Hi thanks for your comment, and yes, context does matter, and Barry did not refer to the act of creation in his answer, and he did not say that we can go and create a universe with our words, what Barry did say was this, "If we are speaking God's word quickened to us by the Spirit of God, THEN yes, THOSE words carry the same authority and power." So a possible takeaway point and a possible next question is, 'What, out of the written word of God is the Spirit of God quickening to your spirit to pray and declare over your life?' We hope this helps to clear this up for you.

Brother Andrew may of had good intention, but this in it's entirety is incorrect if not scriptural. Yes we confess the lord of our life. Yet it is the spirit that gives us utterance to preach that which is profitable, and not based on the carnal mind.

It is a gift from God not based on our self effort,

@@charisaustralia thank you

Hello, thank you for your question! Hebrews 11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." So as we go about doing the Word, do it by faith! Faith in His grace to empower you to see the Word of God manifest results in your life. Faith in His Authority over all of heaven and earth, which he now delegates that full authority to those filled with His Spirit and walking by His Spirit. Another aspect of living a life pleasing to God is living a life of honouring God. 1 Samuel 2:30 says, “Those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.”

Thanks for your comment on this video. Barry’s testimony of his healing is pretty amazing. If you search through UA-cam you will find a full version of his story, worth a watch! You've mentioned here, and in a different video's comments section, about Jesus having His favourites. In the teachings of Christianity, as reflected through Biblical scripture, it's understood that Jesus does not have "favourites" in the way humans often perceive favouritism. God shows no partiality or favouritism (Romans 2:11). In Jesus's ministry, He showed love and compassion to all people, regardless of their social status, race, or background. Jesus demonstrated His agape love by interacting with and healing the marginalized and sinners as well as the more respected members of society. His teachings emphasized that God’s agape love is available to all who believe in Him and follow His commandments. That said, Jesus does have deep relationships with individuals, as depicted in the Gospels with His disciples, particularly Peter, James, and John who were part of His inner circle and witnessed events others did not. Mary of Bethany also had things revealed to her that others missed due to her relationship with Jesus. In John 15 Jesus mentions He reveals things from His Father to the disciples who were listening because he now counted them as cherished friends more so than servants. This does not imply favouritism but rather a specific role or purpose that Jesus entrusted to certain individuals within His earthly ministry. Scripture also reveals the true nature of God as being good. God’s goodness is who He is, not just what He does. If God was known for just doing good, then one might perceive God to be selective with His goodness, but God is good because He is GOOD! Gaining a revelation about God as being good is an important part of getting to know who God is so we can have a relationship with Him based on His true nature. It’s hard to have a relationship with someone you misunderstand. The essential message is that in the eyes of God, we are all equally loved and valued. The opportunity to build a closer relationship with Jesus is open to anyone who seeks Him sincerely.

Hebrews 11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

"Jacob I loved, Esau I hated" what is God's word saying here?

@@rickspalding3047 The statement "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated," found in Romans 9:13 and referencing Malachi 1:2-3, is a challenging expression that often raises questions about God's nature and His way of dealing with humanity. Jacob and Esau were alive during the time period we call the Old Testament, and so it pre-dates the birth of Jesus and the ushering in of the New Covenant. This statement, "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated," is not about emotional feelings of love and hate as we typically understand, but rather about God's choice and covenant. In this context, "love" signifies God's choice to extend His grace and covenant promises to Jacob (whose name was later changed to Israel and who became the father of the Israelite nation). Conversely, "hated" signifies not being chosen for that particular covenant relationship and the blessings associated with it. God was stewarding the family lineage towards the coming of Jesus the Messiah, and in the case of Jacob and Esau, Jacob was the one chosen to carry on that line.

​@charisaustralia I guess I'm trying to justify where I am in life and I do take some responsibility but I also blame God for things out of my control. I'm sure many feel this way. I guess I don't fully comprehend the blood covenant created with Jesus dying on the cross. Obviously supernatural, the last two years have been pretty bad. The holy spirit has showed me certain things but when your in misery and weak, im to the point where the bible talks about endurance, hope, faith and love a bit condescending. Edit: I've had the holy spirit deliver me while I'm at work for about a year. I'm not understanding deliverance anymore if I feel worse most of the time

Hello, thank you for your comment and question. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing such distress in your life. It can indeed be challenging to perceive or feel God's love during times when everything seems to be falling apart. God's ways and His manifestations of love can sometimes feel enigmatic and may not always align with our human understanding or expectations of what love should look like. While the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is the pinnacle of God's love towards us-offering redemption and a path to eternal life-His love does not stop there. In Scripture, God's love is described as steadfast and enduring. In Romans 8:35-39, Paul speaks about the love of God being so profound that nothing can separate us from it. This passage assures us that neither hardships, distress, nor any other creation can detach us from the love of God that is revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord. The feeling of God's love can sometimes be overshadowed by our current situations, making it difficult to acknowledge or accept it. The 'misery' or 'pain' you mentioned, have a source, and that source is indeed not God or His love for you causing those things. Hard times can sometimes lead us to harden our hearts to God because we think He should have done more to keep bad things from happening. We are not saying that is your situation, but just mentioning it to encourage you to not come to a place of staying offended at God. Bad things happen as a result of sin in the world, and God never promises that bad things will never happen to you. He does promise that His love for you will never change. God's love is can also be experienced through His continual presence and support in other forms-whether it's through the comforting words of a friend, an unexpected help during tough times, or even the inner strength He provides you to face each day. Being part of a Christian community who are following the ways of Jesus, can help us see and experience God's love through others. We understand that these words might not change your circumstances immediately, but perhaps there could be solace in the promise that God is with you in your pain and He is for you, not against you. It's okay to express your feelings of frustration or confusion to God-He welcomes us to approach Him with honesty and open hearts.

Thanks for the response, but I find it arbitrary. Fine that's a human mind, not spiritual. Jesus has his favorites IMO. Statistically some people have to be at the bottom of the barrel. FRUITS of the spirit of peace and joy? I think not. How about forbearance? Who cares
