- Some say Christmas is demonic. Others say it’s pagan. Others dress up as Santa Claus and Rollerblade around the neighborhood. Or, perhaps it’s an amazing opportunity to share the gospel.

I'm not anti-Christmas but I hate how Santa tries to steal the show, very big distraction from the true meaning - Joe
hello!
Hmm, I feel the same way. If you rearrange the letters Santa becomes Satan. Also it’s a lie...so there you go.
Satan
God bless you. I just watched your channel for the first time today, and we are to be sharing the gospel every day, but they are more open during the holidays. I give out gospel tracts while saying Merry Christmas at this time, and it works. Love you.
So true!
I wish people grabbed their bibles as fast as they did their phones. Phones won’t last, but the word of God stands forever.
Amen
I have a copy of the Bible on my phone so it can go with me everywhere that my phone goes.. thus I read it anywhere! God blessed us with great minds to create technology. God help us to use them for good!
God bless you, brother! I've been struggling with a dimming fire to read God's Word, and noticed I've been distracted A LOT lately. Thank you.
But what if your Bible is on your phone?
B.M.O. Daily... AMEN! Sometimes I think that cell phones are one of the greatest distractions we have today. What would happen if we had an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) that fried everything electronic? Yes, initially there would be chaos, but then people might discover each other again, and turn back to God and their Bibles for answers.
I want nothing for Christmas. Jesus gave the gift ever lasting.
What's in a name? The system is the Antichrist. That system must be rejected, even if it means your death. I mean GOD'S name is not GOD. He is I am.
The system is showing itself for what it truly is more and more. The creator calls to me through my heart and the eye's of my soul. If he calls for me to die... then I will die. I think we will know when it is time to reject the world and prepare to shed our skin. If people don't feel it coming now then it may be to late. So many people are looking to the world for hero's. They just keep biting at the apple and soon it will be gone.
Amen. Jesus, and his sacrifice. The greatest gift that ever was, is, and will be. Hallelyah!
AMEN GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND EVERLASTING LIFE IS THE BEST GIFT
ngl im only with my family in that event to just spend time with them and uh for the spaghetti
“I have a B.A........I’m born again”......I love this!
Are you really born again. Do you celebrate Christmas?
LOL I LOVE THAT
And the guy was so deadpan - he completely didn't even get it. That was the funniest.
One of the best one-liners EVER! 🤣
I couldn’t help but giggle at Marcus. He was not about this interview
"What kind of degree do you have?"
" I have a BA"
"In what?"
"I'm Born Again"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 His face!!
I love Ray's sense of humor, especially with grumpy people!
yooo Ray is toooo coool lolll
😭😭😭
I started dying
I laughed out loud in a quiet place 😂
Love that! And this is true, we, that are born again we have a degree in born again, meaning Holy Spirit teaches us the Holy Scriptures, revealing message of the bible. God bless you all!
I actually have the Evidence Bible by Mr Ray that my mom gave to me in 2006. I still read it. My step son wanted to make sure all of his friends got saved and he used it to help him answer his friend’s questions better and explain more thoroughly. How amazing is that?? God is so Good ALL the time! Thank you Ray.
Amen
I have it to got it this Christmas.
I just purchased one myself off of eBay because the main site was out of stock hope it is a good ministry tool look forward to using it
@@benvalenti8190 KJV is actually the very best Bible to have to go with it. Paul’s epistles are the ones that are to us Gentiles. We are the body of Christ. 2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. There’s Israel’s program (which is not ours,) we are the mystery of the body of Christ. That’s our gospel. That’s rightly dividing the word of God, knowing what’s for us and what’s for Israel. Paul wrote 13 epistles and most of the New Testament and he speaks more about the works of Christ and the promises of God for us than anyone! We are saved by grace through faith, not of of ourselves, it is a gift from God. The book of Romans is our foundation. God bless you! Please use them together ❤️🙏🏻🤗
@@ak49snocat89 i have most of my ministerial life yes thank you I still think having evidence and learning about it is good you can always learn more especially about the world we live in today and the world was surrounding the apostles and how they lived back in
We all sin but thankfully we can be forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ
We can be forgiven IF we REPENT. Repenting is trying to STOP doing that sin. It is not a free pass for sex/drug/rock'nroll or pagan worshipping for that matter. Remember the Israelites that build the golden calf when Moses was on the mountain? They did not have receive yet the interdiction of idol worshipping. Than what happen? God kills THOUSENDS of them and was ready TO EXTERMINATE THEM ALL if Moses have not interceded for the people. Did God knew their heart? OF COURSE HE KNEW! Pagan worship is like spitting in the face of God Almighty. Be lucky those who will have the chance to ask for forgivness before they die...
