Not gonna lie. I'm pumped about this video. I started preaching. This video really cuts to the core. It's really more of a sermon than a typical KZfaq video. I pray that this video comforts, convicts and challenges you to step into God's full purpose for your life. Please take the time to watch it all the way through because there are some great nuggets towards the middle and end of this in-depth teaching.

Wow... I am blessed.. 7 things David has so God used him : 1. Heart of God 2. Dependent on God 3. Faithful and prepared 4. Accountability and teachability 5. Remorse and repentance 6. Character above reproach 7. Humble and God glorifying Thank You Pastor Allen.

The reason God put us on this planet is to serve Him for a purpose . If God wants to use me to serve Him He can for whatever the reason may be .

This message was fantastic. My years of aimlessness and seemingly unproductive jobs have led me to share the Gospel without fear or embarrassment. Your ministry glorifies the Lord. Keep preaching truth. Grateful for you! God Bless you.

This is wonderful. I see in my younger generation that we struggle greatly with purpose. For me, it’s hard to discern what God wants me to do, and so life stagnates. Please make more of these 🙏

God has given me the strength to carry on even though I want to give up. Because of him I will continue to stand in my faith even through hard times. I have two beautiful boys both are autistic. My husband passed away years ago. I’m all alone. I lost my job over declining the vaccine. LIKE MANY OTHERS! I declined due to my pre existing health conditions lupus and heart disease. I’ve been struggling to provide for myself and my children since losing my job as a social worker from Forsyth hospital. I’m now waitressing, and I’m thankful, but I’m not making nearly enough to get by. Every month is a battle to not end up on the streets with my two children. I’m constantly in fear of losing my home. But even as I face homelessness seemingly every month. I have faith, God will provide. This is my testimony of faith! With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Yes, I want to be used by God for the purposes God put me here for. Lord, be it done unto me according to thy will. 🛐

I'm 16 and I've not been deliberately sinning and I've been rebuking the devil for over 6 months now and I praise God for the strength he's given me, but I still have trouble being with easily irritated mainly b/c of sleeping late and that's the only thing that I'm concious of that is against my spirit. I will continue seeking the Lord to make me patient and always helpful even on my bad days. I don't want to say something out of irritation to my mother or anyone anymore Lord. I don't want to groan whenever I'm called and want to be obedient to You and my mom. I want to love You and love people always. I want a cheerful spirit and be like you. Jesus never answered people with irritation or gave them a half answer even those against Him, he always answered effectively and helped them. I love you Lord Jesus, make me more like you. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Loved this. I’m actively trusting in God as I’m progressing in my career. I always give him the Glory and I’m actively awaiting the day he calls us up to be with him for eternity. I’m excited for that mostly but until that day comes, I want to work for the Lord. Great sermon, brother Allen!

Pray God brings revival to the earth. Pray the Lord of Harvest send forth laborers into the harvest. Pray God strengthens His children, gives them more discernment and wakes them up. Pray God lifts the scales from the lukewarm and lost eyes, opens their ears and soften their hearts 🙏🏻

What a powerful sermon! I am saving this one to watch again. Thank you for sharing this list of characteristics. Even when we fall short, His grace is sufficient. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 1. A Heart for God 2. Dependent on God 3. Faithful 4. Accountability and Teachable Spirit 5. Remorseful and Repentance 6. Character Above Reproach 7. Humble and God Glorifying

Proverbs 3:5-6 🙏💝 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."

I can tell that I needed this. When I started listening to it, I felt part of me saying, "well I could listen to it later, let me listen to something else." I stayed listening to the video though, not quite done yet and am feeling a conviction of The Holy Spirt to go through this checklist and make sure that I am prepped for what He would have me do. I've been reading a book recently all about The Holy Spirit, and how He uses us, and how God works in us and through us, through Him, and have been asking that God shows me what He would have me do for Him. Perhaps it was a spiritual battle wanting me to click off the video, but I am glad I stayed to listen to it, and will probably listen to it again for good measure. I've found myself recently praying as you were when you were a teacher, that God would reveal what He has for me, perhaps I'm in a season of preparation. Praying that I always be open to what God would have me do, and that I be obedient to The Holy Spirit when He tells me something, that I would also not let myself get in the way of His work, but would let Him work through me.

