Powerful message thank you brother. Most people refuse to listen because they're dead in sin and don't want to give up their sinful lifestyle. So many claim to be Christian but are Christian In Name Only. Lord please keep me on the narrow road that leads to salvation, in Jesus mighty name we pray amen.

Amen! Im just getting off of that boat (again) and back into the lifestyle of repentance. I was generally curious about somethings but that led me to into sin. Sin led to sorrow. Sorrow led to Gods love and His love allows me to fear him in awe again. Our Lord Jesus Christ will never give up on us! His is Lord and he is risen, his spirit within me bears witness to the fact. Praise God that Im able to believe and see! Im thankful he shows mercy upon us! Keep the faith and God bless all here. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm 81, I will include you in my Fasts & Prayers... I couldn't find another way to get this special prayer to You... It's known to be responsible for a great many Healings. Written by a 19th Cen Benedictine Priest living in Belgium, Fr Paul... His life was filled with miraculous Healings of all Sorts, & He suffered a great deal himself. It's a beautiful litany, asking Mary to intercede with her Son, that His Will be accomplished in you... ( I will pray this on your behalf as well.❤️🔥☦️) "Father Paul said about these litanies that anyone reciting them with faith, could count on a special blessing from the Virgin Mary... Litany to the Blessed Virgin: Hail Mary, Daughter of God the Father Hail Mary, Mother of God the Son... Hail Mary, Wife of the Holy Spirit... Hail Mary Temple of the Most Holy Trinity... Hail Mary White Lily of the Most Holy Trinity... Hail Mary, pleasant Rose of the Heavenly Court... I greet you Mary, Virgin full of gentleness & humility, from whom the King of Heaven wanted to be born, fed and educated... Hail Mary, Virgin of Virgins... I hail Mary, Queen of Martyrs whose Soul was pierced by a grenade of pain, to whom all power has been given... Hail Mary, Queen of the Universe, in Heaven and Earth... Hail Mary, Queen of my heart, my joy, my life and all my hope... Hail Mary most loving mother... Hail Mary, Wonderful Mother... Hail Mary, Mother of Beautiful Love Hail Mary conceived without sin... Blessed be thy husband, St. Joseph Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed are thou amongst all women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus... Blessed be your Father St Joachim Blessed be your mother, St Anne Blessed be your Angel, Gabriel Blessed be the Father who chose you Blessed be the Son who loved you Blessed be the Holy Spirit who chose you as his wife... Bless all who love you O Blessed Virgin Mary, & Bless us all in the name of your Dearest Son." Amen

I want to please God, but I knew I didn't fully understand what it meant to fear Him (as a believer), the way He commands... so I was just real with Him... I said, "Lord, I want to fear You in a way that is pleasing to You. Please put that fear in me, for Your Glory, in Christ Jesus Name I pray- amen." I had to keep asking because, I knew in my heart I still didn't fear Him. And He says, "knock and keep on knocking, ask and keep on asking." WOW! No words can explain when I was praying a few times now and He made His presence so known 😭 I was trembling. I covered my face and my heart was racing so fast... I asked Him to show mercy to me because, I was SO FEARFUL! Every time He makes His presence known in such a way, I immediately ask Him to show mercy because, I feel as though I could literally have a heart attack. Now, this has only happened a few times, but I am in constant awe of Him because, He showed me what it means to fear Him as a believer. I am forever thankful and so blessed to have such intimacy with Him. I cherish those times and always look forward to the next time. *just so we are clear- I don't always "feel" His presence as I am communing with Him, but most of the time I do. The times I speak of, where the fear of the Lord has gripped me, is when He makes His presence known is such a way I can never put into words... only... fear and trembling... but unless we have experienced the fear of the Lord... we won't know the extent of His presence that we can handle while in the flesh. More recently, I fear to become lukewarm and have Him spew me out of His mouth... (which, I know I was becoming)... the Lord got my attention- HALLELUJAH! So, now when I read, "fear Him who can kill both body and soul in hell"... there is a certain fear that I feel about becoming lukewarm. The Lord is calling back the prodigal. He is calling the lukewarm to repentance. And He is letting us know that there is work to be done, so do not become lazy. We must mortify the flesh daily... WE MUST!!! LET US STRIVE TO ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW GATE! WE MUST BE SPENDING TIME WITH HIM, IN ORDER TO BEAR MUCH FRUIT. OUR CUP IS TO BE OVERFLOWING DAILY! KEEP GOING SAINTS! WE HAVEN'T REACHED THE FINISH LINE YET!

