@noneofyourbusiness9635 8 ай бұрын

Yeah. They is talking about adding OTHERS to the kingdom AFTER you were added. We already have the kingdom, others need to be BORN AGAIN into the kingdom. So, we add to the kingdom by preaching the gospel to others. And FLESH and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. The Trinity is a lie. The flesh of Jesus was mortal. God is a Spirit named Jesus, who comes in the form of a man, our old man of flesh. Beware of the leaven

Thank you Tony Evans, by the Grace of God your teaching has broken through the veil of discouragement, heartbreak, emotional soul pain, even as a Christian born of God’s Spirit many, many years ago, for many years since I’ve been living in a state of inertia, not of the world, not of God’s Spirit, but where God’s Spirit is there is still life. I’ve know from my first encounters with God I have everything I need, but have been lost, underdeveloped, my heart desiring to Glorify God, but failing, now through your clear explanation, it’s never too late, never too old, to tend to the seed of faith within me, with the right nutrients and water - Lord, help me to grow even into old age, enable and strengthen me oh Lord, Amen 🙏 ❤

@teresaslack4750 Жыл бұрын

I lost my husband one year ago tomorrow. It's hard to imagine I've been without him a whole year. I feel like a prisoner one year into a life sentence. But Tony's msgs help me remember I have a better reward coming and I will forget the pain and heartache of today

I agree… after difficult events in my life after becoming a born again Christian, I’ve been living in a state of inertia for year upon year, not committed to God, nit committed to the world, just stuck but continuing to search for what I thought I’d lost, but in this sermon, I hadn’t lost the Spirit of God, I had stopped developing the seed within me with the right nutrients for growth… Dear Lord help me to live my life from this moment on for Your Glory, which is my hearts desire, Amen. Tony Evans, thank you! 🙏 ❤️

I pray, talk & meditate in God throughout my day to keep that communication open & read His Word. Its been life changing! My heavenly Father I love you so so much!

I want all of what God has for me Doc! All seven of them enhancements of the Holy Spirit's gifts! My son was excepted into Baylor University on the Presidential Scholarship because of Academic excellence! He scored high on his S.A.T. test, so we did not have to pay, but he had all that freedom, (he thought) to do his school work later, but played then, and lost his Scholarship. We can lose our salvation this way if we play with what God gives us! I was so angry with that boy, but God gave him Grace. We cannot lose time and squander our energy on foolishness! Amen!☝🏽🙏🏽📖✝️ I know you can not lose your salvation if you are really Born Again of God! 🙌🏽
