  • Do you know how to put God first in your life? It's easier said than done. We are always told how to do it but we are seldom told why it's important that we do. If we don't put God first, we could possibly be blocking our own blessings from being poured out on our lives. This video will help you put God first in your life and help you understand why.

    Hey FAM! I'm doing a series of videos to help us get off to a great start in 2020. NEWSFLASH - GOD WANTS PRIORITY STATUS IN YOUR LIFE. Let's put Him first in every area of our lives (financially, relationally, career, dreams, goals, etc.). He deserves it!

      When are you going to tell all of your followers that the oldest manuscript of the Old Testament was written in Greek and is called the Septuagint... That the New Testament was also written in Greek. That it's Greek mythology riddled in allegory, parables, parallels, and metaphor.. That Jesus said dont follow the pharisees and lawyers spreading RELIGION like you are.

      Please watch Derek Prince’s ‘how to be delivered (from evil spirits/demons) (1995)’, he was a true man of God and that video is so truly powerful. If you follow the deliverance and prayers genuinely I know you can be healed. May God bless you bro stay strong in Christ, don’t think about what other people have to say about your faith and follow God’s will in everything you do and you for sure will be following the right path. I’m in High School and I get how loving God and living for Him righteously can be hard among many unsaved people our age. Praying for you

      Prayed for you ,I have suffered from depression and it can be debilitating, please make sure you get help from a doctor. Medicine can help it takes time maybe a week or two to get into your system but it really helps . Please don't neglect it . Hang in there and give this some time things do get better . Praying for you I know how you feel it's a dark place but that's what Satan wants for you but God wants to bring you light. God allows medicine for a reason. People do care let others that understand this into your life it can help . Talking with people that understand can help. meditate on Jesus and let him love on you . Ask God to send those people into your life because he uses others to help us though these things. Please believe me I know how you feel it can feel like a very dark place nothing can seem good or make you happy but it can pass and you will see happiness again. Don't give up please please see a doctor and talk about this sometimes we can't fix this on our own. Praying for you and praying you will see joy again . I care !

    When you learn to put God first, ultimately, nothing else matters.
    Once the Holy Spirit gives you that spirit of discernment, you will be able to deal with everyday challenges, people, and trials. What a 'beautiful' gift knowing that the Holy Spirit is with you 'everyday' helping you and being that steering wheel in my life. ' Hallelujah' for this gift. 'ALL' praise and glory in the matchless Name Jesus Christ. Try putting God first in everything, you will 'not' be disappointed. Blessings.

      Thank you for this powerful message that struck my soul like a bolt of lightning. Here I am making more money than ever in my life and am able to provide for my children and my grandchildren of which I am thankful. Never seem to get ahead. Credit card bills from the holidays, dog in the vet hospital, and so on that takes away from the bottom line. God's tabernacle which is my body and health is all taking second place. I heard loud and clear to STOP FOCUSING ON MY CAREER. It too will soon be gone.
      Praying for a revival in my soul, a hunger to seek Him first with all that I am so that I can be all He wants to be in my life. Lead me Father on the path you want me to follow and fill my lamp with oil so I will not be found ashamed and not ready when you return. Use me Lord to bless others. Prioritize those things in my life that really do not matter. Hear my prayer Lord. God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ and strengthen us for the last of the last days in which we live.

    I asked God not to put me in a class with the people I don't feel like seeing. The exact same people I asked to not be in the same room with me are here. That's when I realized it's all just preparation. I'll keep my faith in him even through the darkest days. I know it's gonna be difficult in the future but you have to remember Job. Satan is the ruler of this world and the people. God also has control. It's just up to us to keep our faith in him. Sometimes you get what you desire from God. You'll also get the exact opposite of what you ask and it's meant to teach you a lesson. You can't just have faith in God because of all the good things you have in life. You have to have faith in him through all your problems as well. All of us are bound to suffer. No one can avoid it. It doesn't matter what color your skin is, how you look, your social status, or how large your net worth is. Our goal in this life is to just be prepared for the better and the worst. We are his righteous warriors.