Hello Marcio, thank you for your message. I’m glad that you are being blessed by the videos. I saw that you joined the Patreon community, and I sent you a private message on that platform. Please have a look. I was also raised a Roman Catholic. It’s funny that you mention this because at some point, hopefully in the coming months, I actually want to do a video on this. There are some big theological problems in the Catholic Church. As for biblically based churches, I am in South Australia. I am a member of a Baptist church, but I don’t get too caught up on the denomination. There are a few good evangelical denominations out there. They do good expository preaching, which is my preference. I know from previous videos that I’ve done, and the comments, a lot of people struggle to find a good church. It’s sad that this is the case. I don’t receive all message notifications to my replies on here, so if you want to continue the discussion then Send me a private message on Patreon.

Amen. This message is SOLID pure Biblical truth. I'm going through Deuteronomy this weekend and Moses repeated SO many times to fear the Lord. He's talking to God's chosen nation and he still repeated it over and over. It's important even as believers to fear God as we will be disciplined when we wonder off. I picture a lion, gentle and caring towards his cubs, yet quick to discipline them when they stray because he knows the dangers of life and is training them up to be as he is. He is absolutely fierce and terrifying to those who would hurt one of his or encroach on his territory. I like the quote from CS Lewis in one of his Narnia books when one of the children of Adam asks Mr Beaver about Aslan, "Safe?" said Mr Beaver; "don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you." Aslan was a lion NOT a man. God is God not a man. His ways are higher than ours.

The passage you mentioned (Matthew 7:21-23) highlights an important aspect of true faith and obedience in relation to salvation. Jesus is addressing those who claim to have performed various works in His name, such as prophesying, casting out demons, and doing wonderful works. However, He states that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus emphasizes that it is not merely the profession of faith or the performance of works that guarantees salvation. He clarifies that those who enter the kingdom are the ones who do the will of His Father in heaven. This means that true faith in Christ is not just a matter of words or external actions; it involves a heart transformed by God's grace, leading to a life of obedience to God's will. In this passage, Jesus is cautioning against relying solely on outward acts or religious accomplishments as the basis for salvation. He is highlighting the need for a genuine relationship with Him and obedience to God's commands. Those who use works as a substitute for true faith may find themselves lacking the authentic relationship with Christ that leads to salvation. The individuals Jesus addresses in this passage may have relied on their works as evidence of their faith but lacked a genuine, personal relationship with Him. Jesus's response, "I never knew you," implies that they did not have an intimate, personal connection with Him. Their works, despite being impressive, did not reflect a heart transformed by saving faith and true obedience to God. Therefore, this passage aligns with the idea that salvation is based on grace through faith and not on works alone. Good works should be the result of genuine faith, but they do not serve as the foundation of salvation. True faith in Christ, accompanied by a transformed heart and obedience to God's will, is what brings about salvation.

There Shall Be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth Mt 8 5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. Mt 13 36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt 13 47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mt 22 1And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few are chosen. Mt 24 45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Mt 25 24Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Lk 13 22And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

If you don't believe in Jesus then you can fear God. Knowing that he was the payment for all our sins and putting your faith in what he done for us is salvation. We only need to trust him at his word, that it is finished and this is the only kind of thing that pleases God is faith in Jesus. If we do not believe then we are judged by our works and there is not one who can be justified by works because God says that it is by grace that we are saved and not of works. God will look at what we trusted in, is it Jesus or works.

(S)Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 (T)Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was (U)to destroy the works of the devil. 9 (V)No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[b] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, (W)nor is the one who (X)does not love his brother. (1 John 3:7-10) 21 (A)“Not everyone who (B)says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will (C)enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who (D)does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 (E)On that day (F)many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not (G)prophesy in your name, and cast out demons (H)in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 (I)And then will I declare to them, ‘I (J)never knew you; (K)depart from me, (L) YOU WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS’ (Matthew 7:21-23) God’s words not mine. How people don’t get that fruit is the evidence of saving faith is staggering. Foundational truth of Scripture!

