurt and pain to teach us things but this sounds like it's a necessity to go through pain. If we were perfect than we wouldn't sin, thous we wouldnt need to endure pain. Through sin there is pain, as consequences of our behaviour, it being used or let by God. Also is pain really necessarily for us to remember that he loves us? If we behaved accordingly and dont let sin overtake us there wouldn't be any need for it. Sin seperates us from God. Without sin there wouldnt be seperation from God. I am not quiet sure I understand your comment.

[@s-melody2510]

This video stood out to me. Since I’m on KZbin often and Im now starting to watch more sermons and things related to Christ, I asked God to put videos in my KZbin recommend that would help me realize sins I don’t know I’m committing and would give me an easier and full understanding on what I need to fix. And when you started talking about how we actually need to communicate with others when we say we’re going to pray for them and when you mentioned “Those who are poor in spirit will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven”, and talked about the opposite like those who are hypocritical and think they got it all don’t inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, I feel like that really spoke to me. So I went into his Word and started looking at verses that seemed to connect with what I was thinking. I talked to God and thanked him for answering my prayers and asked him to help me overcome those unknown sins one by one.

[@invictusjones7933]

I think it's a dangerous thing to say what believers should and shouldn't say. I agree that some people are saying spiritual things and have no relationship with Jesus. But we are to be set apart and having a conversation around someone who does not know Jesus or our walk with him is not going to feel comfortable. It's not because of our words it's because they are not walking with Him. That might be the only conversation they ever hear about Jesus, we shouldn't stop because someone doesn't feel included.

If God told you, God told you. Why is that even a problem?

[@lorenslorens1707]

Sometimes it can be shared when you thought God told you something, but also sometimes satan can use this sinful body and influence it, so be ready to discern which the only way we can be good at that, is through The Holy Spirit of Jesus

[@elyaneschou4750]

False teachers like Kenneth Copeland say things like that (GoD ToLd Me iN MY DrEam). The problem with this is it's not comparable to what the bible says how dreams or other words of God used to sound like. Most of the time when church members or leaders say things like that it is often a decoy and not a truth they want to tell ya. So be careful and watch out if it's coherent with the biblical doctrine.

[@black-k8586]

And the "God told me that... " can put pressure on the one who is listening to it because he'll directly think they it is a order from God, but in reality it was a misunderstood from you who thought that God told you this, or a false teaching from a demon and everything else. So we have to be careful with this phrase, if not it'll put pressure on the other(s)

[@black-k8586]

For example : God told me that we'll get married or that you have to go there. But actually it was wrong and God wasn't the one who told you but the flesh or Satan, I want to say that we have to be careful with this sentence. But I'm not saying that we shouldn't give our advice if it comes from God, but to be careful with how we start to share it accompanied to this phrase

[@GODMODELAGGER]

@@black-k8586 sadly false teachers always use this tactic. As for me throughout my life I get these "spidey senses" except its like a feeling of what will happen in the future. I know hoe off that sounds but every time I get those whatever i felt would happen ends uo happening. I'd even hear a voice but in my mind telling mr about what's to come and it always comes. I've learned to discern from my thoughts and the commands and discernment of God. I hope everyone else does too because it can be dangerous falling into deceit.

I love "im going to talk to God about your situation" that's so good and reassuring even for me because id love to wait on the spirit to actually speak through me than my own intelligence giving them what I "think" God would say

[@jesuschristnumber1574]

It's so hard to transition from the "spiritual" talk so that Unbelievers and those who think they are Believers aren't uncomfortable. It's like, when I first heard GOD's audible voice, I wanted to shout it to the rooftops. Not even church folk want to hear. I mean, I have been reborn only 2.5yrs and church people act strange sometimes. I can't even share what I've learned, particularly about his judgements. They are obviously in the Bible but pastors rarely touch on them. The "word" really captivated me but fall on dull ears. I pray that the LORD helps me with the delivery needed for certain audiences. 👀🙏🔥💯

[@StEmS509]

At the end of the day no matter what believers say to unbelievers God is the one changing hearts, redeeming sinners, granting salvation through grace. I'm imperfect person, I mess up daily, praying to God that I won't be a stumbling block rather a helping hand planting my seeds for the Father. God bless you all.

