Hey BEAT Fam! Today's video is to encourage anyone who may be feeling a bit down spiritually. Perhaps you've lost your way and you wonder if/how you can get back on track with God. I hope you find this video helpful and encouraging.
Thanks Allen this was a right on time video. This is the very thing I’m struggling with at this very moment! I feel like God is so angry with me because I keep falling back into things I know I shouldn’t. I love Him I really do but at times I feel like everything you’ve described in this video. Whenever I want to turn away from my sinful nature it comes on even stronger. I hate my fleshly nature(if that’s even a word lol) but I get caught up. I know God is tired of my tears and hearing I’m sorry but it’s true; I hate my sin and I don’t know how to get out of it. The last thing I want to hear is I never knew you!!! Thank you for the video and may God bless you.🙂
This is so good! My fiancée has been going thru this herself. I myself have had seasons where I've felt far from God. This video has truly been a blessing. Thank you Pastor Allen for these wise, love-filled words of encouragement and counsel. Grately appreciate it😁😁
Just like with any relationship, when you feel distant you gotta put in the work to get back in good standing. In human relationship it's not always your fault but our relationship with God is different we are always the problem.
effgoogle 1st of all, no God is not an “asshole”. If anything we are! We sin against a good and holy God. We deserve all of this. So don’t blame it on God. But if we repent and believe the gospel we can be saved💙🙏🏽
@@yourbore I said stuff like that in 2000 and very wicked men would even tell me I wouldn't talk that way about God. Of course I didn't listen and just kept flicking the bird at heaven cursing God till tragedy hit my life soon after. The tragedy wasn't to destroy me but to give me one last chance to repent. I did repent only after suffering intensely. One thing I realized after being a Christian nearly 20 years is God has no fault and no sin. He gives and takes away and he has the right as God to do so. I hope you choose the right path like I did but if you keep speaking like this about your creator something bad will happen as a result i can be sure of it. One co-worker I had knew I was a Christian and thought it was funny to tell me day after day he loved Satan and that he gives his soul to Satan. I told him not to speak like that because something bad would happen and sure enough he ran over someone in his car by accident and they died. Now he has to live with that guilt which is what Satan wanted and I warned him beforehand. Be careful!!
Aye I could you plz pray for me I gave up most of the worldly ways to be with Jesus but it seem it’s something Els I need to get rid of plz pray I want jesus and I have got attached to him plz because I don’t want to be hot or cold to Jesus I wanna be what he wants me to be thank you for reading srry for bad spelling if it is God bless
Pinz_ I shall. Please watch the Bible project on UA-cam (ua-cam.com/play/PL2pcMYx8eoF8ppqf8R2CFMyCXyRjTMWxv.html) Please don’t give up on Him, nothing can separate us from the love of God here is a document - docs.google.com/document/d/1cWRZRKuWZCZtbqylOKAPyxGoJw_BmuP4cE8mT5IXYG8/edit?usp=sharing better resource (videos only) - ua-cam.com/play/PL2pcMYx8eoF8oEHfSM9blMUHNApOu8iKI.html
NotMadeWithHands, I know you posted this comment a year ago but I hope you have come back to The Lord. Sin only brings pleasure for a moment but the consequences are devastating. Remember that story of the Prodigal Son. God is merciful and always ready to forgive. Our job is to repent and turn away from sin. This might even include finding a new circle of friends. I pray that you are back under the umbrella of protection that God offers us all through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Can everyone please pray for my brother in law? His name is Alex. he is slowly but surely dying in the hospital. He had his colon removed recently and is having complications from the surgery. Every prayer counts. Thank you. God bless.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Five essential questions to ask when we feel disconnected from God: 1. Is there some sin in our lives we are not turning from, not confessing, not repenting from? Psalm 32: 3-5. 2. Are we spending consistent time with God doing activities that feed the spirit? 3. Are we spending consistent time with God's people in Christian Community? 4. Are we being distracted by something? Are we consumed by something other than God? Luke 10: 38-42 5. Are we caring for ourselves?
I can't remember all my sins or should i say I can remember most of my sins but not all the details of how many times and all the ins and outs of all those sins. if that makes sense
Thanks for sharing that even as a pastor this happens to you. It’s crazy how we feel like we are the only one this happens to. Another one of satan’s lies. I’m in that place right now.
I appreciate this. Sometimes I feel like I'm not being "holy enough" which obv is where I go wrong. We are saved through our trust in Jesus alone, and we work not to be saved but because it is our duty, and I forget that. God bless you and your church!
Needed to hear this I have felt distracted from God I go to church every Sunday and I come home to my home where my mother allows premarital sex, alcohol, drugs, verbally and emotionally abuses me. Please pray that I stay strong in the Lord and removed from this bondage... Thank you
One of the best 12 minutes I spent. Funny thing is I've been struggling a lot lately. I question everything, and I'm bitter towards the world. But the thing that gets me is that week before I was on FIRE for God and now I'm finding it hard to even pray without feeling empty. This video was an eyeopener for me, thank you it was just what I needed. I feel God speaking through this video, God bless.
I think sometimes God lets us feel far away from Him even when we are striving to stay close because we learn to trust Him more completely, instead of relying on our feelings, which can be deceiving. Even feeling close to Him could be a deception. Consider the Pharisees who thought they were closer to God than "sinners" because of their position, knowledge of the word, and their strict adherence to the law. Jesus rebuked them over and over again but they didn't "get" it.
@@nadacolic7775 heyy so I’ll try giving u advice to get closer to the Lord. : pray everyday and night : when praying dont always say what u want in life tell him u love him : read the bible it will really help u learn more about him! : listen to more Christian songs with meaningful lyrics : have a conversation with God : pray before u eat meals : read bible quotes
As someone who feels like a lukewarm Christian, it’s amazing to me how I can put my worries aside and just stop and say “God has my back” and suddenly everything just feels like it’s going to be okay. It allows me to focus on my goals despite the pain and I myself interpret that as a form of the strength of the lord mentioned in the Bible
I have friends, many close ones, but so few are Christian and believers. I've recently discovered that the hard way that I need to surround myself with more Christians. It's been a nice and refreshing wake up as well. I could also use some prayers if anyone on this comment section has some free time in their day. This is a great video as I need to get back to being right with God and I feel like I'm making progress but keep stumbling here and there. But at least it's progress.
Yeah since I've given my life to Christ I've seen how it's so much different now around my friends. They want to do things I don't want to do anymore and they start to see the way I've become as been extreme and monk like lol, I continue to pray for them and still speak to them about God but Christian friendship is definitely important in helping spiritual growth and walking with God.
Hi, thank you for commenting, I have the problem of not having many Christian friends. Most of the ones I do have live in America and I live in England . I would love to have Christian friends much closer to where I live. I will pray for you too.