I cry whenever I hear silent night. Especially when children sing it. I cry at Easter, I cry thinking of what Jesus did and the intensity of that. I cry when someone is saved.
Guys we are going home soon!!! Be ready!
What're you talking about? You're Inside our your house.
I'm so ready!!! This would is getting to be a very scary place!!! (2021)
Yes we areeeeee hallelujah 😭I can’t wait to see my groom!
AndroRana they said home; not house
My heart jumps for joy to hear people worshipping my Savior! Simple but beautiful!
People are not worshipping jesus on Christmas that's I'm Christian and I have never witnessed a christ centered Christmas.....the apostles never celebrated the birth of Jesus..... why celebrate a man made holiday that causes others to stumble and keep others from different religions to come around its better to put it away
@@Repent.Believe.obeyJesus I am grateful to Our Father for sending us the gift of His Son, regardless of the way the world has attempted to pervert the memory of that Gift. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:2)."
I am not saying you should celebrate December 25th, but DEFINITELY celebrate EMMANUEL- God with US! Don't pay attention to the wicked who ATTEMPT to take what is God's and make it into something else. God is sovereign, NOT them. God's definitions are my definitions, regardless of what the world tries to sell- at least that is what I strive for.
@@rikipotsticker9653 absolutely I worship him everyday and partake in the Lords supper which was an actual command but it's not commanded to Celebrate anything else
@@Repent.Believe.obeyJesus Jesus actually commanded some of the people He healed to not tell anyone, but many of them DID. Why? Because they could not contain their joy and thanksgiving- that is the kind of celebration to which I am referring.
@@rikipotsticker9653 YHWH killed Uzzah for trying to do a good thing and catching the ark of the covenant which he was commanded not to touch
Marcus: “Thank you.” My heart melted. Praying for Marcus.
Sadly, his homosexual pride really has him bound up. Continue to pray for Marcus.
Oh for sure, at the end of his interview I saw his eyes soften up.
Almighty has Holy days not holidays..Praise The Lord Most High in Spirit daily..Amen
That's right sister! Our King was born on His Holy Feast Day of Tabernacles! His Death on the Cross was on His Holy Feast Day of Passover, His Burial was on His Holy Feast Day of Unleavened Bread, His Resurrection from the Dead was on His Holy Feast Day of First Fruits, His Holy Spirit given to His Disciples was on His Holy Feast Day of Weeks-Pentecost, and at His Second Coming He will return for His True Ecclesia-Called Out Congregation-The Rapture on His Holy Feast Day of Trumpets, and He will Judge the Living and the Dead on Judgment Day on His Holy Feast Day of Atonement-Yom Kippur, and He will Reign and Rule on Earth in Jerusalem on His Holy Feast Day of Sukkot-Tabernacles-The Marriage Supper of The Lamb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@debrapacheco6532 lol exactly
I was going to respond but thankfully you saved me some typing! Lol God Bless you! :)
@@debrapacheco6532 hey, I'm not being rude but do I really what to know where are the high hola days in the Bible. I know they exist but don't know where are they in the Bible
I think whether Jesus was born in Christmas or not, we should make use of this time as most people are focused on Jesus's birth and they don't know He is our Saviour and Lord, sharing the gospel with them all.
This is exactly how Satan has fooled the world... God turns His face from the traditions of man...
@@Nicki-br3bq God is not against tradition. Only when people use tradition as a judgement of spirituality. Tradition doesn't make you more or less spiritual!
@@graftme3168 No. He will not be grafted with Satin's church
@@stevenfunkhouser8406 Satin is what my sheets are made of.
Esther Emmanuel, a Jewish messianic rabbi says that the MESSIAH was born in the spring time. The spring time is when shepherds would tend their sheep in the fields day and night. Please note that sheep are only born in the spring time. The spring means new beginnings. The MESSIAH IS THE FIRST FRUITS . The MESSIAH was not born on December 25th. Only pagan deities were worshipped and celebrated on December 25th . Sun worship for pagan sun gods. Pagan celebrations of the rebirth of the sun was on December 25th. Google the pagan origin of Christmas , Easter and all holidays .
