Amanda Lindsey Cook - For the Love of Beauty | Teaching Moment

[@saraphinavictoria]

You know what's so fun is that a rainbow IS a symbol of God's mercy. His throne is surrounded by a rainbow of mercy ❤

[@Ritermann]

What do mean by all that?

[@felicialally5703]

Wow. It totally is. Amen.

[@newbreed9454]

Love, you said that🙌🙏

[@pattyfisher8839]

I just love hearing Amanda talk and sing about God. I think she should write a book on worship. i would totally run for it

[@BohemianKitsch]

She is the enlightenment the church needs so desperately. LOVE ANYWAY. there is a lot of wrong in the world. LOVE ANYWAY.

[@Joythealchemist]

this woman is incredibly wise . my God this is a woman filled with Gods wisdom

[@JustInTimeMinistries]

Wow, no wonder Amanda Cook from Bethel Music​ is one of the most revolutionary song writers and singers Ive ever heard.

[@chattykathie7129]

now I know why her songs are so moving and changing. she is deep and so insightful.

[@nyashamunangatire4608]

I loved this talk sooo much. It ignited my heart and soul incredibly. What a way she has with words and language. She's a generational gift. Heart full xo

[@absent10552]

wow there were so many things she said that lined up exactly with what's happening with me lately. The way she articulates ideas is so amazing- i really appreciate her intellect!! I'm not even an artist/musician, but this wrecked me beautifullly- just last night I wrote in my journal that my biggest desire is to sit at a dinner table and talk with people, and Ifelt guilty because it sounded selfish. But God brought me to this, when she went in and talked about dinner table at 25:05 . How dinner music sets the environment, hearts, and for people to get to know God. This whole thing just affirms that bc we have the Holy Spirit, our life naturally portrays God, even when we feel like we are disconnected or not following the Spirit, we are A LIGHT. thank you so much, Amanda. God is so crazy.......He loves to bless us

[@glorious6779]

Karen Wise that is just incredible!! Confirmation. Praise God!!

[@emilygrace3526]

I've listened to this video at least 3 times now. It's what inspired me to write songs, and now it's what's keeping me motivated to continue writing. Thank you so much for this.

[@soniabhattacharya1704]

AAAHH... THIS WAS GOD SPEAKING TO ME! THIS JUST SET ME FREE FROM SO MANY THINGS. PRAISE JESUS. MASTER THE CRAFT AND THEN BREAK THE RULES!!! WOW!

[@poetic-prayers]

God's heart is what is going to draw others to Him. In the presence of His love everything that is not of His Kingdom melts away. He is focused on the root and end result of a process. Many times we get stuck in the actual process and how it is going to happen where we should leave that to Him to complete. Thank you for shining a different perspective and also reminding us of the childlike quality of the Kingdom. It is that purity and fruits of the Spirit which will lead others into His Kingdom.~'Heaven rides in on a melody' ♡

[@kacyaguirre5120]

This message is flippin incredible!!! Thank you, Amanda Cook!

[@lanceCoyle]

What a wonderful and spot on description of the purpose of music and how it relates and transforms us all as God’s creations. What an encouraging talk. I come from being a musician for about 49 years, and it’s great to hear this beautiful light of a message from Amanda that shines through the darkness of the world. It has restored me from my extreme disappointment with ‘ministry’ and all that that has become ( having been in the ministry for 37 years). Thank you, Amanda, and God bless your every moment and continue to empower you in your divine call 🙏🏻

[@newbreed9454]

You blow my mind Amanda,but you music ,champion of heaven,and something push to find you and hear what you will say👍🙌🔥🔥more Grace and fireworks woman of God.

[@Chryslerdealership]

I'm only 5 minutes in, and this is so edifying. As a songwriter, I really needed this. The Holy Spirit is so strong in her words!

[@talentmaniacreatives]

Powerful. Much love from Nairobi, Kenya...

[@billierichardson6844]

This is exactly how I found music and worship!!!

[@Brooklynbaby47]

As an actor, song writing has many similar layers. They are both beautiful forms of Art! ;) Thanks for uploading this!