Man there’s so much fruit in this channel. Thank you brother Allen for your obedience to the Lord. It’s like no matter where I’m at in my walk somehow someway the Holy Spirit continues to speak through you and encourages me to keep on keeping on with my walk with the Lord. God continues to lead me through His word domino effecting my wife and kids. Thanks for being an source of encouragement. Praying that God will continue to strengthen you man
I really needed this, lately I’ve been feeling so burned out after feeling the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit within me, it just all of a sudden disappeared and I feel so guilty for feeling tired and burned out like this 😔👉👈 God bless you! Thank you so much ✨
I'm so lazy. I miss the days when i used to praise,worship and pray to God. Now, i'm just so lazy, i don't feel God, too lazy to repent, overthinking,anxiety,fear. Sometimes i think that he will not heal me anymore because of how bad i am.. Sometimes i think i did the unforgivable sin. Please pray for me! I just wanna do those worldy things these days, i'm actually just 10, sometimes i don't understand why i'm going through this in such a young age... I miss Jesus so muchh, almost cried while typing this
I feel you. I'm going through the same thing myself. I don't wanna give you that "Just keep praying" dialog or "Just wait for him". I'm also praying and waiting. So just know I'm somewhere feeling the exact same thing. But I know this. The unforgivable sin is Blaspheme against the holy spirit. But blasphemy is only when you've spent your ENTIRE life not wanting/caring/seeking Jesus. So if you felt guilty or worried enough to ask for help then you haven't committed the sin. You feel bad. You care. People who've shot down christ at every turn are the ones who've committed blasphemy. I'm 15 by the by.
@@Pablo-mk5jlI’m going through this right now and I feel like I’ve let so many people down, most of all the Lord. I can’t figure out how to repent, regain my desire for God, Faith, everything. I don’t want to struggle with this anymore, God Bless all of you, Amen
2020 has brought me back to the big man. I spent a long time being angry and bitter at him for my reasonably unpleasant life. But one day I just felt like I wanted to give him another chance. And now I'm feeling better.
I’ve only been in the light of the ALMIGHTY for 15 months and pray all the time for me to be on fire for the MOST HIGH for the length of my days. I see how people fall off or stumble and I for sure don’t want that for me.
Oh my goodness. What a time to do a video. I've been struggling with God. Lots of anger, confusion, resentment, frustration...and I've taken it all out on God because I am sick of feeling like He doesn't care. About 2 hours ago, I literally was telling Him that I just want to walk away because I don't understand why I am excluded from the peace, love, self-control, patience and other fruits He promises through the Holy Spirit. I want the witness of the Holy Spirit. I've been at this for months and am just exhausted of trying to perform for Jesus.
@@aakk009 in your defence, we're human. Humans tend to make a lot of messes😂. Don't blame yourself. It doesn't make it any better. You'll just lose self esteem. We all fall every now and then,but the important part is to get back up. After all, "though the righteous fall seven times,they rise again,but the wicked fall when calamity strikes"(proverbs 24:16). Just talk to Him. Tell Him what's going on, no matter how hard it is. Cast your cares (1 Peter 5:7) . You don't have to be a certain way for God to love you. Let Him be the help you need. P.s, you're not alone. We go through this together ✊
Jesus: John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. Jesus: John 8: 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” Acts 5: 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. John 6: 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. James 4: 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. May God help me and give me. Philippians 4: 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [d]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [e]lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [f]dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
I’ve been praying to God, asking Him why I haven’t felt that fire lately . This showed up on my feed, i feel it in my heart that it’s the confirmation I needed to hear. I won’t just ask the questions I’ll will make sure to take action, and live them out. God is good!

I've been there many times. Right now, I've been feeling that way. Haven't been to church in a while. Stop reading my Bible. I appreciate you being there to help remind me of what I should do. You have helped me through several difficult times. Thanks friend.
I haven't been taking care of myself like I should. I haven't been getting enough sleep. I haven't been eating much or eating the right things. Running back and forth to my children school's. I pick my Bible up and fall asleep. Thanks for the tips. It's not easy being a single mom. I wish all the weight of the responsibility wasn't on me alone. I don't even have the support of family on my side to help. I'm constantly focusing on what I need to do for the children. So it has become a big distraction. I need God more than ever right know. Please keep me in your prayers. Pray that the load I'm carrying gets a little lighter.
It was really hard for me to search for help for feeling disconnected because of how deeply I love him. I'm glad I didn't listen to the enemy saying "you should feel ashamed and He's not gonna hear you anymore because you abandoned him"..This video definitely helped me narrow down what's been happening. Thank you for this.
There was a time many years ago where I walked close with God....but I fell away. Throughout this falling away, God rested on my mind though, I'd pray, but I felt no connection, and further into the darkness did I go. Porn, meanness, and general depravity have ruled my life. The whole time I absolutely detested myself. I wanted to be better, but couldn't find the will to actually change myself. I got caught up in a destructive cycle of sin and shame, hating myself more and more, thinking of God and seeking his light more and more. When not distracted my thoughts would often reflect on the Bible. I studied it from Genesis to Revelations when I was walking with God and I love to think on it even now. Today I prayed to Jesus, and in my prayer I said I absolutely did not deserve any kind of forgiveness, but isn't that the very definition of grace and mercy? I found your video, which is very well done by the way, and I see in your background live by grace, not perfection...which could not have been more relevant to me and my life. Thank you for the uplifting message. My souls feels at peace at the moment and I can't help but to think your video has blessed me, and I hope God blesses you in return.
I'm so happy I'm not alone! I get scared sometimes because I don't want to go to hell. I feel bad because I feel far from God. I feel like he's giving me a lot of hints to show me that he's still there waiting for me. This video is just another way God is speaking to me. 👍
I feel the exact same way. I want to be a good Christian and I want to fix my relationship with God. But I feel guilty for my sins. I feel like people will judge me for being religious because of my past. I also feel that I'm so use to praying only when I want something or when I'm in a bad place that I don't know how to pray if I don't want something.
@@mellissaferriera1548 I've learned that we have to give it all to God. That's what he wants from us! We give it all and he'll take care of it. Give it all to him Mellissa and get back on that straight and narrow road WITH God. That's something I'm starting to do right now. It's difficult, my temptations to go back to those sins are there and at times seem very easy to do. Within 3-5 seconds of thinking about sinning, I bring in JESUS and talk to him to help me OUT of my sin. Try it 😀. I'm here if you need help.
praise the Lord He's gotchu also as you read the Bible, this document ha s a section called _read this about the Bible_ docs.google.com/document/d/1cWRZRKuWZCZtbqylOKAPyxGoJw_BmuP4cE8mT5IXYG8/edit?usp=sharing
I can relate with the point 5, sometimes when I reach to God for help after that I have the necessity to rest physically, have a nap. I have those difficulties when I'm in a stressful situation and after God showed me his mercy through the Bible then i finally can catch a few "Z's"
I like how he did this without condemning or guilt-tripping anyone, also without sounding patronizing. Most of us can relate to at least one of these points I think.
for some reason I feel so low and different from other Christians when I go through this. Thank God he always reminds us to follow his voice and not let the devil make us feel inferior❤
Aleah B. I mean sure he killed all the firstborn sons of Egypt but the Pharaoh ordered an extermination of the firstborn sons of Israelites first in the Exodus.