    His question really helped me understand that my last relationship was my #1 priority at the time and after a year and three months, it was taken away for something because I wasn’t prioritizing God. It was also some short time after I had taken her to church as well that it happened as well. Then afterwards, I find a TikTok video about the rapture that starts making me question where I’m at with God and so I start crying because I’m scared of that and I ask the Lord to forgive me. I continue to walk down the road later and this recent Sunday, I got re-saved by Jesus and I’m learning more about myself through Him. Praise God for the good handiwork

    OK I need a few clues here on how to apply this for two different loved ones: an adult child and my sister. They both and their spouses are flourishing financially great jobs great income, lovely homes. They are Christians but they don’t really go to church, they don’t really have Christian friends that I’m aware of, they are not hungry for God. They are doing far better than I am and I’m the one with the reputation for encouraging people to read your Bible, praise the Lord seek God, learn to hear his voice etc. I can’t share this message with them. I am all in, I always share my faith, I have a spirit of evangelism, hungry for God.
    At one point I lost everything, $100,000 in medical bills unable to walk for six months…still kind of recovering.… Always praising the Lord no matter what.

      Thank you for sharing your struggles with us but I must tell you the Bible never promised us prosperity the Bible never promises that we’re going to get everything that we want.
      If you look at the book of Job Job was a righteous man and eyes of God and lost everything.
      Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth sometimes bad things happen to good people. You and I aren’t promised everything that you want but we do know that our Savior Jesus Christ went through the same struggles he died on the cross for us.
      His death on the cross was Not for us to live a prosperous life but for us to live, to be reconciled with God for our sins and to made new in the eyes of God.
      I don’t know why bad things happen to good people that’s a question that I reserved as one of my inquiries whenever I get to heaven because it is confusing at times. But what I do know is Jesus Christ my Savior died for my sins he rose again on that third day and I am promised eternity once I believe receive and live my life in accordance to his will and follow him.
      Stay in courage keep your mind on Christ, he said visit and care for the poor, the elderly the widows feed his sheep, whatever I’m going through rough times which is right now I have a lot of health issues I focus on others and not myself and my issues.
      I hope this helps God bless you God keep you I pray that he continually watches over you and gives you the strength to endure to the end in Jesus holy name.

      Dear friend if I may encourage you? when things like this occur in plain view, it is difficult and you may wonder if God sees your effort, I know at many times I have, simply because that's what the Bible calls " hope deferred making the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life " Proverbs 13: 12, God understands your question, the success that you loved ones may experience, maybe his grace on display, as the Bible says "he doesn't treat us as our sins deserve," the trials that you've experienced, has allowed you to come out the fire purified, with a greater zeal and dedication to the Lord, not to say that they could deal with adversity immediately following the success that they had, but if they do, you'll be there to keep them encouraged as they go through, as you've gone through. You can be on the very brink of the restoration God has instore for you, only he knows and that is my prayer for you, that he'll restore and relieve you as well, encourage and strengthen you to really see him in all things including his hand moving over your situation. Continue to pray that your loved ones will get a closer relationship with him, don't be alarmed if it occurs in a way that may show as a trial. please continue to be encouraged and hold on, we are all a part of the body of Christ and need each other.💞

    Thanks for the message! Living in a secular world with so many distractions, good and bad can cause much confusion over priorities.

    The Lord is trying to get my husband’s and I attention in this matter. I came across this very exact scripture yesterday. Read it to my husband, and told him what the spirit was saying to me. I encouraged him but don’t think he paid much attention. Then I came across this video... no coincidences here. Please pray for us that we will fully repent and the word of God will fully pierce and convict me and my husband’s heart as he is the head of our household. Pray that we will make God and his kingdom first priority in our lives and not the things and luxuries of this world.
    Edit: This word is so true. This exact thing is happening to us now because of our sins. Please heed this warning ⚠️ my husband and I have both lost our well paying jobs I’ve gotten more ill we lost our home had to move back in with my parents and our 3 kids we are extremely behind in our payments we try to save and cannot seem to do so even though we’ve gotten blessed abundantly with finances it always seems to disappear. Please use our testimony and be wise. I pray this helps some of you.

      AZTL Thanks for your reply and encouragement. And great advice. Unfortunately the things that have happened to us I believe are supernatural for God to get my husband’s and I’s attention to make Him and His Kingdom and righteousness a priority in our lives and to know to seek first His Kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added to us.
      My job is budgeting, we’ve heard of Dave Ramsey and have watched Him, but he can’t save us from the discipline of God nor can my skillsu.
      Repentance and prayer for a mind and blessed hands for good stewardship over what we have been given and the ability to make our Heavenly Fathers house #1 on our to do list tops anything else because what’s happening to us isn’t natural it’s supernatural.

      So you believe in a sadistic unloving God rather than recognize unfortunate things simply happen, or even attributing to an attack from Satan rather than God? What did you and your husband do to allegedly deserve punishment of terribly difficult life circumstances which other imperfect human Christians have avoided so as to not be punished on Earth for their lack of perfection?