"I've got a BA"
"In what"
"I'm born again"
HAHAHA so good. Keep up the good work Ray
Every day is a day to share the gospel. However, Christmas origins and history are pagan. Scripture says not to worship Yahweh the way pagans worship their gods. It doesn’t matter what it means to you but what it means to Him.
Rhonda Clark the Israelites worshiped Yahweh with a golden calf which was a tradition they learned from Egyptians - using idols. How did Yahweh react?? The Bible is one book and most Christians neglect the front of the book.
Rhonda Clark if you are worshipping Jesus Christ on that day doing the same things that pagans do for their own gods then it would be meaningless to God. He doesn’t want to be worshipped they what pagans worship their own gods with trees in their homes with red and green decorations and all the other “traditions” that go along. None of those have anything to do with the Christ.
Athanatos He reacted by having the earth swallow them up women men kids and all!!!!
Jesus was born on the feasts of trumpets which will be yom teruah which would be around
Sep 11 3 bc the Catholics and the mainline churches probably got the wrong date but guess what
God has the last word God knew when most of the world was gonna celebrate his son's birthday.
So you know what the meaning of Dec 25th not only is it Hanukkah this year and it often matches the same season that's the feasts of dedication.but if Jesus was born Sep 11 3 bc you count back 9 months guess what he was conceived on the 25th Dec the year before so God has the last word and besides as Christians we don't celebrate santa we celebrate Jesus Christ are Lord and saviour.
Amen, Amen and Amen. Read Jeremiah 10 all the way. Praise Honor and Glory be to The God of Israel My God.
I cried listening to people across the world singing hymns .. so beautiful 😍
Those lady singers from Korean were loverly singers, and it was wonderful to hear them singing about the birth of Jesus. I loved hearing the Hallelujah Chorus again, sung by a flash choir and lastly my favourite "Amazing Grace" not only a beautiful hymn, but also a beautiful reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus
Graham, do you know the story behind the writing of the song, Amazing Grace? It's a beautiful story. Since it is your favorite song, go on UA-cam and look up Alan Jackson singing Amazing Grace and under the comments, I think it is the second one on there, I posted the story behind the writing of it. You will enjoy the story since you love the song. God bless you brother.
@@vickiehudson2668 Thank you for reminding me of this video, as to the story behind Amazing Grace I learnt about it soon after I heard it sung by Judy Collins still my favourite version. You are right it's a fascinating interesting true story
@@vickiehudson2668 Thanks, I'm not sure where I found the story behind "Amazing Grace" which is a powerful story of how God transformed John Newton
It does warm my heart every now and again when you show someone who actually knows what *CHRIST*mas is all about, and how no one deserves Heaven. Seems like the best Christmas gift ever. Also happens to be the first one.
That brought tears to my eyes…thinking of what our saviour did for us on that cross ..the painful ordeal he went through to bring us unto him with the promise of Eternity. These videos have given me the insight that we all are sinners saved by his grace and mercy.
I get away from the commercialism and worship my Lord and have a special meal giving thanks. I don’t deserve what the Lord has done for me, but thankful for His great mercy and love.
Jesus said the world hates him - John 7:7
But The world loves Christmas
Hmmmm is Christmas really about Jesus?
Thank you that's what I tell others! How is it that its suppose to be a so called Christian holiday, yet it's the most celebrated by non Christian's. Its pagan and Santa is satanic.
Its not celebrating Jesus really. Satan created this holiday God showed me that. Look at verses (1 John 2:15) and (John 4:24) we should not love the things in the world, worship him in spirit and in thuth.
confirm !
Good point God Bless you 🙏🏻
The world loves Santa, yet does not celebrate the birth of Jesus. For me, Christmas is all about Jesus. If I were to share the Christmas story at my school, I would be fired. How's that for having the hatred of the world?
Is anyone else crying off and on during this whole video? I accepted Jesus when I was 16 like I think 10 years ago and Jesus’s words are powerful!! I can hardly make it though this video without crying! I don’t like crying but hey the power of God is indescribably AWESOME AND THIS VIDEO IS DOING A VERY NICE JOB BRINGING OUT THE HOLY SPIRT AND HIS EMOTIONS!!!! GOD BLESS YOU IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO READ THIS AND MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS!! ✝️❤️🕊😃
Joyful tears spontaneously flowed at the first song and kept streaming through all the video.....God is Merciful to us and this reminds me of his Love for all of us.