I just subscribed to your channel ,i want to go to heaven so bad i find myself searching for videos like these i stumbled on yours.I do not want to feel disconnected from God ,i cant even fathom being cut off from God forever . Thank you for this video
Thank you for posting this video Mister Parr. I am failing in all of these places. I would be very thankful if someone could take the time to pray for me in these areas of my life. Thank you.
This was an excellent video, and Bible based! Without getting into too much detail, I realised that I had become disconnected from God and felt discouraged. I realized that I had not given up and repented from a sin that I have been unwillingly for some time to give up. To be honest, I've been trying to convince myself that I had given up that sin, or that it was "okay" to commit that sin because of my relationship status. Anyways, just the past few days I made the ultimate decision to officially repent from that sin and got rid of a certain item that was holding me captive to that sin. I'm in the process of repenting and my goal this Sunday is to get back into church and seek fellowship with other Christians.
Greetings to you brother Allen, I'm all the way from South Africa and I just want to say that I've just been so blessed and encouraged by your teachings- which is always based on God's word. Please continue doing what you're doing.
I know that this is a little bit bad, but I think that one reason it's easy to spend too much time on other things, especially other people, than God is because we can see and touch everything in this world, but we don't see or hear verbal responses from Jesus. In Heaven, it will be much better because we'll get to see Jesus, be around Him, give Him a hug, and everything we've been wanting to do but can't in this life.

This post was absolutely an answer to my prayers. I'm a Christian and I've struggled with distance from God. I am grateful for your breakdown and I've found myself in your solutions. Thank you for not making me feel less than because I'm going through a dry season. I won't stay here, thanks to you. And God!
i have never ever ever found someone reflecting this much to my spiritual life thank you soo much for helping me fight my battle very well and BEAT FAM keep in mind that we are already at war and we are warriors of christ!!!!!
I am 16 and I struggle with this to. We are teens and we don't have a complete mindset. Satan will try to tempt us but when we have god in our hearts nothing can stop us
I’m afraid I am not going to see my Father in heaven. I was struggling with OCD and anxiety and a event that happened to be has been haunting me and has caused deep stress and I believed fear. I never gave God a chance. Today I was happy rejoicing in God trying to fight my past and the fear came back. I was heartbroken and got on my knees and cried to God. I actually blasphemed against the Holy Spirit our of anger towards God and felt immense guilt. My mother reassured me and when everything was okay I got an intentional thought of challenging God and got a thought that I actually blasphemed the Holy Spirit. After that that I was torn and filled with guilt knowing I would never challenge my Father. I am extremely scared I let fear win. I truly love God and Jesus and fear Him but my thoughts have tormented me. I have failed God who I love so much. I had such a good soul and believed in Jesus but didn’t have faith. I’m so scared.
I will pray for u, a lot of people including myself have been feeling disconnected/distracted from god lately, i think its my fault as well, I keep sinning and its hard to stop gluttony, when I'm being tempted with junk food almost all the time, also I keep getting distracted. But keep going even if you feel like giving up, also i feel like this is a trial/test. Here's some bible verses tp help u, if ur feeling down, stressed, depressed, etc. ♥🙌🏾🙏🏾 www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/forgiveness-bible-verses/ www.openbible.info/topics/discouragement www.openbible.info/topics/failure www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/hope-bible-verses/ www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/depression-bible-verses/ www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/stress-bible-verses/
Thank you so much brother. I m a doctor and married before 10 months and I am overwhelmed with my job and pg preparation and household works and I felt so drained out, confused and so far away from my Lord. I used to have a wonderful relationship with my Redeemer. But I feel like will I ever go there again??? I am longing but of course so distracted. Thank you so much for the video brother. I hope really really hope I will get my sweet relationship with Him again forever
It makes me feel far from God when I ask him to speak to me with an audible voice and he doesn't do it again but I am glad he doesn't allow demons to do it.
can you guys pray for me? I've been getting distracted by many small things. I have been busy doing things that are good just for myself that I get lost in the track of God. Thankyou so much.
I came here because I’m sure God wanted me back in his presence. I was once dreaming of dying for Jesus while sharing the Gospel to others. I lost my way. My soul is empty. I don’t feel God anymore. All i wanted is to help my self and my parents. I’m struggling with sexual sin. I can’t go to church because of pandemic. Please pray for me.
How does it feel the day you are born that you are in good touch with papa Yahweh ? I just turn 30 and I spend my entire fucking birthday in my room why Am I still alive why is he keep on waking me up each morning .knowing that I don't do good in my life or in other ..I spend my stupid life feeling fucking empty and it hurt me ..I rob drug dealers for fun because I dislike ,I always put my life in danger knowing that I have a mother that love me to death....I hear those horse shoe sound getting louder each night where I sleep in the forest ....I don't want to make war with Yahweh or his right army...I refuse to sever Lucifer that cocksucker ..I don't wanna do no evil deed ....but I know in my heart that evil and evil person and evil demon talk to me to work with them ...I just to put the gun in my mouth
@@marthagomez7700 My friend, I do not know you, but I want to inform you that the devil has been planting false lies in your head. He has been doing the same to me, though. But Jesus, praise be His name, has saved us from sin through His death on the cross. Is it hard to believe? If it is, I know your pain. But I have realized that I just need to trust in Jesus. Maybe you don’t know how to do that or where to start. First, I suggest going to a community of believers. Get in touch with God. Please, He loves you so much. He showed that. Trust in His Son. We will get through this.
That's when I pray and ask God the Father to pull me closer to Him and help me to draw near to Him as well.. and OH BOY, does asking this work.. He for sure wants us close and after you ask this, He WILL pull you closer to Him.
I got licensed as a minister at 23 I thought I wanted to preach , then as I got older I didn’t want to do it. I was church hurt as well in the process so I shut it all out of my life, I still don’t want to preach but I want Christ in my life I never felt so good in my life! I still feel his grace over my life.
Feeling disconnected currently.. I have been praying for certain things in my life for a long time, and eventually started to get disconnected from God not because I lost faith but I just got tired of praying about the same thing over and over again and not receiving answers. Hopefully I can get back in track. 🙏🏾
I thank God for directing me to watch this video. I was actually writing down all five points and verses so that I can read through and meditate on the verses carefully. I've been so far from God for a very long time now and I feel guilty everyday. Please pray for me so that I get back on track.