[@chattykathie7129]

this is true about all areas of life not just worship, playing, singing etc but being a mother, daughter, etc good stuff

[@lauriecampbell4104]

Lol I seem to always be close to the last one in ,its all good ,it’s part of my identity . My ppl have only called in my me out on it once . I was late for Christmas by 4 days , and they endear me . That in my world is love . I have to say it I was in a dark place and it’s was years ago , so it just is !! It’s was a test and I have to say I learned a lot from it .I listened to your other teaching identity in Christ . It is very refreshing and inspiring to listen to you what I have in my heart soul and mind . This has always been in my heart that when we have finished our work here on earth , that gravity will let go for myself and my guides and go to the portal to get home to see may creator and my loved ones who have gone before me and welcome me with no judgement just unconditional love and of coarse music . Just a blurb , I was raised in a Roman Catholic , Celtic , souther Alberta , ranchers kind of life and I’m sure you know exactly what I’m bantering about . Thank you for your articulation and sharing , and nudging me to go with the people in my cloud today . Makes me a stronger awesome me . A souther Alberta Canadian lady that is inspired and grateful to hear in words something that’s been in my heart for ( hmmmm ) a decade or so . 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Laurie C

[@chiquimaravillas453]

[@bectaylor9677]

[@والنوريجهرالظلمة]

After this my life as a a worship leader and song writer is changed forever. Grateful!

[@jacknarloch9879]

This is sooo good and so affirming! I just started leading worship and writing songs, and most of them are just prayers and deep authentic wrestles straight from my heart a lot of times out of trial and brokenness

[@newbreed9454]

Amanda this message can change a lot of preacher's idea(religion),love you Amanda🔥🙏

[@juliet.1588]

LOVE WINS OUT!! Amen In Jesus Name - Mahalo from Maui - so clear Sister

[@TYR3Nmusicofficial]

This is so good and blessed me

[@Maranathabritishcolumbia]

AMAZING! This speaks to me so vividly! Thank you, Amanda!

[@shalomchipepera6733]

Thanks Amanda you truly inspire me to write honest heartfelt songs to God. i.e Pieces

[@abdelkaderbakhti2099]

The video that has changed my life. Thank you.

[@ArabellaRios]

Honestly people are completely overlooking what she said about homosexuality, she clearly stated that they don't realize what they're prophetizing when they say "love wins" of course it does. Love covers a multitude of sins, when people understand Gods love upon their lives, there is a transformation, there is change. I've never seen someone who has experienced Gods love remain the same so a homosexual that realizes this will not keep walking in their old ways but will seek to live for God meaning they will seek his commands.. at least that's my take on what she said and I agree. Love wins not for homosexuals to think that what they are doing is okay, but the day will come when they will be touched by Gods grace and their eyes will be opened... Gods love always wins!!!

[@KapuaKuheana]

ArabellaRios || you said it, sister. “When people understand Gods love upon their lives, there is transformation, there is change.”

[@jacobhicks7319]

exactly, some people are so quick to interpret what she says in their own way and then speak it as truth.

[@dirkhoekstra727]

A very philosophical interpretation on music and art. Music is the only thing on Earth that existed before the existence of the Earth.

[@angelasturn]

Love this even after 3 years

[@thivicente]

Would you guys please post the last Sneek Peek (2014, 2015) ? It would be useful and outreach the ones who's interested in learning more about worship... God bless ya! Come to Brazil! 😉

[@Levipf2]

amanda is so pretty

[@leahc9452]

does anyone know which book was she talking about in 7:17?

[@seeuagain3292]

I’m a new fan and came across this by chance and started watching. The part where she talks about divine inspiration and echos ...did she have awakening written [in heart] at that point? Seems it.

[@suek5226]

Is there anybody know the title of the book that she mentioned?

[@878a100]

Who are the authors of War of Heart? :) Thank you, Amanda. And thank you to the people, who filmed her and uploaded this Video.

[@iamkatehurley]

I think it's the War of Art by Stephen Pressfield. It is such a good book...one of the best on creativity.

