I WAS JUST WRITING AN INSTAGRAM NOTE ABOUT WANTING TO BE A GOOD DAD AND THIS WAS THE NOTIF 😭 God is good ✝️

I was abandoned on the street of china at the age of 1 by my birth parents. never had a father until God provided me an earthly father at the age of 13. I am grateful for my adopted father, but I am even more grateful for my Heavenly Father who took care of me for 12 years, being an orphan in china.

I'm only 23 years old. I've never dated a single woman in my life. I feel like God has a time for when I'll have a gf. God wants me to spend more time with him and enjoy life according to his words. I'm in no rush to find a girlfriend or wife, but when I do get myself a loving gf and eventually wife, I want to take responsibility by showing my kids and wife, the concept of who God is. I'll remember to look back at this video when I do happen to get engaged and have kids of my own. Keep on preaching, brother. 🙏🏼 😇

im a 13 yo girl but still watching since these videos are so informational lol

God thank you for being my Dad❤

As a fatherless woman, these are the things which I painfully longed for growing up and still do to this day. So please, fathers or aspiring fathers, take your roles seriously and be there for your family. Family is a blessing when it functions as God meant it to be. Don’t be the cause of pain and anger on your childs life for the rest of its life. It is a pain to be fatherless, so don't be that dad that abandones. Thank you for sharing these things.

Hi Miles's dad, you have a great son and he is doing a wonderful job. You should be so proud of him-thank you.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

HIIIII MILES' dad thank God and thank you for creating such an incredible man. Honestly I don't know where I'd be without his ministries. It's helped me through a lot especially coming back from my sin of lust by understanding who God is and how the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus redeemed me. I was taught how to repent and how to remind myself daily of his love for me so I no longer have a desire or need to fill an emptiness with earthy desires rather than filing it with the word of God. Thank you all and may God bless you 10 fold 🙏🏾🫶🏽. Also God answered my prayers because I'm not a father, not even close to be but just yesterday I literally googled "how a Christian man disciplines a child" and here comes this video to teach me more than I asked for. God truly works in mysterious ways and I Love God with all my heart, Soul, Mind and Strength. To everyone who took the time to read this and many more that watches the ministries I pray whatever you're going through may God always be first in everything you do through the trials and tribulations in Jesus name I Pray Amen.

I want to be a dad one day when I get older (I am a college student). This really helped me prepare early for that moment.

The part about favoritism is something that a lot of families need to hear

Hi, Miles' Dad! :) I'm very thankful for my own Dad who, while not perfect, did exactly like stated in this video. He put God first in his life, took good care of my Mom, and is a godly example of a manly man. Thanks, Heavenly Father for my earthly father!

I sadly grew up without a father.... however my mom helped me find a men's ministry at my church and I now have someone as my father figure and I feel so happy! I hope to be a great father someday ❤️✝️

I’m 35 and was delivered from a lifestyle of homosexuality and I am just now beginning to wrap my mind around the fact that I may have a wife and be a father. These are things I never imagined for myself before, so I thank you for this video because perhaps one day I will need it. Always love your videos! 🙏🏾💜🧎🏾✝️🪨🤍🙌🏾

Watching this as a woman who wants to be a wife and mother. I really want to start looking for the right signs and marry a godly man who will be a loving husband and father.

I love how he included The Lord being an example of a good father ❤

Hi Miles' dad. We love you so much and appreciate all you sacrificed for your son and the rest of your family. Miles is a true blessing to us. And that makes you a blessing to us too. We love you so much❤

Also, my dad (no name shown) is sometimes a very poor role model, and I feel as if he loves me more than God. I'm hoping that I can be a much better father in the future, and I wish the best for my dad.

Once I was at my job at mcdonalds and saw a dad watching his kids play. They weren't yelling or causing problems but just playing slow freeze tag in the restaurant. They were polite and got out of my way to get me clean, they were very considerate. I then asked the dad for any tips and he said to to them you love them, spend time with them, show no favoritism

hes gonna be such a good dad

As someone who wants to be a father someday, I've been worried about what to do if my future children turn away from God. 19:03 really spoke to me. "Setting an example" REALLY applies here, since you're showing them why it's good to follow God, instead of just telling them that they should.