Dear Brothers and Sisters would you please pray for me? I am feeling far away from God and feel like loosing faith, but I want to feel near to the Lord again🙏❤️
I'm taking you as my personal spiritual coach. Thank you Allen Parr. I have been down for a couple of days now but now my spirit is uplifted. God bless you.
I been struggling SO BAD lately, its like I was on it and then 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾and I feel like their are some people in my life who doesn't support me either but the only person who does is my lover and God which is all I really need in this process. PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH!!!!
Unfortunately, as a teenager, it's really hard to find Christian friends your age that take God seriously. The friends that I have say they are Christian, but they don't really get deep into spiritual talks. My sister used to go into deep spiritual talks with me, and we used to pray with each other, but it seems that she lost her fire for the Lord. When I try to talk about spiritual things with her now, she just seems to brush it off her shoulder, not really caring anymore what I had to say, and what experiences I'm having.
Ive been so wicked cursing God because I see evil person and bullies do things bad on me and never get punished while I was suffering and alone its like I am not important and I found this video.Thanks
I love you with the love of the Lord for this my brother in Christ. God used you to hit every nail in the head with this one. I can relate to all of them. Now it’s time for change. 🗣Speak Holy Ghost!! Glory Be To God🙌🏽
God bless you God's peace filly ou May you see the well of water (blessing) at your side here, is a document docs.google.com/document/d/1cWRZRKuWZCZtbqylOKAPyxGoJw_BmuP4cE8mT5IXYG8/edit?usp=sharing especially at the section "to keep in mind"
I never had this in church. I mean the sharing community. It felt like the church always takes something from us but we never get anything in return. What i mean is I volunteer to help in coordinating and leading but I can't seem to eat the spiritual food the church is giving us. I've always wanted something deeper. It's not penetrating in my heart- the teachings. I don't have a group community there cuz every young adults are busy with their work and school. And whenever we talk, I don't ever hear a simple God Bless you from them. I rarely feel it as a church. I don't want to complain and I'm trying go be strong and do the first moves but they don't seem to do anything. Their butts are really glued to their comfy chairs. I've been planning to leave my church for the sake of me growing spiritually and learning-to break free cuz my church is too traditional. but I also don't want to leave the young generation just like that. They needed someone to guide them and no one's stepping up to lead them but me. I could really use some prayers.
Watching this at 4am because I didn’t feel like picking up my bible like you said in the video.... took so many notes & now I have to apply the work. Thank God for blessing you to make this. 👏🏾
So glad you brought up self care. I have noticed that in many Christian circles, people have this view that self care is selfish and ungodly, but it is so important to take care of yourself mentally and physically. Even Jesus needed time away from people. At one point I was involved with 5 different ministries and became angry and was burned out. I learned that it is possible to DO so much Christian stuff that you actually lose focus as to why you/re doing it and who you're serving and instead, it just becomes another thing on your to do list. I had to learn that saying "no" to people is not unChristian and I had to learn that no, I don't have to be involved in every ministry someone wants me involved in. As a single person, people tend to think I have all the time in the world to do everything they ask me to do and I'm like, "Uh no, I do have my own life and other responsibilities."
Keith Thornton Ask that God will give you an opportunity. He has a plan for you, maybe this is part of it. I know it may be hard to trust. Praying for you, Keith.
Aw God bless you. We are the church-the body of Christ. So consider fellowship with fellow Christians, even virtually! GZI (glory of Zion Intl) is one place
Thanks for this - I think that my biggest sin recently has been the very fact that I'm not in touch with God as much as I was at one point in my life years ago - which has led to so much confusion recently - and it becomes a cycle of guilt that somehow stops me from getting back to God. I hope to start to mend that with a daily set-aside time but also avoiding some of the negative influences in my life, and not to be too hung up on career and hobbies. I hope this will lead to me living the purpose that God has for me.
I just want to say that I strayed from god for a long time, years. But this video and a few others have brought me back I am rededicating my life to christ and am no longer running thank you so much for your time and help.
So am I to believe my disconnect from the Lord is based on feelings? You can’t trust how you feel certain days. But trust in God’s word alone. But we do have the flesh, which lives off feelings and emotions. Not good. Easy to say but so hard to do.
Pls pray for me. I ve been living a healthy life so far n recently going through allergic asthma. I can't forgive my own self for not taking care of my health. I have forgiven every one except me. Though after praying continuously, for the first time I didn't use my rescue inhaler today. Thank God. Help me to forgive n feel your complete healing
can everyone please pray for me :< i feel far from God for so long and felt a lot of guilty that makes me feel unworthy to pray and seek help from him anymore...im scared...ive been suffering from anxiety and depression...im in despair
Hey BEAT Fam! Today's video is to encourage anyone who may be feeling a bit down spiritually. Perhaps you've lost your way and you wonder if/how you can get back on track with God. I hope you find this video helpful and encouraging.
Am Blessed Allan. Thanks for inspiring words to many people.
Thanks alot
Thanks Allen this was a right on time video. This is the very thing I’m struggling with at this very moment! I feel like God is so angry with me because I keep falling back into things I know I shouldn’t. I love Him I really do but at times I feel like everything you’ve described in this video. Whenever I want to turn away from my sinful nature it comes on even stronger. I hate my fleshly nature(if that’s even a word lol) but I get caught up. I know God is tired of my tears and hearing I’m sorry but it’s true; I hate my sin and I don’t know how to get out of it. The last thing I want to hear is I never knew you!!! Thank you for the video and may God bless you.🙂
This is so good! My fiancée has been going thru this herself. I myself have had seasons where I've felt far from God. This video has truly been a blessing. Thank you Pastor Allen for these wise, love-filled words of encouragement and counsel. Grately appreciate it😁😁
Very helpful. Thank.
I,'ve got Matha wrtten all over me.
Just like with any relationship, when you feel distant you gotta put in the work to get back in good standing. In human relationship it's not always your fault but our relationship with God is different we are always the problem.

effgoogle what makes you think that?
effgoogle 1st of all, no God is not an “asshole”. If anything we are! We sin against a good and holy God. We deserve all of this. So don’t blame it on God. But if we repent and believe the gospel we can be saved💙🙏🏽
@@yourbore I said stuff like that in 2000 and very wicked men would even tell me I wouldn't talk that way about God. Of course I didn't listen and just kept flicking the bird at heaven cursing God till tragedy hit my life soon after. The tragedy wasn't to destroy me but to give me one last chance to repent. I did repent only after suffering intensely. One thing I realized after being a Christian nearly 20 years is God has no fault and no sin. He gives and takes away and he has the right as God to do so. I hope you choose the right path like I did but if you keep speaking like this about your creator something bad will happen as a result i can be sure of it. One co-worker I had knew I was a Christian and thought it was funny to tell me day after day he loved Satan and that he gives his soul to Satan. I told him not to speak like that because something bad would happen and sure enough he ran over someone in his car by accident and they died. Now he has to live with that guilt which is what Satan wanted and I warned him beforehand. Be careful!!