One of my old mentors would really be going hard praying and whenever he’d slip in a “daddy God” I’d be like 👀 It’s such an innocent term coming from pure intentions but the world just perverted the word so much that it just makes me uncomfortable. A ton of people at my Bible college used it and I eventually warmed up to the phrase but the first few times took me for a turn lol

[@D04137]

This is very true. The world has perverted that word. But if a Christian uses it in a innocent way it doesn’t matter

[@marjorie5677]

I didn't even know that the word daddy was sexualised so a kid calls God daddy that means it's wrong with pure intentions

[@ItsNadineLifes]

I use to call God "Heavenly Daddy" and I was pretty used of saying It. And one night I had a dream. I'm at my church and I'm walking behind my pastor and he turn to me and said, "God said I'm your Spiritual Daddy" and from that time I've been calling him Spiritual Daddy or Daddy Yahaweh or "Daddy" because that's who HE is, and that's who He has been to me. And it depends on your relationship with him. But God has been more of a Daddy to me then my earthly daddy. And if people think it to be SEXUAL it's because your thinking from a fleshly carnal mindset. We call Him Abba which means Daddy or Father. Honestly it's how comfortable you feel with him that's all.👌🏾🖤💯

[@hidinginsight1879]

In a convo with a phone customer service rep, I used the phrase "God is Good" referring to my slow, painful process of treating ongoing Melanoma. That wonderful Representative immediately perked up and said "Yes, God IS GOOD". The call was blessed from that moment on and we connected in a way far beyond the actual business at hand. Her name is Erica with the Mazda Airbag Recall Dept., and that's all I know about her, but truly we knew each other like dearest sisters of heaven during that talk. If she ever sees this post as a result of God's divine guidance, . . . HEY, SISTER, I'M STILL ALIVE AND YOU WERE MY MUCH NEEDED MIRACLE THAT DAY. Maybe it's cliche to use such phrases in general public, but there are some of us "OGz" that thrive on that phrase when shared just between us. In everything there is a time and a season and in every living thing God has a reason.

Calling God "Dad", "Daddy", such names like that is like taking God down to our human level.

[@sarahcloud444]

@@cristianvaldez4235 I don’t agree, though most of the time I just call him “Father” or “Lord”. :) occasionally I’ll call him “Dad”. I usually call him “Father” or “Lord” not to be formal, but as a sign of respect. When I call him “Dad” I feel comfortable with expressing my love for him or how I feel at home and comfortable with him, as an intimate name because of our relationship. For me it’s only at right times when i feel comfortable with calling him “Dad”, but most of the time I just call him “Father” or “Lord”. Mostly “Lord” because it means “master” and I feel it shows my respect for God as he is my master. :) I don’t think calling him “Dad” or “Daddy” brings him down to a human level or anything like that, it’s just an intimate or loving name because you are so close to God and have a good relationship with him as your father. 😊

[@jboyd8224]

I feel like people should ask themselves why they feel that way. It seems like an internal issues rather than external. I’m sure OP doesn’t feel weird when his children call him daddy. I just think about all the adults that grew up without fathers and didn’t have the luxury of experiencing a father’s love and these people get to a place where they feel comfortable with calling God something comfortable to them (which I think is a sign of their relationship). Then people out here shaming them for it because they have preconceived ideas attached to a harmless word. It sucks that people are out here making folks feel bad and policing their intimacy with God. Ironically, it’s *people* that are off put by it. I can’t speak for God, otherwise I’d be just like everyone else policing words (which I do agree some language can have negative impacts), but he probably delights in it... since Dad/Daddy is another word for Father. They are synonyms.

This was very eye-opening to me. Recently I started a bible plan with many youth members and leaders. All but one of those people have been in Church for a long time at this point. This one person’s discussion posts I have often described to people as from someone who doesn’t know the Christian lingo. He doesn’t sound like other Christians because he is newer to the faith and hasn’t been in Church long. It is sad that I often associate how Christian someone souds with how spiritual they must be, and I need to check my heart about that and now I feel like I have a better understanding thanks to this video. I should not be ashamed of my friend who doesn’t have the lingo down, because that should not be important, in fact, it’s exclusive. Thank you for this video Alex!

Hey! I’ve realized that every conversation I’ve had I always brought up the subject of someone and their problems (in a gossiping way), how I do change that and what do we talk about without talking about Christ?

If you do talk about someone talk about them how you would like to be talked about when you aren’t around.

As a young Believer, Profanity comes from the people next to me, but when I think of how Jesus spoke, he spoke nothing of harm but still struck fear into his followers. I can learn from this by learning that not everything that the devil puts on your tounge needs not to be spoken.

I was a little bit confused at first when I watched this video but I do agree on certain language we should use when we are around nonbelievers because we can come off as better than or like Alex said exclusive.