🥰🙏🏻🥰. I am old and broken now. Box full of tracks and Bibles waiting to be finished handing around, and fractured 9 vertebrae/osteoporosis sneaked into my body. Had no idea. Been almost a year since diagnosis, but am struggling now w/ healing. Back to listening. Appreciate your teachings. Hope it’s not too late for me... And I spend a lot of time with King David (and the Lord) and know David had a heart for God...

Thanks! This was truly a blessing! Funny, I wasn’t going to watch at first cause I was shopping for new shirts to wear on my job. And the Lord had just given me a talking to and we talked about commitment and how I wanted to be more committed and faithful. So He put it on my spirit, this is a way you can be faithful. Give up some time and watch! And it has been a blessing! Thank you and I would love to see some more of these mini sermons in the future! God is good!

I was sooooo blessed by this sermon. It caused me to truly look inwardly. I'm a senior citizen but have been feeling like God has said in my spirit " I'm not thru with you yet!! May God continue to use you. You are such a blessing!!!

I am faithful in where God wants me to be and I'm willing to give God the glory

Hey brother allen can you do more videos on sin and hell I think it's so important to talk about this ESPECIALLY in the time we living in. God bless you brother I love your videos.🙏🙏

I love this teaching..God Blesses those who Bless Him, those who have a deep and abiding worship for His Ways...we all suffer trials, but those who cling to God will be refined and made ready for His purpose in thei lives... I believe that with everything in me...encourage and build one another up to a mature faith in Jesus...Thank you😇

‘God can anoint somebody but he needs somebody to anoint’ Equip yourself with God’s word and let Him use you.

Never underestimating the monotony and the obscurity of everyday life for God to work out a character like Christ’s! It’s harder to stay humble in the top of one’s success than to face great difficulties!

This teaching is profound! Glory to God. Search me oh Lord, show me! Gloryyyyy to God hallelujah! I wanna be more than an ORDINARY servant Lord Jesus. I am on fire here, God bless you Pastor 🙏🏾. God bless you!

Great sermon. "Are you humble?" That's the key question, especially to those like myself who have taken up the call in ministry for a long time.

Yes I want to be used by God Allen! I’m making small moves towards prophecies I received about how God will use me. But I don’t feel it’s enough. I want more! And I know I’ve just gotten started (I have no spiritual direction).. Please pray for me brother. Appreciate you very much! God bless!

🙌🏾TGBTG🙌🏾 This message was right in time. I’m in a season where he is moving and doing things, unexpected things for me in ministry, where my calling and passions are concerned. Pray for me and I’m praying for you. Not my will, but God’s be done!🙏🏾

Thank you so much for preaching this message. It confirmed a lot of things that I have going on in my own life that are keeping me from serving the Lord to the fullest. (I.e. lust of the flesh derived from a selfish heart) I want to be a man of God and a man after God's own heart. God bless you. I'm praying for you. If you would please pray for me that I would be more attentive and intentional towards seeking God and his will for me and for his strength and grace to obey him faithfully, I would very much appreciate it.

OBEDIENCE! "WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART, YOU WILL FIND ME."

I was literally asking myself this question but secretly in my heart. Not long after I saw this video in my recommendations and then I realized that the Lord had heard me and just gave me the answer. Brother, the Lord has sent you to help his other children and you are doing just that. God Bless You for all of your efforts and commitment on this path you have decided to follow For Him! Amen!

