I was just praying about this a few minutes ago before I saw this yes this is for me, I went back to sinning willfully and I am praying for forgiveness. too long to far that's enough Lord God I repent for my sins

I have been telling God I can’t and refuse to go to a church that doesn’t preach repentance and salvation. I will not sit in a church that make ppl comfortable with their sins. All my life I wished someone cared enough to come for me. It has always been God directly.

I'm a town house cracker, but man, Tony is the only pastor I can listen to. Nothing against my fellow Caucasian believers, but Tony is just sincere & genuine. While my mom was still on this earth, she would always try to get me to watch & listen to Tony. I was always a believer but was living & somewhat still do live in sin. When she passed, I just started diving into his sermons & watching his videos. Just have to say God bless ya Tony. You make it easier to understand & crack me up at the same time l with the "watch this now" lol. 🤘🏼🙏🏼

I was taught as a christian to trust in Jesus because he is our savior, he died for our sins. I will always hold on to my faith. Even when it’s hard. Please pray for me. My husband passed away years ago. I’m a single mother. Both of my sons are autistic and non verbal. Heavenly Father I know you don’t give us no more than we can handle. I know I’m a spiritual being in a physical body. But Lord have mercy on me. Since covid I can’t seem to get back on my feet. I was fired from my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my lupus and I also have a heart condition. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to get by. Every month is a struggle not to end up on the streets with my children. I’m struggling putting groceries in my refrigerator. Struggling to pay rent. I have no family nor friends to lean on. I’m so tired of struggling financially. I feel alone. I’m crying out to you LORD Jesus SAVE ME and my children from poverty and homelessness. Please hear my prayers. Walking with faith not by sight.

I needed this one quite a lot, I've been dealing with sins of my past and feeling like I never cared. I've been in thought and sorrow (not to levels of depression, but pretty close) as I don't know if I care about following God and whether or not I feel sorry for what I've done. The fact I care even a bit does remind me I'm not a hopeless case though. I could use prayers in getting the strength to stop drifting and come back proper.

I love this sermon how it explains how Christians we are our brothers keepers and we should try and pull them back to Christ. I myself have fallen into a depression because I feel that I have fallen into the cracks and I often tell my children that I will not even be missed I don't even think my congregation would even notice that I am suffering and or have left. Don't get me wrong I am very much strong in my belief in Jesus Christ I just don't feel any connection of concern, compassion, etc. And I know it's there because if you are well known and loved you see it but if you aren't you fall through the cracks. And yes I am fully aware that no one is perfect but my question is do you have to be perfect to show love, comfort , concern? Or is this just extended to the people that you know at least that was the message that was funny to me a person has to know you. So we are being added to the church of our Savior Jesus Christ and that is seasoned in Christ enough to know better how often we notice if we are brothers and sisters have even strayed away do we even care😢

Come back! We're running out of time. I fell away from God for years! When Hurricane Harvey hit, it was no ordinary storm I knew it was a warning. Then my mother came to me in a dream grabbed me by my arms and said, "You need to change your ways." 3 times, I knew it was a warning. Covid hit and I was face down on the floor repenting! The chess pieces are moving quickly overseas and the evil mean making thier plots. We can't even keep up with everything happening! The "Covenant of Many" is happening in September. About 2 weeks ago I'm laying on my sofa and I hear someone in my head say, "Carolina prepare your house." Nobody calls me Carolina, my family friends all call me Carrie. A couple of days ago pastor James Kaddis does a short video and he says in a loud voice, "Get your house in order!" Well, I can tell you my friend please repent! We are going to see some things we ain't never seen before. I'm a rapture believer, I recommend watching Chuck Missler Rapture on KZbin and watch the film documentary Before The Wrath. Come back please! I don't miss my past at all.

The CROSS signifies our acceptance of sufferings. 📖 1 Peter 2:21 📖 To this YOU were called, because Christ SUFFERED for you, leaving you an EXAMPLE, that YOU should follow in his steps. The CROSS was not a symbol of pride and honor, it was a symbol of dishonor and disgrace. It was not meant to be worn around your neck or tattooed in your flesh, it was to be CARRIED upon YOUR back! 📖 Luke 9:23 📖 And He (Christ) said to them all, If (ANY) man will come after Me, let him DENY himself, and take up his CROSS DAILY, and follow me.