[@KatelynDawn]

hehe... she is from Niverville Manitoba which is super close to my hometown Steinbach!

[@preciousamorpiscador1474]

I don't think that she meant homosexuality is okay to God. "Love wins" means love can transform them and that the gay community will arrive to clarity and healing because love (God) always wins. And mercy triumphs over judgement.

[@anjiisoriano3282]

Or maybe God’s mercy triumphs over the church’s homophobia and love wins 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ComfortOI]

Amanda God really bless YOU!! all the way from Nigeria. Also, I understand the misunderstanding that can arise from the homosexuality bit, but it was almost like a prophecy/ word for the now and beyond of the Father waiting with arms open for everyone in sin who may even feel so far gone to come back, that at the end of the day, over our lives, His mercy wins over judgment forever and ever. It is not taking advantage of the Father but what is available in Jesus, His never-ending love.

[@rickyvalentine6588]

the singer from star light i love amanda cook

[@Jubileejoy1912]

+Timothia darling It's called "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. She starts talking about the book at 32:32. :)

[@VanGolliaz]

[@jonascasch]

Sorry for not getting it but now what´s her Statement to homosexuality and the bill? English is not my mother´s language so I din´t quite get everything:-)

[@mmmkay7337]

+Jocash Felder She didn't really make a statement about homosexuality.... She just said "Love wins". (So I guess she is PRO homosexuality). Later she said that she don't want to talk/sing about this topic

[@jonascasch]

mmmkay Well I guess she meant God´s love that will win but thanks:-)

[@chelseaappiah7446]

Jocash Felder She meant that she was asking for mercy for the individuals struggling with their sexuality, and asking that God have mercy on the homosexual community...

Would you please pray for me. Helene

[@sabina_dawson]

"Is that make sense?" (c) Amanda

[@sonywest1007]

lol... when the bill got passed for gay marriage, I actually did have a dream that morning and the theme was mercy.

[@priscarogi2183]

what gay marriage has to do with the mercy of God? So because God is merciful, He is ok with homosexualty and same-sex marriage? what message does she want to pass on here? if she is for homosexuality does it make it right in the eyes of God? What Amanda saying is so deceitful.

[@haa7298]

no what she trying to say is that homosexuality is wrong and that the church which accepts homosexuality needs grace that is why she sang about mercy. That is how i unterstand it

[@priscarogi2183]

I understand the total opposite. It is not clear what she is trying to say about hosexual marriage.

[@jerryrod9]

What I thought of it is even though people are marrying the same sex, God is a merciful God & a person can never go too far from him to be redeemed, washed, & wiped clean of their judgment because of his mercy, which triumphs over judgment (James 2:13)

[@priscarogi2183]

do you know God says about homosexuality? so, if youlive in impudicity, do not want to repent but instead choise to even claim your sin has a right, then when you will die God will accept you in heaven because of His mercy? do you know what Godsays about homosexuality?

[@lifewithmesarahmarie]

I think what she's saying is in the face of homosexuality there is SO MUCH judgement and at the end of the day for every single human being on this planet, His mercy triumphs over that judgement completely into an unconditional everlasting love for His children. #LoveWins because HE is victorious and the very definition of HIM is LOVE.

[@IISuperLove]

Akiane Kramarick said that after she went to heaven, classical music sounded horrible.

[@DanielHernandez78398]

No Bible !!!what tipe of teaching is this??

[@AbcAbc-nv9kz]

Patience is a virtue.

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

this is a teaching on songwriting not a sermon

[@danielawilliams5988]

...but not all inspiration comes from God. In reg to secular vs Godly music. I wouldn't go into the holy of holies singing Beyonce...might fall dead...just sayn.

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

luckily Jesus has made us Holy of Holies, the place where God's Spirit may dwell

[@ev_green_]

ugh can we stop saying "religion" like it's a bad thing 😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧

[@jacobhicks7319]

Religion i s bad, Jesus preached against it. Faith and spirituality are what is good and what Jesus wanted for us.

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

religion is bad. Jesus is against religion