I pray that God mode me just like David and building my character up in him in Jesus name I pray Amen 🙏🙏💯❤️😍👏 my grandmother was a teacher for over 40 years teaching from middle school all the way to college students and she loved it and she always wanted her grandkids to be teachers but teachers hold a higher standard than other positions on a job you have to be able to love your students and have patience with your students and try your best to understand them I respect all teachers cuz that's a tough job ❤️💯 I have teachers and nurses all in my family definitely those are the toughest jobs... Me I always wanted to be a singer just like Beyonce until God showed me it's harder to get to heaven when you're rich in status and you hold that much power definitely I will be lead astray and GOD show me no that's not the way my life is going so he turned me around and walk me down a New path and I'm thankful for that because he saved me and my soul thank you Father even for the closed Doors that have been closed on me it wasn't meant for me to go through them and I'm forever grateful for that. And FYI I need to stop using the word Stupid so loosely even though I don't have a husband or a man I'm always calling somebody that word I need to stop 🥴😐😑 God forgive me I'm working on my mouth

Brother, there's no way you can truly know, but I needed these words today. Thank the Lord for this

God is clearly using you Allen!!✝️🙌🏼This has to be one of my favorite teachings (sermon) from you!!🔥👏🏼Even more reason to love The Book of Psalms- which btw, is my favorite book of the Bible!❤️It’s so beautifully written & I completely resonate with it. I believe God is also using me despite my shyness & being an introvert- so thank you for the confirmation & encouragement to persevere.🙏🏼😌All the glory be to God!!✝️🕊

Thank you so much for this video. I was truly blessed by it. I've been holding back on doing things for God because I'm ashamed of my excess weight. I tend to stay home a lot because of my large size. Then I would feel bad because I know I'm supposed to be sharing the gospel of Christ with non-believers. I needed to hear out loud, what God has said, through a fellow believer. Thank you Lord, and thank you Allen for sharing this Godly message.

Looking forward to hearing more. Just found you a few weeks ago. As I lie here, still working at recovering, I felt so worthless. This message was so timely, and I’m hoping to hear more. Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of my faith...🥳

Please I need prayer!! How do I get courage to take a stand when I care what people think? Does it get easier the closer I get to the Lord? I don’t do the things the world does. I drive truck for a living so I am constantly fed sermons, Christian music into my mind. And am constantly asking God for strength.

Man, bro. Allen you had me in tears with this one 🤩 I had to seriously exam myself and ask God what is that you want me to do? I really do want to do something BIG for God but I let my fears, shame and sin hold me back

It has been a very long journey to get to these 7 points. God has brought me there now. I grew up in a Christian family in Las Vegas--my parents were called to serve there--us kids had a very hard time--no where is like Vegas!!! In the 60's and 70's. The churches were not strong , to say the least. Sin was rampant in most of the churches. My parents were called there to start new churches. There were 4 kids in our family--each of us had major problems growing up there. All but 1 of us are living for the Lord again and have been for years. My folks retired for the 2nd time to Arkansas after retiring from the Air Force. I really blew the early years of my life!! I lived with one foot in the church and one out. I was saved, but not living wholly for the Lord. I married a man who totally misled me. I was a RN and was diagnosed with Lupus after our 2nd child was born. He could not handle me not being "perfect" in his eyes and we divorced in Utah where his job took us. So I had to raise 2 boys and get serious about the Lord!! The kids and I moved to Arkansas where my folks retired to--thank God they were such strong selfless people!!! I could never have made it without them and their unconditional love!! God really got my attention when the Lupus killed my GI Tract. I was an RN and I had to go on disability SS. HARD!!! I was 37. My boys were in Jr High and High School. The hospital was my home for 3 years. Finally I received a device that was a stimulator for my stomach and it helped greatly. So I was very active in my church and with SS and child support we made it with my folks help. In 2019 the company that made the device changed it and it did not work for me anymore. So now, my Drs' don't know how I am still making it--God -I tell them--none are Christians--I now live in California-with my oldest son and his wife and 3 precious grandkids. My sons have not stayed the course in which they made their professions of faith and were baptized. My heart is broken and I pray continually that the Holy Spirit will intervene and they will return to what they know to be true!! I have been home bound for the last 4+ years. At home there is no sense of God--no prayers from my son or his wife. I asked if they prayed for me--they just looked blank. I felt like just dying, but that is in God's time and hands. I have a great support system from my church --God gave me 2 good years here before I had to become home bound to make great Christian friends in a wonderful Biblical church--Grace is its name and it really is!!! Throughout my illness I have proclaimed God's grace and mercy every step of the way. I pray it has touched the hearts of all who have heard it! Even working in Arkansas--the Bible belt, they knew I was different. Here in California, I don't know many people. Only my daughter in laws' family which are another religion. I do have a file box that I keep all the prayer requests from church in and those who ask me to pray for them. Some days I am too weak, but God knows. I want Him to have any glory that comes from my life. Otherwise it will have no meaning. I love Him so much and Jesus who died for all my sins past, present and future---yes, the Holy Spirit gets me fast and I definitely repent!!! I am so thankful for all God has done--He has never left a need unmet in all these years.