I've definitely been there! Guessing most people have too!
It's one of the things that makes human.

continously pray!
God hears prayers🙏🏽
NotMadeWithHands, I know you posted this comment a year ago but I hope you have come back to The Lord. Sin only brings pleasure for a moment but the consequences are devastating. Remember that story of the Prodigal Son. God is merciful and always ready to forgive. Our job is to repent and turn away from sin. This might even include finding a new circle of friends. I pray that you are back under the umbrella of protection that God offers us all through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Perfect timing... I really needed this
David Thorpe same here brother 🙏🏾
I doubt it's a conicidence, it can be a calling from God
Me too
God's perfect timing
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Five essential questions to ask when we feel disconnected from God:
1. Is there some sin in our lives we are not turning from, not confessing, not repenting from? Psalm 32: 3-5.
2. Are we spending consistent time with God doing activities that feed the spirit?
3. Are we spending consistent time with God's people in Christian Community?
4. Are we being distracted by something? Are we consumed by something other than God? Luke 10: 38-42
5. Are we caring for ourselves?
Thank you K.D.
Amazing thanks
I can't remember all my sins or should i say I can remember most of my sins but not all the details of how many times and all the ins and outs of all those sins. if that makes sense
❤️❤️
I need to be on god side. This is crazy SOMEONE TELL ME. What I do to get a Way from my family that . Is in sin
This came JUST time....
I'm literally in tears Rn...
Amen sister/brother
Knowing that nothing can seperate Him from me helps.... we all go through this (and I've been a pastor 10 years).... thanx for sharing
Wow! Thank you for sharing. This is really encouraging for me as I've been feeling disconnected here for a while.
@@T.A.Persinger nothing shall snatch you from His hand and although things might get worse before they get better stay in faith my friend
Thanks for sharing that even as a pastor this happens to you. It’s crazy how we feel like we are the only one this happens to. Another one of satan’s lies. I’m in that place right now.
Steve Karma thank you for this, God bless
I appreciate this. Sometimes I feel like I'm not being "holy enough" which obv is where I go wrong. We are saved through our trust in Jesus alone, and we work not to be saved but because it is our duty, and I forget that. God bless you and your church!
Needed to hear this I have felt distracted from God I go to church every Sunday and I come home to my home where my mother allows premarital sex, alcohol, drugs, verbally and emotionally abuses me. Please pray that I stay strong in the Lord and removed from this bondage... Thank you
🙏
One of the best 12 minutes I spent. Funny thing is I've been struggling a lot lately. I question everything, and I'm bitter towards the world. But the thing that gets me is that week before I was on FIRE for God and now I'm finding it hard to even pray without feeling empty. This video was an eyeopener for me, thank you it was just what I needed. I feel God speaking through this video, God bless.
Haley Hope same ❤️. I love that we can all grow together, good luck on your journey back walking with him.
Haley Hope that’s me now. But this video is awesome!
Wow, almost cried
This is exactly how I feel right now. My heart feels empty
Same.❤️🤗
I think sometimes God lets us feel far away from Him even when we are striving to stay close because we learn to trust Him more completely, instead of relying on our feelings, which can be deceiving. Even feeling close to Him could be a deception. Consider the Pharisees who thought they were closer to God than "sinners" because of their position, knowledge of the word, and their strict adherence to the law. Jesus rebuked them over and over again but they didn't "get" it.
Well said. We are more dependent on Him when we strive to keep Him close
This comment deserves way more likes
True
I can't get closer to Him, and I want to, what should I do then??
@@nadacolic7775 heyy so I’ll try giving u advice to get closer to the Lord.
: pray everyday and night
: when praying dont always say what u want in life tell him u love him
: read the bible it will really help u learn more about him!
: listen to more Christian songs with meaningful lyrics
: have a conversation with God
: pray before u eat meals
: read bible quotes
As someone who feels like a lukewarm Christian, it’s amazing to me how I can put my worries aside and just stop and say “God has my back” and suddenly everything just feels like it’s going to be okay. It allows me to focus on my goals despite the pain and I myself interpret that as a form of the strength of the lord mentioned in the Bible
I have friends, many close ones, but so few are Christian and believers. I've recently discovered that the hard way that I need to surround myself with more Christians. It's been a nice and refreshing wake up as well. I could also use some prayers if anyone on this comment section has some free time in their day. This is a great video as I need to get back to being right with God and I feel like I'm making progress but keep stumbling here and there. But at least it's progress.
Preston Phillips I prayed for you love
@@justablkgirlvibin Thanks Jaylyn! Will be praying for you too.
Hi Preston, I will be praying for you to find other Christians to fellowship with. That is where I struggle too. I have no Christian friends either.
Yeah since I've given my life to Christ I've seen how it's so much different now around my friends. They want to do things I don't want to do anymore and they start to see the way I've become as been extreme and monk like lol, I continue to pray for them and still speak to them about God but Christian friendship is definitely important in helping spiritual growth and walking with God.
Hi, thank you for commenting, I have the problem of not having many Christian friends. Most of the ones I do have live in America and I live in England . I would love to have Christian friends much closer to where I live. I will pray for you too.
Man there’s so much fruit in this channel. Thank you brother Allen for your obedience to the Lord. It’s like no matter where I’m at in my walk somehow someway the Holy Spirit continues to speak through you and encourages me to keep on keeping on with my walk with the Lord. God continues to lead me through His word domino effecting my wife and kids. Thanks for being an source of encouragement. Praying that God will continue to strengthen you man
Man! That was so kind Jeff. I really appreciate you saying that. God bless you richly,
I love this channel. Glory be to God always for His children!
I really needed this, lately I’ve been feeling so burned out after feeling the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit within me, it just all of a sudden disappeared and I feel so guilty for feeling tired and burned out like this 😔👉👈 God bless you! Thank you so much ✨
I'm so lazy. I miss the days when i used to praise,worship and pray to God. Now, i'm just so lazy, i don't feel God, too lazy to repent, overthinking,anxiety,fear. Sometimes i think that he will not heal me anymore because of how bad i am.. Sometimes i think i did the unforgivable sin. Please pray for me! I just wanna do those worldy things these days, i'm actually just 10, sometimes i don't understand why i'm going through this in such a young age... I miss Jesus so muchh, almost cried while typing this
I feel you. I'm going through the same thing myself. I don't wanna give you that "Just keep praying" dialog or "Just wait for him". I'm also praying and waiting. So just know I'm somewhere feeling the exact same thing. But I know this. The unforgivable sin is Blaspheme against the holy spirit. But blasphemy is only when you've spent your ENTIRE life not wanting/caring/seeking Jesus. So if you felt guilty or worried enough to ask for help then you haven't committed the sin. You feel bad. You care. People who've shot down christ at every turn are the ones who've committed blasphemy. I'm 15 by the by.