Let’s pray for these souls that don’t know the Lord Jesus and also for faithful men of God like Ray who keep sharing the gospel perpetually and not stopping in front of opposition. Let’s stop arguing on little differences and let’s unite in person if Jesus and share the gospel locally for the Kingdom.
Poor Marcus, he's very hard hearted. Pray for him too.
After being saved and born again in Christ Jesus I stopped many things and christmas was one of them. The Lord spoke to my heart and He told me christmas is not in the bible and it is not of His spirit. After celebrating christmas most of my life I don't miss it anymore its actually hard around this time because it is a false belief. It is a Roman pegan celebration adopted by the catholic church..go figure!
Except there is little to no evidence of Christmas being pagan, biblical or historical.
@@averygibson first we are told from the word of God that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire, so we lie and tell the children Santa Claus is coming, and in one book God said he gets no pleasure in our trees dressed in tinsel...and again we lie on Easter. With Easter bunnies and Easter rabbits,,. when will Christians ever come out of the world? Even the church I went to celebrated Halloween, if they don't know what a evil day that is, then o will not go to church..
@@joanjarrette8691 You said: *first we are told from the word of God that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire, so we lie and tell the children Santa Claus is coming,*
Me: So telling our children stories counts as lying? I guess C. S. Lewis went to hell too?
Regardless, Santa Claus isn't a crucial part of Christmas celebration. We can still celebrate Christmas without Santa Claus (my parents told my brothers and I that our presents were given to us by Jesus. But that's not entirely true either, so I guess they are still lying?)
Further more, Santa Claus does not have pagan origins. He comes from Saint Nicholas, so my statement still stands. Christmas has no pagan origins.
You said: *and in one book God said he gets no pleasure in our trees dressed in tinsel...*
Me: If you are talking about Jeremiah, it is clearly talking about making false idols from tree trunks, not decorating a tree to look pretty. The reason for this is due to historical evidence. There is no evidence that the ancient near east decorared trees as our traditions would have it, so why are we giving Jeremiah or any of the OT that interpretation? We do, however, have evidence that shows people carving idols into tree trunks, so they can worship their gods in the shade. If you are interested in why we have a tradition of Christmas trees, all you need to do is ask.
You said: *and again we lie on Easter. With Easter bunnies and Easter rabbits,,.*
Me: Again, is telling a story a lie? How many authors and storytellers have gone to hell based on your logic?
You said: *Even the church I went to celebrated Halloween, if they don't know what a evil day that is, then o will not go to church..*
Me: Care to share with me how Halloween is an "evil day"?
where is the evidence Jesus was even borne on christmas day apart from fairy tales.
@@averygibson actually saturnalia was a real event in ancient rome..
Saturnalia, held in mid-December, is an ancient Roman pagan festival honoring the agricultural god Saturn. Saturnalia celebrations are the source of many of the traditions we now associate with Christmas.
God used Christmas to get me more interested in Him and it was also the month I heard the Gospel and became Christian!

"What kind of degree do you have?"

"...in?"

😂 God bless Ray's patience and quit-wit with a sound mind given by God to take on a lost soul with TRUTH!
I love watching the flash mob singing and other people join in singing about our GLORIOUS SAVIOR!! Brings tears to my eyes every time and truly fills my heart with joy. MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone in The Way of The MASTER. Praise Christ’s Holy Name indeed! Thank you Jesus for dying for not just my sins but the world’s on the that cross so long ago, rose on the third day. Saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our mighty loving Savior!!!

Please Lord God open peoples eyes, touch there heart❤️
I have never been more encouraged by a Christian ministry in my 20 years of faith!
I sure recognized a lot of Randy Newman-esque music in this minimovie. It gave the piece a lot of holiday atmosphere. Seriously, though, very well done. When I'm feeling a little down, Ray's vids always pick me up and help me to whet up the edge again on why we're still here as believers in Christ.
Out of all the videos I've watched from living waters, this one made me cry,
The people from all around the world singing that beautiful music, oh just moved my heart.!