16 To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue. 2 All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. 3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. 4 The Lord works out everything to its proper end- even the wicked for a day of disaster. 5 The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. 6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided. 7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way, he causes their enemies to make peace with them. 8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice. 9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. 10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle, and his mouth does not betray justice. 11 Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of his making. 12 Kings detest wrongdoing, for a throne is established through righteousness. 13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value the one who speaks what is right. 14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but the wise will appease it. 15 When a king’s face brightens, it means life; his favor is like a rain cloud in spring. 16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver! 17 The highway of the upright avoids evil; those who guard their ways preserve their lives. 18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. 20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,[a] and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. 21 The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction.[b] 22 Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools. 23 The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.[c] 24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. 25 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. 26 The appetite of laborers works for them; their hunger drives them on. 27 A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire. 28 A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends. 29 A violent person entices their neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good. 30 Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity; whoever purses their lips is bent on evil. 31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness. 32 Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city. 33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord. Amen.

[@jirensentry7609]

So i posted earlier, but the commer ial kicked out my reading. So I redo it with hope and obedience in love to God: So i understand this a lot better hearing this. James and Paul's point are in harmony (Jam. 5:19-20 and Gal. 6:1). They speak from Our LORD and God back in Matthew regarding the golden rule. Jesus is our Perfect Example and Highest Emplary Standard of Offspringship or seedship (coined 07/11/23 by me lol) as children of light. Christ came to go after we lost and unaware sheep. Once He did, we were kept in word, thought and deed. However, when a one such as a wanderer in the Spirit who goes thus away from His hope and keeeping, we who are obedient, mindful, renewed and keepers of light must go after that brother - sister - a lamb clumpsy in thought and action. Since Christ is our True and Good Shepperd, we then as under-shepperds follow un love, His example by doing what He did for us - restoring someone to fellowship, communion and priestly service of a divine standard. Think of Balaam as the one going astray - if we could even consider him as redeemed in that day - saw and in seeing have been explained God's will, but in sin he went astray. The donkey is one faithful trying to turn him away from continuing in his straying. As Tony speaks @:, the Angel with the sword before the donkey (the Believer) who sees God's marker as a barrier, the angel represents what Tony mentions there in this loving, powerful sermon. A better example is David and Nathan. So we are commanded by God, by Truth, by the reality of the Way and the Life to go after that one straying. He/she are traveling a diverging path he has made that if they dont repent, leads further and further away until they finally reach the broad road that leads to destruction. As they walk further away, the deeper into the muck and mire they find themselves falling into. You being holy in Christ restore them by going after the one and not the 99, but while you do, you are very mindful to dodge and overstep the footprints of the straying one that you too do not get caught in confusion. So, this is beautiful. Thank you Jesus and Holy Spirit for teaching Tony and givmfting him to see Your context and explain your expectations.

[@truth4LIFE777]

VI•SION: the state of being ABLE to SEE. A•BLE: having the POWER or opportunity to do something. Jesus once said "Without a VISION of Himself, the people will perish." 📖 Proverbs 29:18 📖 Where there is NO VISION, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. This text in Proverbs29:18 is an excellent passage but often MISUSED from its original contextual meaning. Its meaning has been twisted to mean something else, and many Christians may NOT even know the original intention and biblical PURPOSE of this passage. When you compare this verse to other versions of the Bible, it becomes clear that the intention of this verse is NOT about PERSONAL, CHURCH or BUSINESS VISIONS. Instead, it is talking about the prophetic REVELATIONS of God. The Lord has graciously provided His children with the POWER and OPPORTUNITY to SEE and know Him through the Holy scriptures. According to Proverbs 29:18, God's divine purpose for sustaining the lives of the Christians is for them to continue FOCUSING their actions and behaviors on the eternal things of God and NOT the temporal things of this fallen world that they may avoid perishing. (1 John 2:15) 📖 2 Corinthians 4:4 📖 The god (satan) of this age has blinded the MINDS of unbelievers, so that they CANNOT SEE the light of the GOSPEL that displays the GLORY of Christ, who is the image of God. The true gospel of Jesus Christ simply pulverizes the unbiblical prosperity gospel 😁 Sent with much LOVE, take care and God bless ❤️🙏🏾