@@Pablo-mk5jlI’m going through this right now and I feel like I’ve let so many people down, most of all the Lord. I can’t figure out how to repent, regain my desire for God, Faith, everything. I don’t want to struggle with this anymore, God Bless all of you, Amen
2020 has brought me back to the big man. I spent a long time being angry and bitter at him for my reasonably unpleasant life. But one day I just felt like I wanted to give him another chance. And now I'm feeling better.
I felt like if you were talking directly to me , because I have been feeling far from God , I can relate with all that you said , God bless you.
When God's timing is just right so that I see when this is uploaded
I’ve only been in the light of the ALMIGHTY for 15 months and pray all the time for me to be on fire for the MOST HIGH for the length of my days. I see how people fall off or stumble and I for sure don’t want that for me.
I need all of theses scriptures
I want to make it in haven I want to here well done my good and Faithful servant
The pure power of God over the power of the sinful world always!
Oh my goodness. What a time to do a video. I've been struggling with God. Lots of anger, confusion, resentment, frustration...and I've taken it all out on God because I am sick of feeling like He doesn't care. About 2 hours ago, I literally was telling Him that I just want to walk away because I don't understand why I am excluded from the peace, love, self-control, patience and other fruits He promises through the Holy Spirit. I want the witness of the Holy Spirit. I've been at this for months and am just exhausted of trying to perform for Jesus.
Well the good news is you don't have to. God doesn't want your labour. He wants you. Just the way you are. He just needs you to turn to Him for help.
@@itsthejourney2836 Buddy, this mess you're talking to needs A LOT OF HELP.
@@aakk009 in your defence, we're human. Humans tend to make a lot of messes😂. Don't blame yourself. It doesn't make it any better. You'll just lose self esteem. We all fall every now and then,but the important part is to get back up. After all, "though the righteous fall seven times,they rise again,but the wicked fall when calamity strikes"(proverbs 24:16). Just talk to Him. Tell Him what's going on, no matter how hard it is. Cast your cares (1 Peter 5:7) . You don't have to be a certain way for God to love you. Let Him be the help you need. P.s, you're not alone. We go through this together ✊

It is so hard to unlearn all of the false doctrine I was taught from childhood. Thank you so much for these videos.

I’ve been praying to God, asking Him why I haven’t felt that fire lately . This showed up on my feed, i feel it in my heart that it’s the confirmation I needed to hear. I won’t just ask the questions I’ll will make sure to take action, and live them out. God is good!

I've been there many times. Right now, I've been feeling that way. Haven't been to church in a while. Stop reading my Bible. I appreciate you being there to help remind me of what I should do. You have helped me through several difficult times. Thanks friend.
I haven't been taking care of myself like I should. I haven't been getting enough sleep. I haven't been eating much or eating the right things. Running back and forth to my children school's. I pick my Bible up and fall asleep. Thanks for the tips. It's not easy being a single mom. I wish all the weight of the responsibility wasn't on me alone. I don't even have the support of family on my side to help. I'm constantly focusing on what I need to do for the children. So it has become a big distraction. I need God more than ever right know. Please keep me in your prayers. Pray that the load I'm carrying gets a little lighter.
I needed this at this time... Thanks and God bless, Allen!
same
same!
I need to watch this Over and Over.
Thank you man of God, I needed this so much. It’s beautiful that a community of Christians can really affect each other’s Spirit in various ways.
It was really hard for me to search for help for feeling disconnected because of how deeply I love him. I'm glad I didn't listen to the enemy saying "you should feel ashamed and He's not gonna hear you anymore because you abandoned him"..This video definitely helped me narrow down what's been happening. Thank you for this.
My my. Lord may I never ever backslide from you . IJMN I Pray
Please pray for me, I'm actually 20 and struggling with illness and I want to feel peace from God. I'm in need of guidance and prayer. Thank you guys.
are you okay now?
you described how I feel. Tired and burned out.. No self care. I try to spend time reading my bible but fall asleep.
This couldn't have came at a better time. Lately I've noticed I haven't read or studied the bible. Thanks Allen!!
There was a time many years ago where I walked close with God....but I fell away. Throughout this falling away, God rested on my mind though, I'd pray, but I felt no connection, and further into the darkness did I go. Porn, meanness, and general depravity have ruled my life. The whole time I absolutely detested myself. I wanted to be better, but couldn't find the will to actually change myself. I got caught up in a destructive cycle of sin and shame, hating myself more and more, thinking of God and seeking his light more and more. When not distracted my thoughts would often reflect on the Bible. I studied it from Genesis to Revelations when I was walking with God and I love to think on it even now. Today I prayed to Jesus, and in my prayer I said I absolutely did not deserve any kind of forgiveness, but isn't that the very definition of grace and mercy? I found your video, which is very well done by the way, and I see in your background live by grace, not perfection...which could not have been more relevant to me and my life. Thank you for the uplifting message. My souls feels at peace at the moment and I can't help but to think your video has blessed me, and I hope God blesses you in return.
3 E's of ministry and community: edify encourage and equip
I'm so happy I'm not alone! I get scared sometimes because I don't want to go to hell. I feel bad because I feel far from God. I feel like he's giving me a lot of hints to show me that he's still there waiting for me. This video is just another way God is speaking to me. 👍
I feel the exact same way. I want to be a good Christian and I want to fix my relationship with God. But I feel guilty for my sins. I feel like people will judge me for being religious because of my past. I also feel that I'm so use to praying only when I want something or when I'm in a bad place that I don't know how to pray if I don't want something.
@@mellissaferriera1548 I've learned that we have to give it all to God. That's what he wants from us! We give it all and he'll take care of it. Give it all to him Mellissa and get back on that straight and narrow road WITH God. That's something I'm starting to do right now. It's difficult, my temptations to go back to those sins are there and at times seem very easy to do. Within 3-5 seconds of thinking about sinning, I bring in JESUS and talk to him to help me OUT of my sin. Try it 😀. I'm here if you need help.
I really needed this! You have no idea. Please pray for me as I struggle to get closer to God by distractions around me.
this is clearly a sign that God wants me to get back to him. he gave me just enough motivation to watch this vid.
praise the Lord
He's gotchu
also as you read the Bible, this document ha s a section called _read this about the Bible_ docs.google.com/document/d/1cWRZRKuWZCZtbqylOKAPyxGoJw_BmuP4cE8mT5IXYG8/edit?usp=sharing
I can relate with the point 5, sometimes when I reach to God for help after that I have the necessity to rest physically, have a nap. I have those difficulties when I'm in a stressful situation and after God showed me his mercy through the Bible then i finally can catch a few "Z's"
I like how he did this without condemning or guilt-tripping anyone, also without sounding patronizing. Most of us can relate to at least one of these points I think.