All my brothers and sisters in Christ there, I had a visual and the love that swelled in my heart! Just amazing! ❤❤
You can tell Marcus, (young man with hat) has a very hardened heart.😔 But I do think it may have softened a bit during Ray's speaking with him. Let's all pray for Marcus and these other eond wonderful people.
I agree. Definitely praying for Marcus. His heart is calling for help. God bless him. Praying for all those who don’t know Jesus 🙏🏼
Ray is a true follower of Christ. He is an amazing street preacher.......hope to see you preaching at Vatican soon.
Amen to that one.
I’m going to pray for Marcus. I feel like he carries a lot of hurt, or sadness. I pray he has a happy life and is converted and goes to heaven.
I cried for the lost, and also for the wonderful flash mobs, singing hymns.. all the way through this video..
Christmas is still the best time to share Jesus!
(I'm ordering those Christmas tracts..)
I, personally, am not concerned with the actual date that Jesus was born. I'm just so beyond grateful that He WAS born and have always loved Christmas. I also love Hanaukah and it's meaning. I do not follow any one religion, but I love God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit with all of my heart. To everyone, everywhere, whether you celebrate the holidays or not, I pray for God's grace, peace, and prosperity for all. May God bless and keep you all always. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Gata Taz I agree with you and I celebrate Jesus everyday and God Bless You And Everyone In God Jesus The Holy Ghost Mighty Name Amen Amen ❤️❤️🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
gata taz December 25th is a pagan date that worshipped a sun god and not Jesus. Mainstream picked it up and put a label on it. A wolf in sheeps clothing is still a wolf
Thank you and the Lord keep and uphold you.
“You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” “Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Jesus wins ,he always wins every argument against him.
@@alisonbruce2486 Amen! Thank you!
Yes the singing is lovely...
But y don't ye sing during the year....Christmas has nothing to do with JESUS....We were set APART for a reason... follow Jesus not worldly stuff... xGod bless you all xx
Amen, amen sister in the faith. You are discerning the times and The Lord has removed the blinders from your eyes. We cannot serve two masters. Better for us to enter heaven missing an eye or hand, than keep them in hell, so we must cut off all Worldliness. You get it sister, I pray many others do as well.
Amen Amen and Amen Sisters.
God bless you Shanny 🙏
I'd rather be Jesus's fruit cake than the Devil's roast 😁
🙂👍
Two billion people do not celebrate Christ. Most Christmases are secular. There is No Christ in my families Christmases. Makes me feel very empty. It's just gluttony. No meaning. A party time.
Doesn't mean it is for everybody.
Couldn't agree more: revelries are a work of the flesh; it's the reason many Christians banned the celebration of Christmas, or condemned it if they lacked that power. Jesus says we can tell a man by his fruits, so we can also tell of the intent of a tradition by its fruits.
I'm sorry to hear that you also haven't a Christian family to look to for encouragement. As you said, it makes us feel empty when those we love do not also love Jesus. Praying God gives you that encouragement, particularly for during this wicked time of the year.
Thats what it is for most Americans. Just because they celebrate does NOT mean they're celebrating Christ. Presents, santa, trees, gold and silver ornaments. Whats really being worshipped?
I experienced exactly this yesterday. One side of family is centered around Christ and time with the family. The other side is as you said.
@@mediocrefloridaman I personally have never seen anyone worship a tree, but it happens. I know that some religions believe that there are spirits in the trees, but that doesn't make the trees a symbol of Satan. Satan copies the things of God and tries to "own" them, but that is an illusion. He doesn't actually own anything. God laughed at the nations who thought their idols had life and power in them. The difference between a Christmas tree being a tradition and being an idol is that Christians know that a tree doesn't have power to do any good or any evil. Only pagans believe that.
I loved this. May God use me to serve His people. Thank you Lord. I love you Jesus ❤ God bless you all
I believe if Jesus wanted us to celebrate His birthday He would definitely have given us the date! Most of the celebrations we see around Christmas time is drunken parties, buying gifts that we can’t afford and expecting gifts that others can’t afford etc. why would Jesus want to give us an excuse to do these things?🙏
Bobbi If your Christina you don’t do this the whole year,including on Christmas.