Good message, Bro, and very necessary. I pray that many come to the Lord through it. Out of curiosity, besides Salvation, is there any way in which the judgement of the Christian and the non-believer differ? The reason I ask is because, frankly, the idea of giving an account of my whole life to God is terrifying. It makes sense, obviously. But that doesn't make it any less nerve wrecking.

That is EXACTLY what is missing in the church! FEARING THE LORD!!! You know what a Pastors wife said to me at a church I use to go to? She said, “ why do you fear God, I don’t.” 😳 She may want to read the Bible and if she did, God will answer that for her. A Pastors wife! You know why she said that? Because they preach the deadly, dangerous doctrine of OSAS, Hyper-Grace, Cookie-Cutter Verses that do not stand alone! Like, “ Hey don’t worry, Jesus has got your back, he’s got you covered…”. That’s what they teach. LIES! There is no Grace without repentance, faith and belief and remaining in Christ so he will remain in you-John 15, (see the condition there? There are many conditions) enduring to the end and the biggest one is the Overcomer‘s that Jesus wrote through The Apostle John -the letters to the seven churches, Jesus made it crystal clear that the Overcomer, the one who conquers and repents will not have their crowns taken from them and their names will not be blotted out of The Book of Life- those are the ones that are going to enter His kingdom. Salvation is a process and it is not how you start your faith it is how you finish it, I don’t understand the confusion with this topic. No one is saved yet! Do you live in your glorified body, yet? No! Are you perfect and sinless in Gods eyes, yet? No! Do you know why? Because you’re not saved yet. FEAR GOD! YOU WON’T IF YOU DON’T KNOW HIM! Do you know His word or do you know Him? PSALM 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his faithfulness love towards those who FEAR HIM. JESUS SAID in Matthew 10:28 Instead you should fear God, who can destroy both your body and soul in hell. Excellent video! God bless your ministry! 🙏🏼

"Fearing the Lord" in the church and criticizes a specific pastor's wife for stating that she does not fear God. They also express disagreement with teachings related to "once saved, always saved" (OSAS), hyper-grace, and the emphasis on God's covering without addressing repentance or enduring in faith. While the message emphasizes the importance of fearing God and maintaining a faithful, repentant walk with Him, it contains some elements that may lead to theological confusion and misunderstanding. It is essential to address and clarify a few points: Fearing the Lord: The fear of the Lord, as mentioned in the Bible, involves reverence, awe, and respect for God. It does not imply being terrified or afraid of Him in the sense of being scared of punishment. It is rooted in a deep understanding of God's greatness, holiness, and authority, coupled with a loving and obedient relationship with Him. Doctrine of Once Saved, Always Saved: The concept of OSAS refers to the belief that once a person is genuinely saved and has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, their salvation is secure and cannot be lost. While different theological perspectives exist on this matter, it is important to note that the assurance of salvation is based on God's grace and faith in Christ, not on our works alone. Repentance, Faith, and Endurance: Repentance, faith, and enduring in one's relationship with Christ are indeed vital aspects of the Christian walk. Believers are called to continually turn away from sin, put their trust in Jesus Christ, and remain faithful to Him. However, salvation is not based on one's ability to perfectly fulfill these conditions but on God's grace and the finished work of Christ on the cross. The Overcomer's Promise: The letters to the seven churches in Revelation contain specific messages to different congregations and individuals. The promises to the "overcomers" refer to those who persevere in their faith, overcome the challenges they face, and remain faithful to Christ. These promises highlight the rewards and blessings that await believers who endure in their relationship with Christ, rather than being conditions for initial salvation. In summary, while the call to fear the Lord, embrace repentance, and remain faithful to Christ is valid, it is important to approach these topics with a comprehensive understanding of God's grace, the finished work of Christ, and the assurance of salvation based on faith. It is crucial to study the entirety of Scripture, seek guidance from reliable theological sources, and engage in constructive discussions within the church community to deepen our understanding of these matters.