You talking to me brother...this is how i feel..this is on point
for some reason I feel so low and different from other Christians when I go through this. Thank God he always reminds us to follow his voice and not let the devil make us feel inferior❤
Yes, My husband!!! He will do anything to distract my walk. :( He's a non-believer.
Kandi_Cane H. Same here! My husband always talks about how God was horrible in the Old Testament.

I mean sure he killed all the firstborn sons of Egypt but the Pharaoh ordered an extermination of the firstborn sons of Israelites first in the Exodus.

I just subscribed to your channel ,i want to go to heaven so bad i find myself searching for videos like these i stumbled on yours.I do not want to feel disconnected from God ,i cant even fathom being cut off from God forever . Thank you for this video
Thank you for posting this video Mister Parr. I am failing in all of these places. I would be very thankful if someone could take the time to pray for me in these areas of my life. Thank you.
This was an excellent video, and Bible based! Without getting into too much detail, I realised that I had become disconnected from God and felt discouraged. I realized that I had not given up and repented from a sin that I have been unwillingly for some time to give up. To be honest, I've been trying to convince myself that I had given up that sin, or that it was "okay" to commit that sin because of my relationship status. Anyways, just the past few days I made the ultimate decision to officially repent from that sin and got rid of a certain item that was holding me captive to that sin. I'm in the process of repenting and my goal this Sunday is to get back into church and seek fellowship with other Christians.
Greetings to you brother Allen, I'm all the way from South Africa and I just want to say that I've just been so blessed and encouraged by your teachings- which is always based on God's word. Please continue doing what you're doing.
I know that this is a little bit bad, but I think that one reason it's easy to spend too much time on other things, especially other people, than God is because we can see and touch everything in this world, but we don't see or hear verbal responses from Jesus. In Heaven, it will be much better because we'll get to see Jesus, be around Him, give Him a hug, and everything we've been wanting to do but can't in this life.
Great teaching my brother. You’re a blessing!
Jesus:
John 14: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
Jesus: John 8: 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
Acts 5: 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
John 6: 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
James 4: 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
May God help me and give me.
Philippians 4: 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [d]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [e]lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [f]dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
This post was absolutely an answer to my prayers. I'm a Christian and I've struggled with distance from God. I am grateful for your breakdown and I've found myself in your solutions. Thank you for not making me feel less than because I'm going through a dry season. I won't stay here, thanks to you. And God!
i have never ever ever found someone reflecting this much to my spiritual life thank you soo much for helping me fight my battle very well and BEAT FAM keep in mind that we are already at war and we are warriors of christ!!!!!
I'm 15 years old and I'm really struggling with my life as a teenager,I really needed this!
I am 16 and I struggle with this to. We are teens and we don't have a complete mindset. Satan will try to tempt us but when we have god in our hearts nothing can stop us
I’m afraid I am not going to see my Father in heaven. I was struggling with OCD and anxiety and a event that happened to be has been haunting me and has caused deep stress and I believed fear. I never gave God a chance. Today I was happy rejoicing in God trying to fight my past and the fear came back. I was heartbroken and got on my knees and cried to God. I actually blasphemed against the Holy Spirit our of anger towards God and felt immense guilt. My mother reassured me and when everything was okay I got an intentional thought of challenging God and got a thought that I actually blasphemed the Holy Spirit. After that that I was torn and filled with guilt knowing I would never challenge my Father. I am extremely scared I let fear win. I truly love God and Jesus and fear Him but my thoughts have tormented me. I have failed God who I love so much. I had such a good soul and believed in Jesus but didn’t have faith. I’m so scared.
I will pray for u, a lot of people including myself have been feeling disconnected/distracted from god lately, i think its my fault as well, I keep sinning and its hard to stop gluttony, when I'm being tempted with junk food almost all the time, also I keep getting distracted. But keep going even if you feel like giving up, also i feel like this is a trial/test. Here's some bible verses tp help u, if ur feeling down, stressed, depressed, etc. ♥🙌🏾🙏🏾 www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/forgiveness-bible-verses/ www.openbible.info/topics/discouragement www.openbible.info/topics/failure www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/hope-bible-verses/ www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/depression-bible-verses/ www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/stress-bible-verses/
Hey look up on UA-cam blasphemy of the Holy Spirit by Melissa Dougherty where she explains what it means, doesn't look like you committed it.
Amén 🙏
I need to go back
Thanks for sharing these questions
This happens to other people? Wow, I indeed thought it was only me!
Thank you so much brother. I m a doctor and married before 10 months and I am overwhelmed with my job and pg preparation and household works and I felt so drained out, confused and so far away from my Lord. I used to have a wonderful relationship with my Redeemer. But I feel like will I ever go there again??? I am longing but of course so distracted. Thank you so much for the video brother. I hope really really hope I will get my sweet relationship with Him again forever
It makes me feel far from God when I ask him to speak to me with an audible voice and he doesn't do it again but I am glad he doesn't allow demons to do it.
I know where to start now.glory to God
can you guys pray for me? I've been getting distracted by many small things. I have been busy doing things that are good just for myself that I get lost in the track of God. Thankyou so much.
I will pray for you my sister in Christ ❤️
Sameeee will be praying 🤍🤍🥺
Whenever im reading comment sections from such vids, i just sometimes feel sooooo happy that we are all gathered here in the name of the father
I came here because I’m sure God wanted me back in his presence. I was once dreaming of dying for Jesus while sharing the Gospel to others. I lost my way. My soul is empty. I don’t feel God anymore. All i wanted is to help my self and my parents. I’m struggling with sexual sin. I can’t go to church because of pandemic. Please pray for me.
How does it feel the day you are born that you are in good touch with papa Yahweh ? I just turn 30 and I spend my entire fucking birthday in my room why Am I still alive why is he keep on waking me up each morning .knowing that I don't do good in my life or in other ..I spend my stupid life feeling fucking empty and it hurt me ..I rob drug dealers for fun because I dislike ,I always put my life in danger knowing that I have a mother that love me to death....I hear those horse shoe sound getting louder each night where I sleep in the forest ....I don't want to make war with Yahweh or his right army...I refuse to sever Lucifer that cocksucker ..I don't wanna do no evil deed ....but I know in my heart that evil and evil person and evil demon talk to me to work with them ...I just to put the gun in my mouth
@@marthagomez7700 My friend, I do not know you, but I want to inform you that the devil has been planting false lies in your head. He has been doing the same to me, though. But Jesus, praise be His name, has saved us from sin through His death on the cross. Is it hard to believe? If it is, I know your pain. But I have realized that I just need to trust in Jesus. Maybe you don’t know how to do that or where to start. First, I suggest going to a community of believers. Get in touch with God. Please, He loves you so much. He showed that. Trust in His Son. We will get through this.
That's when I pray and ask God the Father to pull me closer to Him and help me to draw near to Him as well.. and OH BOY, does asking this work.. He for sure wants us close and after you ask this, He WILL pull you closer to Him.