Abraham then at least pick a day that’s not pagan🙏
Bobbi How is celebrating Jesus’s brith pagan?I don’t get it,I really don’t.Yes stuff doesn’t age happy beginnings with sun shine and rainbows,but what it is now,is to celebrate Jesus’s brith and to glorify God.Yes,there are the bad side and better side of people with celebrating.But still,for something to become new and better then it’s pagan tirditions,is very good.Christmas became a holiday to celebrate Jesus in the end.This applies to sinners,they don’t start out good,but when they know the message,they turn from their sins(some do,some don’t).What you start with doesn’t make you who you are.
Amen
"For God so loved the world he sent his only begotten Son that whoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life". John 3:16. Jesus Christ is the perfect gift from God above everything else. Take the an opportunity of this season and tell someone about it.
This was a beautiful video…God bless you forever Mr. Comfort! I was in tears when the people gathered in the mall and sang Hallelujah, it’s so beautiful. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do in Heaven. ❤️
Praise God! Amen brother 🕊
I’m still searching for December 25th in the Bible, I can’t find it
You can celebrate holidays on dates not true to their original date. Like how we celebrate the sabbath on Sunday and not Saturday.
And u wouldn't be able to find it cos it's not there ...Xmas's is a pegan tradition of the Roman Catholic Church ,has nothing to do with faith ..
@@JoshTheEmoticon as you say these holidays are not true and celebrating what isn't meant we're living a lie and accepts we're deceived despite knowing what is the truth
Trust Jesus John14:6 : However, if you want to know what is in the Bible about the birth of Christ you need to study about Zechariah, the conception and birth of John the Baptist, when the angel appeared to him ( time of year he was serving at the temple when the angel of the Lord appeared to him).
When did the angel appear to Mary (what time of year was it? )
Doing a simple Bible study and a simple math problem will bring you very very close to the date...
Also, check this website too because it is all calculated for you.. www.luziusschneider.com/Papers/JesusDateOfBirth.htm.
But really study the Bible for yourself it is the best way to learn about the feasts of the Lord and that Christ fulfilled all spring feast already.. there is so much there in plain site for those with eyes to see and ears to ear....
@Deus Vult You just said its okay to cherry pick some of the Scriptures and disregard it in exchange of tradition. You never really studied the *whole* Bible all you believe is the doctrines you learned from your religion
Praying for these Souls ,
“What degree do you have?”

Thank you Ray. This was the best gift I could have received this Christmas.
I once again feel great sadness for this lost world I have Jesus but I know and I'm humbled by the fact I don't deserve him praise Jesus
Ray, you're awesome mate and doing an excellent job. All the best for this Christmas to you and your family and the Living Waters team, from me in Christchurch, New Zealand. God bless.
“I’ve got a BA, I’m BORN AGAIN”😂 Christian apologetics doesn’t make me laugh but that was hilarious.
Merry and blessed Christmas to the Living Waters family!
May you have a wonderful and heavenly new year.
Love hearing the voices of brothers and sisters world wide praising the Lord!! Love that Jesus gave His life to save a wretched sinner like me! Praise the Lord!!
This is TRUTH!!
And it shall set you FREE!!
God did not let us know on which date Our Lord was born! Therefore, Any Day we decide to Celebrate and Honor Christ is Alright to me!! The fact that this time a year People sing about Him and are More kind to others Can't be a Bad Thing.
Exactly..
Pagan look up origin of yule, yule log, yule carrols
@xan mock now burn later
I disagree. Christmas and celebrating it does Not Mock God!!Satan will find anyway to turn everything around and us away from God. I no longer celebrate Halloween Because Everything about it Is Against God! Yule log...ect...And Mocking God comments are ridiculous. This World is Run By Satan,Therfore Almost impossible to find anything Godly about Anything man does. And is exactly why I feel "The Christmas Spirit " and how people want to show or celebrate that Gives Glory and Acknowledgment That Our Lord Is Very Real 🖒❤
@@marieh7396 a friend of the world is an enemy of God! U must go by scripture and not celebrate these Pagan traditions! I don't get why it's so hard to understand this Christmas spell from Hell. It's a spell Satan has cast upon this world.
Just watched the whole movie. It delights me to witness the gospel shared around the world 🌎 through a UA-cam video. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few. It’s an honor to be working with those who serve Christ. Thanks @Livingwaters thank you Church. Much love from Decatur, IL

Christmas trees don't have faces or legs. Elizabeth.......Jer. 10 isn't about trees...but about carved idols.

So there is your answer. When was he born? Truly only he knows and his Father knows and perhaps some believers know.