Putting this video out while I got issue with my mom tell me it ain't a coincidence, I hope you will do one about how to be a good mother because this video is really interesting

I asked God to prepare me for my future wife and he sent me this video😮 God is good✝️❤️‍🔥

I just looked this up a little earlier to study up for the future to be a dad and this is a great blessing

As a guy with no dad and willing to do anything to not fall in my fathers footsteps this is such a helpful video. Thanks Impact Ministries!❤

I am bingewatching these videos. God bless 🙏🙏🙏 Greetings from Brazil🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

This is so sweet!! And Happy Belated Father's Day to all the dads out there!!!

Hi to your DAD 👋

I wish this is who my father is

Hi Miles Dad ! Thanks for being a good dad for your son. Jesus Loves you !

Im 19 and hope to be a father one day. This video really helped thank you

Hi Miles's Dad! Thank you for being a Godly father and respecting his decision. Thank you! His guidance through the Holy Spirit in his videos, have helped me and many others, especially students that I share his videos with in ways that we can't explain. May God bless you all abundantly. Praise God 🙌🏻🙏🏻🕊️✨❤️🇮🇳

Same my dad makes me do chores like crazy you are very right 😅😊🎉

I found out why my parents divorced, it took a bit but I forgave them. But, I still can’t shake off that one thought. *They never thought of me when signing that paper*

This is a good video for me since I want to be a dad one day and I need to learn how to be a good one.

18:38 HELLO 👋👋👋👋👋👋 I hope you guys have a blessing day!!! And God he loves you guys 💖💖

I’m 20 and in the military with a 1 year old daughter . I’m scared to fail her as a father, thank you for this video

Man Miles Dad was one smart man to train his kid with a gun at young age. While the hope is that Miles will never have to use it, you always need to be prepared for anything. 2020 has taught us this and life in general 💯!!! So in case Miles father is reading good job sir, you’ve trained your son well in both the Lord and firearm safety🙏🏾💯❤️!!!

Apologize. To be a good dad, you need to know how to apologize. My dad was a great dad who always said he was sorry if he messed up. I love my dad❤

Not a dad myself (yet!) but I *have* taken on some dad-like roles. I've volunteered with my church's kids program and as a summer camp counselor. And my first camper asked me a question that was more intelligent than he knew: "Oh, Joe, from the ice cream social! Can I call you Uncle Joe?" That's how I think of myself now when I'm playing these roles. I am not the father, I am not the babysitter, I am not just the friend or the boring adult in the room, I am the uncle. The fun one. The uncle they want to hang out with, not the one they have to be with because I'm the caretaker. My kids (and I use that term loosely) are not hanging out with me because they have to, they're hanging out with me because they want to. The kids I work with at church are excited to see me every week. I'm at church mostly on Wednesday nights while the adults have their Bible studies, and I heard a story of one family who wasn't going to come one week because the parents' study was cancelled, but the kids BEGGED to come anyway. We have campers keeping a countdown all year of the days until they can go back to camp. I've been told I'm one of the best counselors there. All in all, the kids I work with REALLY seem to love me. So if you're in a similar role, where you are an occasional caretaker to children but not their father, remember this first rule: *Think of yourself as the fun uncle.* (Or aunt, depending on your gender. Or grauntie / great-aunt or grunkle / great-uncle, depending on your age.) The second rule is about what you should be doing. You should be having fun yourself -- the last thing you should do is treat it like a job, because then you miss the genuine relationships with the kids in favor of the poor attitude that working with kids is boring, stupid, and/or exhausting. But you can't enjoy it so much that you neglect your duties as the adult in the room. The rule here is to *have almost as much fun as the kids.* I say almost, because there are times when you should be participating in games and activities with them and playing with them, but there are also times when you should be facilitating their own enjoyment of the time you have together or keeping them safe. And you should be ready to switch between those at a moment's notice. The third rule is about your relationship to the kids. Act as though the kids are your friends, and they will be your friends. Form a genuine connection with the kids you serve. Work to understand them as you would work to understand a friend. Talk at their level, but don't talk down to them because they are kids. I find that physically making myself lower, at their eye level, builds trust. Also, keep your word. Kids have very sensitive lie detectors. So the third rule is *Genuinely love the kids.* And the ultimate rule? It sums up all the others nicely, and is applicable to all of life. It's a rule that needs no explanation, so I'll just say it: *What Would Jesus Do?* Sometimes you want to ask variations of this question, like "What Would Jesus Say?" or "What Would Jesus NOT Do / Say?" But the point is the same. And if you're having trouble with this one, remember: *Jesus Loves The Little Children!*