More grace and oil upon your head brother Allen. For me, I’ve had a particular sin and struggle ( since childhood) that’s keeping me from stepping up to the calling of God. I’m stepping up to the calling, trusting that God will be my strength and enable me

Incredible message! Holy Spirit was ALL over this, had to be! amen! I'm sharing this with EVERYONE! God bless 🙌🏼

Amen amen amen! I want God to use me, but I too have this issue of I have to get somethings better handled in my life, instead of just stepping out and giving my concerns to God, heck He knows anyway!! Thank you Pastor Parr and yes please do more of these!!🙏🏾📝❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much for making this video Allen, I’ve known my calling has been to do ministry for years but sadly, I haven’t been walking in it, I’m always either too shy and insecure to start or afraid that I don’t know enough yet to start. Please keep me in prayer that God will transform me into who He needs me to be and that I’ll truly seek Him in spirit and in truth. Thank you

This was so good and convicting! I got 2 texts during this video of 2 different people and situations that I was able to use some of these 7 you listed here to help in these crisis they were having! Gods timing is amazing! Can’t wait to see what HE does in these 2 situations!......and in my life!- watching from Lake Wales, Florida

This was so great! It’s nice to have a reminder like this to have more of a heart for God and others. We live in such a selfish time that it can be tempting to focus on our own comforts rather than Gods will. Thank you for this!

Yes God use me to do your will in my life !! I love you and want to serve you, show me where to go❤🙏✝️

Interesting because The Lord moved me to get into the story of David in the Bible and I have been the last few weeks! Amen!!

We sometimes do not understand that our current experiences will be used by God for His glory to prepare our lives for further success in the Kingdom of Christ. That being said, it is not always roses. No, this is where we dig in our cleats in the word for battle and have even more faith in our wonderful Christ Jesus and God in Heaven.

This spoke to me. I've been seeing it on my feed but wasn't clicking on it. I'm so glad that I did. The Holy Spirit spoke to me here. I am grateful.

This was some powerful, powerful teaching that I so desperately needed. I've been going through a financial valley and my emotions have been all over the place, but this video brought me back to the foundation of where my heart and my trust should be; and that's with the Lord.

Adding to: David, Paul, Moses, Abram,& Peter all had passion & were willing to die for the GOD. They were outspoken, not afraid to tell the truth to others, even the harsh truth. They loved GOD more than people's opinions. They trusted GOD with everything...even their faults & failures.

This is very enlightening, especially as a young Christian. I hope I can improve myself in these qualities. Would appreciate prayers.

Amen amen amen...what can I say?!? I always said NOT MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE GOD...May God use me for his purpose and His glory!! God you Jesus. We love those video and we want more🙏🏽 Be bless in Jesus name🙏🏽

This video has blessed me more than you'll ever know. Thank you for allowing God to use you to help others grow.

This was an awesome and eye-opening video. I learned so much. Thank you, Pastor Allen, for your transparency at the end. Sometimes we feel those in the public or ministry do not have their struggles. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family.🙏🏽

The part about a season of obscurity: I needed to hear that right now! Trying to get a job in this post-pandemic economy, isn't easy and people aren't willing to give me a chance because I'm Autistic and don't do well in interviews! I trust God in this season so I have hope that He will lead me to the right place!