What's more important is that Jesus does still live and he saved us all from death if only we should believe in him.
Amen....
The Vatican is the whore of Babylon. Infiltrated by evil long ago.
Beautiful video ! I always love your content . Always inspires me to get out there and share the gospel .
My brethren in CHRIST.
I am humbly requesting you all to pray for my family.
We are breaking out of this churchianity.
Here in our homeland (Nagaland,INDIA) we will be one among the first to become non-dinominational. Forsaking all this pagan holiday practices such as Christmas,Easter and so on.For which reason, even our close ones and family members will look at us as loosing our senses, we will be ridiculed and treated as outcaste by our own community.
Keep us in your prayer as we want to live for Christ and please Him only.
Thank you. 🙏
Watching the songs being sung by the large groups in that manner has me imagining the children there who witness all of these people singing praise to the lord. I hope that it is an experience for them that leads them to the lord. I could imagine me seeing that as a child and thinking to myself how powerful that is that all of these people just started singing praise to the lord. That was so cool
I have no words for how much I enjoyed this! I even started looking at my hands😊
from 38:00 to 38:30 Ray Comfort gives his credentials ...love it!
"What kind of degree do you have?" "I've got a BA. I'm born again."
That was great.
What a wonderful Christmas blessing you are! Thank you living waters! Thank you Lord of Lord's!
Those that know their God will do great exploits!
Share the Gospel!
Share the Blessed Hope!
This video was so amazing, the word is everywhere, thank the Lord! 🙌🏻
I love it when all those people stand up and start singing inside the mall.
Love that the 1St shall be last and the last shall be first. That scene where Ray has candy and the kids line up the greedy kids shove their way up front but the humble kids are at the end love what Ray did turned the line 180 degrees and gave the candy at the end of the line I can’t emagine the pure joy on the faces of the kids I know it was only candy but to see the smile. and the greedy ones got the leftovers that’s the kingdom of heaven
Thank you for doing what you are doing and spreading the gospel! God bless you all!!
I felt GODS grace in FRANCE ☺️.
LOVE FROM INDIA.
These videos are always motivating.
I have got a B.A - Born Again ,I love it lol
Merry Christmas everyone. John 3:16 always pops up in mind on Christmas. God loves us this much
Christmas is not biblical.
@@Noah-sc3yx then a Saviour did not born
@@jestervanchhawng Is there any bible verse in the holy scripture where said sth about the christmas? They just telling about the birth of Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing about christmas :)
@@Noah-sc3yx seems like you don't need a Saviour. You may read the bible. But you don't understand it i guess
@@jestervanchhawng did I said that?😅
A big amen to Ray's concept of redeeming this time of year no matter what you think of it.
With my own children we avoided the commercialism of gift-giving but would sometimes Go door-to-door singing Christ honoring Christmas carols and giving out gospel tracts.
I truly believe in what you are doing where you are living. I am newly awakened in the Word of God and in His son Christ Jesus. I feel I need a deliverance in my life. I have not found anyone in my area that does hands on prayer for deliverance. I desire to do Gods. Work like you. May God bless you and keep you in His care.
I would love an Evidence Bible and chocolates 😄. Beautiful events happening in these videos. The transformation of people hearing the true gospel! I get emotional watching sometimes. God bless You Ray & team ❤️
CAN YOU SEE THE CONVICTION OF HEARTS BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!?
HALLELUJAH!!
That intro had me in tears lol 🤣 HI BOB. Oh man. I feel a little bad about laughing.
Production quality is really good! You are planting seeds! Inspiring!
for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God - Luke 16:15b
Christmas is highly esteemed among men
Isn’t Jeus on the cross love day many men also,Or Jesus’s brith.Im sorry but that arguement is the worse arguement is the worse one on this whole comment section.Many things in the Bible are loved by men in the Bible.And in that case they would hated by God,which I doubt.
Merry Christmas!
... yet American teachers get fired if they talk about Christmas in their classrooms.
Jane Dough It isn’t pagan though.And stop guilt tripping,use love instead.If you want to change someone’s mind don’t try to make them feel like they are a monster.Not a good look.I don’t see why celebrating Jesus’s birth is bad.
Jane Dough Also you didn’t debunk anything I said,you just called me a liar with no proof mate.
I always come to these videos on Christmas just to see others with the same beliefs. I haven't celebrated in a few years. Many people are depressed around this time. How can God be a part of that?