I went to a deliverance yesterday and they prayed that I would be a good leader and father of my household.😊 woke up this morning with this video popping up in my feed. Praise God!

About those love languages, if I can expand that: I think the deeper point isn’t “know your partner’s love language and filter it through the book’s description of them.” I think it’s “know what your parter appreciates and values and show love to them through that.” Hope this helps!

This is so good. One of my greatest dreams is to be a father. And this video is full of amazing advice. :)

my dad when i was a kid he actually ignored most of me and my sibling due to work and he had alot of anger issues i felt much closer and comfortable with my mom i didnt want to be like my dad my dad was a catholic and my mother was a christian my dad tried to kind of threaten me into being a catholic and my mother said that its my choice and so i saw she was patient and accepting so i became a christian i promise to be a better father in the future and stick close to my daughter/son

Hi dad, thanks for raising Myles in a best way as you can. Thanks Myles dad

Greetings Miles' Dad! May God bless you and your family! You've been a great Dad to Miles and I can see how your love and obedience to God the Father has led your family to be a great blessing to many! Praise God! ❤️🙏🏻

What are critical hit from God to me. But May God Bless Everyone Have Faith In Christ Amen 🙏✝️❤️

i hope your dad is doing good, i hope him a good day, we all must take example from God The Father, for our Heavenly Father shows us the best influence, and we can pray for them to give us wisdom, and we can pray for them to help us love others, as he loves us.

I would encourage any dad or son to read Wild at Heart by John Eldridge, a Christian book about how God designed the heart of man when he created them and how we are wounded in this broken world. You talking about wishing your dad would come to your games reminded me of this book. In John's sequel book to WAH he talks about how the deepest desire every every young boy is to know that he is the beloved son, the apple of his dad's eye. These books have been incredibly healing for me, and I pray that someone will read this who needs those books. God bless.

Point 5 really touched me; I do have a dad, but he never took his time to teach & talk to me about practical things in life; and that really damaged and hurt me negatively in life. And now I'm working on fixing that part before I could have a family by the grace of God. I'm praying to God that it work's out. If I didn't knowJesus✝️ I would have been totally lost.

I’m 26 with a one year old. He is such a blessing.

I absolutely love these videos. Smart, awesome and most of all, the teachings are straight from God's Word. Thank you all at IVM ❤️❤️ You are phenomenal teachers and I'm super grateful I found you! Isn't God good to us ❤

Keep up the good work Impacted

im so glad i have a good dad, he inspired me to learn my creative skills, he was a good example, and he invited me to church, and he as an amazing testimony

Thank you so much. As a guy that almost turning 20, this will use this along with many others out there to learn how to be a good dad. I'm not quite sure if I want kids yet, but once again, this vid can be useful those who will. God bless you.

Thanks Dad for raising an awesome son. God bless 🙏

HI DAD❤

Sir your son has helped me follow God so much thank you so much for fathering him and thank you for raising him GOD BLESS HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH!!!!!!

You're going to be a great father man! I really like the point about different types of love. It's so important to understand children personally and to take genuine time to do so. Love your videos man, for sure saved me in some of my lowest moments.

Hello Miles' dad lol not that I need to say it, but you should absolutely be proud. Your son is doing God's work and it's greatly appreciated

Thank you Miles and thank you Miles his Dad. You have raised a great son and you can be proud of him. Thank you Miles for sharing your personal story. I have been struggling for so long and needed guidance but was so lost on my journey as a father. Your story has been of great value. God bless you and your family. Godspeed. I am truly grateful.