Allen Parr, I want to thank God and thank you for being obedient to Him to share this sermon to us listeners. For me, IT'S A TOTAL BIBLE STUDY EACH AND EVERY TIME I CHECK OUT A VIDEO ON YOUR CHANNEL. This right here, today's sermon, is on fire. Keep on UNPACKING the biblical principles from the God's Word. P.S. I appreciate your personal testimonies from your life. You're not lofty; you keep it transparent and real. Thank you.

when I get mad or upset about anything I pray that God come to me and when he talks to me I get so happy to hear from jeuse. He says he got me always. i can't wait until we go to heaven. So I can talk and walk I can't wait to talk to him about everything and everyone that I know. And people from the bible like David..

I have an atheist friend called Nathan and when I read about the prophet Nathan I grinned from ear to ear. I hope the Lord brings him back to him.

Tracey Burroughs from South Africa 🇿🇦 watching your episode. Thank you for another good episode.

The sermon style is fantastic, and so helpful for taking notes! I would definitely like to see more videos like this one! I've been reading 1 and 2 Samuel with my daughter during our morning prayer time (we're homeschooling - yay!) and it was really interesting to read some of David's psalms after reading the events that prompted him to write them!

Thank you for allowing God to use you to speak this wonderful message to us! This has truly changed my life today!

“Nothing is wasted in God’s economy.” 🙌🙌🙌

Amen, amen, amen! Brother Allen, Thank you for bringing this powerful message. Definitely needed to hear this to exhort and encourage me to deepen my my faith in the Lord. I want to be used my Him and for His glory. And yes, I would like more of these mini sermons. God bless you and keep you!

The most important thing is to love one another. The greatest of all is the servant of all. God has chosen us to bear fruit, and that our fruit should remain. Without faith it is impossible to please God, neither they that are in the flesh. Seek the Lord while he may be found, for if we seek him, we shall find him, if we search for him with all our heart. He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble, and a broken and contrite spirit he will not despise. Establish a pattern of faithfulness, for it is required of stewards that a man be found faithful. He giveth more grace. Grace and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Christ.

Thank you for this teaching on how to rely on God and God alone!

"What I saw as insignificant, God had a plan all along". Thank you Allen. It's important to be faithful where He has us - yet so easy to lose sight of that at times. Even tasks that feel mundane. Doing all for His glory.

Praise God!!! This blessed me!!! Thank you for your obedience!!

Speak Holy Ghost! This is speaking life in the heart of all seeking answers from God. I was truly inspired and blessed by this message. God bless you 🙏🏽

David - "We need to strap up..." LOL😂 Pastor Allen you are so funny! Really really needed this. I was convicted that I'm missing 2 out of the 7. Thank you for showing me the light, I want to be a woman who is used by God for His glory! 🙏

This Guy is a true man of God . He a very good teacher and he wakes you up to thinks you can ans should be doing for our GREAT MESSIAH.

Praise God!!! I am in a career I don't want to go into. my plan was engineering but I am now in architecture. I cried about the time it will take to graduate and laughed at myself because of what I put myself into and it all seems impossible to me. but I told God if it is his will, then I will do it for him because I, alone could not do it. God is preparing me for something I can't understand right now and I will be faithful even though I want to give up.

Amazing video pastor Allan....one to watch a couple of times . Love in Christ from SA 🇿🇦✝️

Amen Amen 🙏 the Scripture says as a man thinks in heart so is He. David was a man after God's own heart ❤️, to God be the Glory ⛪️ 😤

GREAT JOB ON THIS!👏🏿 All praises to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! 🙌🏿 Continued blessings my brother!

Great message pastor Allen❤️👍🏾😊. Amen The Christian life is a life of servitude.