The concept of "fearing the Lord" in the Bible can indeed be understood as more than just a sense of fear in the conventional sense. While the term "fear" can imply being afraid or terrified, in the context of our relationship with God, it carries a deeper meaning. "Fearing the Lord" involves a reverential awe, respect, and honor for God's authority, power, and holiness. It is acknowledging and recognizing His greatness, sovereignty, and divine nature. This fear is not about being scared of punishment or harm but rather about having a deep sense of awe and reverence towards God. In Proverbs 9:10, it says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight." This verse highlights that a proper understanding of who God is and holding Him in high regard leads to wisdom and understanding. Moreover, "fearing the Lord" also encompasses a genuine love and respect for God. It involves recognizing His love, grace, and mercy towards us and responding with gratitude, obedience, and a desire to align our lives with His will. This love and respect flow from an intimate relationship with Him, rooted in His love for us. Jesus, in His teachings, emphasized the importance of loving and respecting God. In Mark 12:30, He says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." This comprehensive love encompasses our whole being and reflects the deep respect and honor we have for God. Therefore, while "fearing the Lord" does involve a sense of awe and reverence, it is not solely based on fear but also encompasses a deep love, respect, and devotion to God. It is a multifaceted response to His greatness, holiness, and love for us.

“His people” refers to Israel. Israel are God’s chosen people. In the New Testament it says not everyone who is a part of Israel is in Israel. The Gentiles (non-Jews) have been grafted in to that family by faith. So anyone who believes in Jesus for salvation is a part of Israel.

In Matthew 1:21, the verse states, "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." The phrase "his people" is a reference to Jesus' mission to save a specific group of people, commonly understood to be referring to the Jewish people. Throughout the Old Testament, God made a covenant with the people of Israel, and they were considered His chosen people. The promise of a Savior who would save "his people" aligns with the Jewish expectation of a Messiah who would deliver them from sin and establish God's kingdom on earth. However, it's important to note that while Jesus initially came to fulfill God's promises to His people, His salvation is not exclusive to the Jewish people. The scope of salvation expanded to include all who would believe in Him. In the New Testament, we see that Jesus' salvation extends to all people, both Jews and Gentiles, who put their faith in Him (John 3:16, Romans 10:12-13). Therefore, while the immediate context of Matthew 1:21 refers to Jesus saving "his people," the broader understanding of the Gospel message is that Jesus came to save all humanity, offering salvation to anyone who believes in Him and trusts in His redemptive work on the cross.

What is repent ? Does it mean to turn from sin? Genesis 6:6 says God Repented. Does God sin? Genesis 6:6 is the first time the word repent is used in the bible, and God is the one that repented. Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it ( GREIVED ) him at his heart. One receives eternal live by (BELIEVEING) in Jesus Christ and only that. John 3:16 -18. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Yes God wants us to turn away from sin, and it pleases hem. But turning away from sin does not save you . ONLY BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST SAVES US.

I mean no disrespect and have been a subscriber since the beginning but you didn't mention Baptism at the end. Everywhere in the new Testament when the people learned The Truth of The Gospel they were immediately Baptized and added to The Church. The book of Acts states that it is for the remission of sins and Jesus said to go out, teach and Baptize. There are over 30 scriptures about water Baptism, I understand it is not what saves us but if it's in there shouldn't we do it, especially if Jesus said to do it? The Ethiopian Eunuch, the jailer and the over 3000 on the day of Pentecost were all Baptized when they heard The Gospel. Many people bring up the theif on the cross but he was under old law, Jesus had not perished and risen again yet and Jesus had all authority to forgive him. Should we include Baptism when talking to the lost about salvation? My old friend of 35+ years is dying of nonalcoholic cerosis and liver cancer and does not have much time left and I want to make sure that his name is in the book when he stands before The Lord.

I didn’t mention baptism because baptismal regeneration is not biblical. Baptism is commanded, yes, but it is not part of the gospel. There are many things which are commanded which aren’t part of the gospel. Baptism comes AFTER salvation. Baptism is important but it isn’t what saves therefore isn’t part of the gospel. When someone accepts Christ, I would 100% encourage them to get baptised and not to delay, but as I said that comes after. We can’t confuse it with the gospel itself! Hope that helps 🙏