Jesus loves you too guys❤😢 I actually cried...oh gosh. Like, I really love my dad and yours...he's so cool. Thank God for our dads😭💔

Hi Myles’ dad. Your son’s teaching has been a real blessing to me. You did a great job and thank you. Stay blessed 🙏🏽

Hi DAD thank you for raising an Amazing son 😭❤️🙏

I love my 2 boys more than anything on earth. I'm trying to teach them how not to let anger get to them and to be calm and show love no matter who they are. Not easy but I'm sure repetition we'll get there. But I'm learning this all from our heavenly fathers word. They both know about god and they know that god lives them and my youngest said to me daddy I hope u don't mind but I love god more than u. And I said thats perfect that I wouldn't want it any other way. 😀❤ God bless u and all and thank u for these great videos.

Hi dad! You raised a good son.

this video spoke to me in such a powerful way. i currently have a dog that i look at almost like a son to me, and i haven’t been the most responsible “father” in that way, where i would be lazy or start preferring my wants over his needs. i would think about my urge to do that and worry how my behaviors would affect how i would treat my kids if/when i have them, but recently i’ve started buckling down on that habit and placed more effort to do what i’m supposed to. i have no one else but God to thank for that, and for directing me to this channel. i need to be placing more faith in God throughout my life, and your videos have helped me without fail in steering me back where i’m supposed to be. thank you so much. God first

Thank you so much for this video! And more thank to the man who respected and encouraged his son to support his mission and to open this KZfaq channel!!

Hi Miles's Dad. You did a great Job raising your son. Lord is using your son to be blessing to many. God Bless you both.

I was just struggling extra this week and even just had a conversation with my wife about having kids. I grew up in a bad home and my dad was not present in the home. So this video was an encouragement to me.

Great advice brother. I pray the Lord gives you a family of your own someday.

Every time you say at the end of your videos "Jesus loves you" it makes me want to cry. Thank you ❤

Hello to your dad! Great job, very proud of who your son has become. God bless you all!

Okay dude, just take a moment for reading this encouragement. You Are Gifted. It's amazing how you represent Bible knowledge, Christian Lifestyle, and just Truth. You deeply touch me with the talent you received from our Lord and God almighty!!! WHooo. Btw; I found your channel just today, and I already watched about 5 vids. keep them coming man! AND I hope and I'll pray for you that you may find enjoyment in the work you do, in your way of serving our God. You are filling you're place in the body of Christ and you support your fellow christians in their place. You are helping me on my journey. Sooo, that's it. I hope my English writing is good enough to understand. 😆 Allright that's it for tonight. Bless you! - Brother Ruben

My wife and I almost got divorced last year because I had both a huge anger problem and an untamed tongue for years. Because of one stupid nightmare, I had a meltdown and she became terrified of me and took our minor son to live several miles away with her mom and stepdad. It was only by the grace and love of God through the Holy Spirit that I both sought the correction I desperately needed and she heard about the changes in me through our minor son and adult daughter. (We have an adult son, too.) She and I talked for several hours one night months later and she ended the divorce the next morning. I failed, but God won.

My father died violently in front of me at the ripe old age of 9 years old. Having an absent and then abusive step father when my Mom remarried, God our heavenly Father is/was my Father. I have been a single father since my divorce, my starter wife when I retired from my beloved Marine Corps, and it's different with identical twin son's and being a single divorced father. I haven't always led by example, as a good Marine should. Having been a lukewarm Christian after my last deployment, I was so razzled out, I gave up. One foot in one foot out for years. God has renewed my joy for salvation. My twins are baptized and being confirmed. He is long-suffering and patient for our sake. In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen!

I love this so much, and the verse about not exasperating their children and some other points made I think can also apply to mothers or others who are raising kids but aren’t necessarily their father. Thank you for posting such an amazing vid 💙 Edit: Hi Miles’ Dad!

Your dad sounds amazing! It's really difficult for some of us that had really awful fathers to relate to a parent like the one you're describing in this video.