This word was right on time! Thank you @allenparr for being obedient to the holy spirit
I got licensed as a minister at 23 I thought I wanted to preach , then as I got older I didn’t want to do it. I was church hurt as well in the process so I shut it all out of my life, I still don’t want to preach but I want Christ in my life I never felt so good in my life! I still feel his grace over my life.
Feeling disconnected currently.. I have been praying for certain things in my life for a long time, and eventually started to get disconnected from God not because I lost faith but I just got tired of praying about the same thing over and over again and not receiving answers. Hopefully I can get back in track. 🙏🏾
I'm currently in this season...I'm tired
I thank God for directing me to watch this video. I was actually writing down all five points and verses so that I can read through and meditate on the verses carefully. I've been so far from God for a very long time now and I feel guilty everyday. Please pray for me so that I get back on track.
You always have such great topics!
Dear Brothers and Sisters would you please pray for me? I am feeling far away from God and feel like loosing faith, but I want to feel near to the Lord again🙏❤️
I'm taking you as my personal spiritual coach. Thank you Allen Parr. I have been down for a couple of days now but now my spirit is uplifted. God bless you.
I been struggling SO BAD lately, its like I was on it and then 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾and I feel like their are some people in my life who doesn't support me either but the only person who does is my lover and God which is all I really need in this process. PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH!!!!
Unfortunately, as a teenager, it's really hard to find Christian friends your age that take God seriously. The friends that I have say they are Christian, but they don't really get deep into spiritual talks. My sister used to go into deep spiritual talks with me, and we used to pray with each other, but it seems that she lost her fire for the Lord. When I try to talk about spiritual things with her now, she just seems to brush it off her shoulder, not really caring anymore what I had to say, and what experiences I'm having.
Hi Allen Parr. I hope you reach 1 m subscribers! Because you deserve it!
Thanks Jesus, thanks Allen!
Ive been so wicked cursing God because I see evil person and bullies do things bad on me and never get punished while I was suffering and alone its like I am not important and I found this video.Thanks

Literally a few minutes ago I said to God "Why do I feel so far from You? What did I do? "
Literally scroll and see this 😅 thanks God, I see You ❤❤❤
I love you with the love of the Lord for this my brother in Christ. God used you to hit every nail in the head with this one. I can relate to all of them. Now it’s time for change.
🗣Speak Holy Ghost!! Glory Be To God🙌🏽

May you see the well of water (blessing) at your side
here, is a document docs.google.com/document/d/1cWRZRKuWZCZtbqylOKAPyxGoJw_BmuP4cE8mT5IXYG8/edit?usp=sharing
especially at the section "to keep in mind"
Thank you Fu Jo. May God return your kindness back towards You. Peace
I never had this in church. I mean the sharing community. It felt like the church always takes something from us but we never get anything in return. What i mean is I volunteer to help in coordinating and leading but I can't seem to eat the spiritual food the church is giving us. I've always wanted something deeper. It's not penetrating in my heart- the teachings. I don't have a group community there cuz every young adults are busy with their work and school. And whenever we talk, I don't ever hear a simple God Bless you from them. I rarely feel it as a church. I don't want to complain and I'm trying go be strong and do the first moves but they don't seem to do anything. Their butts are really glued to their comfy chairs. I've been planning to leave my church for the sake of me growing spiritually and learning-to break free cuz my church is too traditional. but I also don't want to leave the young generation just like that. They needed someone to guide them and no one's stepping up to lead them but me. I could really use some prayers.
Watching this at 4am because I didn’t feel like picking up my bible like you said in the video.... took so many notes & now I have to apply the work. Thank God for blessing you to make this. 👏🏾
So glad you brought up self care. I have noticed that in many Christian circles, people have this view that self care is selfish and ungodly, but it is so important to take care of yourself mentally and physically. Even Jesus needed time away from people. At one point I was involved with 5 different ministries and became angry and was burned out. I learned that it is possible to DO so much Christian stuff that you actually lose focus as to why you/re doing it and who you're serving and instead, it just becomes another thing on your to do list. I had to learn that saying "no" to people is not unChristian and I had to learn that no, I don't have to be involved in every ministry someone wants me involved in. As a single person, people tend to think I have all the time in the world to do everything they ask me to do and I'm like, "Uh no, I do have my own life and other responsibilities."
I actually do wish to attend church but my situation henders me
Keith, whatever your situation is, just pray about it. Try to get in that mindset. With God, all things are possible. No doubt.
Keith Thornton Ask that God will give you an opportunity. He has a plan for you, maybe this is part of it. I know it may be hard to trust. Praying for you, Keith.
Hello Keith God bless you!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏❤️✝️🤗 It's so good to see you!!! 😘😘😘🤗🙂
Don’t make excuses make it possible
Aw God bless you. We are the church-the body of Christ. So consider fellowship with fellow Christians, even virtually! GZI (glory of Zion Intl) is one place
Thanks for this - I think that my biggest sin recently has been the very fact that I'm not in touch with God as much as I was at one point in my life years ago - which has led to so much confusion recently - and it becomes a cycle of guilt that somehow stops me from getting back to God. I hope to start to mend that with a daily set-aside time but also avoiding some of the negative influences in my life, and not to be too hung up on career and hobbies. I hope this will lead to me living the purpose that God has for me.
Can you please ever come to the Netherlands? Would be awesome! Your explanation is very good, nice talent!
Honestly the best video to get you back on track, teared me up but also gave me a lot of hope
And it’s not that I don’t care. It’s that I’m burnt out
It’s so weird. I always find videos of yours that I never knew existed right when I need them.
hugooo sameee
fumstix this is truly the work of god
Hey Allen and the beat community, how can I like somebody BUT not put so much energy and focus on them?? Please I'm strugglin with this
I'm not Allen, but someone who cares. Pray about it first of all. And communication is everything. Always go to God first. God bless you.
@@Mark-um5hc thank you so much that really helps :' ) god bless you too!!
I just want to say that I strayed from god for a long time, years. But this video and a few others have brought me back I am rededicating my life to christ and am no longer running thank you so much for your time and help.
Amen thank you for this ❤❤❤❤ 🙏🏾
I was feeling disconnected with God and this came up in my recommendations. I cannot thank you enough.
So am I to believe my disconnect from the Lord is based on feelings? You can’t trust how you feel certain days. But trust in God’s word alone. But we do have the flesh, which lives off feelings and emotions. Not good. Easy to say but so hard to do.
Feel blessed to hear this.. back on track with God.. God bless you all
Pls pray for me. I ve been living a healthy life so far n recently going through allergic asthma. I can't forgive my own self for not taking care of my health. I have forgiven every one except me. Though after praying continuously, for the first time I didn't use my rescue inhaler today. Thank God. Help me to forgive n feel your complete healing
Don't be mad at yourself for your health. You tried your best
I needed this thank yu been 😢 😭 all morning