Depression comes from loneliness. We do have free will. It is ok when we have our free will to sin but it is bot ok when we feel the payment of our sins. I am a recent BA major 🤭 🤗😍 If you want to feel Christmas (I did not feel it for 37 years, even though I was a believer but I was not BA ) For this Cristmass tryyyy giving and receiving love. It's life changing! If you don't know anyone arround you, go help a homeless, a widow, an orphan. Spend time with him/her and you will feel love, hope, and you will never feel alone so no more depression. I know, i knoooow it seems easy, it is not but worth a try. 🤗🤗 Than please leave Jesus in your life and you will never ever feel alone. If I misunderstood you I am sorry, english is not my native language 🤗
@@flomtn thank you for your heart felt comment 💖 I'm not lonely but many people are around this time. I choose not to celebrate the pagan holidays. I would love to help others
I'm Jewish, and have never dragged an evergreen tree into my house in any season. I try to stay away from paganism even if it is fun. I worship the most well known Jew in history Yeshua
Beautiful ! Your best one yet. Very inspiring.
Thank you so much for this video, give me view deeper about God, punishment, and His way to save us from hell. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow cool I never thought there's a living waters ministry here in Philippines. wish I can join them. 😍
Beautiful! I love to see this! May God continue to bless and provide for your ministry.
Thank you for ALL you do ❤️!!!
When is it ever a bad time to celebrate "what our good God for us has done in sending His beloved Son" ? (Wexford Carol.)
The bible says we have to honor God how he wants to be honored because men honor him in vain.
I was seeking the Lord about Christmas and I received this word on the 23 December 2019:
"It is that time of year again when those who think they know me claim to celebrate my birth. Look to me and not to the traditions of men. I did not die for you so you could be stuck in religious practices. Forsake all and follow me. Jesus"
Matthew 15:7-9 NKJV
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: [8] 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. [9] And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "
Mark 7:9 NKJV
He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
Luke 14:33 NKJV
So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
Can you please tell me how you received this message? Thank you.
@@pulsiui4003 The Lord speaks to me. He wants to speak to every believer. Most people however are too distracted to recognise when he does speak. Have a look on my channel. The Lord has said many things to me. God bless
John 10:27 NKJV
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
@@healedbyjesus I will check it out. Thanks for sharing.
God speaks to man through his written word. You are claiming extra revelation which is heresy. The canon is closed. You are sadly deceived. Satans legion has been fooling you masquerading as an angel of light! When you seek signs and wonders you will certainly get them but they arent coming from God.
@@gigiis526 Yes God speaks through his word. He also speaks directly to believers. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they follow me. If God asked you to go and speak to a specific person, would you say no it can't be from God because it's not written in the Bible? The message I have received does not contradict the Bible. It is supported by the scriptures. Jesus rebukes the Pharisees and the scribes because they rejected the commandments of God to keep their traditions. After Jesus had risen nobody celebrated his birth. We are commanded to remember his death. So Christmas is a tradition of men and a religious practice.
Matthew 15:7-9 NKJV
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: [8] 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. [9] And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "
Mark 7:9 NKJV
He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
Luke 14:33 NKJV
So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
Happy Hannukah!
Btw I love the flashmobs. My heart is full listening to Brothers and Sisters loving the Lord in worship.
xan Good tidings to you (sorry I don't celebrate Christmas anymore since I found out that December 25th it actually celebrates Zeus/Tammuz's birthday).
If you want to celebrate our Messiahs birthday He was born during Sukkot in September/October.
xan God bless you and your family xo
I love your evangelistic method learning alot
"I was normal before I met you" 🤣
Love you, Ray
‘I’ve got a B.A’
‘In’?’
I’ve been Born Again.
I’m using that one. Wisdom > education
I absolutely loved watching all the different countries singing. It was like “Magical”. Thanks for sharing.
Truly the Gospel is being preached in every country throughout the world. Thank You Jesus! 🙌☝️🙌🙏
North Koria? Not judging God BLESS
@@MrYeet-ip4qj ..actually yes even North Korea, thats why believers are being tortured, imprisoned and killed there, the communist Korean government doesn't like their gospel message and favoritism with the God of the bible, that satanic government only wants their President or leader to be worshipped as a god.I believe the under ground churches there are slowly but surely getting the message out. God bless and peace be to you.🙏