Thank you Allen! This was 🔥🔥🔥much needed message right now! God bless you and your family🙏🏻

Hello brother Allen, I normally don’t comment on youtube videos but I gotta say you hit the nail on the head with this one. May God continue to bless your life and find the discerning wisdom to inspire and teach His word. I can definitely echo your words and see myself reflected in many of the things you touched on this video.

Allen, thanks for taking the time to share this wisdom and encourage us! Definitely encouraged me to keep runnin’ the great race

Thank you! God bless From Brazil 🇧🇷

Talk about timing. Before I went to bed last night I asked God to use me. He's been preparing me for some time now. The Holy Spirit has been putting on my heart and to be mindful its about who you are in private vs who you in public

Thanks Bro. Parr! I really needed this! I've been seeking God more than ever about my purpose and being used in the Kingdom. I can hear God speaking to me through your lesson. This gave me a lot to pray about and to work on.

Man this is awesome!!! I’m so glad I clicked on this video … Thank you LORD for using flawed people to proclaim your beautiful perfect good news

God bless you. Please do more of these!!!

This was your best yet Allen! Please do more of these videos as God leads. I believe it will speak to so many! I needed to hear this today!

NOW THIS BLESSED ME!!!!!! I needed to hear every bit of it! Thank you for your obedience to our LORD.

Lots and lots of wisdom here. Exactly what is needed. Thank you.

So good I had to watch it twice. Exactly the word I needed today. God bless you brother 🙌🏽

Thank you, Brother Allen. For this video, your openness and your prayers for us who receive the wisdom therein. Your ministry is a Glory to God, 🙏❤️

Thank you for your obedience my brother in Christ. This really blessed my life. I pray that this message will reach and encourage all that truly want to be used by God. All praises and glory be to God forever and ever. 🙏🏽♥️

This was a great video, very blessed and like how practical and applicable it was in my walk with the Lord. Yes, would like more videos like this!

I was called then chosen to be a witness for God and I have had some amazing visions I have had the holy sprit manifest on me and move me.I have been the one who hears what the sprit says to the church of Philadelphia.

This left me without words to describe what I was feeling. The one word that did come to mind was Powerful. Thank You Brother Parr.

Wow this touched me in so many ways.. Thank you Lord. And thank you Pastor Allen.

Brother Alan, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your encouraging words. You are a blessing to my life. I will try to keep you close in my prayers, been watching you for years.

Thank you for this video.. 😭. I can't get a handle on a sin issue and like you, I have brought it into the whole single thing. People have made me feel a type of way about it over the years. Mercy upon me oh Lord, I wanna be more than a complacent servant. Help me Lord, heal, deliver and give me greater clarity. In Jesus' name.

I really needed to hear and revive this message. I was truly blessed with this, Thank You Allen ❤️

God Loves You Daily Reminder 🙏🏾❤️✝️

Started taking notes right away haha! I needed to hear this message today. I sometimes find that instead of craving fellowship with God- spending time with him in prayer and in scripture or just talking to him-I’m just content to veg out on silly content on KZfaq or listen to another podcast. But a woman after Gods own heart should crave that time together. That is my prayer Lord. This fellowship that I can have with God is the very thing Jesus shed his precious blood for!! Help me to seek out and enjoy your presence, God!

Thank you brother Allen for this amazing well thought and put together video. Probably one of my favorite videos I've seen in a long time. May our Almighty God and Savior through our Lord Christ Jesus continue to bless and use you and the entire beat team for His glory. In Jesus'mighty name... Amen🙏

This was an awesome sermon, yes sermon! I was feverishly taking notes because I want God to use me more each day, and I needed to hear this teaching. Please do more of these. You are a gifted teacher, and I always learn so much from your channel.

Thank you Lord for this video that tell me where I wasn't honest with You and with my self. Now I know how to act as a man of God, please God, make me remember these 7 topics even during temptation. Brother Allen, be blessed in the name of Jesus

Honestly .i want to serve God with all my heart ,soul and strength.🙏🙏🙏🙏