This was great 👍🏽 hello Dad. I thank the Lord for Dads like you and every blessing we received from your Son’s video. Thanks again Amen 🙏🏽 ❤️

Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been trying to find a video exactly like this for months so thank you so much!

If God puts it on your heart, please make a video for single parents. I really like your videos. I was able to get some great information from this one. I’m a single mother, and it would be great to hear more about how I should approach parenting my son. Also, it would be great to see a video geared towards teens and young adults about how to have a fruitful relationship with their parents. God is using you!

I didn't see this point made in your video, so I'll make it here: Your children will automatically believe that their Heavenly Father (God) is JUST LIKE their Earthly father (you), so be the man you want them to believe God to be. And if your children reject the faith &/or walk away from God at some point in their lives, you, Dad, need to humbly, sincerely, & genuinely seek God to find out what you did to make them decide that God, their Heavenly Father, is someone they don't want in their lives because the Father they are REALLY rejecting IS YOU!

Im only 11 years old, and why did i click on this video? XD God bless u always I always pray for Impact :)

I'm considering adopting a child in the future if I don't get married. I want to show the same love that Jesus gave to His disciples.

Throughout my childhood, my dad wasn't an example of a good dad, I'm not gonna share why for private reasons, but when my mom passed away on June 2018, my dad wished that he could go back and be the example he needs to be, but when saved(2022, basically 4 years later), God told me to forgive, cus before saved, I had hatred upon him.

Hi Dad! 🫡 My baby girl is going to be born next month, and I am seeking wisdom. This video was a blessing, thank you!

Thank you for such encouragement! I have 2 boys! One is 3 years old and the other one is 11 months old! I love them so much and I have such a fear of damaging our relationship by being too harsh or being too accepting. In reality I have a huge struggle with patience.

Hi impact's dad! You raised one amazing man of God, sir, well done, truly a beautiful success!

Thank you Impact Video Ministries father for being such a loving and supportive figure (and shoutout to the mother as well!)

Hi Mile's Dad !! i want to Thank you for raising such an amazing teacher! your son's message has been a great blessing to me . much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

This channel has helped me in my walk with God a few times now, you are definitely a gifted teacher. Ill be taking alot of this fatherhood advice into practice so, Hi "Impact"s dad, seems like you did a job to be admired with your boy. Thank you, hes a credit to your family. God bless. ❤✝️

I recently realized that I probably can't be a dad, because of my own decisions and from what I've seen and learned: it'll probably be better to not continue the mess that's been going on...

I absolutely love this! Praise God! I shared it with my son that will hopefully be a Dad someday. My husband and I didn’t know Jesus until our 30’s we had two kids and a baby. The two older kids knew us before and after Christ, but we were baby Christians during I feel the most important times of their life. The baby she got brought up in church with the word and everything. My Son ended up joining the Marines and before he left, he got saved and baptized… I just pray for him daily that he will have a personal intimate relationship with the Lord, and I pray that he forgives us at times for the way we raise him without Jesus. God bless you brother and your ministry. My husband and I have a channel draw for God. Check us out sometime. Keep doing what you’re doing. God is with you definitely!!

Hi Myles dad, May god bless you

Hey impacted could you do a video about soldiers and how they go to heaven

Congratulations to your Dad. His example has influenced you well! God bless!😊

❤❤❤ I love this! Definitely spoke to me as I am a family man~ thank you for the awesome video!

Your right parents should not play favorites. I have seen this one MSA story where the dad played favorites he was nice to Mishi but verbally abused Biku which tore the siblings against each other. Mishi would belittle Biku and see him as beneath her and Biku would pull mean pranks on Mishi. All parents should treat their kids equally cause playing favorites will cause resentment and hatred between siblings. All parents must love their kids and make sure each of them get love and attention by the parents

God bless you and your team. This is so encouraging to see. Though I am not a parent at this time, I am so glad that I watched this. My father did not set a good example, yet since becoming a follower of Christ I feel amply prepared with the best example of a Father 🙌🏻🙏 Praise the Lord!

Man all your videos really help me, and they always teach me something new. I’m thankful that you are letting God use you how he wants to.
